Wrong section

It's for themes, so why u also post that ROM here :confused:
[Desire Themes and Apps] cr1960:
nice smooth ROM - only problem is that the hiapk settings app is in Chinese, so a lot of the customisation is unavailable to English speaking types like me.

same with the hiapk market - might be great, but I can't understand the writing.

everything else works fine under English language settings.

the hiapk dialer looks really good, and people who miss the Sense dialer should look at ripping it out of this ROM and installing it in whatever they are using now.

maybe a mod can move this into the development section where it belongs?
[Desire Themes and Apps] parsvbulletin:
Wrong section.you must put in dev section.

[HTC Inspire 4G] brian85:
That is so pathetic. Just another reason to hate that company.

Anyway...my friend just got an inspire and is new to android. I'm just helping with the phone (I have a verizon android phone) and realized that AT&T finds someway to screw with consumers again. So, is there a way to get around this and install non market apps?
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
You can use sideload wonder machine http://forum.androidcentral.com/android-sideload-wonder-machine/

Or root the phone and load a custom ROM that has non market apps enabled
[HTC Inspire 4G] projekt1:
the sideload wonder machine method is sipmple the only drawback is that the apps wont receive updates like they would from the market, if I'm not mistaken.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
Also if I remember correctly if the app is to big for side load wonder machine, you can use adb push. There are always work arounds.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Roland_D:
That's why it's such a sweet feeling when you uninstall their application through TiBu........ :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] tribalartgod:
You can also consider rooting the device. I did mine with no issues at all. It's VERY easy, just time consuming. From start to finish, took me about 35 minutes. I already had EVERYTHING I needed to do this though, including the ROM I wanted.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
Congratulations on finally getting it man.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Indeed. Buh-bye bloat. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] MatUK.8:
I am interested to know what apps are good that aren't on the marketplace. I would like to find some other cool stuff I can put on this phone. I put swype on and that was fun to side load. Would like to do some other stuff. Inform me please.
[HTC Inspire 4G] moe3754:
You want good go to Amazon App store, in the past few days I got a full version of Shazam and then SoundHound. Both have full unlimited use with no expiration, also if you change rom's you can redownload them from your account for as long as you have the account. They give away a full paid app everyday on there.

Has anyone tried out thus new launcher yet? It looks really cool but for 14.95 I dont think it's worth it. What for you all think?

Sent From My Evo Killer!
[Epic 4G Themes] 063_XOBX:
All the reviews so far have been that at 14.95 its DOA, it doesn't offer any features that other cheaper or free launchers don't.

[Epic 4G Themes] running_the_dream:
$15 for a launcher is outrageous. That thing better come with a PS3 emulator and God of War 3!
[Epic 4G Themes] usagi111:
I had a cracked version of it...first impressions DO blow you away, the 3D home screens are fluid, smooth, colorfull, and there's PLENTY of them (more than 7, I believe...), they can be put in any order, be labeled, etc... There's no app drawer thou, all the apps have to be out there and you just cycle through them. The widgets included blow ALL the other launchers away (as someone who is TouchWiz biased and treasures the Program Monitor Widget that is an major statement...) In the beginning I was all-in and felt it MIGHT be worth at least 9.95 (but 15 is a bit much...), BUT after a week...it started crashing a lot (It takes up LOTS of internal memory, we're talking 115mb available for other stuff!) and I got fustrated and ditched it.

Bottom line, if it's been fixed and improved, it could be worth the money, but I wouldn't fork over 15 bucks for it yet...wait for a sale...

It's will definately change how you look at other launchers after you've had a taste.
[Epic 4G Themes] zetterwing:
Good info. I was actually thinking about throwing down the $$ to check it out but I'll wait now. 15$ is a bit steep unless it is getting rave reviews from everyone. Sticking with LP.
[Epic 4G Themes] burshturs:
Version 1.0.1 works great in my x10. It does have a launcher now.
[Epic 4G Themes] midnighttoker:
Just tried the cracked version after seeing this post. It's impressive, but i would never pay $15 for a launcher. If the price gets cut in half I'll be all over it.
[Epic 4G Themes] JungleJiujitsu:
Did you have to change any phone settings to get it to work? I also have a cracked version of it but when I select it from the launcher menu(from hitting the home button)it does nothing, it just goes blank and then boots into launcher pro instead.
[Epic 4G Themes] usagi111:
A crack-fix was finally developed...I had the earlier version too which didn't work, but then a newer cracked version came out and it worked fine, as far as I know, I never had to change any of the phone settings when I had it on my phone.
[Epic 4G Themes] theparanoid:
There is an ap drawer. Mine had the follow links on bottom of screen

Phone, Messaging, There page changer, Internet and App Drawer.

