SPB Shell 3D - Wow! - Droid Incredible General

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.

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!!!!!) ^_^

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

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.

Miui or cm7

So I'm in a debate right now, currently running miui 1.5.6 and I love it. Alot of things about it are nice simple and flawless , ui is simple to manage and has great little effects. But cm7 gb was my first rom I used and GPS worked fine unlike my miui atm, little things about miui are starting to tick me off even though its not 100% ready. ( pretty sure I read that some where on here). Anyways any thoughts on which one I should use as a daily? Cm7 easy to theme? I'm still new but open to learning. Thanks again.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Why would you ask others their opinion on which rom you should run? People that rum miui will tell you to choose, and the same for cm
Just try out all the roms, and see which one you like.
And you can go to evo 4g themes subforum for plenty of cm themes
If you like AOSP I'd say roll with cm7 as your daily driver, but keep in mind miui is plagued with most of the same bugs in CM7. There's a ton of theme starter guides out there it should be easy!
I wonder how many threads have this exact title?
Haha noobs right? Yes I'm ragging on myself but its whatever. And just looking for opinions on pros and cons of both from the "pros" out there. I normally don't have to post of this forum just because everything ( my questions/problems) have been answered already. But asking. And okay ill check it out thanks alot.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think MIUI has 4G. So if that's not important to you, yeah, I'd think about it. If you get 4G almost everywhere you go like I do, go with CM7.

As of now, MIUI doesn't have working 4G. And my vote is CM7...clean, smooth, everything works...
Unfortunately, Tulsa doesn't have 4g, well they do but its only on a busy street called memorial, and it runs for like 3 miles or so. Other than that no, so sticking with MIUI would not be the worst idea. Just need to learn how to theme CM7. The "classic" look isn't for me. Prefer MIUI ui.

So... you are telling us that you have MIUI on your phone right now and have been using it, and that you had CM7 as your daily driver already for an extended period of time? But even after using both as your daily driver you somehow still are unable to figure out which one you like and you want us to tell you which to use? Wow.
You are using MIUI now but you are clearly not happy because you long for CM7.
Switch to CM7.
There are you happy now? You have our permission to do what you clearly wanted to do in the first place.
BTW both MIUI and CM7 are buggy. Welcome to ASOP roms. If you can live without the minor bells and whistles of ASOP a Sense-based ROM is almost always more stable and better with your hardware(for example your videos look like crap on all ASOP roms cuz no one has figured out how to get the 720p recording to work).

Ask 10 different people, get 12 different responses. As you've noticed.
Point it only something you can answer for yourself.
Had my sultrySupersonic for less than a week, first ROM i loaded was Destroyer 2 (modded CM7 build). No complaints, no bugs (not sure what these bugs people speak of are). Took a little while to get it themed to how i like, but it's fantastic. I average 2.2 %/hr battery life.
When i saw my buddy running MIUI on his Dinc, i had to try it. LOVED it. The 2.3 build was actually buggy for me, and the 2.2 build was pretty laggy compared to CM7. Ultimately what killed it for me was the batt life. Nothing can compare to my D2 build on my Evo.
Every phone reacts differently, rock them both, play with it, let the Haters Hate. Only you can decide.
HaHa. Interesting thread!
I'm going to say try them back and forth, make a pro and con list on a piece of paper, then stick with MIUI! lol

Ha I love the MIUIs UI, and how you can choose some themes people have created. But all in all cm7 is working the best, battery life is flawless. GPS is on key. Still going back and forth but seems CM7 is on key for me. Just still learning on the theming part.

While not as invasive as themes in MIUI, the themes in the T-Mobile theme engine for cm7 will allow you to really customize the look to your liking.
My vote is for CM7. In my opinion it is more feature rich and less buggy. Only disadvantage is its not quite as "pretty" as MIUI, otherwise everything else is better for my use.
Tapa tapa tapa
IF, and I do mean if, they get 2.3 MIUI perfected I will switch back to that. I liked how it felt and looked.
But, having been using CM7 for a few months (I was not a fan of CM6), I am really starting to dig CM7. I don't think any other rom I have tried feels like a ROM that would have come on a phone. What I mean by that is, there aren't many bugs and it looks legit. The customization is pretty awesome too. I just wish CM had things like visitor mode, or some sort of sneaky mode where people couldn't look through your stuff if they pick up your phone. I don't like having to enter a code on my phone to get into it, but I hate that anyone can see anything if they pick it up.

