[Atrix 4G General] JeRrYFaR:
Thanks for the response. I was unable to boot into Android Recovery, however I hadn't tried the others. After numerous searches I found information on how to use moto-fastboot to install RomRacer's Recovery image and after doing that I was able to get into Recovery (phew!). I did a complete wipe on the phone (Dalvik, system, etc) and installed Neutrino 2.2 with Lite gapps, United States (GPS), Sync, and Gtalk (for video) and shockingly it finally booted into the rom. I think at this point I'll leave it alone after restoring my apps via Titanium Backup.

My phone is now working again. Hopefully I can keep it that way. :-)

Hellow,

Is it possible to connect a external HDD to my tab?

I have a HDD with a power supply and the HDD has a USB port.

So I connect the USB cable from my HDD to my tab and it goes into MTP mode, so it recognizes something so is it possible?

Thanks a lot!! :)

I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S II and I am so excited! However I have to learn a whole new community. I'm moving from a Galaxy S Vibrant. I know a lot of the Vibrant community moved to Galaxy S II so a lot of the stuff is familiar. Do any of you remember the bible (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=771111) that was posted in the Vibrant dev sub forum? I'm hoping to make something like that, or someone with knowledge of the community to build something like that. It's so helpful.

Check the stickies and hope you enjoy your new phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ninrocket2:
When you get ready to ROM....

I would say try GingerSnap, Juggernaut and Bombardier.

One of the best was BeastMod but dude got banned.

Once you mess around and get familiar with the phone...you will probably do what a lot of us have done....go back to stock, root the phone and grab a copy of Titanium Backup and start deleting bloat.

The best battery and performance is stock. Just install a battery manager if you want from the market.

Later.

Personalised pages also don't have a defined grid, so you might wanna add that.

Also, long press an icon, and use multitouch to rotate it freely for even more control on your pages.
[Android Apps and Games] rashid.fairus:
some of the feature that were demo in their website wasnt implemented in this release,so what happen and is it worth??

from the ARC
[Android Apps and Games] doberman16:
Yes, thank you! I completely forgot to add that.

Rashid,

I'm confident the developer will release the missing features as they can. Admittedly, I have little to base my confidence on, but they have released several updates already. If that continues, I'm sure the features will too.

As far as whether or not it's worth it? I believe so. It's the only launcher that was brave enough to throw out the standard feel of android and completely change it.
[Android Apps and Games] scottpole:
Watched the video on the market and seriously the most feature packed launcher I've seen and incredibly smooth. If I ever am ready to pay 15+ on a launcher it would definitely be this one. Im using the stock launcher on my bionic at the moment and im satisfied.
[Android Apps and Games] jdiddy_ub:
if they are going to have a page for apps instead of an app drawer then really should let you "hide" apps...i currently use go launcher and it is essential as i have a lot of system apps that i do not want something accidentally clicking or opening and changing something....also a lot of addons that ive downloaded show up in the app drawer or in this case app page and it leads to a lot of clutter

is it a nice launcher? yes, definitely...gorgeous animations and extremely fluid...but for $17 it better have everything the free ones have and some (which it does not) the features it does have are nice and pretty...but they are more luxury then necessities..go launcher, adw have a bunch of essentials that this launcher does not have...this launcher completely cripples artistic creativity (due to its lacking features)
[Android Apps and Games] doberman16:
Scott,

I totally get where people are coming from with the price... To am extent.

However, in the grand scheme of things, this is a launcher that took a lot of time and excellent coding. Lets not forget you can use it on all your future androids as well.

Jdiddy,

I also agree on the app page. App hiding isn't that important to me personally, but I get why it can be for some. Also, it's just a tad inconvenient. I can honestly say

I'm not sure why I perceive it as inconvenient... It's not like it takes long to access.

