So what do you guys think of iOS 7 - especially in comparison with Samsung and android itself.
It features quite a few things that Samsung and Google had already incorporated:
Samsung (AirDrop/S Sharing features, toggles (before 4.2) etc. let me know if any more)
Google (Flat design, live wallpapers a functional Notification Centre, Self-clearing notifications, proper multitasking etc. let me know if any more)
The way I see it, it is Apple playing a huge catch-up card and I thing it will really benefit the industry - Google are really gonna have to make some good innovations to stop consumers from being wowed by a fresh look that we've been enjoying for a while.
Do you think Samsung will take design cues from Apple again in terms of OS (come on, there were a lot of similarities)? Or do you think they'll stick with what they have? I personally hope they move towards stock Android in design - Holo etc.
And more controversially! iOS 7 or Stock Android with TouchWiz??
And this is related to the GS3, how exactly?
iOS 7 looks better than its predecessors, but it's still crap and that will never change. They've taken the stinky old turd known as iOS 6, polished it a bit, gave it a makeover, but underneath it's still a stinky turd and they've defiled Android by using many Android features and acting like they invented them.

It's related in three ways:
1. iOS7 is used on its direct competitors and so it's important to consider comparisons of software available on both
2. It's going to be interesting to see how iOS 7 runs on the 4S (as they are v.similar products) compared to 4.2.2 (or later) on the GS3
3. Some of these features were made reasonably mainstream by GS3 - e.g. wifi direct
EDIT: at least that's how I see it...
There are forums for Android as a platform I'm sure it'd be more relevant for

A Brilliant simulation launcher exactly like the Iphones UI....Boring as hell
Well done to the developer for creating such an accurate launcher
if you want iPhone's UI, I think you'd better get an iPhone.
I just hate this "memory game" UI
Sorry just me being sarcastic...
Basically to explain my post, the UI is boring as hell, why on earth would you want to get an Iphone
If you like this you could also try Espier launcher (free on market)!
Aah got bored just watching it
Once ICS is here I guess cant be bothered with all this launchers.....
Cool thanks guys seriously today i was really in a mood of ios n installed MIUI and with these launchers my dream is true

I wholeheartedly agree
i had an iphone before my samsung galaxy s2 !
but i have to say, that iphone is boring now, because the style is always the same ! this was the reason why i bought the samsung galaxy! When you look at the new Iphone 4s you'll see no new style, only the inside life is new, but design is an important point for me !

The sense of update entitlement that is starting to grip the entire Android community is becoming really, really, tiresome.
For phones going form GB to ICS I get it. ICS is a HUGE leap from GB. For those with Honeycomb on tablets I have to ask. What does ICS offer YOU that you would actually use day to day that Honeycomb doesn't already offer.
Not looking to troll here. Looking for honest answers. ICS is not that radically different from Honeycomb.
On a less serious note, this thread made me laugh my ass off.
Incidentally I agree completely. Last phones Vibrant, then GS2. Tablet G-Tab 10.1. After the updating mess on Vibrant and the delays of the GS2 I now own a HTC S. I am done with Samsung.

Its more efficient as a whole. Better monitoring potential. Most importantly for me, need drivers so TouchWiz can be removed with all working hardware. This changes the game from a performance perspective.

I can't speak for others but I want ICS because I'm hoping Shamsung would get it right and put out a firmware that actually works right and isn't defective. I love my Tab now with Task14 and Pershoot's kernel but I shouldn't have to use all that to have a smooth working tablet. They sold me a $600 fine piece of hardware with a crummy OS. I'm also hoping that even if they don't get it right the source will help devs keep developing for this device.

Android 4.2 could be just weeks away folks, and rumors are already
starting to circle on what the Mountain View company is cooking.
But careful, this rumors come from a very trustworthy source,
so if you want to wait for Google’s keynote to see Android 4.2′s features,
we suggest you click away. But who can’t help to learn what
Google has come up with this time right?
Customization Center
OEM skins have been solved once and for all. With this feature,
OEM’s can build their skins in the Customization Center and publish them on the device,
leaving stock Android intact. The themes could have different ringtones, backgrounds, launch themes and others of the sort.
Project Roadrunner
Your battery life is about to triple. Google has been rumored to focus a lot on
battery life in this release of Android. Remember how Project Butter increased
the speed of your device and how drastic the change was? Well get ready,
because battery life is about to get an upgrade..without switching batteries of course.
Google Play
Google Play is up next, and the rumor is more features are going to be
added to the ever growing app store. New features include promotional campaign
notifications, easier in-app transactions, more billing options and more.
Google Now
If you want information then and now, Google Now will become your best friend.
But Google Now is about to get even more helpful, with the rumored features of
being able to control the brightness, turn on and off system functions and more.
Video Player
The video player for Android is pretty basic, so the rumor is that Google decided
to update to add more API’s for developers and give it a UI makeover.
Conclusion
There we have it folks, Android 4.2 laid out. Taylor from AndroidandMe’s source
has always been right on the money with other information so we would be
shocked if any of this information is wrong above.
So, who’s cooking the Key Lime Pie tonight?
Sounds too good to be true.
So you get the latest updates, without waiting.

you still have different phones with different hardware components so no, I'm guessing you won't get latest updates without waiting.

