[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purple Ferret:
While GO Launcher has more features, I find Nova to be much more responsive and fluid, and that alone is what won me over. I've used Go Launcher in the past on Older Phones.

Also Go Launcher used to group my contacts in the same manner Google does. I have multiple contacts for different places under one contact, Go Launcher now splits those and that drives me insane.

Both are good, I just prefer Nova these days.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawnn125:
nova - i feel has a smaller footprint in the system
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjlm21:
Nova and Apex are the best launchers today, the amount of customization options and fluidity put them ahead against the other launchers.

In my case I have always preferred Apex since it seems a little more complete but the Nova is an excellent option if you want to use the default launcher that comes with your phone
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ketani73:
Nova has that feel of complete stability which no other launcher has (the closest 2nd is apex) .... Go launcher after about 1000 updates still feels a little shaky !!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satuduatiga:
Agree with you
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyred5:
I am a GO launcher myself and the one thing I hate the most about this launcher is because I use themes and users who use GO themes will probably agree with me that the getjar sh*t is freaking irritating! yet they really have nice themes.

In case you're wondering what getjar is, basically the devs make use of this for ppl to download apps and collect points so that you can download that particular theme. Either that or you pay for it, which according to the reviews some dont get the full feature of paid themes. I personally have alternate ways to get the themes(can google the theme name and behold u know what u see...haha!)

Which luncher is small size with eat small ram ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agrajag27:
I believe that goes to Apex Launcher which is a close cousin of Nova.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gambit14:
I think both Apex and Nova are quite light, while imho Go launcher is quite heavy..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirbymaster101:
I've been using Nova Launcher for two months now but notice Go Launcher has nice themes in the play store. Worth the switch?

Also, if I have both a CM theme and a Go launcher theme, will they conflict?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirbymaster101:
Is there anyway to import nova luanhcer homescreen layout to Go Launcher Ex? Driving me crazy.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agrajag27:
I think you'll find moving from Nova to Go to be a hassle and a mistake. I used Go Launcher EX for the longest time and they're horrible with respect to support, bug response, etc. It's also very bloated for no good reason.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirbymaster101:
Yeah, speneded two hours doing it maunaully. Love the Pikachu theme on the Go launcher and love the screen transitions,

However Nova has icon overlapping widgets, and 7 icons per dock which I really like. But Go just looks so much nicer especially the TV transition when I go to app drawer. I'll give it a few days, if I find find a really good theme I love, will probably just stick to Go. I really like astetics.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rae2u_112:
Within the last couple weeks, I have used Nova and Apex. Both pros...meaning I have purchased them. I now am trying out Go Launcher. I'm not sure if I just didn't choose a correct option in the settings; but it seems with Nova and Apex that the phone isn't as customized. For example: when opening a folder, the background is black. I see no option to change this. As with Go Launcher, it changes per theme and you can also customize it if you want to. Sure...you can change the docks in Nova...and with Apex you can download any theme for any launcher and use it. And it seems like Nova changes all your icons versus Apex that some you have to manually change. It seems to me that Go Launcher gives you more options and I am a little ticked that I paid for Nova and Apex and I can't customize it as much as a free version of Go Launcher. If Nova and Apex would step it up a little they would definately be the #1 in my book because they do respond faster. And now the Dev team has created the 3D Next Launcher...which I might say looks cool as hell...but dang...$15?! Really?!

Also...I purchased the locker from the tesla company that created Nova. There is no security option; which there should definately be one. Go Locker...has security built in and you don't have to have the phone's default popping up after unlocking.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agrajag27:
All I can tell you rae2u is that Go Launcher was my choice for a long time but it was buggy as often as it wasn't. One release would be great. Next release was a mess and it was always bloated and much slower for me. That couldn't overcome the benefits in my view. And a 3D launcher? Why? This is a phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bionic22:
Nova vs Apex vs Go Launcher

So who's got the upper hand nowadays? I went from Go Launcher [2011] to Nova [Early 2012] to Apex [2013 - Now] and so far i have been satisfied with Apex.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pivo187:
Im wondering the same thing. I jus got nova on my S5 and it does feel a bit faster than stock TW...Anyone else?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanspotatobusiness:
I like that in the free version of Go you get more features than the free versions of Apex and Nova such as folders in the app drawer. In the paid version of Nova you can have folders inside folders (i.e. nested) and you can have the same app icon in more than one folder.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ulebsorry:
On my Maxx i am running stock 2.3.6. just un rooted.

