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.

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.

Hey guys, I have an att galaxy s3. I'm using an aokp ROM on it, and I really like it. I'd like a phone with a slightly smaller screen though, and for the price of the nexus 4 I think I need to get one. Is anybody else coming from an att s3 and what are some of your reasons?

You do know the screen size difference is 0.1"? I guess that qualifies as slightly smaller

Yes .1 smaller and on screen keys make it smaller too.

Going from a S3 to a Nexus 4? Same size phone, IPS screen. Don't know why you would bother unless it's going to be a beater.
From the looks of it the phone looks much more elegant than the s3. I'm tired of having my phone creak all the time. And official Google sounds really nice especially after using my nexus 7. Aokp Roms on s3 are nice but mine all have issues
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I'm coming from a T-Mobile S3. I don't think I will notice that much of a difference in screen size. The AOSP/AOKP roms were always a little buggy and had bad battery life on my S3 compared to the touchwiz roms. And since I hate TW and love vanilla Android, the Nexus 4 made a lot of sense.

Exactly. I have bad battery life as well with aokp. Only way to fix it is by flashing kernels but I have to do that every update and its just getting way too crazy to have aokp + more than 2hr screen on time. And with aokp my phone is always so hot. Nexus 4 sounds pretty good.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I am. My reasons why?
-Pure Google
-Quad-Core
-No more buggy ROMS
-Latest and greatest Updates
-More elegant in my taste
-More dev support
-More customization (easier bootloader to unlock, and as I said before, the dev support will be ahead of the game)
-WORLD PHONE. Going to be graduating this year.. If I travel for college or etc, my phone is always reliable.
I'm coming from a Sprint S3. Ideally, I think I'd like to try another S3 of the GSM variant. But I will probably be getting the new Nexus.
I'm seriously debating it myself. I love my nexus 7...my first Nexus device. I love my S3...just not sure what the real benefits would be. I love AOKP but putting that on the nexus, wouldnt that be defeating the purpose?

I'm pretty sure I'm going to stay with the s3...just because of the non removable battery. Maybe I wouldn't need to switch batteries but my battery life blows on my S3.

Same. Battery sucks on my S3. But I think that is due to bad LTE signal in my area.
Its so tempting. I love my Nexus 7...although that's different. I don't know. I will have to seriously sleep on this...for a few days. I love my S3...so if its not broke why fix it?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Couldn't you guys just sell your S3 for roughly the same price as a Nexus 4? Local listings where I'm at seem to be in the $300 range. Of course you'd lose out on LTE, but hey.
Definitely could. Just not sure I want to yet.

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.

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

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'm stuck between:
Note 3 (of course)
Sony Xperia Z1
Nexus 5 (when officially released to know the specs, but having it always get the latest updates does sound attractive. )
The HTC One Max is also a big phone that looks good, but we'll see. I've had the Note, Note 2 and SGS2 and my partner has the SGS3, and we live together. Samsung makes good phones and makes them to last (mine is 1 year old with 0 issues). But I might want to try something a little different, hence the change in device. 5 inch displays with on screen controls make the screen size even smaller. So I'm thinking of crossing out the Z1 and N5, but I don't know. They're VERY good phones and the camera on the Z1 is kick butt!
Note 5. Maybe then Samsung has 4K screens and a good developed flexible screen.
Probably a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 or something innovative.

I'll see the official specs of the nexus 5, especially the battery and the price.
It was announced to be 3000 mA and now the last news says 2400 mA which is clearely not enough.
I think I can sell my Note II and buy and Nexus 5 without loosing any money (or not that much)
Or else I'll keep my Note for one more year, I'm happy with it.
Note 3, rest doesnt come closer to it. Will buy in a month once prices cool down a bit.

Usually 1 year increments are not worth it.
Is the Nexus 5 an upgrade? Yes it has a better camera, better processor, etc. However, the Nexus 4 isn't a bad phone and is running the latest version of Android.
