Guest philly-d Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 SPB Mobile Shell Version 3.5 has just launched. Over the years it has been one of the most popular replacement user interfaces (UI) and even comes pre-installed on some devices. We knew it was coming soon due a premature review that was out yesterday, but now it's official! There's a review here, official video preview on and with it running on the Omnia II I8000 I like the overall look, especially the 3D SMS/Email widgets, but was looking forward to fuller Twitter and Facebook integration a la HTC Sense. Maybe they are saving that for 4.0! So head on over to the SPB Software site for more product info, purchase for $29.95, or download 15 day trial. Thanks to carmod over on our Samsung forum for the News! [Via pocketnow and wmexperts] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shantul Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Loving it so far. Except that I cannot get the sensor supported carousel animation and can't read the messages in the new 3D SMS view? I have an Omnia i900. Any ideas?

Guest edgoggin Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Looks nice, but rather difficult to choose between it and wm6.5. WM6.5 is faster and ties up less memory. Definitely more finger friendly but..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lantony Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 works fine on my Omnia i900, very fast as well. I can see the 3d carousel and 3d sms/mail animations but they dont look as good as in the official video. Also gforce support for carosel doesnt work at all. Doesnt work even on Omnia II ! Is there any hack to enable it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rado Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 (edited) Just upgraded on my HTC Touch Diamond, and 3.5 somehow feels more responsive than 3.0? Maybe it's just a feeling, but it really does feel faster. Also I'm glad it doesn't seem to consume more RAM than 3.0. The 3D carousel works with G-Sensor, though I'm not sure about the usability of this, other than to show off to your friends. :) The 3D SMS view is a nice thing - actually the only thing I missed from Touch Flo 3D. But here the 3D animation is less smooth. It's not bad, but not as smooth as in Touch Flo 3D. I also liked the simple style of Touch Flo 3D SMS view - just plain white letters on dark background.
