i would imagine you would be able to in the video its just like buying an app.

Looks like it was inspired by WinMo. But I like it a lot more than the current layout

Just installed it and it is working fine.
Here is the thread it is in. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15597625#post15597625

Its working fine for me but I just don't know about it, it almost feels sluggish after playing with it I kind of like the old ui better
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

yea the new market feels sluggish, as for the ui look it is nice and different.

Downloaded the new market last night and installed it on my Hero. I love the new look and it moves and processes much quicker for me. Everything working great HERE!!

Installed and loving it. A little sluggish but quite functional. Maybe it could be included in the CM nightlies (well after a bit of testing)?

the market should just update itself over time for devices on 2.2 and up.

The new market is the shiznit. If someone wants the old one (and can't use the search button) I stil have the transparent BG green 2.3.6 that pendo made.

i actually liked the original 1.5 blacked out market lol.

Not a big fan of the new market ... not 100% sure why, the layout seems a little weird to me

Probably a clever launcher/theme to make it look like that. IIRC the IOS keyboard doesn't look like that.

The ios keyboard does look like that, that is the same keyboard, very impressive.
This has what to do with Nexus One? This should have been posted in the forum where trashed posts go.

Link dead?
It's a mobile link. Here's one for desktops:

Well the wallpaper scrolls with the screen so its definitely a theme, runs pretty smooth though.
The description states it is not a port, it is a replica of the iOS that is nearly identical but has some issues. This is a fantastic job, but ultimately sort of pointless.
pretty good replica.
may impress some of the iDiots.
Also, if I recall from my 3GS... When you access spotlight, the rest of the screen darkens... other than that and scrolling wallpaper, it looks to be a pretty acurate replica.
Really, though, the only use I would have for iOS on my Android is - to run the few apps that still haven't been built for Android. And no amount of skinning is going to make an iClone run those apps

The New Market.apk

I am running Sprint Lovers Latest ROM and just installed the new Market. It seems to be working just fine and it looks a lot better. Here is the .apk file it is just an update so if it doesnt work you can always uninstall the update.
wicked! running fresh 3.4 and works great.
cheers!
Keep getting an error trying to install on CM6.1

Works great with myns 2.2. I do miss the black theme though. Thanks for the apk.
Think I'll wait for Google to upgrade my phone. Why do it? If I wait then it's Google's gig and phone.
Another myn user. Works great.

Cosmetic changes that really make it less functional, and more cluttered, than before.

I agree, I don't like the setup though.
I think the tabs are much more clean of a design instead of scrolling forever.
Upgraded for cm6.1 and its working like a champ.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
yea, this top half green graphic feels like a curtain/blinds that just wont go up.
at any given time you can see 4-5 apps, then you have to scroll. i rather have 6-7 apps viewable than all that extra **** at the top.
i guess i'll get used to it, it looks great though!

Nexus S 3D Interface

I don't think I have noticed this posted anywhere yet...
take a look at this UI (homescreen replacement?) soon to be released on Android:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ys7gua-noOE
it's buttery smooth!
i think shells suck..spb on my nexus?no i had it on p3300 a few years ago..
I'd definitely use this.
yeah ..i'd like to use that too ...
what really caught my attention was that the transitions and animations were silky smooth -- to the point that I doubted whether the video was 'real', or if it was just computer generated imagery!
Certainly impressive, but it's a bit overdone in my opinion. When every single element is glassy with gradients and reflections etc it really makes it look cluttered.
Personally I'd like to see more black in these interfaces, running a SAMOLED screen the black just merges into the bezel beautifully, giving the impression that there are no edges.
But as said above, I'm impressed at how smoothly it runs, considering I sometimes get stuttery animations on the standard interface.
That is really nice looking. Was that a stock android ROM or a new interface?

