[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohitrocks:
Hi All,

I currently have a Motorola Milestone (international version of the droid) and I was wondering if I should update to the Galaxy Nexus. Acknowledging the fact that I can only classify my phone as "usable" if I have a rom which runs Froyo and is overclocked from 550mhz to 1GHz (The Froyo Mod by 89luca89). As a result of these tweaks and the overclock, my phone only lasts about 6-7 hours with a considerable amount of usage which is far to little for my expectations. I live in Canada and if I were to get a new phone it would at least be on a 2 year contract on Bell. Looking at the specs of the Galaxy Nexus it doesn't compare too much above the competition, and in terms of raw specs I believe that some competitors could easily surpass the performance of the Galaxy Nexus which essentially means that eventually, it won't be as great and would compare to other products (e.g. iPhone 2G against iPhone 4).

Okay, so at this point it seems as though I have made my decision to wait for longer but....

Although the Galaxy Nexus compared to a lot of the other competition seems to have underwhelming specs, it is still the first ice cream sandwich phone which Google and Samsung collaborated upon which means that the software would be tailored specifically for the hardware and vice versa. Also, I believe that the developer base would probably be extremely huge because of the number of consumers purchasing this product and the huge interest for developers with the newest version of Android. ( I mean look at the Nexus One!) Now another probem that I see with the Galaxy Nexus is that the GPU is 4 years outdated so it might not be the best phone to get but then again how many games do you really play on your phone? (I think the GPU is identical to the GPU in the Nexus S but apparently the processor is more-so tailored for multitasking and better performance, but not gaming)

As you can clearly see I'm at cross-roads and I seriously need some opinions.

My question to you guys is:

Should I get the Galaxy Nexus (on Bell's network) when it comes out in Canada or should I wait for a successor or a faster alternative such as the Samsung Galaxy S3.

Thanks, and your opinions are greatly appreciated :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slowz3r:
every person will give you a different answer/ reasoning behind that answer, in the end it would be do you want to spend the money. Im a Nexus fiend so I will say yes get it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shadow-Nexus:
If you wait for a while the droid RAZR is coming out and the specs are pretty awesome
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slowz3r:
specs are only part of a phone, motorola likes locking down their phones pretty tight, and god knows how they will provide updates
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohitrocks:
I don't mind spending the money at all but I'm just afraid that it will get outdated too quickly because of the specs

The specs are pretty similar to the Galaxy Nexus, and I'd assume that the Galaxy Nexus would have much more developers which is good for me because I love mods, themes, roms, etc. Also I honestly don't want to wait that long to get ice cream sandwich and also motorola might ruin the entire experience if they add blur.

Thanks for your opinions guys, I think it is fairly evident that I am heading towards the Nexus Prime :) I probably have to wait for a very long time though since I don't think a GSM version with LTE will be available on Bell's network that fast :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SophT:
As a fellow MS owner looking to upgrade, MOTO can take the RAZR and shove it. Never again will I buy a MOTO phone after dealing with the whole droid = unlocked, ms = locked. And MOTO has said they will lock down the RAZR, so forget that.

I'm getting a nexus prime or a xiaomi M-1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drae52:
This.

I am also a Milestone owner. I will NEVER buy another motorola product again. Locked Bootloader, sold as a "flash ready" phone with 2.1!?! Finally updates to 2.2 8 months later and the build is soo bad the phone practically can't be used (DSI Errors).

Really my question now is, Nexus or GS2? I was really hoping for the exynos in the nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohitrocks:
Yeah now I'm like 95% sure I'm going for the HTC Rezound or the Galaxy Nexus

I wouldn't get the GS2 though I would rather go for something like the Rezound just because it seems like old news now :P But I'm now debating whether fire power is more important or a higher developer base (in terms of both apps and roms) and newer OS
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psycho2097:
search for my post on the sub par hardware thread in the GN general forums. u will be convinced.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kanariya:
If you want a phone that doesn't get outdated fast, the Galaxy Nexus is the choice because you are guaranteed to get the latest update directly from Google in a timely manner.

