Hey guys I was wondering if anyone is running this launcher on their phone and if it lives up to the hype. 15 dollars is kind of much for an app but this thing looks awesome.

Not running it, looks pretty sweet though. Wondering how much battery life gets used.

I tried it with my Nexus S.
Guess what, it used up 55mb of RAM for launcher itself and 20mb for the widget.
Battery life was normal, just keep in mind that you cant run much apps otherwise, it will kill your launcher
I tried every launcher in the market (waste too much money through, but it worth for a experience and choose the best for myself).
I stick to MIUI launcher (iphone style).
I suggest you to try REGINA 3D launcher, is it pretty much the same
However, it's FREE
I tried the beta before it was on the market and liked it. I bought it when it came to market. I'm very happy with it. I don't use all the time. I switch back and forth between the stock launcher and the SPB. It sure is great to show to you I-phone loving friends. It's the WOW factor.
I'm using it and I love it! Its expensive! For an app

Well if love the app, then its worth it. But I'm not sure if I'm gonna get it, but maybe sometime in the future. I'm still using the gingerbread launcher and its going pretty good. Ha. Not to many features, but its alright.

No scrollable widgets, resource hog = fail
Remember when SPB didn't make bloated software???
Oh wait..
m on stock n it works like a charm .. i got it cracked ..
battery life is like barely 3-5% drain more but u expect tht .. yea ram is eaten up but ur still left with arnd 100mb which is more than enuf to run anything ..
i remember on my milestone being happy when i got 45mb free

I bought it and I wish I didn't its not for me I went back to Go Launcher. I like to hide the status bar and I like swipes among a few other things that Shell don't offer. I wish I would of tried it first. Oh well you live and you learn
It's the only launcher I've used since it came out, love it. Battery life has been stable, I charge over night and it lasts me all day.

I have no problems with spb on my NS4G. Runs wonderfully.

Every time I run Angry Birds, SPB reloads in my Nexus S. I'm going back to my Go Launcher...
Tried this and had no problems with it but its a bit too much "stuff" really. I prefer to keep it simple, so I'm not really using it.

Ive used it as my main launcher for a while now but im going to seek others soon as it never gets updates with new widgets and uses 75mb ram on my ns. Also the loading is a ***** especially when it fc when u need your phone :s
so far so good
Using it for couple of days, its a RAM hog, battery life is no different from Zeam. but it freezes in sms and call widgets. yaa too expensive, they are working on a real3D screen now... hope i get my regular updates. it has a diff color temperature..my nexsus s visually looks like its 2.3.1
Used it about one month as main launcher. For me it was too much design and not enough speed + it freezed a couple of times. At the end I can say nice but stock is better.

Installed Gingerbread yesterday, and would like to share my experience of the first day.
Here are a few things I noticed.
1. Overall speed of phone is better then froyo. My phone used to lag sometimes on froyo, but on gingerbread it's flying.
2. Battery life is better then before. Definitely better. Last's around 3-4 hrs longer than froyo.
3. One issue that might be in my phone is that movies played with a slight lag, but GB rom fixes this issue as well.
4. HTC Sense 2.1 is good, slight improvement. The new app drawer is better, organizing everything in All Apps, Frequent and Downloaded.
...will continue to bring updates as days progress.
Will also try to post some screenshot or video if possible soon.
How did you manage it get GB on an S-On, in India?

Lol. Not functioning on Vibrant. Works fine on Captivate. Ghey right....

It's cool to see the better battery time. Usually I will need to charge my Incredible S in the late afternoon under my heavy use. It seems that after the update it may be able to sustain 1 day long for my use.

To install GB on S-ON IS i india, just create a Goldcard using this method:

Then download the official ROM from the Shipped Rom Section here:

I used the Virgin ROM.
And flash as normal. Worked flawlessly here.

Had the same issue, but now its somehow better.
Mine shipped with GB as i got mine through Optus Australia. Weird for us to be ahead in the android software..... Aussie carriers are usually slow
Im loving it btw, so smooth and the multitasking ability is great.... although i did just come from a Dream/G1......
could anyone run Quadrant on gingerbread and post up the scores? it would be interesting to compare

Ok, this is the second day now. Everything has been fine.
One thing i noticed is that weather of my current location is not getting updated. Also the weather screens didn't update properly once or twice.
GPS is working ok, kinda locates me very well and fast.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App
I have noticed this weather widget location problem too, it is specific to HTC widgets as beautiful widgets still update the location fine. I am looking into this issue to see if I can correct it in my ROM
Is the phone mic usable when a normal headphone without mic is plugged in during a call?

Now that you've mentioned it, i tried other HTC widgets too.... result.... The people widgets some times goes blank... takes a few secs to load the people I have added to the people widget. However, working fine for past 8-9 hrs now.
It's so tempted to install this RUU. Just saw an article in Android Advices regarding rooting the new Galaxy S II, and its so easy. Why couldn't HTC do the same.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App
Updated to 2.3.3 yesterday and muyt say everything runs a lot smoother. Still some stucking at widgets.
I have notice that the Sounds by pushing the Buttons sometimes Not work, after using over an hour.
And there is way to personalize the homescreen in the setting, when I click that it goes directly to the homescreen. Whitout any function. Sorry for my Bad english.

