it's pretty much a beautified Go Launcher that costs $16 more... How often do I really wanna wait for all those animations or do all that stuff? people are extremely impressed with my Go Launcher with only 2 screens... It's a Note II, doesn't need all that

Spb shell + some tsf = next launcher
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

Thats that I was going to say. Thats a copy of spb shell. They didnt even do enough to make it look any different

When I was fairly new to Android, I paid for SPB Shell (more money than good sense). I now use Apex Launcher (SPB is very short on customization). That being said, it might be a great launcher, but I feel that the price is way to steep when there are so many great launchers out there.

Tsf is actually really good.
Gets better with each update

I really hate you guys. I have launcher OCD and now that I have looked at tsf, I'm working hard not to spend the money on it. Maybe I should just break out the dumb phone so I won't have so many options!!

Lol, I can relate to what you are saying. The only question is, should I get it? There are other options ( nova/apex) although not quite with the wow factor but the functionality is there.

Is a good launcher. . But I think it needs more work. . I love the music widget. . But not worth 16 bucks. .

Looks like some kind of weird experiment. They can't honestly believe people will drop $15 on a launcher. Wonder what they are up to?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

I found it for free. Its okay but DEFINITELY not worth 15 bucks. I just googled it and found it

For looks and wow effect SPB launcher is hard to beat,

IMO the new launcher doesn't even come close to SPB.

Exactly

Tried it out. The bells and whistles are cool and the music widget is sweet. But for 15 clams I'd want a more complete launcher. Widget choices are really thin.

New launcher

There is a new launcher out by the go team called Next Launcher. Check it out and post thoughts

Next Launcher is $16.00 from play store

I played with it for a few minutes and then refunded. Its OK but not for that high a price!

I like it alot works great on the note 2 never slows it down may drain the Battery a little more but I don't notice it right now does seem way over priced but hopefully the add all the great features that go launcher has
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
I already purchased SPB Shell, which is very good, however it does not have the backing like the Go Team. I'd love to use Go but having over $30 in launchers seems insane. I'll wait to see how the development goes, as I did get $50 in Google gift cards for Christmas.

Looks like a mix of SPB Shell and TSF Shell.

While it looks cool, it's definitely not for me. I prefer snappy, rather than fluid. Won't these animations tank your battery life?

yes because the phone they are doing it on has android buttons.
wth is it, just stick to nova launcher prime , its fast no lag
This is exactly why I love Android. There is so much flexibility in what can be done. If this did not lag terribly I would have to give it a try just to be different.
Can't do anything like that on some other phone OS's...
looks good hope someone ports it

TSF shell is faster than nova with 5x the animations.
Looks has nothing to do with the snappiness.
Japanese marketing is worse then watching apple commercials. Wtf is up with the random cat meow in the middle of the video?

Vire launcher.. Awesome!

I stumbled across this cruising in the forums.. Super fast launcher, and if you like really nice home screen animations this is for you.. Definitely worth checking out.

Looks like it may not be free for long. Probably once it gets out of beta testing the ads and pricing will follow. Can't blame him for that. Still pretty cool though.
Nice but too simple for now. Good job to developers.

Pebble theme with Crystal switch style => awesome :good: I just love the reflection thing on the digital clock widget.

Facebook home taking over your phone

What do you guys think about facebook home? Will you use it? I won't!
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Might be a little harsh, but hell no. I'm in love with Apex right now and Facebook home is in no way gonna make me get another launcher. I already own Apex, Nova, ADW EX, and TSF.

Yeah Facebook sucks. They gonna spam ur phone up. Not worth it
Looks lame, i won't even bother

I'll try it out. I like how they implemented chat heads. If anything I'll would delete the filler friends and associates and subscribe to different media outlets so the feed won't be cover with ppl spam.

Let's wait and find out, it could be good or really bad, I personally didn't like any recent updates from Facebook, it's nothing but spam and ads, I am sure they will collects lots of data, not initially but later for sure. Nothing is free especially when it comes to the mobile industry.

Lol unfortunately most people care about other people's personal life. Hence why Facebook is so popular. That being said...this will suck lol

Well, I thought some of the features are pretty neat. I'll probably give it a try cuz I do use Facebook a lot to follow my favorite interests, like my favorite UFC fights and bands, etc. I do find myself using my phone quite a bit in much the way described in that presentation, so I am at least curious enough to give it a shot.

+1 for the anti-Facebook movement... I am lucky that I am not allowed to be present on it, so even if some curiosity would tempt me to put it onto the phone, I cannot.
Whenever I feel that I would like to have a word with one of my friends, I call him/her or send an e-mail, or just invite them around for a beer. I tend to cultivate real friendships, whereas I don't count mere acquaintances as "friends", because they are not.

Interesting new launcher

Whatever you "say" it creates as your wallpaper and loads every app you have applicable to what you said and a bunch of its own suggestions.. and anything you open from what you said opens about that topic... its really quite cool... thought id share...
