Since it's not, I went with the closest thing to it.

I figured since it's essentially the N4, devs would actually support it and make custom rom for it.
We'll see. None so far on XDA though they have rooted it, unlocked its bootloader and made a recovery for it.

That's surprising. Hasn't it been out for a while? There are cyanogen mods out for so many obscure crap phones.

I think it's the LG label. People are hesitant.
I know there's a group working on stuff in xda so they'll come eventually.

I've been on JB for a while now. On both my Nexus S and HTC EVO 3D so ICS on the OG is the really the first time I used ICS.
I must say, I love the phone's UI. It's so smooth and customizable.
I've had the phone for 2 days and already I love LG's UI over HTC's Sense.

I want ICS on my SII but my buddy says its pretty glitchy and unstable atm but that JB is supposed to be released early December and supposed teh tits. I hope it was worth the wait.

[Nalej]

A friend of mine has an SII on ATT and he has stable JB rom on his already. At least, that's the impression he gave me.

edit: Is this rooted or are you talking about the official releases?

Its rooted. If JB is already out I will ask my buddy about it.

Yea, a quick check on XDA and there are 2 JB roms there. I checked the bug list of the first one I saw (slim) and it was pretty minor.

Apparently SwiftKey Flow is almost ready for beta and they don't testing their email severs today.

[ImBrotherCain]

Swiftkey Flow has been released in a public beta. It combines the amazingness of Swiftkey and Swype. Everyone I mean everyone should download it as it is a free version of Swiftkey and a Swype style keyboard that has an upgraded with the ability to Swype through entire paragraphs by swypeing over the space bar.

[Nalej]

SWEEEEETTTTT!!! DLing now.


edit1: Is there no more swipe to delete? I can see how that can be difficult accomplish while using flow but that was one of my favorite features of Swiftkey

edit2: Apparently not. I went to their beta site and it's being suggested a bunch over there.

[ImBrotherCain]

Anyone else grab it yet? I trying to get used to using the flow feature and compete sentences without lifting my finger.

Which is exactly why I couldn't deal with android anymore. Happens to all their phones.

I do miss android wallpapers though. They have better wallpapers bc you can actually see the wallpaper.

[Nalej]

I'm on my fourth android phone and I've never had that issue. You fail at trolling.
I also enjoy having a homepage that isn't completely filled with apps. I like a clean look.
My homepage is bare besides a weather widget. Oh yeah, widgets are awesome too.

you should've stopped using a six year old phone that you dropped on the road in a ski area during a blizzard in a puddle of potassium chloride, then tried to use 3 years later because your modern, real phone got stolen. it probably wouldn't have happened, then.

[themaninblack]

Iphone users are the worst.

Also this doesnt look bad, GameKlip. Costs $15 plus a PS3 controller. Bluetooth or wired. SGIII specific one or you can double side tape it too a cheap case for other types.

[descendency]

Been trying to order 2 Nexus 4's for my parents (because their phones suck) for Christmas and Google's play store has one of if not the worst customer service reps I've ever dealt with.

My card was declined (fraud protection), so I called the bank and got that squared away. Then called Google and talked with what seemed like 4 (2 in the play store and 2 in Google Wallet) people. All 4 of them gave me a different answer. I'm still not sure what is going on. All I know is I want them to take my money and send me 2 Nexus 4s...

It's taken 3 days and I still have no idea if they are going to be shipped, I am going to the back of the line, my card is able to be billed, or if my order was canceled.

The only real positives to their service has been that they are nice and speak fluent (as a first language) English.

I hope Google gets around to fixing this disaster before they launch the 5th Gen Nexus, which I will likely buy for myself (or at least consider buying).

Dang that looks pretty cool.Makes me want thee SG3 even more. But I gotta wait until my contract ends with VZW so I switch to sprint .

[Nalej]

Alright njx, I was wrong again. I said I wouldn't use swype on a tablet. I didn't think it was practical. I was wrong. Using the SwiftKey Flow on my N7 right now and it's amazing.

Google Wallet was a pain in the ass to set up because my bank assumed it was fraud. Once that was squared away, I got my Nexus 7. I know what you mean.
