Zeam - LG Revolution

Got zeam after reading some positive things about it on here. I like it a lot so far, but it's taking ages to load one screen after an unlock...

Spb shell 3d on nexus s

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.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
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 just get force close after force close on my ns4g. I'm running cm7 nightly 63, and the matr1x 5.5 kernel.
Tried a "free" version and paid, same result.

Same thing here !
I bought mobile shell 3d 2.1 and it gives me a black screen on start up !
I'am also using ns4g
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.

Bionic Bugs

Battery freezes on a certain % may or may not be fully charged. Mine after unplugging and plugging finaly showed 100%
When charging ...screen is not very responsive.
3rd bug i noticed BLUR still sux. Makes phone feel slower than my Incredible 2.
Dont see myself keeping this device.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
1. Not getting that freezing percentage...
2. Screen is completely responsive for me during charging.
3. The GB Blur has *actually* impressed me. The launcher feels smooth and I actually like the Blur widgets...call me crazy.
Try rebooting the phones, battery pulls, or charging from an outlet instead of a computer.

I am with you. No issues so far!!
Mine has been plugged into a charger (not a USB port) for 5 hours. Started at 40% and has maxed at 60%. When I get home I'm going to go ahead and shut her down and try a different charger. May be some funky batteries. Nothing else has bothered me (and to tell the truth I've been messing around with it every 10 minutes so it may actually be charging!)

I did hear they were make changes to it so this should be good..
Blur is improved but still garbage..... one thing i will say is RECEPTION is the best i ever had!!!!
My incredible 2 sucked.... this is getting amazing reception. Thats why i got it. Moto is great there.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
So far the only "bug" I have found is reception/signal strength is crappy. With my Bolt I was able to get 4g in my home and 4g at work. At my desk now I get no signal (Bolt 4g 1-2 bars), on my drive home tends to drop to 3g often (bolt stays on 4g), and at home 3g only one bar (bolt 4g 2 bars).
I really am begging to like the Bionic love having the moto keyboard back but the radio is making me hesitate keeping it.

I'll second this. Reception has been fantastic for me as well. Significantly better than the Incredible and Fascinate I used prior to this. Moto always has had good reception IME. Some of the best.
I just really, really, don't like this screen. I'm spoiled coming off of Super AMOLED from Samsung. It's not as bad as others I've seen in my day, but I certainly expected better from a flagship phone.
Aside from that and a locked boot loader, the phone's actually pretty good. Love the LTE speeds and how snappy it is.

Have to agree.. in my house going between my tbolt and bionic I get consistanly better 4g reception witht he tbolt.. (running shifttheory thanks droidtheory)
I was thinking maybe it was the rainstorms here but after moving the sim back to the tbolt that is not the case.
well after checking the status in the phone they are both around the same dec... -88 to -91.. in the same location.. however the tbolt shows more bars...
Also I do notice that the speed seems to be a little better on the bionic...
now if a decent theory rom could come out for this...
You can't judge by bars. Some Roms show different bar ratings than stock.
I'm getting about the same reception between the two.

Thanks for the heads up! I was hesitant to install any custom launcher because I didn't want to lose the widgets.

Anybody having vibrate issues? Mine was fine and now it sounds like crap. Very annoying and noisy. Kinda hard to explain.

Regina 3D Launcher

Just found this the other day and have been using it since then. It's been running pretty nice. Is anyone else using it?
Sent from my VS910 4G using XDA App
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 :/
Sent from my VS910 4G using the super crazy insane awesomely amazing supa fly pimptastic Blue MIUI theme
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 used this one for awhile too and i loved the idea of different workspaces especially the ability to have a locked/hidden workspace, but the lack of customization as G4 man2 mentioned is what killed it for me as well.

Looking for the perfect rom.... For me.

Don't worry I'm not asking "Which rom is the best". After all thats an insult to developers and its a matter of preference anyway. I'm asking which one meets my needs or most of them anyway. I'm looking for a rom with the following:
*No annoying "android is upgrading" on every boot
*All animations enabled
*wifi tethering unlocked
*ability to disable lte and use hspa+/Edge only
Other things that would be nice but not as important:
*bloatware removed (I can do this with TB anyway if rooted)
*ASOP notification bar theme, no more gb looking icons (probably can do this with uot kitchen dunno)
*"visual voicemail" button removed from dialer Google voice button instead? (Is this possible? If anything just linking gvoice to it would work)
*Sense 4 launcher or just a modified 3.6 launcher with Widgets in the app drawer (I don't think it exists but I know I could just as well use apex or nova but I love the sense Widgets)
*removed recent apps from notification area (whats the point? I can just hold home anyway)
*configurable quick settings
Also ROM has to work on the HTC vivid on at&t. Quick question too does permaroot mean permanent forever? Like there's no way back? Also I noticed the vivid tools and the rooting ics guide which one should I use? And lastly do I need to achieve s-off or is rooting enough? I apologize for all the questions but I came from the captivate and its stock with an unlocked bootloader and almost designed for rooting and custom roms
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
So you would defenitely want either PGs rum float or (just Google: androidninjas)
Or wild child's from. Google wcxxperia...
As for permroot , it means it is permanent you want loose root on reboot or power downs. But not permanent as in never go back. There are a hand full of ways to go back...
Try using the super guide first. I think In the guide he puts a link to his toolkit. But since you aren't really familiar with this use the super guide. It goes step by step.
Hope this helped.

