Go Launcher Ex all the way, just as fast as Nova or Apex but with more features. I have tried all 3 and I noticed Nova is a bit smoother than Go Launcher but I dont think its worth it to give up the customization that Goi Launcher offers
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] JawjaBill:
Nova Prime!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ingenious247:
Apex pro without a doubt
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] parmijo11:
Gotta agree with some of the others. Nova.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SpydaPig:
Apex pro here
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ipaq_101:
Tried them all, Go Launcher Ex is the best one I have used, they also have a lot of other apps, like Go SMS, Go Calender widget, that are integrated very nicely.

Give them a try and go with what suits your needs best, I did and I always went back to Go Launcher Ex.

They all copy from each other, Apex, Go, and ADW seem to have the same level of customization options, plus or minus one or two here and there.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] esteho:
Apex pro ftw. My girlfriend uses Nova and they are pretty much the same.

I was running on an ICS leak with a few quirks, so when vzw released 4.0.4 OTA, I used mattlgroff's utility to flash back to stock and updated my phone. Since then, my phone has horrible battery life and gets very hot...also powers off and back on occasionally. I am rooted (backed by voodoo) and even flashed the .215 leak hoping it would fix my issues, but no such luck. It seems to me that something is constantly running causing the heat and battery drain. Anyone else have this problem or any possible solutions?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] newowner:
My xt912 got a msg in the notification bar saying the screen was too hot and the screen would be dimmed... orange triangle notification.

I took off the case and continued to watch YouTube .. the back was hot. No shutdown.

The notification disappeared by itself, after a while.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] wcorgey:
Hmmm...I haven't seen the screen notification yet. Mine is hot more in the back like the battery. Thanks for the info tho!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] [bman123]:
So I ended up getting another infuse 4g from someone today and it was running 2.2 and a different baseband then my other infuse on 4.0.4

I ran a speed test in the same spot as the other infuse and the one running 2.2 got almost 4,000 kbps compared to the other only scoring 2,500

Can the baseband really make that big of a difference? As much as I want to put a different rom and root this other infuse I am really hesitant because my signal is so much better on it
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rkkaranrk:
Base band shows the modem u have on ue phone, Modem version does makes different modern gives u different speed in or area.

Hey guys, now that we can backup our IMEI (Thanks to peoplearmy and geek!) I feel like flashing roms like a mad man. But before I start I was wondering if theres any differences between the CWM and TWRP? I want to be able to backup my current stock state and flash new roms.

Still new and it's taking a bit of time learning the vast ocean of android modding/development. When I hear people saying backup your stock rom before flashing, does this mean basically backing up the system or EVERYTHING including apps, music, sms etc? Correct me if I'm wrong but backing up with CWM or TWRP basically means just the system recovery kinda backup right? Like the CD's manufacturers give you when you first purchase a laptop.

Okay so if I'm correct on that, it basically means that if I were to flash a new rom or revert back to my stock rom. I'll lose all the files I've added on to the device aside from the factory starter apps/settings right? If this is the case than I would have to use QCOM Toolkit by mskip or titanium backup to backup all my apps (while i would have to manually backup photos,sms,music,videos etc through just normal USB?) or does our files get transferred over as well? I doubt that since it's basically a new "OS" right?

lol it's pretty cool learning all these new ideas as it'll be beneficial to everyone and myself on how to fully use the android phones. Now say if I want to switch roms with ease, is there such feature?

Last but not least, can all this be done with just the internal memory? I currently don't have any micro sd cards and waiting for the price drop on the 64gb sandisk because I have a huge playlist of FLAC files to add (living in Canada sometimes suck... all the good deals especially free shipping is in the usa lol..)

Thanks again xda-community :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
The differences in the recoveries that will matter for you, is that you're going to have an SD card in the future, currently only recovery 5.8.4.5 supports SD card in FAT32 format, later version recoveries don't have extSD support, the 5.8.4.5 images and zips are HERE

So after you've followed the root no-trip counter method, which is what is recommended, you can flash a different recovery from that thread, or just download the zip of the one you want, the recovery is inside the zip and can be pushed via ADB... refer to mrRobinson's thread for help with all that, and links to images... It'll need a recovery after getting rooted, might as well put the proper one on then...

Performing a backup is done from recovery, do an nandroid backup, it backs up the present state of your phone, so if you restore to it, it will be exactly like it was, when you backed it up...

