SPB 3D Launcher On GTAB?

Anyone try this? The full version launched today looks awesome! I got the APK but I am still waiting for my gtab, installing on phone now =D

For wat its worth, I installed it on my Incredible and pretty much ruined my phone. All I got was a black screen and I had accidentally clicked the box saying "Use SPB3D everytime" so I couldn't get around it. Luckily I had a nandroid backup...

Tried on my GTAB even though the page on the Android market says tablets are not supported..
And yeah.. no go..
It also didn't work with my Nexus One.
Bummer I was waiting for this to come out.
=o(
Edit: See post #6

no go for me as well...

I used SPB aoftware previously, and loved their UI. As far as this new 3D launcher, SPB noted that they do not support tablet platform.

It Does Work on the GTAB (sorta)
This is a demo video of SPB Shell 3D Beta
This is a modified fixed version for incompatible devices
I HAVE TO STRESS THIS NOW!, I DO NOT CONDONE SOFTWARE PIRACY!
I bought the paid version for my N1 and it didn't work at first but my 15 mins expired so I wound up keeping it. I flashed CM7RC4 and tried it again and it worked so I'm happy about that.
But the curiousity was killing me so I had to try it out on the GTAB
Sorry about the wobbly video, I used my N1 to record.
The launcher does have its drawbacks:
I have yet to explore the launcher completely so there may be more drawbacks I haven't discovered yet but it does not support live wallpaper and it does support auto rotate while in desktop mode
So there you have it.. It does work on the GTAB.. sorta!

Uhmmm? Yeah, that's me...

The interface looks kinda cool. I don't know how functional it is or if I would use it though.
How did you get it to work on the Gtab in any case?
I had no luck with vegan 5.5.1 and Clemsin's kernel.

After getting the apk file on my device.
I closed all data connections (Wi-Fi, 3G, 2G, EDGE) all outside internet connections.
Installed the apk. After installation was done I pressed the home key.
A dialog window popped up asking which launcher I wanted to use.
I chose SPB.
The software proceeded to load.
A dialog window popped saying the software was not activated and would I like to activate it now?. I chose Yes.
Since there was no connection to the internet activation skipped an it proceeded to finish loading the software.
A dialog window popped up saying my device was not supported.
I pressed ok and it closed ( it went back to ADW-EX )
I powered down completely, then started my device.
Upon completion of startup I slid the unlock key and a dialog window popped asking what launcher I wanted to use. I chose SPB.
With all data connections still closed the activation window popped up again.
I chose yes, the software loaded and another dialog window popped saying my device was unsupported.
I waited a few minutes before pressing the OK box (around five minutes)so the software can continue to load in the background.
I checked the OK box and Bingo.. my desktop had SPB loaded and working,
the process is tedious I know..
Just to point out I take NO CREDIT for this. I found the fixed apk floating around the web with instructions on how to install and decided to give it a try.
And again I need to stress this out.. I DO NOT CONDONE SOFTWARE PIRACY!
I tried to find the site with the instructions but it was apparently pulled yesterday shortly after I got SPB working.

Works for my incredible.
Drawbacks
1. Non-rotating
2. Icons automatically move up. Meaning you can't place them anywhere.
3. No 4x4 weather unless you use the panel one.
4. Can't resize anything.
5. Other things I'm sure, but I'm at work so I had to make this post snappy.

That's cool, but I think this thread is about seeing if the Launcher works on the GTAB.

I think it only works on hdpi devices. Don't work on my friends zoom or my wife's aria

That's a good point, I'm not exactly sure if the gtab is HDPI or MDPI (mdpi I think), but I did manage to get it working on mine so I'm very happy about that.
Checkout the youtube video on post #6

seem nice, but too pricey, SPB used to be good on wince, they can make great app but 15$ without at least a trial is a no go for me...

There are actually several different names out there for the modified apk but the one I can remember off the top of my head was Spb_Shellfix.apk from "mydroid.info".

I just bought/downloaded this right from the Market and it's freaking beautiful and works great. Running Vegan Ginger. Maybe newer versions are more tablet-friendly?

No, but I don't like using my tablet in landscape anyway because of the poor viewing angle, so that works out well for me. I don't think SPB Shell runs in landscape anywhere, though - does it?