So far I have to agree some of the widgets are better then others I have come across. However one major feature I find missing that was in all the reviews was the "Turn any app into a widget" Of course those reviews all had the produced labeled as Mobile Shell 5.

Currently after about 24 hours at 7.7mb and 58MB for SPB Shell memory usage.

Overall it to early to tell. However I have used SPB mobile shell for Windows Mobile for several years.
[Epic 4G Themes] usagi111:
Hmmmm, Jus put on the latest cracked one, and it does have an app drawer NOW...the earlier releases didn't, this latest version is an improvement, but just like in the reviews mentioned, the restrictions on where apps can be put now is a headache, the other version, you could put apps anywhere due to no app drawer, I guess...Meh, imma play with this a lil while longer and see if its worth is...i'm sure the crack wont last, I've already seeing messages about market not verfying the purchase...

Update: After checking out the new version for an hour, I've had 3 FC's in which I had to pull the battery out. It might be accounted to ACS's New Frozen 1.1.0 ROM, which has been buggy in itself, but...if anyone has a stock rom, this might run a little better, or it might not...Still needs some work. I would wait, like I said for a sale, or more improvements...
[Epic 4G Themes] musclehead84:
Thanks for the insight on it. I've never ran it before. I would definitely like to try it but I don't want to dish 15 bucks if I don't like it. The return foe the market is only 15 mins. Maybe it will go on sale soon.

[Epic 4G Themes] MysteryEmotionz:
I'm liking it so far. It needs some polishing but I can't justify spending $15. $10 the most
[Epic 4G Themes] jsheahawk:
I played with it, and it's pretty, but I still think the beautiful simplicity of LauncherPro still beats it out. The scrollable dock is what keeps me with LP.

And what is this...Apple? $15 for an app???
[Epic 4G Themes] sm_x:
Tried it. If it was any cheaper I would buy it. Great eye candy better than any launcher any phone maker makes. Not for those who love simple interface.
[Epic 4G Themes] electronicmaji:
I downloaded it and demoed it for 15 minutes before refundning.

I found it nearly useless. A couple of the thins that are included are not available anywhere else but they are almost so pointless that I can't image a point in using them.

App folders that take up half the screen over just launching the app browser? Yeah...no.

The 3D carousel view is cool but ultimately useless I don't see any reason to use it over swiping from one homescreen to the next.

Frankly if there was something like it for OPEN apps, it would be ****ing awesome and a must have.

This? I can't get pretty much the same effect from Go Launcher.
[Epic 4G Themes] jeffyv2:
Nice review I pretty much think the same bout this
[Epic 4G Themes] JungleJiujitsu:
True that, the update worked... needs some work but theres definitely some potential, am sticking to LP in the meantime!

SPB Shell 3D

I just bought and installed the SPB Shell 3D Launcher app. Not bad! The 3D effects are awesome, and it has some great Widgets. It was a little expensive, but I just couldn't resist buying it. Has anyone else gotten this? what do you think about it?
[Epic 4G Themes] Quis89:
Tried it and would have been upset if I would have paid 15 bucks for it...

It got old and boring after a while. It looks pretty but it doesn't offer the same instant functionality of the original homescreen or adw or launcherpro.
[Epic 4G Themes] mpscmedic:
I think that future updates will keep this app fresh. I am going to use it for a couple more days at least.
[Epic 4G Themes] maghloubi:
If you had done your homework...your able to get every app for free if ur rooted and have system panel installed to archive the apk....the market allows u to refund one time only after you first installed the app...so you can do it with any app till u fill ur sdcard full (like me)....thats how u get free apps.....can you please upload it spb?
[Epic 4G Themes] birdheh:
Pay for it if you want it

If you want it for free stick to the free apps, don't destroy it for all developers by ripping them off. It is not like the old days when programs where more expensive than today's computers. You most likely spend more for lunch than this.
[Epic 4G Themes] souless poet:
If and when it allows scrollable Widgets then I will be interested.
[Epic 4G Themes] jct522:
I actually fiddled around with this launcher today on my buddies EVO. It does have some eye candy but just like everyone said it is lacking a few things. The ability to not be able to decide where your icons go is annoying. He mentioned a good amount of FC as well. So I would agree that it is way overpriced for something that isn't even remotely stable at this point. I'm sure all of us at one point in time have had crashes with LP but im with most of you where im going to stay with LP until this one possibly comes down in price or gets a little more stable.
[Epic 4G Themes] konaman:
I tried it and loved it. No problems for me and I'm running viper rom synergy with 1.0 genocide kernal at 1400mhz.