No need for the toolkit, use Titanium Backup to backup apps or apps data if you want to restore them on a new ROM, and it's only recommended to back up USER apps and data, nothing system related, it will cause issues... The paid version is highly recommended if you're going to be relying on backups of your apps and such... I personally don't use it...

Without the SD, yea you'll be using internal memory... and it'll fill up quick with nandroids and ROMs... I never made an nandroid for my phone, but im sure its well over a gig in size...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Dave the Knave:
You are correct. Its quite a large file. Around 1.6GB

Sent from my GS3
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Intercrew:
Is there a specific reason why the toolkit isn't recommended? Wouldn't it be easier to just backup all the stuff to the pc?

Now if I can backup all the nandroid, ROMs, and app&data through to the pc. Then titanium wouldn't be needed and the differences between the TWRP and CWM would be non? And is it okay to have the nandroid and ROM backup on the computer and not the device or sd card, or is it a good idea to keep it on the deivce/sdcard? If thats the case I will go with the link you gave me which is 5.8.4.5 CWM, (not sure the difference between the Touch and just normal, and which one I should downloaded out of the three (I own the Telus which should be equivalent to the AT&T))

Lastly, you mentioned if I wanted a different recovery I would go and flash the one in Robinson's thread (which i did on my last root but un-rooted and went to factory after having some issues with the homescreen). The ones in his thread aren't SD-card compatibility are they? or Are they?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
Just follow his steps to get it rooted and install a recovery, his thread is using a 5.8.4.5 version, you'll be fine with the SD card... keep at least one working nandroid on you device... and it's not that toolkit isn't recommended, it's highly useful, but to me thats one extra time you're hooking your phone to computer, doing something... just make sure it isn't backing up / restoring system apps, and only user apps... If you just want to feel safer and stuff, use to toolkit to back up what you'd like, and keep a working nandroid on your phone... It's all user preference, I never back anything up... some people back up everything they possibly can...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Intercrew:
lol okay thanks a lot mate :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Intercrew:
I just have one last concern is it a good idea to make a nandroid backup while your in a different ROM from stock? Like for example if I downloaded some apps, got new sms, new settings etc and wanted it to maintain even though I switched ROMs or go back to stock, everything would transfer over but the ROM that I was in before (Kyan in this case) would also transfer so stuff like (apps) gallery, google chrome, google music, and other things that were special to the custom ROM?

If this is true, I guess the best thing to do is make a backup before switching ROM's than make separate backups of all the apps+data, sms etc before switching to either a stock or another custom ROM?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
All ROM devs recommend that you make an nandroid before flashing their ROM just in case you need it... Most people made one on stock, and everytime before they flash something else... Like I said, I never make one, if I have issues I'll fix it some other way... and the backup will restore EVERYTHING back to exactly as it was when you made it... which is also why you don't need to backup apps with toolkit, etc... just make nandroids, and use TiBu for other stuff...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Intercrew:
Yes I know that, but what I mean is, is it okay to make a nandroid backup while your on a different ROM, and once you switch ROM is it safe to restore the nandroid you made backup of while in a different ROM?

Cause like you said and other the nandroid backups EVERYTHING to exactly how it was before. So that means the stuff that weren't or were in different ROMS will appear/disappear in the other ROM's I'm using?

EDIT: I'm just curious weather or not if I have to reinstall all the new apps i've downloaded and sms backup while in a different ROM to prepare myself for the reset on the new ROM
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
No don't restore the nandroid unless you want to go back, or something has gone wrong and you have to... If you want to backup your apps and app data use Titanium Backup...

thank you lol :)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] electech13:
Be careful as telus is NOT exactly the same as at&t. I'm rogers and although yes we have to use the at&t forum 747 and our 747m phones do have a few key differences so be careful. The cwm recovery is actually an older version that works for us as we can't install the newest version. And our modem or broadband is DIFFETENT then at&T's so that has to be remembered when flashing roms and mod'ing. Just some advise to remember with our Canadian variants.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
Wow... I undertsood what you were saying... but then i dismissed it as drunken typing with nothing that makes sense... I understood you..

CWM 5.8.4.5 supports extSD

Modem doesn't have to be changed, so it has nothing to do with it...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bakasam:
Just out of curiousity for those using CWM:

Does your nandroid backup have incorrect date stamps?

