I recently read about an app called Utter, that is getting close.

I have tried many of them including Asst., Google Now and Utter. For myself and what I use it for, to get off a quick text, email, make a call or to ask a simple question, Google Now has out shined the others for me. I do not want an assistant that wants to chat, I just want to get the job done quick and efficient. Utter is nice but being still in a beta it has it's ups and downs, Asst. just never really shined for me, I have given that one a few attempts over the last few months, but again Now just always seems to work a little smoother than the others. Do not get me wrong they all have their own flaws, my advise is try several and find out which preforms to a level you are happy with.

Thanks for the notice of this one... I am playing with it and I have to say so far I am impressed.
+1 for Maluuba. Dragon Go! is a pretty cool one as well.

Why not? I'm considering buying it but wanna know if it's worth 15$
I like it, although I don't use it as my primary launcher. I switch back and forth between that and ADW EX.
It looks really good and it is very functional, and very fast. Works well to show people the "WOW!" factor as well.
I don't mind that I paid $15 for it, although that is relative to you.
Looks like I might not be buying it every time I try and get it from the market a pop up come up saying oops, an error has occurred lol

I think so, but "better" is pretty subjective.
It's more aesthetically appealing. Maybe not as simple to use though.

Are you running the market DPI fix by any chance? That's a known issue with it, but a work around is to buy apps from the market via web browser then you can download them from the app.
I wouldn't do it on a $15 app first try though, test it out on a 99 cent game or something first. It does work for me via that workaround.
My problem with SPB Shell is my games like shadow gun, nfs hot pursuit, modern combat etc.... Not working even Google Earth and some other apps are start crashing my TP is XRON 2.9.1

Yea I'm using the hacked market, thanks for the tip I'll try it and see how it goes
Edit: it worked thanks!
Edit 2: played around with it for a bit and didn't find it all to amazing so I uninstalled it then got an email from Google saying they would refund me the money, didn't even have to ask for a refund, that's pretty nice
Has anyone started to check out qualcomms battery guru app for our fone ? Is it any diff from othr apps? Does it work ?

Not sure yet. I've got it installed, but it's still in "Learning Mode" (and will be for another day and half). Once it "learns" enough, in theory it will kill background apps syncing, from what I gather. It doesn't sound new or revolutionary, but I'm going to give it a try anyhow and see how it works out. I probably won't have any results for a week or so.

I tried it but didn't like it. For any of your push apps it never learned even though I went into settings and change things around. But I would still not get gmail and aqua mail on a regular basis. If you don't have a lot of push stuff this could be a decent app as I did not notice battery life improving a little. But I need push and it had serious issues with it.
Facebook home is set to come out next week. Anyone jumping at the walls to get it?

I'm sure I work play around with it, but don't use Facebook enough to make it my launcher. Not sure why y'all are bashing it, everyone that had reviewed it says that it works well and is very polished. It's just not for the tech crowd

If it works very well/very polished, don't see why you'd say that then. I don't know anyone who doesn't use fb, techies included.
If XDA made a launcher, I wouldn't use it most likely either unless it had more options than the current launchers on the market. I sure as hell wouldn't go around saying this launcher is just for the techies though.
I don't see the harm in trying it out. I backed the Chameleon launcher and used it for awhile on my nexus 7. Then I tried it for awhile on my N2 when it came available. I'm not currently using it on either, but I don't see any harm in trying it out.

I agree. At least take a look and see what the competition is up to!
Most of you are replying about the launcher, where as I see his question is : "Anyone going to get the home?" meaning the phone itself.
To my answer.. No.
Actually, the phone is the HTC First which comes with Facebook Home pre-installed. I will not get the phone, but will try FB Home.

I've seen a couple of threads here and there in regards to multitasking, however the responses are all over the place. Before I actually go and return my S4 for a One, I would like to know how well multitasking works. Are apps still constantly refreshing? Some say that HTC has still implemented their aggressive memory management functions into the software (not as bad as the One X though) and some report that it works perfectly well. The phone seems amazing and all, but if it can't multitask then it is an absolute deal breaker for me. Same reason why I returned my One X at the time. Anyone who has had the device for some time care to shed some light?

Thanks for the reply. I don't know if they fixed it later down the road or whatever, but it was known that the One X would constantly refresh apps. There are a plethora of threads on this. I find it odd how you never had a problem.. or maybe you just weren't as picky as the rest of us?

The apps I multitask with have been doing fine. The HTC One X was very aggressive but it is noticeably lighter on the One.
OCD kicked in and I actually went purchased one for retail price. If anyone was still wondering, it seems that apps are still refreshing, but not too aggressively. I need to test it for a day or two to see how it fares with the S4 when running games and so on. On the other hand..my God are the speakers amazing..

I've been challenging and being challenged to Wrestle Jump literally everyday and starting to use my phone for that more than anything else. It just works so well on this screen and the game play is so simple that literally anyone and try it and dominate.
This kinda lead me to wonder what other people are going to as their main app that they use everyday. Maybe not so much addicted to, but just your one app that you go to for entertainment each day.

I use SiriusXM on my phone every day. The on demand service is pretty darn good. I am totally addicted to it and would be very pissed off if I didn't have it. :highfive:
My addition is SanGuoSha (HD). this is based on Chinese story "Three Kingdoms" and it has the capability of playing both online or offline. It has great AI strategy when you play with the phone and the graphics etc are top notch!
Being in NYC, you don't have cell coverage quite often, in this self-claimed best city of the world. Especially in the subways, yet we still call other countries or cities (Shang Hai) emerging market, when infrastructure like cell signal and data there is literally everywhere. Anyways, when no signal, SanGuoSha is very fun game to have.
sorry for the cynical comments, that is uncalled for.

I use that as well and really enjoy it. Also I use Google Music with All Access all the time.
For me it's finding Xposed mods and Google All Access music. I loveeeeeeee all access. O and also battery stats plus, been trying to figure out why my battery life seems to suck.
When ive got nothing to do for a while, I play DroidRider. Kind of like LineRider that I used to play back in the day. With the SPen, it makes things so much easier.

That's really it. I'm kind of a one pump chump on apps. I download tons and only end up using them once or twice, get bored, delete, rinse and repeat.
The only game I find myself often playing, and always have installed is Zen Pinball with about 12 purchased tables for variety. However, I definitely suggest Spirit XHD, superb with the S-Pen, and Super Hexagon. The latter is extremely difficult but very addicting and super simple to play.
