Battery for me was a little heavier than ADWEx or aShell launcher....about 3-4% heavier.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] the2rrell:
The video looks amazing.......lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mortem Tuam:
LOL you found it :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] the2rrell:
Booooya
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Err0xx:
At the end of the day using ADW EX I'd have 10% battery left with 22h unplugged time and 4.5-5h "screen on" time. Under the same load and almost identical usage (my days don't vary much as I'm very routine-oriebted) I was at 8% using TSF Shell. So the difference is negligible (the only difference in usage was playing with spf launcher a TON.) Had between 4.5 and 5h screen on time both days.

LOVE this launcher - its like a totally new phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Err0xx:
Sent a mail to publisher and its coming in a future update along with a more robust options menu. They already updated the dang thing 3 times in 2 days. Love the Dev support so far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Err0xx:
Widgets began working about 2 hours after the launcher was released. 100% functional now- even the music one. I didn't get spf for no lag, even though there isn't any, I got it because its fun to use and breaks the mold of cookie-cutter launchers. ADW EX, Launcher Pro, GO Launcher....so many are almost identical with small differences. I love that this one is totally different, extremely functional and fantastic for a day 1 release. Great Dev support too.

I like spending money to reward those devs that deserve it and I think the tsf team is one of those devs. This thing can only get better.

Sure all cars get you from point A to B; but driving a Ferrari with all the bells and whistles is a hellouva lot more fun. Tsf is the Ferrari of launchers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mortem Tuam:
The bottom line is this.

There are always three camps on these types of applications.

1. The best launcher best app best devs ever camp.

2. The worst launcher, slowest and most laggy, not worth the money camp.

3. The shut up already about this we stopped caring 100 posts ago camp.

The funny thing is none of us is right. Why? Because it's all opinion and we all like something different (which is what makes Android awesome) and price tags mean different things to different people. I think it's a great thing to have an opinion but it's a waste of breath to try and convince someone that your opinion is the right one.

Hopefully my video review (which didn't get posted last night but hoping it will be today) is informative and centered. I missed a few things in the review that I wish I could have added but it was already hitting 16mins long.

I may do a follow up in a few months once things have settled in.

I will say I like TSF better than SPB Shell 3D, and that is my personal choice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] StarLog:
I am not rich, $16.00 USD for this app is a bit too much.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] the2rrell:
+1<<<<<<<.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mortem Tuam:
I feel you brother :cool: only reason I bought it was because I had some extra fun money I earned, otherwise I would be on the outside looking in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] the2rrell:
the way i see it is, everyone blows money at some point during the week/month. at least 20 dollars on BS. weather its food, movies, dvds, just stuff you can do without for at least one week or so. so its not that big of a deal to me.

i will just not by the new dvd or whatever.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mortem Tuam:
that's all it is.....so TSF is more important than a DVD or new CD to you....but that new DVD or CD may be important to another guy.

Neither one of you is wrong. That's the beauty of it.

And as far as getting the launcher through "alternate" means, which was referenced somewhere before. Not cool. And it doesn't matter if we think the devs are charging too much and we think it's overpriced....then we just don't buy it.

And I sure am not going sit here and pretend that I never have in the past used "alternate" means. But now having done themes for ROMs and even my own gfxs work....I understand how much work it is and I won't be stealing from devs anymore. Just my .02 on that matter.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] the2rrell:
completely agree on that mord....on both fronts.

to each his own.....:p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] orangekid:
Agreed on this 100%

Although I'm sure we all could afford it, I think it's the principle of dropping that much coin on a launcher that would prevent me from getting it, but I wouldn't then go get it "for free" I mean it's either worth the price or it's not, and the devs spent a lot of time working on it, so they deserve to be paid for anyone using it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mortem Tuam:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] the2rrell:
will do....lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] omenz:
I don't think so... I can't install it on the xoom, oddly I can install the widgets for it though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
I purchased it the day it launched however I deleted it almost right away. Since I paid for it I guess I could download again if Widgets are working. I still need landscape though and will probably wait and hope that it gets that in a future update. Just reread my post and it came off the wrong way sorry for sounding rude unintentionally...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Rocket42:
hmm. I am so used to GO...but i just tried this and it is very smooth..but it is going to take a while to figure it all out. i THINK i like where it is going...

EDIT: Anyone find a written manual for this at all?? lol That video is not much help...I don't see how to get it to remotly even come close to doing what the video does...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mortem Tuam:
anyone else have issues with wallpapers using TSF?

