Premium Suite Upgrade for Galaxy SIII (Part 1)

auto 8:43 AM

Just as we saw when Android 4.1.2 rolled out to international Samsung Galaxy S3's starting with Poland, the Premium Suite upgrade adds quite a few features and enhancements for Galaxy S3 owners. To show off those goods, Samsung has now posted up part one of a series of demo videos that highlight the changes headed our way. In short, it's a mixture of stuff from the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 as well as theSamsung Galaxy Note 10.1. Here's what you can expect:

Contextual Awareness

Page Buddy: Your phone will smartly predict what you intend to do according to your actions. For example, when you plug in your earphones, the device automatically opens up a page with the music player.
Contextual Menu: When you list up apps, you can now choose to see the most frequently used ones first. Especially convenient when you’re looking through apps to find files to attach.
Contextual Tag: When you take a picture on the phone, you can tag the weather, date, and place immediately.

Enhanced Features

Multi Window: You can open two different apps at the same time into two different windows on the mobile screen.
Auto Share Shot Pairing using NFC: By setting the camera to ‘Auto Share Shot’ mode, you can quickly share your photos and videos by simply tapping their GALAXY S III with other NFC and S-Beam enabled devices
Reader Mode: You can easily control the size of the text on your browser! Also, you can just click the webpage to share it!
Facebook Lock Ticker: The easiest way to see your Facebook News Feeds – set your phone to show it on your lock screen.

It's a pretty awesome pack to have arrive on an already great device but alas, the typical disclaimer applies here. Samsung notes that availability and timing of the Premium Suite upgrade will vary depending on the country and mobile carrier.

Greyhound - Android Homescreen Tutorial

android 10:23 AM

Credits go to xNiikk for this mad homescreen!
http://mycolorscreen.com/xNiikk/

Everything you need to apply is in the link here:
http://www.screenlicious.com/2012/11/26/greyhound/

Link to the mycolorscreen page for this screen:
http://mycolorscreen.com/2012/11/27/greyhound/

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Part 1: Applying SSLauncher and its settings

Here is the link for SSLauncher, it's very tricky to get used to, but is very orginal and very, very customizable...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.launcher&hl=en

All you need to change is the page wallpaper, provided in the link above, hide the status bar as well as the dock.
Also the "Hide Labels" needs to be applied in the "label fonts and style" setting when you select the "Pages" option.

***You can also you Apex Launcher if you are more comfortable using it***

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Part 2: UCCW components

Sorry I can't provide the icons, just check the link above and download from xNiikk's website. The skin uses Quicksilver Bold font, and contains my location, date, time and current temperature. To make the clock have a dot instead of a colon, choose hour and minute separately, then make the full stop a suffix after the hour :) Mad!

The other skin on the right was also UCCW, adding in 3 images, with notifications for battery, gmail and text messages.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Part 3: Adding in the RSS Icon and Search Widget

This part is little different, as SSLauncher is extremely customizable for this part. Hold down the homescreen and choose add shortcut.
To open a RSS app, choose Application in Action Type (or page if you want to open the the Hot! Page in the case of the star) and choose your preferred rss feader (news) app.
Change your icon to a blank png as provided, and make the background transparent (not the icon BG the shortcut BG).

***Always remember to tap apply settings after each step else it will forget***

Simi Folder here was just a quick simple setup, but I shall provide a tutorial for it very soon :) Here is the link for the app:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.th.android.widget.SiMiFolde...

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks very much for watching this tutorial, I hope you enjoyed it :)

Steel - Android Homescreen Tutorial

android 10:21 AM

Credits go to GaRyArTs for this mad homescreen!
http://mycolorscreen.com/garyarts/

Everything you need to apply is in the link here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15951305/steel.zip

Link to the mycolorscreen page for this screen:
http://mycolorscreen.com/2012/11/30/steel-5/

Part 1: Applying Apex and its settings

Here is the link for Apex Launcher Pro, as it comes with a few key features needed for this screen as well as many others:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anddoes.launcher.pro&hl=en

Key changes here would be changing the 'portrait grid' to 9x7, manage screens should be changed so that there are only 2 screens, 'Wallpaper mode' should be single screen and 'Hide notification bar' should be ticked. Back to the main screen, change your Dock Settings by scrolling down and selecting 'Hide Dock'. Next would be to go back into the main screen, go into advanced settings, and select 'Overlapping Widgets'. Finally change your wallpaper to the one provided in the link above.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Part 2: Adding the UCCW Widgets

Simply add the UCCW widgets that are provided in the link at the top. This can be done by copying them onto your phone then selecting them when you choose "Open uzip" on the UCCW menu.

Also remember to ALWAYS resize your widgets, dragging them will simply move everything around, not good...

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Part 3: Adding in the Homescreen Indicators and App Drawer

The app drawer can be added quite easily, just add the "App drawer" in the Apex Actions when you hold down on the homescreen. Then hold down on it, go edit, then select the icon provided in the link above.

For the Homescreen changers at the top, use the Apex Actions (holding down on the homescreen) and selecting Screen 1 and Screen 2. After changing the icon to the blank png, you can simply tap these to jump to the next screen, mad!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Part 2: Adding in the "Open App" icons

This part is little different, as SSLauncher is extremely customizable for this part. Hold down the homescreen and choose add shortcut.
To open the app drawer, choose Page in Action Type (or app if you want to open an app) and choose the apps page in the target.
Change your icon to a blank png as provided, and make the background transparent (not the icon BG the shortcut BG).

***Always remember to tap apply settings after each step else it will forget***

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Part 3: Adding the Minimalist Text

I simply used MT here as it does the job quick and simple.
Here is the MT link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.devmil.minimaltext&hl=en
I'm not providing the preferences as it's quicker just to add in the clock
Use a 1x1 widget size, and change the font size to black and size 40.
Custom layout is 24hr 2 digits and minutes 2 digits.
