If you're rooted just use something like titanium to freeze the other launchers then you shouldn't have a problem.
I'm tempted to root especially if it'll improve battery life, is there actually a good rooting guide anywhere?
Kona, you'll be happy to know that the blue bar in the settings app has changed to black in the latest PAC release heh
edit - could you post a screen shot pls bud?
So how are you getting on with PAC Man 4.3, James?
On my s4 when I press apps its the same background as the main phone screen. Is there a way to change this so its a dark colour? as I have issues seeing the name of the apps (I am reg blind.)![]()

I honestly can't remember if the stock launcher does it, but other launchers like nova and apex do and they both have free versions available on the play store![]()
makes sense, this is in response to security concerns.. android is much less secure and the fact we all root and hack and flash and then try running banking apps perhaps points to the necessity for this.
Can't have it both ways I guess!
Worth mentioning if you update to MGG/MH8 you'll have flashed a locked bootloader and can't go back and downgrade (as of now). And that included your nandroids.People kicking off over at XDA about the new update. It sounds like Samsung have become more aggressive in locking down the system with it including;
- Blocking root
- Changes the SELinux from permissive to enforcing (someone care to explain that)
- Read only system
- Constant 'Prevention information' errors about apps
- Custom launchers are messed up because of the new permissions
It may be in preparation for KNOX. Some are even saying they are going to change to Sony if this continues - can't be said lightly![]()
What is the latest baseband version I am running MF8 i am guessing this is out of date now?
Also when i did the baseband update via Odin i noticed i stopped receiving notifications from my emails. I have to go into my email and sync even though i am setup to do this every 15 mins.
Any help I would be grateful.

I disabled the sliding animations straight away... they just really annoyed me.
Did you do that in dev option, so know you have no animations at all?
If you force JB app animation in Nova does that change it?
