First of all dont quote huge posts it makes thread looks messy, plz edit ur post.
Yes it works with stock rom and changes icons (this feature is in paid version only), i have tried on stock xwki5 and xwla4 all icons r changing expect status bar color and other unsupported icons like 4g.
Btw whenever messing with system stuff its recommended to keep a backup, so dont forget to make a backup first.

Gs2 people use to use GPS STATUS to solve any problem with GPS lock.
Lock once with that and your problem is gonne.
You aldo can clear you GPS data to start over.
You can find the FLIPBOARD apk on the i777(sg2 at&t) forum.
Thats a new Android blog reader that came with the new SG3 released this month.

voice navigation
how exactly do i go about using voice navigation on google maps
As an audio downloader, usound isn't working for me, it fails every search, try 4songs, is really good.
I can't find a Google Play link, sorry, it seems that it has been banned from it, but you can get it from other sources.
As a music player, I like very much musicXmatch, it searches for the lyrics of every song and shows you the albums where it's included, you also can buy songs from inside the app and hear some seconds for free.

You have to use the hacked Google maps by ownhere, try searching the apps section of XDA and you'll find the updated release
I'm assuming you're staying in a place where google navigation doesn't work

If you want a PC Like UI For your Android Device, here is how to do it!!!
You don't even need to format to use this method! All you need is a Launcher From the Google Play Store!
So you can Keep CM And its nice Boot Screen or any other rom your using.
1. Open The Google Play Store (Or a Website you get apks from)
2. Search Leena Desktop UI
The Icon is a PC With an L. With Buttons on the bottom
3. Install it
4. Last Set Leena As your Default Launcher.
Your Done!
When you tap the home key, You see your Andorid Phone or Tablet has the UI of a PC
Please Note as of 9-30-18, The app is in Beta as it says on the app so there will be bugs such as Resting to Small Text when you open the Launcher, Moving Around Windows Doesn't Always Work, etc.
Features:
1. Web apps (On the Dock By Default)
List of Web Apps
- Dropbox
- Evernote
- Facebook
- YouTube
- Twitter
- Linkedin
- Instagram
- Pinterest
- The XING Website
- Google Drive
These web apps let you open their websites without opening an app witch lets you multi-task!
2. You Can move and Resize windows!
3. The Built in Apps!
List of apps
-A File Explorer
-A Text Editor
-A Browser
-Show Apps (It Brings a macOS Like Launchpad UI To The Launcher!)
-What to send the Developer Feedback, Click Send Feedback Online
-Also The Upgrade Leena app Lets you Upgrade The Launcher!
These Apps will run in a Windows Like the Web Apps!
4. Like macOS, You Drag Apps or Even Files to The Dock To a Shortcut to them, and like macOS, you can Drag a Shortcut out of the Dock to remove the Shortcut!
Man! This Launcher is alot like macOS
5, Again! This has a title bar like macOS Where can see you battery settings, Change Wi-Fi Settings and Even Change The Volume, will you can just use the Volume Rockers for that as you know every Android Device has Volume Rockers (Even the Very Cheap Tablets that you can't do anything on and The Kindle Fire's that are not branded as Android Tablets but they are android Tablets have Volume Rockers :good
6, No ads Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyways, Enjoy the Windows/macOS UI For your Android Device!
