I agree with zeam being underpowered, and ICS launcher being cheap and gimmicky. Both didn't impress me.

I like launcherpro, but for some reason it eats the crap out of my battery.

Go launcher is my go to, seems to have the best battery life even though i know it's more cpu intensive than the others. Also, has similar customization abilities to launcherpro which I like.

Haven't played around with ADW much, and to me, Launcher7 just isn't anywhere near where it would need to be. Just doesn't compare to the smoothness of an actual WP7, and there are still a lot of inconsistencies. If it was as smooth, I would accept the reduced customization, but since it isn't, it's a no-go.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Nordendorf:
From browsing XDA the last few months, ADW and GO seem to be the most popular, but I prefer Launcher Pro. If GO launcher had better tray options I would probably use that though.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] trdsnow:
Like many of you ... I've tried them all. I still switch around to different launchers ever couple of weeks. However, the launcher of choice for me is still launcher pro. Its the smoothest one of the bunch even tho the developer stopped supporting it.

My experiences has been different than some of the others. launcher pro actually gives me the beat battery life and go/adw gives me bad battery life.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tazbo28:
+1 for go launcher.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dustinhayes93:
Launcher pro is my favorite!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Simba501:
ADW EX

Zeam

LauncherPro

In that order.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] verticae:
ADW Ex right now.

Used to be on Go Launcher Ex, but I experienced a lot of slowdowns.. Might try it again after a new flash though.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jmatt78:
I love adw personally nothing else compares in my opinion.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] etbob623:
In this order:

ICS Stock

SPB Shell 3d

Go Launcher

yep.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] devgee:
Why do all launchers have some kind of lagging ?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] verticae:
I find that a lot of times, what is experienced as 'lag' is actually just the animations some of the launchers provide. Those tend to take a little bit to complete, and unless you disable them or speed them up, they become an annoyance.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mejori:
i have used launcher pro since my first android(first day) so much that i forgot how to use TW ..lol its smooth for me and the customization is also really nice imo.. no battery issues for me with launcher pro!!:D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xDa.Fun:
I have tried many launchers (and still hunting in free time)

Till now for me whenever I install a new launcher every time i have to set back to "Nemus Launcher" :D

It is free on android market

Small Size 1.5mb

Simple and nice interface

15 dock option

Customizable grids, App locker.

Ability to add customizable folder under application menu.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] EXPERIMENT:
Upon your recommendation I just installed Nemus, and so far I like it ;)

Thanks

I really liked FTL as a lightweight launcher
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
Well i recently started using balancer launcher, and it seems pretty stable and it gets the job done. The launcher has a built in file browser that you can get to by pressing the "menu" soft key that is all the way to the left next to the "home"soft key. Its a small size only 1.86 mb. it is fairly simple, but it has some features others dont have (file browser), its smooth and doesnt effect my battery...at least that i can notice. I believe it is relativly new so it can only get better :P

[Samsung Infuse 4G] xDa.Fun:
Welcome BIGfau.

I have tested Ez Launcher. I liked its fresh interface and it seems quite good. Since it is a new app and beta release, in future it can be more better. i will also keep my eye on that. Thanks for sharing your views.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] threi_:
Used all of em, i think they are all good and can be used (although i don't see the point in zeam...you aren't really gaining much from the smaller memory footprint)

I recently switched from GO to ADW because ADW supports less than 5 icons in the dock (without leaving a space) and handles dock icon size better. Those two are my favorites though because they handle folders really well. I also realized that for the majority of launchers not keeping them in memory (a.k.a. allowing other apps to take the memory) makes all of them run more stable.

TW4 is also really nice but pretty unstable.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rob1216:
Adw ex is the smoothest launcher after tweeking it, in settings turn desktop scrolling speed all the way down and drawer zoom speed all the way down and changing drawer to 4d vertical then nothing is faster or smoother IMO
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jayRokk:
Adw EX landscape mode only

No dock no status bar

Elegance theme

Multi Live wallpaper

Adw trasition effect- cubed

Muti live wallpaper transition- outside cube =

3D UI

Really neat how it all plays together

:)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] aaanadie:
Nemus Launcher

This launcher have same functionality of GoLauncherEx, but is faster and lighter, very very responsive.

I tested a lot of launchers, because my priority is responsiveness.

Zeam have the smallest installer so I was surprised when found Nemus perform faster.

Xperia is very fast too, but lacks some functionality, so winner is Nemus in my opinion (fast as xperia, full of features but no bloatware).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t4ure4n:
Good Afternoon All,

I have just bought a new SGS2 White and I already have SGS2 Black.

My question is

how do I copy every thing from my old SGS2 to new SGS2.

How can I remove all my data and factory rest my old SGS2.

The old SGS2 was T-Mobile UK branded but I installed UK Unbranded Firmware on it..So

Does Factory rest reverts it to T-Mobile Firmware

Do I loose root.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMrB:
Just backup with titanium or something and save on your sd card... put that sd card in your new phone - restore...

Sync contacts to google - any particular data your referring to?

