Develop Bugs

Hey EVO users...... GET IN HERE!

How do yall feel about SPB Shell 3D? I think It's going to be better then adw and LPP put together. It's priced at $14 tho which is crazy!
I want to know who is using this already and who's not. I want to purchase it but I want some incite on this bad boy first. So tell me (if u use it) what do you like about it.
Thanks....

Really cool concept, but I felt it got old and gimmicky after 5min with it. I returned it. Not worth $15 imo, but some people love it. There is a long thread in general about it.

That's kinda how I felt. I downloaded with 4share and played with it before uninstallin after 5 mins and deleted the apk off of the SD (that's how I do before I make a purchase if they don't have a trial or demo). I feel its early for it but dammit in s few months It's going to take ove'!
Imma go check that thread out too

Yeah, I downloaded it, backed it up with Titanium and uninstalled it for the refund and restored from Titanium in case I wanted to use it longer than 15min to decide whether or not to purchase.
For $5 it would be a home run. For $15, better make me a sammich.

I didnt like SPB Shell 3D much, seems like a memory hog. I just got Regina Launcher, it seems pretty cool but not for me. Back to Launcher Pro again.

I tried to get on the beta for this back when I had my vibrant. Personally I like it. I guess it's something different. The $15 tag is a bit hard to swallow though.

I checked it out. Looks cool. But no demoware/trial. Fifteen bucks is hard to swallow with what a 15min return period.. I'll stick with GO Launcher for now.

Exactly lol... I guess we have to wait until it gets better over the course of updates. But to the naked eye, It's the sh!t! Welp, you guys helped me save 15 dollars by switching my insurance to Gieco! Wait... I mean by telling me the real deal about SPB LOL... thanks

I currently use it and I like it but I really wish I didn't pay 15 bucks for it. It beter smd with a new update or I will be dissapointed. I figured that it's so new it still will advance with future updates because in the couple weeks I've had it, its updated about 3 times. I think for 5 bucks it would be great but I can't help but feel that I wasted 15 bucks on a launcher, till I get a 3d phone that can actually take advantage of the 3d capabilities. In conclusion, I would wait for a price drop or something because it's nice but not worth 15 bucks.

Wouldn't it have to have been designed with autostereoscopy in mind in order for it to be 3D on the upcoming 3D phones? Considering there are no phones with this capability out right now, I doubt that they incorporated the 3D technology needed into the software now. Even with the Evo 3D, it would look exactly as it does on your phone now.
Anyone that knows more about this can feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Personally i think is decent but not as good as Launcher Pro. It has some nice 3D effects but after a while that the only thing. I try it but i when back to launcher pro shortly.
That is my opinion

i think it's great. I really like it. As much as I like it I don't think it's worth $15 bucks. You can purchase it, try it out, and if you don't like it refund it.
My previous launcher was ics launcher in case you'd like a free alternative.

Personally the launcher great as it is but the idea of SPB shell was functionality but that after the tons of updates the app gets. As it is on the WinMo its the most feature rich launcher and it will take time for our android version to reach the functionality the WinMo version had. I recommend to keep a eye on it for when it reaches it full potential $15 would be a steal, at the moment its just its beginning stage with SPB using the money to support the launcher.

I used it for a while. It was okay, but not worth the price. I now use go launcher instead.

I have it and dont use it. I just wont give any launcher a chance until it has the ability to hide apps in the drawer. I dont need to see adobe flash/reader and adfree etc in there non stop. It also eats battery relentlessly.

The app drawer is just a list of all installed applications, why would you want to hide some? Are you using the app drawer to run your apps then? If so, why not make some folders instead on your homescreens? You can group the apps you want to use into folders (games, apps, system, etc), only putting in the ones you want. Spb shell has nice folders, or you could use simi folder widget, etc instead.

I use it with cm7 rom and its great....I tryed all the launchers..and this one is really awesome

Saw that a few weeks ago and i cant wait!
I discovered a launcher called Claystone thats 3d, and has some good customization, as well as themes!

I use it. In fact i have been using them since win 6.5 days. Which is where most people that use it come from i would bet.
Its freaking awesome , and i no know of no other launcher that gives you the ability to add screens more than the reg 5. i have 16 lol. i also use it with go-launcher ,go-sms go-contacts etc. Which makes it kind of a hybrid but none the less its worth the 15 bucks to me. i also can ti my settings and move them from one device to another. I even have the same stuff on my flyer. So all my crap is there in the same place no matter what device i pick up for the day. Its hard really to beat that.
And yes i have played with every launcher out there. I like a few of them i just like this one more. As far as battery drain i haven't seen any difference between this one and others.

TSF Shell

Is anyone brave enough to drop 17 bucks on this new launcher? Apparantly it is as awesome as the videos released awhile back. Anybody have any thoughts on this? Im about to take the plunge and purchase it but would like to know if anybody else has tried it yet and feels that its worth it.

