I was wondering if anyone has tryed this launcher I stumbled across today and how they like it.

The official page for it is right HERE. To find it, search "SPB Shell 3D". But the only downside is that it's $14.95 and it looks like it eats alot of RAM...

Attached are some pictures I have running it on my Shift.

I tried it beta - before it was publicly released. It was very nice, but I wouldn't pay 15 bucks for it. If memory serves me - it used to be 30+
[EVO Shift 4G General] Caiaphas:
I was considering buying it, but couldn't find a trial or anything. I'm pretty content with it and more than likely going to buy it soon.

If you like this, but want better and free, download Regina Launcher from the market. Pronounced Reh-Gee-Nah.

I was involved in the HD2 forum before Android on SD was a wild spert from a dev. and the community over there needs no words of compliment (it is a given) that they are awesome.

Then I traveled on to the G2 forum where the contributions there were amazing as well.

The Question:

Is the Samsung Galaxy S 4G community the WORST anyone else has had the misfortune of dealing with as well?

From:

Jumping ship and advertising other handsets

To: Opening the most rediculous threads Only to lead another person on.

And: acting like IPhone users.

Yes this certainly comes across as a rant , AND I expect to get Flamed from those who are true to XDA and the XDA Community. BUT I really need to know.... Is it me? or does this little SG4G Community Suck?

.

..

...

....

.....

I must say I was really expecting a bunch of crap, BUT. You have enlightened me. So far I have gotten a good chuckle and understand a little more about the issues. Thank you XDA peeps... But keep it coming...

Maybe this would be a good thread for the Venting, to avoid other space from getting clogged up.

And btw , one of the poll of the OP being a dumbass was my vote LMAO:cool:

Srsly, please, just don't....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xsteven77x:
Yes I agree with the original poster. I had this phone for about a week before I returned it because of the aforementioned reasons with this forum. Even offered to send my phone to a dev but got nothing but f'd up attitude from most everyone involved (besides the dev)! If I'm gonna have an android I want a community surrounding it that does not spend all day "DER DER #$% this is in the wrong forum, we have nothing else better to do but ***** @ everyone for attempting to get this community started!"

On a personal note, it sucked extra cause I had just sold my vibrant shortly before the 4g release cause that community also had seen its downfall in the past few months itself. Came over here to see this fledgling little group trying to get off the ground but not being in any way at all welcoming to any real thought provoking conversation. How dare we ask questions and talk about our phone!

As awesome as a phone as this is, it just does not appear that its ever gonna be a dev phone. Wish the opposite was the truth. Samsung is partly to blame for that also.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nwpro3:
From what I've observed, there are a bunch of good people here and a few flakes. I believe it will get better as time goes on.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Yogi3:
Did someone say iPhone ... lol... oh no so that's why Apple is suing Samsung ... :p we copying not only their phone but the owners attitudes as well... lol...

I'm just joking, trying to lighten the mood...

Back to the subject I think what affected this phone was that it came out too late after the Nexus S and too close to the G2x... I think if it had the extra space of the Vibrant we would be as good as that community ... or if it ran gingerbread ... but oh well... we do have less issues than the lather phone I mention... :p
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] golmar88:
+1

I think it's just a few who think themselves "forum police". I honestly hope this doesn't turn into the "vibrant" forum's. Please TRY, I know it's hard at times, to be friendly to ANY one. New to old, dumba$$'s to dev's, try to treat them all as you would want to be treated (except for you self deprecating, masochist's ;) ).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] C0dy:
I always see everyone complaining about the Vibrant forum, I don't really see anything wrong with it. Or was it something that happened in the past?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] joedeveloper:
I dunno, I'm technically savvy. I did alot on my G1 in terms of mod'ing. Google Experience phones are designed for that.

Anytime you get a phone with a customized rom though things change up a bit. Hence, the G2x is gonna get alot more in the community because it's a fairly stock build/experience.

I knew this when I bought the SGS4G. I like the screen (amoled), the speed etc. I'll probably get the urge to do some heavy mod'ing at some point, but for now I'm happy.

