If you have a 2.x ROM then DO NOT attempt to flash that 1.X RUU. The radio is TOO OLD and you will BRICK YOUR DEVICE.
[HTC Incredible S] uqadwe:
ok, thought so, but i really can't find any solution

i can see the next posibilities :

1. gold card + wwe ruu(don't know if ota update will work)

2. cid change (don't know how and if ota update will work)

3. pay for 2.12.720.5 ruu

4. find some 3.**720.* ruu (don't know where)

could you please tell me your point of view?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Make a goldcard and flash the 3.11.405.x WWE RUU.
[HTC Incredible S] uqadwe:
i made the gold card, everything works, i am now on 3.11.405.2.

Is it normal, that the first row in the bootloader is ***LOCKED*** or

is this one of the downsides of downgrading and restocking.

I don't remember if it was originally here.

Another questions is, when the ICS OTA will be here, can i update

by OTA
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
Yeah this is normal. I'm not sure if the ICS update will come as an OTA, but as long as the bootloader is locked you should be fine installing any official updates.

Launcher of choice (atm) is Apex (Free).

It's almost perfect except that it doesn't allow you to drag-and-drop home screens. I heavily customised my main screen, before switching from 5 home screens to 3. Needless to say, it was irritating to setup everything once again.

I tried Nova, but the free version doesn't allow you to hide apps from the drawer. Deal-breaker.

I did vote for Apex, but just made the jump to Nova. I'm sooooo conflicted! I love Apex's themeing, but it's sucky on a tablet because the icons are too small. Nova has better scrolling and I prefer how quick it is... Apex=features, free, etc., Nova=speed, less redraws, better menu organization

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Rblacula:
Completely agree! Nova is the new ADW EX (awesome features, super speedy, buttery smooth) and Apex is the new Go Launcher EX (more features for free, but at the price of performance and a bit bloated, plus menu organization is awkward). I think that on some phones Apex loads better but mine seems to prefer Nova! Way less screen redraws.

Hello all,

In general, does installing applications and unstalling apps affect the phone negatively?

Lately, I am trying a lot of apps then uninstall them or some of them if i didn't like them... The phone seems ok in general but I noticed it is getting slower after that... some time delay in answering or intiating calls.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ragnar:
If your not backing out of the app you are leaving them running in the background which will create the effect you are describing. When you use any app in android hit the back key as many times as need be to back out and close the app. If you just hit the home key it will leave the app running in the background.

: i don't like the touch wiz UI;)
[Galaxy S III General] Meemo23:
Lol at least give it a chance before making such a claim. Use it when it comes out then we can say if it is shyte... There are other launchers like apex and etc..
[Galaxy S III General] mox123:
ok good point, i like the concepts though like if you are messaging then put to your ear and it calls, but im talking about the pure visual aspect of it, the icons look like they come from a 2001 nokia colour phone
[Galaxy S III General] hefonthefjords:
Icons are always customisable though with root access. I always wonder why people complain about a UI or skin when it can always be changed or removed.

Ive never used any of the previous versions of touchwiz for more than a few minutes at a time on friends' phones but have always preferred it over the other mfr UIs ive tried. Its actually one of the things im looking forward to with this.
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
pure aosp will take atleast a month or 2, team hacksung have not yet received enough donations for getting the mobile yet.

and guys the term "touchwiz" not only mentions the launcher but mentions the whole load of softwares customized by samsung like, fm radio, music player,camera app etc etc.
[Galaxy S III General] hefonthefjords:
Indeed.
[Galaxy S III General] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Wow wait.. so you've already used the new Touch Wiz? You must have to make a claim like that.. :rolleyes:

why would I use it? its all over the web the videos
[Galaxy S III General] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Not the entire UI.. little clips here and there but the fact is NONE of us have it and NONE of us have actually used the new Touchwiz UI. Its not just an icon pack ;)

Look aosp is cool, but i am that type of human that i will hardly live with only one type of ui for more than two months, first there are themes and than its big jump (like tw->cm9 or cm9->MIUI....)....so i expect i will try to stick with stock as long as possible and than go out and try some modifications :D
[Galaxy S III General] NIK516:
Im going to change just one thing , I square icons at the bottom to stock ics, and that's it. Love the drop down toggles. And some of the touchwize apps I'll just not use.

No more carrier delays for me... and I really look forward to PURE AOSP! The closest I ever got to that was with CM 7 resp. CM 9 on my S2 and Nook tablets... and I liked it a lot!

Certainly better than st*pid HTC Sense..! :p

Can't wait for next week to arrive!!!!!!
[Galaxy S III General] burner07:
why would you use a feature`less software like stock ics? i had galaxy nexus and it was boring ... tw may have bloat but it has nice features ... if you want stock buy google phone if you want sense buy htc ... simple...

plus if you look in the app drawer is ics stock like
[Galaxy S III General] omersak:
It's a matter of preference. look at the stock ICS E-mail, Contacts and messaging apps. a combination of a Beautiful, modern design with the maximum possible functionality. It just looks, feels and works so well, exactly how a modern UI should. Google really hit the ball out of the park with holo.

