SPB Shell on the Xoom? - Xoom Themes and Apps

Does it work? Id hate to spend all that moolah and find its broken or slow!

It is a little slow, and really not that impressive from what I have read. I'm not impressed with it on my Epic.
There are a few other threads about it if you search for it. Maybe they are more specific than me.

I do not know if it works on the xoom but i downloaded it for my viewsonic Gtab and it works great! It is really cool, 3D style graphics and runs smooth. I would imagine it runs being as they both have the same processor? But,,,I have heard some say that it does not work on the xoom? Just make sure you do a refund on the market within 15 mins if it doesnt and you should be fine.

The VS GTab uses an older generation T2 than the XOOM (I think) so they're not identical. Runs on my Vibrant. Haven't tried on my XOOM.

meaning they are both nvidea tegra two cpu's.

I just got this on my Nexus S, it works great on my Nexus S, I doubt it would work good on the Xoom, I tried LauncherPro on my Xoom and it worked but the functionality seemed extremely dampered. Just wait a month or two before we see devs make launchers for Honeycomb.
Sent from my Xoom

personally I really like the stock launcher, but theres the really screeching app drawer and limited screen number...

I have SPB shell on my DX, I sideloaded and it will not run on my Xoom.

I bought SPB and it works great on my Galaxy S, but on the Xoom it only runs in portrait mode and it's very pixely/grainy. I'm hoping their Honeycomb launcher comes out soon!
Gah I can't post a link to it as this is my first post! Google SPB Honeycomb.

Yes it does run but like he said the background is very pixelated but the foreground is perfect

That looks sick! I have SPB on my phone but don't use it as my launcher but I will definitely use it for my Xoom if they get it working like that.

i wouldnt mind running it in this case anyways. does anyone know of any secret of getting it to run at all and not just be a black screen...?

I got it running on Xoom but also just had black screen.

I currently have it on my XOOM and it's working perfectly!! There's an experimental tablet mode that allows it to work in landscape just fine and I believe yesterday the app was updated!! It definitely looks nice on the xoom but the other version in the video above looks bad ass!!! I was also wondering to anyone who has purchased the application on the phone would I have any problems using it on my tablet as well being that it'll be purchased on my phone?? I tried it from an apk I found first because I didn't want to spend the money at first if it wasn't going to work. But seeing that it does now I don't mind spending the money! Please someone let me know! Basically how do I get it from my phone onto my xoom and still have it work?

I am running it on my stock wifi Xoom and it works, although is sluggish at time. I did not need to do anything special other than install and open. It will hang occasionally, but works more often than not.

hmm, strange. i downloaded it from the db link above and installed just fine. but it just wont open. i'll try downloading it to my pc and moving it over manually.
Seems like a really nice app just to bad you have to pay a monthly/yearly fee to use it. Kinda sucks

Beejive for honeycomb

Just wanted to let everyone knows that beejive just got updated to work on honeycomb

sweet thanks for the info!

Hmmm...still doesn't show up in the market?anybody able to download it?
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
It appears on the market if you enter via webpage or at Beejive's site (where you can download a trial). http://www.beejive.com/android
I tried the trial from beejive web, but it seems not honeycomb optimized..
I got the same feeling but I went to look at the version and it's the latest one. The same that on market says it's optimized...
awesome ;-) Going to pick it up now -- seems HC is finally getting to get some apps to work properly
OK...just downloaded the trial...where is the settings button? Lol...or am I missing something?

Pandora did the same thing. They finally optimized it for HC but they missed the menu button on the buttom. Few days later, a update rolled around. I am sure this is the case since beejive is running properly.
Give it a bit...Im sure they will update -- Or if you want to be sure, contact their support ;-)
Kinda found out something...
The BeejiveForFacebook (which is free) also has been updated. So I tried downloading it as a test and it says something like "download canceled, your device is not compatible". So apparently they added support for HC but not for Xoom! GREAT JOB Beejiveians!!!

That doesn't make any sense my friend. :x
That's like saying "They added support for microsoft office for windows 7, but not for dell machines"...
Like I said, just give them time.
I understand what you are saying, I just wrote what appeared in my Xoom. Probably Beejive does not support HC 3.0.1 just 3.0...
Probably stick with trillian on my xoom since it works well till they polish up more on beejive lol
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
when i saw this i originally got all excited but then i looked in the market and its still not there. Then I went to their website and downloaded the demo and it is no way optimized for honeycomb. So now its back to using trillian while I wait for a proper "optimized for honeycomb" version of my favorite
mesenger hits the market.

Just giving you guys a heads up. Beejive updated today which added HC 3.1 support in the market. Runs perfectly. Menu appears and all...
Enjoy!

Why wat wrong? ive also been wondering hows the battery life?
I want to go back to other update...since update some apps aren't on market. I just dislike it overall
I like it. However lots of games I had don't work no more.
They did work with an edited build prop but even now after rooting and editing the build prop again to the lg optimus 2x some games still report 'this device is not supported' There must now also be something else but I don't know what!

