SPB launcher on stock galaxy tab WOW! - Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps

Are tired of waiting for samsung to update us all to honeycomb haha! If so check out the spb 3d launcher it is great, very smooth screen transitions like honeycomb or touchwiz, it has an option that lets you turn all your panels into a spining circular tray with a true 3d look and feel. I would suggest you take a look at the many youtube videos that are out there. Also there is a experimental option included that creates true 3d on your device, require those 3d glasses to experience it. And yes it cost $15 but worth it!

It is certainly good for eye candy and feels very smooth. But after using it for a day or so, you get bored with all the glitter and it slows down the tab within a few hours of use. It does also reduce the battery life a bit.

I hear you, hey I have a launcher for all occasions its a good departure from the norm.

The original one is totally magnificent there is an option for seeing both in tablet or mobile mode of launcher

Was not really comparing honeycomb directly with spd 3d, but I hear what you are saying.

Dont drain the battery?
Pd: sorry my english

I have not noticed that it drains the battery quickly, so far its a good launcher.

I uninstalled it from my Tab; it was mostly eye candy. The Go Launcher works better for me. However, there are some widgets in the spb shell that i really liked! I wished i could use these in Go Launcher.

Agreed -- the birthday widget was quite cool, but not enough to part with my beloved Go Launcher

It's very cool and very fast. But there are a few things I would like to see changed:
- I can't change the size of the widgets. For instance, I can't put the Sense Analogue Clock in the middle of the screen
- I can't put a widget or quick link on more pages, just on one
- I can't put bookmarks directly on a screen, just through the bookmark widget.
- you can add only 3 different locations to the globe/world time widget
Or maybe I haven't found out yet how to do that?

I bought SPB for my Photon and recently installed it on my Sprint Tab and really like it on there!! I like it much better than ADW Launcher.

love it - thank 4 upload

Can I use custom icons with it? (never even used ADW)
Can I enable 7 screens like LPP?
Does it have scrollable widgets like LPP's facebook?
Can I change what the icons open?
I'm definitely considering buying this, I just need to know a few basic things before I do y'know? Sorry if these questions sound stupid.
Yes you can use custom icons. Long press and icon you want to change and off you go. Was never really keen on using ADW till now, easily trumps LP IMO and worth the $$$.

What about the more screens and scrollable widgets?
Edit: I got it. removed a lot of my icons and widgets from my homescreen so i just removed it. didn't feel like putting them back. the transitions were cool though. i may re-download another time when i am really bored.
even the free ADW is on a higher level of customization than launcher pro plus
I'm loving the Ex version thanks OP!
There's almost too much to customize! Lol

I couldn't get it to layer widgets (unless it's an undocumented feature of the paid version), so I'm sticking with LPP.

You have to enter ADW Settings to get to your system settings. Very unintuitive.
I've bought both EX and LPP. The eye candy of EX is nice, but LPP is a touch more refined as of right now in terms of practicality.

Just thought I would throw this up..

youll need to switch launchers. The phone comes loaded with Touchwiz, which is where all the colorful icons come from. the launcher is the "mechanism" they controls which icons and widget sets the phone uses, and also how the app drawer looks and works. the most popular downloadabe launcher is called LauncherPro, and its available from the market for free. Aftermarket launchers can be much faster and highly customizable. Once you installed your launcher of choice, then youll have to start finding replacement clocks and things like that.
The clock im using is called Bob3d, if you google it, it will take you to the thread on Xda of the guy who created the clock, and the weather stream at the bottom of mine is called minimalist text, which is also free from the market.
try out battstatt and tajim also, they are nice clean looking battery percentage and time widgets. hope this gives you some direction!
That looks really slick. I just downloaded SPB Shell 3D last night. Very fluid and no lag on my SGS4G. So far I really like it even though it's a bit high on price. But it has so much customization options.

the launcher im using is adw launcher ex ,the program i used to change my battery icons and wifi along with signal was ninjamorph. i took a themed frame work from my g2,took the icons i used for the battery,signal and wifi and took them out and used ninjamorph to push them into my framework, if this sounds too confusing,its new to me too..im a newb at this..it was just something i was toying around with. The battery stats are not accurate, i used the theme blue rover that can be flashed using the tmobile theme app that does not come with our phone.
I also used root explorer to change the lcd density of my screen from 240 to 200. Gives a cleaner look..