Now look at the TW ones - they're basically the same FroYo ones used in the previous galaxies - they don't have that stremlined, modern look of stock ICS. They look dated and ancient and do not feel like ICS at all. The messaging app especially. Black background with grey borders and ugly buttons - and yellow and cyan chat bubbles.. seriously samsung?

having said that, TW does have a very, very good launcher - very smooth and very flexible - i have no issues with that. The TW UX launcher is even better in that regard. it's the core apps that piss me off because they look ugly and dated.
[Galaxy S III General] Skunk Ape1:
It's nice that we can root, load roms and themes because I'm the opposite. I think stock ICS is butt ugly. I for one, much prefer black background and white text (inverted).

_______________

Just Flash It !!!
[Galaxy S III General] thebobp:
To be fair, maximum possible functionality requires a non-stock launcher (e.g. apex, nova), but I agree that the reason one would go for the stock look is that they have a taste for minimalistic beauty.

When we come to "tastes" and "beauty", however, there is no more room for reasoned discussion ("this is beautiful", "this is butt ugly", etc).

BATTLE of LAUNCHERS

Go Launcher Ex VS Rosie VS Apex VS Nova VS ADW VS GDE VS ZEAM VS Ts Shell VS 360 VS Spb Shell VS Panda Home VS Launcher Pro VS Launcher7 VS Android Severn Pro VS Launcher (default)

Let the battle commence

please give your reasons why
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
Go Launcher Ex, with Go Notification added on, also, skinned ics/cyanogen

Go Keyboard, skinned ics blue with arrows

Go Contacs/dialer, skinned ics blue

Go SMS, skinned ics blue

by far the most customizable, and superior launcher ui, ive tried, with loads of advanced features in all of them above, regualr updates, and hundreds and hundreds of 3rd party add-ons
[HTC EVO 3D] J3STUR:
Using nova launcher right now and I like it. Works really good. Before ICS I used adw ex and launcher pro.
[HTC EVO 3D] Volumes:
I'm using golauncher aswell, would be using others if I could, half these new launchers aren't compatible with sense 3.0
[HTC EVO 3D] jhentges:
NOVA

I have never been a fan of launchers, I like sense everytime I set up a launcher I would always go back to sense. I have found that I really like NOVA and have been using it now for a few day and I think Im actually gonna keep it.

I havent tried Apex though... going to go dl it now :)
[HTC EVO 3D] notsointeresting:
Voted for Rosie as it's the funnest to theme along with the widgets. Plus in Sense the 3D effects are much smoother than launchers with similar transitions (and it looks better imo)
[HTC EVO 3D] wjason:
Go launcher Ex. I like the widgets and themes.
[HTC EVO 3D] genuser:
I am back on ADW EX and still feel it offers the best UI with hidden dock, gestures, customizable, widget resizing, etc. Dev support is now pretty much dead unfortunately.

Still love Launcher Pro Plus. He made some great widgets, but not quite as good as ADW. Again dev support appears dead.

Go Launcher is very good, I just got sick of the bookmarks widget switching back to navigation. For a widget lover like me it's alot of options. Great support.

The ONLY thing I like about Rosie is the widgets. Best in class widgets. Can't customize, number of home screens,... Without a scrolling dock it won't suffice for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] PatrickHuey:
Used ADW alot when I was on gingerbread. But since switching to ICS I went from NOVA to Apex. To me Apex just seemed smoother.
[HTC EVO 3D] xCLUx:
One more for apex here...

here is my own personal rundown:

1. Apex

2. GO L EX

all others in my opinion lack the functionality and clean ass look of both of those. GO launcher was the only one I would even touch before ICS was available for the 3D. Apex is designed for ICS imo because it is the only OS that will run it cleanly.

Downside to both is that they are memory hogs. Apex launcher accumulates memory usage over a period of time (I have seen it as high as 60mb) but a quick restart cleans it up to 30 or so.
[HTC EVO 3D] qskile:
Rosie for me. The whole sense experience has it's detractors but it's one of the reasons why I even looked at an HTC phone. With 3.6 and 4.0 reducing the bloat and cleaning up it makes it an even more attractive option.

Yes sure it doesn't have the flexibility and functionality of other launchers but the look and the amazing widgets IMO plays a large part in making our phones stand out. It's always nice to have the choice though.
[HTC EVO 3D] kalicci:
I dont think that any launcher can beat Go Launcher Ex. Simple it's the best.
[HTC EVO 3D] Arbelzapf:
I have been using Lightning Launcher on all my devices for quite a while now.

It's blazing fast and incredibly customizable, just not as intuitive/user-friendly as popular launchers like Go Launcher.

You can have a desktop that's freely scrollable on both x and y axis. There's support for widgets, but scrollable widgets are harder to use in said free mode, obviously.

It's one of the very few launchers that's written from scratch and is not based on the stock aosp launcher. Give it a try if you want to see something new. Just don't expect the same level of user interaction that Go Launcher of even TSF Shell offer.

It takes some time to get used to it, but in my opinion, it's perfectly worth it
[HTC EVO 3D] Guich:

On my previous phone I used LPP, as it was the smoothest for that hardware. When I moved to Evo I started using Rosie but hated it from the start. I dream of fully functional AOSP where I would know that nothing is taking any of the resources for functions I don't need. And so atm I'm using apex and I love it so much.