CyanogenMod vs MIUI

Why is Cyanogen the most widely discussed/used rom rather than MIUI? I just tried MIUI for the first time yesterday and im pretty impressed in about every way. It comes with an integrated way to customize every part of the rom, with lots of options. It comes with a firewall and a task killer, even if you probably dont need them. You can change the effect when moving between home screens. Customize the toggles in the status bar. It comes with a built in blacklist. Even the settings are more extensive. I mean the music app even find the lyrics to the song your listening to!
Is it just because it looks like the iphone, so you disregard it even though it has more features integrated more seamlessly?
Why?
CyanogenMod is supported on more devices thanks to a large dev team, faster (Android version) update pace & its a generally clean ROM with great codec support & other little tweaks that make a big difference. It has been around longer.
MIUI is a unique rom made by a great team of devs in China. It offers a great set of feature & a new experience. It requires a little more outside help (as far as U.S. users go) to get it going on other devices, not to mention the translation changes & hardware support. Hasn't been around as long.
Its not really a matter of it reminds me of ___, better than, as good or it does __ ___ __. That Cyanogen gets more viral commentary .vs any ROM.
MIUI is closed source. CyanogenMod is open source. Thats reason enough for a lot more discussion in here.
Besides... MIUI incorporated some good stuff from iPhone, but also some really crap things , like removing the app drawer. IMO
Also, where the hell is 4G? They've had it "in the works" for months and nothing. When they actually make it a fully-functioning EVO rom that makes use of the hardware I paid for, then I'll switch back to MIUI.

I echo these same sentiments as the same reason why I haven't fully adopted MIUI. Beautiful launcher and Core apps is really how I think about it (and IMHO a little too iOS).
Cyanogen is Awesome, but MIUI is a dream. To me aleast, don't have no 4g in San Diego so who cares. I put all my app's in a folder and named it "app drawer" as for closed source, oh well. I'm not a developer by a long shot, so I don't care. It's all about preference and mine is MIUI. I'm hooked like a bad drug.

Use Alt Drawer for your app drawer. I use it with ADW EX, even though there's already an app drawer. I'm running MIUI, but missed ADW so I switched back. It's really good and fits well with MIUI. Find an app drawer icon that you like and put it into your theme mtz with the package name for Alt Drawer & put it on your dock. Or do what I do and use an app like Button Shortcut to open it when you long-press the search button.
If you don't know how to change the icon, pm me and I'll do it for you. It's actually a bit faster & easier to do it than it is to explain it.

That has been answered 10,000 times. There will NEVER be 4G for MIUI unless the Chinese get 4G in Shanghai or they release the source code. If a tlittle bit of a faster data connection is enough to keep you away from the most innovative ROM out there, then buh bye.... Trust me, no one using MIUI will miss you
Also, other than no App drawer, MIUI is nothing like Iphone. I'm sick of that comparison, too.
Considering a large number of users use LPP, ADW EX and GO, not many are missing an app drawer, anyhow.
^Agree with Hipkat, MIUI is not to be compared to IOS. Only thing tht is happening to it is the 4G and that is subject to the chinese opening their source. As far as everything else, I had MIUI and is eye candy. One of the best made for androids phones.

Folders FTW!
The question shouldn't be "which is better" but rather which fits you best. Both roms are excellent but one might keep you away from other due to the way it operates. Cm has tons of extras including adw launcher, 4G, etc which makes it the way it is.
While miui has the "iphone" look (yes it looks like iPhone so get it over it) and has that awesome customization market that let's you change almost anything on the phone.
I personally don't use either due to the fact that both have some kinks to work out but that doesn't stop me from trying both out every now and then

Hey Nick where did u get that background

App drawer is a matter of preference. I'd rather organize my apps in different home screens or folders rather than be lumped into one massive list and hunt thru them. I have no idea why the app drawer is considered a great feature.
And if you really want it, there's an app on XDA which will do it.
In everything else, MIUI is leagues beyond other rom's. Contacts, dialer, sms, backup, theming, notifications, monitoring - all of these are best in class, and to even get close you have to get a bunch of extra apps in other rom's.
It may be inspired by iOS but it has more features than iOS or Android, is updated weekly, and runs faster.
Cyanogenmod never really did it for me. Granted I haven't tried it on the Evo 4G yet (used to have a Hero CDMA). All the extra stuff they added just never really grabbed me and the performance just never seemed as good as pure AOSP.
I really love MIUI. It's super fast and being able to customize everything really is nice. Plus since I'm an update junkie I love that there's new stuff every week.
I'm in Reno, NV, so there's no 4G so I don't really care about that. As for the app drawer, I don't see what the big deal is. Once I have the apps I use on my home screens I hardly every go into the app drawer.
I don't think one is better than another it just really comes down to preference.
I love them both and bounce between both. They both are great rom's based off a great os, so really do you have to pick? Just enjoy the freedom of being able to have a choice and not stuck with what your given... just my two cents...

4G is my main reason that I haven't tried MIUI.
And in my area, I do get 4G and its significantly faster. There are lots of sprint users where I live, but most of them are on 3G it seems, so bandwidth on 4G is much more available. Now, its not that much faster than 3G if you are in a good unsaturated 3G area, but I am not. The 3G around here is very saturated.
So for me, 4G isn't a little bit faster, its way faster, so don't be quick to judge. If it weren't for lack 4G, I would definitely try it. I don't mind the iPhone inspiration that some others have issues with and I have heard very good things about MIUI, but lack of 4G really is a dealbreaker for me.