That's just me.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] j3.cole:
Sure this was a bit of a rant and like most could have been titled a little better. BUT atleast its not in the dev area. If this community keeps being stupid, can Mr. Clown close the whole thing, I don't want him too! But dumb asses keep creating thread that had answee before sgs4g even existed. Hence the sgs4g deal in the vibrant, I mean its not even a question when the answer was where they looked to create thier feeble attempt to go around krylon. Man give him a break! ****!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] j3.cole:
Wow, back for less than a few hours and HOLY HELL, it went from bad to worse, Now I have to figure a way out of this phone again!!! My Fiancee was content with it but she is a regular phone user. What the hell was I thinking? I don't usually troll, but **** even the **** I read from the devs over here is ridiculous. Short vauge descriptions of what to do, and the arrogance is tick as hell.

I guess the real xda-developers knew better, thats why they stick with htc.

I expect some flames and I already know who it will be coming from, just reading a few posts.

I introduced a few people to xda and sadly enough ones first experience was here is this so called community and I now understand why he gave up. And what happened to the only worth while dev (as far as I can tell) Krylon. HE WAS A REAL XDA DEVELOPER.

Once again currently using the POSGS-4g

I love my Galaxy and I am enjoying the community so far... just my thoughts on the matter...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
what issues are you having and sorry you feel as if the rest of the devs other then krylon dont meet your expectations.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
I don't get it. What problems are you having with the phone? Why are you complaining about the community? If it's a problem, there are plenty of other forums on this phone (rootzwiki is pretty popular nowadays :) ). I get that it's frustrating sometimes. I get frustrated too, but please don't project that thought to the entire community. I help out here and there and I get flamed from the very people I help. But one again, let's just calm down. If you guys have an issue with the phone, just search and then post about it. I usually answer my pm's...as quite a few of you already know...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] htaak:
I can only judge it by what I have gotten out of it.....currently my SGS4G runs faster, cooler, and stays charged longer than stock. The audio is better, I'm running GB and I got my choice of 9 lock-screens etc, etc....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] j3.cole:
Ok, back to the drawing board!

I feel like such a dueche, I was really tired and my expectations were very high! I wasn't ready for any challenges and got very frustrated.

I only woke up this morning to see a kind friendly community among the SGS4G crowd. I guess I got spoiled over on the HTC side again.

My issues are that I feel like I am back at square one... Example: Flashing an EXT4, the only thing I could find was a universal zip for another phone which did not work. I really just need to put some time back into this like a noob again.

Once more I apologize and might just need to delete this thread for the sake of y'all being so nice... Uhg I feel like such an ass lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mike-y:
lol dude, just take your time. I'm fairly new here myself, and don't find it all that bad. There are lots of guides out now to help you get through flashing a new rom, and there is always someone who is willing to help (I see Jager, FB, dsexton, and Raver in here a lot helping out people).

Anyway, just spend some time reading about the ROMs we have in the dev section now, and find one you like.

btw, getting ext4 on froyo is as easy as flashing the bali kernel in cwm. works great with any froyo rom (including stock). GB roms tend to be a bit tricky, but you'll get it if you follow one of the guides.

Put it this way, my SGS4g, NOT overclocked is running 3X faster than it did stock (according to quadrant) on one of the new crop of GB roms that are out now and is currently on 25 hours of uptime with 65% battery left.

and in case you haven't seen it yet, this thread is gold:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
What ROM are you trying to flash? I am currently on bionix frost and I love it completely. Runs on par with the GB roms. If you want some GB, look into icbinb GB or whitehaks new ROM. But let us know what you want to do and we can point you in the right direction...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] j3.cole:
Well I finally realized my Current Problem.... Ego and Pride, I so felt like I had put in time to not have to ask for help. So I shall read up, and quit acting like a spoiled noob. Now that therapy is over LOL, time to read. But I will reach out to y'all next time instead of the temper tantrum. Thank you for being extremely Cool.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
We're all here to help each other, just that we sometimes get annoyed of the same questions that are asked on the same pages (mostly from the people who don't ever bother searching).

Aside from that, this community has plenty of good people. :D

Have fun here! Just keep in mind that flashing on this phone is completely different from others!

Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Yea. No ROM manager
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pudgybunnyBry:
Welcome back to the phone and community. We are always happy to accept new users, and to help them. While we're happy to help, there are only so many times you can answer the same question before becoming a little irritated by it. People just need to realize that the search function is in place to benefit the users, all users. There is also what Jagger mentions, sometimes you end up being flamed by the very people you try to help. This is also upsetting.

