TSF Shell on Note 2 (vid) - Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps

Hey all here is TSF running on HyperNote 4.0, it's well worth the money even if it is expensive. Anyone else using it on their Note 2?

I think it worth it. It's expensive, yeah, but this launcher as nothing to do with the other ones !

Must agree that this is a very good Launcher. Tried many on the N7000 and bought this one imediately after the release. There were a few minir issues, they solved them with the folowing updates. Since I am on the N7100 using the touchwiz launcher to try out all N7100 features. Time to install the tsf again...

Too expensive..

Ye it's pricey but by far the best launcher out their, its more desktop like than a phone launcher.. makes me :highfive:

Can you name some functions you cant find in any other launcher (list of things which makes TSF better than all the other launchers)?

No grid alignment for icons they stay where you put them, Lasso tool for arranging icons ala Bumptop Style. Loads of sweet screen transisitons like roller-Icons that is just soooo slick. The special animated widgets that add a bit of style to your screen.
To me it's more than just a launcher its a full desktop replacement with it's own language for interacting with your device.
I like to think of it as how Windows 8 would of turned out if Microsoft had been using it's brain!

Tell me, where is notification bar? I cant see it anywhere

hey guys. the next update come tomorow with some translation (french, danish, spanish, hungarian and chinese) If you want to translate for your country... PM me (really easy to do)

Absolutely no offence against TSF (as it REALLY is a nice programmed launcher and I deeply respect such works!!), but what you just summed up was my experience as well...being just "cosmetic" stuff without any added value compared to my nova launcher. Some might love such stuff, for me it is just way too expensive for just having "roller-Icons" or "special animated widgets".
Not my stuff at all

i really like the animation and feature, but 1 only issue.. i can't find the option to change height and width margin on the apps drawer? all i can find is only changing the rows and column.. it looks messy from what i saw.. any solution guys?

Seems like a nice launcher, just wish the styling was different.
I wish there were more themes for this launcher and the ones that are out there didnt cost money. I think this is a great launcher but im not real keen on the theme.
There are many themes for this.

Where? I only see a few and almost all of them are paid skins.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
There are more themes in Google Play than in the built-in theme selector. Maybe that's what (s)he's seeing.
This launcher is cool, but it feels rushed in a few ways. For example, why can't I configure:
Where the MX (Cover screen?) button goes
Where the app drawer icon goes, or its icon (and why isn't it themed?)
The number of docks. I just want the one.
The task killer. I can already open it by long-pressing app drawer. Yet I can't move the dedicated task killer launcher (from dock 2).
The names and colors of the folders in the app drawer. No "Games"? And what is Lifestyle anyway?
The icons on the clock. Yes, I know I can change them, but to select Music, I have to have it launch the stock Blur music app? No thanks, I like the MIUI one, TYVM. Likewise with Contacts, I can't make it open Contapps. Gallery won't open QuickPic. You see where this is going.
The home screen indicator. I'm fine with it being there when I'm changing screens, but all the time? Not feeling it.
Other than that, it is a nice launcher. When placing icons, you get the grid from GO Launcher EX. Also from GO is the home screen configuration (press Home, this lets you add or remove home screens, or move them around). From GO and ADW it has a popup when long-pressing icons; other than being more visually impressive, it adds an Info option which takes you to its page in Settings/Applications (this is good if you want to force close the app, or maybe clear its cache, or remove its defaults).
The settings are also really bare and spread out amongst some confusing labels.
This app has a couple neat ideas. The app drawer and cover screen are nice touches, but the customization is very shallow. It feels like a beta, a work in progress. I'll keep it around because this thing is just dripping with potential.

