Snowfall Live Wallpapaer - Captivate Themes and Apps

I picked this up this week-end when I was looking for a festive theme.
Snow covered pines swaying with snow falling.
Paid version gives you more configuration options, including changing with the time throughout the day (Dawn, Daytime, Dusk, nightime)
They are also doing 50% donation on the paid version, which helped twist my arm for the whopping $.99

I got it too. It runs really nice on the Captivate. It makes me want to get more transparent widgets.

i have this same live wallpaper on my phone, i think its awesome. my girl sees it and she gets all pissed because HER IPHONE CANT DO IT

Thank you!

Doesn't cause much lag and is festive, awesome!

I was running the paid version of this for awhile until I noticed my battery life was going a bit quicker, just due to the fact that it's a live background, but I still love it. Definitely a great live background and the lag is really minimal for most live ones. The time of day feature is also really cool, but off an hour due to daylight savings. Definitely worth the $.99 though. Great rubbing it in to iPhone users.

TAT UI

Hey guys found this over at android spin. I think it looks pretty damn cool. I just wonder how piratical it will be for day to day use. I mean we can always use more software to complicate our UI.

Whoa! I'm excited for this, if the implementation turns out as smoothly as it looks.
It's like Sense: The Sequel.

you mean Sense's ugly cousin. Sense all day everyday! brings out the color in my screen
Of course in taking closer looks it's important to separate WOO SHINY EYECANDY from... actually useful.
E.G. will this make my device better, or just get in the way?
In terms of that it's hit and miss. But I do like, for instance, the means of setting the alarm clock (why go into a different screen? This solution seems quick and intuitive), and the 'folding' UI elements - such as the SMS widget, etc. If you don't need them, they fold out of the way. One problem I had with Sense is that most every widget commands the full screen, not leaving me space for much else, regardless of whether or not I'm using the widget at the time.
The widget 'fan' is interesting but I think I prefer the typical 'card' view. The ability to easily drag widgets and shortcuts directly to specific screens is certainly a time saver.
I'm curious to see where this will go in its final iteration -- much like concept cars, everything looks shiny and pretty, but the final product ends up stripping out a lot of the shiny pretty eyecandy in lieu of more practical, intuitive fare.
Good UI design, after all, should be transparent.
ide take this "ugly cousin" over sense any day
+1 Sense is to bulky and doesn't fare well for everyday use. The screens taken for the video were taken fron a MT3G so hopefully we will see that level of smoothness from 1st gen android devices TAT Home is just one of a ton a exciting new things that came out at MWC, cant wait for the beta to drop.
Here is some stuff from an email reply I got from TAT.
We are currently in alfa and expect to reach beta in a couple of weeks.
After that, we will slowly but surely start to roll out the preview to some of the 17,000 people who've signed up so far,
starting with specific Android versions and screen resolutions as we won't target all of them in the first version.
If your are lucky and make it to the list of testers, you'll hear from us in a month or so
I don't remember what forum it was but someone also posted an email reply and they stated that the Nexus1 screen res is supported at start. I also think the G1 should be gtg because it looks like a HTC Hero in the vid.

3-30-11 SPB Shell 3D Launcher - Final Available

Has anyone tested this SPB Shell 3D launcher (the final version) with our Fascinate phones? Is it worth the $15?
Check it @: http://spb.com/android-software/shell/
Let me know what you guys think? Will customizations be coming??
Looks way too fancy for me. I think the "neat" factor would wear out pretty quick. But that's coming from someone who used to use HelixLauncher. Besides, $15 is a bit outside my budget for an Android app, especially when it offers no additional productivity.

There are a few people in this thread that have tried it.
Tried it with the setup in my sig. No luck, blank screen then fc.

I used the beta for a bit, it was alright - definitely not worth 15$ in my opinion.
I like having an app drawer and just 3 homescreens to keep things clean and simple.
The coolest things in it were the animations/graphics and adjustable widgets. The novelty wears off pretty quickly and I went back to good old launcher pro after a few days.

