hey guys it's for annum innum in front pocketnow.com what happens when you take an already fast foam like the galaxy s3 and put the fastest version of android on it 4.1 jelly bean well we're gonna find out in this video if got the Samsung Galaxy s3 here running CyanogenMod 10 alpha kind of a beta alpha very early release but it's pretty darn fast and we're gonna see how project butter looks and feels on the galaxy s3 let's get to it okay so here we are this is the galaxy s3 this is the International quad-core version but there are builds of CyanogenMod 10 early previews out for all versions of the galaxy s3 whether you're on t-mobile AT&T Sprint or Verizon again it's early software you have to be rooted we'll put a link up on the video so you can get back to the how-to root galaxy s3 video if you haven't done that yet so I've been using this for about 24 hours trying to figure out if it's good enough if it's fast enough who's really curious to see how jelly bean which is the fastest version of Android works on the galaxy s3 and so far so good I'm really pleased let's just move around real quick I definitely want to get into the web browser and also show you how this version of jelly bean compares to a more official version of jelly bean that I've been using on the Galaxy Nexus here so we'll just move around we get that buttery smoothness go into the app tray boom no animation it just comes up immediately which is fantastic so let's move around a little more folders open super quick we've got the the UI operating at a very high frame rate triple buffering a lot of technical stuff going on which basically just means that everything is super duper fast now a little note here we've got Google now but Google now doesn't work like it does on the Galaxy Nexus on the Galaxy Nexus you slide up from the bottom and boom there's Google now on the G gs3 here what you have to do is put a shortcut there at least this is what I found because I swipe up from the bottom does nothing you put a shortcut to Google here which you can find in the app tray and that will launch Google now as you've expected it to work so let's jumpin the browser try to see how the performances here on the galaxy s3 running CyanogenMod 10 we're gonna go to a complex website we're going to end gadget and we are over a Wi-Fi network here right now so it should be fast okay that is ridiculously fast but that's too easy that's the mobile site let's go to their desktop version which is very long has a ton of images and before it's finished loading I'm going to move down the page no checkerboards pretty impressive here smooth the scrolling is SuperDuper smooth moving down the page I don't see any hesitation whatsoever if we're going to go to Engadget kind of hard to type from this view we get the mobile version also very smooth jelly bean does some really good things don't want to do with that let's go back accidentally hit that button go to the desktop view and before it's done loading we're going to try the same test we're gonna flick around the page and it's pretty good a little bit of white boxing or checkerboarding going on but not too bad on the galaxy s3 they're both very very smooth and of course on the galaxy s3 you're getting more vertical pixels because you don't have this button bar here you've got the bars on the bottom speaking of the the buttons down here let's see multitask so tap and hold over here a little bit faster actually on the galaxy s3 even though on the Galaxy Nexus there's a button dedicated for it but super fast no hesitation I mean it looks good on both devices but the Galaxy s3 is a little extra interesting because you've got that bigger screen and a higher resolution display in terms of the usable space because there are no buttons on the bottom so so far so good with the the preview version of CyanogenMod 10 on the galaxy s3 there will be Knightley's coming out for this so there will be fixes to the little bugs that still exist another little bug here you might have noticed that in the app tray I've got two cameras I've got two galleries I don't know why it's not that big of a deal I can ignore them but it's you know it's a it's a hint that there are some bugs with it so we'll put links up on how to get jellybean for your Galaxy s3 I highly recommend you do it if you're brave enough to root your phone and deal with a couple of but I've been using this for 24 hours like I said and so far so it was so good it's dramatically increased the speed of the galaxy s3 compared to even CyanogenMod 9 a stable version I was running just just a couple days ago so if you like this video please give us a thumbs up and thanks for watching that's it for now