Seems it stretches the wall a little bit when you set the wallpaper....I've tried QuickPic, WallpaperWizardii, PicSpeed, stock gallery and nothing seems to cut it. Wallpapers look like crap with TSF.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] the2rrell:
Yes yes........this is an issue. Im suprized the wall paper guru didnt notice this earlier. :rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Dacian:
Seems to be almost not just a launcher but a whole new UI setup, I wonder how big the install for this thing is. Does look pretty damn cool, but 17 bucks? Don't know about that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] omenz:
I agree it's more like a new UI. The file size is around 2.5mb.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mortem Tuam:
LMAO

I did notice....but I took exhaustive measures to try and fix the situation before I piped in....didn't want the wallpaper guru looking like a dolt! :D but it wouldn't be the first time LOL:p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mortem Tuam:
my email to TSF Devs sent two days ago......which they have not responded to.

Hello Dev Team,

Firstly I want to commend you on your efforts with TSF Shell Launcher. There are many things I love about this launcher and I was happy to pay the $17 for it. But there are some things that need drastic improvements and I will list them here for you. I am really hoping you can address these issues in a timely manner.

1. Widgets are not re-sizable as in cheaper launchers such as ADWEx and LauncherPro.

2. Icons are not customizable, again cheaper launchers offers this feature.

3. Wallpapers do not set right on the Galaxy Note ( the Galaxy Note is a larger screen but is still considered a phone) Wallpapers look horrible with your launcher on my Galaxy Note.

4. Tabs for dock and animation settings should be able to be moved to the right side of the screen, currently they are on the left making it difficult to access on the Galaxy Note.

5. The screen chooser (blue dial on bottom left) should be moved or have the option to be moved, to the right side of the screen.

6. Dock should be customizable like icons, again cheaper launchers have this feature.

7. Home button should be able to be set to a specific screen.

I hope this list helps you in improving your product.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] andrawer:
Maybe send them this version...

你好开发团队，

首先，我要赞扬你的努力与TSF的壳牌启动。有很多东西，我爱这个发射器，和我很高兴为它付出17美元。但也有一些事情需要大幅改善，我会为你列出他们在这里。我真的希望你能及时解决这些问题。

1。 Widgets是不能再便宜发射，如ADWEx和LauncherPro可观。

2。图标是不是定制的，再便宜的发射提供了此功能。

3。壁纸不设置壁纸期待与您对我的银河注发射可怕银河注（银河注是一个更大的屏幕，但仍然被认为是手机）。

4。码头和动画设置的标签应该能够被移动到屏幕的右侧，目前他们在左边使其难以进入银河注。

5。应移至屏幕选择（左下角的蓝色表盘）或有被感动，屏幕右侧的选项。

6。基座应该是一样的图标自定义，再便宜的发射器有这个功能。

7。主页按钮应该是能够被设置为一个特定的屏幕。

我希望这个名单可以帮助你改善你的产品。

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gordec:
I tried it but I don't think it's using the 720p display. The letters and icons don't look as sharp as touchwiz. Really snappy though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Thremix:
Great video man, I see your rooted, are you over clocked or have anyhin that would make the system run so smooth? Or is tsf just that smooth? That would really help me out.

Thanks man
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Err0xx:
I'm 100% stock- no root or anything and TSF is *hardcore* smooth. Not a single stutter/slowdown yet and its been my daily driver since release day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mortem Tuam:
no OC...just rooted, stock ROM.

It's very smooth and snappy....just hate that I can't get the wallpapers to render correctly.....look back a few posts for my thoughts on that.

Until they fix the wallpaper situation, I will stick with ADWex
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Thremix:
So far launcher pro has been 99.8% lag free... now its just my keyboard and browser.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tbran:
TSF is very smooth, but the wallpaper issues drive me insane. Same thing....I am so used to GO that it takes alot to make me switch. But I do see alot of potential here.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] baudilus:
So is it worth it for the Note? That's a lot of cheese for a launcher.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] esincho:
I bought it, but I can't use it as my daily launcher yet. Hopefully they keep adding features, so it won't be a waste of money like spb shell was for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] keplenk:
I installed it and I just refunded.

Am I missing something, there was no Search?

You know, when you push the Lens icon (right of back button).

So you manually look for the app? You can search for contacts, apps, etc.

Smooth though very very smooth.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] StarLog:
Way too expensive
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] andrawer:
Some like it because its quick. I thought a major hassle to setup and always having to push the bottom left button or slide out on the left to access anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zolah:
Ok so heres my thoughts of this launcher...

