SPB Shell 3D/Google Play Music widget - Sprint LG Optimus G

It looks like a very interesting launcher and I think this phone could handle it easily. Has anyone used it? It's pricey so I wanted some thoughts.
Also, this phone doesn't have a Google play lock screen widget. Can I get one?

SPB Shell is pretty nice. I used it on the Photon 4G. Ran well on that with Dual Core 1.0GHz and 1GB ram, so I am sure that it'll fly on this. Haven't tested it yet....May just do that...I paid for it, so why not, right? I'll let you know what I think.

Awesome. Would love to know how it is. I like stock a lot but I wanted to try out some launchers.

I use launcher pro, I have only one home screen, but I want to be able to have two screens but one have a scrollable widget that has all of my apps like the windows 7 phone.
Or something that will give me the same basic effect.

Handwritting with Asus Supernote

The size of the N7 makes it idea for taking notes - I can hold the device in one hand and write with the other in a way that's not possible with a 10" sreen. Amusingly the best app I've found for this is Asus SuperNote, but the menu buttons that normally appear on the bottom of a 10" screen don't appear on a 7". Bumping build.prop's ro.sf.lcd_density from 213 to 170 (root req) fixes it, but a system wide change like that for compatibility of one app is a less-than-ideal-solution imo.
Anyone have any ideas for another possible fix?
Just wait on paranoidandroid. You can set DPI for individual apps

I just tried this on Jr5, with the tablet ui mod and I had the nav buttons. It looked great, thanks for that.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I sideloaded supernote on my N7 and noticed the navigation buttons were missing (I'm not rooted and thus running standard DPI).
My work around when in scribble mode I toggle to the keyboard to use backspace, enter key, or insert a space.

Yes, and you can also do a large horizontal swipe from right to left for backspace / delete I think.

Good point. I forgot about that capability.

Ugh, I would pay Asus for a version that scales right. Here's hoping this comes bundled with a 7 inch tablet soon.

Didn't someone say this is basically the same as freenote?

They have now.... thanks. Hmm, Freenote is a fraction of the size too and seems to have more options / is more configurable. Gonna check it out.

Just want to tell you all, that there is an app called "Handwrite Free"! I like it better than freenote, better interface and options.

There's another thread on note taking. I used to like Freenote the best, but in this other thread, someone pointed out Handy Note. It's not free, but well worth the one dollar. Finally something I can actually use, organize, share and backup. Check it out. I tried Supernote as well. Was not good enough for me.

As was suggested early on, I think the idea of having configurable support for screen density of each app (or however you'd describe it) is the solution to this problem and others like it. For now I've suck with stock and the build.prop edit, but I'll probably be on a custom rom with this functionality before long.
Also, I've tried all of the alternate app suggestions in this thread as well as most in the other. There's a wide variety of apps to pick from - some with a little less functionality, some with way way too much more for my liking (and at 30+ megs installed, they'd better do more!).
As mentioned by a few people FreeNote is the best replacement for SuperNote in general design, but with more configurability and features, plus a smaller installed size to boot. However, all the apps I've tried do one curious little annoying thing "wrong" that SuperNote get's right... they misplace descenders (g j p q y) fully above the baseline.
is there now a way to run Supernote perfectly on the nexus 7? If so how would you go about doing that
Has anyone found a way to make it scale with ParanoidAndroid? I have tried 160dpi and different layouts, but never got it quite right :S
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
If you continue to have issues with SuperNote, consider checking out Handy Note Pro. I found it to be more usable. Plus, there's more than a few user reviews on Google Play that said that they lost all of their work when the app borked.
I just watched a video on youtube about asus memo pad 7, in it they were using supernote lite and the memo pad 7 is a 7" tablet so it should be perfect for a n7.
Someone is bound to get a hold of that apk so I will be on the look out for that!

The Horn Thread

I think Horn is deserving if its own thread here. Maybe we could share tips and tricks as we progress through the game. Try not to post spoilers though or mark them clearly!
Right now I'm pretty early on, just got the ability to forge. Not sure if I should forge a better weapon right now or wait.
How's everyone enjoying it? Favorite weapon type?

Search for zynga in the playstore, click on ny zynga game, scroll down to where us says more by zynga and select it. Horn should now be visible with the rest of the zynga games.

I think it is definitely work the $7. Very well put together game and it is working great on my stock device.
My only gripes are the method of moving and in some areas, the quietness. As in some areas don't have any background music. Everything else is magnificent.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I'm loving it so far. Voice acting is great. Biggest gripe is it's too quiet. Other issue is horrible frame rate drops in the main city. I know the T3 can handle it better than that.
Edit 1: Seems that frame rate is unstable and choppy most of the time, except when looking straight up or straight down lol.
First Impressions:
+ Worth the money
+ Graphic is great. Great scaling (huge monsters!) standard Unreal fluff (bloom, texture, etc.) are all there.
+ Story telling and voice acting is superb. In-game graphic cutscenes are great and mix with comic-style art is balanced.
+ Fighting control is intuitive and easy to learn. Or at least familiar.
+ Look control is great and customizable.
+ Lots of attention to details with the journals and info.
= Roam movement controls is a little odd, but fairly easy to learn
= Jumping and scaling control also has a learning curve, but it's a matter of preference
- I'd prefer D-Pad (a la Dead Trigger or Eternity Warrior 2) movements
- Related to above, no auto-path movement. If I'm standing at a corner, looking at the wall, and touch the other side of the wall, Horn isn't going to go around the corner. He's just going to try to run into the wall. So you have to look to your left/right, move forward to clear the corner, then look around again and move forward.
- Water graphic and other are not as crazy as the hype. No anti-aliasing whatsoever. Medium texture quality.
- No Exit Game button? Just hit Home button from Main Menu?
That's all for now. I'm sure I'll come up with a few more later. I barely entered the village and look around there.
For all experiencing issues with "license not found", launch the game from Play Store instead of the shortcut. Do it a couple times or so and exit properly (?), then try the shortcut again. It should work now.

It works great on my nexus 7, im using clean rom and motelys kernel. There's no lag apart from when changing area where it goes black for a second or two. In the first city i was walking around fine with no dropped frames.
This is a good example of what a Tegra optimized game should be like. Gameloft, I'm looking at you.

In app purchases are available to help you "cheat" at getting material to upgrade your weapons. Completely non intrusive, they don't hamper the game at all. You can probably blame Zynga for forcing it in there though.
Just finished my first play session and I love it so far. My only complaint has to be the water. Everything else is so beautiful, why skimp on the water effects?
Anyone try using it with a controller such as an Xbox one ? Does it have that feature ?

Just bought this game with my saved PS credit. I played around 15 mins so far and I love it. Awesome graphic and control is actually easy to use. I am not fan of FPS like NOVA 3, Modern Combat or Dead Trigger, it's just a pain to use on-screen button to play the game.

What do you use Multi-Window for?

I really want to use multi-window, but I just can't imagine a scenario when it'd be useful!
Do you use it? Which apps do you use together?
I use it to make iphone users jealeous.

I tried enabling multi-window to use with any apps but it's not working. Anyway I'd use it for a lot of multi-tasking, like watching a Netflix documentary and taking notes, or playing a game and watching a video, etc. Mostly media/texting.
Ditto on LastPass.