Netflix for android

So it appears that Netflix has finally been released for us, except it is currently not compatible with our phones. It seems to currently only be available for 2.3 devices and 1 other 2.2 phone. Can someone with cm7 running see if they can download this and share a link. Its free so it shouldn't be considered warez
I've been KANGBANGED!!!!!

It's not available in the market for CM7.

My bro with the EVO 4G (one of few devices its ok on) has CM7 and downloaded it just fine from market.
I have a thread in Q&A asking for apk for this new release and I have found an old version and a new version. Check thread for links.

I just flashed jt's latest release, and it is not in the market but I got it from a site and installed it. logged in tried to play something and it just says your device is not supported.

Confirmed over in the Nook forum that a Build.prop spoof is all that is needed. I'm at work but anyone care to try and post your results?

Tried the build prop by pass.
Downloaded the current one off the market. App closes after sign in. But u don't get the unsupported device error.
Seems like it requires gingerbread.

I didn't copy the whole build prop.
Just from the model to brand samsung.
That causes unsupported device error.
And when signing in closes app as well.

And for those who asked, I can download it just fine with Kaos's CM7, but it just says it's not supported. Need to bypass or spoof or something. From what I've read in the past netflix is requiring DRM support in the processors or something, I don't know. I'm not the biggest developer so I couldn't tell ya, just passing along what I read. I know the snapdragons have DRM Keys in the processor, that's why they are the first to get it. I think the TI OMAP Does too, so motorola phones will probably be next. I have no idea of our hummingbird does. But seeing how the Nexus S has it, if our processor doesn't then odds are something in gingerbread supports it, emulation or something? I don't know, I'm not a dev.

Mostly everyone has pretty much agreed that this is probably a software limitation, as it isn't limited by carrier or processor (Nexus S & Moto Droids), as we believed to be the case.

Well technically everything is a software issue when you get down to it. It's what controls the hardware.

Tried the build.prop file edit and it still gets the device not supported block.
Not sure what it is but, I'll keep looking.
btw, have latest apk and flash 10.3.

No dice
I tried the build.prop spoof and I get to the sign-in screen just fine, but then it crashes after I enter my username/password.

I did the build.prop edit (to a HTC Vision) and got the video to open without getting the "device not supported" error. Edit: I had to use Root Explorer to edit the file, Astro wouldn't save the changes to build.prop
Once the video opened it played one second of audio and then got a f/c. I'm running Jt's CM7 alpha v3 - so it might be similar to the other video codec issues with the ROM?

No go on community rom with nexus s build prop
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App

I changed my build.prop to show that I have an incredible but then it froze on video playback. I think when streaming it is checking for DRM keys. Similar to how dish network does, sound is not encrypted but video probably is? I think it's going to need more than a simple build.prop hack.
But as I said in my last post, I'm not a developer. We can spoof all day but without the keys or some sort of DRM emulation I don't think we're going to get video.

Modified the build.prop, which allowed me to install it from the market, but closes after sign -in.
Will try to post a logcat later, if there is any developer interest.

The Cortex-A8 has DRM, so it wouldn't be hard to generate the keys for that.

Have they yet released Netflix for a Tegra2 device? That will probably be when we can expect a port.

saw people were having luck with spoofing the i.d. of their device to a compatible device to trick netflix into working.
It installed fine and brings up my instant queue and such, just won't play them. Gives me a "your device is not currently supported".
Haven't had time to install the custom ROM and delve into those things yet, maybe next week I will.

I tried with all the values mentioned in that thread. Still no dice and changing all these to "vision" will FC Swype. even after changing build.prop back.

Swype back after cache and dalvik wiped. I'm noticing most with unofficial devices are having luck w/ cyanogen roms.

I have the LG G2X phone which is a tegra 2 and netflix is working for me just fine.
I made only two changes to the build.prop. but it only ran when I had CM 7 installed. Not when I had stock froyo. I just tried with the streak 7 and it looks like it starts to play but then exits.. It's also not working on the asus transformer with the build.prop

weird that it works on an asop rom.

Stupid question, Cause I have a G1 and a HD2 which can run android. Think either of these would be able to be used to test if this works? Or would it be pointless.

Im running Netflix now on my HTC Aria running FR008 Rom. bet it works on yours too!

