Had a play with an S3 today briefly and although the hardware is nice, touchwizz is a fucking train wreck. If it were to have CM9 then it would be quite nice.

I'm using a different launcher on my S3, but some of the underneath touchwizz stuff is nice, if a little pointless.

Using one from JIB sandwich, on my Z. little bit buggy, but ICS is so awesome. I'm going to try another one from Andromadus which is supposed to be quite stable.

The one I was using was buggy, laggy, and glitchy, but I've just found beta 13 by Jerl so I'm trying that.

I was also having a Gmail issue where it wasn't syncing despite having sync on. However there was no uninstall option for Gmail so didn't seem to be a way of fixing it.

Well my S3 finally turned up! The blue does look better than the white imho.

Now that I have more than 100meg of storage (old Nexus 1), what are the best apps to get ?

Jerl Beta 13 is good. I think majority of system data backup on Ti backup from CM7 to CM9 beta was incompatible so ended up doing most of a fresh start apart from a few choice apps and SMS backup but liking it a lot.

Battery life also seems to be faring quite well for overclocking from 800 to 1200...

GA2G, anything really ? I've never had this amount of storage so probably missed tons of fun things!

Gotta say the audio on this phone is pretty impressive (with decent headphones). Far better than the Nexus 1

Rather than make personal suggestions to you, just look up the genres that you're interested in, and select the ones that are highest rated. Do check each app before downloading, as some malware does get through onto the Android Play Store.

Ordered a blue S3 from Expansys. "Stock expected 1 day".
I'm not a patient person.
5% (£13) quidco, 1.5% cashback from Amex. = £500 pretty much on the nose.

GTAIII now 69p. At this price you should buy it if you think you'll ever have a phone that will run it.

There's other stuff for cheaps, but this is probably the best deal I've seen

Expansys's delivery estimates are... erratic at best.

First they said my order would be shipped in 3 days, even though the main website said they wouldn't have stock by then, then the ship date dropped by a day, then it went up by 6 days and now it says it's shipped! I don't think my estimated shipping date ever really matched their ETA for stock.

Don't fancy CM7 again though. Going to look at some different ROMs.

Yeah, at first I couldn't see the benefit. As well as meaning you don't have to approve apps, the backup/restore process seems to run at hyperspeeds in comparison to free Ti.

Boom. Android 4.1 Jellybean has been prematurely leaked on Google play. I'd expect it to be released next week at Google I/O.

4.1 is probably the percentage of devices it'll be on this time next year. Huuur.

I installed this Andromadus one last night:

It's fast. It's how I imagine ICS should be, not the laggy monstrosity I installed previously.

A bit the opposite direction but does anyone have any suggestions for an Android phone that's very cheap and has a good battery life (for using at festivals and such like).

Don't care about features but would prefer Android so I can import in contacts, texts, etc. easily. Cheaper the better.

Alternatively, how reliable are the spare batteries from ebay (I have a ZTE Crescent so not the most common of phones over here).

Cheers

My gf has my old HTC Desire, rooted with a Modaco custom ROM.

It's running low on space with her choice of apps (I've removed almost everything) and I find it quite slow now compared to my Sensation.

What does the hive mind suggest would be a good, budget replacement? I'd prefer Sense but obviously consider vanilla Android or something that will take a custom ROM easily. Obviously it has to beat the Desire in specs so not TOO budget..

These are bargains, based on performance and spec, but I haven't checked which are mod-friendly.