I tried the beta for an hour or so. I thought it was kind of neat that you could reorder home screens pretty easily, but mostly to me it seemed like eye candy only. I do remember SPB being the bomb for other folks in my Omnia days, but that was comparing it to Winmo...
LauncherPro + is $3. SPB is $15. Hmmm...
$15.... and does not make coffee? Thats a shame.
Too expensive for me plus im sure its loose its flavor in a few days or weeks like everything else.

adw ex is a much better option and you could buy it 4x over
or use free launchers
its neat but at $15!?! that screams steal me on 4chan or something
I'd rather put $15 toward helping a dev hack it. I used the beta and it looks cool but...

Spb will cash in on the former winmo user base though. Not from me though.
good day.
I used the beta for a few hours. It was pretty cool but got old fast. There is no way I would pay $15 for it though.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I used it on my Omnia 2 in my winmo days. With so many good alternatives available now in android, no desire to use it in my droid days.
Not very good app.
First load is very slow. take very long time.
Really cool, but not $15 cool. Maybe if it were $4.99.
Alternative agenda..
Everything I've read points to the fact that they are hoping to get picked up by a manufacturer as a UI like Sense, Blur etc. This may be more of a feeler effort to see what the community thinks. But the $15 price tag is a bit over my beta testing tolerance lol. I mean really...15 dollars? (not to mention most people around here bellyache over apps costing a dollar or two so I don't understand their reasoning as far as pricing goes.) It is "pretty" but as far as increased functionality I don't see any benefit and all that prettiness has to be a resource gobbling monster. I'll stick with LPP does all I need and more.(especially when fede is doing a complete rewrite to LP )
pretty cool, no where near being worth $15 imo. The fact that you cant delete other screens as far as I can tell is really a deal breaker for me. I have no need for more than 1 screen though.
Guess I'm the only sucker who bought it. lol.
They made a lot of improvements over the beta. You now have 5 buttons on the bottom, two are changeable. There is an app drawer finally, and they fixed the screen reorganization and renaming issues. They also added a few more widgets, and the boot time is faster.
There's a lot I like about it, and a few I don't care for. Will be interesting to see what improvements they make from here.

From what you said, I can not imagine how slow the beta version is, as the release version is still too slow!

Went at midnight last night and had some fun. Just don't go expecting a story and you won't be dissapointed. The explosions and special effects were first class.
Oooh! Can't wait to see it!! It must be really cool!
The movie is epic... not to mention the ROBOTS... haaaa
Might go tonight, if i can talk the gf around
I am def. going to see it. Not expecting anything great though. Michael Bay is good and one thing and thats special effects lol
Yup, you really can't expect any extraordinary plot from this movie but it was still great. The effects, the stunts, the action was damn great. I didn't watched it on 3D because that glasses makes me dizzy but that might have been better at 3D.

Great effects and good storyline. must watch
Great movie !

The film has no sense to me is not interesting :-(
Great effects and and and and and and and nope thats all i got! the first one was was more interesting this was too many effects no storyline... kinda slow to begin with too!... worth the watch if ur into your effectss..
Not really a great movie. Soundtracks are not so epic. The actions are not really intriguing me. I prefer first and second transformer. :/
this movie not as great as previously. More prefer the number 2.
This movie has amazing realistic special effects like the Decepticon-ruled Version of Chicago.
Still disappointed about no megan fox but this new chick with british accent is pretty sexy
GingerBreads have no souls.....But, Windows Phone 7 gives it one. I Love Launcher7
Easily the best film of the 3. I really enjoyed this movie. Plus I went to the opening night midnight screening in 3D which was awesome.
havent seen it yet, want to though
I still think part 2 was slightly better, but Sentinel Prime and Shockwave were incredible. I wish they were in part 2.

Question Interactive wallpapers gone ?

No, i dont mean live wallpapers as they are today - video footage.
I used to have nice wallpapers on old phones (S1, S2) that would react to touch - signals spreading via pcb traces from finger upon poking the screen, rings in water surface growing, strange cube undulating landscape, etc, etc.
There was even a wallpaper i could play with - some sort of bacteria growing wallpaper, where upon poking the screen you spawn life, that needs to feed on other spawns of different colors...
Gyro activated wallpapers, sound reactive, touch responsive - that sort of thing.
Yeah, yeah, battery life... dont care
All i find now is "look at this aerial night new york footage" live wallpaper... bleh. Just got S21 Ultra and well disappointed in wallpapers...
#EDIT1# Ha, found my old microbes.apk live wallpaper, the microbe feeding thing Still works on S21 Ultra...Noice... And its from ICS gen...oof... i feel old...
