Android launchers

Android is popping up with so many devices from low to high end that it is becoming quite the competitor in the world of smartphones and cell phones in general. Some says its the ability to have your phone look however you want and perform however you want ;)

Those people to me have the same mindset.

I love having the abilty to alter my phones look on a whim with custom ui's and launchers.

So I thought what better to blog about today than android launchers. Whether your looking for something simple to complex I got you covered and just know I'm going off of personal experience.

MOST CUSTOM UI:
1. Adw launcher ex- with adw you can just about change everything in your launcher including the google search bar. The only thing you can't change is how your notification bar looks but you can sort of alter it with an app in the market called widgetzoid. So if your looking for the launcher you can tweak icons, app drawer, screen transitions and so on look no further. This launcher cost money but there is a free version that's called just adw launcher.

THE MOST STABLE ONE STOP SHOP LAUNCHER:
1. Launcher pro plus: launcher pro is an awesome launcher too and I believe its free so you can try out most features of launcher pro plus before you dive all in to buy this launcher. But to me this launcher is the grandfather to all launchers it will do all you ask of it and more and so many new launchers copy this launcher like many of the launchers I have on this list and other random ones in the market. This launcher has no themes but you can change the icons with some add ons in the market. You can also skin your widgets to match it as well. So with launcher pro plus you can't go wrong you get a stable ui and a couple of transitions that are pleasing as well. There also add ons so you can make this truly look like the htc sense ui. Such as weather and so on. The widgets are definetly a plus as well you will not have to download any excess widgets it has gmail, bookmarks, contacts, and most of the basics. So if your looking for a one stop shop launcher that wont hog up to much space you need this launcher can't stress it enough.

CLOSEST TO LAUNCHER PRO WITH MORE CUSTOMIZATION:
1: Go launcher- go launcher is the launcher that I ditched launcher pro for and this was because it allowed me more customization with a stable launcher pro type of experience. Best thing about it is that most of its add ons and the launcher itself is free. This launcher has the best developer support I've seen yet there always coming up with no add ons and features and widgets. So if your looking to get launcher pro plus but can't fathom spending that much money on a browser just go with go launcher. It also has a task killer built in. It has a lot of add ons almost rivaling the regina 3d launcher. The only drawback to this app is that its unpredictable with one of my phones it was so stable with my new one not so much but it is free. Its basically what would come to be if launcher pro plus and adw ex had a baby together lol. You can add up to like 27 screens or more I think.

THE FREE LAUNCHER CLOSEST TO SPB MOBILE SHELL:
1. Regina 3d launcher- this launcher is a nifty launcher with so many little add ons that it will be a competitor but it still lags on my phone at least. If your looking for a launcher with some cool 3d effects and kind of has the look and feel of spb mobile shell without the ridiculous price look no further.

LAUNCHER WITH THE MOST POTENTIAL:
1. Mxhome launcher- this launcher to me rivals many launchers for the top spot with its majy unique qualities. Nothing truly makes this standout like the others besides the fact that there's this clock like dock om the first page that has 3d motions and you can customize it. Its definetly a launcher that's worth showing off to friends and its a very good launcher to play with. Since I believe this launchers new give it time it will shine.

LAUNCHER MOST LIKE WINDOWS 7:
1. Launcher 7: If your looking for that launcher that's like the windows 7 experience while still having an android look no further this has most of the things that draws people to the windows device. Its clean and simple and your in and out of your phone in less than a minute and with several windows 7 app implementations in the market you can definetley go crazy mimicking windows 7. Use to be my favorite launcher but wanted something simpler while still having android feel. I should mention you can have a black status bar with this app this is probaly why I loved it soo much lol.

SIMPLEST LAUNCHER:
1. zeam launcher and taghome- this is a tie and it pretty much comes down to preference. So instead of me breaking these simple hardly takes up any space launchers go check them out. I will tell you this taghome takes less space and you can edit app drawer with categories. Zeam however has the screen preview with the pinch also you can edit columns and rows but like I said comes down to preference I prefer taghome its just as simple as zeam with more features besides screen previews.

