Default SPB Launcher 3D

I was thinking that I bet the SPB Shell 3D Launcher would be GREAT on the Note. It is expensive. It is up to $14.95 now but isn't your Note worth it ??

Here is a youtube video

The thread is in the correct place now. You gotta go to college to figure out this theme I think.

from the sound of things, you havent even tried to tweak it?

if you go into the home settings, experimental, you can switch between tablet and smartphone layouts. smartphone layout is what you'd want for our screen. the only downside is that smartphone layout reverts to a 4x4 grid with larger icons. hopefully they'll fix it in future. the only other issue is that due to the unusual screen size vs resolution, some of the widget borders arent placed correctly.

personally, i used it on my old motorola atrix, and now im using it on my note. i prefer it because it leaves me much more free ram over the course of the day compared to touchwiz, and it has the widgets that i like. it also seems to run smoother for me compared to launcherpro.

I have SPB Shell 3D on my Note and it works really well. If you are finding everything too small, you need to change the settings from tablet mode to phone mode - then it will look pretty much as you would expect. In the long run I actually really like tablet mode - it's pretty small but you can fit a huge amount of info on a screen. Overall speed and visual quality is great in either mode.

I'll have to admit that I don't use it that often, but it is a really sophisticated launcher......

SPB is very nice. Very cool looking if nothing else. I've used it for a few weeks but I keep going back to ADW. Some of the swipe shortcuts you can do with ADW are just too useful to pass up and I like the ways you can customize the dock with ADW.
If I've helped please click "Thanks".
