what would be the best launcher you would recommend? My first phone was iphone then windows. first time android user so I dont know much. always thought you had to root to change stuff like launcher (evidence of how ios is so constrictive. need to jailbreak to customize anything hehe) thanks for the reply! I'll google for some good launchers too but personal experience always better than reviews from internet

Anyone can introduce some case? Need minimalistic and no flip case. If can better transparent

Set yourself free.

Many things do not require root.

Nova and Apex are good launchers for Android 4.x and have very similar features. Some like Buzz have some unusual features but I haven't tried it.

Lots are available. some are expensive and others are cheap. Personally i love sgipen neo hybrid and the basic transparrent jelly/hard case. go for OEM for cheaper pricing range or just stick for originals if price is not an issue. I'm sure most of the users here use one type of casing or another and if u can specify the case u are interested in, someone will give a short user review perhaps?

haha! awesome stuff, hoping to free myself as soon as maxis would let me

for me.. nova is the best, smoothest launcher..
but right now, if u bought S4 LTE version, it will be special.
bcoz u can choose between fully TOUCHWIZ or fully GOOGLE EDITION..

i like sgp neo hybrid.. make the phone become more premium feel.
but, also like ultra slim casing.. really nice..

Depends (best answer). If you are more of a minimalistic kinda user and loves sleek launchers, go for Apex and Nova (my fav 2).
Others that you might be interested in:
-Go Launcher (fancy2!)
-Iterations of VireLauncher (Got physics engine inside. Coolio!!)
-Buzz launcher (lots of customization)
-and lots more (need to explore urself 4sure to find the best match for ur style)

Some good read:

yeah, prefer OEM now. Last time used to always buy branded case but easily got bored

I hope stock ROM will release soon

+1 for sgipen neo hybrid. I use it together with Glas.Tr sp and the result is excellent. can really display the screen quality with the oil resistance akin a matt sp.

i'm getting my phone from telco so dont think google edition gonna get into our market soon enough, really fed up with my windows phone already heheh, maybe custom rom after warranty finish and I root it



I'm more towards minimalistic (which was why i tried windows phone and regretted it) so might try the apex or nova. thanks guys!

i bought original one.. really satisfy with it..

for the phone, really love the nexus ROM on the S4..
smooth, fast, no bloatware..

yeah!! im using neo hybrid together with the free screen protector included in the noe hybrid..
all i can say, its perfect!!

Is it me or the default Internet Browser is freaking slow?

straight to chrome although it is a memory hogger. Atleast all my desktop bookmarks are now on my phone~

And every time it needs to load the page twice! First to load the cached page, then u need to hit the refresh icon again to load latest page. Damn fed up. I already set the always background load page settings so useless.
Only sticking with it Bcoz of air gestures.

Err then whats the point of getting a casing? Don't get casing be extra careful also the same thing. If I can accept that, I rather use it naked and not spend 100++ on a flip cover.

ppl owes believe that shit always happen, thus casing/plan B.

That's the whole point. This plan b (flip) is not preventing the Shit from happening.

well, at least u dont damage ur ori back cover and the front screen when it drop, not for the side, so 50% protection? ppl get the s-view cover for its purpose, not much protection, that's why sgp came out with s-view cover protector. It is a cover, not a protector anyway.

Hi everyone.. morning....Is there a need to install some app to prevent or avoid using the buttons like when on and off the screen ? Will the buttons spoil easily? =D

Some of the launchers that I have used :

Nova Launcher
SPB Shell 3D
Go Launcher


I'm using SPB Shell 3D now
