[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Snook321:
Coming from an HTC Sensation, in can honestly say that HTC has the better Widgets but Touchwiz Nature UX has a better overall feel. HTC Sense feel bloated by all the unnecessary "eye candy". This is coming from someone who was a diehard HTC fan and hated Samsung. Touchwiz UX has blown me away and I really don't miss HTC Sense. I love my S3
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Div033:
Sense is terrible and one of the worst UIs.

J/k

Being on an incredible myself for so long I can say that I never truly liked sense because of how laggy the launcher was. I prefer perfectly smooth launchers and Samsung always seems to have that down (except for the gimped AT&T note). This phone is definitely no exception.

However, I love the look of sense 4.0 and wish Verizon had a One X variant. I like how HTC allows their customers to unlock their phones while Samsung doesn't seem to care. Then again I remember reading about how the AT&T One X was locked down, yet the Droid Incredible 4G LTE is easily unlockable. Difficult to say who is the most dev friendly with all these inconsistencies.

So basically I like Touchwiz more than Sense 1-3.5, but I like Sense 4 more than Touchwiz.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] w8setter:
I own a s3, nexus s 4g, and a evo shift 4g......also have a close friend with the evo 3d.Now sense looks beautiful, pure google was nice with the quick updates, but TW by far is the best experience i've had..Alot of features such as lockscreen weather, battery percent, quad lockscreen shortcuts, etc. are all features we were asking devs. to incorporate in their roms all come stock in tw.Also all the motion options and voice controls are hard to let go.....

I'll probably have to open this bad boy up right when I get it. It's going to be too tempting.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] moses410:
The one thing I can not stand about nature ux is the preloaded ringtones / notifications / alarms. They are literally ALL gd birds chirping and water trickles. I've had to use my old DInc 2 as a backup alarm cause I don't trust these damn stock alarms to wake me up!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jgalan14:
Well good think you are in android and you can download any alarm you want,my favorite app is zedge :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] JuggZaPoppiN:
I have been a long time HTC guy as well. Had all the Evo phones except the latest lte. I do miss having an Evo which I also ran Miui add I never really cared for sense. This phone has great features and honestly I'm just trying to learn to like it.

Overall though I must say, the screen on this phone looks amazing (besides best buy employees messing my screen protector up. Lol)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] bravomail:
Common opinion is that Sense is beautiful but bloated. This new TouchWiz with all S-apps became bloated too. But at least TW doesn't suffer from killing background apps.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] droidnamedjakke:
So I goofed, pretty big this time.:(

I was running CM9 Alpha 5 and decided to take another shot at CleanRom, I read through the beginning instructions and saw it was a straight forward flash in recovery.

I however didn't see that if I was using CWM there would be some major issues.. HEEEE wasn't lying.

The phone bootloops only getting to the initial HTC screen, the loading bar doesn't even load up then power off then repeats. What's even stranger is it won't turn off unless I plug the usb cord in and fiddle with it for a few mins. I figure if I can get back into recovery all should be bueno. Just how might I do that? I've tried getting to recovery from the phone itself and tried hooking it up to a PC that will see the device, no such luck. It makes the notification on the PC that a usb has connected then makes the disconnect notification sound and cycles through that till I unplug it.

So is there any saving this thing? Or did I goof so hard its a paper weight?

tl:dr I flashed CleanRom in CWM without knowing that I shouldn't have used CWM. It's boot looping and I can't get it to enter recovery mode on adb. Am I screwed or is there something I can do?

Thanks so much guys, I can't believe I let myself think everything would be peachy when I flashed w/o reading EVERYTHING. Lesson learned.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] danielsaenz:
Happened to me too. You have to relock your boot loader, download a stock RUU for your carrier and return to stock, reunlock then reroot and try it again with TWRP.

I know you guys will be waiting for a jelly bean port for the sensation but when someone has ported it I will make my progress on making the rom really customizable like on previous android versons . I have a lot on my head like therapy and I'm just in high school so I'll make few progress to make bugs disappear in future roms.

Raise my thanks meter if u helped you, thank you :)

That's fine and all.... But did someone asked you to port it? (im just curious) :)

[HTC Sensation] Sean09:
If you never shared or made your work public here why would anyone care if you opt not to do any public work here going forward? It is one thing if you are a recognized contributor, but your statement is like me saying I won't be porting it either, which is irrelevant, as I have no history of any public rom development.
[HTC Sensation] 1heffer:
Yeah, same here. Furthermore, I don't have a sensation and I am not a developer. Just thought you'd like to know.

LOL WHAT THE HECK? First of all, WHO ARE YOU? Second of all, you're asking people to thank you for this post? I smell a thank button whore and a wannabe cyanogen! The fact that you can't even spell "kernal" properly, already has lost my interest in any development you've made. What the heck is "I have a lot on my head like therapy"? You have therapy in your head? Do you have a brain too...?

I'm also totally pissed that you've made all these other members not want to port jelly bean now either!

Just ordered an upgrade and looks like i can get $65 from sprint for my EVO 4g. Just wondering if anyone knows if i need to put the phone back to stock to do that?

[Fascinate General] Stephen.k.spear:
I know many of your are torn between these 2 devices, especially now because of Verizion's instance on making your android experience miserable. This is a quick compare of the 2 devices since I've had both in my possession about 5 days now.

If you're too impatient to read the whole thing The short version is the S# is awesome but get a Nexus.

