This is 4.4 KitKat Launcher without Google Now integration. Extracted from Paranoid Android AOSP 4.4 Rom. You can install as normal APK.

This Launcher will be helpful who don't want to use hotword detection and Gnow integration as they are increase battery usage so much.

Also there is no need to change LCD density for 5x5 app drawer layout.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ihancioglu:
You don't need to flash modified framework zip as Google already did for Nexus4 on 4.4.1. Just flash latest 4.4.1 OTA and install Launcher3 as normal apk. You will have translucent nav and status bar on both Lock Screen and Home screen.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] grgana:
Will this launcher replace original one or just be installed like nova for example?

Installed it like any other apk. transparecy is cool but icons are too big, thanx anyway.

The icons looks little blurred when the dpi is set to 180. Do we have any workaround to correct it? The icons are displayed properly with Nova, but not with Google Now Launcher and Launcher3.

[Galaxy Note II General] gub:
Well, go buy a Nexus 5 instead of ranting. Great performance/price ratio, plus you get pure Google experience + timely updates. I recommend it to everyone.

Still, I'll keep my Note 2.

Touchwiz is not that bad. I tried several alternative launchers and always came back to stock.

For note taking, I found no replacement for S-Note stylus double-tap popup. Google Keep has zero stylus support (even though a standard Android API exists) so it's out of the game (I still use it for checklists). I also use Papyrus, which is a fantastic "virtual paper" app but it lacks a quick note shortcut like S-Note.

Just to say that when I got my phone (my last one was a Nexus One), I was like "let's remove all that crap" but after a bit of time and a few tweaks I started liking it.

Plus Samsung is one of the last major manufacturers to make user replaceable batteries.

I'm not saying that Samsung is perfect, far from it. In my case I feel like I have no choice : no manufacturer have made something that matched the Note family of phones, except maybe Sony with the Xperia Z Ultra.

Hey guys, I have been searching for Glow in the Dark skins for the G2 unsuccessfully, I would love a glow in the dark skin

to easily find my phone in the dark, or if i drop it outside at night in the grass. etc...

My searches kept leading me to www.slickwraps.com

check out these skins they do for the iphone, Holy crap!

Now, if these aren't your cup of tea Slickwraps also does all kinds of colors and patterns, carbon fiber, etc etc.

Now, They apparently are thinking about doing G2 skins but they want FEEDBACK from communities such as ours here.

Perhaps if we show enough interest with them we could even possibly work a deal just for xda members.

go to slickwraps.com and hit them up on their chat window or the contact button to make your voice heard that we want good skins for the LG G2!

thanks

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr. Hax:
Ever since updating to KitKat on my HTC One GE, Chrome has become completely unusable.

Any kind of exiting and going back to Chrome results in a refresh. I can go into recent apps and IMMEDIATELY go back into Chrome and it will refresh. It dies t matter how many tabs I have. Even with one tab, the issue is there. It doesn't matter how much memory is free. The issue went away briefly after a factory reset but came back within a day. It doesn't happen on any other browser.

What surprises me is just how few people are complaining. I would think the forums of teh interwebz would be absolutely blowing up from the hundreds of thousands of people who are having this issue. I can't even find a Google Play review of someone with the issue. Why is this bug even here? Surely Google/HTC had to have noticed it when they were testing KitKat.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FitAmp:
I honestly dislike chrome on my HTC one. Im on 4.4 sense 5.5 and I use the HTC browser. Seems to be quite snappier and less memory usage.

[Asus Transformer TF700] sparksd:
Thought I’d pass along my recent experience with unlocking the bootloader.

•	I initially downloaded and installed the unlock tool. I tried dozens of times over the next few days, always running into failure. I tried resets and just about everything else, all to no avail.

•	Wondering if my device wasn’t registered with Asus, I went to the Asus device tracker site and successfully registered it. However, the tracking map would never get beyond the “Loading” state, though no error was raised.

•	I contacted Asus Support via email, noting the tracking problem.

•	One day later, Asus replied back saying that it was because my device was unlocked. I verified by rebooting and looking for the device unlocked message that I was not unlocked – I passed that back to Asus.

•	One day later, Asus replied back, asking for a screenshot showing my serial number and MAC address from the status window (even though I provided both in my first message and it still showed in the email trail). I got that to them. Asus Support said they would pass that on to another group.

•	One day later, Asus replied back, providing a jpg of some log file saying that I had successfully unlocked a week earlier. Again, I verified by rebooting and looking for the device unlocked message that I was not unlocked – I again passed that back to Asus.

