Hi , i'd like to know, what are the huge advantages of having 4.0 instead of 3.0? are there many huge differences? tbh, i kind of like the look of 3. (like the black background on launcher etc)
but i see everyone going to 4.0..
what are the huge advantages?
is it slower than 3.0? does it require more RAM to run? can you have both?
It looks MUCH better. Just search for 'Touchwiz 4.5' here on XDA. It's a heavy modified version of the original TW4.

Cheers for that, but is 4,5 the official version, or is it the xda version
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
4.5 is the modded XDA-version. Samsung didn't officially release TW4 for our SGS (only for SGS2).

Some one could just answer the guy, isit(T4) faster and what are the benefits over Tw3, he,s just being told "touch 4.5" is great. Probably is but we arn't getting to the root.Can't you just see the guy sitting there, to embarrassed to ask 1 more time, lol,.....any one know , he he?
Well, he should just try TW4, there are some ROMs with it too. It looks better (in my opinion). I would not say that it's faster.
And he doesn't have to be ashamed, XDA is a big forum and forums are here that people can ask questions.
Yeh haha xD
thanks for the replies guys!
When i get my sgs as a backup i will be looking to install touchwoz 4.0 then, cheeers
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
touchwiz 4/4.5 has loads of FC and its not stable for some users including me... even though its fast and smooth i still prefer launcher pro
definitelly TW4 is much better than TW3
- TW3 does not have the 5 icon dock (only modded versions do)
- TW4 has better environment for placing shortcuts, widgets, wallpapers
- TW4 has better options to organize apps in app drawer (folders)
- TW4 is easier to scroll to any desktop within a second
- TW4 needs more resourses, but e.g. on JUWE 5.1 and Talon kernel it is smooth
I have never tried the TW4.5

thanks! So touchwiz 4 requires more ram?
It flies on the sgs2, but wondering how it would cope on the sgs1.
But thanks for the info!

wonder no more: touchwiz 4.5 (you should probably get this one as opposed to touchwiz 4, but i can't since i haven't tried it) flies on sgsl as well; faster, in fact, than TW 3 (using xxkph, by the way; it's important because gingerbread adds 10 mb more to the ram)
it looks better, particularly 4.5 since i guess all those snazzy transition animations are xda's work (i've had hands-on time with the sgs 2 and those animations aren't there). and once you slap a theme over all of it...lets just say you're going to make your friends jealous
again, while i can't vouch for 4, 4.5 has one bug and it's that the stock samsung widgets won't work on it. it comes with a manager that lets you download fixed versions of those widgets AND sgs 2 widgets (all of them, except for calendar in my case, work)
trust me, take the jump to 4.5, you won't regret it (at least, i hope not )

This is awesome. The only thing I liked about miui was the launcher and themes. It does seem to lag but ill let it build up the cache and see how it goes, but its great for a beta.

This was such an old app introduced back when ICS was fresh and people never payed much attention to I see. I've seen that question so many times asking how do I get the PA wallpapers on the screen shots. It was an official Google App the entire time. I was like why are people acting brand new about it. It was meant for fun and a way to create silly looking avatars for yourself and contacts.
I use CM 10 and I use atom launcher from market.
I found it more snappy.
please describe your experience with your favourite launcher for cm10 that could help others.

Nova, the best........its very fast, smooth animations .......never been to other launcher when im on ICS or cm10............
Tried most of them,i use nemus with themes on all rom's,it has 0 lag and ~14mb which i love
currently ADW launcher that came with Temasek's rom
on CM10 testing i used Apex Launcher (i also tried GoLauncher on CM10 - but it was too laggy for me)
btw why didn't you create a simple poll in this thread with most common launchers?
I use Apex, always smooth, sometimes dock disappears though.

Easy mate, it is still a beta. It will use more memory as it is OpenGL biased. But still it is fast as hell.

Apex here too, although scrolling on widgets is not as smooth as one would expect for CM10. On Scrollable New Widget i get those 'periodic stutters' i used to have on CM7 too. Interesting thing is that if performance governor is selected (@1GHz always) it runs buttery smooth. So maybe something to do with the interactive governor (preset on CM10) configuration? Btw, the same goes for all android menus, contacts etc; Only on performance governor things are totally smooth everywhere-always.
Nova prime, awesome, no lag just pure smooth awesomeness and i can organize my apps and games so i can actually find stuff without searching and concentrating really hard like all the other crap launchers.
nova prime its the best...
Primo launcher is the best!

I'm currently satisfied with Stock, after trying 99% of the roms out there.
Now I want to flash MIUI v5 (3.9.13 is the latest as far as i know) and see if it is any good.
I see that MIUI isn't very popular here as it is on the Gnex forums or other devices such as sony and samsung forums.
What do you guys think about it - Good or bad ? please state why
Used it, was good but definitely not as slick and fast as stock. Also the recent task manager makes your widgets freeze I'd you clear all.

some theme isn't free, you have to pay some theme with MiCredit(What is this? how does it works?)
i don't know why, the gallery won't load any of my pic, this problem i have never find in stock ROM..
too many crap apps that you don't need, i don't know what name of that's apps because it's written with a chinese word..

Looking forward for their new work with Hugo Barra - Other than that, they have always been an iOS-Wanna-Be to me, even though they have nice features - Just another experience built on top of Android
They are trying to create their own Android experience. I tried it for a week and return to cm10.1. The reason is because it uses more ram tham cm when i cleared everything.

I just reverted to stock also. I did not experience lag at all, but the overall experience was slow. Ios and EVEN Ubuntu touch feels faster and snappier that that.
I use MIUI as my daily driver and I've got to say it is AMAZING!
BTW to get the Gallery and other devices to recognize your SD data you need a media scanner app
I use the Trinity Kernel and it rocks with great performance and battery life that fits my needs :3
I don't OC the CPU on this Kernel but I do have the GPU OC'd to 480 MHz
All in all it may not be stock android
But its worth a try :3

Why this is not popular here? Cuz there is no official rom for n4. All the versions you see here are ports. Miui experience is thus not the best, but its not too bad. Personally i am hooked to more features like pie and halo etc thus making miui a little less attractive.
What about the Miui roms you see on miui.com and xiaomi.eu/, are there any differences? Both are 3.9.13 and JB...

It's a great rom I'm till using it and love it. I mean it doesn't have that buttery smooth scrolling as the stock vanilla, but it's barley noticeable . Thanks goes to Datsun.510 for porting this rom onto the nexus 4
Looks pretty sweet...I've used the v5 theme, but the experience itself looks compelling, as do the themes:
http://en.miui.com/features.php
Not a big fan of MIUI, kinda reminds me of iOS.
The themes look nice tho but I rather stick to the vanilla android like experience.

Not the best rom out there. Then again that very sentence is subjective. I prefer a less skinned aosp type of rom.
looks good but it works bad in my opinion and since i'm not a big fan of chinese mobile, no offence but let's stick with the identity of pure google! :cyclops:
I fell in love with miui with my Galaxy SL i9003 then with my xperia arc s lt18i and now with my nexus, where battery life, interface and smoothness is incredible... Now I am not using it, but I allways come back
Ehhhhh its OK pretty simple and elegant but it has negatives also...in my opinion its mainly extra useless apps and no app drawer
