[Android Apps and Games] Surpass:
Hey everyone, I'm back again with more ported apps. :D

This time it's from the all new Chinese ROM 'SmartisanOS' for the Galaxy S3. If you have a Galaxy S3, I'd recommend checking out the ROM itself rather than using these apps, as you'll get a better experience that way.

If you haven't heard of SmartisanOS, firstly you should know it's not an entirely new OS, it's more like a UI skin like Sense and Touchwiz. It's based off Android, but isn't a fork of it like AliyunOS or anything.The creators very heavily focused on user experience, in attempts to make the UI very attractive and easy to use. The UI is very, very skeuomorphic. All applications tested ran buttery smooth.

Note that this ROM is in pre-alpha (it was only just officially released to the public on the 15th) so it's got a few bugs, even on the phone it officially supports, the Galaxy S3. Additionally, not all applications have full English support, so certain parts of them will be in Chinese.

As always, if you'd like anything from the ROM to be uploaded, just ask and I'll see what I can do. ;)

Here's a video review (in English) of SmartisanOS by Cursed4Eva TV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aRUZwJXlHA

Smartisan Launcher:

The launcher is very, very similar in concept to the iOS homescreen. It's just a grid of apps that you can move around, and essentially you're limited to just that. There's not hardly any customization here, but then again that can be a good thing if you think about it. Unfortunately, lack of customization takes a pretty big hit - for example, you can't change the wallpaper. For some very odd reason, this launcher requires a loading screen whenever it boots up, similar to other 3D launchers like Next Launcher and TSF Shell (but this launcher isn't 3D).

Features -

- Up to four icons on the dock

- Custom transition effects for opening apps and general inteface

- Batch app movement support

- Unlimited homescreens

- Hide homescreen support

- Lock homescreen support (crashes for me, however)

- Gorgeous UI

- Drag-to-uninstall support

Clock

This is a truly gorgeous clock app. Note that this, along with the other apps, don't give widgets. This clock is filled to the brim with fancy animations, sound effects, and special features, like a world clock, alarm, stopwatch, and timer.

Features -

- World clocks (system time set as default; you can add more but the clocks are only available in Chinese)

- Alarm clock

- Stopwatch (with lap support)

- Timer (up to 60 minutes)

- Fancy animations for all sections of the app. For example, whenever you switch tabs the clocks will reanimate into position.

- Fancy sound effects for most sections of the app. For example, turning on the timer will make a ticking sound. The ticking sound stops when you leave the application, though (and the timer still continues), so it won't be annoying or anything.

- Gorgeous UI

Notes

This is a pretty basic Notes app but just like all the other SmartisanOS apps is really nice looking, but unfortunately (for me, anyway, this might not happen on your phone) the app didn't fit the screen. This app also has integrated sharing support.

Features -

- Swipe to delete support

- Search support

- Sharing support via SMS, email, text, and Sina Weibo

- Gorgeous UI

Calculator

This is a very simple calculator without support, unfortunately, for more advanced calculations like the stock Android calculator. It's based off old basic calculators, and even has that click-and-clack sound to boot whenever you tap the buttons! :p

Features -

- Sound effects whenever you click the buttons for a more realistic effect

- Gorgeous UI
