I tried exdialer and indeed it seemed like the best alternative dialer out there but probably my familiarity with sense dialer rejected it :). And let's not forget the full version is something like 3$ I think. I once estimated that in order to get the same feature set as sense one would have to invest at least 50$ in apps, and I actually did get close to that :), I remember getting for that purpose : APW, camera zoom, apex and nova (of course), hd widgets and most likely others I can't remember. Point is Sense offers a great experience out of the box, and there are a lot of people out there that are barely able to use a smartphone that need catering.

Captain Obvious out :)

LE: And adding to the stock vs custom discussion - 4.2 on a tablet is a step backwards in my opinion. The central placement of the buttons makes it harder to operate without streching your fingers, you cannot quickly check time or access settings if you're in a full screen app and the quick settings are a joke

You may be joking but I agree with this. Having 2 PCs at home (one for the kids and wife, the other for me :) ) So what could we do with a tablet? 10" against 30" for movies? Or gaming - my son plays WoW all the time when he is not in school. I doubt he can find a similar pleasure on a tablet, despite of its hardware specs. For reading news while in the WC the phone serves me well :D Well I understand that it can be a good companion for people traveling to work with a bus or subway everyday, but I use my car for that.

So I'm thinking about buying myself either a Nexus 10 or Xperia Tablet Z

Pros for Nexus 10:

- Bigger screen resolution

- Pure Android

- It's Nexus :P

- Latest OS version

- 9000mAh battery

Pros for XTZ:

- It has 3G and 4G

- It's 110g lighter

- It's ~2-2.5mm thinner

Cons for Nexus 10:

- It's as heavy as an iPad

- It's thicker

- It has ONLY Wi-Fi (so I'll have to tether from either my N4 or N10)

- The 2500x1600 resolution is a bit too much...

Cons for XTZ:

- It's more expensive (almost 200$ price difference)

- 4G version comes only with 16GB at the moment

- It has Android 4.1, not even 4.1.1 or 4.1.2

- It'll probably be dropped by Sony in a few months

So what do you guys think?
[Off-topic] hisname:
I would go for Sony. it's much more dev friendly. besides, exynos isn't even good. so what even if it doesn't have the latest version of Android? this is where xda comes in :). if I remembered correctly, project butter doesn't even work on certain exynos devices. even our ailing DS has project butter. I doubt Samsung does this. though this is for exynos 4,i doubt things have improved for exynos 5. besides Qualcomn is the best ;)

[MENTION=4149516]amidabuddha[/MENTION] I read that whenever HTC releases the kernel sources,they would strip out the comments in the source code.is this true?is that the reason why you couldn't find the NFC thingy?because I went to HTC dev website and found out that the wwe file is 404mb big!how would it be possible to find those NFC crap?it would take months.
[Off-topic] PVL_93_RU:
404 MB is ICS source, no?
[Off-topic] amidabuddha:
Guys, this is the RUU :) Kernel source is about 90 MB. And there are plenty of region specific GB releases how could you miss them all?

Speaking about the comments maybe it is true for the files edited by HTC devs but all the rest are as in the mainstream. This should be true for NFC as well. I somewhat understand your enthusiasm buy still think this is a causa perduta so I haven't look into this at all.

Looked in GB source for Europe, there doesn't seem to be anything related to NFC. Now, downloading the India kernel source and will a have a look at it probably tomorrow.

EDIT: The Indian kernel source download is complete. I open the archive, and there is another archive in the archive. (Which is bigger, than the files in EU archive: about 30 MB difference). I am running Linux Mint and when I try to open the second archive, it says, that the archive couldn't be opened. I extract the first archive, and then try to open the second archive, the same message. Tomorrow, I'll try to open the archive with Windows and tell, whether I succeeded or not.

I have the kernel sources, but no RUU, sorry.

After unpacking both archives in Windows successfully, moved both to my USB drive and then to Linux Mint.

Linux didn't show any differences after unpacking (but the files in archives, had a difference of 20 MB, so I think the second archive, which was actually an archive, that was archived second time, was bigger, when not unpacked.)

After browsing the folders, didn't notice any difference either.

So, they're probably the same archives just for other regions and non of them contains NFC parts. :(

I can't act like sgrean. kinda nervous, instead of using singlish, I used phua chu kang chinese malay english. Totally noticeable.
