I use Apex. For me it works quite well. But then, I can't actually compare until I try Nova soon. Some of my friends are using Nova and for me, it looks more or less the same. lol.
*
Features wise about the same except apex had few more features
Up to user. I prefer Nova as I find it not so buggy as apex n it never freeze on me

buy a separate big alarm clock and put at the side of your pillow la..
the phone can then be switch OFF and place inside a big sealed can which has proper grounding to the earth of the power socket. Then for sure no issue with radiation tongue.gif
*
These fear of radiation I would say is of little concern. If worry so much , put the phone a few feet away of don't even place it near you
it is not a life n dead situation
Anyway my phone is always besides me by my bedside at side table , barely 2 feet away. I must than be slowly dying from the radiation effects

I'm just curious...many of you are using Flip Case....but don't you guys find that the LED Notification is useful?...if using Flipcase , you can't see the LED blinking right?
*
I hate the LED - find it a nuisance. I actually disabled all the LED notifications

are you sure? no need to press power button first and speak out the command straight away while it is sleep?
completely different from me, i purposely on it on my s1 function/back button even thought led function is not there.

Well that is probably your style that you need to be always be inform of any missed calls, sms , messages etc

Even my working life , using a blackberry I already find it a nuisance that always being prompted of any new messages. My take on such stuffs is simple - life is short . Do not be over anxious . One need not be updated every minute what one miss . Unless it is a matter of life and death. Responding back to any message a few minutes later even say half an hour later will not kill you or the recipient. This rule of course do not apply unless you are a VVIP and the other party calling, messaging you too is a VVIP and to be updated every minute is crucial to your life

Me first Android so wat is replace those missing? What is disable, how?

Disable or freeze apps is simply taking out the app from operating or showing up in the background. These if often recurring will takes up ram and if you have no use of such apps/services than you can freeze it. Most system only apps you can disable it simply at settings/applications in ICS. However I always prefer to disable/freeze such apps/services using Titanium Backup ( which needs root ) - such apps will not be shown anymore in the app drawer and will never appear again in background. When you need such apps back, just defreeze or unfrost it at TB

Missing apps refer those apps that the rom developer has taken out from his rom. So if you are using any of the light roms and you missed using certain apps, just restore it back from your Titanium Backup of your previous rom

Weird, DiGi gave me another micro sim card... So i should use the new ones right? But the line seems haven't activated yet huhh??  blink.gif
How long do I have to wait for the reactivation of my simcard ya?
*
Digi normally takes few hours - and that was months back. Now don't know whether they have improved it. Celcom and Maxis just need 10-15 mins and your new simcard is activated

Btw uncle Benny, many have asked and I may seem to miss a reply on this matter....I also posted this....but app can't be move to sd card... You know anyway to enable it?
*
No idea as i never even bother about such. Now you have full 11 Gb space - more than enough for me . I still have 6 GB left after install 150 apps. If you want to move game data to external SD card there are hacks to do it especially gameloft data - just google for solution but your phone needs root for this

do dy, same...anyone??? how to claim warranty?

Just sent in service center. First thing they will do is reflash your rom
If after reflash still have lag issues probably they will only change motherboard ; slim chance you will get a new set

Uncle Benny, how to tb backup to external sdcard?
*
Choose backup folder at menu/preferences search device
Before that create a titaniumbackup folder in ext sdcard first

would tethering using our phone drains lots of battery?

Yes typically twice as much as say browsing on it
Don't be surprised at 20-30% per hour battery usage
