mai word... i handled a galaxy s4 in bmobile today. samsung should just stop developing the s series cuz how do you even make a phone better than that. the phone is small and the screen in huge... i just feel like it violates the laws of physics..... now i need to start saving my money

Coworker of mine got one recently, beautiful device. Too big for my hand though

[Halfbreed07]

Still feels like cheap plastic compared to the HTC one

I shame to say I have never felt the HTC one in my hand.

Looks like a great phone though, I like how the speakers in front.

Rom cleaner is awesomeness. Got rid of Rosie and opted for nova prime launcher too.

Rom cleaner is awesomeness. Got rid of Rosie and opted for nova prime launcher too.

I only installed Nova the other day. Liked it soo much I went Prime.

I installed Go Launcher long ago and it turned me off of launchers.. I always thought all launchers were like Go Launcher EX where you couldn't add ur stock widgets. Also I found that it made my phone look like ah Chinese imitation.

I was bored this weekend and installed Nova. It's a great launcher for those who want the stock android feel without rooting. And I really like how my home screen can finally go into landscape and I can resize my widgets...

[ismithx]

Holo launcher is even lighter yet dude!

[pete]

Atom launcher is small and nice too. Nice wallpaper effect when scrolling.

I am running PAC-man ROM. These developers put everything good from CyanogenMod, AKOP, Paranoid Android and other personal developments into one custom ROM and they wrote kernels to go with your device too. It includes HALO))) from Paranoid Android for multi-tasking and floating apps. The PIE control comes in really handy when you learn how to use it.

Try PAC-man, and see if you get a kernel for your device from XDA on the PAC thread for your device for best performance. I doubt you will ever go back to anything else. Use the latest stable release, not the nightlies, along with the non-neon gapps.

Launchers use lots of battery life?

[pete]

Some may use less than touchwiz

[Ted_v2]

Touchwiz? Wat

[Mr.Bollywood]

I actually like touchwiz its simple and very easy to use , ive never really used launchers before .....but I would like to try anything that improves performance and battery life

[M_2NR]

ROM Cleaner is what's helping my battery life by removing all the bloatware and unused services. However what's also killing my battery life is the camera to an extreme extent as opposed to what i used to get on my iPhone.

Bolly, i think there is rom cleaner also for the note2, u can even customize what's removed using a txt config file. Be sure to do a backup before though.

[Mr.Bollywood]

Thanks bro!! Ill check it out and give it a try....experiencing some major problems with the note 2, think I need to flash a new rom on it yes , or wait until 4.3 come out in September?

[M_2NR]

Oh and don't expect some significant change eh...
BTW how d jail does a note2 have bad battery life... that's weird

[Mr.Bollywood]

Bro I have noooooo clue how I getting dis bad

And I rocking these settings alllll the time!

[Mr.Bollywood]

^^ btw this is under moderate use eh...checking these things every 30 minutes or so

[M_2NR]

This mean nothing btw. Get something like betterbatterystats (find the apk on xda) or wakelock detector and see what's causing it.

[gastly369]

yeh so.. for those who used them both already or considered them

asus memo pad HD 7
orrrrrr
samsung galaxy tab 3

the asus display vs the tab 3 have me leaning more on the asus side atm
buying 2 but either 2 asus or 2 tab 3..
tho the asus specs/screen etc is "rated" better.. the price difference of 50US for basically a "better" product and the "galaxy tab 3" name justifies the cost difference ?
or is there something that im missing

[ismithx]

turn off smart stay. it should help. also, turn off your 4g when you're not using it. get a custom kernel.

and thanks I just turned it off, but I wanna keep the phone as stock as possible , if u take this phone now its completely stock u can put it inna box and call it brand new.. the last few phones I had I went crazy with roms, kernels, had beats and all kinda ting so was giving a challenge to live a stock life