How about you read all of the ROM's threads, test each one out and see which one you like.
I've been reading up on them but its a bit confusing ATM.
you can't go wrong with the Virtuous Inquisition rom or the wajee ones, search the development thread, there are like 5 new roms.
Yeah gotta admit with the great one x reviews and the gs3 launch I was starting to regret getting this phone but seeing the recent surge in development makes me feel more confident. I originally didn't plan on rooting and installing a custom rom but I kept my captivate stock for all of 2 weeks and its killing me how limited I am to customizing plus I loved using my cappys wifi tether with my flyer and lte is eating my batteries and killing my phone when using Pandora over Bluetooth! If anything I may just root soon so I can tweak the phone
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
Sounds like either the virtuous or Wajee's from would be a good choice for you. They are ports of sensation rooms so all three current ones have hspa/edge connectivity only from what I've seen. They are very slick and quick with running either the stock ics launcher (wajee's unsensed) or apex (virtuous). There might be a few bugs still being worked out but those are the closest to what you seem to require at the moment!
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
Yeah I was looking at both of those. Does hspa+ aka fake 4G work?
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
as far as I can tell all signs points to yes. I ran some speed test and they are holding close to what I got stock in my non-lte town
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
Cool. Only thing is I do love the sense widgets and the lockscreen shortcuts. Guess you can't have it all.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
The unsensed beta has lock screen shortcuts, but no HTC Widgets tho unfortunately. That's a sacrifice for such a nice rom. But with beautiful widget you don't really need the HTC Widgets.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
Yeah I got beautiful Widgets and fancy Widgets actually. Bought fancy Widgets when I got my captivate and beautiful Widgets was on sale for 10 cents during Google's 10 days of 10 cent apps. They do a great job no doubt but one thing they can't do is animations. But they do have an advantage with the ability to link custom weather apps because honestly the sense one is meh.
The unsensed one must of borrowed that from cm. CM7 had the rings lock screen where you could add a third ring and add up to 4 shortcuts with it. What is the aosp ics lock screen like? The way Google made it sound was lock screen shortcuts are built in. Honestly as long as I can access my camera I'm good.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
From what I can tell its pretty much the same lock screen then. Camera/phone/SMS/unlock from that screen.one bonus too is lock screen control for music apps . Rdio/slacker is so much better now
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
Sounds good I'll give them a try when I get time to sit down with this thing. My flyer took a bit to get it rooted, lots of adb commands etc. Don't think the vivid will be as bad as the flyer doesn't have a GUI to use.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
Rooting the phone is quite simple. Even doing the s-off is fairly a easy process when it comes down to it. Follow the guide and you should be fine. If you need help post here or jump on the irc, a lot of smart people hang out there and love helping out.

Wait, they don't have LTE? Why would that be the case, since it is using a Holiday radio? I personally haven't tested it, as I don't live in an LTE area.
Also, Virtuous is using Nova, which I instantly replaced with the stock ICS launcher.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA Premium App
I don't even really care about lte now. Only real use of it is to show off your download speed to your friends. But it eats your battery alive and causes overheating issues and just pointless anyway with a 2 gig data cap. When I went on vacation a coupled weeks ago I went out of lte coverage and battery life was worlds better and I was still getting 12 meg down. 12 meg is what my home internet is so hspa+ is all you really need.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
As far as I've seen the ports don't have late because they are straight ports. These roms don't have lte support built in. You can confirm this by going in the dialer and typing *#*#4636#*#* and under phone information. The option for late isn't available. But like the op said. Its mostly not required while using your phone 90% of the time. It just uses your data a lot faster and doesn't really change much else in your web browsing experience.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
Hey one quick question. I was looking at the Junopeterbear S-off and it looks kind of complicated...wire trick? Do I need to even concern myself with that or is just unlocking the bootloader and obtaining root access enough? ugh... I have to take the phone apart? Man I don't even wanna mess with that. Hopefully they'll have an ADB method or cwm flashable method in the future. I'll just stay away from that!
Edit: yeah sure enough the screw on the panel I need to pull off has a sticker that says "void" on it. I don't want to void my warrenty. Obviously flashing a rom technically does that but only if they can proove it! Might be different if I ever even once made it through a contract without having to swap my phone out for various hardware failures (Captivates speaker broke swapped it out and 3 months later the power button died on the refirb)

According to cruzin_cruising, the Virtuous ROM still has LTE support. I don't really know, since I don't live in an LTE area.

Best Battery Saving & most "simple" ROM?

I am looking for a fast, simple, battery saving rom for a novice user.
Please help
Since no one wants to help ya I say the oxygen1mod Tom is a good fast smooth and good battery rom
Sent from my Nexus One using xda app-developers app
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.