This is one reason I'm hesitating about the upgrade. Many, many programs will not work with HC ... yet.

Interesting. My stock S7 is quite snappy the way it is. My only complaint is the battery life.

I really miss app2sd. I thought HC did some magic and pseudo-combined the data and app storage so that app2sd wasn't needed but I still see the 1.9G app storage. So now I'm completely confused.

And while the system does seem snappier I see no difference in battery life. I'm fighting getting the HTC flyer at the new low price. I might go check it out now.

My Camera works with no issues.
System is snappier but on first night of use battery was an issue. Like most new flashes I'll give it a couple days to settle down and see before passing final judgement.
Only thing so far with my apps, no HOB GO, other than that everything is working but further testing today.

Do you have netflix? Working?
I have it installed and it starts up but I don't have a log in to fully test
Sent from my Dell Streak 7 using xda premium
Netflix isn't working for streaming get I get the same "12001 " error I get with my Toshiba Thrive with 3.1 and my wifes Acer A500 with 3.2, Netflix just has to get on the ball.
As far as a general S7 3.2 opinion, I agree the S7 seems more snappy, most of the apps have matured to their 3.x UI which is generally a big improvement over the 2.2 phone app UI.
Only down side I have experianced is that the Evernote app turns into a real pain after I go the Anderoid Market and let it install the "update" for the app I finally had to uninstall the update and leave the original version intact not that I use the app anyway.
Getting lots of launcher fc's after the cw mod to root. So far I am not impressed DJ steves ran better...
Ive been perfectly happy with DJ Steve's build since it came out. Is there any advantage besides having an official release on the S7. From what I have been reading, I am having doubts of even going through the trouble to upgrade.
Ok day 3, battery is settling down a bit but having problems with a few apps.
Yahoo mail FC after a delete on an individual email
GetJar won't start up at all
Still have a few more apps and games to try.

[UPDATED] [APP] Netflix 360, Honeycomb optimized (from HC enabled market app)

I'm getting tired of the slow scrolling and choppy behavior of apps that shouldn't be. Here is the Netflix app, latest, I think, that I modified to be optimized for Honeycomb. Basically just improves overall app performance.
Enjoy. (attached)
* (You will probably have to uninstall your current Netflix app to try this)
* Updated to Netflix version (360) from the market, released for Honeycomb officially on 10/19/11.
cant install...but I can download it...
You might have to uninstall the old version first.
Works great! (Yes, I did need to uninstall the previous version.)
Thanks!
app works, is very smooth on my Xoom. Thanks

Can someone confirm
I tend to trust the members of XDA quite a lot, however, I'm not going to blindly install this apk. Can anyone confirm that it works?
I'm scared to login as well. The login bars arent misaligned like the account stealing Netflix APk reported to be floating around but I'm still nervous. Has anyone tried this? I'm sorry I'm questioning your work, it probably is fine and a great job done, you just can't be too cautious these days.

You know what's legit? The actual market provided app. It's easy enough to get the APK from a backup on a device that supports it.
If you installed any netfix apk on the xoom then let me make you just a little more paranoid! Did you get the other from the market? I didn't think so.......hmmmmm wonder who got you login from that version? Lol!

Not you! The people that got from XDA thread! Like me! OMG someone may be watching Netflix with my info!! No j/k. The app is fine. Don't know why everyone is so scared these days. I locked my CC with Netflix so you can't just go in and change it with the app or online. Have to have more info to make any changes.

If you look through all of mrschmitz's posts on xda you will see he also optimized a nasa app for honeycomb and has contributed some dev work on multiple other things.
Always good to be paranoid with this sort of thing, but I would say it is probably safe.
I am surprised he hasn't chimed in and defended himself yet though.
Confirmed working. i just uninstalled, didn't bother trying without uninstall. Thanks!
Installed it. Video quality seemed to be better. Cam on here to read the comments and got paranoid at removed the app. Waiting for confirmation that this is ok, although i already logged on with the new app so if it was fake it would be too late right?
Doesn't work in Canada just like every other apk out there. Prompts me to update and says visit there bull**** website. A tablet and no Netflix...

Quickoffice Pro HD $19.99 FREE

If anyone would like this app for free its the Amazon App store free app of the day. I use it with my xoom and love it. I was using a hacked before, but the free one from today is more up to date and works great.
Same here, just grabbed it. I can't decide between this and OfficeSuite Pro. OfficeSuite seems to have a lot of typing lag when using an external keyboard so is practically useless when writing papers in my opinion. Hopefully that's fixed soon because that looks very refined.
And if you haven't seen ThinkFree it looks VERY good on tablets, but seems to have a large amount of bugs.
Yea I use quick office at school every day with the Acer android Bluetooth keyboard works very well. I wish it had spell check but other wise its very nice to use.
I wish i would have looked at this yesterday. I missed out.
Can someone tell me how to use footnote on quickoffice? Or is it not possible? Only editing footnotes? Garbage..
