To all you amazing dev's: Anyone interested in porting this to us? i think this launcher looks fantastic. Take a look at that vid, and here are the posts with files for it.

edit: looks lke i was wrong its not VEGA, its PoV Mobii . I still think its really neat.
I think gojimi* already ported this in the themes n apps section.
http://vegantab.gojimi.com/downloads/
look on that page for 3d launcher v 1.0
hmmm, i'll have to look deeper.
As a side note, I pulled the zip from http://android.modaco.com/content/advent-vega-vega-modaco-com/329946/3d-desktop-plugin/#entry1567646 (backed up) and ran the bat after ADB found the device. it works like a champ. not customizable, but neat looking. It's worth a few moments as a diversion, but VTL.Launcher is still my fave
I guess i'm still looking for new and creative ways to brick my device. It didn't work this time, I'll have to try harder.
I assume this probably won't work on TNT then?
i dont see why not, it seems like another launcher.
Cool launcher but I would like to be able to change the apps on the dock. Until then. Back to VTL.
Its a very cool interface. Just seams like a demo though. Really like how it feels like a tablet interface should. Just wish you could change out links on the bottom bar. This is good progress for the future of tablets though. I really love vtl lately it will be my daily as soon as gingerbread gets hardware exceleration. Till then I'm sticking with beta 5.1.1 and launcher pro.
Is there a thread for this launcher in the themes and apps section? Did a search but I couldn't find it.

Yeah, I had to search to find it. I installed it last night using CM7, and it works fine.

Hey everybody, I have tried to search around and I have found no luck, but does anyone know if they have ported the sense ui and can you load it on the captivate? maybe a dumb question i dunno but i figured i would give it a try.
Not yet. Mostly everyone has been working on the gps issues and lag fixes.
just use Launcher Pro and then find a .apk file for fancy widget (a copy of the clock), it's not sense, but its much snappier than the stock captivate launcher and it has some HTC like widgets in the paid version, I find it very functional ^_^
Ive tried several different launchers including launcher pro but i found that i like adw launcher the best. You can download a sense theme for it from the market. I previously had samset 1.5 & 1.8 installed which includes the clock widget. After i synced to app brain i was able to reinstall it after i flashed a different rom. This is pretty much my ui of choice. It has been running great, plus you can enable horizontal swipe in the app drawer via adw settings which i find to work more smoothly. Hope that might have helped some for the time being.

Thank You! I too have been looking for a version of sense for the Captivate. This does a good job of pulling off the over all look and feel!
Another vote for the paid version of Fancy Widget. Very customizable and can be made to look just like Sense.
Sense UI isn't just a skin or launcher like TouchWiz. It actually replaces a lot of stuff in the ROM and has its own framework. You can't just "add" it to a ROM. It IS the ROM. I don't think you'll have it running on Galaxy S phone anytime soon.

Not working:
1.camera
2.phone service
3.HTC usb menu (can be fixed with a script made by dexter, and smali to some jar's)
4.Turning of the device
5.HTC's hibernate mode
6.Lockscreen( pressing power to bring the phone from standby will not get a lockscreen after like 5min, plug the device to usb cable and it should bring the lockscreen up)
7.Other things i might have forgotten.

You don't get it do you. I posted the link where this was being looked at. I never stated it worked. Don't be so hung up on being right when in fact you aren't. This question is unnecessary and will be locked by a mod because the question has been answered.
Thread Locked
Not sure if this has been shown or not, i just ran across it and its pretty cool. installs fine and only fc i noticed was if trying to make it default launcher, maybe someone can fig out a way to fix that. Anyways just fig id post it since i didnt c it on here yet. later, veritas
Wow, that was lagtastic for me. I also didnt appreciate how it arranged my apps in the drawer
really? that was my favorite part. when in the app drawer i hit menu>move i think, and it let me make a new group at the top and i put my 10-15 most used apps into to it so no more hunting. it wasnt launcher pro fast for me but i def didnt get any lag at all. I dont know maybe it will be a good starting point for something great. i just found the widgets for it and there kinda cool looking im mostly diggin on the notepad one, anyhows ill upload them just in case anyone wants em. later, veritas
edit: title should read poll, how did i mess that up? and now how do i fix it? mods?
edit: fixed, figured it out, im a newb to forums
i was poking around the evo forum for my friend and discovered miui. if you dont know it is a chinese rom that has been built for many snapdragon htc phones and translated into engrish.
it takes some of the better aspects of the iOS like the visually apealing menu skins and layouts and the thumbnail folder icons, has a dock much like iOS with drag and drop icons and no app drawer that can hold 5 apps.
apparently also has a secondary launcher that can come from the top of the screen presumably when you hit the home button that is like a standard android launcher.
has a unique app drawer that slides halfway down and tumbnails of the home screen pages pop up so you can move multiple apps to multiple screens without the drawer auto closing and a need to reopen for each app.
^this drawer is for widgets there is no app drawer, that can be fixed by putting apps in a folder and putting the folder on the launcher like an iphone.
it still has the android pull down notification bar and apparently has a scolling dock with toggles as well
i would love to see a port and some themes to go along with it. or a launcher/home app with some features borrowed.