I'm gonna use it more after I get off work and do a better test.
[Epic 4G Themes] formula84:
I bought it, I used it in WM days it was $30 back then, now its $15 for Android I know its steep but this has an entire company backing it rather than one developer. It can only get better. I have already purchased Launcher Pro, ADW EX, and now this all have features I wish I could combine... I am sure overtime it will get better though.

One of my favorite things is the folder widgets they are slick. I wish they offered more customization with the bottom bar, and also added ability to customize the APP Drawer. We will see in time. It is far heavier on Ram than it should be though.
[Epic 4G Themes] OperationMove:
I bought it.... why? The reasoning being that I know SPB is a reliable company with dedicated developers, and they've been around for a while. Also there is always appeal in having a TEAM of developers on a project rather than just one or two guys. So I expect that it will get alot better with age. It's still very new...

Oh and those that complain about it being $15? It's probably not even close to worth 15 bucks yet, but I feel that it will be in the future after alot of testing on android/optimizing/etc. I also know WM SPB shell used to be 29.99 if I remember correctly, so it could be worse!

Definitly keep your eyes peeled for this thing to blow up as time progresses. It already has alot of potential, but it needs options like "Hide notification bar" or ability to change the app drawer to a different style. Also being able to arrange widgets how you want to and not have it suck up all the empty space automatically squishing everything together would be nice too. Oh well in due time, hopefully they read this.
[Epic 4G Themes] ghostrid3r:
SPB 3D shell was fun to play with for about 3mins. Then I returned to TWlauncher. :p
[Epic 4G Themes] burnnhell:
I decided to give it a shot also. It's actually pretty nice. Lots of eye candy, reminds me alot of htc sense. I would say for a change from the normal tw launcher/adw/lp it is fun. Seeing how much it will drain the battery right now.
[Epic 4G Themes] 9kracing:

I liked it. I think I am going to use it as my daily launcher for a little while. I think it has great potential; it's still a little too new at the moment. We'll see how it turns out. It's really nice, though, in my opinion.
[Epic 4G Themes] JERZIE82:
Hey

Wow honestly 15 bucks for that not worth it, I have seen many better :) just saying, not trying to down someone

Merged related threads.
[Epic 4G Themes] SladeNoctis:
Well you should tell that to all the Winmo users that paid $30 for it. While it is expensive its actually quiet cheap for the team behind this launcher. You have to remember this is a company with developers backing it up completely while other launchers are just with a few people. The only launcher that comes close to the dev size of SPB is GO Dev. Currently feature wise it doesn't have the standard that all the launchers have but it does show one thing other launchers cant pull. That its software is coded so nicely that phones that can't even handle basic games can run a deeply graphical launcher. So just imagine the coding this launcher will get when it updates. And SPB does back up there products especially the Shell lines with Winmo having support for almost 4 years thats even after everybody started avoiding Winmo unless it was the HD2.
[Epic 4G Themes] musclehead84:
Anyone notice any excessive battery drain from using it? I like it as it does remind me of sense in a way and sense is my favorite ui. I agree it does need some more customizations. I think it will only get better and you never know the price just might go up in a little while.

Little battery drain...but really good

Sent from my Samsung Epic
[Epic 4G Themes] OperationMove:
Battery drain doesn't seem any worse than using a live wallpaper on LP/ADW Ex. after having it running for 2-3 days.

One problem Ive been having though, even as a legit, paid user, has been that it will completely freeze until a vibration/reboot happens. Then when it starts up again, it freezes at lock screen, then after restarting a 2nd time, it works and loads fine. Odd... but it's reproduced itself in that exact order 3-4 times in the past few days since release. Still needs some work but very sexy.
[Epic 4G Themes] alioto1:
Sorry for that.

That's wares and a violation of XDA rules.
[Epic 4G Themes] gpeterson:
Most recent version seems to eat up a lot of memory and gets really laggy at times, but at other times it's very smooth and fast. The included widgets aren't terrible, but the weather widget is limited to major cities only (and shows a moon for weather conditions...at lunch time), and the favorite contacts widget is a real slouch in configurability. Overall, this appears to be eye candy more than anything. My suggestion...wait for it to come out on netflix.
[Epic 4G Themes] epicslam:
after a clean clear storage and formatting the transflash and clearing cache this program casused my phone to reboot time after time, other times after a clean install it would just do nothing show a blank black screen.... this program is..... want my money back.... and they are a russian company..... mafia i guess
[Epic 4G Themes] volkly:
tried it for 2 minutes, overall i didn't like the feel of it and the lack of customization is what made me return it. The weather app is really cool tho, but it just seems like other launchers with widget addons, 15 bucks is pretty expensive and i feel its not worth the price.
[Epic 4G Themes] Tirregius:
Pleased with it so far. I like the accelerated app drawer. Really looks killer and its not a gimmick at all. The 3d view is very nice for seeing all of your screens and is quite quick to navigate around. Handles a lot of screens with ease. Has not been particularly bad on battery life.

