Exactly what is it? I saw the site pushing HTC but... It's a Launcher? Piece of trash (more likely)?

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 just wanted to let everyone know that this excellent security app is offering FREE life time memberships (licenses basically) until February 29th to mark having a hundred thousand users. To get it, just install the apk, create an account, than go here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFR4VHNka3czd2FJV2FIaXFYTHp0aGc6MQ
The best thing about Cerberus is it's root permissions to do things like force GPS on if it's off, take pictures if people try and access your phone and email the picture to you, and of course send it's location to you along with standard wipe my phone functionality. Definitely worth checking out. You can find it in ROM Manager or on the Market. If you get it from ROM Manager it will install the apk into your system apps so that it survives factory resets and will still provide all of it's functionality.
Oh and I'm sourcing the find to Android Police.

Hi everybody, TouchType Ltd. have decided to release their latest beta for the ever popular SwiftKey today for free
Seeing as the demand for the beta is hammering their servers, I decided to upload the .apk to my dropbox for everybody to enjoy. Just download and install like you would with any other app
Here's the file: http://db.tt/GHjXdQi7
FYI, this is a FREE, OPEN beta and therefore this is a FREE APP. I understand the rules of xda, and I do not condone or promote pirating in any way!
I got it from them and I really like it so far.

I bought swift key x, for some odd reason i can't get away from the stock android keyboard.
I like it, but think I still prefer Perfect Keyboard. It seems to me the new smart space feature in the Swiftkey is a little too agressive. I sometimes end up getting spaces where I didn't want them.
i guess i'm the only one who thought it's terrible? I tried it to see if its any better than AI Type that I've been using for over a year. I switched back.

Ha ha...I typically have the opposite problem with swiftkey products - try to add 2 spaces after a sentence and end up with a predicted word instead. I always have to turn off "space bar inserts predicted word" because of this, and it kinda hinders the usability of swiftkey.
Made it about 14 hours (8 of which I was sleeping) before going back to swype
SwiftKey works really well for me. Swype is annoying and the samsung keyboard is awful.

I was confused about the question mark too, but today I realized that if you swipe the period key to the left, it automatically uses the other available punctuation depending on how far you swipe. Pretty cool
It took some getting used to, but u love this feature now.

I didn't like that - I also don't know why they swapped the mic button and the number/symbol button. And there's no way I can find to turn off the aggressive parsing of one word/filename into a sentence.
I went back to the original Swiftkey - new is not always better

GPS Spy MobileGPSpy and Secret SMS Replicator are two apps you might like to look at.
Is there any mobile app to check the data usage of all the connections on the same network.
Assume i have a wireless router, i want to check which connection is using how much data of my wireless network at real time through my mobile.

You can block certain URLs with rom toolbox pro, but could be, that there is a slimmer app to fulfill your task.
However, I guess you'll need root and an app to hide other apps.

when you want to block all 3x sites you should install a "per -ip" filter...to unblock only IP's that "meet your morality"

good can't always combat the naivete of youth. An alert parent can sense somethings up so if he/she feels the need to dig deeper than I'm glad such tools exist. Frankly that's part of the job. Kids in general don't do as well with parents who are always trying to be there buddy. Just be sure that if you do find something to not disclose methods and means and F it up for others
This is going nowhere fast.

Also happening to me as well, thought it might just be ICS or Jellybean since I noticed it first on my new TF300T that was just upgraded to Jellybean. Still have Gingerbread on my S2 and it's doing it there as well. Maybe a Playstore bug?
yea, bug or feature of playstore itself. I hate it. So now I autorestore apps from fresh flash, or use TiBu. but searching for apps, make sure you got the name exact or use PC play store.

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.
