Coming from a sgs2 I really feel that OK, sgs3 is a hell of a hw but that ICS and JB are still not optimized as the GB stock was for s3.
And other than optimization I'm sure that GB was lighter to run and that is mainly what I'm missing from my new device now.
So I'm wondering....really? Nobody thought about building a GB realease for this huge machine which is s3?
Nobody out there is wondering what I'm wondering?

At first, I was wondering the same thing, but I guess it's not possible, because of the Exynoss Quad-Core processor..
Maybe you should ask some of the devs personally
I dont think quad core is a problem. ICS and jb are well known as not been capable of a correct management of more than 4 cores...

good
The S3 is really good on Jelly bean you must do an update
I'm on dli7 and no its not comparable with s2 with 2.3.5 aboard in smoothness and fastness.

Paranoid Android (CM10) is much smoother than leaked JB due to the differences in framework as it uses more butter friendly AOSP.
I think we are a little OT.
question is GB on s3.
Btw I'm a crap wiz apps fan so no way for me to go aosp/aokp for the moment (I don't see why I have to, when my s2 had in a stock rom)
Inviato dal mio GT-I9300 con Tapatalk 2
It would theoretically be possible to port CM7 to the device but noone in his right mind is gonna do this endeavour.
Most people complaining about ICS/JB being slower are referring to the transition animations.
Try going to System Settings->Developer Options and setting the Window-, Transition and Animator scales to 0 or 0.5
Stock ICS itself is only somewhat bigger than GB, make sure you get rid of bloatware.
Hmmm... GB on S3? Nah....

Huh? GB on the S3? How would want this? ICS and JB are so much better. I'm using MIUI at the moment, before I had the LG8-stock-fw + root but without any lags.

Look don't get me wrong but I already tried everything.
And trust me today I was putting my hand on my girlfriend s2 and that is another world.
What is different is basically the responsiveness in regards to the touch. And somehow the touch precision.
I put on my dli7 the developer mode to see the small dot wherever I'm touching the screen. Most of the time when I'm scrolling I'm seeing this dot this mean that my finger is faster than the touchscreen. This would never happen on a s2 and that is what I'm feeling as something really missing.
BTW to answer your question ive transition at 0 and everything what possible is demanded to GPU only.

i was wondering if it was possible to do a dual boot on the s3? it would be cool if we could have both ics and also jellybean when it comes out.
Why? Jellybean is an enhanced ICS. They are the same thing.

Why?
For sales people like me this would be great because then I can still demo my s3 while I'm at work with out worry of them noticing that I'm not running stock, then everything else I can do a custom rom for normal use.
If we could get this working that would be fantastic...
I read on another site that touchwiz is already hardware accelerated and runs at 60fps. If this is true, are we likely to see any improvements with pb?
Project Butter uses v sync and triple buffering to increase smoothness. My experience with jellybean on the Galaxy nexus is that it hardly makes any difference on a modern high end phone. The hardware acceleration you mention is an ics feature by the way, not unique to this phone.

Does it make any difference to scrolling? That's primarily where I notice a little stuttering/jumpiness.

Seems like jelly bean on the nexus is faster than touchwiz on the S3. Hopefully it'll fly on this then!
Biggest change appears to be in the browser.

I couldn't disagree more! The Jelly Bean update has got me using my Nexus more and more and my S3 sadly seeing less use time. The Nexus is now noticeably smoother and more responsive compared to the S3 or any other phone I've ever used. For perspectives sake I currently have an iPhone 4, a Samsung Focus, Nokia Lumia 900, a Nexus and the S3 to compare directly with at the moment.
It is hard to show in a video or accurately describe in words just how smooth Android is after Jelly Bean and I can't wait for the update on my S3. Google Now, Project Butter and all the other improvements and small refinements of Jelly Bean added to what the S3 already offers is going to be one incredible combination!

I just hope we see the benefits with touchwiz. Seems like a GUI overlay might not see the benefits unless the manufacturer specifically supports it.

I saw a video comparison of 2 GN's, one with JB and one with ICS. JB was noticeably smoother in every way. The system, the menus, the scrolling, the browser scrolling even.
Guys, why there's still less development of this device? :-(

Xperia S is flagship and has sold more. Also it has hardware specs similar to other phones.
Most devs are making roms for samsung/nexus or htc devices.
Maybe it is to difficult to make a aosp version for the xperia s.

I do find it kind of sad that the Xperia phones don't have as good of dev support. They are great hardware wise, but the Rom support is pretty terrible. If Samsung didn't make the Nexus I would have picked one up, but I got the S instead because Samsung makes terrible hardware and they are not reliable.
The reason Samsung have more ROMs is because their stock ROM is terrible...
But don't worry, you P, U and Sola users haven't been forgotten... we are working on tools for your device
Cool

Listen mate, what do you want any of us to say?
It's a world of pointlessness asking for a phone comparison in a S2 forum (the wrong section by the way) because all you're going to get is biased responses.
Check the specs of both phones, check the reviews and make up you're own mind.
Asking a load of complete strangers to make purchase decisions for you is no way to go through life son.

Yup.Galaxy s2 is much better than grand duos.It can run games smoothly.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I wouldn't buy it again since Samsung doesn't release documentation about Exynos chip and therefore custom ROMs won't run bug-free. I guess I'd try a Sony or take a look at the Fairphone at fairphone.com.
By the way, you're in the wrong section. Ask a moderator to move it to Q&A please.

Not necessarily biased as people experienced with a S2 can definitely give great comparison on how other phone's work better/worse.
Ok to the OP, first of all the display is the only relevant and major factor here, other hardware configuration are either equal or inferior compared to the S2 (The Mali Gpu is definitely more powerful),for the duo's the internal memory is at 8gb or something right(at the same price S2 will have 16).
Ok about the display the only good is that it's 5" rest about it is crap, come on comparing a tft touchscreen with an amoled plus is not even remotely fair. Amoled outshines(pun!) tft, period. For a 5" screen the resolution is same as the S2's, the ppi is so low the pixels can be seen as big ugly dots.
So in almost every regards S2 does infact outshines the grand, but if you want a bigger screen you will have to go for the grand.
This review by me is not biased, I compared every specs of the device for a friend and found it completely unimpressive.

S2 will be a bad Android experience, too. TouchWiz will become ugly very soon and custom ROMs don't work as supposed and will always be a bit buggy =/

Understanding people own preference but I don't know why some people hate it. I personally think TW is just fine if not great, I was on SGS2 shoman ROM and enjoy TW very much. I didn't see any problem with that. I was on Task's AOKP too. They were all great.
I'm sure here and there I see someone claim " I hate TW or i hate Sense or i hate ASOP , ......"
I guess each framework/launcher has its own advantages and disadvantages and people just find something to hate.
Imho the LG's ui is better than I've ever thougt, i came from dhd and hox. Sense is beautiful but LG has done a very big job during these years.
