Big Boss Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Absolutely no idea why people care about benchmarks any more? The top phone is always going to be one upped by the benches by a phone coming in next 2-3 months. It is ridiculous. Just buy an Android which has good custom dev support and after sales support. HTC doesn't have both, and are retarded in their pricing in India. Heck they dont even do any ads for Indian TV anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sackboy Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Sense is just terrible. I can stay away from TW, sense shouldn't be a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spindoctor Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) Nexus 4 is JB 4.2.2. Most of the benchmark apps don't even support it properly. PS - My Nexus 4 benches 22000 on Antutu. (Custom ROM). The N4 also has aggressive thermal throttling by default which lowers benchmark scores. You'll remember AT benched the phone after putting it in a freezer and it performed far better than in normal temperature. Putting any custom rom on it will 'unlock' it's benchmark potential. It might be easier/less overwhelming to program regular apps using NDK (You can choose how much you segregate between Java and C) or should be considered as another option as well. Yep. I can't imagine any reason why one would jump into kernel programming directly. So some tasks to be done on my nexus 7 today : Unlock Bootloader (will wipe the tab completely , no way to create nandroid backup) Root Get custom recovery Setup multiboot Get stock rom as primary Install ubuntu as secondary Lots of work to do. The good news is rooting will take 10-15 mins. I watched the ubuntu video and I wasn't particularly impressed though. Also sounds like the HTC One camera will be heavily dependent on the software. I wonder if that will cause problems for custom ROMs that don't incorporate this 'ultra pixel' camera technology in it. I imagine running cyanogenmod on it for example would mean it gets relegated to just another 4MP camera.

spindoctor Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) Swiftkey just updated. Flow has now been integrated into the main app. Goodbye Swype... you were the trailblazer when it came to gesture typing but somehow you never came out of beta.

beb0p Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Tried it. Love it. Words I used to have trouble typing with Swype are a breeze now, and the interface is just so easy on the eyes. RIP swype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, yes! That's actually the main reason for the scores on stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egg man Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Swype is seriously dead They were the one coming with the innovative stuff, yet they never though it was worth being in playstore or come out of beta in 4-5 years. The only thing it has going against Swiftkey is the price, apart from that Flow is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Boss Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Well Swiftkey was available for peanuts during some Play Store sale. Happy user since that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parvinder Singh Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Somehow I still rate Swype over swiftkey flow. Although it is in beta phase, but the accuracy in Swype is way better than flow. I have used flow ever since its first beta came, updated each version but still came back to Swype. Flow doesn't have dictionary, it fails to remember previous entered words, at least most of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sackboy Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 It does have dictionary and it stores your words. My only gripe with it is that it is not memory conservative at ALL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typing thru flow currently, accuracy still missing. Try typing settings with flow. For me it kept giving output as songs. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
