This work was made before by OwenRW "http://android.modaco.com/content/advent-vega-vega-modaco-com/326120/3d-interface-working/

Here you will find the same plus 3D widgets and an easy way to install it.

Hi I bought a mobi's point of view tablet, for several days I was using its rom and I get used to the 3D desktop. Recently I switched to MoDaCo's rom and I have made a plugin to get this 3D desktop on that rom.

I hope it will be useful to you.

Install 3D Launcher APK if you want to use another launcher as default and use this one sporadically.

To install just unzip and execute the provided script like the MoDaCo's mod.

Here you have a great video courtesy of bearded1

Thanks iceman!

Yeah, a video is necessary as screenshots will not do it justice, you really need to see it in action!

OK, the interface is VERY flashy, I love the animations transitioning between the various music screens in particular. The Weather and RSS widgets are pretty cool too. Sadly, there are no customisation options so you are stuck with the basic layout, so no widgets, shortcuts, live wallpaper etc..

It's great to see something like this in action but sadly I will be only launching this to show off the device, back to LauncherPro for my day-to-day needs.

I've just installed this, and first impressions are good. However, there is only one home screen and it doesn't seem to be very customisable.

There are 3 main gadgets on the screen, News, Weather and Google Search, I cannot find a way of changing or adding to these.

At the bottom of the screen there are 8 items held in a kind of dock. These are Internet, Email, Music, Video, Gallery, Programs, Settings and User Guide. Each of these is linked to a default app and I cannot find a way of changing these. Also the User Guide icon does appear to do anything.

Currently there is no way to change that, I want to work on this and some other tweaks to the widgets. The last icon was linked to the point of view manual I didn't added it so it does nothing (can be added though).

Hehe, thanks for adding me into your first post ;)

It looks much better with the 3D widgets, although I'm still not convinced about the 3D app drawer.

Nice video!

I don't know if its just me or is that just very gimmicky with no substance still prefer Launcher Pro.

Plus you can't add widgets to it right?

Silly question but to uninstall all i have to do is just go through the normal process? i.e. settings... applications... manage apps??

This may not be the easiest or recommended way of installing, but I just downloaded direct to the Vega and then opened the zip file in Astro and installed each component in the 'files' folder individually. Reason I did this was that I was not near a PC at the time, but it worked for me.

Just install like any other apparently then press home to use it.

I posted about this a while back. Lot's of eye candy but low functionality. You're stuck with those home pages (or at least the settings are extremely well hidden). The app drawer also looks cool but is way to difficult to navigate through quickly.

the interesting thing about the video was that i initially tried it with a mouse so there were no fingers in the way.. the mouse was at 90 degrees and only moved around in the left hand side of the screen though.

not sure if thats the launcher or the accelerometer fix causing it - i'll have to test!
