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
More of a novelty then anything. Functionality is given up for looks

I agree ..more of a gimick. It's great to showcase our dual core matched with its 3d effects but its lacking in areas that are truly needed ..not worth the 15...go launcher is my choice for this phone..

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.

That looks cool, but I'm afraid it could be as gimmicky as 3dShell. I guess price and reviews will tell the tale.
looks good any idea when is coming out??
it's out already, if you want it buy it
topic closed, too much WAREZ talk

$16.80 is a little steep, but it's probably worth it.
It seems the widgets don't work right now.

Damn, that is expensive. I really wanted to try this when I first saw it but for that price, I dont know if I will take the leap now.
Yeah, its one of those products that would greatly benefit from a trial period, with the full version. Let you try everything, just for a limited time. Don't know if that's possible for them...

I made the leap - pretty sweet so far. the widget bar is kinda buggy. when i installed the widgets, they all showed up in one spot so i can't choose which one i would like to add.

few other things i noticed:
-only default theme is available (not surprised here)
-very VERY smooth with neat animations
-takes a little to get used to (i keep tying to swipe left and right on the main launcher screen to change screens - that's not the case anymore)
-for the weather it says i'm in a city 20 minutes away
-hitting menu brings up: add, manage apps wallpaper, themes, tsf homepage (brings up browser), and system settings
-cool animations, kinda like what one would expect in golauncher
-after downloading new app, the app shows fire on it like advertised - however, the fire doesn't animate while in the launcher unless you switch screens. not too worried about this lol.
-doesn't look exactly like the one on the video they provided months ago. not a good or bad thing as the changes are only minor.
-giant button at bottom right is cutting off one the bottom-left-most app. can't see the whole thing.
kinda like spb shell (from what i've read), there aren't many settings like other launchers.
Well I couldnt hold back, I bought it for the 15 min refund time and well, I refunded it. It was extremely smooth. Loved the animations, hated the price. Way too much for something that doesnt give you a lite version to get used to before making the leap.

I’m curious about what impact this launcher has on the battery life.
If you could post your thoughts after you have a few days to let it set in, that would be much appreciated.
Thanks
They are smoking crack asking that much for a launcher when you have Go and other launchers for free.

You have to keep your finger on it, after a sec it pulls up voice search options.

for today, I took my phone off the charger at 11am, and it's now 8:20pm - I still have 41% battery street moderate use, GPS and wifi on. Compared to go launcher that I was using, it seems it has better battery life. However, one day isn't long enough to tell.

Personally, I hated it. I think it disrupts work flow. Im curious to where they are going to take it.
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.

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.

"Dynamic lock screen" under wallpapers has some very good pictures under the landscapes and animals categories.
Been a long time since I was here but trying to find a good live wallpaper has proven difficult. If anyone remembers the old HTC Weather app that would display the current weather as a live wallpaper (and it was really nice too), are there any similar ones for the Fold 3? Google searches tend to show some decent ones but none compatible with the Fold 3 that look decent (or that I trust for that matter). Thus, I am coming here.

It has been a very long time. Yea, when they basically killed the ability to put our own bootloader on Samsung devices, I just sort of drifted away and dealt with it.
Thank you! Yea, I loved those live wallpapers. So well done and whatever weather service they used was usually pretty accurate. Wish I had the skills to port one of those over. Bet it would easily make some cash from those of us who remember how good it was. /grin