There isn't enough flashy effects or options that would ever have me drop $15+ on a launcher. To each their own. Most free or low priced launchers are plenty smooth with all the options I need or want.

i was just about to post asking about this when i saw this thread. is the epic able to handle it well?
it sounds like people are going by bad first impressions. the problem is i would be shocked if this thing didn't take awhile to adapt to. can you guys who tried it honestly say you would not come to love it once you adapt?
the functionality and looks seem amazing and i was shown the video by my friend who uses a bionic and he loves it. does it lag on the epic?
but yeah 17 bucks is steeeeep in a culture that doesn't like to pay for apps already.

For that much money id better like it right away now have to "adapt" to it. That's crazy expensive...

haha true but they show most of the features in the video so you should be going in knowing that you'll eventually be able to move everything around that fluidly, but will take a bit of getting used to. shouldn't be more than a few hours i'd imagine.
anyway i'm thinking of taking the plunge when i get home, just wondering if those who tried it got bad lag or anything on our dated phones

It actually runs just as the video does, I dnt dislike it but its just extremely complicated. Def not worth 17 bones, but having aquired it *cough* thru alternative means *cough* I can say it is a very pretty launcher.

Man, I've been wanting this Launcher for 2 months, and its 17 bucks? Forget it.

Heh. My GF loved the SPB launcher, but i finally converted her to ADW. Might sneak her over to GO Launcher next update.
Still, I felt $15 was to much, but $17 is just an absurd amount for just a launcher.
This Epic post was brought to you via Tapatalk

Been using this for a few days. I like it and its nice eye candy but... definitely NOT worth $17. Honestly, no launcher is.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

the most ive EVER paid for a launcher is nova launcher prime...and that was only 4 bucks. 17 bucks?? for a phone app?? ONLY if i was rich... or maybe if i had a really nice tablet or something, but not on my epic. cm9 with nova works perfect for me. i wshould look at this video tho, now im curious to what a 17 dollar launcher looks like. anybody find it on 4shared mobile yet?? :x

unfortunately this is a terrible launcher.
It's unintuitive
Features that one might look for aren't there.
Memory hog
this are some of the falling points of the launcher, but that doesn't make it bad enough.
There is no free version of this launcher, no way to give it a test drive before you get down and dirty with it.
You MUST drop over 17 dollars on it!
WOAH!
Hold the phone a minute.
Seventeen dollars for a launcher, a homescreen.
What does it do for these 17 dollars of mine?
It launches other apps.
What else?
That's about it.
Well does it at least have some sort of cool effect that shows you're using a powerful phone capable of handling an app that costs seventeen bucks?
No. It has very simple graphics.
Why does it cost so much then?
Eh. Why not?
Bottom line:
Crappy app not worth the money.

It's real snappy yet it does cause a slight lag in other apps on mines. Although pricey...I still kinda like it.

So something I've been really looking forward too, as well as a lot of other Android Tablet owners, is the upcoming Chameleon Home Replacement.

In the most recent update video from today however he actually appears to hold up a Galaxy Nexus with some form of Chameleon running.

I think it would work for the Gnex. Its 4.0.4 which is above 3.2, and the screen reso is 1280 by 720, which is HD and need for this. I hope it works anyways.

Live wallpaper has had little affect on battery life for the last few Android releases. Screen on time and talk time is what will affect battery life.

Yeah doubt that will happen, they have the issues squared away (or so they say) so they won't be susceptible to the problem they had the last time.

Oh this is awesome news for my Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Tab 10.1 - now they will be in harmony.

This looks promising I will be following.

So, who else is bored?

I have had nothing but Android phones (primarily) since the Nexus One originally came out. And I get bored with things real quick. I know Android is the best mobile OS at the moment but man, I am really getting bored of the same old thing every day and the new BB Z10 looks quite appealing..
Anyways, whats some stuff I could do to hopefully cure my boredness? I know about launchers but Apex, Nova and even GO all kinda look and feel the same. What are some things I could do to spruce them up a bit? I have tried new icons and slightly different arrangements but haven't had much luck.
Any ideas?

if your into designing and artistic stuff...go to mycolorscreen.com and check out some of their homescreens...you can find tutorials or draw inspiration from some of the pages
i often get bored when things settle and i dont flash a rom (with a purpose-new features etc..) or change the look of my homescreens for a while too

I feel the same way. Right now I have my phone exactly the way I want and the things I want running Jedi Masters 10:
1. Free hotspot tethering
2. Working Google Wallet
3. Wifi calling
4. Great speed and good battery life
5. some tweaks like auto-correct samsung keyboard, s-pen keyboard switcher (don't use)
I pretty much don't have anything else I need. The only thing I haven't done is update to the latest LTE firmware. I'm thinking about flashing the new Frosty rom, but it's missing the samsung and google wallet features. I'm sure I can just manually get these features in by tweaking but am just too lazy.
So kinda boring here but in a good way.
I think if you get the z10, it'll give you that couple of weeks of freshness and after that you'll need something new again...that's just the way it is.

Yeah that pretty much sums it up for me too, everything is working 100% properly with no bugs but I just want something different. Back in my HTC days I'd probably be bunny hopping between CM and Sense right now lol. But then again, not everything would be working and there would be tons of bugs so..
