I'm just thinking of ways to unlock my S3's full potential. I just got Flash, and I have Appdroid, so I can basically get any app I want.

How did you guys soup up your Android? Any further recommendations?

Ever since the android 4.0 update the OS has had so much freedom and personality to it. I don't have too much that makes it unique, just a couple of emulators, a live wallpaper, and a bunch of widgets, but I could do way more.

What you are referring is called rooting it is basically the same as jail braking I couldn't give you a long explanation here so try looking it up on YouTube or something but before trying any root you see in a video MAKE SURE IT IS COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR MODEL,DEVICE,AND VERSION IF NOT YOU RISK BRICKING YOUR DEVICE ... and if you are not aware of what bricking is well basically you would be out of a phone tablet or whatever you are using

Hope this helped!!!

Thanks, but I kinda meant improving your device while keeping it totally vanilla. I may root mine in the future, but I just got it a few months and I don't think it's necessary at the moment.

Well, I have been using a wide variety of custom roms for ages and I have always been satisfied with Cyanogenmod or MIUI when it comes to the ability to customize the appearance and get the most out of your device(s).
If there is any question I would be glad to answer those for you as I know all about this and have made my own custom roms.
