get the moto G.
awesome phone. freakin fast.

i thought moto G is weak, but other than camera and storage, it kindda pownes s3.

screen super sharp, color very nice (not over saturate like amoled, not pale like sony screen)
battery so good, wifi all day, 5 hour SOT with 35% remaining. (it beats my s3 with extended battery)
it is actually faster and more responsive than s3, opening apps, switching between apps, animations, so silky smooth.

i dont feel benchmark is important, but did some test
it get 8k in quadrant, s3 only 5k+
antutu 17k+
A1 SD, 100MB/s read, 30MB/s write
(above score is on 4.3 jellybean)


great bettery life and nice looking stock android. only the camera tak boleh pakai. no nfc.
very good phone for the price.

Should be same ma. What so special about imperium rom?

Different display mode?

Very true.
So satisfied with 4.4, I rarely post here anymore.

I never gets bootloop in temasek.

In fact I never get bootloop in any rom.

How u get bootloop? Flash wrong kernel?

No idea. Your home button spoil? Maybe It register as long press when u short press

My iPad was stuck in DFU mode when I tried to update ota

Go google how much error iTunes is causing during updating.
Maybe I'm bad luck. But both my iPad and my mothers one got stuck in DFU when upgrading to iOS 6 and 7
Need to fully restore and lose all data only can update. And there is no downgrading. So stressful and angry.

At least for android, have cwm, can restore anytime.

Cm 10.2.1 released. Any one tried.

Does the camera animation lag fixed? Previously all Aosp 4.3 rom have horrible lag in camera animations. Eg, swipe at view finder to go to gallery

Last week I went back to slim 4.2.2 also since I got fed up with the Bluetooth audio issue in 4.4
But 4.2 Bluetooth issue even worst. It causes wifi to get disconnected.

4.3 slim is good overall. But the camera animation is so laggy.
I paiseh to snap pic also. People see will think mine is pirated china s3.
Seriously any camera app also laggy on 4.3

If you guys are on 4.4 and using Bluetooth speaker,
You'll notice there is horrible music stutter, only affect Bluetooth audio. Normal 3.5 mm jack is working fine.

Finally there is a solution for it. Flash one of the Bluetooth driver in xda link above.
Now no more stutter, even using yank zzmove governator also no issue.

So happy finally 4.4 no more issues for me. Smooth, fast and nice.

using temasek rom since december. great rom

frankly speaking 4.1,4.2,4.3,4.4 no difference in smoothness.
4.2>4.1 for lock screen widget and photosphere cam
4.3>4.2 trim support
4.4>4.3 less ram usage, more free ram, and cached apps

last week i flash back 4.3 and 4.2 slimbean, feels same only for smoothness. dont feel any downgrade in terms of smoothness whatsoever

for note3, they got kitkat update already. my friend say other than battery icon turn white, no difference also.
lol...note 3 already very very fast. at all time also have 1+GB free ram with 20+ apps in cache.
clash of titans 100+MB so big also can be kept in cache.

Yank kernel. Awesome with zzmove governator

I use 3000 may battery
I use swiftkey and there is no lag
My yank kernel is mostly default, but max cpu is 1.4 GHz, no screen off cpu limit, and no audio mod

I use cm11 by temasek, there is no power saving mode.
That is a Samsung touch wiz feature

You need to flash banks gapps to get Google edition launcher.

Cm 11 is using their own trebuchet launcher.

here you go.
i personally dont get whats the hype with GEL (google edition launcher)

there are too many problems and lack of features

problems
~icons are crazy huge, causing some icons to be blur
~only 4x4 grid which is BIG waste of space
~extra steps to add widgets and create new page
~wallpaper issues, since first page is defaulted to the extreme left, whatever wallpaper you set, you'll only see the left side
~waste of battery, always listening using mic while in home screen

lack of features (compared to nova)
~no custom icons
~no gestures (swipe up/down with 1/2 fingers or rotate clockwise/anticlockwise to launch apps/activities)
~customizable grid (i prefer 5x5 grid)

i never update, i think v43 is stable already

temasek nightly sometimes will have some screw ups in some version.

some screw ups from previous version eg. hangout video upside down, camera cant connect error
those are solved quickly but still wasted alot of my time cwm restoring back to previous version that work

v44 have issue with streaming video from fb or youtube, no picture, only sound, need reboot to solve
v45 apparently breaks the notification led

also i notice since he add screen recording, phone gets laggy abit.
his rom is 200MB, after i delete lost of rubbish systems apps, it became 160MB, then only i flash.
you can open the rom zip file using 7zip program, then delete stuff you dont want, or replace stuff you wan inside.

i deleted all the live wallpaper, useless ringtones, and bloatware system apps (terminal emulator, dsp manager, stock messaging, trebuchet, screen recorder, omniswitch etc)

undervolting will eventually lead to SOD.
phone deepsleep until cannot wake even after you press power button. need pull battery

Direct upgrade without factory reset for a major software version will surely have risk of weird issue. Especially when u have lots of apps installed.

And I can't believe you trust Samsung that much with their ota by not backing up. Even apple screw my iPad when I update ota from ios6 to ios 7. I got stuck in DFU mode (android equivalent of boot loop)

The point is, always backup before os update. It's common sense.

your previous updates are normal bug fixes, still on the same android version. 4.1
now you are skipping 2 versions ahead. and since android 4.2, the file system is different,
the internal memory have a new location. surely there will be issues regardless how hard samsung tries.
best is a clean install to avoid weird issues.

even a device as fast as note 3, the kitkat update cause some slow downs for some (a minority, not all) device.
since 4.3->4.4 is very different as well