I am a big fan of the "treat others as you would like to be" saying.

Does anyone notice well im sure you notice but why are Apple Games sooooo much better than Android games i mean seriously its ridiculous. They look better, perform better just an overall better gaming device. Im not willing to leave my Evo or better yet Android fir this it just bothers me and im curious.....:confused:
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Because they are realizing all that device is good for is games and iTunes.

/sarcasm.... Sort of

Sent from my spaceship!
[EVO 4G General] jgalan14:
Well yeah they are better but they hard to play sometimes cause of the Damn screen is too small(iPhone user as well) plus there are some expensive as games in Ios, another reason y is because is easier to develop for on device only , same specs as well, Android got all sort of devices and they usually lag in feature/Android phones the EVO might capable of but no al devices will, that's why epic games might not make Android games right now but probably in the future , there are some decent games on Android now tho, the we didn't have before , hopefully developers start deveploping more games for Android tho
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
The Apple Apps in general just blow the Android Apps away IMO. I love android, but, they are seriously behind. I never even open my market anymore because it's full of junk.

That said, I agree with the guy above me. One major reason is it is much easier to develop for IOS and one set of hardware than it is with Android. Some of the Android phones are serious garbage (I'm looking at you Samsung Acclaim!) and should never have been released.
[EVO 4G General] rdavis3052:
Is it bad I wifi tether my Evo to play games on my Ipod, i.e. Words with Friends? I've played it on my Evo, and it's not as smooth. Yes, I'm one of those people that carry 2 devices. I'm not willing to sacrifice a fully customizable OS for a generic one. I give it to Apple for having some good games. BTW has anyone tried Towerbloxx for android? It's like comparing Atari to PS3. Android got the raw end on that deal, as well as many other ports.
[EVO 4G General] bballer71418:
I agree its the same reason Google had to wait to include hardware acceleration because not all phones are capable of it...with the next update hopefully this summer we should see much better phones (the evo is already better then any iPhone :p) as well as a better environment for app developers and users..
[EVO 4G General] theboz1419:
I too, always have my Ipod touch to tether to the EVO.

Also something i noticed while playing games on both the Glass itsself feels different. Ipod has a feel i like and the EVO's screen i cant feel it as much. And that little difference to me helps to control games better on the ipod.
[EVO 4G General] nabbed:
How important are games?

I use my phone for business and pleasure, but I don't really play games.

I have a top-of-the-line pc for games, at home...
[EVO 4G General] david black:
I prefer the feel of my Evo's glass to that of my iPod.
[EVO 4G General] david black:
How about N64oid and Tiger GBA? You don't even have to root to use emulators on Android but you have to jailbreak and jump through other various hoops to emulate on iOS. My favorite game on my phone is Mario 64.

:)
[EVO 4G General] westicle:
Games are important enough that the android market is split into 2 sections......apps and GAMES....

Apparently they can be a good source of income for developers, and a great way to pass time....

I use my phone for business and pleasure as well....but I also have a top of the line phone with a huge screen for games and movies.
[EVO 4G General] Ryjabo:
I have played the Angry Birds games, but I don't even have them installed anymore. The only game on my EVO right now is Wordfeud (addicted!).

[EVO 4G General] E_Money915:
IOS has some pretty dope ass games but i just hate carrying it around all the time so i just stick to my evo but i do wish some of the games on apple would be on android i mean it took months for tap tap 4 to come to android and thats like the only game i really really wanted on the android thats on apples line of games...IOS games are fun but the iPhone is WAY too mainstream for me the evo is a mainstream device but its less mainstream than the iphone so im good haha
[EVO 4G General] strung:
Because iOS has real-time low-latency audio (sub 1ms). Android does not.

This is why you see virtual pianos, keyboards, synthesizers, multitrack recording studios, and other music production software only on iOS.
[EVO 4G General] E_Money915:
how well does the N64oid run? i know the GBA, NES, and PSX emulators run pretty smooth
[EVO 4G General] gman8966:
For gaming, android cannot hold a candle to IOS games. I've had iphones before and now the Evo, and while the Evo is a very nice phone, it just can't compete app wise. The market really is a joke, way too much crap on there. Google just needs to enable hardware acceleration, my iphone 2g had that 4 years ago.
[EVO 4G General] r916:
Hell the only games I play are Angry Birds, Brick Breaker (not as good at blackberry's but it's still fun), Tetris, Live Holdem Pro, MX Moto and emulator's (mostly gameboid) and my evo does perfectly fine never lags, I played Gun bro's and it didn't lag at all, I don't know why it's such a big deal, I'd rather play graphic intensive games on either the 55" or 40" not a 4.3 lol.

