got snapdragon version

still using S4 Snapdragon variant orh
lololol...
and bout sony, i agree... exynos no released kernel code...

No release sos code why not snapdragon?  Snapdragon shud have good developrers support.

Apart from cm/aosp, personally I find all I need is rooted stock with xposed framework and a few mods. Mod yr own rom man.

And do not forget that when discussing the Note, it is about the stylus which I am really into.

You seem to hold some bitterness against Samsung from the way you post, even in the note1 thread.

Those are just rumored spec..nothing is confirmed. Although I myself hope for a bigger battery too, but who knows if Samsung is using a newer batt technology that can give better battery performance

wah.. before butter, now roadrunner?
remind me about the cartoon again
and mind share the link ?

I think it's still too early for Note 3

TW as you say is laggy on Note 1. On Note 2, it's actually pretty good, not that I use it either. I do not recall how to use TW since I always slap on Nova once I reset the phone. I feel no lag.

To say that TW uses more RAM at idle is probably correct across the board, so the fact remains that more RAM is beneficial. You either like the TW add-ons, or you don't.

I mean mainframes used to have 1Mb of RAM and gawd that was fantastic. Then your desktop gets 640kb....nobody needs more than 640kb right? Look where we are now.
However, seriously, if people don't like TW, change the launcher. This is Android, not the other magical locked down ecosystem where you can only get to change your phone casing.

Well, I have used before few HTC devices and also I have the note 10.1 with me and S3 with my sis. What I notice is that touchwiz uses more ram to keep the application in memory for your multi tasking purpose. Those day when I used the one x intenet browser and then open up the fb say for 15mins then when I try to open back the browser, all the taps have to be reloaded. But that's not the case with my note 10.1 and my sis s3. The reason why we need more ram is for multi tasking purpose. If you are given 2gb of ram and always paranoid to see it being occupied and have to kill apps constantly, then those unused ram is just wasted resources.

Anyhow phones are just a device for we to use. Just choose which suit you the best. For me, if you ask, I would still prefer sense over touchwiz especially in their phonebook and smart dial management. Sense can joint few similar contacts for you but with touchwiz you have tondo lots of things manually. But I know I will root my phone after getting it so the custom ROM helps to fox most of my issue. And from s4 and galaxy mega I can see touchwiz also made some improvement in their smart dial system. Furthermore HTC can sync higher resolution fr fb to be used as caller id but Samsung can't. But is that can't be fixed? I used friendcaster to remedy the problem. All you need to do is to do aome research.

I do agree not everyone will root their phone and like to flash custom ROM. So jz based on your own requirement and choose the best solution for you. Like what joytest mentioned, in android, you get all the flexibility you need.

So you mean to say stylus use sucks on the xzu?
