Gonna pull the trigger but...

I have been plugging away on my GS3 with CM10 and loving it. Really want the N7 but will going from 4.8 to 7 inch screen significantly improve the experience enough to justify two devices?

I have an Infuse with a 4.5 and it looks small in comparison, of course I have been using a Nook Color for a tab so I knew what I getting into with the 7". Using the keyboard in landscape mode is great!!!!!

As somebody who owns a GS3 I feel it was totally worth the buy. I primarily use my phone when I'm on the go. When I get home it is all Nexus 7 for me. The bigger screen makes it much easier to browse the internet with.

I was wondering the same thing. I have my GS3 running AOKP, which I love...but this tablet looked perfect. I have a 10" HP, which was a bit too big to be comfortable in bed and typing on it sucked. This tablet is perfect for me...and I just flashed AOKP!! Bought it today so I am still in love with it. I didn't think I was going to keep it...but I was very wrong. Go for it bro!!

Just in case you do need further reassurance, I also have a sgs3 as well as a Nexus 7. My phone is for on the go, and my tablet is more for gaming like asphalt 7 and such.

I haven't used my phone all night, other than to respond to text messages. This pad is perfect. I could not be happier. Worst case buy o e and try it out. You could always return it. I had almost every I intention of doing that since this was not in my budget...but its that good that I'm keeping it.

I bought one recently and I don't like it at all. Probably because of the lack of custom roms. I'm a cyanogenmod person =x

Yeah, I see at least 2 cm10 nightlies and a couple more based on cm10. Not sure what he's on about.

you'll be glad you got it. I keep my phone in my pocket all the time and have it Bluetooth tethering my n7. I use my tab to text, make calls, etc. Very rarely do I ever use my phone anymore.

I don't get it, when we have an HTC or Samsung phone, we go to great measures to remove the stock Ui and only dream to have a pure android experience on it.
This is exactly what we have here. A pure android experience. Not sure what you're looking for when you look for a custom rom on the N7?

Odd yeah? I just prefer the tweaks of cyanogenmod and it's launcher. Feels faster than stock.

There are camera mods in the themes/apps thread. You might look there if you are rooted that is. I use Camera ZOOM Fx for a longer time and i am very happy with the app personaly.

You flash s4 firmware on your phone, you can sell it to the gypsies for the value of ~130g glass, plastic, silicone + some metal.
Do not.

sell your nexus and go to touchwiz if you want any of its features a high possibility that they won't be ported.

Is there panoramic on camera zoom fx?

Getting Nexus 4

Hi,
Im currently using note 2. And I'm getting tired of it I think I'm getting nexus 4 instead
Will the nexus 4 receive android 5 ?
I heard some rumours about Google making new flagship phone for Android 5.0
Thanks in advance

Nexus devices will always receive the newest android version for a while. So expect the nexus 4 to get upcoming versions. As for the x phone, its up to you. I just got my nexus last Friday and very happy with it

Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

I believe the GNote 2 is also getting 5.0 but it's going to be much later than Nexus devices. Lol
What is it that you're tired of ? Is it the huge screen size of the GNote ? The specs on the GNote are pretty great imo.

Don't do it. I love the N4 but overall the Note 2 is the better phone Root it and debloat it and its fast as lightning Just my 2 cents

sorry wrong topic

Maybe in benchmark tests but not in real life when you debloated the phone. Better battery life. More storage and S pen off course.

+1 and you have the choice of touch wiz or aosp on the N4 it's just aosp... Sometimes I get bored and wish I could get a skin like sense or touch wiz they've both really improved throughout these years and they're optimizations help the android experience!
I recommend flashing anything by ptmr3! He's super legit at making twiz fast! I had his rom for my s2 with Fauxs kernel and it was flying!

Anyone else notice the One is faster?

Running Paranoid Android and in playing with the One I have noticed it is generally smoother. Could this be the software?

its the hardware, and maybe some proprietary bits in the software.

I thought with the s4 pro we were at the point we had more power than was needed to run our phones at top speed though. Was I wrong?

there are always optimizations that can make thing a little better. most of the optimizations(like dalvik) on nexus phones would be propritary. plus the cpu is a more recent revision(among other things).

Of course it's faster. It has a Snapdragon 600 processor. In other breaking news, water is wet, and the sky is blue.

I agree. Android should be optimised for the Nexus range ONLY, like Apple do with iOS. Only then will it ever be a perfectly smooth experience.
If other companies wanna put out 15 Android phones a year, then they should do their own optimisations to ensure it runs properly.

They do do their own optimizations... they optimize their Android manufacturer skins (TouchWiz, HTC Sense, etc)

It may feel faster but that's only cos of the transitions HTC have added in, they have minimised many that are in stock android and sped up a few as well, thus overall giving the illusion that it runs faster :L

Its probably the software HTC uses. Try the S4 Touch wiz launcher on the Nexus 4. Really smooth. Smoother than the stock one

That's bs. Any truthful Nexus 4 owner will tell you that there's still lag and slowdowns here and there. If Google had more ex-engineers from apple then we'd probably have better software *cough* camera.

i hear, rumors of course, that they are gonna focus(pardon the pun) on the camera on the next nexus.

The HTC One is a beautiful device. It's specs are amazing. I just wish it didn't have to cost over $500-$600. It would be sweeter if HTC makes the next Nexus smartphone.

I'd have to avoid it. I hate HTC. My phone LCD cable stops working and you know what they told me?
"You took the HTC dev unlock, it'll cost $250 to fix"
Yes because software breaks your display cable. And thats when I ran it over with my truck

Well they had their turn with the first one... supposedly right now it's between Motorola and LG. It would be weird if it was LG again, from what I heard before Google liked to switch from manufacturer to manufacturer for promotional purposes.
