SPB Shell 3D Flies!

[estelgrace]

I got really tired of the lagginess, which REALLY shouldn't be happening on a tablet with this caliber of processor. Seriously, Samsung and TouchWiz! Get it together! ARGH!!

I tried ADW Launcher but the top teal options bar taking up space was a big turn off. I like my space thanks. Though it was already a BIG change from TW. I "bought" SPB Shell 3D from the Market just to see how it would work. Man, this thing flies on it! It's amazing! Quite a sight! No more lag whatsoever! Suffice it so say that I didn't refund. Best $15 I've spent perhaps. I might even keep it on there after ICS. LOL. But we shall see. I'm really quite happy with this tablet now. Good bye, TW! Good bye, lag!

Anyone else recommends this ?!

EDIT>>
Just tried it... it does work as smooth as a baby's butt... Why don't they build the default UI smoother... Grrr... hate lazy coders!!!

Honestly, I've had more luck with ADW EX. I have used SPB 3D for a while on other devices, but on the 7.7, the frame rate seems lower than what I might have expected. ADW on the other hand seems to cruise along at a smooth 60 frames per second. I haven't had this same experience with SPB. Not to say that SPB isn't responsive or anything like that, it's just that it feels stuttery I guess. If only there were a way in SPB to disable wallpaper scrolling...

Hmm. I thought wallpaper scrolling was turned off by default. I had to turn it on in settings just to try it out for kicks. To use live wallpaper you also have to enable it in settings.

It was off for me at one point, then I rebooted, and then it was on, and I couldn't find a way to disable it! >_<

You can hide the top status bar on ADW EX to get the extra room back. Use one of the gesture option and choose "hide status bar". Then use the gesture to hide it while you are at the home page. Then you can go back and reassign the gesture for something else. The effect will be there even after reboot.
