I'd like to re-recommend Helium. I had a rooted S2 and just upgraded to an HTC One. I wasn't too keen on rooting the One straight off the bat and Helium let me stay unrooted but still get all my Whatsapp messages, game highscores, etc. All it needs is a companion app on your desktop operating system of choice and it works like a charm.

An app that I would like to recommend is Sidebar Pro, there's a Lite version available as well.

Thanks. Btw if you ever feel like it try Gsam battery monitor, it shows per app usage.

Sounds good! Will give it a bash.
I can become a bit OCD when it comes to battery drainage (as I'm sure is the case with a lot of smart phone users). Sometimes battery monitoring apps exasperate the condition.
I was pedantic with my jailbroken iPhone to the point where so much is disabled or toned down or modded or tweaked that it ruins the experience to some extent! Promised myself I wouldn't "battery watch" with the S4...

More a fan of Power tutor myself, yes the UI looks crap but the info helped me get rid of crap applications more than once.
Yeah battery OCD will turn your smart phone into a dumb one
.I just keep this running in the background to keep tabs on any newly installed battery drainers that I can live without...

So, there any chance of getting in on invite action?
Looks a bit like Everything.Me. That was a nice concept, but slowed my SGS2 right down. Does this do the same?
Fortunately no! It's really fast and slick. I'm just unsure if I like the basic idea of a dynamic launcher. I'm more at home when I know exactly where I've placed each icon. That said, I think Aviate has potential.

Does it do navigation? Doesn't look like it.
