[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bunglebp:
Touchwiz just works well with phone and its fast or SPB shell as its good eye candy :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TurkXtreme:
what do you think about yandex?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonetti2011:
Well said... I used to love GO Launcher, but it has become so filled with useless crap that I gave up using it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TurkXtreme:
go launcher is laggy man
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A|ex:
i use launcher pro as i think i purchased it for 10p ages ago and it allows me to shrink icons/ space etc so i can have more on my screen and more in the dock etc.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
I still think apex or nova is superior,but 360 launcher is also nice and has some cool transitions
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josefmawas:
I bought Nova for nexus 7 and tried it on galaxy s3 and i must say I just missed touchwiz, I prefer touchwiz because of the elegant design, light and fastness
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pard0ned:
I'm really liking touchwizz myself. Never thought I would.

Samsung seems to have done something right with this version. I also tried pretty much every launcher there was. My favorite was apex until I got my GS3. but touchwizz just feels "right".
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sammy.sung.me.a.song:
Same here. Would have been happily using the TW launcher if not for moving to CM ROMs.

I prefer whichever came with the ROM. I'm used to the CM's default trebuchet, and I've also used the TW launcher with minimal complaints.

Yes... when your launcher is so slow that it lags on a dual-core proc? Where is that uninstall button?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chaitanyapatel8880:
Apex launcher is the best. If your phone is rooted than you can use Titanium backup pro to convert the Apex Launcher apk to the SYSTEM APP and it will work perfectly fine and faster...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anurag549:
Try holo launcher hd plus its minimal and fast and absolutely no lag
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donutkidd:
360 launcher is indeed one of the best launcher I ever used, just so smooth but my gripe with it is the fact that it's not translated into English
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidsnew:
Used since ICS Nova for my old S1 and for my new S3. Changed some weeks ago for TSF Shell.. Costs around ten bucks I think, but has several nice features (I love the folder option) and works flawlessy on S3 with livewallpaper. Doesn't suck so much battery as thought...

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acidpunk:
Personally I like the AOSP Launcher

The CM10 Trebuchet Launcher

Apex & Nova

As for TouchWizz the launcher isn't the problem, it's the ridiculous amount of crap that comes with it that slows down the device, well that and I can't move the Menu button to the middle like Stock Jelly Bean

But to be honest it's all down to personal taste, I prefer the Google Experience cause I use most of their apps, I have 0 time for the Samsung experience stuff. I mean seriously S-Voice over Google Now :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosraptor:
For now i use Nova Prime. But from what little i have used TW in JB roms i will be using TW when official rom comes out.

But in the end it is all up to you!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
Absolutely. The JB version is even nicer. This is the first version of TW I've actually preferred to use over third party launchers. It's really nice and very fast.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mantis64:
I use Apex and I'm very happy with it, no lag and nice features.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
Look no further, might not be the most popular but is certainly one of,if not the best :good:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RorixRebel:
if only you could change icons with TW...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sermonth:
I am using Holo Launcher hd for a while. I think its really good and enough.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baldilocks:
I prefer Nova Launcher (Apex is nearly identical though.)

I love how I can make my own tabs in the App Drawer instead of only being able to make folders.

Also love that I can change my icons easily with icon packs with Nova.

And Nova is much more fluid than Touchwiz. Heck, I have Touchwiz disabled with Titanium. Saves some RAM too. ;)~

Hi all,

very new Nexus 7 owner here, just picked it up 30 mins ago, before i get too much data on it i wanted to get it rooted and install paranoid android however the links under the developer forum to download don't appear to work?

can anyone help? i can't post there as this is my first post :)

Thanks

I use GooManager app. It helps sometimes if the links aren't working for some reason. Plus it downloads directly on your device so you can avoid copying.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
wrong thread and why dont ask in general chat?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] bencallis:
I have been having a look on Alibaba to see what manufacturers are coming up with and I stumbled across this http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/625190932/Google_nexus_7_case_leather_case.html.

They seem to have got it spot on. Sadly I can't find any stockists yet on ebay or amazon.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] myke66:
Oh I like this style, reply if you find a place to purchase!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] NicoGa:
It was already proposed

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31250411&postcount=12

along with a similar one but the problem is that you need to buy at least 100 ... wholesale manufacturer :(

I asked the manufacturer (one week ago) if the cover properly fold all the way back, and if the auto sleep/wake function is triggered when the cover is fold back. still waiting for the answer. I also asked the ebay seller US Mobile Mall if they were interested in selling them, but no answer ... :(

Speaking of similar cases from alibaba wholesale seller I also found:

http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/603508835/LEATHER_CASE_for_GOOGLE_NEXUS_7.html

http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/624912357/luxury_smart_standing_PU_leather_case.html

http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/618145751/PU_Leather_Stand_Case_Smart_Cover.html

Well so I kept searching and finally found those two cases that share the same properties (and can be bought at one by one):

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Canv...r-fresh-style-folding-skin-new/620802927.html

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Smar...-ultra-thin-skin-free-shipping/620851791.html

The last one look awesome! It is slightly expensive but it seems to worth it. I would love to see a review and more pictures of that case.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Cool lookin! I wouldn't mind getting this one as a backup.

