Hey guys!

I'll be getting my Samsung Galaxy Ace tomorrow (most probably) and I can't wait to mess around with it. However, after going through several videos, and asking some of my friends who own Android phones, I'm rather confused about themes.

I came across this app known as Go Launcher. Is this similar to Winterboard for jailbroken iOS devices? Also, would I have to root my device in order to run the Go Launcher application?

Apart from that, some of my friends mentioned something about installing custom ROMs. What's the point of it?

Finally, are there any Android app developers here? smile.gif

Thanks guys!

Welcome to this club!

Themes are like different designs of your homescreens such as different icon design/different dock all those....

Sorry, I dunno what's winterboard rclxub.gif . U dun need to root to install go launcher.

Installing custom ROMS are either for fun / for better performance / for better customizing ability / improve battery life....hard to explain exactly what is it. Maybe can do a google search, good luck biggrin.gif

Thanks man smile.gif

I've been messing around with my Ace for a bit, and it's a pretty good phone. Doesn't lag much, and the touch screen is pretty responsive. Haven't rooted it yet though. Still contemplating whether to do so, or not tongue.gif