YOUR Preference

You have an HTC Evo Shift? You rooted it and put a custom OS on it?
Awesome.
First timer right her who wants to ask your preference, the only thing I have to have is the ability to tunnel my internet to project a free hotspot. That is available in CM7, so far I am leaning towards a nightly build... But essentially since I have not done this before, I don't know the best, I'm sure no one knows the "best"...BUT I would very much like to know your favorite considering that is my main concern

I really like Sense Roms, especially sense 3.0. I was rocking a stock, rooted rom, but got tired of HTC dragging their feet releasing the source code for the Shift. I flashed CM 7.1 stable, with Scary Ghoul 3 kernel, running at 1.5 gHz. But, if HTC already had source code for the gingerbread release, I'd still be on a sense rom.

If you like Sense then it's gotta be Supreme Sense. Real nice ROM with lots of bells and whistles and a very nice camera app.
Me personally, I prefer CM7. I want raw performance and the maximum amount of customizability and CM7 offers all that more than any other ROM.

The thread you specified was...
[INFO] Cyanogenmod 7 optimal settings for Evo Shift 4G on SPRINT (Updated 10-7-11)
Which is not what I'm looking for, I happened to say I was looking into CM7, but would be open to another OperatingSystem all together. CM7 does good work, but honestly they are the only ones I know about. So I would be narrowminded to assume the only one I know about would be the best choice. Since alot of people on this forum have done alot to their phones their input on a recommended OS will be followed.
Well I'm sure you know it depends on your usage, and preferences. I'm a Sense kind of guy. If your looking for a sort of stock Rom with a lot of extras that's quick, than MikShifted G v1.75 is a great choice. Stable, Reliable, and Fast. If your looking for something a little more over the top that's still stable, reliable, and fast. Than Supreme Sense is it, eye candy plus.

Pick one. If you pick CM7 take a look at my thread.

Don't discount MIUI.. there are a lot of people into it for one reason or another. Myself being one of them. Someone new to flashing roms might find it's exactly what they're looking for.

I like MIUI alot , yes it has the iphonesque feel but there's a lot of added features, and absolutley amazing I mean OUTSTANDING theme support lol. (Coming from a themer here )
Sent from my Supreme Shift on Wires!
I think miui is pretty cook because you can literally change everything! A ton of themes and icon packs. Just so many ways to customize. But I live supreme. I just can't leave it!
I flashed miui just to flah it and I haven't flashed another rom since... love the ui straight and to the point, lots of themes is def a plus... I have no 4g so don't miss it at all...

I guess I'll go looking for it after attempting and hboot downgrade again. I dont want to talk about it here though, It would technically be off topic. bah.

Project Chameleon - Giving Android a new perspective

Hi guys, I just ran into this post demonstrating Project Chameleon and wanted to share this with you. I personally think it looks great and can't wait for it to be released, or even better, to be ported to the Xoom!

Looks class, would love to try it out
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA
Its really fantastic
That's pretty damn slick.
Looks awesome - but will need a lot of work to be really useful. Similar to Cornerstone (which is epic as well but is too buggy at the moment).
Looks to heavy and cluttered for me.
Sent from Tablet
Looks impressive but has anyone heard anything on a timeline as far as when the general public would have access to it?
Looks good to me, however very "Metro" like, they need to get this out before Win8 lands..
Kickstarter for this project
Please sponsor if u r interested

That looks fantastic. Is it safe to say that it's a fully custom ROM though, like cornerstone? I assume you wouldn't be able to get that kind of function with just a custom launcher.

Well in the interview he said it will be released in the play store. So I guess it is going to be a launcher.

Interesting. That + CM9 would be a fantastic combination.

Looks pretty slick as an all-in-one package, but it doesn't look like anything that couldn't be accomplished right now with tasker, locale, your favorite widgets,and some hub-like home page setups, does it? A build your own variety would offer much more customization. Reminds me of an app I use on my note... car dock home. It is setup to recognize my dock or a bt connection in my car and brings up a totally new home screen with different apps and widgets, and cuts off wifi.

check it out they are asking for help if you do decide to donate $5 or more you get it before its official
Got my access to Project Chameleon Beta have it installed on my Xoom as we speak Very Impressive and I have to say it is VERY unlikely I will be going back to the default android launcher ANYTIME soon. Anyone who did get on-board via kickstarter can still get it now. Go to the site below for details.

Project Chameleon running on my Xoom
Wanted to support them earlier already, but was only do to so now since you can pay with paypal now. It really is still in beta mode, not all widgets are included either. Only instagram, twitter (2 options) weather, news (rss) and gmail. They included some wallpapers as well, but you can load your own too. It lags a little on Team Eos JB nightly, but they said they are working on it. I do hope for some more settings and gimmicks, and perhaps some mods. I really hope for some drawer mods though, as I prefer the stock one, preferably with some options (my other launcher is nova prime).
It has a lot of potential, so I think it's a good investment in the android modding.
So is chameleon just a fancy launcher?

So far, yes. I like it but it is still a beta product. I expect it to get much better and more feature rich.

Any ETA?
