Hi, I am having trouble deciding on which phone to buy. I can get the S2 for 60 dollars cheaper. I am just wondering what are your thoughts ? I know there are threads like this already, but I just want some opinions. Thanks alot guys !
S2 is better. There was similar thread in Q&A why, maybe you'll find it

Well, the only difference between the two would probably be the HD screen and the camera. The Nexus is probably more future proof though. In your opinion, what would you go for?
Go for S2 or S3 if you like big screen ..cheers

You know, I also had to make decision - S2, Nexus, S2, Nexus... and I choosed S2.
Nexus has no microSD slot, which is important to me.
I'm using CyanogenMod as a daily ROM, then I don't need official updates so much.
But, that's only my opinion.
Go for Nexus.

Any advantages?
My personal opinion would be the Galaxy Nexus, because it's going to get updates for years. The S2 is already a bit forgotten by Samsung in my opinion. The Nexus is pure Android without any other companies making their own "version". Remember that this is all my personal opinion.

Exactly, galaxy s3 superior hardware in everyway to the nexus and seems like I'll have longer developer support and already great ROMs and kernels for both devices.

Will agree with everyone here, S3 is the superior phone in almost every way. Has touchwiz but you can easily replace your launcher or run a non-touchwiz ROM.

I'm guessing yes ....
But these things take time ...
The note 2 CPU architecture is very different ...and the kernel will need big changes...
It's gonna be worth it I think ....g
Lets hope so

Guess we will just have to wait and see if a dev would like to port this over and bless us with some GN2 goodies. But its not a simple process. Its extremely time consuming and he dev would REALLY wanna take time out of their lives to do us this favor. Although, i gotta admit, im hoping to see this too.

I have a lot of patience when it comes to my GN1, and the great dev teams out there, excellent job by the way! I hope it happens before the GN2 arrives so I can save some money lol.

I dont believe so because if you read the description its states its for a different model of phone...which would be the Galaxy Note 2. Its just the Oiginal rom. Hasnt been ported over to our phones ....yet. Unless im reading it wrong.

i don't want the note two
I really really don't want to upgrade to the note2, I hate physical home buttons( I've had very bad experiences with it) all i want is the rom and its new goodies and hope that it plays nice with the blaze radios to keep using my baby on simple mobile.
XDA is no longer worth my time.
I'm with you, i would really love to get that dual window mode on my original note. Especially since just getting the gn2 isn't really an option for me.

Been away from here for a while. Life just got in the way. Picked up a GN1 here a few months ago. Ill be watching this thread closely. Would like to see some of the features of the GN2 ported over to the GN1.
I would love to get multi window on my note... Anybody have ideas?

Not looking good for the note 1 to get note 2 goodies! Note 2?
Sent from my SGH-I717 using xda premium
Port fron GN2 to GN1 is NOT going to happen anytime soon.
Where to begin. Even if they were porting the GN2 rom to the GN1, it would be the international GN1, NOT the US version, and the US version has completely different hardware, than the international one. ALL new Samsung phones are using all new hardware compared to the US GN1. There is no way those ROM's will make it over to our i717. the hardware is just too different. Because the US GN1 has LTE, they used the Qualcomm S3 SOC, and this was US only. The rest of the world used either the newer Qualcomm S4, or the Samsung SOC. The Note 2 uses Exynos (sp?) quadcore SOC radically different than our Note 1's.
You can forget about any Note 2 ports to the Note 1. Ports have been from like hardware, to like hardware, for example the AT&T Galaxy Skyrocket has basically the same internals, as our Note 1, and there have been ports that way. The Note used pretty much the last of those SOC's.
There is always the chance that Samsung will come out with an Official JB port for our phone.
I think you are correct, updates with gnote 2 goodies are very unlikely. Time to save up for a gnote 2!

I have seen a review fire a ROM on the international note that did have multi-window working. I don't remember the specific build but iT sure looked like a nice feature.
I don't know anything about developing software for phones but why would it be hard for a Dev to add in that functionality?

For those who dont know me I dev with Team Slim, ROM is called Slim Bean, located here. Anyway I have tossing the idea of getting the note2 around in my head and bringing Slim Bean 4.2.1 to it as well If your interested in Slim Bean on the note2 drop a post so I can get a feel for how many want to see Slim Bean on this device.
What kind of question is that.... of course we want you to create a rom here. I use to run slim on my s3!! Amazing work

Well I had a similar thread for Slim Bean on d2usc. Got it up and running but interest just wasnt there, tester stopped replying and whatnot. The ROM was bug free to, as it was 4.2.1 version, IDK, some peoples kids I guess, lol.
Me definitely

**** I forgot lol I remember now. I remember I tried out his ROM for a bit. I was thinking of someone else who made a slimmer TW ROM. Now that I look back at my S3 backups I remember. His ROMs were still really damn slim. The only ROM that was slimmer was Liquid but Slim still had lots of features while maintaining that slim package
