For thoose of you running CM6 Froyo, what is the status?
What is working, what's not working, etc...
The good, the bad, etc...
They update the ROM but they don't have a Changelog.
And if there is any other developer working on a Froyo ROM?
Everything's working there's just tiny bugs here and there
Yup everything works nicely

I don't think everything works. Camera preview doesn't work without a third-party app. Video camera doesn't work at all (at least, I don't think it does). And it's a fairly glitchy overall at the moment (in my opinion of course)
edit: looks like I'm like 2 versions behind, and that camera does indeed work now. Looks like everything's been moved to the nightlies section of cyanogenmod's forum, which would explain why I'm so far behind (not to mention the fact that I haven't had time to keep up on it due to work lol)

Yeah, everything is pretty much working now, except for the leds. There's a hackish fix that makes it workable though.
The only problem I've had with the 12th's nightly is the power control widget not being able to kill my data connection. Everything else has been flawless so far.

I ran CM6 from day one of the test release and kept it on my phone for 3 weeks and started to miss sense so I went back to DC 2.0.9, and then flashed back to CM6 after 1 week. Went back to sense to do some mods for someone and was waiting until everything got worked out. Looks like it has. I use launcher pro plus and some other apps and widgets and actually like my setup a lot better than sense. I'm going to go back to CM6 and see how it is.

Miss Sense? There's nothing to miss except for a couple widgets and most of those have replacements on the market.
I really don't understand why people think Sense is so much better. It really is not and lags more than anything else.
incubus26jc showed me how to make launcherpro look just like sense. and its really nice since launcherpro plus has the sense widgets now. if anybody wants to know how just pm me and honestly..... i love sense. it just looks sooo damn good! plus, our phones were meants to have sense, so we get much better battery life out of sense. thats why i cant wait till we get a sense froyo

I'm really curious about how this looks. I'm guessing a dock with a sense-like bar was chosen as the dock background, and text icons were chosen, or something like that.. could you post a screenshot please??

Im running the 8/15 nightly and it is smooth for me. But pretty much every nightly has been nice on my phone. I may actually end up missing my Hero next month when I get a new phone. Funny thing is that the GF doesnt want it. She would rather stick with her crap ass BB 8530.
8/15 running great so far. The new google voice search and command thing is great too.
i've got the 814 nightly and it is running great on my regional carrier. i don't use the camera so that function doesn't bother me. the big thing for me is that the calendar isn't searchable.
8/15 with the google apps update running sweeeeet here!!!
Running the 0815 update with the VM Heap Size set to 32 and have no problems now that the unlick is really snappy.
well chuffed, just got the froyo 2.1 to work on my phone, appears to be the nexus build, as it thinks my phone is a nexus. It runs flash video in the standard web browser which is brilliant!!
interactive backgrounds and menus all smooth.
pretty impressed.
only thing I havent done is write down my contacts telephone numbers as its erased all of them! i'll be able to get them back tho, just be on facebook!

But was it worth the work?
hey it is impressive, i'm a total noobie to this and it looked really complicated!! Its probably quite an old build, using darkstone HD2Froyo V2.1 - Release Date: 17.Aug.2010
everything seems to work really well. voice activated searches, interactive wall papers, camera, phone, internet browser 3G, weather and news, menus are smooth to flick between.
what builds are other people using??
other people are using the newest builds lol. hey nothing wrong with the old ones. if they ain't broke why fix it? but many of us have developed an addiction to flashing the newest of the newest builds of wm and android, and always having to reinstall apps/games. sometimes it becomes almost daily, and i always swear to myself i'm not going to reinstall everything until i'm certain i'm keeping this build for a while...but i always do lol. have fun!
http://www.androidcentral.com/spb-shell-3d-android-very-slick-launcher-thats-just-too-expensive
So, I bought lol
It's AMAZING. Very smooth, great transitions, and 9 full homescreens! You can even put more than 9 on if you want to, lol
I'm on Warm 2.2 now, but this is so good that, as a Sense fan (Sense was the reason I bought this phone), this is seriously pushing me to a Gingerbread ROM like CM7. Give it a try!
PS- I am in no way connected to the developer(s) of this software. I just love it
i installed it on my OG droid but it is just a black screen....no luck
Ouch, 15 bones.....looks neat, but not for that much $$. Going to stick with LPro until this puppy comes down in price.

My thoughts exactly. I'd love to try this, but not for that much coin.

