Well, I hate to say this, for you people that can't stand Next, but their new version is smooth and really working perfectly. That's how many updates compared to TSF??
[Android General] rexboy:
It's a personal preference thing. Ie. Apex and nova are great, very smooth but I find them boring and offering nothing new.

Some like next, some are borderline with it, I personally don't like it yet, I don't find it unique as a launcher.

Updates or not doesn't mean it's necessarily a great launcher but of course that's just my 2 cents worth.

Of course opinions will differ.

Go products are updating all the time like Gosms but they are all useless token updates and the like lol. Not offering things people want like backup local etc.

You can't tell Next from any other launcher. Only when you're setting up your phone does its features reveal itself. Imo not worth the ultra premium price.

[Android General] catman51:
To be perfectly honest, I prefer TSF. But the moving widgets problem makes it completely unusable for me, so I have to sit and wait for the next version.
[Android General] L00n:
exactly what i was thinking when i got the update yesterday .
[Android General] desh_iit:
I tried Next launcher for 10 minutes. I felt it's copy cat from TSF, SPB shell. When I can use the original ones then why should I go for duplicate apps? - Just my view.

Apart from that I found all their animation and fancy stuff was in menu opening , closing , icon tapping etc etc but not in real launcher. Why should I go to menu in every 5 min for viewing that animations. It made me believe that they added these animations just to justify their price not to make an extraordinary good launcher.

Next launcher reminds me SPB shell, first app I purchased but after using 1 day I found it was a very cheap launcher with some inbuilt pages and it was just for showing the 3D screens to my friends. Showing those animation actually took 2-3 min. then ?? Everyday you won't find new friends to show how excellent that launcher's 3D effect is, but you know it is just a boring launcher. Thank to SPB for my great review they refunded me after 6 month. :laugh:

But in TSF, apart from current bugs (which I believe will be sorted out in next coming weeks) , everything is like fresh air, far ahead from traditional launchers. They did not spent time on opening setting or menu but they made very innovative page scrolling, icon DPI changer, widgets unlike other(for say TSF Pendant Widget,TSF Music Widget,TSF Weather Widget, Gallery widgets ). Even the icon designer is different (probably new) from rest A,B,C launcher.

Since current version of TSF does not allow me to add much widgets, for everyday use I have reduced the no if pages to 5 from 10 and put less widgets. Everything is fine for me right now. But obviously I am looking forward the fixes that I pointed out earlier.
[Android General] j76ms:
I actually like NEXT Launcher and updated to the most recent release 1.21.1 and the screen flickers when swiping between pages. It did this before the update but not as bad. It is very annoying. I uninstalled and re-installed and the same thing happens. This is on a non-rooted gs3.

TSF is soooo much more smooth than any other Launcher that I have tried (NEXT, Nova, Apex, TouchWiz, Vire)

I think its hideous. I wouldn't use it if it was free.
[Android General] schimm:
They've got a patch now as a separate download to fix the the default launcher issue. And for those who said it was a minor thing affecting just a few, its been DLd over 5,000 times. Google refunded me the 16 bucks (as i complained the app was defective) and the patch came out lterally the next day. Still Next ain't worth even 9+ bucks IMO.

[Android General] tool_king:
Seriously, who is interested in Next, just a poor copy, as long as the original is even miles better, although it hasn't been updated since months? Next isn't revolutionary at all, it's just some kind of Go Launcher with extra eye-candy.
[Android General] dawabz94:
Same here , I would not go NextLauncher even for free
[Android General] schimm:
I see Next as a racket to sell themes at the Play store. And they already have plenty of them that go for around 2 bucks a shot. But thats just me. Maybe someone here can shed light on this.

I see Next has a trial version out on the Play store now if anyone is interested. They deserve some credit for that.

Could you please be as kind as to stop spamming this thread with your bloody next launcher-ads?
[Android General] sinjiyo:
Lol:) I think that too. But he can speak about what he want.
[Android General] tool_king:
Of course freedom of speech rules. But next launcher ads are definitely off topic in a thread concerning tsf shell.
[Android General] schimm:
Except when people stop posting. I'm not spamming Next.....I've stated I don't like it. I've even gotten a refund. TSF is stagnant right now so its not like I'm cluttering an ongoing discussion and its not like Next has not been a part of this thread. Mind your manners.

[Android General] tool_king:
Next Launcher is just part of this thread cause guys like you don't mind the rule of not posting off-topic.

Do you want to tell us anything concerning TSF Shell? If not, then post your comments concerning Next Launcher on some Next Launcher thread.

Can't wait for it.

I bet this update would be amazing since the present one already got me stuck with it.

I've tried other launchers but then stick with it. And those widget problems that mentioned before, they haven't occured on my phone.

Hope the next update will work perfectly to me again=)

[Android General] jenizaro:
I have a feeling (my spider senses say so) that they won't be able to release the new update on time. Don't know why but i feel like that :rolleyes:
[Android General] yaatzek:
My feelings are opposite jenizaro. If they wanted to release an update around february (sinjiyo leaks) they probably had almost everything working, but they decided to give themselves another month to make it the perfect update. Maybe they also are working on something extra to make us more happy than ever.
[Android General] tool_king:
Well, our feelings don't matter at all. What matters is the stability of the update and the creativity of the new features.
[Android General] Jonny176:
For me I like that we're getting some new stuff but it's the moving widgets that drive me nuts.. If they fix that it would be just about perfect

