i like a lot of the launcher spb shell.
i have tried a lot of launchers, and for me, the spb shell is the best.
but some times it takes about 15 sec to activate it
is there any rom with only spb shell launcher for ace?
is it to hard to make one?
i use stock lite 7.1 with battery extender 1.4.1
No its warez aka paid app

You will never find a rom with spb as default launcher, atleast not on xda.
You can always buy it and replace it with your default launcher.
Or use a patch for it.
Message me if you need the patch
Patch also works with later versions of spb shell.

Make spb shell launcher as ur default launcher. It will take less time as bfore.

SPB Shell 3D is a paid app and xda forums dont have any warez.
Just move the app to system/app and then set it as your default launcher.
The best way to do it is buy it set as default, then delete stock launcher using root explorer

I suppose you are a grown up man and you have probably rooted up your phone. :silly: So if you don't like the default launcher then go ahead and perform following:
1. Open PS. Download (Rather buy) SPB SHell
2. Download Home Manager
3. Now Activate SPB and go back to home manager (I bet your phone would be dead slow in this stage )
4. In it click on the default launcher and press 'Kill'
5. Uninstall the default launcher from your phone. Or kick it out forcibly from /system/apps
6 Now your SPB is default launcher.

I really like nitsuj17 lists that he has made for roms, kernels, and themes and thought I would start my own.
To begin with I have gone through several of the first pages of this forum to look for good apps to start the list off with. Some of these are apps that I personally have found to work very well and better than the stock apps.
Please post any apps that have to do with rooting, replacing stock apps i.e. (chomp sms, launcher pro, or live home), or flashing. Please do not post games and entertainment apps. I will probably start a new thread for those kinds of apps later.

I personally do not think that desktop visualizer is that useful but that might just be me. Tell me wether or not y'all think I should include it in the list.
ADW Ex should be listed under launchers.

I would agree except for the fact that it makes it easy to flash themes, roms, and kernels without having to go into clockwork mod. If it did not have that I would regard it as useless.

Dude what about dropbox? couldn't live without it
I haven't had any luck trying to find a weather or messaging widget like the one spb shell has. I'm trying to not have to dish out a good 15 bucks for launcher that I like for two of its widgets... Any one know of any others out that are like those two?
Search for SPB Shell 3D apk on google on download it, then get a file manager like astro and just install it for free.
Tried that, it has a license check. I've tried all the cracked methods of getting it to work, and they don't work on cm7. It also, not that great of launcher, it just has two great widgets on it.

What's the best Rom to save Ram
I'm on miui usually I have 70-110 ram free
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
Its not so much as you need a different rom as you should try stopping startup apps. I use autorun manger app and optimize toolbox. Download off the market and if you got root you can stop system apps like gmail and google maps from starting up when y0u arnt useing them. Optimize tool box has a task killer and a startup manager i disable everything in there except autorun manager. Autorun manager on the other hand i disable everythin except like android os and other important stuff like that. With the pro version if you have root you can stop the recivers which helps alot. Another app if you have root is fast reboot pro, which is another very good one to have. Try not to use widgets they take up ram as well. Using those meathods i manage to get my ram down to about 117 mb used, which is just over 200mb free. I hope this helps.

Dark night is a rom but that is what they are using as a stock launcher for the rom

Good afternoon to you all here at XDA,
Until recent I have had no problems with any on my devices when it comes to exploiting and unlocking them but today I started to play around with my girlfriends KFHD and have now run into a few snags.
For now I would like to focus on the Home key function.
I have just installed ADW Launcher EX and after setting it all up, discovered that the home key just takes me back to the stock Kindle Home screen. Is there anyway in which I can set my home key to be default to ADW rather than stock so it will load my ADW's default screen?
Side note: I know you can use Go Launcher EX which I use with my phone but I don't fancy messing around, adding this app to the system folders and the device has a locked bootloader and not mine.
Any help is much appreciated,
Thanks for your time,
Madrox.
I believe the device needs to be rooted. So you can convert the launchers apk file to a system app.
Once it's a system app, you can set it as the default launcher and the home button will work like you want it to.

Thanks for that,
The device is rooted and everything is unlocked and ready to go apart from the Bootloader.
I have seen the /system/app approach but do not want to try it as I cant find out if it is safe on 7.2.2. I've only seen this done on earlier versions and as said device is not mine and I have no Factory Cable, I won't be trying that just yet.

I just set ADW Launcher as systam App with 7.2.2. I had to : as user app it wasn't working at all, All seems to be all right with my tablet. Only, I can' t use widgets and wallpapers - don't know why - while with 7.1.2 they worked perfectly.
Hope to be of some reassurance for you
Tested with GO Launcher EX 3.13 after reading other posts. After messing around half the day with other things, I never actually noticed this post was similar to another about Launchers so this is now a closed matter.

I haven't tried their keyboard in a while, but I didn't remember freezing issues. Assuming we can eventually get something like sms working, wonder which keyboard - if any - would really be practical for a watch. If not Fleksy - wondering about Minuum or Snapkeys or Flit or something.

when searching in ES File Manager I use google keyboard and its working great so far. I cannot wait for my Omate TrueSmart to arrive, hopefully it will have a perfectly running fleksy keyboard that we can pull from the watch and run on the Gear.
On another note, I got the Fleksy keyboard loaded on the watch, but am having a hard time enabling it, there is no true Android Settings on the watch to change input.
Going to play around with ES File Manager and see if I can manually set it keyboard.
I tried smart launcher briefly, but ended up going with nova and deleted SL.
I have used Nova Prime forever in my phones (after trying every launcher available including the ridiculously overpriced POS Next Launcher)
I decided Nova was the best launcher for the gear watch also.

Well. I use the stock TW launcher for everyday use as I like the clocks etc. you get from TW.
I switch to Nova when I will be doing more app switching......
So far I've tried Apex, GO, Nova, ADW, and Smart Launchers, and I'll be sticking with Smart. It's the only one that keeps the clock on the home screen. Loaded UP Icons as well and have been using those.
Now if only I could figure out how to get the Pro version of Smart Launcher on the Gear. I purchased Pro for my Note 3, but can only export the Smart Launcher Pro folder from the Note 3, and can't drop that back into the Gear. Any ideas? Would like to toy around with some of the features (mainly the other color options).
