About to buy this phone.

Hey guys found 1 nexus 4 left on a tmobile store. good thing the sales man is my friend and he been saving it for me. Before buying it I would like to know what you think? I undecided if the one or the galaxy nexus. I like the quadcore and the 42+hspa speed on the nexus 4 but there are a lot of cool roms on the galaxy nexus. I also see that this is not aosp? Is that bad? Is there going to be more roms for this like with the s3 launcher and such. Also are the ports like the firefox os and other wip ports for the galaxy nexus will be on this one too?

This is AOSP. ROM development is already rocking and rolling and will only get better. Buy it and don't look back.

Multitasking is made possible due to modification in touchwiz framework as well as changes to 10-12 apps that support it like browser.
TW framework hogs lots of resources. Even Note2 lags far far more than Nexus.

So do you think we could at least get the multi tasking and the camera if possible?

No. Touchwiz camera is difficult to port even for aosp roms for samsung devices.
About multi Window check cornerstone it came long before Note2 there was a time when CM considered adding it. You can check if some dev is ready to include it in their Roms
Sent from LG Google Nexus 4 using XDA Premium

no. samsung doesnt release any source for tw so it doesnt work really

Thanks everybody I'll check out for Roms and such

Regarding the source code for tw can't you just extract the note 2 source code and modify that?

Purchase a Note 2 or SGS3 if you want those features. Those features are only for TouchWiz roms, tied with the frameworks and such. Closed drivers for the camera and what not so no this will not happen.

But the thing is I like a nexus I will not support Samsun

Source code is written in 1 or more programming languages. After it goes through a compiler it is horribly difficult to reverse engineer. Actually, horribly difficult doesn't sound hard enough.

You want Samsung features you need to support Samsung and buy their products. Getting a fully functional touchwiz ROM on a non Samsung device will most likely not happen.

I gather that you seem to enjoy touchwiz. Is there any reason why you will not buy a Samsung phone?

The reason I want it is so I can have versatility of nexus4 open development and have a pretty os on it

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

Is your galaxy note 2 rooted ?... I mean if you want a Nexus we can trade x) lol
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!

I mean, what is the point if not to simply wait 6 months and then do it. Price will be lower etc.. at least that... At the end, you have a great piece of smartphone which is doing fine, like now
ps: looking forward to see the price tag on S4 and then the next Note. Christmas discounts beats them all at the end... and then, it's each to his own Comming from SGS II I skipped S III as it was flawed, no leap, no nothing IMO. Saw S IV might give the boost, but still I doubt seen CM Dev's are turning their back at it... Dunno, I must evaluate, but no S iV Mini is a true upgrade option for me...
Cheers,
Fevv.

Ok.
Its officially confirmed by Samsung.
Also specs looks badass. Quadcore exynos

yes me too. BUT...
I hate Nexus 4's display. so much blue. the dark black is bluish (blue-ish). And the display is not calibrated and again what I hate about Nexus phones is the camera is bad. Although the phone is very fast and I love the pure stock Google's Android experience!
and by the way, how much the Nexus 4 priced in your country? mine is $500, I'm in Indonesia.. SO EXPENSIVE!!

Someone push the s4 on me?

Hi I have the iPhone 5 with iOS 7.
I completely hate it.
I'm stuck between the s4 and the htc one.
played with both today the s4 seems kinda "plasticy" and the htc one reminds me of the iphone build and the htc one in black is hawt.
why should i buy the s4 over the htc one?
i plan to root / custom rom the s4 once an exploit is found.
thnx

If you drop the S4, it bounces. The One will dent and put pressure on the screen and buttons if dropped causing more possible damage. I suggest a case for either one. The S4 has a larger more vibrant screen. A 13 megapixel camera vs the Ones 4 mp camera. Yes they say ultra pixel but it just takes pics with bigger pixels. Its a load of crap if you ask me.

Same dilemma I had. Chose S4 easily tho because SD card support is high on my list of must-haves.
The need for this new device was due to frying the last phone and not being to access the built-in memory at all after. Altho nothing I cared for was lost since everything was on an SD card.

i saw the red at att today and it looked nice.

use the GOLDEYE ROM, if you like stock.

my opinion, S4....
ViSiON-X the fastest stock out...

ATT has the certified like new black one for 29 bucks right now
