my dad just baught it man its so raw. i didnt think it was worth the 15 bucks either but we said to hell with it and got it neways. definety worth it if you dont mind throwin 15 bucks down the hole
i have this on my phone :) samsung epic 4g from 4shared.com download it now dont pay a cent only thing is that there are no app drawer so u have to make u a folder with all ur apps in it and when u turn off ur phone u have to activate it again which only takes 20 secs or less
search google for 4sharde and u can search SPB shell and get it for free and place the file in your phone use astro and u wil see the file click on it and u can instal it (u need home switcher from market to open it )
They definitely give you your money's worth for $15, but I like a more minimal setup (plain text clock and calendar floating on a dark background). Launcherpro works for me because it's subtle and this seems like it would be a hell of a battery drain.
This has potential....Only wish it didnt kill my battery life from 16hrs (Constant use with 3G and gameing) to 7 Hours same condition with SPB running.....
why is it still in beta? Ive seen it working perfect on many phones, By the time they release this other android lauchers will have caught up or the hackers would have solved the activation problem on non compatable phones and nobody will pay the asking price.
Where can i get this for my droidx? I really want to try it... But can't find it for android wtf!? I see all kind of ppl every where that have it... Do I need to hack my phone?
Great Video. Got it to work and run smooth on Captivate...unfortunately, I absolutely just did not like it. I'd love to steal how the way you can make the folders resize for other android Launchers. Maybe it's just me, but I couldnt find a way to customize the settings for the launcher and didn't find it very user friendly. Personally, I don't think this is the kind of launcher for people who have over 200 apps, unless you like lots of folders on your home screen.
Animation looks great but I have never liked SPB's interface design. The UI looks chunky and dated with the faux-metal gradients and 45 degree angles on widgets and windows. If I can have these animations with my own widgets or Launcher Pro widgets.... I'll take it.
@henrikroxs I use widgets on my epic & my evo, no battery drain from widgets. They just allow u 2 use sometime of the apps function w/out openning the app, it actually save time & battery because the app doesn't hav2 completely load itself everytime u want info. The weather widget can be changed to however many hr intervals u want & unless u refresh it, which takes 2-3 seconds, it doesn't use battery.
Hahahaha. You don't know what you are talking. Widgets don't kill battery life. And if stock android looks shity for you, you can always change the way it looks.
I'm using this right now on my HTC G2 running cm7 RC1, the 3d effects are cool, its somewhat smooth, but I hate the fact that it doesn't have an app drawer :/ there's a recycle bin where you put unwanted apps, and that's the closest I can find to an app drawer, hope it gets fixed or has some alternative in the final versions
@HorstMega I wear a size 30 32 relaxed fit jeans & my epic 4g fits in my pocket just fine, u can't tell its in my pocket. My evo fits bout the same. With my loose fit carpenter pants the lil side pockets is perfect 4them.
I'm running this on my galaxy s with Darky's Rom 9.3 beta 3 and SpeedMod ksc13 all tweaks enabled.. When I'm working on my phone people always ask if I came from the future
I Can't Wait Until Version 5.0 Of SPB Mobile Shell Is Released For Symbian, I Already Have Version 3.7 On My Nokia N8 And It's Pretty Awesome:) This Looks Much Better.
this is why i love android. so much possibilities and very flexible... XD, cant wait for the official release. hope the bugs are fixed already once they do release it
@pocketnowvideo You should have shown more of the 3D animations in the carousel. There are many like the photos animation in the end of the video like weather etc. Really cool.
SPB Mobile Shell 3.7 + N-Desk (iPhone UI) + Nokia N8 (Mostly Metal Phone With HDMI, Flash Support, True Multitasking, Powerful GPU, Dolby Digital Surround Sound, Front Facing Camera, AMOLED Screen, And 12mp Camera With Xenon Flash)= BEST PHONE OF 2010 AND BEYOND...
That does look amazing...I used Spb a long time ago on one of the first versions of Windows Mobile and it was light years better than the default UI. Having said all that...it looks like it would murder your battery life.
Managed to get my hands on this. Works okay for SGS. Takes ages to load though. Can cripple your phone mid transition on the carosel, and make your screen fade to black. Apart from that, it is really fast & easy to use. Assuming you have used SPB before, otherwise it can be daunting. Bit of a memory hog, but all things considered it is still in Beta. Glad I signed up when I did. :) they have so much potential with this. Compared to the Vids that were out last year, this build is very different.
@Coldflid I signed up late last year. There are still slots open as far as I know. Its worth looking at for sure. Like I said, cause it's still in Beta, there are bugs, and some optimisation needs to be done, but it's SPB. :)
