This isn't stock JB. Its the LeWa ROM, so it may be buggy and unfinished.

Ah, didn't realise

Recieved my Jiayu G3 yesterday. Excellent phone. The build quality is great. Already rooted

[twrock]

I'm seriously trying to decide between the G3 and G2S. My previous phone was only 3.5" screen, and I do want a larger screen. My phone is 117mm in length. But the G3 with 4.5" screen ends up being so much longer overall from my previous phone that I wonder if I'll be too likely to bend/break it, since I carry my phone in my front pants pocket. At least the G2S is only 125mm long, but the G3 is even 10mm longer than that!
Does the G3 have a metal chassis, or is it only metal on the ends that you can see? Maybe if it has metal throughout the length of the body, it will be protected from bending.
Does anyone know if the G2S has any metal in the body? I can't figure out how it is made from the descriptions I've seen so far. But I really like the rest of the G2S specifications.

Edit: ignore my taglines; they are for the Pulse forum where I usually hang out

I believe that it has a metal chassis. Don't worry about bending, it doesn't

Just to clarify for everyone, I own a G3 and from what I can see it doesnt have a metal chassis. Yes the front of the phone looks metal but I believe it is just stuck on metal bits. As for the chassis, with the back off of the phone, its all plastic so unless theres a metal frame under it then I would say its plastic but overall it is an excellent quality phone and is robust.

Reganlives are you using stock rom or have you found an alternative?

G3 is better for battery life, do not use antelife as they don't reply to emails, and they have a lot if problems. Use fastcatdtech or Uredeal. Tillaz said merimobiles is good too, but I have never used it. Personally, I would use fastcardtech.

I don't have one, I'm planning to get a jiayu g4 which launches in a month or so.

I got my g3 from antelife with no problem. Took about a week to arrive.
Battery life is great as is the camera.
The screen is very responsive and smooth
