Hey guys I'm thinking about buying this phone soon, but I have a question. Is it possible to run stock 4.1 on this phone?
Thanks
 
Oh you want a pure (vanilla) build of 4.1.2..

As of now no. The closest you will get would be to install cm10. It's based off AOSP which is the official build. It has a few added apps and some personalization options that go beyond the Vanilla build. It's as close as you'll get.

Right now the cm10 rom is alpha stage so not everything works but progress is moving right along
 
Oh ok thanks for answering my question. I have another though, how does this device respond to games like asphalt 7 or 8? I've looked around but can't find any gaming videos that aren't just temple run or subway surfer
 
Honestly couldn't tell you. I don't game alot. I have heard people say once phone is overclocked it's pretty good for games
 
I don't plan on over clocking it that much cus I don't wanna kill the battery lol, but I've just placed the order.
 
Technically, 1.5 is uncapped, 1.8 is OC.

At 1.8 we're approaching S3 benchmarks. Same GPU as an S3, and same chip minus some L2 cache. Should handle anything an S3 can.

Running 1.5 stable is a reasonable expectation. Whether you'll be able to run at 1.8 is a crapshoot, luck of the draw. Some can't, there's no guarantee.
