This phone is already smooth and fast. So I'm not sure what to look for in project butter. I'm rooted and have Google now. So I guess that leaves me with the better notifications?
One bad thing about Google now. It doesn't open apps. At least it doesn't in this rom. But I've seen no videos of it opening apps so I'm going to assume it doesn't do it. Other than that it's great
The reviews I watched all say that Google now on official jellybean doesn't open apps "yet", implying that Google is working on adding that ability. I hope it comes in the form of a simple app update rather than in a future OS that we have to wait for.

my gut instinct is that itl use more battery. i wish that without rooting and custom rom, touchwiz would let us control the cpu speed (within reason) like we do with screen brightness so that we can customise the power saving mode to underclock by however we want depending on circumstances. they may say im a dreamer lolBetter battery life would be nice.
Probably wouldn't use Google Now. Project Butter sounds nice, but only if it has a neutral or positive effect on battery life.

I just ordered my GS3 and it still hasent arrived so I?m sorry for my ignorance regardings this, but what is "Nova Launcher" and "Google Now"? Does it really make a difference in performance? I believe we can always uninstall stuff from the stock OS to make it a bit lighter, not having to root the phone and void our warranty. But please correct me if I?m wrong.
Cheers
Nova Launcher is a downloadable home screen launcher you can replace touchwiz with. Some people prefer its aesthetic and it's apparently a lot faster. We're talking about it because we're wondering if Google's new project butter feature will make the stock OS as fast as nova launcher.
Google Now is a feature on the upcoming Jelly Bean OS that aims to push relevant information to you before you ask for it. The phone would use data about your patterns and schedule to guess what info you need. It'll tell you the weather in the morning, when you have to leave for work based on local traffic, the score for your favourite sports team if they're playing that day etc.