Mine says my phone was backup in the 1970s :D

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
You can use newest version if you want, but only 5.8.4.5 supports extSD :good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] electech13:
Are u sure the newest cwm works on the 747m variant? I was informed ( on several posts) that it doesn't and will cause problems and a few have posted them. Keep in mind this is the Canadian version not at&t. Even in the root sticky for this747m device it talks about this and why it gives the install instructions for the earlier version for our devices. Sure I could be wrong but there is plenty on this site to support what I'm saying.

---------- Post added at 05:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:31 AM ----------

Lol..I now get why u were saying this...I apologize cuz I just realized that i was talking about the modems in this thread and that was an accident...when I was replying here I had a lot of reply windows open and got mixed up..(I'm not a drinker btw so no drunken typing btw) ..but just as a very general point it still applies..be careful with "some at&t roms" as there are some differences that could cause issues...that's all..but as for cwm rec..its all good and I will have to look into this again about the latest versions because I was under the impression from some here that it is not advised...maybe wrongly. Thanks and I'll check it out.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
Well I can't confirm whether it will work flawlessly like on an AT&T phone, or will it produce assert errors, because I don't have a Canadian variant... and mostly because I don't come into the Q/A forum very often, and read the threads... I'll just check to see if it's swamped the I'll help out...but the fact still remains that only 5.8.4.5 supports extSD.... Try one of these CWM recoveries, flash it in your current recovery... Worst that will happen is that you'll be changing recoveries again, if it throws script / assert errors...

Possibly someone with an I747M can chime in about which 5.8.4.5 to use for extSD support...

No i havent. People seem to be saying Blaze's Mod one is the only or at least best one. I mean...the 4G is there.....but no signal bars. Why would that be tho?

Oh..its unlocked using T Mobile now. If that helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] phoneguy 4567:
I suspect the signal meter with with blaze mod is not that accurate. I routinely get in the a high percentage under cell standby time without signal, even in areas I know I have service. These are areas I spend multiple hours at a time at making and receiving calls.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DJR0D:
Man..i dont know. Something is funny with this. When i turn my WiFi off....the 4G comes on...no signal bars...Market take a while to load. Few apps even timed out.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kishke:
By saying 4G do you mean LTE or HSPA+?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DJR0D:
It just shows 4G at the top. Is there another symbol? In my settings...about phone....it says Mobile Network Type:UMTS:3. I did see HSPA earlier for a bit. Guess i still have some fiddling to do. Wonder if there is another Radio that may give me more Bars. Mine shows 1 or none. But has the 4G symbol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kishke:
on skyrocket 4G isn't actually 4G it shows it when your connected to HSPA and I think also GSM not sure about the latter.

When your connected to LTE it will show 4G LTE.

Also by choosing WCDMA your actually choosing HSPA or at least that's how it looks to me.

Try different radios before working by stuff you read people say, each phone has different hardware, everyone leaves in different areas and thus each modem works differently for different people.

Also download network signal app from the market and check your dbm which means your reception, you can't count on bars because it's programmed differently for each modem -65 dmb and lower(or higher if your a match freak) is excellent -65 to -75 is good and the close it is to -100 is the worse reception you have.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DJR0D:
Hmmm. True. Man..im tired of swapping all these Radios. Wanna find one that works decent at least. Some people say they get 1 to no bars in the house like i do. Then go outside an get 3 Bars. Im gonna download that Signal app. Sounds very interesting. I have it on LTE in the *#2263* now. Let me try the signal thing. Thanks man.

[Edit] Love the Network Signal Info Pro. Even tho its showing a frown for my mobile. But WiFi really good. I saw some Network Signal Boosters. I mean...do those really work if anyone know? Tried 2...didnt really see anything.

Hope someone can help.

I have been using the phone for over a week and last night i decided to give it to my girlfriend. So i wiped the data a factory reset it. I have been using the custom firmware. So upon the reboot it didnt boot into android. So then i reflashed the custom firmware in the custom recovery mode but then i lost access to the sd card and ext storage partitions....So i used the flash tool and obtained the original firmware but i get the same problem plus the camera no longer works.

The original firmware i flashed it is: 20120706_e1809c_v77_lx529_x710d2.rar but there is a newer one that i cant find called 20120713-e1809c-v77-lx529-x710d2.zip which im hoping will fix my problem
