[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
ebay and kijiji are the only sources I'm familiar with.

The GS2 is massively popular so despite its age it's going to be expensive even used.

If you say you're more of an iPhone type of guy, I guess the G2X will fit your needs if you don't plan to flash custom ROMs.

As for ICS/JB - it's more than just NFC, it's a hardware-accelerated interface that makes scrolling silky smooth compared to GB, as well as general refinements in the UI such as the pull down notifications for SMS and the really nice lockscreen (the CM10 one at least). The hardware acceleration is the biggest deal here though.

Additionally, if you aren't the custom ROM type of guy and want simplicity, I'd suggest taking a look at Windows Phone - it's closer to iOS than to Android in that it's relatively locked down and there's hardware consistency across all handsets, but it's still considerably more flexible than iOS, i.e. you can (easily) get your media off the phone after you put it on!

Im not talk why and why, so my decision would be a SGSII... thank you xD
[LG Optimus 2x] Ximo F. Verde:
sgs2 with absolutely no doubt mate. the only thing id be thinking about is the s-amoled display (i kinda have a thing for lcds), but since ull be using it for less than a year i see little chance of getting any ghost effects on the display (which doesnt happen to everyone anyway). ive seen a sgs2 running ics (not even jb which is right around the corner) and i was blown away.
[LG Optimus 2x] dorwoo:
Samsung is for girls,be a man and get a O2x :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Ximo F. Verde:
absolutely right. women being smarter n more practical would obviously go for a trouble free device. men, being ehhmm men, would go for the o2x so they can spend 100's of hours to fix all bugs, modify roms/kernels, overclock and then happily show off to their friends a phone that runs (almost) as it should in the 1st place :)
[LG Optimus 2x] screamline458:
Oh I flash a lot on my Optimus1 but I'm tired of it. Regardless of what android devices I get, I'll flash something to get rid of any bloat and give myself root access to do link2sd. I can't get the O2X cause I am on T-mobile so it would be the G2X I guess. I just want to get the phone and play with it now.

I know all about Windows OS. I would but some of the games/apps I like to use arent on it yet. If apps came out within a small time period on iOS, Windows and Android, then i would consider it more but not just yet. Only thing really drawing me to windows is the awesome camera on the Nokia 920, I think.

Guess I'll try to hunt a SGS2 on craigslist or Ebay for now.Just real tired of this 600Mhz phone with 180mb for apps. LAME!
[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
If you are willing to save a little more, I'd suggest looking at either the Galaxy Nexus (used) or the Nexus 4 (new, $300). Both are pentaband phones so they support T-Mobile and most major GSM carriers. And they are pure Android, no carrier apps or stupid skins, so if all you want to do is get rid of bloat, it's really unnecessary to flash custom ROMs onto those models. In fact, the reason I got interested in CyanogenMod at first (back in 2011 with a HTC Desire Z) was that I really wanted a Nexus experience, and all the extra customization features were just a bonus.
[LG Optimus 2x] screamline458:
Yes sir, I looked for the Galaxy Nexus and it's about the same price. and the N4, well its sold out now and probably will be next time, by the time I did buy one and it shipped, I'd get my phone in June. Pff nah. I'll try to keep looking for the s2 or an older nexus. Do you think it's stupid to resign? I want to keep myself off contract so I can go where ever in the later part of the year, be it ATT or Something else. I'm so confused :confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
I don't know a lot of phones that support AWS 1700, but one provider in my country has a fairly healthy listing:

http://shop.windmobile.ca/ProductCatalog/Handsets/

(ignore the prices there, they're bound to be inflated over what you can get stateside or on ebay - dock off at least $200 as an initial estimate).

That might introduce you to some more options, hope it helps.
[LG Optimus 2x] justforgot:
Go with s2. You get more development there.
[LG Optimus 2x] screamline458:
thanks guys. This can be deleted now. I'm in the forum general now
[LG Optimus 2x] SubZero.it:
Leave the G2X where it is. No support.

I'd rather go a cheap and by a O2X, it's really supported by the community and it's a lot of fun :D
[LG Optimus 2x] iblizdjava:
I must say GS2 its better dude,. Not a fanboys..
[LG Optimus 2x] screamline458:
What do you think about the Sensation 4g? I can get it for under 200 unlike the GS2 which is upwards of 250 and higher.
[LG Optimus 2x] kt-Froggy:
I just bought myself a SGS2, and it's great. Overall, I like it more than P990. Two things that are definitely better on O2X, though: build quality (it feels much more solid than Sammy), and the screen (IPS LCD is a clear winner against SAMOLED, according to what my eyes are telling me). If I could find a phone like SGS2 with a screen like P990, it would be freakin' perfect.
[LG Optimus 2x] screamline458:
Where did you get it? was it expensive?
[LG Optimus 2x] kt-Froggy:
Craigslist, as usual... :) $140 -- not bad at all for this phone, IMO. Great shape, everything's working, but the battery needs a replacement in near future.
[LG Optimus 2x] screamline458:
that's lucky. None are that low around me
[LG Optimus 2x] kt-Froggy:
It was definitely cheaper than average, I agree. However, you can find something for a decent price if you look for it. Usually, in our area SGS2's are selling for approx. $250, give or take. But sometimes I can see them as low as $120, especially with little problems that either don't matter or are easy to fix. I typically set a price limit in CL search, so it a) narrows down the results, and b) keeps me within my budget by hiding some tempting "just a bit more" offers. :) If you spend time searching, you can find some great deals -- for example, previously I bought my P990 for only $80, and I think I should now be able to sell it to fully cover my expense for SGS2...
[LG Optimus 2x] screamline458:
All I find are sprint galaxies.
[LG Optimus 2x] johnkabou:
I have S2, O2x and G2x. S2 all the way. Much better quality and support. O2X could be very good but has a lot of issues. You'll regret it bigtime.