MOST OVER PRICED AND FLASHY LAUNCHER:
1. Spb mobile shell- it cost the most point and fun to show off to friends but not a launcher someone might want to use daily.

LAUNCHER WITH THE MOST THEMES AND CUSTOM FEATURE BUT A RAW LAUNCHER:
1. Panda home is the launcher to get if you like themes and customizing your clock and your wallpapers and a lot of features its definetly a lot like adw but not that custom diffrence is that its free and still awesome. If you download ths make sure to download ferrari theme to from the market it makes your clock look so freaking good.

There's several other launchers out there to try but these launchers are the ones that I found that really stood out. Until next time readers take it easy and if I'm missing an awesome launcher just comment below. Trying out cool new launchers is like a new hobby lol

Smartphone wars 2

Okay best prepaid options out there in the U.S. you have all the major carriers prepaid. Options I personally believe the best options must be in front of your face but you still must search for it when it comes to prepaid though feel like I or someone I know has tried one of them lol.
Ill rank them from who I think has the best options and overall coverage/service.

1.virgin mobile
Ill admit they do have the tendancy to piss me off. The internet messess up occasionally but when it works its the fastest I've used I use an htc evo almost all the time because its my sisters phone and even when her internet is on 4g I get highly competitively speeds but sometimes otherwise its still pretty fast as for the phone I have I currently have the optimus v and I must say this is best bang for your buck you got 25$ unlimited everything except minutes you only get 300 , 40$ you get unlimited everything and 1200 minutes and 60$ is just unlimited everything can't really beat that.

Then id have to say
2. Boost mobile

because just like virgin it uses sprint service only thing that holds boost back or gives it backseat to virgin is phone selection best phone they have is the samsung prevail and its a solid device for the price and what could land boost ahead of virgin is nextel chirp a lot of people still love that feature and its nice to have for business and pleasure

3. Cricket

I say cricket because there a pretty decent company. I've used them and besides a few text hiccups and coverage in my area they deliver a good experience for the price now that there offering more smartphones like the newly released samsung indulge. And they have rumoured dual core phone going to be released as well considering all that you can't knock them.

Only covering my experience with these phone companies I can't tell you much about others but prepaid is getting ready to be premier.

Alright again OS's

Windows 7 phone-

the os is for those who want to see all there info in a quick minute and get back to what there doing. The menus are elegant and the overall look and feel to me is the best of any os its simple and gets the job done. Only complaints is that they could have diffrent modes of OS like a horizontal look or 3d or you know something diffrent the panels are nice but after awhile it kind of gets bland. I like the xbox integration maybe we can use our phone's for the next gen xbox how cool would that be or actually be able to load our games to our phone or at least parts from it. I see the sky as the limit for the os and with more developer support and what I've mentioned above windows 7 and 8 when it comes out will run the os game. Also the zune integration is killer as well. I mean like I said if you want a phone with awesome potential windows 7 and 8 when its released will be killer. And the new partnership with zte and nokia its over good hardware and software now that's nice.

Blackberry-

A lot of people are and we're saying blackberry wouldn't last in the world of smartphones I disagree and the torch kind of helped me out. Blackberries deliver some of the best hardware on a phone I've had friends to do crazy stuff to there phone like one dropped his when he was on a pretty big rollercoaster and hardly no scratches alk about being tough my friend dropped his iphone from his chair what happened it cracked the screen lol. I just find that hilarious lol. But this is not a build quality test. Overall the business features of blackberry os is truly appealing once carriers drop those dumb blackberry internet services bill and get better multimedia player and bigger screens in the world of 4 inch and higher I think it will be business oriented peoples dream as well as a texter.