I just downloaded the OTA of ICS, bur did not install yet.

I have a copy of ICS from GTFO thread.

My questions is can i jump to jelly bean without going to ICS and how?

if i have to install ICS, do i have to root to use GTFO update method? I will be ok in rooting, as long as i have a way to unroot if need be.

Thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] craigbailey1986:
99% sure you have to be on ics. Jelly bean is not a full update its an incremental update. It checks each app before it updates the entire system.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Jhall8:
Yes, you must have the 211 build of ICS on your phone in order to install Jelly Bean. Also, the 4.1.2 leak is only for model XT912.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] ulebsorry:
Mine us the 912 model. So if i have to install ICS, do i have to root to use GTFO update method? I will be ok in rooting, as long as i have a way to unroot if need be.

What will happen if i use GTFO method and i dont have root, will i brick phone ?

Thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Jhall8:
I reread GTFO's instructions again. They do appear to require root. However, I was one of many people who side-loaded the 4.1.2 leak without rooting. There are many posts on this method. Also see the 12/24/12 Droid Life story.

Hi everyone,

Is there any way to search for specific cynaogenmod or akop features that I want to cherry pick and include in my AOSP build?

for example - if I am looking for the custom LED notification feature in cm 10.1 - how do I go about finding this so that I can cherry pick the feature?

I've followed multiple APN guides including the one in the Solavei forums for Android phones and the one posted in here a little ways back (listed as SOLVED). I can receive MMS but still can't send them out. Just hangs on "sending". I've used the stock version of Androind, PA and CM and no luck :( Anyone still in this situation or have any ideas on what to do? Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shotta35:
Try with/without a subject. When it's stuck on sending, tap and hold and then do edit then send it right away again. Watch the signal bars to see if they show activity as well.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowrider262:
make sure whatever number your sending it to, you include the area code. for some reason that's how I have to do it on straight talk, but it didn't matter on T-Mobile prepaid

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blozout:
It's a photo from the gallery, looks like it's being compressed down to less than 1 MB for MMS purposes when sending.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blozout:
You mean with an active wi-fi connection or with wi-fi turned on at all? I'll try turning wi-fi off entirely and see what happens.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blozout:
Turning off wifi worked...that's annoying. Thanks for the tip.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shotta35:
Make sure your APN says MMS in it or it'll try sending MMSes over WIFI because that's the active connection. With MMS in the APN Type, it knows to use that data connection for MMS.
[Asus Transformer TF700] The_Big_H:
I have rooted my TF700, but have not unlocked the bootloader yet. I had to downgrade from JB to ICS so i am on the .30 firmware. Should I manually update the firmware to a JB firmware even though I am running ICS? Is there an adavatage, or will the firmware actually install JB back on? Also, when I load a custom ROM, should I also load an updated firmware?
[Asus Transformer TF700] adelancker:
What do you mean.

What would you like to do? Get back on JB (rooted, and locked bootloader) or do you want to flash custom roms, which require an unlocked bootloader?
[Asus Transformer TF700] The_Big_H:
I guess what I'm asking is, when I run a custom ROM, should I flash an updated firmware?
[Asus Transformer TF700] adelancker:
That depends. I am not that familiar with downgrading, so if you could turn off your tablet.

Then press the power button while holding the volume down button.

Then you should see 'bootloader version' somewhere on the left top corner.

If you could note that down and let me know, that'd help a lot.

It could be possible that your bootloader is still the one from before downgrading. If it is, you can start flashing roms as soon as you have unlocked your bootloader.

If it has downgraded too, you have to

1) Install Voodoo ota rootkeeper & make it protect your root

2) Flash the official latest firmware version

3) open voodoo ota rootkeeper and restore your root.

I think there's a walkthrough for your case somewhere in the general thread. Look for 'walkthrough' there, you should be able to find it. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Depend on the rom build. If the rom build on JB, then yes, you need to flash JB bootloader if you're on ICS. Custom rom only contained rom and kernel.(sometime without the kernel so you need to read the instruction). So if you're on ICS you need to flash JB bootloader (either just flash the bootloader alone or flash the entire firmware which included the boot loader). Then you can flash JB custom rom. If you're talking about the new CleanRom, it's on JB (so you need JB bootloader) and has option to flash stock JB kernel or custom kernel. For me, I always flash the full Asus stock firmware first to make sure I have everything then I flash custom rom. Of course, you could just flash the stand alone JB bootloader then flash Cleanrom.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kud05:

Can it be installed over Ginger Revenge 1.1.5 without system wipe?
