Great video. More videos like these please. I know there are plenty of videos on the web for rooting but if someone from the verge released a few those would be awesome to watch as well. Thanks for all your hard work.

[ArticBeatle]

YES! YES! YES! Best 1:47 of info The Verge has put out.

Cooool I'll probably refer back to this once I get my upgrade.

I have found the Kii keyboard to be superior to SwiftKey. I'm pretty sure it's just a customizable AOSP 4.2 keyboard, but I really love it. Just turn off the sounds and vibration, change the skin to the holo looking one, enable gesture typing and add the emoji addon to make Kii the ultimate android keyboard.

I heard that it would be hard to get your hands on one, but he's lucky because he had it sent to him.

[ssaini]

that's a common problem nothing to worry about, definitely Touchwiz related!

[phatboy]

Damn the HTC One is the phone of the year! Really want this phone right now

I love Samsung's lock screen options on my note 2 with Jelly bean 4.1.2 on it. Would love to have the 4.2 Jelly bean's nexus lock screen, waiting for an update in the future.

this is why i love android.
to get apps and things that can do this on my iPod touch, it had to be jailbroken, but you can just gets these apps in the play store.
+1 for android

Great vid. Love stock Android but the Nexus 4 can sometimes feel a little chunky, especially with a case on it. I've owned one for two months now.

[inspyral]

Falcon Pro is the best I've found.

Since my Nexus one, I love the stock android experience. When i got the atrix 4g, I had to install CM9 to get the stock experience back. Now on my Galaxy s3 with AOKP. <3 stock feel. Oh and nova + swiftkey is epic

[ChrisHall]

I've always had a hard time with the stock keyboard so I installed SwiftKey. Great app. Larger letters and a more enhanced spell check. As for the interface, I like the default on my Galaxy S3 better than Google's Android stock interface.

I use touchWiz on my Note2 and i don't think to need stock for some improvements in order of simplicity and cleanness. I use the swiftkey keyboards and quickpic only for getting things as I had back from my Nexus S.

[danielnaorr]

I love TheVerge.. And btw he looks quite good ;)

[WhatTechShow]

I'm an Apple fan, but I would want the HTC One instead of the iPhone 5 without hesitation

[MoosaMahsoom]

Samsung's Touchwiz is now officially the gold standard for skeuomorphism on Android with HTC dropping skeuomorphism.

[Nelloffdt]

Lag does exist on 4.2. I saw it. You don't see it often but it's there. and really its not a big deal.

[NikolasSkoufis]

Love it. Anybody who gets the word out there that stock Android is far more beautiful than skinned is ok in my book. Consumers need to be shown and understand this if they're going to demand stock Android on their devices.