360 Launcher

Hi guys this is my first post here.
I just wana ask if you tried this launcher "360 launcher" and use the ICS theme,
and ICS live wall paper its pretty cool with hybrid rom v2.1 very fast
77mb used ram (with apps running) and 167mb free.
Hope some devs make this as their primary launcher in thre roms
sorry i cant provide any links its my first post xD
Searched and downloaded just now. It's all in Chinese damn it. XD
I can't tell which one is the launcher. So many themes and all of them in Chinese. @[email protected]
Okay, found the launcher. You're right, this is quite beautiful. I'm gonna check everything first.
Man, I love you and hate you at the same time. I am a launcher-phile and compulsively change launchers all the time. I thought I've finally settled and then you go showing me a new one. XD

hahaha lol dude look for ICS live wall paper in the market then dowload ics theme in 360
then DL 14 status bar from creeds rom flash it and the outcome will be fantastic dude! the transparent launcher and the live wall paper its really cool dude!

Haha okay. Followed your advice. Here's the outcome, minus the status bars as I can't download stuff at the moment. Lock screen is also from the launcher itself.
I love this launcher. Very light and quick. I've been monitoring ram usage all day and it never goes past 4mb. Never. Barely even reaches it. It comes with its own widgets and lock screen which are nice.
And thanks for the link Kundan.

It hasn't lagged for me at all? But yeah, great launcher. Just wish it had a search feature for the app drawer, like Nemus. XD

Sorry, I didn't see your post till now. D:
No I'm not using Chainfire. It might be with the launcher version. That screenshot was taken with v1.6. V2 is resizing icons in the dock.

New launcher!!

ok, if your like me then your looking to replace the stock launcher on a daily basis but have yet to do so because they all run with a degree of lag. (except tw)
Well good news!
There is another launcher i found to work very well with the galaxy note and it is called "aShell" - It's based off of ADW
It has a lot of similar features....... heck.... it looks strikingly similar.... almost a clone! I found it to use less memory and it is almost lag-free (i have widgets all over the place on 6 homescreens, btw). Plus it has quite a few features that ADW doesn't have ...... oh, and use the "scatter" transition - it's pretty neat.
Anyway, give the dam thing a try!
************EDIT********
Go Launcher 2.81 is available on the market. I suggest everyone try it. I am running the V6 Supercharger 1000hp setting with Go and it's the best so far... runs almost perfect on my note... with 6 homescreens full of widgets. GIVE it a.... GO
And if it works for you, hit the "THanK" button
******UPDATE******
GUYS, if you have CLOCKWORKMOD try my theme out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527002

thanks for this....always like trying new launchers....just installed and wallpaper scrolling works on this one.
will test this for a few days.....I am a hardcore ADWEx user.
yeah, i'm sure a lot of us will be please with it. i came from go.... using adw till they optimize but then i found this lol... my only discrepancy is the app drawer. but i can live with it for now.
will def try this out......
Edit: i still noticed lag in the app drawer.
adw ex didnt have that. im using go launcher right now, just switched from Spb shell. and will give this one a full test for a couple days and see if i can get ti run smoothly for me.
thanks for posting it up, im always looking for new launchers.
likewise... the launcher is the alpha-omega of the android experience in my opinion.
I've posted feedback to the developer with regards to the app drawer - I believe the launcher is still in the alpha stages, but it has a lot of potential.
I like the different features like the dock icons... if you drag each one of them up they pull up something different... like the phone pulls up the photo contacts and such.. These guys are definitely thinking differently.
yeah, some cool features.....
does it support vertical app drawer scrolling? I didn't see it. But I am at work so I am looking quickly and trying to be productive.