And even on trips when I'm not driving I just bring my laptop or play games like above, I don't see why gaming on a phone is soo important, hell I was stoked back in the day with Snake on all my Nokia's and Brick Breaker on my Blackberry's so games def. don't make my decision weather or not to buy a certain phone.
[EVO 4G General] starplaya93:
Can somebody please explain what you guys are talking about?

We have 3 versions of angry birds all of which are free on android yet you have to pay for on ios. We have speedx3d, haypi kingom, mini squadron, gun bros, pew pew, a handful of excellent poker apps, alchemy, robo defense, fruit ninja, Game Dev story... and the list goes on and on and on.

Sure we don't have as many polished games as ios but you have to take in to account how long ios has been out compared to android...Nonetheless we have more than enough games to satisfy just about most peoples preferences and if you're not happy now then you will never be happy with what android has to offer.

That's not true at all a lot of people are more than happy whit whut Android offers...its just the games needs an upgrade...and all of em need SD card options
[EVO 4G General] cnstarz:
ipod touch games are tailored specifically for the apple hardware and ios. it's like comparing console games to pc games. console games (95% of the time) run smoother on consoles because they're made specifically for consoles and created to take advantage of everything the console has to offer. pc games have to run on a plethora of different hardware and software platforms.

Folks,

I started a download via the built in browser. The download was aborted but the zoom is still trying to start the download. Basically, I have the "down arrow" and hashed progress bar permanently in my status bar,

Any ideas how to kill it off? I've already reboot the device.

Thanks, Jason

Err factory reset is an option... :-(

[Eee Pad Transformer General] tineras:
I apologize in advance because this topic has probably been beaten to death. I am still a bit confused on how internal and external memory are handled in Honeycomb. A lot of the info I've read applies to non-Honeycomb releases. I'll just start with some basic questions.

1. Is external memory treated differently than internal memory?

2. Can you install apps in either location and expect them to perform/behave the same?

3. Can you place data (docs, music, videos) in either location and expect them to perform/behave the same?

This is all leading to my real concern:

4. If I get a Transformer with 16GB internal and purchase a 32GB micro SD card, will all of that memory be usable without caveats? In other words, can I just install apps or load data in either location without having to worry about things having to be in one place or the other?

Again, I apologize if this a repeat. There just doesn't seem to be a lot of data regarding Honeycomb and external memory. That or it is difficult to find because of the overly common key words used when searching on this topic.

EDIT: If there are any links already explaining this, I will gladly read them and just let this thread die.

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer General] donatom3:
One important thing to note is that the internal memory is always going to be faster than external. My suggestion is keep apps on internal memory and use the external memory for your pictures, videos, and music.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stcardinal:
You can actually get away with smaller apps on a microsd card. Just remember to get a class 6 or higher.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] combat goofwing:
My plan is to have 16 gig internal

32 micro SD in the tablet

32 gig SD in the keyboard dock

LEEDROID DESIRE HD using XDA PREMIUM
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rothnic:
This has been a problem since the beginning of android tablets.

Most phones come with an external sdcard when you buy them. So, the internal memory gets mounted at /emmc, and external at /sdcard.

Since tablets do not come with one(and internal is rather large), internal is mounted at /sdcard. Then external would be mounted at /sdcard2, then /sdcard3 i assume for the transformer dock.

The key thing is whether or not the mediaprovider service for android is modified by asus to scan those extra locations. If not, then only media on /sdcard will be recognized.

It looks like the custom xoom kernel work gets around this by mounting /sdcard2 within /sdcard. (/sdcard/sdcard2) This allows the media to be seen on both, but can cause issues with mounting, etc.

I'm not sure how Asus is handling this, but it has been an issue all along.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] coachclass:
Actually, I don't think it's a dumb question. I'm still wondering the same thing. What are the implications of installing stuff on the microSD?
