I own the evo but hell I'll admit even the s2 is smoother then this running gingerbread

I owned the epic touch for a few months and running stock gingerbread there was never a jitter ....very similar to the s3... Samsung is definitely skilled at optimization
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] codexv:
Seriously read my posts, I have both. This is from first hand experience. Are you 12 years old, "butthole"? geez
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
Okay but in a month the EVO's performance will be at least equalized with the S3. We just need Sense gone. You make it sound like the EVO will never be equal or surpass the S3. This is simply not true.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] slowfncar:
Build quality,camera quality,screen quality > ram,picture in picture and uh ,ram...

What I do not like about the evo

Sense runs hard straight from the adreno 225 slowing down performance and eating ram,honestly though it keeps everything moving at fluid vivid action,its just opening other big apps can take a toll on ram and/or videoperformance while sense is running in the background. The s3 definitely has a little bit faster UI,although not as usable as sense.

No jellybean yet!!

What I do not like about the galaxy s 3

I own a lot of high quality tools and such and I just can't stand looking at this plastic high end device sitting next to other expensive items made from metal.

The screen! Very saturated even when toned down from the menu,I mean cmon the evo lte screen is a little over saturated now but damn the s3 makes colors burn my eyeballs. When playing really high quality Bluray rips (.mkv) I notice the smoothness in the evo screen, kinda like a 60hz v 120hz thing. I can really notice it during fast action the evo doesn't blur when Luke Skywalker plays with his weapons it holds sharpness great ,low refresh rates hurt my eyes and I hope a software update can fix that for galaxy s3 users.

What I do not like about both devices

Both believe it or not always end up below 200mb Free ram! I bought the device thinking I would see a lot of free ram under heavy use. Wrong

the galaxy s3 aswell as the evo lte both drop below 200mb free ram. Maybe the s3 needs jellybean to take advantage of 2gb?

The end result for me is the evo LTE , I can root change to aosp add whatever I want and still have a nice screen,nice camera and quality hardware. A software update can't give the s3 build quality,a good imaging camera and a good screen. It's about hardware potential

I would suggest EVOLVE! Its better supported by devs, only downfall is if u are a power fiend there's no removable battery. And the camera is better in my opinion
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
Better supported by devs?

Is this guy serious right now?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Phutt89:
Same here saw it, played with it, and if it wasn't attached to the security chord, I would have thrown it in the trash. But I still miss my og evo, this is a good replacement, just have to be patient and wait for the devs to figure everything out

Sent from my EVO
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tim.d:
I've had four samsung epics (replacements, some new from sprint, some from insurance), and on all of them their build quality was terrible. At first, all the dev's were on the HTC ship, but in the last year samsung development has really picked up. My best friend has the S3 (he had a S1 before as well), and it's ironic how the s3 seems to have more development going on than the htc. But after playing with his, and then both phones at the store, I couldn't get over how much better the evo felt in my hands. The S3's plastic is super slippery (slipped out of my hands three times at the store), but the metal of the htc is just so damn rewarding. I'll miss having a removable battery, and while I'm not totally sold on Sense, I am absolutely positive I made the right choice for me in picking up the evo.

Oh, and no camera button? wtf samsung. Plus I think the blue and white color options are pretty gay, phones should be black.

On the dev front, I would expect some serious progress to be made in a couple months after more phones have been sold, and people get JB all figured out (CM10->Akop!!!!)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] woody296:
The majority of people will put either of these phones in a case (evolte bends, s3 more fragile than iphone4) so how it feels in your hand really won't be how it's going to feel in your hand. Maybe you have a lot of extra money to pay Asurion, most of us don't.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chulo12:
Amen. You said it best. Both phones are great. But I find the s3 similar to the s2. The s2 actually felt like a better build quality. When dealing with the EVO, I feel like like I'm using a quality device, unlike the s3. But at the end of the day, both are great. It's based on preference.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] morfinx:
According to this thread, the EVO is really easy to bend?

only 200mb of ram free? so what? that means android is working properly. that is why there is no lag

---------- Post added at 06:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:16 PM ----------

better support? its been out longer. and it doesn't even have nightles yet
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] the noan:
Build quality and screen go to the evo, but as far as lte connection I'd say the s3. My mom and a coworker have constant lte connections while my evo struggles to find it. I might be jumping ship but leaving this camera and screen behind for an lte connection I wont use terribly often would be stupid
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] slowfncar:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AB33:
After spending time with the GS3 and my EvoLTE and watching comparison videos this is what I see:

Screen: Evo

Sound: Evo

Overlay (TW vs. Sense): Evo

Camera: Evo

Battery Life: Evo

Quadrant/AnTu Tests: Evo

Multitasking: SG3 (Sense reboots from time to time)

Removable Battery: SG3

Extra Software: SG3

RAM: SG3

HTC has historically been better with updates when compared to Samsung. For example the Evo and 3D received waaay more updates than the Epic and Epic Touch.

I may switch to another carrier (Sprint keeps inching up the bill and I get discounts with VZW and TMO also) or use one of my other upgrades for a line that has the OG Evo and eventually go to the GS3, the battery ability may be enough to sway me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nicholaaaas:
"that is why there is no lag"

With the 2 gigs being almost completely used. Tons of apps can run in the memory and there is no lag accessing them.

"So when I'm running aosp with 600+ mb free..."

