Spb shell 3d on galaxy s3 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know most people use Nova or Alex launchers, but I was wondering if anyone be used spb shell yet. I had been using it on my old desire which made sense but Its a memory eater and took ages to load up after each reset, had lots of resets of its own, but did have a nice enviroment in all.
Any thoughts?

Check out the new version of tsf shell as well, afaik tsf is less memory eater than spb

spb 3d runs without issues on s3!! I used it for 2 weeks without any problems :good:

I used spb shell in the winmo days... What are the benefits of it?

I've been using it on and off without any issues. Looks good!

I downloaded it again and set the features that I'd like. Cannot say for sure if it gives me much more than touchwiz. I like the gallery option and the 3d appearance, I don't like the fact that in the apps once you reach the end you have to go back again, to flick through them, ad finally it does take up a bit more time to load up than the wiz if I use equal amounts of screens for all my apps. I'll see what I will do. I haven't digested it yet!

How do I activate spb again after I go back to touch wiz? I can't find an option to do that? Someone said to clear the "launch by default" on the application manager but that option is grayed out.
Thanks

As others said, TSF is a very nice launcher. Super fast and it looks pretty sleek. You should give it a try.

TSF SHell is the Smoothest launcher that is out right now........completely lag free.
if your willing to buy it i think it puts spb shell (which i also own) on a lower level. spb gets old quick to me. tsf has nice little features which make it unique enough to be fun.

waste of money in my opinion.
for the price of this i could have bought several Good apps or games.

spb shell not so much. but i keep coming back to stock.
it´s faster, simple, beautiful

I would never pay £10+ for a launcher regardless of how good it was.

Tried SPB again the other day for the first time in a while - try activating the tablet mode, then setting the grid to 4x4, it's rather nice.

[Q] Whats the Best Home ReplaceMent APP out?

Hi Guys,
Quick question out of Adw launcher and LauncherPro or Go Launcher Which is the best to use??
I want Photo Widgets But it seems theses Home replaceMents Dont have them
Launcher pro and ADW use to have Photo widgets but not anymore
do you guys have any ideas or should i just stick to Sense
KiK me at username CellOo
thanks​
I just tried Go Launcher Ex for the first time yesterday and I must say I am in love. Hands down the best launcher I have used to date. There are so many options and I love all the cool transitions. The Touch Wiz skin is pretty cool as well...It also has it's own free widgets that you can download.
I thought I was going to miss the Sense launcher but I do not see myself going back anytime soon.
The 3Evo was born to have 5 rows in it's launcher. It just fits perfectly. Add that with some Beautiful widgets, and it just can't be beat!
ive been using ADW and lovin it

Love launcher pro, but it sucks on e3d for some reason and it appears abandon my Federico. Was using ADWex but it isn't as smooth as launcher pro (when lp works properly anyway) so I tried go launcher, love it, extremely smooth, do miss the 3d (aka 4d) drawer though. Aside from that it kicks lp's ass.

GO Launcher is like launcherpro on steroids!!!!! Already loved Launcherpro but when GO Launcher came out.... man ol man!!!!! goodies!!!1

D. None of the above.
Spb 3d mobile shell is the only other launcher I use. Go back and forth between it and stock. It's widgets are by far the best in my opinion. It's not quite as smooth as sense and it costs... But well worth the money if you ask me.

I like that one a lot too. Use it intermittently. Only thing I don't like about that one is that when you go to "all apps" and you scroll fast, when you touch to stop the scroll, the apps crawl up or down for a second or more (to lock on to a row) and if you try to touch an icon to start an app while the scroll is still crawling, it ignores it. You have to wait until the crawling scroll is done and then tap again. So I've gone back to Sense just because the fact that it scrolls all apps a page at a time is nice.

I can't use any of them, because none of them (without root) will give me a simple 1x1 widget that will display my unread exchange emails. (I can't use k-9 because my work uses Exchange 2010).
15 BUCKS FOR A FREAKING LAUNCHER???
bwahahahahahahaha joke right?
I also like Go Launcher but the sense is really fast and go Launcher has a lag when changing pages.
I see that spb has experimental stereoscopic built into it. does that do anything on the evo3d?
Personally, I have tried all that you've listed... Also GDE.
I have stuck with Go ever since I really figured it out. It gets my vote!
I tried Go for a little bit. (Few hours) Unless I missed it in the options I didn't see where I could get a full screen app drawer. I just felt like I was missing a lot if real estate when I opened the drawer. Got in my nerves :/ Small I know, but that's me.

lol, that is pretty small considering all the other great features.
I switch between ADW EX & Go Launcher....I like to keep things clean looking, so Go Launcher I set up with the scrolling dockbar hidden (revealed with a down swipe). With ADW EX I use basically a dual dockbar & toggle between the 2 with a downswipe on the screen. 1 home screen and lots of real estate to actually enjoy my wallpaper.