•	At this point, I was about to give up but I decided to give it one more try – and voila! On that first try I successfully unlocked! I passed that back to Asus Support and their reply was “It seems that your tablet was unlocked successfully.”

Did Asus change something based on my emails (e.g., get the MAC address in their system – a known issue with them)? Was I finally just lucky? I don’t know. But all in all, it was an extremely frustrating experience and it took several days and literally dozens of attempts before unlocking worked for me.

After all of that, I loaded TWRP and CROMI-x ROM and my tablet runs much better – faster, more stable (no random reboots yet), and battery life is better. So in the end, I am really glad I persevered.

[Asus Transformer TF700] hyderabadi:
I just contacted ASUS about my device not being unlocked and they said their database shows that it is. They opened up an investigation / case. Hopefully they reset it so that I can try again. It thinks it is unlocked but it is not. So frustrating.

Any tips?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sparksd:
I wish I had some to give other than to persist with them. As my post says, I had a back and forth with them insisting that it was not unlocked. I don't know if they actually did anything or if I finally just got lucky with the tool. It's unbelievable that they make unlocking so difficult.
[Asus Transformer TF700] flhthemi:
They won't even talk to me AT ALL about why mine wont successfully unlock. I was told the do not assist with unlocking the bootloader. Wish there was another way. I really did want to flash something better than their laggy trash.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sparksd:
To quote the title of a thread seen elsewhere, "Asus Support sucks". I may be happy with my flashed TF700T but I would strongly advise against buying Asus tablets because of this.

Some Androids have settings to clear preferred activities.

Then it will ask you next time with what you want to open a file.

I have non-B&N settings.apk, but I'm not sure if it's even in there.

Hi, from Three UK's 4G roll-out announcement, they say that they'll be sending out a software update to all 4G compatible phones. I'm wondering, since I have a custom ROM, GPe 4.4, surely I won't get that update, right? I'm running the latest firmware so is there a chance that my One is already compatible with 4G/LTE on Three UK?

Cheers.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mshart:
I just got the Note 2 in October of this year. I have always been amazed at the battery life. With regular use, texting, emails, internet and phone calls (nothing crazy), I easily could go 2 days on a charge. Now for the past few days, I am already at 71% and it's just 11am. I can't figure out what is going on. my battery meter shows the Screen as first then Android System next at 22%....Easily dropping 5-10% per hour. Help!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mshart:
It is running on Android 4.1.2. All of these things I am reading about rooting and stuff are foreign to me. I just want my battery life back. Any help would be appreciated. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ecs87:
Have you adjusted anything with your brightness? You may have accidentally turned off auto adjustment if you were using it previously. If that's not it I'd suggest a hard reset. If that cures it you can most likely chalk it up to a recently downloaded app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mshart:
yes I keep it on auto brightness...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] louforgiveno:
When you get a chance run the battery down to 1% then power off and let charge for at least 20 min after light turns green. ..you'll probably see immediate improvement

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mshart:
OMGosh...I updated to 4.3 and did a factory reset as well and it is not helping! What does it mean to "root" your phone? Will rooting the Note 2 nullify my Samsung warranty? Someone please help....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolwater22:
yes rooting will void your warranty but there are methods you can do to unroot it and have it go back to stock rom. I, as well as most of the people in this community get better battery if you root your rom and install a custom kernel, you will get better battery life.

one app that I found that I use daily is 2x battery pro. it's not free though.. there is a setting on the app that lets you turn off any background data while the phone is idle; you will still get calls and texts though. this will give you longer battery life. when you turn your phone on data will come back on. I get around one day and a few hours from the charge. check it out man. might help you.. :)

[Android Apps and Games] dreamwave:
Sounds nice, can't wait to try it out! If only it was web linked, though, as that would make for a very small initial download, what you could try next is a modular/dynamic aroma installer that you could use as almost a custom recovery, in fact, what if they made a custom recovery based on aroma? That would be fantastic, graphically, and be a lot less intimidating, the current recoveries work, and are very powerful, but they look like command line tools, what if they had the ui of aroma or something?

Kies will update your device firmware and software. Modem and rom. The latest official update is 4.1.2. It will reinstall the stock recovery and remove root too. You'll have to re-root with twrp or cwm again using odin and a pc.

I think www.sammobile.com has a downloadable and flashable rom if you register.

Yep. Hotfile has been shut down. Sammobile uses Hotfire so there are no download links reupped yet.
