Guest wellibob Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/05/app-rev...3d-for-android/ This looks nice... don't know if it works on the Vega though. Also $15 which is a bit steep I tried this sdp new 3d shell. Whilst it ran on my Galaxy S phone ok`ish, on the vega, it force closes. Its pretty, but you do need a super speed phone to run it at its best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PurpleRob Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 It says that its not tablet compatible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lennyuk Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Its a nice gimmick, it seems more suited to be sold to a carrier as a stock launcher.... its not worth the £10 at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ViPaSoft Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Used an earlier version on my old windows phone and it was brilliant. It didn't seem to slow down the phone at all and had lots of widgets built in. I used it for a couple of years and was looking forward to giving it a go on my Vega, but they decided to make it non-tablet compatible, which seems a strange route to take with all the current interest in tablet computers.

Guest Disinform Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 I just tried this again, if anyone's interested, on the CM7 beta build, and it runs quite nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Disinform Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) Does it have landscape support yet? Nope. Doubt that's going to be around for a while, if ever - seems pretty much portrait oriented, been running it on my Streak for a week now and can't see how you'd get it working in landscape without making it look awful. Still I love my Vega in portrait, gives it a bookish feel. Edited April 6, 2011 by Disinform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this ever happens though is another matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Minimonkey Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 This looks pretty cool would like support for tablets, but the price is too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest newbe5 Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 This looks pretty cool would like support for tablets, but the price is too high. It's not really designed for tablets at all, even if it worked, the UI just isn't the best layout and would waste a lot of space on the larger screens. They will know this, which is why they won't be spending too much time developing this for tablets tbh. It's great on a phone when you can flash it to your friends down the pub, but how many of you take your tablet to the pub? Seems they should have been pitching this at a manufacturer to have it bundled on phones... Maybe they did but it fell flat? Who knows? newbe5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SeiferTV Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) Maybe should try Regina Launcher. it's free, it runs on the vega, and offers a lot of cool features :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXhtxecPHr8 Edited April 19, 2011 by SeiferTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what I do (settings GSensor, Spare Parts etc) I can't get it into Landscape. Didn't see anything cool in the video, what's it got then?

Didn't see anything cool in the video, what's it got then? Cheers lol! For some reason I've never tested on landscape, and no, it doesn't switch to landscape ( not my default launcher, I'm using VTL ) On the plus side for this Launcher: Individual wallpapers for each desktop, cool consistent-looking widgets ( can be downloaded separatedly from the market ) , VERY fluid and the eye candy doesn't look like it's overcrowding the screen. You can also place the icons without following a strict grid as every other launcer I've seen before. It's actually well implemented, but that landscape issue is a big buzzkill.