The launcher its self is super smooth... I mean like the smoothest thing you will ever see. It will make iphone fan boys shut up once and for all!

Using the nav button in the bottom left corner took 10 - 20 minutes to get used to. I kept swiping left and right and getting the laso tool lolz, but now ive got used to it i really really love. I think its a really intuitive feature and a nice way to keep your cards organised and seperate.

The folder animations are super sick. The way you can pull the apps out of the folder in a trail and also the way they pop out when you click the folder are really nice animations.

The quick nav bar on the side is also very very useful.

Thats about where the praise ends though...

I have a Galaxy nexus and the display is not HD which wastes my beautiful 720p display. The icons and text are blurry.

The launcher doesnt support scrollable 3rd party widgets which is a huge downer for me as i use scrollable widgets a lot! The music widget is scrollable however so maybe they will support other scrollable widgets other than their own in a future update.

It seems that all of the tricks and gadgets they have added all focus around setting up your homescreens and this about it. Once you have your screens how you want them theres very little left to show off.

Other features are also missing that can be found in free launchers such as resize widgets and uninstall apps from the homescreen.

The widgets that come with the launcher and the launcher itself seems a bit too catroony and unprofessional. After using vanilla ICS which looks very polished this seems a bit childish.

All in all i think this launcher has a LOT of potential for the future but as for right now its just not worth the price tag. If your going to pay out this kind of money for a home replacement app it should come with basic things such as scrollable widget support and higher resolution and as mentioned above basic features that even free launchers provide.

For now i would recomend to save your cash and see how this app develops in the future and stick to a much cheaper or even free app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] baudilus:
Has anyone found a fix for the fact that after being in an application for a while, you get a "TSF Shell is loading" and have to wait a few seconds for it to reload?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] funziebear:
I don't like it i used it for a day on my gs2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] polstein:
When they get some of the basic things taken care of (like Mortem Tuam) mentioned, I'll give it a shot. Until then, I'm lumping them in the same category of Shell 3D (which I bought but do not use) - lots of eye candy, missing basic essential functionality.

Using Go Launcher now.

BTW - played a lot with Sweeter Home before I switched. Haven't tried it on the Note (but will soon). It was a bit laggy on my HD2, and doesn't support scrolling widgets, but beats everything in the customization (and complexity) by a mile.

OH - I watch a lot of 'post home screen' threads, including the one we have for the Note, but still haven't seen a real good one that makes me go Wow! yet. Hoping someone can put out something amazing to take advantage of the extra screen space. My big gripe as always is wanting to put more useful into/buttons on 1 screen without making it look cluttered & having everything match. Drives me batty when you have 2 widgets from 2 companies & they look totally different!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Tim M.:
Polstein, have you tried Sslauncher?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] polstein:
Haven't even heard of that one - appbrain'ing now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Tim M.:
It basically allows you to make custom icons of any size that you direct to any program. It also lets you make icons that link to other screens. My home screen is below. Web opens Dolphin browser, Text opens Go SMS, and the date display is also a shortcut to my calendar. I set the font type, color, and size. The buttons at the bottom either open apps or jump to other screens. You can also use pictures as icons
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Tim M.:
Sorry "www." opens Dolphin. I have since changed it to "Web"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] busybeebusy:
ya it is awesome...i was using spb shell 3d on my note and i think i am gonna use this one now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] the2rrell:
i actualy really dig this launcher, as they keep adding features i think it will only get better.

the only thing that is a issue for me is that they dont have a home key function.

other than that i find all the little tools they did add very useful.

the side dock is great. i like the screen set up and icon changer.

i just hope they keep updating it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] the2rrell:
This launcher gets better with every update.

they now have a home screen, and let you edit the number and change the order of the pages that you have now.

This was totally worth every penny! I was scarred to buy it cuz i spend 15.00 on sub which never got updates and sucks big ones now. I just sent an email and development hooked me up with an older version n said it gets much better he was deff right! So freakin fast its nuts..

All the mods are going to take a minute to figure out but i like learning stuff

Deff a great buy!

Okay so I'm disappointed...it's very laggy for me and it's constantly restarting the launcher saying "tsf shell is loading" like every 2minutes. I can't seem to operate my phone due to this. Is there a fix or a work around? I really want to like this launcher!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] PaperRockets:
Which phone? Your device is (most likely) running low on free RAM, TSF uses a significant chunk of RAM, and is hence being killed repeatedly to free up some RAM.

Happens frequently on my captivate, though never on my Note.:eek:
