After months of deciding which phones to get. I got Note II on contract in December, and another Z10 contract last month. Only been using the Z10 as an iPod mostly atm. Anyway, since having the the Note II, I haven't done much customization wise and stuff. Just got a live wallpaper and downloaded a lot of apps that I don't use, they also create a lot ads... I was thinking, do people recommend launchers? Widgets? The only custom thing I've done is try a few keyboards and bought Swift Key half price, and an Otterbox case. Is rooting necessary?