Now you're saying something total different from what you said before. But if that really is the case and you are not trying to just make up numbers to try and undermine my statement I would say if you are using a phone with 1gb of ram and we all know that 320mb are already claimed. That means all the apps you are running are only using 80mb. So either you are using some kind of crazy task killer, or you have like 3 apps total installed on your phone. Nice try buddy
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] woody296:
sprint epic touch has official ics update, htc evo 3d no official ics yet maybe never, so much for who updates sooner. Both are very poor when it comes to updates.:(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] XTRoRDiNAiRE:
When I choose a phone one of the main things I look at now a days is the exterior design because I'll be flashing different roms when they become available for the device.

I think the sg3 looks a bit plasticy and I'm just not a fan of the display. I feel sg3 wouldn't last as long as an evo

I'll take a naked evo over a sg3 anytime :)

I just hope we get more devs on this phone soon cause I'm ready for some other roms
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] michael.stollaire:
A 1:1 comparison of the two handsets from a hardware comparison perspective is quite telling, regarding these two top tier phones. Also, as others said, the plastic nature of the Samsung cheapens it. Both of these factors cannot be improved by quicker OTA updates, getting Jelly Bean sooner, etc.

Hardware is the foundation that software builds upon, and Samsung's offering falls flat on its face there, compared to the Evo 4G LTE.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] woody296:
Please show a comparison on hardware that makes the evolte so much better than the s3? Are they not actually quite close?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nicholaaaas:

I'm pretty sure he was talking about build quality
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TravisBean:
Been comparing both models, and one major thing which I've noticed is that call/voice quality is much much better on the EVO 4G LTE. (anybody else notice this ??) I think that will sway me towards the EVO. Phone first, portable internet accesss device second.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cajones42:
Put both phones on auto brightness and place them side by side. If u still like the s3 after the test, its the phone for you. As for performance, they are the same for most people in my opinion. I would have been happy to keep my S3, just not as happy as keeping my evo lte.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] glenng82:
Hey I went with the S3 and I absolutely love it! Great phone, easy to root and I think pretty durable. Now I'll admit that I didn't like the colors of the screen at first, but they grow on you. Gets good battery life around 8-12 hours when I use and abuse it lol, now with very minimal usage I'd say about a day of life.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Frank_Murphy:
I went with the EVO because the screen is better, and I don't regret the decision. Side-by-side, you can definitely tell that the EVO has a higher pixel density and that the S3 has a lower quality pentile display. The advantage of the S3 is that it has 2GB of RAM to the EVO's 1GB, but I have yet to run into memory issues on my EVO even under heavy use.

One good reason why you might want to go with the S3 is that it's available on all four major US carriers. The EVO 4G LTE is only on Sprint (though its cousin the One X is on AT&T). If you don't like Sprint or you need to be on a carrier that has LTE in your area, then go with the S3.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] morfinx:
This is the OP. I went with the GS3. See reason why:

I now have 3 new EVO LTE cases and a 4 pack screen protector that I can't use. Anyone want them for cheap?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] joefx13:
Ill take them. Lol. Pm me
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rubyknight:
This is wrong fyi... The fact that the gs3 is on all 4 carriers doesn't make it work on all 4. They have different radios, and the At&t and Tmobile are gsm where Sprint and Verizon are cdma I believe. Same reason the galaxy nexus has specific versions for Verizon and Sprint.

[LG Thrill 4G] cmarriner82:
Just a little update:

Didn't think there was so much to a UI on Android, but apparently there is like a thousand little images running around inside the two APK's. Might have jumped in WAY over my head here, but I am going to go as fast as I can. Learning as I go. I got a mock-up of what I want so far. Pure White theme, looked a little... ick... So I went with inspiration from other things, namely my desktop PC's UI. I just need to find the right Action Bar Icons... Faenza, which I had originally wanted to go with doesn't go well with the Action Bar. So I am looking around for icons that will look good on a white background and will also fit what I originally had imagined.

So far the mock-up is this:

Does anyone know of an XML editor that can read the SystemUI XML files as well as the Framework-res XML files? Dreamweaver CS6, Notepad, Wordpad and Microsoft Office Word 2010 can't seem to read them properly and all I get is garbled text.
[LG Thrill 4G] chub-chub:
are the new scripts already installed on the ROM or do we have to wait for an update?
[LG Thrill 4G] Trekfan422991:
that means that you didnt properly decompile the apks... if you decompile the apks with apktool then the xml will be clear ...
[LG Thrill 4G] cmarriner82:
And APKTool, according to Google is only for *nix users.

Edit: Never-mind, found the Windows installer. It's just in a tar.bz2 extension, which is a *nix extension. My bad.

Did you restore your contacts and/or calendars through titanium backup? I used to have the force close all the time until I started letting Google just sync itself.

Also, about the ui from the older roms... It may be possible for the status bar and maybe some other aspects by using or making a theme with uotkitchen. I'm not sure if it changes more than just what you can edit on the uotkitchen after you flash it onto your device but it will help retain some aspects of the ui.

[LG Thrill 4G] bigfoot.kom:
Im sure you will get it. It took me 3 trys after i got the text from lg that gingerbread was available. Did you back up your factory froyo? If so reinstal that before you try to upgrade from lg. Re-Download all the lg software from thier update sight, it only takes a couple of minutes, and dont skip any steps. Restart your comp after driver download. Then proceed. If that doesnt work try a different usb port. Hope this helps.
