QUOTE(joytest @ Mar 19 2013, 10:25 PM) Why don't you use Nova or Apex launcher? It replaces the default TouchWiz homescreen. I was also a Note 1 user. Ditched TW after having tried custom launchers  Custom Launchers have customizable rows and columns to increase your icon grid. GO Launcher seems more popular compared to others but personally I prefer Nova Prime

Funny when I tested a few phones yesterday, Blackberry Z10, Nexus 4 and Xperia Z, I would rate the Xperia Z the lowest in terms of screen sharpness and clarity. Not sure if its my eyes but I noticed the protective film layer is affecting the Full HD screen andthe colours are not lively as expected.
The Note 2 prevails!

QUOTE(joytest @ Mar 20 2013, 10:37 AM) Even on antutu as posted yesterday in the s4 thread, , note2scores 17k while XZ is 20k. Not a major difference. But oh !!! The orgasmic premiumhotcoolsexydesign makes the owners wet their pants every time they caress hold it.... But seriously thou, I feel the Blackberry Z10 has the best grip among those I've tested. Should try the HTC One soon then I can make a proper comparison. Xperia Z is sexy no doubt but still lacks the oomph when it comes to fluidity and and screen clarity. I sense the S4 will be a step up from all those soon

QUOTE(one81 @ Mar 20 2013, 10:44 AM) Just received my BassBuds Classics red color yesterday... Nice combo with Note II... love the deep bass sound  » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « *cannot afford Beats so BassBuds is my choice... hehe IMO, Beats is a useless piece of crap. It's only about style. For the price, you can own a better pair of earphones. Give a review of your new loot soon yeah

QUOTE(joytest @ Mar 20 2013, 10:49 AM) Ah and how many have been suckered simply because of the word "style".... Too many 'fakes' on the market as well. Hard to tell if you are wearing an authentic one. Once saw a Bangladeshi national wearing one  styleeeee

Anyone using WanamLite ROM?
Flashed earlier with CWM and once it rebooted, it is stuck at the 'SAMSUNG' logo screen. Any ideas?