Leaving it idling on the 3d view makes for a killer demo.
[Epic 4G Themes] HelloM0f0:
I tried it and returned it. Like everyone else said it looks really cool for the first 5 mins but once you get past that you realize it doesn't do anything to justify the cost.

Also, I don't remember where I read this but someone commented on the whole ui being vista-y which I agree with...too flashy imo with all the transparency and such.
[Epic 4G Themes] DCRocks:
I got it for my Epic and really liked it, but I go back and forth between it and LP.

Installed it on my GF's phone (I use my google account for all my phones, so I get all my apps on them) and it is BY FAR her FAV upgrade. She shows it off all the time to her friends, and it really makes her phone stand apart from all the others.

It may not be all that to advanced techie types, but to the basic "iPhone" type user, it really gives a great look and feel that no other launcher does.

The Cal and Contact features are cool, and the overall feel is very smooth. She even has one pane with 4 picture frames in it set as the home screen (a nice feature the other launches don't seem to offer)

Worth $15... eh... guess that depends on your POV

Overall, pleased with the app, happy that with it on 3 phones it was only $5 each. If the price drops a bit, would be a great value, at $15, its just a bit overpriced, but the app itself is well done, at least IMO.

Add in the size of the dev team, and hopefully even better things are coming down the road

Only thing I DON'T like, is no LWP with this launcher (notes say due to performance issues)
[Epic 4G Themes] omair2005:
I've used Spb on and off since its launch. I keep finding myself going back to GoLauncherEX.

Spb could use the following improvements:

- Empty space widget to space some items out on home screen

- Better integration of folders

- Less memory usage

Seems to me EVO3D has a sense version of SPB shell....

I liked it for a few seconds, I'm either touchwiz and golauncher
[Epic 4G Themes] Paiyne:
I tried a few of the cracked versions and had many issues with them. I have used Spb Mobile Shell in the past with windows mobile and have been a huge fan of this product so I went ahead and purchased it. I absolutely love it. Only issue I have is finding a way to make it fit into the many different themes that I use. I wish there were more widgets but I'm sure that will be addressed in updates.
[Epic 4G Themes] DCRocks:
My GF is running this on her EVO, and thinks it is the best thing to ever happen to a cell phone

Fully modded, lots of extras, themed and all that, yet it is the launcher she raves about the most, and that she shows off to all her friends to make them jealous ( most of her GFs run stock EVOs and they all rave over how her EVO looks)

Worth $15, meh... but as far as eye candy, it is fully loaded

She loves the animated widgets, and the carousel actions

I tried it but went back to ADW, as I like a much more clear setup, while my GF loves all the stuff on her home screens.

It groups stuff really well, (at least in her view) and even has a panel where you can set 4 pics up on one of the home screens.

Overall, it has been really stable, no major issues, and is the only app that my GF has mandated

must

go back on her EVO when get around to updating to 2.3

IMO, not the best if you are a techie, and like to mod and customize to the hilt, but for what you would consider an iPhone user on an Android phone, it is the cats meow!
[Epic 4G Themes] MikeyLee:
I dont think this product is work $15 and from what I have read and heard from others, the company's support is absolutely terrible and updates are extremely scarce. As far as 3D goes, Regina Launcher is getting alot smoother but I'm more of a GoLauncher person mainly because of the themes available.
[Epic 4G Themes] il buono:
Definitely not worth the money and the updates are scarce and lame. Even though it looks nice, it is unstable and takes up more than twice the RAM of what ADW uses. Constant force closes on my Epic has led me to dump it and return to the reliable ADW launcher
[Epic 4G Themes] Devi0124:
I have been using it for a about 6 months... ran the cracked versions first just to play with since there is no trial version... liked it and bought it. 15 is quite a bit but at the same time its a completely different ui than anything else out. A lot like a having a new phone. I have not experienced the force close issues and I flash roms constantly. Try a cracked version first to get a feel for it. Disclaimer: I'm not promoting pirated apps but you can't pay 15 bucks for an app and expect to dig in to it in 15 minutes or less in order to refund.

I am just so confused. What should i do? No button combination works, and holding down all three buttons just causes the screen to reboot until i let go. I can only hope to god that its not bricked. Any advice would be just great.