The NS will surely lasts you 1.5 to 2 years and it will be one of the first phones to get the next version of Android next year.

The Nexus S is still one of the best phones out there with the latest software while other older high spec phones are crying to their manufacture for updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrianDigital:
I would just say this for a point of view as a Nexus S users

If you spend time hacking and rooting your phone to rip off what ever manufactured skinned into your phone get the nexus

If you like speedy updates with new OS's get the nexus

The nexus s dev section might look slow to some people, but thats cause everything doesnt need to be fixed, its been a treat not to have the feeling to flash a rom to update a bug, its great.

I dont think I will ever buy another android phone that is not a nexus line, think about all those cool feature baked into ICS that you will probably not see if say Moto removed the lock screen and puts in their own dialer and such just saying
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohitrocks:
But from a hardware perspective the Galaxy Nexus isn't very strong. I wanted to get something along the lines of the new Exynos processor and certainly not that 4 year old gpu which I doubt could render games at such a high resolution. I might be looking to get the new Samsung galaxy s 2, the one with LTE and apparently theres an new one with a 1.6GHz exynos processor I think. Nonetheless, thanks for your reply

It might get outdated fairly quickly though as the gpu is fairly bad and the processor isn't the greatest and the competition is exponentially rising
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kanariya:
It's all up to you for what you think is more important.

I would take the pure Android experience, guaranteed timely updates over better spec on paper. The real world performance might be differ as ICS is optimized for the OMAP instead of the Exynos.

I would still take my Nexus S over any non Nexus device out there on the market today.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shadow65781:
There is a reason that samsung has sold more android phones than motorola.

Better Hardware, better software.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragooon123:
Not sure about Samsung against Motorola but Samsung's software generally sucks. That's the reason I want to avoid Galaxy S2 and get a Galaxy Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhiral.v:
Agreed. I really do hate TouchWiz with a passion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beppez82:
I flashed CM7 on my SGS2 and loving it over the stock TW rom, also if there are some bugs (like BT sleep problem, and headphone volume that don't go higher than 50% closed source thinghs) but is blazing fast and customizable.

I will never go back again on stock Sams rom, that's why I'm getting a Nexus also if I'm disappointed on the hardware part.

For sure the sgs3 will be a kick ass, but sgs2 buyer's know that some battery eating bugs was solved from developers, after several months (Android OS process).

Well these is my opinion I can be wrong against some of you for sure, but as someone sayd I prefer flexibility and customisation over pure power, and I don't play games on a phone, so for me the Nexus is a must this year.

Sended from my SGS2

[HTC EVO 3D] shiftr182:
I believe Voodoo colors is for Samsung only so far. It specific to Super Amoled screens
[HTC EVO 3D] joehunni:
Yeah, our HTC phones work properly out of the box.
[HTC EVO 3D] XTRoRDiNAiRE:
I hate to disagree cus I was a long time og evo user but the evo 3d doesn't come close to the nexus s 4g
[HTC EVO 3D] joehunni:
I personally thank God for that since I prefer things that work properly and don't feel like a fridge magnet. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and we've each shown ours. Have fun with your free new lesser device?

I will die for it IceCream!!! the camera speed is so fast..
[Galaxy S II General] knightnz:
Using Gingerbread as a base presumably?

Given the amount of "non-standard" hardware in the SGS2, you'll need support libs from either an existing non-AOSP OEM firmware, or from CM7 won't you?
[Galaxy S II General] lilmark91:
great.. i hope u will port in a bunch of days
[Galaxy S II General] tongqihua:
it's so great.you can do it!
[Galaxy S II General] King Shady:
Lol no he can't. There isn't a FULL system dump of the Galaxy Nexus yet. There is only the dump from the SDK. He will probably theme it like Ice Cream Sandwich. Anyways good luck to the dev :)
[Galaxy S II General] LuffyPSP:
source is the power, says cyanogen. wont this be useless when the sources are released? wont this feel like wasting cuz when sources is released, other devs will easily make those ICS roms, instead of porting it.

well anyway good luck to the dev! :D
[Galaxy S II General] ante0:
That's not the point. Of course, a dump would be a lot better. But being the first to port and get a working SDK rom... Now that's where the fun is :P
[Galaxy S II General] netchip:
It is possible, we have the full SDK ROM.

