At the end of the day money talks, and Samsung will milk everything Android has to offer as long as they're making money. Sure they might attempt this Tizen thing, but a good ecosystem is important in an OS no matter how good it is. You think users will jump to Tizen if it doesn't have Instagram, FB, Twitter clients and other apps that people use? Definitely not. I think Android is here to stay for a long time. But of course, anything can happen. Good write up!
This article.... Looks EERILY similar to me... http://www.talkandroid.com/127030-ex-motorola-employee-claims-it-was-harder-to-work-with-google-after-acquisition/
Not quite understanding the negative backlash this is getting. If you don't agree with the requirements, then don't apply lol. But if this kind of work is something you wanna get into, then this is a good way to get your foot in the door.
@whipmanjak They really did! HTC had it perfectly in line for them to make their One lineup known. But nope... They didn't give one to TMO and Verizon and the Sprint one looks ugly paired with the Ugly Evo4G LTE name when it could have been cooler if they named it the Evo One. Oh well :P
@MdXMaxX You know what, I never understand why people complain about the plastic finish. One, it makes the phone sooo much lighter I love that! And two, I slap a case on it anyways so even if it were metal it wouldn't matter. I love what Samsung's doing. Only thing I don't like now is the theme of TW. While I love TW, I just don't like the theme much. But that doesn't really matter! Everything else is awesome!
@shipman I hate how new games always do that... Why can't they just make it compatible with all phones?!
@TheTechChat *drools* We can only wish man...
@Travis Newhero I know right! This is VERY interesting...
@Hugh McFarlane Seriously. And that "endless possibilities" line really got to me. O_o
Some people like the look of TW. I personally don't, but I like the apps and features TW provides. Just wished they themed it better.
@NotSoSiniSter couldn't agree more!
@Tuliomesa82 I know right???? Why fire the guy.... I would have made a commercial out of that lmao.
@JamesHaines I see what you did there. :P
@FernandoGarcia You can't straight up flash it to the Note as the zip is made for the Nexus. But you can unzip the flash and take out the files you want. For example, you can extract the wallpapers, ringtones, and apps like the launcher and memo app. Just take the apk and install it on your phone.
@Serotheo Yeah it definitely has more features than CM. And there is a theme manager now as Dima has said. You'll like it!
@Matlock I love that combo as well! Although I've recently been loving Trinity kernel a lot. It gives off better whites than Francos. Give it a shot if you have time. :)
@RaienDrops Hmmm, this must have been a while ago since you're referring to 4.0.1 correct? AOKP is now at 4.0.4, before you flash make sure you wipe data. And don't forget the Google apps afterwards!
