hey guys is CM10 supported on S3?
i always can't seem to find international galaxy S3 listed on the supported devices list for CM10. Only always see US variants of S3 sad.gif

i finally hopped on the apex launcher bandwagon.

after using touchwiz for so long, i'm starting to get bored of it.

HELLO APEX LAUNCHER + JB THEME biggrin.gif

nod.gif  worth it.

i notice the screen is much smoother when flipping between pages. touchwiz has too many redraws  sweat.gif  which i didn't quite realize until i switched to nova prime  doh.gif

some of the benefits of nova prime launcher

pros:
1. performance
2. modability too many to go into  rclxub.gif
3. better app folder management
4. more gesture controls
5. you can add a touch screen button to replace the physical one. I'm loving it  thumbup.gif so no need to use super nexus rom, i can keep using my wanamlite, and just use nova launcher to customize the touchpad button.
6. can also use the jelly bean theme. same reason as point item number 5.
7. rather than use gmail widgets, nova prime has a plugin called tesla unread which allows me to do the same thing but more efficiently but using the default gmail icon widget. So the gmail widget now has the number of unread emails appended to the bottom right of the icon.
8. can easily import my widget layout from touchwiz to nova prime.
9. eacy to backup widget layout and settings for nova prime.
10. has a feature to check for updates for nova prime and perform the update
cons:
1. the touchwiz clock weather widget is gone  cry.gif however other widgets from touchwiz remain selectable from the widget selection screen oddly.
2. there doesn't seem to be an option in nova prime to change the lock screen wallpaper :/ to do that i think still need to do via samsung s3 settings if i am not mistaken.
When i tried to freeze touchwiz, it worked for a while, but later the app menu buttons were gone. so i don't think it's recommended to freeze touchwiz from what i've seen  hmm.gif
*
only available with nova prime? ohmy.gif

this one is a really big selling point for me

anyone else have widget sizing problem with nova launcher?

seems like the Assistive Light widget and the Alarm Clock widget (stock widgets) are sized weirdly on nova launcher AND apex launcher.

I tried changing the settings but it's still the same

Flip down hard for texting if the flip cover cannot open until touch the back cover. If flip up can easily texting but quite rare to find a good one. So in the end..Gooo naked...FTW..!!! rclxm9.gif

no matter how i still prefer to use snap-on back casing only.

the only time i use flip-case is when i'm going out with friends to arcade or something where my phone might bump into stuff in my pocket tongue.gif

lowest class 4 also enough already actually.

16GB class4 SD card on my cousin's S2 causes the phone to lag like crazy when open music player.
his songs are stored in his microSD.
compared to mine, i use 32GB class10, no lag at all and music player instantaneously open smile.gif

highly recommend getting class10. unless if you're on a budget, then class4 should be alright if you don't mind the occasional slowness smile.gif

S3 wins summary conclusion
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

But don't get me wrong. Although i do think overall the S3 was the winner in this round, Apple still managed to set the new standards for somethings.

1. Thunderbolt
2. 3 microphones .....

...thats about it  hmm.gif
i'm not denying thunderbolt is the future, but i think wigig would have been much more useful because there are wigig routers out there. People tend to prefer wireless streaming/transfer of data compared to using a cable.

new iphone got thunderbolt meh

In my opinion that is a piece of dumb ad by Samsung
It will only appeal to non tech or non knowleageable users
You don't openly compare software with opponent hardware features -really dumb

i just bought sgs3 last week. and im new to android. is anything i can do to lower the ram usage. i constantly kill tasks and clear ram, but no matter how, it will rise again some times.

i don't bother killing tasks and clearing RAM.

i have never done it before, my phone still runs smoothly until today.

there are lots of myths about task killing and RAM clearing, but i personally believe that android manages RAM usage and tasks very well on it's own smile.gif

(the only thing i clear is my multitasking tasks. i don't kill tasks using task manager or clear RAM)

i just read another galaxy S3 vs iphone 5 comparison.
the galaxy S3 vs iphone 5 specs comparison has to stop. It's just too ridiculous to compare 2 totally different phones that have their own good points and bad points doh.gif

I personally love my galaxy S3, but I don't think iphone is a bad phone.
sometimes i feel android fanboys are turning into apple fanboys too in a way doh.gif

i doubt the rumour is true.

samsung would probably follow it's regular release cycle by releasing it in their own private event ohmy.gif

i'm quite worried about the batt in my s3

when it's idling, at certain time, it eats up the batt quite fast

no background apps running, no 3g, no gps, just wifi

anything wrong that i did?
*
in my experience, it's because of weather widget set to update interval of 1 hour. it will keep trying to update even though no wifi/3G available or even when device is idle

Hello fellow sifus, i need some help here.

So i've installed Apex Launcher to try it out. I realised that the widgets that I add on apex launcher look weird and misaligned.

Here's an example.

This is a picture of the widgets alignment with STOCK LAUNCHER. They look perfectly fine and aligned.

And here is a picture of the widgets alignment with Apex LAUNCHER. They look weird (too small / misaligned)

I was wondering, How do I fix the spacing / alignment of the widgets to make it aligned just like on the stock launcher?

Also, i'm using the free version of apex launcher.

Any help is appreciated. THANK YOU! biggrin.gif