Aside from that, I do miss my dock. I can't seem to find a convenient place to put my dialer.
[Android Apps and Games] jdiddy_ub:
its convenient because we arent used to an app page...normally we press the button and have the ability to back out back to the homescreen..the app page forces to to switch between and choose which screen to go to after...its quite annoying...an app drawer is a lot easier

and the lack of a dockbar is a no no...i, as well as everyone else, have grown accustomed to a dockbar as even the stock launcher incorporates one...phone, contacts, texts need to be accessible from any page or else you have to have multiple clicks to perform simple tasks

IF and WHEN they incorporate the other basic stuff..dockbar, app drawer, grid size, # of pages...this launcher will be up there with the best

having an android is all about customization and using this launcher takes that away...its like having a glorified iphone...in terms of what your screen looks like
[Android Apps and Games] codesplice:
Nice collection of instructions; thanks for this. I hadn't realized that the tabs could be moved!

I've played a bit with creating a false "dock" at the bottom of each page to allow me to always have quick access to the Phone, Google Voice, Gmail, and Chrome apps. Seems to be a fair compromise so far.
[Android Apps and Games] jdiddy_ub:
that is the obvious work around...however, at this point -all launchers have it (especially for a $17 launcher) a dock seems like a pretty basic feature
[Android Apps and Games] doberman16:
Jdiddy,

The thing is... If this were iOS you'd be stuck. On Androids, we can provide feedback to the developer and, dare I say it, actually be listened to! The launcher is new, but from my perspective, the devs are listening.

Easier said than done, but if they incorporate a few more features, no other launcher competes. The fact that they have decided to say "To hell with the standard, lets be innovative." Is huge. I mean... Seriously, other launchers are nice, but come on. They're all same **** different day. They come up with slightly different ways to do it, but never far enough off the beaten path to really drop jaws.

Code, thank you! Glad I could help. Good idea with the pseudo dock. I might try that. I'm just the type of person that likes everything aligned and there really isn't a way to do that. At the same time, I enjoy the option to place things wherever you want. If a snap to grid feature were added... It'd be perfection.
[Android Apps and Games] doberman16:
Jdiddy, I don't disagree at all. Lets again not forget the fact that this launcher is not written in stone. Smart devs, which I believe the TSF devs are, will listen. If they don't... I'm out $17... I've spent way more on way less useful things in my lifetime.
[Android Apps and Games] codesplice:
I keep seeing folks lamenting "oh, it doesn't do this that Launcher X does". So what? It does plenty of things that other launchers can't touch! It wasn't meant to be just another clone of the stock Android launcher (like ADW, LauncherPro, Apex, Nova, Trebuchet...). TSF Shell is revolutionary, a way to interact with your Android device that is completely new and breaks from tradition. It's fantastic to have the option of a launcher that is truly different from all the others.
[Android Apps and Games] jdiddy_ub:
did i state my comments in a negative way? i was just stating what they needed to add..and giving reasons as to why its important...im commenting on the state of the launcher as it stands right now and nothing else...i said it crippled customization...which is the truth..i didnt blast their product or say their work was shoddy..its called constructive criticism

and yes, this launcher does things that others dont...but the KEY is that it limits customization...im not asking for bells and whistles to be taken from other launchers...its great that this launcher is unique...but im not about to trade convenience for a few cool animations..tell me that the app page is more convenient then a drawer and tell me that not having a dockbar is a good idea...didnt think so..thats all im saying..if they add all the customization options and had everything they have in their demo video then i can understand the hefty price tag

that was my entire point.

also..my perspective is of someone that creates a lot of artistic homescreens in the http://mycolorscreen.com mold

so to me grid size, icons, # of pages all that stuff is crucial...and after seeing the stuff this launcher has to offer...if they added those things, it would be incredible
[Android Apps and Games] doberman16:
Jdiddy,

Perfect response. I don't think anyone took your comment negatively... I didn't at least. Does it have took for improvement? Absolutely! Does it have the capability to meet our expectations? Yes! The only question is whether the devs respond to their paying customers in the way that they should.

I could email them myself, but lets be realistic. They're flooded as it is. My email would get lost in the mix and I completely understand that. The key here is to be the squeaky wheel... Because that's the one that gets oiled first.
[Android Apps and Games] vallcho:
When install new app, icon of this app will be on fire, but not animated for now. Music widget allso will appear in nice music preview mode when swipe over it. And one bug - when using lasso function to select icons and release screen, then choose arrange icon function, the last selected app will run automatically.

