Galaxy S3 Watering Hole

As I promised & I'm sure you guys have been anxiously waiting for :rolleyes: the wrap up of, honestly the best day I have ever had on this site since becoming a member. I was literally in tears 2 times today. I'm not going to mention everything, but only the high points as some topics had to be "cleaned up" so you might have missed all the action.

High Point 1 : AKA my cry baby post.I ended up in tears responding to a post from dawnierae & showing everyone that I truly have a soft side when it comes to my family.

High Point 2 : Friend request & a :beerglass: from XplosiV

High Point 3A : I ended up in tears again when Unforgiven ( Pup ) & I started posting back & forth the opening song to Gilligan's Island.

High Point 3B :
Only to be interrupted by kymberlin who then decided to start plugging ( totally on accident ) some websites that well....... & I'll leave it at that. By this time my abs were so soar from laughing I don't have to do my 10 minutes of planks before bed tonight.

High Point 4 : B/c of the cleaning up issue ( see high point 3B ) we got a visit from an AF celebrity :adore: Steven58. That's right folks AF royalty stopped by the good ole S3 waterin' hole this afternoon. I know, I know it wasn't Rob or Phases, but the next best thing ( sorry Steven58, were still cool right :flute: ? ). Which means we are officially on the map. Guess we can start picking out some paint colors for the S3 penthouse, I'm thinking Pebble Blue. ;)

High Point 5 :Phases granted my wish & I got to start the first thread in the Motorola Droid RAZR HD forum. http://androidforums.com/suggestion-box-feedback/601638-motorola-droid-razr-hd-forum.html . All right, maybe this high point isn't so great, but I thought it was kind of cool.

Besides this not much happened here today. Maybe it doesn't sound like "all that" to those that weren't here, but if you were you would totally understand. Can't wait to see what happens in here tomorrow. :p

If you see the words "On Probation" near my avatar PM Steven58 and he'll give you the low down.



And that folks, was our WH's 1000th post, think you missed that lil bit there treb, but no worries, it's a goodun :D

When's the better half back from her time away? Got anything good planned, like a meal out with the family?

Erh early mornings are starting to grate on me now, thankfully this is the last one till next week. :)

She comes back tomorrow, well it's now tomorrow here ( Friday ) so tonight !! Yeah !! When she/we get back from a week long work meeting we just like to chill & catch up on sleep. Will just go pickup something here local for Saturday night.

With you on the early mornings...errrr. With my daughter back to school the alarm goes off at 5:45am now :( . Which for me is in about 5 hours from now. Oh boy....:pound:

Ouch that's bad enough. I'm up at 4:45am on days, start work at 6, then it's 12 hours of joy for me. Good thing is I transition over to nights for Saturday night so I got all day to do what I want (or more like as the ball & chain orders) but I actually need to get some work done on my bike, nothing major, just tightening brakes and filling tyres. So that shouldn't take long.

Ah, I remember the days of all of us racing to get the Milestone post in the Nexus Pre-release thread. It was mayhem and we all had to get yelled at for garbage posts by these "Red" guys. :p;)
Has anyone tried TSF Shell launcher. It's a bit of coin at $17 but I'm looking at it's updated version on DL, and it looks awesome (believe it's demoed on a Gnex).

I missed that, so thanks for pointing it out. Nothing wrong with getting emotional about your family. :)

The enchilada? Or the cilantro lime rice ?
Both! Sounds like a fabulous combination.

LauncherPro hasn't been updated in ages! I used to use it when it just came out and we had to pay Fede through PayPal since he develops from Argentina(?).
I still like Nova since it's minimalist and I love stock ICS/JB and don't need too much theming. I did like his contacts widget though.

I found it was the little things in apex that bugged me.

Rows/columns were buggy if you set custom.
No option to change focused icon colour or depressed icon colour
The screen indicator bar was black with no option to change it, genius on a black wallpaper! Same for the other page indicators.
Pay to get notification counters.

I'm sure there were other things I found but like I said, small things. And yea Lp is old, not ics optimised, etc but for me it's got what I need. I'm not into the themes n effects stuff myself, but each to their own. It works for me, and I like it. Just like the other arf still uses open home and that got pulled from market ages ago.

Sure apex n nova have potential, but I would have expected them to have more of the standard common stuff to begin with, being that they could have learned from previous launchers. Oh well.
