Yup
I wouldn't mind giving it a shot.
Is it possible to get the JB keyboard onto my un-rooted S3?
I want to try it out.

****N***a please, me and my crew was dealing with the chipped Motorola burnout phones where you didn't have to pay a bill and the Motorola Doctor pagers where a person called and spoke to an operator and the operator typed the message and sent the alpha-numeric message to our pagers. Like I said I been doing this type stuff for awhile youngin, I'm burned on the whole modification game. I just like my s**t to work. Can it send and receive emails, texts, browse the web, tether the web, have good battery life, removable battery and storage and have a nice screen? If I get that out the box f**k rooting and romming.[/COLOR]

Okay so it's time to grab a phone, I think I'm gonna save some cash and grab an S3. The only thing is, does it have the multitask features like the Note II? And if not, will it receive it in the update because I remember reading an article stating that the S3 and Note II would be getting the same software as the S4 soon after launch. I would love a Note II but I can't find it for less than 250 and I'm still a college kid at the end of the day, with other things to buy that are more important than a new phone. I personally don't have a problem with the S3 and the S4 is great and all but I don't want to wait for it to release. Thanks guys.

Well, yeah. Themeing and customizing the layout really makes me waste more time. I'm not faulting any OS for that, because I see myself doing it with my jailbroken iPhone. It's just not something I need to waste time on.
You're incredible
How much do you actually LOVE Android?

Lmao you really tight tho , I think the android thread is getting a little too hectic with all this heated root and ROM discussion. Maybe a break or venture into iPhone thread will do you good

And people say iOSers are fan boys
Just because people are tired of themeing they're a lower class people

This is like the 5th time youve mentioned your a professional in the tech world with your multiple post about getting a job offer from Apple in the last couple pages . Like I've said previously I'm proud of you man that's a great gig to have for any techie no matter what phone OS you prefer Apple is a booming company I don't see slowing down anytime soon nothing but success should come your way being employed by Apple Corp . Are you happy now that you've got the recognition you wanted ?

I guess TMo is really trying to push upgrades out of the way. I just recently looked at the phones I can upgrade to and the N4 and Note II was "sold out", I log off my account and it's available

How Samsung is forging a future decoupled from Android
BY DAVID OKWII ON 20 MAR 2013
Samsung Galaxy S4
Until now, Samsung having released the world’s most popular [Android] smartphone has become synonymous with Android — Google’s mobile operating system — but this is all about to change.
Android is what made Samsung what it is today
There’s no denying the incontestable fact that Android has catapulted Samsung to the enviable throne of being the market leader in the smartphone industry having dethroned the likes of Nokia, Blackberry and Apple from this position that they once held. The Korean maker of Galaxies shipped nearly 215 million smartphones in 2012, or about 40% of the global market. In its wake, Samsung has left a string of wrecked competition, lawsuits and an extraordinarily impressive long tail of Android-powered devices. It’s latest flagship phone — the Galaxy S4 — has further cemented its position and according to some industry pundits has even striped Apple the innovative torch.
But now it’s no longer about Android anymore
Samsung has strategically been developing it’s own tail of software on top of the Android operating system that its flagship device run on. While its phones still come with a slew of Google services like Gmail, Google Maps, Chrome browser, navigation, Street view and so forth, the smartphone vendor has been shipping its devices with its own “S” branded services including its own App store called the Samsung Apps. While it’s understandable that Google’s partners have to tweak the core Android OS especially the User Interface in order to different themselves from the competition, it’s gotten more than just market positioning, branding and differentiation.
Samsung forging its own future with the S4
Other than the zippy cutting-edge hardware specification that come with the S4, Samsung has shipped the device with a galore of applications that aren’t part of the Android fold. For instance S translator, S Voice Drive, S Health, Samsung Hub, Adapt display, Drama shot, Smart scroll and pause, ,Samsung Knox, Group Play, Dual video call, ChatOn, Air view among others are all Samsung service that have nothing to do with Android.

Further more, during the unveiling of the S4 last week, JK Shin — the head of Samsung mobile communication and Ryan Bidan, director of Product marketing for Samsung Telecommunication America — made little or NO mention of Android during their presentation of the Galaxy S4 unveiling at Radio City New York.
Samsung devices will be running other operating systems
Other than Samsung’s own Bada OS which hasn’t gained mainstream adaption, Samsung devices also run on Symbian, Windows Phone and soon, Tizen Mobile Operating system. According to Muktware, the smartphone maker is planning to release the first phone powered by the open-source Tizen OS in August or September, said a report by Bloomberg. Bloomberg quoted Lee Young Hee, executive vice president-mobile business, Samsung as saying: “The Tizen phone will be out in August or September, and this will be in the high-end category. The device will be the best product equipped with the best specifications.”
It remains to be seen whether Samsung can hold on to where it is today without Google’s Mobile operating system. But the fact is that the Korean consumer electronics company has gotten really big, probably much bigger than Android — and therefore doesn’t need it for its survival anymore.