Nice launcher, very fast with great potential, but it's only born before 3 days :) , will be improved.
[Android Apps and Games] doberman16:
Vallcho,

The fire animation shows up only while scrolling. I some this is a bug.

The lasso function you are talking about is the multi select. And, yes, it does open the last app you selected. I'd assume this will be fixed.

Edit: I noticed that double tapping in the screen preview makes the screens jump in an odd way. Could be a bug, could be a broken feature.

Also, I somehow was able to get the lasso to appear in the app page. Again, could be a bug or intended. Let me know if you see the same and how you got it to happen. Haven't been able to replicate it intentionally.
[Android Apps and Games] lenny_kano:
I will say one thing, this launcher is the single most unique launcher available for android. I challenge anyone to give an example of something with as much creativity. There all either stock launcher clones, or clones of other OS's like windows phone.

That said, its far from perfect, but looking at a lot of apps on the market, the price vs effort/originality ratio is better with this then any other launcher available , so I very much look forward to what they can do in the future.
[Android Apps and Games] doberman16:
Very well said, Lenny. The thing we need to keep in mind is that it's a new launcher. It's innovative, and it's about time. If the devs need time to release everything... Give it to them. It will pan out.
[Android Apps and Games] lenny_kano:
As long as they don't abandon it. Its a great idea if they support it and keep it up.

Don't let it go the way of uber music. Great start, **** commitment and follow through. Innovative is a very good way of putting it. First original idea I've seen on the market for a long time.

And no offence to other launchers devs , there's amazing work going on in terms of feature adding and bug fixing, but the innovation is low to nonexistant.
[Android Apps and Games] codesplice:
Apologies if I came across a bit harsh. It was not my intent.
[Android Apps and Games] chuckenfoot:
Bought it after watching the video....love the animations and its different so I wanted to support the developement ....a little confusing at first but I'm hoping for some frequent major updates :)
[Android Apps and Games] aSquard:
All the complaints about the price still baffle me.. you all spend more than that monthly on your cell bills, data plans, and drinking nights. So the launcher is $17 ONE TIME - no ads, no in-app purchases for more features, nothing ::end rant::

The launcher takes some getting used to though. I hope that when there is live wallpaper support, it still runs just as fast and smooth as it does now. This launcher also needs resizeable widgets.
[Android Apps and Games] mcord11758:
The favorites tab on the left is a more than adequate dock replacement. In fact I like it more as itbis there when you want it and gone when you don't

I have been back and forth with this launcher. One second I don't like it, the other I love it
[Android Apps and Games] neuropsychosis:
Can't really stay with it at it's current state. This may sound harsh but at this point, it's nothing more than a few homescreens with fancy lasso effects.

Don't get me wrong, i like what i saw in the hype videos but this is not what i expected.

I'll wait for the finished product.

Doesn't seem like anyone mentioned it, but the music widget works with other launchers :). I'm getting the music overlay on Nova Launcher Prime as well.
[Android Apps and Games] aaricchavez:
But for those of us that don't have service or don't drink it's a bit much. And the times I, and prob many others, do have service I only spend $30 on one month with MetroPCS, $17 is more than 50%.

We're all entitled to our opinions, and while I respect yours, I think that $16.80 is a bit steep for one app. So as to not spur any arguments I think everyone should keep their opinions to themselves, if you think the app is too expensive you prob aren't going to buy it, so you shouldn't be in the thread.

That aside, i've gotten it even though I feel it's a bit too expensive.

Thanks for taking the time to type up this guide doberman. I'll prob be referring to it when I start to use it more and once more missing features are implemented.
[Android Apps and Games] doberman16:
I'm glad that people are finding this guide useful. I'm going to scan through the thread once more tonight and make sure I've added any extra tips that have come through over the weekend. I'd also like to thank those of you who have contributed!

I'm working on a rough estimate as far as the impact on battery life. With the 4.3" screen and my heavy use (in my opinion, anyway), I'm accustomed to charging daily, usually overnight. No launcher has changed my battery drain enough to last much longer than a day.