I am enjoying my 3vo. But being my first real android, I do miss having quality apps from winmo days. They do cost more, but worked and looked better to me. Every one seems to be used to free mediocre apps that no one tries the pay apps. Unfortunately if no one pays there won't be many quality apps. I used SPB MS in winmo and will now try it here. I miss Agenda One as my calender also.

[APP] SPB Shell 3D on the Photon...loving it!

So, decided to try this launcher a few months ago for another device...priced at $14.95 I was skeptical. I downloaded it once more, to my new Photon...effin lovin it!
Love what it adds to my Photon experience. Yes, definitely overpriced...but totally changes your Photon to eye-candy goodness. I found the new Moto Blur to be rather bland IMO.
Loving the Message widget, totally dig the 3D carousel effect. The World Clock widget is fun, and the whole thing gives my Photon a quasi-Sense feel. Some cool looking / working widgets...and it flies on our Photon! Combined with Beautiful Widgets here and there I'm totally satisfied with my screen layout!
It's a bit of a memory hog @ roughly 90mb usage...but I tend to keep things skinny usually anyways, so no ill effects.
EDIT: I can't help but notice how lag-free this launcher is. I truly expected something so flashy to come with bunches of lag...SO not the case. Amazingly smooth. Also they've added rotate option now (I bought it a few months ago for another device so didn't know it had changed so much) for use in landscape!
Oh...here's the Market Link:
SPB Shell 3d
Have this on my EVO and is very smooth and fast. I like the interface. Used to be a die hard LP+ user and SPB Shell is less laggy when moving between screens. Plus, can put up to 16 screens with this. LP was taking way too much time to be re-written and not enough upgrades for my liking. Seemed to get more jerky after every update.
I'll be rockin this on my Photon this week as well if Blur doesn't do it for me.

Been thinking of getting SPB Shell ever since my friend showed it to me on his EVO. I an very tempted to buy this now that I have my Photon but kind of wanted to spend more than 4-5 days with the stock launcher.....lol
been using it since it came out for android love it also, for me i look at this way, this is the third phone i have used it on, with different versions of android, so far all it has done is improve my experience its paid for itself.
I bought it and liked the look and feel but on my phone it was crashtastic. Maybe something I am running doesn't agree with it very well. Handcent possibly...

I was liking this shell OK until I tried the HD dock I the necessary notification to get webtop to work fails to come up for me with this shell loaded
Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk
I don't have the dock so can't test this....but I bet someone with a rooted phone, the dock, and Tasker could try and make a script to run the clock when docked and maybe pop up an option for webtop? Just a thought. Then any launcher could have the same functionality.
Still like SPB over stock launcher even with those drawbacks.

Must have apps.

Okay let's have it. What are some of the apps you absolutely have to have on your phone? Apps that improve the functionality of the phone or just allow u to do really neat things...(not including the standard root tools like titanium)
Looking for other ideas. And go
There was another thread with a couple listed. I use button savior to be able to use back, home, menu and power/lock with spen. Pretty nifty, and stays well hidden. GMD gestures is another good one to customize spen gauss with and without pen button. I don't use it though, it's only five bucks too.
Edit: Pixlr, Nova, and JuiceDefender as well. Misread the subject, I thought it was spen apps :|

IMHO Nova Launcher is the first thing this phone needs out of the box. Makes it so much more user-friendly, and keeps waste of screen space to a minimum.

Anyone using Next Launcher 3D? SPB Shell?

Just wondering if anyone on this board is currently using Next Launcher 3D, or SPB?
Anyone use both and care to share their thoughts?
Thanks!
(just wondering if either of these is worth the price of admission, or if, after purchasing it, I'll get bored with it quickly...)
I have spb, its good but uses lots of memory, sometimes, it lags speed to load, and slows down, it only has one theme so you either settle with it or once you get bother you regret spending $15.00 dollars as I did. otherwise its good launcher.