Edit thx
Yeah, I'm not buying this. Google Play, Video Player and Google Now are more like software updates and won't require a new version of the operating system (remember, this isn't Apple we are talking about). The customization thing might be true, but it won't get you the latest updates just like that since the hardware components are different with pretty much every phone, just like ivan1real said. And the triple amount of batterylife won't really happen just because of the different hardware components. There really aren't that many "magical" ways to increase the batterylife unless you know how the hardware works exactly to control the battery usage properly (and even then, it would be up to the manufacturer, not Google, to optimize their drivers).
Also, there have been hints that the next Android version would still be called Jelly Bean much like 2.0 and 2.1 were both called Eclair:
According to this article in Androidpolice.com, the Nexus phone build numbers first letter usually tell you the what the operating system's name is. For example, with Gingerbread, everything began with G, with ICS with I and now with JB with J. So, if the Android 4.2's build numbers also start with J, it couldn't be called Key Lime Pie.
Perhaps request a mod to sticky this. This is sure to stir up some posts and seems like a good thread to use. Great job on the OP though..it's a good intro and nicely done!
Oh and you should link the source. You mention the source but no link??

You sure you are talking about Android? Seems like you are confused between iOS6 and KLP...
Sounds unlikely. With so few devices on jellybean, it's unlikely that android 4.2 will be released this year. Besides, there's usually only one major android update a year.
like project butter, i forsee roadrunner would only work well on nexus hardware and screw up on other hardware chipsets especially sammy's closed sourced exynos...

Why yes, yes it does. And so did the SGS3 compared to most of its competitors including the One X. The N2 looks cheap too compared to other devices but look what LG's gone and done with the 5.5" Optimus G Pro. Why do you think that is? Answer: the "cheap" looking phone is a market leader and sells in massive quantities and LG wants a piece of Samsung's pie. LG's taking a "if you can't beat them, join them approach" while HTC's going their own way (again). We'll know which approach wins by mid-year based on sales.

Funny thing I like the LG's design more. It's so sexy and that's the first time I ever said about an LG device not counting the Nexus.
What strange remarks!
The One seems to have awesome build, it definitely feels expensive and looks pretty awesome compared with almost all the competition. Can't argue there. But to post side by side pictures of what could be almost identical phones and say that one is sexy and other not is just silly. We all - I assume - know that the UI can and will be changed by most if not all users that read this forum and another launcher will probably also be installed. That's one of the joys of android.
TouchWiz, Sense does it really matter. I really disliked TouchWiz on my Galaxy S, put that was 3 years ago. TouchWiz on my Note II is crazy smooth and fluid and to be honest never really seen as I use Nova Prime or SSlauncher.
I chose the Note II for the battery, the screen size and the S-Pen. Others choose for other reasons. Lets live and let live.
One last observation. The UI is just a door to the fun stuff on the inside!

Well I have the 6 Plus and Note 4. I can do things just as quickly on the Note as on the iPhone. The only lag on my Note is the recent apps button which almost everyone has mentioned by now. The iPhone also isn't perfect. I've had a few iOS apps freeze on me and I'd have to close the app in order to fix it.
Idk. People like to hate on touchwiz since it's seen as a bloated, lag infested skin. I'm no fan of it, but TW isn't as bad as some people make it out to be. My Note 4 has been running like a champ and I'm happy with it.

Well, I'm not going to try and convince you to stay with Android. Life is full of choices. You made the choice to go with Android for I assume good reasons. Now you want to go to iOS. because your phone is experiencing something none of the rest of us are experiencing. I won't even try to diagnose your lag problem because it can be so many different things (apps installed, network connection, widgets running, a misbehaving app, available memory resources etc). But if you've eliminated all the things that could cause you lag and your phones still lags, then yes, it is probably a bad phone. Have you done a Factory Reset and run the phone without any user apps installed to see if lag persist? If you'd rather have an Android phone then I'd try to exchange my Note 4 for a different one before going to iOS. They have their problems too, and very little customization and flexibility. If you like what "Big Brother" forces you to conform to, then go to iOS. Have fun. It's another choice in a life full of choices...some are good, and some are not so good.

I have a Galaxy Note 2014 tablet that is rooted and things can be better BUT i've found no matter what Android lags significantly compared to IOS. App for app iOS is just more fluid, not perfect. Its a shame as a I prefer the flexibility of Android.

Iphone 6/6 plus are good phones. Nothing wrong with that. I'd say it's a matter of what you want and/or need to do on the phone. The iphones are definitely more smooth with animations and a bit better performance. For me, having the homescreen widgets, greater customization options, and the ability to use hotspot with my unlimited verizon out-weight the polished albeit limited experience on the iphone. I have played with new iphones and I like them, just prefer android.
