People what are you're opinions ?
Basically iPad owners always talk about the system and software being smooth,which is probably true, and how Android maybe slightly laggy, well,could the problem lie in widgets?
Meaning without them would android run any smoother, because once you put say 2 or 3 widgets on one screen,it lags,just wanted your opinions thanks.

I din find any lag on mine. I have all the 6 or 7 homescreens full of widgets. In JB, the lag has been drastically reduced! (ics being the most laggy)

Yeh definitely much smoother, than ICS, ditching widgets would surely save ram loads wouldn't it?

Since I went to JB lag and sense reloads are not near as bad, but I can't seem to get friendstream to work.

Locked bootloader
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Itll get rooted, but bootloader is locked. With the recent breakthroughs on the Droid X with second init and getting CM7 working, count on aosp working at some point on the Photon also. Motorola may even unlock a few months down the road since they promised no more locked bootloaders.
Like the look and nice specs but I only buy Nexus devices. To buy any other android phone other than a Nexus would be stupid.
I think it is nice, but, I genuinely love my NS4G and I haven't even rooted and started flashing yet.

Yea dont blame you. I personally like Motorola and think itll be the best all around option sprint will see this year. Best battery and radio, guaranteed.

If it gets unlocked, I'll jump on it. Tegra 2 processors are second to none with their 3D capabilities. I'm skeptical about battery life and the qHD display. The only phone I'm interested other than this is the SGS2 but that's not going to be out until fall according to our samsung rep.

How would that be stupid? Other manufactures add functionality that should be included in stock android already but isn't. Unless you're stuck on the "ill get updates first wagon".

That's a matter of opinion and on the development device you have the source to add to if you wish : D not hating on you but most run to the nexus line to escape what the carrier added.
The proton is ugly imo lol, can't imagine comfort holding that thing also why are all these dual cores only pushing one gig?

I had a flashback when I seen it I couldn't place it but I got it, the motorola i1 presumably one of the worst phones produced with android. It featured iden push to talk and that was the only selling point, shipped with 1.5 android when froyo was out, the list goes on. the design is a perfect match as far as the shape. Visit this link

load the flash video and check picture 2 and the last one out. Very bulky

Off topic but which do you prefer more, sense or motoblur. I used sense 3.0 and I totally hated it, it felt like the UI was bogging down the hardware. I never tired blur, i know some people have a thing against it but don't know why...

Hello all,
I am relatively new to this forum, but have been flashing ROMs on my HTC desire for a few months now.. I think what I most want from Ice cream Sandwich is some sort of backward compatibility (to a small extent) in order to address the problem of fragmentation for developers. I would also like to see it made simpler, for the normal person to use it comfortably (this is one of the edges iOS has over android.
Thanks
Wizzo
I would like better/true multitasking packed with a better app manager to see what apps are running. Also, better dual core management to save battery

I am among those who felt the stock gingerbread browser was a disgrace. And I will admit that after using the 4.0.1 ICS roms I was worried that Google wouldn't/couldn't deliver smooth performance in the browser.
Well, they have absolutely succeeded, and I want to go on record saying thanks.
In conclusion, I recommend that everyone try out No Wallpaper. Also, the opposite of "complaints" is "plaudits."

Yup very smooth browser gingerbread was a rush job and IMO wasn't really innovating ice cream is great all around and bring whole new experience to our ns

im trading my evo 4g into sprint for a nexus s and i want to run ICS on it but with the current state of ICS on the evo im a little weary. how is ICS running on the ns? can i run graphic intensive apps like FPse and other "higher" end games? are there any major issues i should know about? thanks in advance!
tried fifa 12 but the grass was all purple and **** but still playable on stock without oc. duno whether there is a fix for this.
fpse no problems
ICS on the EVO sucks big time. You'll be amazed at it on the Nexus S, especially since its made by Google.

Hey guys, I recently went into Verizon and played with the galaxy nexus. Its a nice phone, but what's so fantastic about ICS? I thought it was too dark, and really slow (at least the display model was). I've used sky-ics rom and I had to go back to StockMod.
So why exactly does everyone want it and ask about it? Personally I prefer touchwiz, its a lot more intuitive. The biggest difference I saw was the widgets displayed in the launched and the recent app tray thing. But its not like a game changer.
I don't mean to offend anyone, but just curious.

I came to the SkyRocket from the Inspire recently and the last ROM I used on it was an ICS ROM. Chrome beta alone makes it well worth it not to mention its the latest and greatest and we can't have it!

the main reason i want ICS is that its a whole UI overhaul. it looks smooth and fancy. lol. i had ICS on my captivate and LOVED it. i cant wait to have ICS on my skyrocket
ICS is built for dual core.
ICS is amazing

ICS is great. I love it on my xoom. Chrome beta is also worthwhile, much better than the stock browser. Also lots of little things make me want ICS.
I mean why not, having gingerbread is to mainstream.