Anyone who installed GB, can mesure current consuption (with CurrentWidgwt) when the screen is off and when u put the device in airplane mode(screen off)? tx
Would like to know if the keyboard swap faster when you rotate the phone when typing I found it pretty slow in 2.2
I want to upgrade my IS to GB too. But I want to backup the current ROM. Is there any way to do it? My phone has S-on.
I recently bought note (white) and it runs on stock rom. I have a gs2 as well, and i feel note is laggy sometimes and not as superfast as gs2. i dont prefer custom roms. Is there any tips to make the phone faster? I have many apps running in sd instead of phone. would that make a diff?

I think we just need to give samsung time to create better stock roms for us. Having been on the full journey for sgs1 im sure the note will be blazing fast in the future roms
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
For the time being use an alternative launcher which should give you a boost, example LauncherPro...
But still felt smoother with stock launcher.
thanks, it wox
Update to Kl7 firmware. It seems to have resolved most of the lagginess that made the Note feel slow
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
right. KL7 fixed it all.
I prefer GoLauncher, it's much smoother than LauncherPro. Homescreen switching is not as smooth as Touchwhiz tho.

Lol, funny how these launcher's work. In my case it's the opposite, LauncherPro is miles faster & smoother than both ADW Launcher & GoLauncher...
Ha, ADW has been very smooth on mine! I have not tried the other launchers on my note yet though. I updated to KL7 ota within an hour of acquiring the device, and have not experienced any lag whatsoever.
Guys, I am been a die hard fan of Apple iPhone and just last week I have shifted to Android, so I am not sure what you guys are talking about when it comes to launcher and KL5 or KL 7. Can someone guide me? My G-Note is not smooth as it should have been. I will appreciate an honest guidance
If you have task killer remove it. This device has enough ram

I tried it a while back, if it was a lil more customizeable i wouldve loved it but also the only way for me to get no lag was to overclock to 1.9 which i cant do all the time :/

I used this for a while. It was a cool idea but every other time I went to home it had to reinitialize. I eventually went back to more stable launchers.
I can't find this app for the life of me lol
EDIT: was looking for it with my Prime gonna try my phone. damn compatability issues lol
EDIT2: Yeah I found it on my phone. To bad I can't have it on my Prime I bet it would run great on there and make it worth while. Looks like a free SPB shell

I'm on cm7 with a Holo launcher and m2sd and it's pretty good. I was on evervolv 4.1 for a couple months and it was pretty stable, the biggest issue I had was call answer delay of several seconds. Now that I'm using the phone part of my n1 a lot more I thought I should go back to gb not to mention my girlfriend has an iPhone 4s and thinks iPhones are the best thing ever, and since she doesn't understand custom roms and stuff I don't want her to experience any kind of glitch or freeze when she picks up my phone.
I used a port of oxygen on an old LG optimus one I had and sold and it made that phone seem way quicker than it was.

This phone sucks at multitasking. Galaxy S2 has a dual-core 1.5 GHz processor as well, but it multitasked with ease. This phone feels like an old person that's gonna croak over and die whenever I multitask things. Ex: I'd be downloading an app and go to my messages to read a new message. The phone lags like hell before it opens the message.
The only reason I haven't traded it or sold it is because the only phone I'd consider purchasing right now is an iPhone 4s. I agree android is a bit better but I got bored of it.
But the multitasking problem is the main reason why I dislike this phone (aside from locked BL and and 3 giant buttons taking up the screen.)

I haven't had any problems so far even on stock rom . Maybe you are a mad because of the locked bootloader just like mostly anyone here but don't worry hopefully we will get it unlocked .

I've had this issue on stock, joker and batakang.
I haven't noticed at all...
Personally, the ENTIRE time I've had my Atrix, I never noticed any multitasking lag...
Then again, it all depends on how you use the phone in the first place...
I mainly download, tweet, listen to music and (attempt to) clear the MGS VR missions on mine and I can switch back and forth rather smoothly...
the phone lags when trying to do more than one thing at a time, on any rom.
yes the phone sucks.

Have you frozen most, if not all the stock bloatware, have a static wallpaper (nothing that moves), doth thou use task killers?
Oh and what's your usual CPU usage? (What's your hourly average... guestimate if you have to...)
I used pimp my rom and set the oom values to medium and used greenify to hibernate apps and my phone is running great.

Then we do most of the same. If I download an app (let's say Firefox mobile.) I'd go back to twitter, but it'd take a while for twitter to come back up. Even if I don't clear my recent apps, it will still lag when I'm on there.

It would only get laggy if you have a ton of "recent apps"...
I usually keep 5~7 apps recent and clear away the apps I don't need to keep "recent"
Oh and you could use greenify too while you're at it...

If you have to do all this then you are proving his point.
I buyed my AHD at 250$ factory unlock on kijiji in very good condition and for the price I think its a very verry good phone I was going to buy a one S at 320 when I saw this phone . Now Im so happy with it no lags at all. If someone unlock the bootloader it will be a purchase of gold

I never said I used all that
I just use Greenify and switch between a static and live wallpaper all the time... (I'm very indecisive...)
All I did was mention various tactics to to help... Oh and to mention that task killers are bad... Just the usual stuff...
I've tried using greenify and can't get much out of it because you cant do anything with system apps.
That's why you pair it with other battery saving apps like juice defender...
IMO I used JD's Extreme Settings, and just go with that and greenify.
I haven't charged from yesterday, leaving about 53% (I had 55% at midnight, left wi-fi on...)
I've watched Skyfall (in glorious HD) with wi-fi on in the background, and I'm about to start the last Ninja VR Mission for MGS with 32% left.
No Lag, No Issues. If people still insist on complaining about the phone, so be it. This phone is a diamond in the rough, you have to be the one to make it what is.
