Re: Why use SPB Mobile shell with custom roms out?
I have been using SPB Mobile since v1. They made a leap in V2 in good direction. 3.0 was avesome and I used it on my Touch Pro with no option in my mind. I always found HTC Touch Flo is cumbersome. What is the point of having all those kind of different screens for every application?
Anyway, 3.5 bring some very nice goodies such as tasks and some completely bogus features such as 3D Mail viewer. There was a huge problem with 3.5: Perf. The UI responsiveness was significanly down comparable to 3.0.
Now I use SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 on NagaRom. NagaRom is really good because I don't get any HTC software there. In any case, SPB Mobile breaks the HTC Dialer, the only HTC useful component.
For the moment, I enjoy the flexibility and the beauty of SPB Mobilr 3.5 but still curse on the perf everyday. I hope 4.0 would be all about perf and UI customization.