That said, using this launcher, I'm still charging on a nightly basis as usual. So my perception is that it's not a battery hog. If anyone else has input on this, I'd be more than happy to add that in as well. Anyone know of any battery benchmarking apps? That would make this test a lot easier.

Side note: Haven't seen an update come through for 4 days. Hopefully there's one in the works very soon. As I stated previously, there were at least 2 updates shortly after release. This gave me the impression that these devs are all about getting things rolling as soon as possible. 4 days isn't that long of a gap, but compared to only a few hours... it's kind of bugging me.
[Android Apps and Games] codesplice:
System Panel seems to indicate that TSF has a pretty negligible impact on processor time (and subsequently battery use). Average consumption of 0.3%.
[Android Apps and Games] XxMysteriousxX:
Thanks for the instructions, it's a great help!

Sent from my X10
[Android Apps and Games] doberman16:
The only thing is System Panel is getting that average from the Time Since start vs. Total CPU time. Since your time since start is over 11hrs and the CPU time is only just under 2min, you need to run it a lot longer to get a real average. I'm running System Panel now as well and we can compare numbers later.
[Android Apps and Games] codesplice:
This is true, but I was also looking at it from the perspective that TSF isn't needlessly using the CPU.
[Android Apps and Games] doberman16:
Ah, yes. Very true as well. I've also noticed it's pretty reliably smooth. Any other launcher I've used, no matter how smooth, tends to have dips in frame rate fairly often. My eyes tend to be sensitive to frame rate changes, so I notice it every time there's a difference.
[Android Apps and Games] meanm50:
This launcher is a joke. Especially considering the $16 price.

Moving from screen to screen is impossible as your finger will grab the app you start swiping on instead of switch the screens. The side bar is nice, but again, it doesn't scroll well.

If this is a $16 launcher, then GoLauncher is worth $50
[Android Apps and Games] codesplice:
That's not the intended way to move from screen to screen. There is no support for the swipe gesture. Tap and hold the Switch button at the bottom left, then drag your finger along the bottom so select the screen you'd like.
[Android Apps and Games] meanm50:
I know this...but while on the apps screen, you HAVE to slide your finger left and right to flip the app pages...and this is where the problem is. It constantly opens an app instead of flipping pages. I also noticed that the side bar button is super touchy and doesn't like to flip between the three available tabs.

I mean no disrespect, but damn...if you are going to charge THAT MUCH DAMN MONEY for a launcher app, it better be FLAWLESS and free of defects. Which is NOT the case here.
[Android Apps and Games] codesplice:
I've not encountered either of these issues. Swiping left and right on the apps page works just fine for me. I haven't had any problems with the sidebar button either.

Personally, I haven't really found any defects or bugs with this launcher. It runs perfectly and smoothly for me. It is lacking a few features that were demonstrated in the early demo videos, but I'm pretty comfortable in the knowledge that those features will be coming.

Dragging out of a folder in one fluid movement will make apps follow your finger in a snake.

I've been trying to do for a while since watching video not sure why suddenly started working for me today.
[Android Apps and Games] codesplice:
The trick is (I believe) that you have to have at least 7 items in the folder for the "snake" effect to work.
[Android Apps and Games] Slagathor:
Hiya guys,

I invite you to play with the density. TSF shell has been programmed so that it changes with the density. Having a SGS my normal density is 240. I've changed the density to 200 and am very happy with the result.

It's great TSF shell has no grid because you'll have a lot more space to put apps on your screen. Possibilities are almost endless!
[Android Apps and Games] slackwaresupport:
the app sucks.. and too high priced.
[Android Apps and Games] kanivier:

[Android Apps and Games] mjs2011:
oh good. glad it wasn't just me. I may play around with density as suggested.

Overall I really like this app. Yeah, I dished out $16...oh well. I like that it's something different for a change.

---------- Post added at 01:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 PM ----------

Tried a couple of density changes and it didn't help the blurry issue of app icons. i would guess that this would be one of the first things on the list to fix.