[App] Honeycomb Launcher PLUS

Hello,
We are making another update for Honeycomb Launcher. As many of you may know, it suddenly disappeared from the Android Market. But you can thanks Google for that... Anyways, we are going to upload it again because Google didnt like ICS not HCL.
In version V1.7.0.0 the launcher became alot smoother and a whole lot less FC's occured since we rebuilt the launcher. But now we want to make another update and we want to add more features/add ons. Now we are making a standard version and a PLUS version. I know some of you may not like this, but dont worry! HCL standard will remain the same and nothing will be taken out. HCL Plus (+) will have more to it such as add ons. But we are not sure what you all want!
We are wondering what "you" want in it! Such as pre installed apps, more wallpapers, and tweaks...
What do you want us to add? If you want your wallpaper to be in the launcher, just post it here and we will include it with your name so it shows as yours
Thanks,
Team Syndicate

APEX launcher for ICS

Well now that we are all comfy with our new ICS phones, let's talk launchers.
While I kinda liked blur home from 2.3.6, I am not super pleased with ICS' home.
But fear not, Check out apex launcher! IMO it's a lot like LauncherPro but for ICS, You get the scrolling dock (I've always loved that), sweet window transitions, and scrollable widget support (a must for me). Also for root users (and which of us aren't rooted? lol), you can drag and drop widgets on and off of your homescreen. Not to mention have them overlap if necessary.
I'm loving it! Find it in the play store:HERE.
Find the Pro version unlock in play store: HERE.
How to use Moto stock widgets on other launchers?
Unfortunately certain widgets just won't come up on non-stock launchers. Such as quick contacts. They will only work on the stock home. I personally know no way of making them work.
thats what im using! also tried nova launcher as well but i like this one better. love the scrolling dock...keeps my screen uncluttered.

Do any of you guys have problems with launchers affecting your battery? I have installed many launchers (GoLauncher, Launcher Pro), and while they look nice and are customizable, my battery always seems to suffer...went from like 16 hours medium usage to like 13, with no other changes besides adding the launchers.

Hey guys, heres a question that i'm pretty sure most of you guys always wondered,
What is the best launcher for your phone?
theres always options like apex, nova, and holo, and comments like how they're buttery smooth..
i've had many devices and i found that apex's scrolling has slight lag and icon loading when you come back to home, nova is smooth MOST of the time(which means it does lag sometimes), and holo is like a mixture of the two.
I hated sense for its appearance, but always ended up going back to sense because sense launcher is the smoothest of the four.., the scrolling is buttery just like an iphone/ipod, if you guys ever compared
So I've found a fix for all of that, ZEAM LAUNCHER. Zeam has not lagged at all since i've downloaded it, its scrolling is smooth, and snappy. I dont see any lag or low fps scrolling at all on it. AND it has the pure android look! Finally a launcher i'm satisfied with
so try it out, test the scrollings, compare it to your current launchers, tell me what you guys think about ZEAM launcher
PS was running cleanrom 5.0 and now running Viper 2.0, STILL best launcher!
Remember to click thanks if I made your phone faster

I always end up back at Sense for the reasons you mentioned. I will give this one a shot.

I do like the smoothness and stuff... but its too gingerbread-ish for me... I find the paid version of holo launched HD (plus) is my top launcher. Especially how you can control scrolling speed of homescreen and drawer. Good find though bro.

Launcher pro is awesome! Been using it for a month. Haven't had any problems. Second favorite is smart launcher. Love the automatic categories. Unique launcher but still needs some work.

Zeam is old school.

Lol, it won't be getting any work. The dev abandoned it over a year ago!

Yeah LP hasn't had any updates forever. Lol. Smart launcher is fairly new. Pretty sure the developers haven't abandoned it.

yeah the reason why i didnt mention launcher pro, adw, and go launcher is because they're more for the gingerbread era, 2.2/2.3 ish
to me, zeam is like the "launcher pro", of ics, simple, quick, clean.
Gave it a whirl, and call me weird, but I really like Sense.

best not .... when i use another launcher is nova hands down the best imho
I'm also back to sense now, but I might try something else when I'll get bored. Haven't tried zeam since the vivid days, but I'll give it a go on hox, to see what's going on. I remember it's simplistic look though.

apex or nova for me. i've been using the free version of apex for over a month and haven't seen any lag or anything that would be disappointing. same with nova when I tested that out.
our phones are fast (even unrooted), they don't need a launcher built for slow/old phones to keep the lag away.