Ask galnet how you import proprietary files with dependencies

[Galaxy S II General] Lennyuk:
I for one don't see this working as every device seems to be getting the same LibC error at the moment (except for some reason the G2).

The best hope seems to be getting a HC rom to work then using the boot.img from that to boot the ICS sdk port. (this is what we believe happened with the G2 to get it to boot)
[Galaxy S II General] Filman:
I would be satisfied with the new gmail application including widget :)

Cheers!
[Galaxy S II General] sopheaknhek:
Looking to try .Hope you have a great ICS.
[Galaxy S II General] Dorilife:
I agree

I Hope once your S1 port comes along better you jump on S2;)
[Galaxy S II General] Paradoxxx:
Fack yeah :)
[Galaxy S II General] Sergeant Droid:
Yeah! That's the right attitude!

OMG I was just thinking that we are getting ICS for our devices a little bit early! :D
[Galaxy S II General] MCOGW:
Ah okay, then you're (just as I had already thought of it myself)

already a lot more further ;)

Yes, I think so. But I couldn't manage to get rid of this :( Maybe this is also related to the wrong boot.img / zImage? Anyway, thx :)

If I can help in any other way, just let me know... ;)

We'll let you know when we will get a working screen+touchscreen.

I'm not going to make a port for those who call me a cheater.

I'll fix my phone, I will give vidio clip or screenshots.

I do not need your donations. but the port I will not now lay public.

This is my secind post in this thread....all i will say is that if they say u r a cheater....then this is the perfect time to prove them wrong by giving them the port....
[Galaxy S II General] sardroid:
I agree with you:)
[Galaxy S II General] mista1982:
just show us the result when you don't want to share your work.

So many Videos are in youtube and show Nexus S, HTC HD2 (NEW), HTC Desire, Nexus One and so on. So show us a Video result with the i9100 so maybe you get than donations. And you keep your honor.

Otherwise you just tell more than you do.

haha losers i got Jelly Bean working who needs ICS...my Jelly Bean is ten times better:D:D:D

[Galaxy S II General] norpan111:
It would be prefect for him to just lay the port up front and excuse his Beauvoir just to prove everyone wrong and show that your really a nice guy, not take the douche way of it and keep it to himself and then post video everyone still just call it fake . That leaves you with bad reputation and considered a cheater and a fraud. I know which way I would go...

[Galaxy S II General] chadouming:
I dont really think either. He would have to make the whole gpu driver from scratch. Even galnet can't make it for now ( pretty sure he will make it ). So if he can make it, and show us that i'm wrong, then i'll excuse my self. But for now, the only thing he had was bullshited thanks.

ICS official source code from Google is out, so we can expect a stable ROM before christmas :)
[Galaxy S II General] MS.:
We haven't got any stable Gingerbread based AOSP ROM yet (in 6 months), why would you think we get stable ICS by Christmas?

If Samsung will release one - cool. If you're waiting for a miracle from our devs - emmm... Such things doesn't happen so quickly, it's really big task.
[Galaxy S II General] Sichroteph:
Don't be so sure. It is obvious you didn't had an htc hd2 before this one ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] ferreinf:
+1 :D
[Galaxy S II General] MS.:
No i didn't. But please pay attention to the words "stable" and "AOSP". I could bet 50€ that we won't get stable ICS AOSP port by this Christmas.

[Galaxy S II General] Hollow.Droid:
You can make a SDK based rom, there will be several features not working but it is possible to a certain degree. The nexus one for example had a HC sdk rom that had working wifi and hardware acceleration, it was incredibly smooth. For a brief taster of ICS I'm sure most here will be happy with a partially functioning rom.
[Galaxy S II General] spirol:
If it gets ported from the SDK, will it be possible to disable/remove the on-screen buttons and use the hardkeys on our phones?
[Galaxy S II General] Mingo3k:
I have a feeling it will automatically scale to screen size..

Engadget have a tablet-resolution video up through the emulator, scales fine there.
