Anyone here (especially N4 users) tried the Mysterious AOKP BIONIC LINARO builds? Are they faster than regular AOKP or just random words added to the name for no actual reason? Also, how's PA? It seems really popular now.

BTW, just tried Sense 4+ on the S3. It's not really functional, but still, pretty awesome. Shaky156 may start working on fixes but I'm not expecting much :p

Hello, Yep I've been running the PUB builds of AOKP, see link in my signature.. (project unicorn butter), these were originally started by Steve Spears, but since he's stepped down, the builds are being made by bigxie, these contain bionic and KRAIT specific optimisations, which I believe are beginning to be merged into the main AOKP tree.

I've only run AOKP since getting my N4 and can certainly say that the PUB AOKP builds seem slightly faster than normal, whether this is caused by placebo, but faster than stock N4 is lightening.

AND

Nothing exciting? Samsung has showed us a really powerful hardware in SGS4: octa-core CPU with very, very fast GPU (see benchmarks to see difference) and 2GB RAM. These changes are outstanding in comparison to differences between SGS2 vs SGS3 (for me same GPU was a big mistake). Besides, Google released Nexus 4 with their good, reasonable price. In terms of software and functionality nothing noticeably changed, but what can we expect? There is almost everything in our smartphones already. ;)

But, for me, there's no sense with upgrading SGS3 to SGS4, as you said, but there IS a sense with changing Desire S to e.g. Nexus 4 :) (I'm planning to do so)

PS: Samsung should stop releasing devices with ****ty, plastic casing

Tell me, what's the point of having 4/8/12... core processor ON A SMARTPHONE?

Are you gonna do some molecular or black hole calculations on it?

Or maybe model a living 3D object running at 120FPS?

Or maybe launch Crysis 3 on it?

No?

Well, then let me tell you the news:

All this hardware race is pure BS. Apple is going the right way actually in terms of specs - they are not rushing anywhere, and have an actually somewhat similar hardware base across mobile and tablet segments. That's what Android devices lack - a unified spec base. Instead, we got all these 1/2/4/8 core phones and tablets that create a zoo of devices, and that hardens the kids of the app devs. Proves why we don't have 50% of AppStore exclusive apps and games

Vendors should stop rushing towards making the phones into supercomputers and think about innovations and improving other aspects, not just go with "Make the phone for a giant/Put a gazillion cores into the CPU" gimmick

Excuse me, but I thought that N4 was released in 2012, not in 2013?

[Off-topic] Taranis:
For now Android needs at least quite fast dual-core CPU and 768MB of RAM to run really

smoothly

with multitasking. Obviously there's no point with having 4-core (or more) processor, but... for now. We should remember that e.g. octa-core smartphone CPU is not comparable to other architectures and devices (e.g. computer) - real performance is a lot lower. Google and app developers will make use of this 4/8 core processor in future.

So what? It's still quite new phone with great performance.

Nevertheless, for me, manufacturers should focus on battery and casing quality, but - obviously - they will never make a long-lasting phone ("law of the market") and this is sad.

Btw You can even root with a locked bootloader and flash cfws, as long as they dont use different kernels (ea cm10) :p
