Stock Android Galaxy S4

OK, so i read this bit on GSM arena this morning.

While it's quite unlikely that we'll see a new Nexus phone at this year's Google I/O, which starts later today, Samsung might have a surprise in store – a pure Android version of the Galaxy S4 flagship, a "Google Edition".

This phone will reportedly drop the company's TouchWiz modifications and use the stock AOSP version instead. Now, we should note that this is an unlikely pipedream, but it would be a great option to have.

Except, there are problems – Samsung has put a lot of custom software on the Galaxy S4, but it's there to run a lot of the custom hardware and features. Air View, Air Gestures, IR remote, Adobe RGB screen mode, Multi-window and so on, all rely on Samsung's proprietary software. Many of the camera features too (though Android's stock Photo Sphere will make a good replacement for 360 photo).

The S4 as it is now runs Android 4.2.2, the latest version available as of today, so at least Samsung has that bit covered. Though without the complications of TouchWiz, software upgrades will potentially come a lot more quickly.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Edition will launch in June on T-Mobile, or so say the rumors. We have our fingers crossed, but it's still an unlikely thing to happen.

Now this is all fine and well, but that is not the only reason everyone but americans do not prefer the S3 and S4.

Lg thrive jellybean 4.1.1

Just some screen shots of a jb ROM on my lg thrive.

Android 4.1 JELLY BEAN!! Its finally here!!

Not...
Well, jelly bean is not the massive overhaul of android os we thought it was gona be. Its key features is increasing performance, and not the features.

The main thing that is new is SPEED. Most of the animations have been sped up and enhanced to make it more elegant but yet simple and fast. Also Google has incorporated "Project Butter", which obviously means to make it smooth as butter. Its all under the hood of the os and is not noticible in the UI. But it does speed things up.

The UI is changed not to much, the Notification drawer is improved. It doesnt just NOTIFY you anymore, it lets you know more than just the general thing, it gives you details.

And last but not least, Voice to Text, and Text to Voice, and Info to Voice. So its like google's version of siri, except its not called by a retarded name "siri" haha.

Yes, Finaly its here, and the LG Optimus One Group has started on making a port rom of it already and its only been out for a week or so. The project is named JB-One, in other words, jelly bean optimus one rom.

TATA

PS: dont try the beta of the rom i stated above, it bricks your phone a bit, just a semi brick with big consequences.
