[Android General] jpkelly05:
So I have been using this since 2/29/2012. Here is my take on version 1.3.2. I wrote this in mind of those who may want to try this but aren't sure if they want to spend $17 (US). My only minor complaint I have is the speed of the folders closing and opening. Sometimes I feel like I am just waiting, but the simple fact of being able to open a folder (I named), to find an App I know is in there, is pure brilliance and that's why I like TSF Shell.

It is wonderful but slow at the same time. I tried going back a regular Launcher and well... I don't like them either. I wish I could mix the two types or just have folders in GoLauncher or any other launcher like that. So I am back to this.

I use one screen all the time and only switch screens every once in awhile.

(There are 5 screens in TSF Shell - 1 for All Apps and 4 for customizing how ever you like.

On my main screen I have 6 folders that I can name, two widgets and an App.

-The Home button does not bring you to any screen, as a matter of fact when you are on a screen - Home button does nothing. A long press of the Home button gets you the Task manager and recently opened Apps.

(Name a folder by double tapping on the folder name in the opened view)

My first folder is named "Stuff I use a lot" and it contains:

-Dolphin -Gmail -Voicemail -Hotspot -tipme -inkpad -trapster -camera -maps -inrix

I could add two more Apps to this folder if I wanted to.

My 2nd folder on this page I have "Entertainment", it contains:

-Youtube -Gem mine -unblockme -catpiano -mixology -angry birds -music -netflix -facebook

I can add two more Apps to this page as well if I wanted.

I am not going to say what is in all my other folders because I think you all get the point. But you can have the same App in different folders.

3rd folder is "work crap".

4th folder is "Office stuff"

5th folder is "Android Dev stuff"

6th folder is "pic stuff"

Also on this page is a Pandora and Flashlight widget and the Pandora App shortcut.

With this one page I can do anything I typically do in a day.

What I did with the other pages is use them for Weather widgets (Their Weather widget is awesome for a few moments because you double tap it and it expands and retracts the city view BUT like I said it gets old fast) and I have some other useless widgets here and there too. Sorry I don't care about most of the other stuff (I am a minimalist) I really don't need any other page with this but what I wish I could do is have the page switch at the bottom of the entire screen or be able to switch screens like we do in normal launchers or maybe switch screens with dots at the bottom of the screen.

The concept of the slider-selector for the screens can get to be a bit too much finger scrolling for me but it does work, or it might be that I am lazy and just want it to be simpler. They were going for a 3D selector, I say whatever.

The side bar with the dark :) - It has 4 buttons.

Top to bottom are the following:

:) icon, Sun icon, Pushpin icon, and newly added Light bulb Icon

Top :) button - This has Phone, Messaging, clock, internet, camera, music, gallery, settings.

You can move any of the icons here around to which ever order you want, but you can't modify the names. You can remove items by dragging them to any screen, then move them from the screen to the trash. You can add icons to the slider by doing the opposite.

The two middle icons are useless as they have useless stuff but some of you might want to check them out.

The sun icon is for shortcuts or tsf widgets... not really sure.

The third pushpin icon is for artsy stuff you can add to your screens. such as clouds a pumpkin and a ghost.

The newly added Light bulb icon is cool. It has some nice Icon editors that let you do some nice little changes to density, size, color selections and shading.

The lassoing of apps to create a folder or arrange icons still is in development and some functions are still not available in its current state. I don't understand the

mulit-choice

function, so if anyone can clue me in on that I would appreciate it - AND yes... it is spelt that way Arrangement is kind can be uselful if you are a little on the Monk side, and gather is not available in this version.

So all in all, they are still working on stuff.

Live wallpapers do not work so if you are like me and love those- you are out of luck.

I haven't read the manual, but with the newest version there is one if you want to read it.

New Thought 3/20/12

Anyone know if this is currently being worked on to be ICS available. I would like to try ICS but I won't do it without this Launcher. I have grown to really love how it operates. Or is there another Launcher like this for ICS?
