Need help choosing my next phone. - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I currently have the s2 and have been flashing this thing left and right I want my life back lol
So basically what I'm asking is what android smartphone is best out of the box I.e. stock rom and all because the GS2 is a beast only under custom ROM so what would be a good phone with a good UI AND ROM, I have my eyes on the htc one x or one x + and note / note 2 , nexus 4 , s3 , ... open to unlocking phones because I'm on Simple mobile if that helps...
Thanks guys some opinions and advices would be much appreciated

If you want something simpler and less customization options. Then you need to decide what you need it for. Do you play a lot of games? If so then maybe an iphone is best for you. If not then maybe windows phone is a better option..
But if I were you I wouldn't give up yet because we are on the verge of getting jelly bean. It's a good time for the Hercules!

Welcome ! If you want a rom with a lot of custom mods , go with AOKP build 30. Its in the development thread . I'm glad you liked your Gnex, and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
All the evos! Dang how many did they produce? You must have millions!
Seriously though, I really like the AOKP Builds. Build 30 just released and its based on the newest release 4.0.4. AOKP also has a ton of extra features!

Yeah finally android is trying to be smooth UI with the nexus like the iPhone UI. For roms aokp is pretty much the way to go. At least that's where to start, then move on from there should you chose to do so.
Well actually I had 5 OG Evos and 3 E3D's

I'm in the same boat as you except I got my nexus 5 days ago and I've already starting creating my own ROMs and hacks. I forgot how great android was.

Hey guys new nexus user

So hey guts I just traded my one x for a gem nexus I am used to rooting and unlocking boot loaders and such I just don't know where to start and idk if this phone has an unlocked boot loader or if it already rooted can someone please tell Me how to check and what to do
I unlocked the boot loader on my one x and I bet nothing is harder than that BTW it was the s4 version
I am having a relapse from being able to flash Roms
There are so many here there were like none on the one x I just wanna know something that has the vest battery life and I know this question is redundant and it ends up coming to usage but I did so much research on the one x can someone please cut me some slack and point me on which ROM and kernel combo would give me the best battery and if the ROM is jb which I obviously prefer thNkyou
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
if on booting on the first screen the lock is unlocked means the bootloader is unlocked, head over to the dev section and use the toolkit in case u need it ..
If u have fast boot and adb just terminal fastboot OEM unlock super easy.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
First of all, when you're booting and see the Google logo, look at the bottom of it and see if you see any unlock sign (lock that is unlocked)
For ROM, it's really your choice. I personally am in love with aokp black bean ROM, but battery is pretty average.
For kernel, trinity is best in my opinion. Not only it has great battery life, if you buy tool app from play store, it gives you do many customization that you need

[REQUEST] Samsung S III Keyboard

I have been browsing around for a ported keyboard from the S III for my SP GNEX and have not had any luck. Has anyone else seen one or can this be ported over? I love the style and all the options it has on the S III. Thanks for the help!!
BUMP for visability... Hoping someone with knowledge will see this. There is some interest as this has been viewed many times.
bump just because i love trying new things and having options

It may not be possible but I cannot question that. Anyway like said above, I'm in for trying new things too.
Bump means or basically is letting people get aware of this topic by bumping it to the front/top. Its fine to do once every couple hours or so many over day by one person. Although if others help bump it makes it equally easier.

Threads are displayed in the forum by most recent. So whenever someone replies the thread goes back to the top of the thread list. So a "bump" back to the top.
I love keyboards and thus I support this. Samsung really integrates their stuff together like Sense... so I don't think its as easy as ripping the apk. Typically with past HTC IME keyboards had to be flashed through recovery to include all the proper files and placement.

I don't know much about these stuff, but can't somebody with galaxy s3 can just take out the apk of the keyboard?

Why Samsung keyboard ? Samsung English keyboard is really ****ty which could not do simple typo correction. The best was consistently lousy from galaxy s2 to galaxy s3 ...

I've been looking everywhere for an S3 keyboard port. Was hoping it was in the S3 Touchwiz addon pack, but see barely any mention of it.
I love the "handwrite" feature built in .. whether I'd use it or not
Madphone, the maker of the S3 addon port would probably be the best candidate to ask about this-- if he reads this or if anyone wants to hit him up.
There was actually a huge improvement from the SII & SIII keyboards.
I am an avid swype user but Samsung has integrated a swype like function into the keyboard. Also the handwrite feature is something I'd like to have.
Thanks for the input everyone. Hopefully we can keep this near the top and get this going!

What is the best rom for my note 2

Helo, can someone tell my what is the best rom for the Samsung galaxy note 2?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
i think you need to stipulate what you are looking for from your rom / phone.
stock look (how samsung want it to look and behave) , android look ( how google made it to look and behave),
3rd party interface made by someone here.
stability or cutting edge/new tweaks that may have bugs but be the newest of the new...
That mainly comes to down to your preferences. If you want the stock look and want to preserve s-pen functionalities and Samsung features, then I'd recommend Android revolution HD.

The best ROM for you is the one that ticks all your boxes and serves your needs, so get flashing and find out.
I'm also interested in a ROM that emulates the google feel, any tips?

Hi, I am following the forum since i first bought my first android device the Note 2(n7100) on the day of its launch, i was earlier afraid of rooting with the risks involved.
But i have just rooted the phone yesterday, and flashed with ROOTBOX rom with seperate GAPPS installation.
though i am in absolute awe of the stock JB ROM, but still feel need for SPen apps, also i do feel that the camera quality has gone down, with images coming a lot more grainy even indoors in proper lighting.
I am also looking for a ROM with 4.2.1 JB but dont want to compromise on Camera Quality, i have read that there are few apps which help in SPen compatibility etc.
.
Did you try the roms suggested by experts, wht are your thoughts about them.
Anyways, sorry for the long post, its my first one, so all the excitement and amazement of flashing is keeping my typing.

The best one would be the one with the best battery life, performance small size, no bloat, a ton ofnew functions, great developer support and kept up to date all the time.

omega rom rocks
I'm also searching for the best ROM. I'm using omega currently but somehow it is battery drain for me, it's battery life can't even last for one day with 3g and heavily use in camera, facebook and whatsapp. I was using another called Mr. Luong. This rom is able to provide a good battery life which can last for more than one day. The problem I change is because the laggy problem and unstable under multi windows. Anyway, I'm still expecting omega can release a better version, v12. I'm still waiting for it
Wanam2.8 for simplicity and closest to Samsung.
Phoenix6.5 for beauty.

I'm looking for a ROM that has s-pen and multi-screen features, but at the same time, improves performance and can be overclocked/underclocked. Thanks guys
Here you go.

Uv and oc are kernel related.
All the roms that say dll7 or dma3 or dma5 or dma6 dmb4 etc all support s pen and features
Also look into the description.
Anything that says based on samsung firmware has all s pen features.

I think the title should have been why don't we see leaked roms like S3
"patience is a virtue"
Simple: Note 2 Rom is in fact an s3 rom with S-Pen related apps and drivers added. So developers will tune s3 first and then will adapter that to n2, so we will see our rom very soon after the s3 is ready

And S3 is more mainstream and popular than Note II, obviously.
Maybe they are making for us perfect 280dpi rom? 320dpi for note 2 is just ridiculous.

Because the Israeli tester from Pelephone that leaks the firmwares is testing Galaxy S3's firmwares..
