Motorola hasn't pushed the hardware envelope in years now but keep on believing guys~
I'm confused; arguably the best phone on the market today ( HTC one m8 ) doesn't have the latest and greatest specs like some of you want and gets along just fine. The X has aged gracefully and really, to this day, has not been dethroned for active smart notifications. If the X2 simply gains a few inches, gets an 801 or X82 CPU, so what? Android aint even mad but people in this thread are.
Well not in terms of pure power. They have pushed hardware design in other ways though.
What are you talking about, the X is the most ergonomic and comfortable phone to hold.
c what i did ther
Sadly indulging in spec wars doesn't help a phone in any way.
God damn those thin bezels, and great batteries, and passive on screen notifications, and wood options and light handheld hardware and great radios, and
oh wait
yeah, fuck moto.

Speaking of wood options, where the hell is Andrex?
Because that's what makes a phone the best right?

it's too bad that Moto can't do everything they did with the Moto X and also use flagship hardware at the same time. must be complicated.

Well Moto isn't targeting the flagship market anymore. They could use the flagship hardware but it wouldn't let them meet their price points they target now.
The point is moot for people who don't worship at the altar of unskinned Android. Anyone who doesn't care about the stock "experience" will be on Touchwiz or Sense or whatever that LG skin is called anyways.
He's super busy with work and things. getting that green.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Let's just say I'll disagree that's all he is doing. LoL

apologies for the ignorance but where are these icons from? nova launcher?

Do I really need a different launcher to use different icons?
Is water wet?

Beautiful Icon Styler can change icons in the stock launcher without root, so maybe try that out.
I use unicon for that and it works pretty well. Been sticking with the Lumos icons for a while

Oh dear. Just take the L Unknown and let it be over. Also to me, it's really been Sony pushing the hardware with their water proof and dust proof features.

so my girlfriend and i found her old galaxy s2 and i've nabbed it to mess about with. shan't really use it as a phone, will be wifi only, but anything neat i can do? first things first will be to remove touchwiz, haha.

I got the moto x and I like it overall but why didn't any of the reviews mention that you can't change the resolution of pics taken with the camera?? Annoys the crap out of me since it makes no sense not to have this and I end up using the default camera app anyway cause I love the instant access to it with the twist.

I still think his Nox icon pack is his best work, but damn some of those icons are nice. Pity you cant mix and match from those two icon packs.
I can't wait for the moto D to snuff the G3.
I'm getting a motox with a cracked screen soon.
Still better than n5. :jnc:
Well, you can. At least in Apex. You can change the icon of every app to something else than your currently activated default icon set.
Eanan

Well I be damned, I just found out you can also do this with Nova after a bit of digging.
After using Nova for about 2 years straight, ive only just seen this. Very cool.
Nova is the apex. Not to be confused with Apex, which doesn't gel with me. Not to be confused with GEL, which doesn't have good customization options.
Not everyone needs 30 cores and 4 gig of ram to power through their shit software so it can just barely be bested by a $99 phone
You say that now, but imagine 4,096 neurosynaptic cores in your pocket.

So you're worshiping specs instead? It doesn't make sense if those superior specs don't provide for better software performance/user experience. Like I've said in a past, we've reached a point where raw power continues to matter less in phones, unless you're referring the high end gaming aspect or the camera aspect (which HTC One and the Moto X could use some improvement in). I think it's the battery, camera, and extra hardware features (like audio quality and water/dust proof) that matter the most hardware wise.
Probably one of the best posts in this thread in a long while.

I see, I must have just been imagining the water and dust proof certifications on the S5.
But i guess I forgot AndroidGAF is the official Samsung Haters Club. So keep that hate train rolling, maybe if you keep hating Samsung enough you can hate them to death.
brotkasten
Member
But is it really?
Thanks, that sounds better.
Then tell me. I don't know why I would replace the launcher on my N5. I like the way it looks and performs.
That sounds good, too. I welcome anything that doesn't need root or any other form of tinkering. e: And Unicon does need root. Boo.

Criticism is not hate. Corporations do not deserve blind loyalty. Motorola are not without fault.
Tell me this without invoking a strawman or even discussing another Android OEM: Can Samsung do far better to optimize Touchwiz on their *current* hardware for speed, stutter and frame rate?

So your ideal phone is the Galaxy S5 I'm guessing?

Okay so any idea why I can't get cyanogen mod to install? It keeps having trouble seeing my device...

i could make a video of side by side where a GS5 'beats' a Moto E, G or X by doing shit like S Beam files vs going thru the menus to set up Wifi Direct or you know... actually take a picture or video with the camera.
Using the app? Maybe your device isn't supported? Just flash through recovery?
