I haven't tried all launchers in the PLAY STORE but below are the few I've used.


*Solo launcher - it's a simple launcher, person fit no know say u install launcher sef because it's blends with the phone, but I most say it is really 'POWERFUL'.

*SMART LAUNCHER - it arranges your app and icons in a ring format, makes it look very cool, its quite simple too..

*NEXT LAUNCHER - it's a gamers launcher, it has the coolest 3D effect.. it turns your device into a 'mini TRANSFORMER' .. LOL .. (from my observation, E DEY CHOP BATTERY SHA).


*APUS LAUNCHER - I call it the 'lovers launcher', it has this new feature that allows you to change the wallpaper on your device and it changes that of your lover too, isn't that lovely? .. Apus launcher has a lot of downloadable themes to choose from (the PINKO theme Na my favourite sha).

*APEX LAUNCHER - it's a clever launcher, with a lot of features, it has a paid version which is 'cooler' with drawer and gesture controls.

*ACTION LAUNCHER - Is your device running on Android lollipop? if yes, abeg download action launcher, it totally embraces the lollipop version, with it wonderful transition effect.

GO LAUNCHER - how could I do this without mentioning the GO launcher, I guess it's the most popular launcher on Google play, it's cool 'sha' ... at least a lot of people like it, it has millions of downloads.

NOVA LAUNCHER - Nova launcher is a nice launcher, it has a feature or two from all the launchers mentioned above and got a good rating from it's user with over 4.5 star.

HOW TO QUIT SMOKING

 

   Not every addiction is a bad thing, but addiction to smoking cigarettes is a bad thing.

Below are tips to quit smoking or to cut down the smoking habit :

*Make up your mind to quit, it's only you that can easily make yourself quit cigarettes.

* Know how much you’re smoking – keep a written record. If you smoke automatically, without paying much attention to the habit, it’s easy to smoke more. 

Ask yourself before each cigarette: do I really need it? Can I postpone smoking it or even just leave it? Practise regaining psychological control. You can use various other ploys to make yourself more aware of each cigarette: smoke in a specific, unusual place (try facing into a corner, for example), or use your opposite hand to hold the cigarette.

* Analyse your other habits, e.g. eating, drinking alcohol, visiting the bunk (ghetto smoking chamber), spending time in smokey environments or with other smokers. Work on changing any behaviours that are conducive to smoking.

*Decide in advance how many cigarettes you'll smoke the following day, and remove the rest from the pack, as it would force to not to smoke more than you budgeted.

*Put off lighting your first cigarette of the day a little later each day, don't start your day with cigarettes.

*Don’t smoke cigarettes down to the butt. Smoke them only half or three-quarters.

*Change to a brand you don’t like. Or, try changing to a milder brand a few weeks before your quit date to help your body get accustomed to less nicotine - but make sure you don’t smoke more mild cigarettes, inhale them more, or cover the holes in the filters, so if you take the Marlboro brand change to Dorchester or any other brand you really don't like. 

*Don't empty your ashtrays: this reminds you of how many cigarettes you've smoked each day, and is aesthetically unappealing. Some people keep their cigarette butts in a glass jar as graphic evidence of their ‘dirty habit’.

*Put your cigarettes in places that are awkward to reach (like on a high shelf), or keep them in hard-to-open containers. This also helps to make you more conscious of each cigarette smoked. ( I once told my friend who is an Arsenal fan to keep his cigarettes in the Champions league Trophy. LoL. #JustKidding)

*Finish one pack before you buy another, and don’t buy cigarettes in bulk.

*Don’t carry cigarettes on you when you go out, so you won't take them when you go out.

*Don’t ask for or accept cigarettes from other smokers.

*Ask successful ex-smokers what methods they use to stay on the straight and narrow, and consider incorporating these into your own life.

*Start thinking about a quit date.

Stay healthy..
