Setting up your Android smartphone: The sequel

20 June 2013
OK, it's a sequel and these don't always work as planned. But we had fun the first time and got a great response. It sure looked like you enjoyed it too. At the turn of last year, we had a go at how we'd set up a brand new Android device...

    its out of the box "properly"

    its about personalize ur phone the way u like it, so the phone is more "you"

    some people just happy with the original UI, some ppl wants more to make their phone their "OWN decorated HOME" , thing u could never do with other OS .

                            I'm well familiar with all these products and I also tried them on my Galaxy SIV. But what surprises me is that there's nothing here about the Go Launcher...
