Heya King. Have you put JB on your MAXX HD yet via root?

13. KingKurogiii posted on 12 Dec 2012, 20:14

yeah, i've had the leak since it came out and i have Safestrap which can boot into either CM10 and Batakang as well. o:

Sweet man. I did pick up the DNA, and it is amazing. I get by quite easily with the 16GB storage and the battery is far better than I ever imagined. I usually get through a whole day, including text, social media, calls, and some gaming. I think it's no contest, best phones of the year in no particular order are the MAXX HD, DNA, and SGSIII. The SGSIII will be sweet on JB. I know my DNA is.=)

and the Note II, in fact i'd replace the SIII with that because out of the three you mentioned in terms of specs the SIII can't fight the DNA and the MAXX HD. i'm glad you're enjoying your DNA, i MIGHT get one and try it out one day but i'll have to be able to get some stable AOSP on there.

I haven't rooted mine yet, and honestly, I don't think I will in the near future. Runs great as it is, and just don't wanna risk screwing it up. Way my luck has run lately, I'd brick it lol.

xD if you're happy with it then definitely don't. i'm just not a big fan of Sense. i like to be creative with the way things like my homepages look and Sense has a very specific elegant look which isn't really neutral looking enough to work with.

What can I say, the great thing about Android is you can have it how you want it. =)

I'm just not comfortable calling the Note II a phone. It really is a thing all on it's own. It's cool, no doubt, but I just find it hard to really call it a phone. To me it is more like a tablet that can make phone calls, based on the capabilities it has.

I've been running the VRBLK3 leak for a week or two, most currently with Jelly Beans v6. Super smooth and fast.

Samsung is the number one smartphone seller with the number once mobile OS with no one even close.

I prefer the plastic removable back in case I scratch the backing.
I could just buy a new one for $5

i'm amazed that big red is pushing out an update even this quick, though after having my s2 on att, i'm leary of flashing leaks anymore

I've been using the K3 leak for a few days and it works good following the steps in the XDA thread.

Why does a screenshot of Google Now say Google Plus?

10. slandy7 posted on 12 Dec 2012, 18:58 1

Naturally the dimwits at Verizon described Google Now to a T and then called it Google Plus

I'll believe it when I hit the "Software update" and see it pop up! lol

Been enjoying Jelly Bean through Cleanrom. I hope these photo effects can be used with the front facing camera.