I did see in the comments on the link that someone posted a link to the apk... not gonna advertise for warez but if you want to try it out i you *could* try it from that and if you like it buy it... I bought right after I saw the video, so I can't even confirm that it works
Something that concerned me when watching the video is that this launcher looks like a lot of flash and bling, but maybe lacking on some other areas of basic functionality. From reading the comments (in the original link) of people who have used it, there seems to be confirmation of my fears.
People are complaining about lacking certain basic features like widget resizing... or this:
Not to mention the fact that you can't arrange icons and widgets the way you want to. If you want anything on the bottom row, the top 3 rows have to be full

I'm not sure I fully understand that statement, but in general it sounds like this launcher is optimized to show off its own animations/widgets.
I don't want to pay $15 for this, nor do I want to download warez. So for now, that means I can only judge based on videos and comments. From my impressions though, it looks like switching over would cripple a number of functions that I find very useful in other launchers. In return, I would get some admittedly cool animations, and some visually interesting UI changes, but I don't see any functional enhancements that really interest me.
At the end of the day, I'm very much a "form follows function" kind of guy, so I suspect this just isn't the launcher for me. I'm sure it will be great for many other people though.
I their version for winmo, it was nice, but not for me. Im like the last guy, i like fuction looks. The whole thing with different launchers is to configure what you like. Maybe im just s simple guy, but this launcher looks like something kids will enjoy, i prefer the smart, in smartphone.

Doesn't work on GingerBread?
played with that earlier mentioned version (cough *warez* touchy subject) a little bit (only lets you run it if you turn mobile data off so it is pointless) and it was cool.
a lot of 'wow' factors that look good but it isn't very functional. launcherpro+ blows it out of the water as far as quick and easy getting to apps & widgets.
I got the spb shell 3d today and omg i am amazed at how smooth it runs and how it barely waists battery. i hated that i couldn't put apps wherever i wanted but then i downloaded desktop visualizer and customized it however i wanted.
btw i have an evo 4g and i am running cm7 nightly #41 gingerbread with savaged-zen 1.0.1 bfs nosbc kernel. (AMAZING!!!!!) ^_^

What are the benefits over the stock OS? I don't see anything new, and switching in between home screens is glitchier. I am running 1.8.3. Also wondering where the webtop option is? It's not coming up when I plug it in, nor am I finding it in the app drawer.
Well.... i don't believe GingerBlur is a different OS. As far as i'm aware, because of the locked bootloader, that's kind of impossible at this point. I believe GingerBlur is basically just an extremely modified version of the stock OS to make it look as much like Gingerbread as it can.

Well I completely understand that, but what is the rave about? My friend told em to keep getting it, and people seem to love it on here, so I figured why not? However I am not seeing anything different, just a glitchy ass homescreen, my webtop mod isn't working, and my contact pictures aren't in my text messages LOL.

First of all, please don't shove words in my mouth. I am thankful for GingerBlur, and whoever is making it is doing a really great job, I am just wondering why my home screens are really running like crap. There is nothing wrong with it. I understand it's still in beta, I am just wondering if it's my phone doing it, that's why I posted here in the first place and wondering if it's normal.

It's a bit glitchier than normal. Like they aren't as "smooth" as they are on stock when flicking left and right to switch between the home screens. Also the webtop hack was installed before installing gingerblur, and it said it was included in the 3.1 update. I just don't see that option when connecting HDMI.

I don't recall exactly, but I think the animations may be set to none. Checkout Settings>Display>Screen Animation and see what it's set to.

nvm reinstalled the webtop hack, working great however the homescreen shouldn't be lagging the way it is. I am uploading a video, it's not showing how slow it is though through the video. maybe I flashed something wrong in my phone.. i just rooted from stock without wiping anything, and updated to gingerblur. i keep seeing steps to flashing to gingerblur and reflashing the sfb first.. , but i didnt do that, maybe thats the cause of my "laggyness"?
UPDATE (Video with lag, it really looks smooth in this video for some reason, it's really only half that)

Hey guys, i'm going to be purchasing an xperia play (my first android/smart phone whoo!) soon and I've done my fair share of research over this phone and i've gone to the verion store to check it out, and i like it a lot, but there's just one thing that bothers me. What happened to the app drawer? I know it's stock gingerbread therefore it should have the same app drawer that the Nexus S has, but it doesn't seem the same, the reason I say this is because when you scroll up and down through the apps, it doesn't give you that "cube" like effect, what happened?

Download the Gingerbread launcher, push it to /system/app and delete the default launcher. Problem solved This isnt ios You know
I don't have the Verizon edition so could be COMPLETELY wrong but perhaps it's enable-able in a settings?
Even if not the other comments are right - think of it this way. It's not that it doesn't have the cube effect, it's that you need to install it via the market - Launcher Pro or Gingerbread Launcher should both have it (ADW too maybe?)
If you get that phone you can definitely get the effect your looking for