Factory reset will wipe all data etc - if you want stock firmware etc flash a stock rom

If your rooted im sure you could figure out how to reset - if not - google will have the answers if you search

Edit - could also be done through nandroid too if you have cwm etc

Note - don't restore system apps!!!! will cause problems
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bionemesis:
Just out of curiosity, with regards to not restoring system apps. Is there no way to restore everything to a new device, ala iTunes and an iPhone? I don't need to do this, but I always assumed you *could*.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
1) To copy your old SGS2 to your new SGS2, do a Nandroid/CWRecovery backup of your old one & copy this backup to your external SD card, root your new one, put the SD card in and restore the backup of your old phone to your new phone with CWRecovery.

2) Flash a stock rom, do a factory reset.

3) No. You want T-Mobile firmware back on it, you need to find T-Mobile firmware and flash it (hint: search on here). If you flash stock firmware back onto your phone, yes you'll lose root.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMrB:
Why would you need to restore system apps? Sms' can be backed up, contacts and calender and mail can go with you to any phone thanks to being synced with google...

You can use nandroid but make sure you have the same version you are restoring from and to - i personally don't think it's too much hassle to set up a phone again - full wipe flash and im back to normal in 30 mins
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bionemesis:
Oh, I agree, it's very little hassle. I've been across several roms and backed up certain applications but almost always started fresh. Which is why I had to ask, I've never had to do that kind of restore before. I just find it interesting that a full restore like that can't be accomplished in the same way that you can with an iPhone. Thanks for the info though.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t4ure4n:
I want to move contacts, messages, whatsapp and Game save data etc..

Between Titanium Pro and Nandroid/CWRecovery which one is easier?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Contacts will move the second you sign into your google account. They are synched to google automatically. Messages you will either need to use Titanium Backup, or something like SMS Backup+. (which backs up your SMS to your GMail account, and can restore from there as well) Game save data, you will need Titanium Backup.

Depends on what you want. Titanium is for individual apps. CWM recovery can do the whole phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bionemesis:
That isn't always true. I would strongly recommend confirming that your Google account is configured to sync your contacts. Some people disable that and then don't realize, and lose their contacts. Better safe than sorry.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
I stand corrected. This is true. I answered the way I answered operating on the assumption that the poster doesn't seem to be someone who would know to disable contact sync though.

No offense, OP.

Idolian Turbotab C8

Here we go!

I bought an idolian turbotab c8 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007REMD84/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00)

Seemed like a great buy. Company said it had google play and flash support, etc with ICS...It does, only they don't work, even when I've reset it several times. Their tech support isn't that tech saavy.

So, I figured I would try installing Clockwork recovery mod and CM-9 for the LY-F1, which was a very similiar model and give it a shot, if not, then I could install the stock rom from the idolian website: http://www.idolian.com/downloads.aspx

I'm using ubuntu 12.04 LTS and sdk-tools with adb.

Through the command prompt, I've downloaded CWM recovery from here:

http://www.tekunix.com/downloads/CWMRecovery.rar

and CM9 via here: http://www.mirrorcreator.com/files/X...9_v9.zip_links

All of which was referenced by this forum: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1662324&page=11

Which has been very helpful.

First can someone tell me what this means because I can't find accurate information about this and also could I sell a phone with a bad esn?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _TXN_:
It means the account the phone was on is not in good standing with Sprint. You can sell it y o somebody who is going to flash to Cricket or some company like that. Make sure you disclose the Bad ESN to the buyer.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
Yep, Sprint has flagged it either because of lack of payment on the account, or leaving without paying an etf. The ONLY was to remove the esn block is to have the original owner settle the debt with Sprint. Otherwise you can use it as a media player/web browser on wifi only.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeslieAnn:
After a few months, you can actually get the ESN put back in good standing if it is bad due to payment reasons. You may have to pay someone a few bucks to get it done, but it is legal and cheaper than paying off the bill.

Otherwise, you have a toy, or you can sell it to someone else who wants to swap carriers, fix it, or do other things with it.

If the ESN is flagged as stolen though, there are fewer options, but you can still get some money out of it if nothing else.
[HTC Wildfire S] tashiwfs:
Hi, I have one question. I have Wildfire S powered by CM 7.2 (Alquez). Battery use shows me that display drains battery by 85%. Is this normal?
[HTC Wildfire S] MrTaco505:
May not be correct. Go into recovery/advance/Wipe Battery Stats. Then reboot and your battery stats will be refreshed and corrected.
[HTC Wildfire S] tashiwfs:
I tried that, still the same. Display drains 85%.
[HTC Wildfire S] intel007:
That's right! the screen is the biggest drain on battery as your screen is on the whole time your doing stuff eg. Games, browser, videos etc.

Only when in standby is it off hence the reason battery can last a very long time in sleep.

In stock rom's it doesn't show the screen in battery usage but if it did I'm sure it would be very similar.

Hi! I recently started to use Launcher 7, and i findout that i liked the feeling and smoothness of the launcher, but i didn't really like the look of the tiles & icons.

So i made some icons for it, that i'd love to share with all of you.

Version 1.1 - Right now there is 111 icons.

Se full list of icons included here: http://www.fileden.com/files/2009/4/20/2411448//launcher7icon.txt

Download: http://www.fileden.com/files/2009/4/20/2411448//Marts-Tile-Pack-Version-1.1.rar

Simply download the file above, and extract it to a new folder on your SD-card.

To apply an icon, add any application from the drawer to a tile, then in the tile settings change icon to the one you want, and change the extra setting to "Whole/full tile bitmap".

Please leave feedback. Requests are very welcome. ;)