Yeah I signed up to beta test this a while ago, but wasn't picked. It looks really cool and all, and I would definitely try it out, but it might be a little much for standard everyday use. Maybe not..guess we'll see. It would definitely be useful to show off my nexus s to people lol

i don't think it's an entire rom ... it's probably just a UI shell ..an 'add-on' that sits on top of the standard rom ..
not sure though .. we'll have to wait until it releases to the public

Nexus S - cm7
Been using this for a couple of days and really loving it. I initially thought it was a bit overdone too but it actually works. I can totally use this as a daily driver.
Lucky enough to be chosen for the beta. Not sure if I'm allowed to share the APK. If someone can clarify that for me then I'll gladly post it.
I've been using it for awhile now, too. It has been my daily launcher since I got it. Very smooth.

How about battery draining?
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk
Battery drain is very minimal. I installed this over CM7 and the stats read that currently it's using 3%.
Don't think you're gonna notice any sort of decrease at all.

Hm. I got crashes when I first started using it awhile ago, but those have been cleared up, it seems.
What build is the one you are using?
Looks really interesting. Was playing with it for a while. Might try it again when I have more time tomorrow. But looks promising.

I use it... very responsive and the best looking Home replacement if you ask me. I don't have any problems with it and it seems super fast on my phone.

I've never used it on the Atrix. Bought it when it came out. but it just drained my Desire!
Plus i have always prefered a more stock look. But no denying its really smooth and has fantastic looks.
I use it as well, i like the look of it, it really has some cool eye candy. I haven't noticed too much of a battery drain, wish it had some more widgets though
I have been using it March. I have no complaints. I switch launchers from time to time to try something else but I always come back to sod shell 3d. Espierlauncher is the only other launcher I like on the atrix and I use that to make my wife and friends mad since they all have iPhones. I am running. CM7 and I don't see any extra battery drain with this launcher. Assonance as they make it available for tablets my eeepad will be running it

Today's updated added support for tablets! Looks and runs great on my GTab 10.1
I have it and like it but not as much as the cheaper launchers

It sucks. It randomly closes and then when hitting home button has to reload. Too bad because everything else works top notch and its amazing looking.

I used it way back when I had Windows Mobile and I loved it, but for some reason I don't feel it's the same on Android.
Don't get me wrong, it runs good on the Atrix, but it feels like overkill for a launcher.
Maybe if it had more useful widgets I would give it another try.
I always come back to Launcher Pro.
PS. Btw, it's real name is SPB Mobile Shell 3D ;-)

I've been using it on nd off cause it have to freeze my market to use it, its OK but does need more of its own customization and that price is not gettin paid by me lol got the Google search discount

Lol not wise to advertise "google search discount"

Oh well I did. I'm not paying 15$ for a launcher regardless specially this one its got a few nice Widgets yea true but wat is so special that makes it cost 3-4x as much as others ?
Sent from my Atrix-4G, stock 2.3.4 (rooted)
I'd like to try it, but I could never justify $15.00 for a home replacement launcher or almost anything in the app market.
It is a nice launcher, but how customizable it isn't keeps me from using it regularly. Not to mention it frequently crashes with no error, just a black screen then says 'SPB shell is loading...' Navigation and transitions are generic and redundant in some cases. Most of the SPB widgets look nice, but leave a lot to be desired. Updates are infrequent and all the major problems have yet to be resolved.
Its a nice product to demonstrate a futuristic-looking phone but in terms of functionality, it's like putting the steering wheel in the glovebox of a car.
If you haven't checked out Go Launcher recently, I highly encourage it. 100% free, developers update the app at a feverish pace, and it is amazingly customizable.

Claystone Launcher

Anyone play with this yet? I tried it the other night and found it really interesting. Seems like it has a lot of potential and actually feels like getting a completely different phone.

It looks pretty cool. I haven't tried it but I think I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the post.

Yeah, I was using the previous version for awhile, love the completely unique setup and 3D effect... but I was having some stability issues (fcs, issues with the backup/restore function crashing, etc). The great thing, though, is that they are really responsive in that thread to any issues I had, and they seem to have worked hard to resolve the stability issues with the latest release, I've been thoroughly impressed. Once they release the new version they mention without the intrusive title bars, I'll definitely be giving it a shot again.
I have used it quit a bit it looks good and works
