avast as it has many other features too
like -
firewall
sms call block

since its all in one app saves lot of Ram if you are running ics/jb on 512mb ram

it requires ARM V7. All sub 10k Samsung have crappy ARM V6 processor. check for ARM v6 Temple Run (hacked version). not available at Play Store.

Just installed Supercharger V6 (100% Supercharged); noticing a minor increase in speed. I guess Go Launcher is always a bit laggy.

Does Fast reboot work as it says? Is it safe ? I'm on stock ICS ROM and neither sony or google cared to add a reboot option on stock ROM.

Go launcher now is nothing but bloatware.Huge resource hog.
If you find the phone is slowing down run the fast engine flush from supercharger installer

it kills all process i.e. frees up ram. doesn't reboot mobile.

How do you guys manage sources on News aggregators like Pulse,Flipboard,Currents,Reader

For eg I use
Reader - For personal RSS like warez,movie/tv show releases etc
Currents - For the stuffs which i mostly read the articles too not just the feed like lifehacker, addictivetips etc
Pulse - the most used ...softpedia, cnet, ars technica etc...stuffs i just read the feeds not the articles
Flipboard - I have no idea how to use this effectively

And all of them are good in their own way (except maybe flipboard.. apart from an innovative way to browse news...it has got nothing)


So my question is how do you guys manage them all so as to use them effectively without repetition

Got to know about this deal:
HomeShop18.com Superdeals - Deals that last only minutes

After which Sony Xperia U can be bought at Rs 13,555 from HS18 instead of Rs. 16099 from FK.

Now Sony XPeria seems great at that price. 8 GB limited memory can be lived with. Only problem is the battery which seems meagre at 1320 mAh. So should I recommend it to a friend who was willing to buy a budget Android but couldn't since Micromax A100 is not available anywhere? :S

use sites, not apps to keep yourself updated with latest news.

GSMArena: Mobile news and reviews. Their blog also acts as a nice source of offtopic news.
Softpedia: 90% of the latest tech related news are from softpedia.
Anandtech: in depth Mobile and PC H/W news. Special credit to dailytech which is a sub domain of Anandtech.
AndroidOS: Indian Android based news like launch date, launch price, pricecut, el cetra.
Google: Keep googling about something, read whatever i get