I couldn't find anywhere that sells them either.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ppp38:
This is the best case yet and you only need to buy 20 cases. Its too bad I can't get a sample cuz Id definately buy 20 cases and sell them on Ebay if I knew that they were atleast the quality of those Blurex/Moko/IBlason Slim Folio Cases.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] tetchystar:
While I really like the originally posted case, that second-last one that you posted, NicoGa (canvas-style), is a dream case for me. I was looking for something softer, but most cases are either black/white leather or hot colours, so that very pretty case you found is perfect for me! Thanks a lot. I will order one and see how it works out.

That last case is also very nice, I like the gold colour a lot.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] irishrally:
I prefer the official Asus Nexus Travel Cover to this.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kackburt:
Any news on that case? Anyone found it on ebay yet?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] SeaFractor:
IT's not leather, it's FAKE!!!

Darn,

Just like some other vendors from the east, this one is also advertised all over as leather until you dig way down into the specifications.

Item name Google nexus 7 case, leather case for google nexus 7

Item number ST-GN7-CA018B

Materials PU

PU stands for.... drum roll please....... Poly Synthetic Leather. There's not even an atom of cow hide in that case. It's just like it sounds, pee yew.

Bad form Sintech!!!!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kackburt:
Not everyone needs a pure leather casing, I am totally fine with PU in this case. The outside doesn't even look like leather anyways.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] SeaFractor:
I don't disagree with what you posted, I also have a PU case (Blu-Rex slim fit). It's that the OP was sure it wasn't "pleather", Rather than someone rushing out to purchase what they thought was a "real leather" case, it would be better if they purchased it for it's other merits, since it is not "real leather".
[Nexus 7 Accessories] danscxda:
I like the design of this case. I can deal with the PeeeYuuuu pleather to have the bezel free design.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] shuiguo:
Oh I like this style, reply if you the find a place to purchase! Ebay and Amazon does not have any news Why?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Dorkington:

I wish the op would update the subject.... Pleather is not leather.

[HTC Sensation] christian666:
Hi all,

I'm running

cm-9.1.0-pyramid

But now I need to flash my sensation 4g to the original stock Rom from t mobile.

My guess is that sensation 4g stock original from now is ICS. (don't know where to find it), I don't have my back up stock rom

Can anyone point me where I can find it?

Thank you all for your help
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] overtheair:
Why post two identical threads on this?

Either you have insurance or you don't. You imply that your first Nexus S 4G was replaced by insurance. So if in fact you do still have insurance coverage (aka TEP) on your Sprint line that the Nexus S 4G is on, all you have to do is go to http://phoneclaim.com/sprint to file a claim and pay your $100 deductible. You can file up to 3 insurance claims in a 12 month period.

Is your complaint over the fact that a store in another state would charge you $100 to replace the phone? What are you complaining about? That's the cost of the insurance deductible. Were you expecting to have your broken screen replaced for free?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r0th:
Hi all,

First of all, as it's my first post here, I would like to say that all the stuff here is great, and thank you everyone for sharing all of this.

I have a problem with my S3 : I can't access to the hidden menu to get the "Qualcomm USB Settings".

I tried this found on the forum, but this doesn't work :

I tried this on Omega rom (v13.1) and on a stock rom without success, anyone have a solution to make this work ?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
"Qualcomm USB Settings".

Big guess you failed to read the sticky at the top of the page .

You do not have a I9300 but some other version .

If that's the case firmware from this forum will brick your phone .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r0th:
Hi JJEgan and thanks for replying.

Actually I'm still surfing on the forum and found out that Qualcomm USB Settings seems only available for USA and Canada, but I have an international i9300.

In fact I loss my IMEI while flashing (without backup of EFS folder....) and try to restore it without success for the moment..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r0th:
I found out that I lost IMEI when I installed Omega ROM, but I DID do a backup of EFS (just emembered..) and just restored it..

Sorry but this thread is useless could an admin deete it ?

Sorry again.
[HTC Sensation] dancnpete:
I've been using opensensation for a while now and I've tried using the latest TAMCORE kernel but whenever I open chrome it becomes molasses. When I switch down to version .38 the slow down goes away. Does anyone one else experience this? Just trying to see if it is something on my end.
[HTC Sensation] blahbl4hblah:
This should be asked in questions and answers

Sent from my Sensation
[HTC Sensation] Abaddon:
Wrong section.ugh
[HTC Sensation] fandroid93:
I have had nothing but problems with Tamcore on AOKP with my configuration, I think its more of a problem on my end than it is on his kernel. But I switched to CM9 and am running the stock kernel with no problems. My dad on the other hand can run AOKP with Tamcore fine, I don't know what the difference is. I've never tried open sensation so I can't vouch for that. What gov. are you using?

