Re: Any Galaxy S3 users get a Nexus 4? What are your impressions?
I haven't seen many of those EXACT features in any non-touchwiz ROM, as well as the new features coming up in the update they started pushing out (same with apps)...but maybe there is, I haven't taken the time to go through Nexus development threads...some reason it seems impossible to put them into AOSP based roms for the S3 lol.
In a way they are "useless," but they are nice to have. I don't like waiting for my LED, and as soon as I take my phone out of the pocket it vibrates letting me know I have something, I always found that pretty handy. I also use two other features I forgot, Smart Stay (screen stays on when you are looking at it) and Smart Rotation (screen won't rotate when it's not suppose to)...to my knowledge I don't know any apps that do any of those. There are apps to do the video pop out thing though lol, that's kind of cool.
Me too, or else I would be running AOKP right now lol. ...even if the option is there to find 10-15 apps to duplicate those functions, what a pain in the...O
tlrsax^^^ the point is that all of these features and countless others from Android based roms (aka TouchWiz, Sense, Blur) are available via apps or custom roms. That's where the OEM's and even Google itself gets "their" ideas most of the time (let's not leave Apple or Microsoft out of this). Someone mentioned vanilla Android as a clean canvas. Great analogy! So you can have whatever you like, and not bog or blog your device with the stuff you don't want or need. I'll be the first to say AOSP roms are way to plain for me. I've only run AOSP builds for the few hours it takes feature rich rom devs to release a build after a new version of Android hits AOSP. I just know that I could get most all of my can't live without features on a stock device via the play store.

direct call seems kinda useless, i mean i'd honestly rather tap the # to call but thats me
smart alert, again seems useless as light flow seems more useful since i can just look at the phone and look at the specific colors (i have green for emails, blue for texts, red for calls, etc.)
tilt to zoom, pan to move icon, shake to update, pan to browse and double tap to get to the top seems nice but honestly seem very minor. anyone know of some apps that can do these?

I'd like to find an app to duplicate all those functions