As for the G2X not in million years. Its an 'O2X' with very few XDA support. Go and check the thread if you like. More dead than AMC's series :D

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterex567:
Usually partitions on the s3 for the sdcard are labelled /sdcard0

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajrennie_GNex12:
Hey, I'm considering getting the Note II very soon, and even if this turns out to not be possible, I'll probably still pick it up as it's a great looking device. It's between this and the Nexus 4. This phone has the edge right now. But the reason I love the Nexus 4 so much, I had the Galaxy Nexus before I broke it, is the Stock Android experience, that pure, clean, feeling. Now I know that it would be possible to flash a stock 4.1/4.2 Jelly Bean ROM onto the Note II not a problem but then my worry is that the S-Pen features and the Split Screen Features and the other major Note II selling points like the Notepad and Sidebar feature would no longer be there which kind of just makes the phone a big Nexus, which I don't see the point of really. So, if someone could point me to a forum post that shows me how to do this, or tell me how if you know yourself you'll definitely have sold the phone to me for sure.

SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE II STOCK ANDROID JELLY BEAN (4.1/4.2) ROM WITH SOME TOUCHWIZ FEATURES (S-Pen, Split-Screen, Sidebar, etc)

***** EDIT *****​

I was thinking, couldn't I just use Nova Launcher or something similar to get the stock Android Jelly Bean FEEL and LOOK and still have all of the TouchWiz features that I don't want to lose? If anyone can confirm this, or suggest another Launcher, comment please:) I'm still willing to Root if it means I can do anything to get as close to stock Jelly Bean without losing those amazing Note II features.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DubelBoom:
There is a rom based on stock with all aosp apps for the S2, and there is MIUI based on stock for the Note 2 which includes all those features, so it is possible, but not available...

I'm also waiting for something like that.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajrennie_GNex12:
Thanks, is it still worth the Root then? To run root-only-apps? Because it seems pointless putting a Stock 4.2 ROM on the Note II if it means losing all the cool things the Note II can do with all that screen! I'll keep my eye's open for a ROM like this then!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giuvilas:
My advise is to keep the original version by Samsung charging on a launcher like nova (as you mentioned) or even the original launcher of 4.2 jb (it was exported from nexus 4..I tried it personally and it was fast like a rocket)..

In this way you have a super stable rom with the original pure Google launcher..

..waiting maybe for a custom with those features. I think in the meantime is the best solution
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laynee1:
Can you give us that 4.2 launcher ? :D
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giuvilas:
not sure if i can post links..but google for sure can give you a big help on this ;)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] android88:
You said you couldn't describe why it isn't working. Can you tell us if it loads? Does video chat work? Does it say everyone is offline even though they aren't (signal bars will be white instead of blue. Blue means you are connected to Google's servers.) Stuff like that so we can get an idea of what's not working.

I have a ton of games in my nexus 7 that I want to move over to my S3, but I'm having trouble getting it to work. Has anyone been able to do this?

I've tried using DataSync from the play store, but doesn't work that well or the apps crash when I run them on the new phone. I tried copying the files from titanium backup in windows but I either did it wrong or it doesn't work.

The nexus 7 is on 4.2 though. Perhaps that's why it isn't working? Is there any way to sync app data between 2 devices so that I can play the same game on both?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MaartenXDA:
Try copying the files over from titanium backup, before restoring, just install the app trough play store, and then use titanium backup to just restore the DATA, don't restore the app itself.

do you happen to know of any way to reliably sync the app data so that I don't have to keep doing this every time I play on a different device?

Sorry, no, I just always used this method.

I don't even own the GS3, but just came across this. I can't test any methods, you'll just have to search.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nvertigo:
Came back to post the solution in case anyone has the same problem. The new, free DataSync Beta on the play store lets you seamlessly sync apps between two devices. There is a paid addon that will autosync for you as well. This has worked perfectly so far between my GS3 and nexus 7.

To sync my games, I downloaded them from play store on my new device first, and then synced with the app. It even lets you make lists to sync so all your games will sync with just one press :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jarredw:
If you pay the few dollars for the pro version of TB then you can enable dropbox. Once it is enabled you can assign certain apps a label and then sync only those under that label to dropbox. Do this for all devices and whenever you want to continue on a diff device just hit the sync button on TB and restore the data. Just be sure to sync any progress on one device to dropbox before you sync the other one. It sounds like a lot but it only takes seconds to sync from one device, open up TB on the other and then import just the data. It has worked for me

If the phone cannot detect as a drive, photo recovery software cannot scanning your phone. Here is a data recovery for android witch is focus on android phone, you can try it to see if it can detect your phone. dr-fone.com/android-data-recovery

Photos always stored in CF card in your phone, can you take it out and connect it your you computer with a card reader? if you can do this, the cf card can read as a drive on your computer.

So a while back the Virtuous Team put out a couple Holo inspired themes under the "Holo Light" branding, one for the qHD hos and one of the HD hox, the qHD one never saw an update after its initial release in August, the HD variant has been updated to work on JB/4+ roms.

I don't really mess with touchwiz so I wouldn't really know. All I can say is to make a backup after you make a ROM like that and test it..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
You would need to tranfer the whole systemui and tw frameworks over to the new rom. If you wanted the theme from the one without then you need to decompile both replace all the images and theme elements then recompile before moving them to the new rom