Ohh and BTW, if a mod doesn't get this thread moved soon, your going to get a new one ripped by all the 12 year old 'devs' who will yell at you because this is the Dev section, if they were a real dev they'd politley tell you "wrong section, try to post in the Q&A forum first, but heres the problem.." After doing so, they'll most likely refer you to their donate button in their signature in case one of their 13 posts have helped you or someone else.

- Just a heads up.
[HTC Sensation] dancnpete:
Thanks for the help, frankly I find it quite difficult to know where to start a discussion nowadays. I'm not a developer so I should have started this in the Q&A section (I know that now). thank you for politely showing me the way.
[HTC Sensation] fandroid93:
No problem man. I wish I could help more.
[HTC Sensation] TamCore:
If you think it's a bug in my kernel (however, I don't have a device with this problem), create an entry in my bugtracker and provide real infos (every other report would get ignored and closed). Currently you tell us nothing about your settings.
[HTC Sensation] fandroid93:
I don't think my particular problems are with your kernel but I think they are from my configuration. Like I said, my dad runs your kernel just fine but whatever I must do with system kill must cause problems with your kernel. I should have been more specific before I said "I have nothing but problems with TamCore" because at one point TamCore was the only kernel I ran because it was so smooth and had no issues whatsoever, its definitely more of a problem on my end, not yours.
[HTC Sensation] TamCore:
Maybe. But the OP is just asking. He could get more help if he would tell us a bit about his settings.
[HTC Sensation] dancnpete:
and this is where my ignorance kicks in, what particular info would you like, I assume I'd have to do a logcat, but I've never done one before, should I reload the .42 kernel and try running chrome with a program like catlog running? thanks again for your work and your help,
[HTC Sensation] TamCore:
Lets start with simple infos like CPU Settings. (Min/Max Freq, Governor, Scheduler, all you find)

blahbl4hblah made a nice guide for this :) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1616059

Try to reproduce your problem with every release that is newer than the .38 one. This would help very much.

Today I give you, Fabrik Reader 2.0! With completely redesigned UI and a render engine that can handle CSS. Read more here.

You might ask, we already got at least 10 different book readers in the android world, why another one? Well, here is thing, among all those 10 different book readers, I just can't find one that really suits me, so I decided to build my own, and here we are :)

Now, what's so different about Fabrik Reader? Let me ask you a question first, do you really want that much custom preferences in a book reader? Or do you want a book reader that just works beautifully out of the box? Fabrik Reader is definitely not the most feature rich book reader, and what Fabrik Reader gives you, is a really premium, yet really simple user experience. With Fabrik Reader, you get:

★ Complete synchronization of the entire reading experience with your Dropbox. That means, all your books, as well as all your reading progress. So you can use as many devices to read as you want, and everything will just keep in sync automatically.

★ A beautiful interface that will make your reading experience really premium, and easy on your eye.

★ Find covers for your book automatically which make your book looks even better.

★ Share your reading progress(with a beautiful book cover).

★ Some more general stuff in an ebook reader, like adjust text size, screen brightness, night model, etc.

★ Support txt, epub, mobi format (and more will come in the future).

Again, if you want a beautiful book reader that works out of the box, and keeps everything in sync, I think Fabrik Reader is just the way to go. So why not give it a shot? It's free any way!

Want to know more? Here you go: Fabrik Reader on Play Store, Blog, Twitter

[NOTICE] Hi guys, sorry I'm not able to reply every single one of your posts like before. It's just that there are too many of them now and I want to spend as much time as I have to developing Fabrik Reader and make it better. I've posted on the blog a feature request summary. Thank you for your support.
[Android Apps and Games] rajitsingh:
Its installing as I type. :)
[Android Apps and Games] eirikrwu:
So I guess marketing really do works... Any way, thank you very much! It's a little project of mine, please let me know what you think!
[Android Apps and Games] Kaer84:
It looks good.

Should post a picture to improve the marketing!

The Dropbox synchronisation feature is cool and something that other readers are lacking.

What about DRM support? Can it open books from Overdrive libraries?
[Android Apps and Games] eirikrwu:
Thank you very much for posing a picture for me! I'm sorry it does not support DRM or OPDS right now, but I'll definitely add them in future release. Now it's only a beta version, I wanted to get some ideas about what people think about this whole design, so it's a little bit pre-mature. More futures will definitely keep coming!
[Android Apps and Games] dilfatx:
So far works great! Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] LordManhattan:
I really like the design :) I have imported a couple of epub's that i had on my SD, so i'll take it out for a spin later.

