Layout sucks on ICS man, too heavy, lots of widgets.
Looks the 98% same with GB TW.

Just flashed ICS via Mobile Odin, no prob without wipe at all...running smoothly.

However, I felt that the launcher is similar to GB leh...I thought ICS launcher theme, dial pads, SMS'es, calendars should be different right?

How come still macam default GB Samsung theme...dissapointing...

This is a well known fact. You should have seen those videos first before you flash it. Anyway you can always replace the launcher with apex or nova to get the vanilla ICS look - so is small issue. Nothing to be disappointed about. And these launchers are way smoother and slicker than default touchwiz

what GPS apps u are using n no need internet??

I am answering your first question : no need internet connection to use GPS - , sygic, papago etc. If you have it will assist you to speed up the first initial lockup. And even so your data used is negligible. However if you used Google maps navigation you need active data on

dear sifu here,

8gb external sd is getting small.
wana buy a bigger capacity one.

i have zero experience in buying memory card.
means i duno which brand is good etc.
do you guys think this is ok?

Kingmax 32GB Class 6 MicroSDHC + Kingmax MicroSD Adapter = RM120
from this seller.
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...300&hl=micro+sd

kingmax reliable or not?
price reasonable?

please give some opinion ya.
thanks alot :-)

or if you have good brand and nice price one,
recomend me :-)
*
Reliable I'd suggest Sandisk , even class 4 can match those class 10 cheaper types eg Kingston, DNA, Kingmax. Having used these brands before, I would recommend Sandisk ( premium brand ) , DNA ( budget brand )

Has anyone tried freezing or uninstalling the stock messaging app?
Will this cause any system error? Or cause other 3rd party messaging app to stop working?

The reason why I'm even thinkin about this not only because stock messaging app is quite useless,
It also defeats the purpose of the security feature offered in hand cent SMS.

I can set a password or pattern lock for hand cent SMS, but its useless since people can open the stock messaging app to view my messages.

So is it safe to freeze stock messaging app?
*
all 3rd party sms work ontop default messaging app
you can always set a password using say app protect or to lock it

That's scary. What I did was I told the banks to call me for every transaction done online. So every time something is done, will receive a call within 10 minutes to confirm.

I always received an immediate SMS from CIMB Mastercard everytime a transaction is made. This really make me feel safe

Benny may I ask, I tried USB keyboard via OTG, but I can't seem to get it working, even I tried on the Galaxy Note, but still can't.. Must the keyboard be powered by external power supply for it to work?
Thanks..
