SPB Shell 3d

Im looking for the SPB Shell 3d app, but im trying to get it for free. I tried a bunch of .apk files on 4Shared and all of them say "you have to purchase the app" is there a free working version of this app?
Thanks in advance.

You will find a lot of apk's saying its a cracked version, but they won't work for it. I bought it, but rarely ever use it. If it had more options to play with, then I probably would.

The concept of it is great BUT the UI design is just plain ugly. I would like to theme it myself though.

SPB Shell is cool in concept & design but for me at least, cumbersome in usability & lacking all around in user friendliness.

I use daily, but definitely lacking in options. Biggest so far is no option to increase number of rows and columns, and zero options for app drawer.

This! For anyone running there screen at a higher resolution a 4x4 grid just does not cut it.
Also, not being able to resize widgets, really? This app is $15!

Ok so most of you dont like spb.
Is there any other app out there, thats better than spb?

ssLauncher is definitely the most unique of the bunch. There is still one bug the developer is working on fixing and that is clock widgets are not updating. Besides that everything else had been pretty solid with it.

On ssLauncher, are you able to add effects like on GoLauncher?

There in effect that flips the pages like a magazine...The main thing with ssLauncher is that it gives you the ability to pretty much put anything, anywhere on the screen. If you want something more organized with a lot of screen transition animations, the other launchers would work better for you.

What is lost using Apex or Nova

What widgets, functionalities, and/or apps is lost from touchwiz by using nova or apex launcher?

I use nova, haven't noticed any features missing.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

The only thing I haven't figured out how to do with Apex that I can with TouchWiz launcher is change the wallpaper of both the home and lock screens. Can it be done?

Yes, just go to security I believe. The options are at the top.

Well technically touchwhiz is still running even when you install a third party launcher so you shouldn't be missing any built in functions like smart stay, direct call, etc. I haven't noticed any functionality loss due to installing Nova at all.

Thanks for the input. What about widgets. Coming from Sense, a lot of widgets were lost when I used a third party launcher.

I use apex.... And yes you loose the touchwiz widgets. There were only a few from what I remember as I hated touchwiz after 3 days, it wastes so much screen relistate. So you loose the touchwiz calendar, email, clock, and photo widgets..... I'm just going off memory though there might be more.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

The only thing I miss is being able to organize my app drawer into folders. I have yet to find anything with
APEX that allows me to do that. But there may be something out there to accommodate folders, but I'm not aware of it. If anyone does know or if it's built in, please let me know!

you don't lose the clock widget...

On Jelly Bean, what you lose is the ability to just toss items off the homescreen. You physically have to drag items to the "x" to remove them. You also lose the auto organizer feature when you drag widgets around.

For some reason in apex, it makes my widgets 5x(X) even though they're normally 4x(X)

While you can't do that in Apex Launcher (as of the time I am writing this), you can always go to Settings->Wallpaper (It will be under the device category) to change the lockscreen/homescreen/homescreen&lockscreen wallpapers.

Using Apex or Nova also does not allow the badge functionality you have on touch wiz. You know, the little red icons when you have a missed call or email message. It's a bummer as I do like this function; however, Nova is super awesome due to its gesture function.

Nova Prime ($4 in play store) has "Drawer Groups". I have all my apps categorized into communication, games, multimedia, shopping, and system tools. Those folders show up at the top of the drawer, and all the un-categorized apps show up below it.
I think it's still not as good as the ADW Launcher that was built into CM7 that I was using on my DroidX. With that I could make shortcuts on my home screen to an individual category, so the kids could easily get to games and only games.

I like the weather widget. I tried like 4 different launchers and it was not available on any of them. If anyone can figure how to make it work in nova or any of the other launchers, I'll switch over from touchwiz.

Icon Size and Text removal AKA Bigify for Android?

Anyone came up with an app for this?
I am not a fan of launchers running on top of any ROM and I read a lot about issues with apps and playstore after using LCD Density.
I currently switched from iPhone to Galaxy S3 and while the phone is great, icons are just not adequate to the screen.
There is an app called Bigify for iOS, is there anything at least similar for Android devices?
The main 3 options I am looking for:
1. change icon size
2. change angle of the icons by xy degrees (it looks fantastic!)
3. remove icon text
Here is a SS:

This actually would be very nice as it bothers me when the apps name is cut off because it's too long.. So being able to remove the text would be great!

Apex Launcher allows you to remove the app text or modify the title/icon. You cannot rotate it though.

Op running a different launcher has no actual problems
Say your using nova as default the phone won't have stock tw launched running in the background unless you open again

I am sorry but how are these answers to my question? As far as I am reading it correct I need to have a launcher and I cannot get a any angle and no name icons at the same time
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

It's what you asked for. They honestly helped you as much to their abilities.
That being said if you want angled apps look into making it yourself. I know that is not much of a answer you're looking but as of right now as far as I have seen there are no apps or mods to rotate apps.

There's one launcher that'll let you have the customization you want. It's rather expensive though.

Root your phone install a recovery and install paranoid android, google it, i think youll like it.

I got TFS Launcher and it runs great. I do have one question though.... Isn't there always a Launcher running over a rom? Otherwise you wouldn't be able to run any apps.

Touchwiz density change?

Hey guys, so I changed my LCD density, but touchwiz doesn't traditionally play nice with it, does anyone know if there's a way to alter touchwiz to change as well? If you can see in the picture there's a huge gap between my apps and dock. I cannot move apps below the line they're currently on.

Oh yeah.just looked at it closer didn't zoom in before.I noticed it shows the home screen dots right below that widget.I would think your only option is to try that other apk. I could try missing the layouts of the stock one but I'm pretty sure that's exactly what that other one has.
