Customisation completed. Overall nothing much changed except the wallpaper, icon pack & colour used in the widget tongue.gif

Rearranged the shortcuts to allow me to access frequently used ones much more easily when using the phone single-handed (right-hand).

Previously it was really kind of darn-hard to reach the "Call" or "Message" button rclxub.gif

IU is nicely positioned tongue.gif

Thanks! tongue.gif

Still trying to look for alternative simplistic-but-cute icon packs to have better matching with the wallpaper tho rclxub.gif

I change wallpaper almost on daily basis, so I can't have set up like this, if not I will have to move my widgets everyday... So I have a page of homescreen with only a clock and nothing else. Swipe left/right for widgets haha

Usually it's hard to find oversea cases locally in retail stores unless they're really famous / high demand. However the price will usually be jacked up so might as well as directly order from U.S. and save some $. laugh.gif
Haha. So far I change my wallpaper once every month-or-so, and I back-up previous configurations using Nova Launcher backup so I could fall-back to my previous designs as per required tongue.gif

But yeah, moving widgets/realigning them is really rclxub.gif

My sica! What is that app in the middle?
*
Err I am using Nova Launcher Prime, do we need specific launcher to set wallpaper o.o

Anyway the app in the middle is just the app drawer, I changed the icon using nova launcher to this.

I dunt know if it is just me or what but it seems like my Nexus 4 is abit slow nowadays. Let say when pressing the Whatsapp icon from home screen had to wait about 2 second for the app to be launce. Is it normal ?
*
Normal for whatsapp, it is a bit slow in launching. Unless you press home button to exit instead of back.

I agree with benchmark doesn't matter much already. As long as my apps launch smoothly, no lag, no hiccups, no slowing down, no FCs... Smooth multitasking... I am all good. I got only 17k pts in Antutu but people in XDA tweak this tweak that to get 21k+.

But I feel great with this already despite the benchmark. Cheers!

P/S: however, I hope google can come out with a better 7 or 8" tablet soon, at least quad core, 2GB RAM and 1080p screen. Nexus 7 is a joke now. Cannot stand such resolutions for tablet.

But it make no sense. Even if for developer, shouldn't it be faster ?
*
It is easy for developer to update their new roms there and they have their own Goo Manager android app to let users download directly through the app, also will remind users when there is new version.

Goo doesn't collect money, it is a free service and most of the time I find it working fine. If developers use mega it would really be a mess.

I can hardly get 4 SOT with 3G ON all time.... (unless you are using it for mere notification purpose lo).
*
if you only use for notification purpose, how you increase your screen on time because most of the time screen will be off.

I can see he got great signal (whole bar is green), and don't think he surf a lot. Most probably leaving the screen on without doing anything (just to test maximum SOT) so no much data consumption during that 7 hours. Candy Crush playing also not much %.

In my sucky Skudai location I can get 2.5 hours + with 3G + 2G only.

The max I got till today with mixing 3g and wifi, 4 hours of sot only which I considered, quite good!

Anything over 3 hours is already good for me sad.gif

You turn on 3G but you never open facebook or browser... Just for whatsapp. Try greenify, this can be done.

Greenify? Okay I try it then

QUOTE(IMfae_ @ Apr 2 2013, 02:55 PM)
Which telco bro? Digi or celcom or maxis?
*
Digi. Maxis even worse. Decent 3G coverage but not always full bar, most of the time half or slightly more than half only.

I'm using it now... Quite stable, just that it has like 1s delay after launching it...

but I am using PIE control from PA... So not really practical for me. Just testing in case I want to use in the future.