Iphone-

What dont you know about steve jobs and his I franchise that keeps people going crazy. The phone and the os use to explain itself. I'm just a little ticked at apple because they trying to sue samsung over galaxy really samsung makes a lot of the parts that go in apple way to go apple now whose gonna make them especially that processor lol. Then they say they love to fly above and beyond as the innovators but there ios5 rips off every platform known to man. I wonder what true apple fans are feeling now they can't say nothing about any platform.

Android-

Android is the best platform right now. Abilty to change the look of your interface without jailbreaking. Best hardware out of any OS. The ability to download torrents everything about android makes you love it. Its mostly the customization


But yes that's all about smartphones in the u.s to me

Smartphone wars part 1

Everyone out here including greatyb grandmas to great grandchildren today have or at least have the desire to own a smartphone.

I personally live in the U.S. so the major carriers here are Verizon, at&t, sprint and t mobile. Maybe in a couple of months it will be at&t mobile, verizon and sprint due to the possible merger of at&t and t mobile but back to what's important. I'm not saying which company is bst because it depends on where you live.

Lets instead start this way breaking the best phone's down by carrier, then best from all carriers, best prepaid option, (not going to break down specs and all that other stuff im just giving you something you can, google, bing, live search, or yahoo lol) and then ill give the advantages of diffrent mobile smartphones and there os.

First lets start with :

1. Verizon: on verizon you have an arsenal of smartphones and well you should for the price lol.
You have the htc thunderbolt, the lg revolution for the speed and droid pro, droid 2 for the texters, the droid x2 and samsung fascinate for the screen. Then you have droid bionic and the galaxy s2 variant and another rumoured phone. Then you have the iphone and windows 7 phone there's not many windows 7 phone's on verizon due to tue fact there mostly gsm most windows phones go the route of at&t and tmobile. As for the iphone well by this time everyone knows what an iphone is so no reason to explain it people love it I'm not bias when it comes to phone OS I love the windows 7 interface its simple and the menus are elegant, iphone is simply gorgeous and its well refined, blackberry is a texters best friend and its simple but complex at same time, android gives the best overall of everything you can download torrents, you got flash and awesome hardware. Not bias either I own a itouch gaming is smoother as well as audio, I have an android phone, I love what windows is doing, and I know some blackberry fiends lol and that keyboard is awesome.

2. At&t

Well the iphone made it what it is today but seems like windows 7 seems to be making a storm with the samsung focus, dell venue, and the htc7 all adequate smartphones. Android smartphones making a splash as well with the htc inspire, samsung infuse, htc aria, motorola atrix and the new lg 3d which is suppose to be coming soon and a us version of the galaxy s2

3. Sprint

Everyone knows sprint powerhouse was the evo so everyone knows the new evo 3d will be the new flagship but sprint has many smarphones that put a smile on your phone, they have the adequate windows 7 phone the arrive, they have the possible iphone coming out, they have the evo shift the samsung epic and its successor is the galaxy s2 variant, they also have some other power hitters coming this summer like the new blackberry and the motorola photon

4. T mobile

They always get the best phones to me and they get them fast they have the g2, couple blackberries, g2x, ht sensation, they have basically All the phones from windows 7 in the us lol. The list goes on and on they even may or may not receive the galaxy s2 special variant just like the epic was to the first galaxy s series.

Busyyy

Ughhh talk about being busy for the past two months I feel like I have no time to be even more productive. I have work at least 4 days a week, im currently working on my novels im done with one but im currently working on three more, and im also working on my t shirt designs and the list goes on and on I said im officially back in my last post so im trying to get back to my groove of making new post every week even multiple post sometimes lol either way it gets even harder since I have to go on the web and since I use a optimus v which is an android I get full web so I cant make simple post like id want thats why im getting a twitter make simple updates so you guys can know what im up to no matter whatever it is so ill post my twitter name up here and all you guys gotta do is go to twitter.com and click follow that simple ;) thanks for your time
