I was wondering if any one has tried the new SPB 3d launcher on their tablet?
I just installed it on my evo and left my tab at home. In the description it says it will not work on tablets but i was just wondering since we are not running honeycomb if it would work. I will try for myself when I get home just wanted to see if anyone beat me to the punch.

I recently bought a multitouch Gateway One ZX computer.
comes with a 23" ultrabright multi touch screen...
i would love to see if i can get HTC (Sense lookalike) UI on it.
i would love to see the HTC sense clock ... with appointments... just the way i see it on my diamond ....
Any help is appreciated.
I'm sure if there aren't any apps like it. I'm sure thats gonna be the next best seller for all the windows 7 touch users.

all the 3d feutures are included in spb mobile shell 3.5 too, as i can tell the inly thing that is new in 5 is the animated contact tab and the change wallpaper in home tab. If u allready got 3.5 go to graphic settings and set "use hardware accelerator" to on, and if u have a g-sensor phone u can allso use that 2
hope it still supports windows 6.1
SPB has gone far ahead with this release. People are just loving it..looking forward
Guys,
Just in case if u didn't saw thsi official preview video explaining the new function then see this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bE7vkxJnKY&feature=related
Must watch excellent presentation i have ever seen.
i would like integration with RSS as some widget you can put on the first page.
i prefer all-in-one solution (facebook, rss, some photo contacts, agenda, some shortcuts... in one screen). At least we have 3,6" windows mobiles as HD2 with hi res.
I think Touch flo is step back,
Also it will be good to make easier widget change or resizing like Samsung's touchwiz or lot of different widgets.
I hope MS5.0 still support "free connection" update unlike Android or Touchwiz.
I just hope I won't have to work months to convert all my stuff lol
EDIT: oh, and I also hope they'll finally give a meaning to the currenly almost useless tasks widget
i didnt even know version 4 is out yet!

it isn't... it won't
they're going straight from 3.5.3 to 5.0... looks like in some eastern cultures the number 4 means bad luck, so they're skipping it

I noticed in the second youtube link in this thread, there is mention of the widget sdk. The description was kind of sketchy, but it could mean that developers will now have a platform to develop their own widgets (instead of just skinning existing ones) which could really open up the platform. It would be truly great to see what some of the developers here can do!
same old SPB only with 3D crap
i think its all marketing trick..
why "5"? you have only added 3D.. so.. why?
its not that you have developed new concept.
i think its the same old **** with only 3d cover.

Well, for instance, if they add multitouch I may go back to SPB... otherwise, I stay with Sense.
meh where is it? i remember that release date was summer this year...I waiting for v5 so long..,Any news about rel date?
Greetings!
I got my phone a few days ago to upgrade from my tilt 2 and it just feels like going from a Athlon 64 to a i7 LOL
A few things that are not quite there yet like the playstation emulation is no quite on par with what I have seen on Windows mobile..compatibility wise...I cannot get www.veoh.com to play even with Skyfiew and even southparkstudios is not quite as smooth (although much better looking) than on my tilt2 but I guess when Froyo is out the problems with Flash will be gone.
The main thing I want to work with now is making the home screen look more like my Tilt2 Energy ROM that I like so much.
I got the Launcher Pro + but I cannot even figure how to change clock and to show weather animation on the home page like the Energy Rom...or even if that is possible.
Any help is welcome.
PS Has anyone gotten the Amiga emulator to work yet?

The closest I can find to what you want is launcher pro and beautiful widgets (adds the home widget with the large clock + weather a la energy rom) hope that helps
Thanks.
I found fancy widgets which looks just like HTC.
Unfortunately the only live weather I have found takes a lot of resources unlike the one for our HTC phones so I guess I would have to wait a bit more on that one.
Regards
For appointments on your home page, try "agenda widget", It's great and very customizable. You can make it look just like sense, but even better in my opinion.
Thanks mate...is looking better already and this fun is just freaking awesome
I just need scummvm to be happier and a working amiga emulator as well.
Guys i am waiting for the android to be rooted but till then experimentation of the ui with apps is under process !!
The excellent launcher i recently used unofficially is SPB Shell 3d .. got a link lying around somewhere (Google)
http://www.spb.com/android-software/shell/
Here's the official link ofcourse !! this app has a license as in if your wifi or internet is on this app will say that you need to officially buy the software !!
Basically when you install it with an apk !! and press the home button it will ask for htc sense / spb shell 3d in our htc incredible s and down will be a tickmark saying set as default .. check that tickmark and launch spb shell 3d !! and use it as full version with wifi and everything !! if you want to clear defaults it can be done from Settings->Applications->SPB shell 3d !!
This is just for usage and trial purposes !! if you like the app go ahead and buy it ! Njoy !!!
ive played with it allready and i dont like it at all....
it is not very user friendly, and it sucks up allot of memory...
and yes ive played with the full version...
IMO, sense is nicer than this! i have spb on all my devivces
even i lovee sense itself !! but its good to have a change sometimes
@nikhil007mmus, you should look at go launcher its nice and clean and has a lil more options than the regular one
@Hawkysoft Surely il try go Launcher !! thankss !!
Yeah... I tried too.. But HTC Sense is looking better comparatively, and moreover I found that on HTC 3D mobile, they have a 3D user interface which is much cool than SPB Shell.. If they release the same for Incredible S too.. it would be awesome...
May be I am day dreaming a lot these mean days...
htc sense is enoughfor me
i like MIUI's GUI,the others are just so so

Here the same. (I used spb shell on my last phone, blackstone)
From Nameit's Incredible s using XDA Premium App
It is so tacky and cheesy. The 3d carrousel looks good but all the bezels for widgets and folders are just 10 years out of date.
seems very cool, have a try ~~~
If you want to see how good this could be been, and could have looked, look at sense 3 on the sensation or flyer.
using live wallpaper already take enough CPU time....and the 3D does not do any good
love the sense
I tried this, looks cool and doesn't lag but wished it had more customization capabilities, reverted back to launcher pro plus
I like sense 3.0 much better than spb
There is nothing as good as LauncherPro

awsome!! it looks great, i like it.
thx 4 sharing!!
This used to be cool. Back when I had my N95 8gb but in my opinion they are just selling the same old over priced crap

Is it worth the money? No. But the stereoscopic 3D is cool for a guy with a little extra cash ;-). What do you guys think about SPB Shell in general, and about the stereoscopic? Here are pictures (needs 3D glasses)
edit: pics are blurry.... sorry

wait... can our device even RUN SPD Shell? I have my doubts, especially since the font and stuff looks really messed up.
In my opnion, its not worth it, and yes the slide can handle it. I've tried it before, if you do some google search you can find a full paid apk file of it like me.
I don't exchange sense for nothing else!

what stopped me from getting SPB is I heard it has terrible customization, dunno tho, the carousel (however you spell it) and widgets look pretty neat (damn, I want sense 3.0/3.5 so bad T_T).