One request though: Multi select books to import, and also be able to select and import entire folders (i have 20 epub's in one folder)
[Android Apps and Games] eirikrwu:
Glad you like it ;)
[Android Apps and Games] eirikrwu:
Great advice! I'll definitely put it in my todo list. I also think that it may be cool to have something like if you put some book in a dedicated folder in your dropbox, synchronization will automatic import them. So one more for my todo list!
[Android Apps and Games] LordManhattan:
Yes, that sounds great! Thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] jackmann:
Great independent book reader! Love it!
[Android Apps and Games] MujtabaSabir:
Like the UI of the reader but don't know why it Force closes each time when i try to open an epub file of 12 mb.
[Android Apps and Games] LordManhattan:
New update on the Play Store. Quick update, just how we like it :)
[Android Apps and Games] maxjk:
Looks pretty good, loving the holo-design and animations. The dropbox-sync works great.

Couple of requests:

-I do not particularly like the striped day-theme, could you please have a white background option?

-Please add landscape support, I kinda like that on my tablet (especially the way Aldiko create 2 columns)

-Add support for table of contents

Gonna try this as my main ebook-reader for a while, been using Aldiko so far, but I really like the dropbox integration here
[Android Apps and Games] eirikrwu:
Sorry about that. I don't think my algorithm can handle an epub file that size just right now(of course in future release this will change). It would be really slow... but it should not be crashing. Is it possible to send me the epub file you are trying to open? Or may be show me the crush log? I did not receive any crush log from the android developer console yet.
[Android Apps and Games] eirikrwu:
Thank you for trying my app. All your requests have been noted and put into my todo list :)
[Android Apps and Games] conantroutman:
This looks pretty sweet :D

I've added a Play Store link into the OP for you ;)
[Android Apps and Games] MujtabaSabir:
Thanks. The book is Game of Thrones - 4 Book Bundle pack. I have sent the crash log now.
[Android Apps and Games] eirikrwu:
Greate! I really appreciate that!
[Android Apps and Games] eirikrwu:
Got the crash report, thx! It's an out of memory error. I'll try to solve this. But if it's related to the algorithm, it could take a while...
[Android Apps and Games] dbareis:
I just found this reader and its looking very good except that it misses OPDS (and therefore Calibre) support. Just wanted to add my vote for this feature :) I'll be watching the development and will continue to use Aldiko until then.

This reader also has the same "feature" that Aldiko has and that is you can tap left and right side of screen to page backwards and forwards but it also supports "extremely short swipes" which means that when tapping, the app can often thinks you swiped and pages back when you are trying to page forwards. It shouldn't be that sensitive! I'd have though some reasonable percentage of the screen width (rather than maybe 1mm) should be required to call it a swipe. In any case I'd like an option to turn off this swipe gesture, I'm happy to tap.

The DropBox (cloud) support is the main reason I'm looking for Aldiko alternatives as the new version kills Aldiko Sync (without rooting anyway).
[Android Apps and Games] kiitick:
Loving it

I'm really liking this app, purchased it after 2 minutes of playing with it.

One thing that I cannot figure out is how to get it to simply honor my file structure. I export my books using calibre, and put them in /author/series/seriesnumber_title This just makes it easy to find the next book in a series. When I export my books though, it puts the books in alphabetical order by the Title in the metadata as opposed to the file name. Is there a way to add a sort by series (metadata) or sort by Filename in order to make this a bit easier.

This is a great app, and it does wonders with making a truly seamless sync of my epub books.
[Android Apps and Games] OBatRFan:
Shame to see this app has kind of dropped off. Seems as if no updates or word from the dev in quite a while? I understand things are certainly starting to get busy around this time of year. This app is great, though it could use some minor improvements (faster syncing, more customization). Also, it force closes on my Galaxy Note 10.1, which means the syncing from my phone is all for nothing. :( Really hope we hear back from the dev soon!
[Android Apps and Games] badmoj0:
Great App!

If I could somehow make my Kindle touch sync with this, it would be Amazing. Seriously considering getting a nexus 7 even though I decided I have no use for a tablet :)

Btw, it would be handy if you could see how much you have read and how much is left the chapter you're reading at the moment.
[Android Apps and Games] Quintasan:
What I am particularly worried about is how does Fabrik support the ePub standard. While the standard itself supports CSS in the files normally (mind you, ePubs are just zipped XHTML files) it seems that Fabirk just ignores my CSS file and as a result the ebook looks not horrible but not as I wanted it to look. It is quite possible that I might have made a mistake somewhere and the CSS did not get included but I do not think that is the case. I am pretty sure you do NOT want to override the CSS in epub file if it is there.