The hd2 can run netflix fine as long as you use the nexus one based builds. I run it without a problem. The Hd2 has been able to run netflix using windows phone 7 since windows phone 7 was able to be ran on it.

Thanks, Upgraded from Superram to the Nexus GB rom, Got it on my HD2 now. =)
Now just to wait on Dell.... sending my streak 7 in to get rid of this random menu/keyboard poping up issue Ive been having. Then hopefully things work 100% stable.

What are you guys using for a prop editor and where can I get it?

[Q] Netflix possible on Hero?

I'm not requesting this or anything; I'm just curious. Would it be possible to make Netflix work on our phone? Or what is it about our phones that makes it not work?
Thanks.

Whoa. Is netflix even on the android yet? Because that would be sweet.

Yeah it is, you can find the apk on XDA, but videos won't play on the Hero...you can browse the instant play queue, but that's it. I am trying a few of the widely talked about edits to spoof it into playing but no go on the Hero yet.
Tried:
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
and
ro.product.model=Nexus S
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
Neither worked for me...I get to where the video will appear to be loading, then the app kicks back to the main screen.

you would need flash 10 for netflix to dont u or do they have it mobile formated now.

I believe it's mobile formatted...it plays fine on my iPod Touch...

That's what I was thinking about trying too. I'm thinking the app itself needs to be changed somehow, but I'm a newb so it's just a guess. I don't know if it's even possible to do that.

just becarefull when your modding apks because everyone got into trouble for fixing angry birds awhile back my suggestion is if you get it working keep it for yourself. and dont distrebute it on xda.

Yeah Nexus One has been tried...not by me, but others who haven't been able to get it working.

I hope we won't get into trouble. I would imagine they would praise the mod since it'll allow pre-existing customers to access their paid service account.

^^^^^DOES NOT WORK^^^^^

im pretty confident it will not work on the hero ever same reason as flash, i know they said they would only be supporting new snapdragon processors due to some sort of DRM compliance
i am also pretty sure that it needs an ARMv7 processor for some sort of hardware acceleration much the same way flash does, so its going to be more than just some build prop edits
best chance of it working
drm.apk from evo
build.prop edit
alot of luck

That's what I've gotten so far. I only used the method in the description, and I posted above.
It just uploaded, so I don't know if it's public yet.

i almost wonder if it has something to do with it not really having a GPU thats all excuses though i honestly thought it was cause by what i posted so this is awesome proof of concept guys keep up the good work

Trying the Optimus' way now. Hopefully it'll work. I'd love to have this on my phone, even though it will overheat the heck out of my battery .
By the way, I'm on AOSPCMOD 4/29, and it worked with AOSP's other ROM for the Optimus V. But then again, they have a working screen on-off animation, and we don't .

That I am pretty sure is because of the gpu esp for how choppy they were when they do work

I run on Custom 2.2.2, as well. Some of us need our device bug free; Honeycomb looks great (and performs great; I did run it on my S7 for a little bit), but HoneyStreak still has some bugs to iron out. It's a great beta, though, and shows a lot of promise.

Just grabbed this app, actually found a link on xda to download it, loaded fine on my DS7 stock and just watched a 2 hour movie with no issues...awesome!

Nah - I'm happy with honeystreak 1.5 - challenging - I like fixing bugs and figuring out why it doesn't work and try to fix it - it makes it so much more special when it works...besides if I wanted a "bug free device" I would stick to my ipad 2 but its boring - I'm actually using dell streak 7 more than my ipad 2 jailbroken etc etc -
Like I said on this website - no need the app since you can go view it on the website unlike netflix which also works on honeycomb 1.5
Peace out!

I have DS7 with latest Official rom, could get Crackle to side load from link above, but only get black screen when try to play --
any thoughts?

Android 3.x ??
Does anybody know of an updated app that will work with stock Android 3.0.x?
I am wondering if I install the apk from the above link if 'Market' will still update to newer version as is currently happening on my Android 2.0.x device.
>>UPDATE>> As others the 'Crackle' app (from the link above) will only play audio, its a shame that we can not get a working version.
And its a shame the only true streaming media company is 'NETFLIX' currently
As my "UV" moives / media will not stream through 'Flixster'... and yet the streak has higher spec's than the devices that they do support!
