Has anyone tried out Regina 3D Launcher?

Looks pretty slick - wonder how it performs...

Just checked it out - looks great, performs well. Only thing that annoys me is no way to put more than two apps in the dock. Otherwise, really like it.
 
does anyone know any good train apps. All the ones i've tried are pretty poor and the ones at the top are about £3-4 :o

Ive got Train times UK. Paid for it but defently worth the money. Half the time it updates faster than the London bridge boards for platforms!

Can also have favourite journey's which is useful
 
Regina runs like a dog on my Spica lol

Looks great, just takes about three or four swipes to change screens... then it changes screen three or four times at once - and so it continues lol

It is very basic in terms of features as said before - every launcher I use now falls short of ADW-EX as none have the option of a hidden, scrollable dockbar - I absolutely LOVE that feature! Especially as my phone only has a 3.2" screen, dropping the dockbar gives me the option to have a 5x7 screen rather than 5x5 (as 5x6 doesn't fit properly with the dock)

I can't wait for ADWLauncher2 to get realeased - I have a copy of the early alpha release that I got from XDA before it got pulled from the site - it's a real early version with next to no features but the features it DOES have are really cool - like a link to the market page for the app/widget in the long-press menu :) - hopefully it'll be out soon!

There is another thread about it,

But has anyone tried the Google+ app?

On my SanFran it runs smooth as silk, and it also does on my tablet.

My gripe is that on a huge screen like the tablet, there is little to be desired for such a well-integrated application, lots of empty space and not much content to fill the gaps.

I suspect once testing has finished and Google are happy with it, they will spruce up the application a little bit, hopefully anyhow.

Also i think its stupid Photobucket haven't released a tablet optimized application yet :) It always makes the app on my tablet go to phone resolution, gets on my nerves.
 
I think Facebook have been very sneaky with the latest 1.6 release of their Android application.

I noticed that upon first launching the application, the wall post section looked the same as previous versions but upon going back into the application, the layout of the wall posts were very different.

For example, friend avatars were smaller, picture thumb nails for content being posted was much larger, the comment/like information was on a baby clue backfround and there's also a blue + button which loads a hovering menu to add a comment or like a post when you click on it.

I also noticed when clicking on news feed, another window will launch extremely quickly and come into focus and recently, the wall post section of the application appears to get stuck in a refresh loop. This is confirmed by other comments on the App Market.

I decided to try the touch.facebook.com website, the same refresh bug exists and the layout is exactly as described above. So the 1.6 Facebook application appears to be just a wrapper for touch.facebook.com, at least for the news feed section.... pretty poor, I always remember the iOS Facebook application being very reliable and stable and we're talking 18+ months ago.

I agree, I think it's pretty terrible tbh. I seem to have a bug sometimes where it refreshes the feed but then i seem to be 4-6 hours further down the stream then have to scroll to the top even though I've already read most of whats there before the refresh.
