All Things Android
« on: October 02, 2012, 03:08:45 PM »
I really am a big stud badass.. With that out of the way and most people know that already.
I would like to bring this to goEMAW. We have a 17 page thread over at OUI and the Old OUI was even bigger than that.
Hopefully with new blood and more and more of you guys ditching your iphones and coming over to the darkside this thread will help.
Actually hope this does not turn into a discussion on what is better iphone or android they are both great be happy with what you got.

Ok with that out of the way.
Today's topic is Launchers
Custom launchers can really help you customize your phone.
I have 3 that I play around with.

Go Launcher ex -free
This is one of the themes in go launcher ex.

positives about this launcher is you can have as many screens at you want. I currently have 9


I like go launchers app drawer. You can kill tasks plus much more.


Next up is adw ex(2.00)

7 screens you can run themes custom docs and flys it is probably the fastest of the bunch

Next up launcher pro plus(2.00)

Has the best widgets of any launchers




There are many good things with launchers and if you have any ?s feel free to ask.

There are some really cool stuff that can be done with android phones. In most cases you can root and get free wifi tether,screen captures,get better battery life, plus really customize your phone with roms that allow you total control.  If you have any ?s about rooting or roms feel free Dude,07,me,Rb all have rooted phones.  We or I can provide you with directions with your individual phone on how to root and install a custom rom. 

Anything related to android os belongs here

I was hoping for a humanoid robot thread, but this looks like it's about one those phones that people use to basically dick-around.  :confused:

Hey Winters.  I just got a Samsung Galaxy S3 that I will be rooting.  I found a couple links online but it still sounds scary. 

One thing, on the PC portion it says to disable my firewall and anti-virus.  Maybe my grey pubes are showing but I have no idea how to do that.  Is even necessary?

Sorry. Winters does not understand your question. Your original question may be ambiguous or need details. Please restate and try again.

So maybe this is the place for this question.  We are getting ready to switch our service to Verizon for all of our work phones.  We all have iPhones now, but I am seriously considering switching to a Droid product.  Other than having more flexibility to do what you want with your phone, what are the pros for the Droid?  Also, I have a crap ton of music and movies downloaded through iTunes.  Will I be able to transfer them to a Droid phone?

I feel like Winters is abusing his mod powers (again).  He basically just took a giant dump on the existing cell phone insiders thread.