Locking the desktop within desktop settings hasn't solved this problem yet?
[Android General] catman51:
No, they still move.
[Android General] tool_king:
These moving widgets seem to be a problem only for some devices. On my LG P880 I've never had any issues concerning widgets so far. *knock on wood* ;)
[Android General] jenizaro:
I'm experiencing the problem on Galaxy Note JB 4.1.2. They move like jagger :D
[Android General] tool_king:
Like Jagger? This sounds really bad. You should hurry to the cell phone hospital immediately. :P
[Android General] Jonny176:
Tried locking... Deleting widgets reloading and re-locking again.. Problem persists... Weird thing is sometimes they don't move for a while then their all over the place
[Android General] jenizaro:
I also send TSF Team a mail about grouping widgets on widget selection menu. I have zooper, hd widgets, uccw, minimalistic text and desktop visualizer widget. Each one has 20-30 widgets. Scrolling, scrolling and scrolling till i find widgets start with "Z". They should group them.Like "HD Widget (17 widgets)". What do you think guys?
[Android General] tool_king:
Good idea! :good:
[Android General] yaatzek:
I believe it doesn't deppend on the launcher itself but on the rom, or more precisely system app which picks the widget.
[Android General] dawabz94:
I do not agree,

Nova Launcher offers widgets grouping no matter which rom it is installed on

[Android General] yaatzek:
Odp: Android3D UI - TSF Shell Pro

Maybe you're right,I just remember from good old sgs days that there were roms that had something called widget picker, and depending on the Rom it changed the way the widgets were displayed. But if it can be implemented through the launcher itself- count me in :D
[Android General] catman51:
I'm in too, but remember, the developers don't read or answer anything here, so it may be falling on deaf ears.

Odp: Android3D UI - TSF Shell Pro

Yeah, but we have sinjiyo :D
[Android General] mety333:
The cause to the problem of widgets moving to other screens on top of the other widgets is when you press the 'home' button from a page that has a certain widget, it started happening since 1.7.4 so i learned how to always use the back button instead of the home button by making the back button go from app drawer to home. Until they fix it in their 1.9.9 update.

Thats the only major bug i had since i started using tsf 10 months ago.

I loved tsf the first second i tried it 10 months ago. Looks and act different from anything else.

Next, spb, go, apex, nova and all the others are either eyes candy or just standard good launchers...

...but tsf is something else. The sliding dock, the shaking icons, the floating clouds, the flame that shows on new installed apps, opening folders by fanning them across the screen... really everything here works fast intuitive and you have all the flexible eye candy that adds to the package instead of trying to impress.

Besides, when i show people my phone home screen i always ask them 'do you also have floating clouds on your phone?' And people are always amazed in the 20 sec after that where i show them just a few features.

Now if only tsf will add a floating sun and rainy clouds i will love them forever!
[Android General] jenizaro:
Sinjiyo!!! Where are you??? You should release a "Holo UI TSF Shell Theme" for us or we commit suicide :eek: Believe it or not :laugh:
[Android General] sinjiyo:
Nova can group widget because since ics that's possible. Nova work only on ics and more. Tsf work on 2.1 and more (something like that). Impossible to add a feature wich work for some user and not for other. This fonction will be add later, when user-4.0 diseapear.

Hope you can understand what I mean with my bad english.

Look my google+ for my new theme:P
[Android General] jenizaro:
Is there a way to apply icons packs to TSF Shell. We can manually change icons by clicking on them. But i wonder if there is a way to apply just all icons of a nova/apex theme?
[Android General] Jonny176:
Yeah that would be great was just changing icons had to do them all manually... Kinda a pain lol
[Android General] sinjiyo:
No, only tsf theme with icon pack. But I think in 2.0 that will work with other pack like Nova.
[Android General] mb523:
I also hope that we'll be able to use icon packs from Go Launcher again. It used to work, but now doesn't.

I used TSF Shell for this design as you can see. There are very few TSF Shell based homescreens on mycolorscreen. This is a general topic about TSF Shell so we can talk "everything" about it here. This is not just "where is the update" thread for TSF Shell. I will write a tutorial about it for users in this topic.

Maybe you should the modded Play Store by Chelpus a try. Just an idea.
[Android General] CCallahan:
Haven't heard of anyone else having Play store issues while using TSF. Not sure why a launcher would cause GAPP issues since it is essentially just another app. Do you have problems with any other Google apps or just the Play store? Are you restoring a previous configuration of TSF or installing it from scratch and trying?

I would post something in the rom thread as well if you haven't already. Surely someone else is running that rom and has tried TSF with it.

Just a thought but I would be cautious of condoning the use of this here on XDA. Not trying to be thread police just a friendly word of advice.

Its well into 31st now... Many months of no updates or just small bug fixes... To celebrate this new "release", I have now purchased Next Launcher which has been updated on the 28th of March, and seems to receive regular feature additions and bug fixes.

The developers should be mindful that although they have our money already, we get asked by friends all the time for oppinions on home replacements. There was a time that I was suggesting TSF, but it has slowly been shadowed by other launchers.

[Android General] ndamianov:
The TSFUI team just lost their only chance of winning back the trust of the users. The 31st release date has been there for a while, and to be changed AFTER the release should have happened is a little late.

Originally I was a little surprised that a few other launchers with similar features started to pop up, and then even more surprised when it was evident they were getting a lot more popularity/downloads/revenue then this launcher. The issue seems now rather evident, its not the quality, the features or the execution... Its the lack of support and communication that is driving this launcher into the ground.
[Android General] tool_king:

We were waiting for this update in January, now it's almost April. 3 months for a bug fixing? 13€ for the launcher and no updates for 3 months? I think you should cut off a good % on sell price or offer some special addons for free. Just for respect to your customers.
[Android General] nadia520:
3 months for some bugs fixed isn't a wise choice for a developer, however, it's for a new release with some bugs fixed.

I can wait for it...I mean just a couple of days...just wait and see if they break promises again!

but it would be better if they release a update for fixing bugs first so that users would stick with the launcher instead of switching to some other copy cat apps