Nova Launcher Prime is an excellent launcher.
Only problem I've been having, I can create a folder and put several apps in it. However, after about three or four apps, when I try to add another app to a folder by dragging the app to the folder, the folder and app simply swap locations! It's absolutely maddening!
I've written to the developers, and they've responded by telling me how to add an app to a folder. I KNOW how to add apps! It isn't WORKING! The app and folder simply change locations!
Other then this one issue (which is kind of a biggy), Nova is bug free and a pleasure to use!
I love nova launcher. Worth every penny. Sbd always ran very smooth for me by lacks features. Kinda like the stock android launcher. What you see is what you get.
Another vote for nova

I've used Next Launcher it's buttery smooth. They are able to achieve 60 FPS consistently which is very rare for a launcher. Is it worth $15, hell no! Maybe $5 at most but I have used so many of Go's products which are all free so I figured the $15 went to support continued development.

Folders are for noobz. Take advantage of the tabs I have mine set like this. General, Games, Tools, Media, Misc
Seeing as the "General" tab is first I have allocated it to be for any app that I access all the time.
When Eclair and Froyo were around, I used Launcher Pro Plus. Once Gingerbread was released I was on ADW EX until it was destroyed by Go Launcher EX. But then came along ICS and changed the game, I felt like Apex Pro was the best for a long time. Once Nova and Apex both launched "Extra Tabs" I started the tabs on Apex and it SUCKED so I switched to Nova Prime and I feel like it is the best Launcher experience to date.
P.S. I have tried SPB Shell on my SGS 3 and it was slow and buggy. It felt too bloated for me. If you want to try something completely different, I would recommend using widgets and multi picture livewallpaper. You can create some awesome effects.
There is a video on youtube right here going in to detail on how to do some of the stuff (this is over the top for me) but you can play with it. *Note you don't have to use Go Launcher, have a play*
I hope this helps

This error has nothing to do with Nova. It is most likely because you are running a 3rd party Message app or simply a bad mms.apk install. I would clear the cache files or reinstall your messaging app

Probably getting notifications from both stock sms app and 3rd party.
As far as Next Launcher and SPB they are gimmicky crap in my opinion. They might look cool for a day or two but that wears off and you are stuck with a cheap toy-looking launcher that you spent upwards of 15 bucks on. Get ADW EX or Nova or Apex.

Yeah, the 3rd party message app causes the duplicate unless you disable the notification.
I have played with SO many launchers at this point it makes me dizzy. All the 3D stuff/fancy frills are battery kills. I love the stock launcher, but Nova really takes the cake for me.
Yea I did have 3rd party apps but I uninstalled them for that reason cause of the double notifications....still get them though don't knows what's up don't get me wrong I love nova SPB definitely not worth the price and Next was eh I'd rather use nova or EX...still running Nova right now love the gestures to pull up an app!

It sounds like you're definitely having an issue with the launcher configuration. I've dealt with that before too, but the good thing is sometimes I'll have trouble with nova trying to get the settings dialed in perfect and it still will feel off, and I'll try apex and the stock settings out of the box perform crazy fast and smooth. Or it might be vice versa, but I would tinker with that.
Also, make absolutely sure you aren't restoring your launcher backup or settings or anything that you used on the S3 over to the DNA.

I'm talking about the settings in the Nova launcher settings, not the ones in developer settings. There are speed settings in Nova launcher's settings that you can tell it to give priority to speed over graphics.
Edit: Found another person's post on another site about it:
To make it even faster go to nova settings, look and feel and change scroll and animation speed to faster than light.

That does make it feel a little faster but i was saying that nova launcher made my phone unresponsive once.. The button clicks would take few seconds to register.... A reboot fixed it... Thank you. I am trying the faster setting and i like it
I tried adw but went back to nova cause I just am familiar with it.
I changed the settings to faster than light and its way better so far!!

Maybe you just aren't used to sense? Sense has always been known for being a heavier skin. I'm fine with it, however sense 5 is way faster and smoother. Just because the phone doesn't feel fast, doesn't mean it isn't. It is a very quick device.

I don't know if this thread is dead but for people with this issue in either nova or apex in their respective advanced settings you can make the launcher stay in memory. This brings redraws to nothing on apex for me.