some of the theming is a little odd and im alittle unsure if the screen space is enough for some of the features to be practical but it is interesting none the less.
also they have a browser that is apparently not with the rom that is said to be good.

I played with this rom on the Nexus, it's fantastic, extremely smooth, better battery then cyanogen, very nice overall feel.
I'd love to have this ported over to our galaxys
i love miui. i have i on my n1. my friend has a cappy, he would love to see it on the cappy. i was thinking about making a [idea] post in the dev forum. see if anyone has thought about it. i figure when froyo comes out for the cappy that there may be a port. i wish i knew how to dev for android.

i think the i-9000 guys are working it. i cant code, or dev. i dont like to make requests that i cant contribute to. i was just hoping if people see this then some of our devs might jump in. i think the great aosp work being done will help pave a road for this. but we dont even have a working true aosp rom yet. although designgears did get many aosp apps working in his dev rom.
if we could get some of the features even if we needed a samsung dialer and other apps a hybrid rom would be cool. the widget tray is a great idea. although i like the android app drawer, especially the galaxy s scrolling alphebetical list implementation (i can scan a column pretty good, i cant scan a page very good), this rom has features that i think would be great.
I want it ..
I want. Please.
First time I've been impressed by a launcher other than adw or launcher pro.
Very cool app drawer that you long hold to edit all the items in. You can then click the little x's to uninstall appear or move them around to your liking. There is a recent tab in the appear list. As well as a running tab with a kill all button and a kill each app manager.
It scrolls and transitions as smoothly as launcher pro. The desktop has a lot of neat features too. This is one you guys really need to try out. I dunno if it started as an adw knockoff because of the similar look or not. But it is really stable and really unique now.
Needs widget residing and scrollable widget support. But once it gets that it will definitely be the best on the market. And it has already taken over as the default on my phone.
Imma definitely be recommending it to friends and maybe do a writeup on evobenchers
Grab it on the market. Looks like they also male a pretty sweet sms apply that I'm trying out. All their file sizes are so small I love the low memory footprint of the launcher and the sms app. Keepers
defly a good look!! it's like a mashup of ADW, LauncherPro, and MIUIish, and add a little TouchWiz... I like! Very fast and ingenious
That launcher is slick! Thanks for the find!
Yea it does incorporate a lot of good ideas from them all. I hope launcher pro doesn't try to shut them down or anything since they are a payapp

Np dude. I figured if I just found it today then a lot of people didn't know about it. After all it must have been only a week ago I searched for "launcher" on the market to try out all the knew ones and didn't see this one for some reason. Maybe it is that new, I dunno.
Definitelyhad to spread the word though.
I do not know if anyone has already wrote this, i checked in search and i do not see it, but the new Regina Launcher works for the Gtab I downloaded today and it is really cool to have the 3D launcher and the best part is it is FREE!!!!
https://market.android.com/search?q=regina+3d+launcher&so=1&c=apps
Checked out a video of this launcher on YouTube and it looks really, really slick.
I have it on my galaxy S and it works pretty good. It's a bit sluggish but has a lot of potential. Hopefully they continue to improve it.
I'm not sure it would be all that good on a tablet though..
It does look really slick, and is quite smooth on my gtablet. But it's forced into portrait mode, no way to turn it to landscape
Will contact the developer, see what they say.
Yeah, that sucks, I suspect if more and more people let them know that it runs on the Gtab then they might make some teaks to it to run smoother and auto rotate. Just wanted others to know that there is some kind of alternative to the 15.00 SPB shell thats nuts! It is somewhat buggy though esp on reboot

What ROM's does it work with?
It should work on any rom. I tried it on CM7 and it was nice. Only portrait. When I viewed the drawer, it showed black squares instead of the applications that I had installed.

So vagen should work?
Yeah I posted the request on their Facebook fan page and they do not have any plans to implement landscape right now.