Build Quality- Winner Nexus

Feels much more solid and the S3 although sleek and smooth feels like it would break or scratch easily. The GN feels like it would be fine in your pocket unprotected and not get damaged by keys or loose change.

Screen - Winner S3

I'm giving this one to the S3. If you didn't have them next to each other you may not notice, but the S3 screen is a bit larger, brighter, and crisper. However the S3 has no bezel to protect the screen what so ever the screens glass blends right into the backing. This feels sexy but I think will be prone to scratching. The nav buttons on the GN are convenient and auto hide when watching movies and playing some games.

Radio - Winner S3

I posted the test results on my twitter but if you haven't seen it the S3 gets better receptions and faster DL speeds almost everywhere I test them together. This may be because I'm running a ported version of JB from the GSM models. Once I flash the new radios I may update this

Cpu - Winner S3

This is actually tough. Im running 1808 mhz on the GN right now and it flies. However, dues to the fact that the S3 will get custom kernels in the near future I see them taking full advantage of this monster processor.

Ram - Winner S3

695 useable on the GN, 1.62 on the S3… obvious.

Camara - Winner S3

The new jelly bean features are cool but the S3 will get those very soon.

Battery - Winner S3

This could be due to the heavy OCing on the GN, but the S3 makes it all day with plenty of usage by my wife.

Software - Nexus

Will continue getting the latest android and fully functional rome since everything we need comes from Google. After the devs tackle the boot loader issue they still have the 4g ril in front of them. Functional AOSP for the S3 is a long time coming.

Longevity - Nexus

Verizon is only obligated to update the S3 for 18 months I would doubt seeing updates after that. The nexus S is getting official JB… I believe the GN will get the K desert and maybe the L also.

Price

Nexus you can pick them up used in very good condition around 300 this will keep your unlimited data as well since you won't use and upgrade.

Overall experience - Nexus

Its the little things that add but but the fact that I have already bricked my GN 5 times (my fault, getting greedy) and haven't had to make a trip to Odin is amazing. EVERYTHING works on the nexus. Its just everything you could want in a device as an android enthusiast / flash junkie.

Ask any questions you may have about either device and I'll answer them for you guys to help make your decision easier.
[Fascinate General] sageDieu:
tl;dr the gs3 has great specs but the nexus is better for the type of stuff we like to do.

I'm getting my GS3 today before 3pm (it's on fedex truck for delivery). It's gonna be hard to replace my perfectly working AOKP Fascinate with unrooted TW :( After reading xda threads about GS3 root it seems that people have lot of problems with rooted stock image. If nothing changes in next couple of days I think I will sell it and buy gnex instead (too late to replace it with verizon without loosing unlimited data). Anyway thanks Stephen for your great work on fascinate and I will be still following you cause my aokp fascinate is going to my wife :)

ps. is there anyway to transfer my apps with data from fascinate to gs3 without root on the gs3?

Steve speaks the truth!

I received my GNexus today and I'm pretty satisfied, it's hard to deny it's perfect for somone who loves to fool around with the nerdy part of android. I compared it with my sisters new GS3 and I'm confident I made the right purchase, no regrets here!

Working on getting Toro building and compiling in the new AOKP-JB repo I would expect to see tests in the next few days for Toro. It will be short many many mods since we are starting from scratch. Once that is booting and working right I'm looking at the Fascinate. That is if JT doesnt beat me to it. IF all that is done I'll see where the SGS3 is but I think my attention will be focused on Toro and Fascinate until the bootloader situation is resolved.

Did anyone see the announcement that Samsung will be selling an unlocked version of the Verizon GS3? It's called the Developer Edition and you have to buy it directly from Samsung for $599. It won't be available thru Verizon.
[Fascinate General] droidstyle:
yep and I think its samsungs way of providing a key to unlock the bootloaders on the non dev devices!!
[Fascinate General] sid8911:
i hope it is but i dont see why samsung couldnt just go against vzw will and make an app to unlock the bootloader for free instead of just making a developer pay an extra $400 for just an unlocked bootloader
[Fascinate General] scarfman4:
That would make more sense, but then this is Verizon we're talking about.
[Fascinate General] xHoLyx:
Verizon always find a way to fxxx with their customers one way or another, not even surprised Samsung is doing that.

Honestly I think Samsung's pretty much done with Verizon telling them what to do. Plus, Verizon wouldn't make that kind of profit without Samsung. Verizon should be the one who should be listening to Samsung.

Well that's my 2 cents.

[Fascinate General] sageDieu:
I highly doubt the unlocked one will help unlock the regular ones. it's possible they could take some stuff from it but the bootloader has to be signed to boot, it isn't like you could just flash the bootloader from the unlocked one and expect it to do anything.
[Fascinate General] Stephen.k.spear:
Yeah Its starting to sound like a hardware check too. I bet Adam will crack it if it is hardware though.
[Fascinate General] k_nivesout:
Nice comparison Steve, I haven't used an SIII yet but from all I've read, your observations seem correct. I was all excited about the SIII coming to Verizon, but of course my upgrade date had to be at the end of this month which would preclude me from being able to upgrade and keep unlimited data. Then I found out the US variants don't have the excellent wolfson 1181 DAC, then I found out about Verizon's locked bootloader and was happy that I didn't jump on the SIII and extend my contract. Fortunately, you can find LTE gnexs for only a bit more than what you'd pay for the SIII on contract. Got one off the classifieds here and am enjoying some sweet buttery JB! GB>ICS was huge, but with project butter and Google now, ICS>JB has made for an awesome upgrade.

Really looking forward to seeing your work on the toro side!
