Grab it if it's only $200.
That's actually a good price for a GS4G. It doesn't have much development yet, but it will as soon as Krylon has a working CWM for it.
At this point, and with you having 2 vibrants, there really is no point in dropping the 200 on a Galaxy S 4G. Yes, they have root, but almost developers other than Krylon are supporting it and no Vibrant roms, i9000, or any other Galaxy S series roms work on it. So basically, you are stucked with a rooted stock 2.2.1.
And to be truthful, I doubt any other developers will support it, seeing as though many have already bought the G2X or are waiting on other dual core devices.
How is the stock rom? I mean is it laggy like my 3g?

It is Android 2.2.1 so it is better than the stock Vibrant. But with a custom rom the Vibrant 3g is faster, especially on CM7.

I do not understand why people in this forum are going crazy over the mytouch 4g. If you are going to root both devices anyways, and install a custom rom, you do realize that the two devices are basically the same right? My Vibrant on CM7 plus an otterbox commuter feels solid and runs like a dream.

Since the mytouch 4g is a beast phone it can overclock crazy and has amazing development!

I have one running trigger and the other bionix v 1.3.1. How is cm7? On their website they said vibrant not supported, that's why I am skeptical about flashing it. Is it problem free?

Honestly, I would buy the GS4G for $200 and sell one of my Vibrants. You should be able to get $200 for your 3G Vibrant if it is in good condition. That way, you have a GS4G and GS3G, without an end cost. If nothing else, just buy the GS4G and turn around and sell it. You should be able to make at least $100 on it assuming it is like new. So, either way, buy it. Just my two cents.
dont buy it, it dont even have internal memory, i rooted one and odin to kc1 nd tried to add the lockscreens and power menu options from whitehawks and it said there was no space and i had to odin again
Yikes! Just got my brand New Galaxy Tab last Tuesday and now I've been informed that there is a Note 10.1 around the corner.
The "only" difference I've seen so far is that it will pack a 1.4 processor, stock ICS, and external sd card slot.
Since I got this one in Costco is returnable. However, I think the Note will start @ $500 (maybe more...)
I dunno... You guys think is worth the wait?
It's just that I have a SGS2 and is sooo much faster than this Tab. Will flashing a custom ROM to this tab make a difference in speed?
Thank you for taking my question.

You missed the whole point huh, the pressure sensitive stylus?
Value is a subjective thing though, only you know what you need out of the device. Going with the note will surely mean a longer wait for development of custom ROMs. If the added features make up for that as well as the delay between launch and shipment then go for it.
Me personally i find the idea of the stylus intriguing but then the ram limitation (the 1gb of ram, not sure if this is an Android system restriction at this time but I'm guessing so) is cause for pause for me. We all look at lag critically and i always wonder how additional system ram would improve that. If increasing it on a standard PC improves performance to a degree then surely on a tablet it would as well. Of course that would add additional cost but I'm sure many would spring for premium models with more memory. I bring up this issue because of Samsung partnering with adobe on the inclusion of Photoshop touch with the note. Moving towards marketing tablets for graphic production using the stylus needs to come along with the ability to do it well without the lag and unresponsiveness shown in the demos. Surely there are driver optimizations that can help yes but anyone who uses Photoshop regularly to do production knows that ram is hugely important.
Baby steps though, the note is certainly a welcome addition to the tablet arena. If an LTE one comes out in the next year is certainly consider it.

Return it and keep saving to get the galaxy note 10.1. I read a couple weeks back they were holding of release til june to switch out the dual core processor for a quad core processor. I think it would be worth returning any tablet to get the galaxy note 10.1 if this rumor is true.

If this rumor is true I will crap my pants
id wait if i was in your position.. really. return that **** and use your desktop or laptop till it comes out, i wish i would have.
It has been upgraded to quad core 1.2 ghz so return your tab and get the note 10.1

COMING from the gnex, it had many problems related to screen banding, bad colors, usb charging,power button issues.
are there any known things that i shoud check for when purchasing the phone？
plz list as many as possible

First of all,: have seen my brothers galaxy nexus and I haven't notice any of the problems you mentioned.
Secondly, No Galaxy Note doesn't have much of hardware issue other than some people complaining about black corners.
Just bad part with the Note for now is Gingerbread and Touxhwiz.
And after a week of use, with perfect size of device you won't even like to look at any small devices.

A lot of people seem to have varying problems on xda. Some people complain of laggy screens and low quadrant scores, so you might want to run a quadrant and make sure it exceeds 3000.
Another issue is the black clipping/crush some people are experiencing with dark wallpapers and videos. Run this YouTube video to test for this problem:

Black crush is when very dark images transitioning to lighter darks or other colors are very blocky. It is very notable on the devices that have it, I'm fortunate enough to not have it
Just run that YouTube video and see if it runs clear and smooth or very blocky.

Now I did install safe strap root and flashed hyper and jelly but there was a lag feeling to it compared to my note 2.

I have gotten as high as 29000 something or other without overclocking the CPU. I think I was on Hyperdrive. I'd think vanir would smoke. That is one fast rom.

Officially? No, it'll be locked down like any other release. After that? Who knows, we'll just have to wait to see if someone will be able to do it.
What kind of lag are you experiencing exactly? Mine used to stutter a lot more than it does now... here's what I did to fix mine:
1) Freeze/uninstall all bloat of course
2) In Dev options change all window animations to .5 (or off if you want)
3) Turn off Lock Screen animations (water drop/light effect) <--- this made the biggest difference oddly
4) Install Nova launcher and don't use too many home screen widgets
5) (Optional) I use a program called Clean Master which will clean up junk files and cache for you
My S4 still isn't completely lag free, it does still stutter from time to time during heavy multitasking but I think that's just the nature of a heavy skin like Touchwiz running in the background. Unfortunately I have ME7 so comparing it to AOSP is out of the question right now (I don't really want to run Safe Strap at the moment).
There are also other things I haven't tried like Greenify-ing apps and whatnot, but for now I'm happy with how it's acting.
Opening apps up and unlocking phone was laggu for me. I'll try what you suggested. I'm hoping I can either trade my phone for a mdk version or 4.3 becomes unlockable

I'm not sure. I doubt it. I have been hopeful that a dev is sitting on an exploit waiting until the 4.3 update to release it so there is not a opportunity to patch it. But as far as I know right now there is no exploit for the me7 boot loader and no prospects on the horizon.

My wife has a S3 and I also had one before I upgraded to the S4. Initially this phone felt slower to me too but after rooting and installing a stock debloated rom it seems plenty fast. I rarely notice any lag at all....maybe after about 10 days without rebooting. My wifes S3 is SLOW as heck now which is really strange. I tried factory resetting it and last weekend flashed it in Odin...still slow.....her phone is insanely slow compared to mine.

Yeah, maybe my expectations were too high. I was running bonestock and it was the smoothest experience I had. But, the occasional home button lag, super slow dialer, and choppy performance during some game play and scrolling made the overall experience disappointing.

I know it's fun to bash Touchwiz but I think a lot of lag issues still hide under Android itself... I'm hoping to see good results with the TRIM feature in 4.4 (not sure if it's in 4.3?) to totally get rid of lag across all Androids.
I completely agree with you though, Touchwiz is bloated and heavy and I prefer stock Android over all others.