I thought android apps came with a 15 minute return policy? You could always try it and request for a refund.
Although, I don't see this particular launcher in my market, I can see it on market.android.com but not on my phone.
I think nemus is smoother and the dock can scroll to allow more apps in the dock and the app drawer will loop screens
Www

Trials are pointless because you can download the cracked app or crack the app and install it (like SPB Crack) for free.
I have done this with apps like widget locker, but when i found myself using them all the time i purchased it. That's my way of weeding out the bull$hit... "create-a-trial" lol

This launcher was first released mid-december 2011 - it's still developing.
I haven't tried nemus.... (might install and give it a go)
didn't like nemus....I am a launcher whore and I usually try them out as soon as I see them.
I'm not paying 17 bucks for something I can only test drive for less than 30 minutes. How the h*ll are you suppose to evaluate it in 15 minutes? Maybe if you are hopped up on speed, redbull or something, but most people can't evaluate it
in 15 minutes.
I don't go for cracked software, but I might just to see how it works for a day or two. If I like it, I'll buy it, but most likely it will end up being removed and forgotten.

Actually it's amazing. I thought it would destroy available RAM and cause slowdowns because its so feature/animation rich but not at all. It's homescreen transitions are smoother than any other launcher I've tried...except Launcher Pro but that was back inthe GB days (and for a while I've been in love with Apex and Nova).
When it first came out, yeah it sucked because it didn't have much. Nowadays, TSF shell is beast. I'm the type of guy who immediately has buyers remorse for anything that's frivolous and only for me...and it's been over a week with TSF and I'm still in love.
Once you fully customize it and have all the settings perfect...you might get punched in the face for annoying people since all you want to do is show them how cool your device is (I don't like tooting my own horn or showing off devices and yet I've done it multiple times after getting TSF)
Anyways, I'm not telling anyone this is the best for everyone...but had to throw in my 2 cents so TSF gets a fair rep.
I agree and the its terrible comment makes me wonder if he tried it for more than 30 seconds.

Simple Home is decent (though it doesn't support widgets).
I use Nemus Launcher just because of it's speed.
If you have a higher end device I'd say give SPB Shell 3D a go, it has some pretty sweet widgets
And if you have a tablet, Chameleon Launcher has some pretty cool features.

+1000 main reason I'm not using it. Pity they still haven't looked into it, Next launcher is rock solid with no fcs and scrollable widgets run smoothly.
Using it and loving it! Definitely not for everyone, as it does take some time to get used to (not having the built in grid pattern & the high price) but is actually pretty awesome on the larger screened Note 2! As for lag/stability, it has been absolutely stable and lag free for me for the past two months. Anyone who's already bought it I would give it another shot! Sad that there isn't a longer refund window for apps over a certain price (now there's an idea) so that a person could actually explore it to see if they like it before shelling out $14+
Being lazy now and pasting my comment from another thread:
"Here are a few of my screens. I use TSF Shell (REALLY expensive for a launcher, I think I paid $14). Yeah I was enough of a sucker that I was willing to shell that much out for something that seemed like a significantly different UI experience. At the time I was using a "smaller" screen phone (Galaxy Nexus) and remember thinking that it was neat, but a lot of the features would be of more use on a tablet. Then I got a phablet...
TSF doesn't have any pre-defined grid, BUT you can group icons together (and line them up with eachother) and place them anywhere on the screen you wish. (You could create several different groupings of different densities and put them in different places.) Widgets can be sized and placed however you like as well. This "feature" was actually annoying (and not a feature at all for me) on smaller screen phones but was great on the Note 2 :victory:
One a couple of the screens you'll notice that icons are grouped in the lower right corner; this allowed me to comfortably reach them all with one handed operation, which was my only challenge with the N2.
I used to be a die hard Nova Prime user (and likely would be again on a smaller device), but on my wonderful big N2 screen I couldn't be happier
(I realize that this is not a "favorite launcher" thread, but was waiting for the chance to gush about TSF a bit "

I liked its custom widgets.
It worked smoothly, but, was a little slow while switching apps.
So, turned back to touchwiz......
If you like tsf shell try out next launcher IMO its better

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That is because Yandex is from the company who bought the company that made SPB shell. It is somewhere in Russia, I dunno...
SPB shell was excellent on Windows phone 6 but TSF shell really rocks. I often switch from Nova to TSF.
