I have used that. Looks good. But doesn't those one line menu items feels silly?
I would rather have the home screen of WP but the ability to customize menu to grid. Any launcher for that?

nova luncher is very stable and uses very less memory its is very smooth too and have lot of customisations.I replaced my default Sony timescape with this.

+1 for Nova. Great launcher it is. It's not as smooth as my stock TW, but hey, lots of good features and some customisation is the way to go.

I have an S3 i9300 on Cyanogenmod 10.1(Rooted) and it has Clockworkmod Recovery installed.
Its charger suddenly stopped working and the Service Centre guys told me that they will see the phone before giving me a replacement. Can any one please guide me how to revert back to Stock ROM and Recovery..
I have already done the thing with Triangle Away.
Thanks for the Help!

I am sure, this has been asked before, but am asking again, is an antivirus required on android(Galaxy S3)? I am not that app crazy, just download the required apps from play-store. Just read somewhere that even Google uses some anti-malware service called "Bouncer" to scan its play-store. So am I relatively safe? Even anti-theft is built in, so that point is also marked off.

 

[ithehappy]

Absolutely NO.

^ exactly but few safety tips:

Download only from play.
No pirated apks i Mean from torrents.
Check the reviews

 

[ithehappy]

Yes and don't download anything you see. As above user said, check reviews. I've 60+ apps installed atm, outta which 30 is labeled as Top Dev, and other 30 are having 10k+ reviews. Needless to say there are plenty malware in Play Store.

Guys I had an SD Card which I had used with my previous phone LG optimus net . However when I insert the same into my new Galaxy Note it's not being recognized. Do I need to format this SD Card before I start using in my Note?
