yeah you just lost your local search feature rolleyes.gif rolleyes.gif

stock is not necessarily good... my advise use wanamlite or other rom that use as close to stock, but without the bad bits nod.gif (wanamlite added back the local search feature missing from the official)

How to change your general phone call ringtone to a custom own of your own choosing
For the second half of the guide, is how to set a custom notification sound. Refer to this youtube guide that explains better than me doh.gif

Wish there was an app that made doing this easier X_X:
Anyway this is what i'm using

Phone ringtone: J-E-N-O-V-A, FF7

Notification: Fanfare, FF7

err. why dont you just install handcent, you dont need to use the handcent as primary device, but now when you go to system > sound > choose notification sound, select handcent and it will allow you to choose mp3 as ringtone or notification tone

Hrmm...can you explain what you mean by 'local search feature'?

Don't dare to use custom ROM yet...still very new on the smartphone platform. Maybe after a few months using and getting familiar to the system tongue.gif
Any advantage in using wanamlite against stock ROM?

To those people who purchased the Spigen SGP Steinheil Curved Crystal screen protector for S3, any updates so far?

The orange peel effect on my existing flexHD is killing me cry.gif

You too bro? I'm getting the same feeling with my phone. Kinda getting annoyed with the sticky feeling of my SGP Flex rather than the orange peel. The screen isn't as smooth as the original screen sweat.gif

the local search is back. stock ROM is good as it is the most stable. custom ROMs are custom so they are faster

Did you mean this ?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...t.nextsms&hl=en


hm..... does it allow you to select different audio formats other than mp3s ? hmm.gif i tend to prefer aac at minimum. mp3 is already on it's way out.

also is it possible to set the audio for those 2 things with that app, then delete app straight after without losing the changes ? because that app looks horrid shocking.gif

I can live with it, but knowing that the Curved Crystal SP is not gonna arrive so soon is killing me cry.gif

Using the flexHD is okay for me, at least the orange peel doesnt affect the clarity sweat.gif

It's not THAT bad. Clarity is excellent (screen clarity is my #1 priority).
I just hate the fact that I could have been using the Curved Crystal SP now and say bye-bye to the orange peel effect of the flexHD.. if only SGP didn't delay the item last minute cry.gif

Clarity is good. Almost as good as a naked screen. Only complaint from me is that the screen isn't smooth as the original screen. Also it seems to collect fingerprints quite easily doh.gif

Where did you place your order for the Curved Crystal? Online? How much and when is the expected delivery date?

I ordered it on http://www.ebay.com.my/itm/SPIGEN-SGP-Sams...8#ht_1745wt_906

I bought it on 8th of July, but they delayed the item about 2 weeks ago. As a sorry-for-the-inconvenience,-here's-something-for-you gift, they're giving pre-order customers a free stylus worth USD13 biggrin.gif

approx arrival date is end of august though.
