If you are not rooted then your best option to restore your home screens and widgets is to use an alternative launcher that allows you to backup / restore your settings. Most of the popular launchers allow for this such as Apex, Holo HD, Nova, etc.. If you want to backup / restore your apps...

Thanks for the quick reply, since there does not seem to be a working root method for stock 4.3 (at least not confirmed as you said) for this phone, then I think I will stick to my current 4.1.2 rooted version for now. My last question is about unrooting and going back to stock. I have read the...

Hello, As I am sure most of you know by now the 4.3 update is rumored to be rolling out for our devices any day now, and I have a few questions that I have been unable to find any solid answers for so I thought I would take a few moments and ask about them now so that I can be prepared if /...

Hello, A friend of mine gave me her old Nexus S phone today and after playing around with it for a few moments I noticed that the color profile on the phone seems to be way off compared to my other phones. For example, purple objects look almost pink, red / orange objects are over saturated and...
