The app won't show in the market so you'll have to sideload it but SPB shell 3d now has a tablet mode. It's basically landscape mode and it uses higher res graphics instead of stretching it out.
I've been using it all day.. works pretty nicely. The auto orientation is a bit slow and sometimes buggy so I've kept it on landscape only. Your mileage may vary.
How did you side load? I own and use my HTC Evo.

Pull via adb. Then copy to your SD card and install.

You can download from FAQ on their website. It looks like an older version though. I'm not sure where to get the "tab" version. If there is an APK, can someone post it. It requires a serial once started, so should be fine.

yes, that's what he means. very simple procedure.
Lol, to you maybe.
I got the update on my phone. If you hit menu, go to home screen options, and experimental options, you can change from smartphone to tablet mode.

Found it on FAQ. Looks great behind activate screen. Unfortumately i don't have access to my serial number and my email address used is no longer active. Im waiting on a response from spb for the serial number. Found the google receipt, but no serial number. I could almost buy it from handmark again just tl instantly get a serial number to lay with this.
I was really hoping their tablet version would come out soon. I think if you can combine the touchwiz functions with the SPB workflow, itll make the GT10.1 a home run.

screenies please i would love to see what it looks like landscape...
Got my serial number. Man i love this thanks mr bomb for alerting me to this. I loved this app when i had a winmo 6 htc diamond and then on my htc evo 4g. I saw the demo for tablets a while ago and been drueling ever since.
I almost have my screens built and laid out. Id be happy to post pics but don't know how on non rooted stock rom. Maybe the TW ROM will be out next week and can use its built in function.
But i assure you folks this is the best home screen replacement. It has lots of wonderful and useful widgets included. You can also infinitely add or remove home panels.
Has anyone figured out if you can dock more than just the 1 icon in lower left as well as the app drawer? In the smartphone installaton/mode you can have 4 plus the 2D home to 3D home soft button. It would be awesome to have this on the tablet. I would easily uninstall ADW. Also has anyone tried setting as default home amd seeing if it sticks? My default home setting never sticks. I set it and then get pompted for it again.
Lastly, I had a bad experience when trying the VLT app on my Asus Transformer. I set as default and then it would not boot up. I had to return it. i definitely domt want a repeat. Lol

Set as default home and it sticks! Yes! I can reboot and no hang ups. Awesome! This made my tablet even more awesome than it was. Nlw if Touchwiz will come out so i can take screenshots.... Ill post em!
Thanks mr bomb. You made my day!

One word of caution... don't enable live wallpaper is you're running this. I tried a few times and every time I had to uninstall SPB to get it to load up again. Other than that it worked great. I just wish it was more full screen instead of the multiple panes.
I have it installed but needs serialnumber, i have purchased spb shell some time ago via android market... in this case did anyone got the sn from spb support?
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk
No you don't get serial number via Android Market. You have to buy from their site a 2nd time to get a S/N. I Google's for a discount code and got a 20% discount.

See I have something odd. I have done live and static wallpaper and it didn't screw it up. I kept getting watch dog alerts on Android Core (home.) But nothing bad. All of a sudden today, I got to work and put it on my media dock and every app popped up with force closure. Then I got a pop up that looked like the SPB font and said my installation could no longer be authenticated. SPB dropped to my Honeycomb Launcher. Now my wifi at work requires a browser to sign in, and i had not done it yet. SPB will not startup. I uninstalled/reinstalled, cleared cache, etc. It just won't start up.
I passed on to their support. But I appear to be stuck and unable to use it at all. it makes me very sad. It really made my weekend to setup and use SPB Shell. But it is all gone now. If I do get it working again, ill have to start over again.

The way I got it installed is this...
Installed on my phone. Used root explorer to copy the apk from system/app to the root of my sd card. Then I uploaded it to my dropbox account and downloaded it on my tablet. Worked like a charm. I'm assuming this is because it was authenticated already with my SN when I installed it on my phone? Or maybe because my tablet is signed into my gmail account.
Awe.... gotcha. Where is it on the phone? I'm not rooted on my Evo 4G or Grab. So may not be able to do what you did?

It's in the system/app folder I believe. You need to be rooted to copy it out of there.
Can someone post screenshots for those of us who haven't installed yet?
Awe. I'm am going from an Evo 4G to Nexus S 4G this week. So I am probably not gonna risk rooting and bricking my phone. It would bring down the already low resell value on eBay. Lol
Maybe SPB will be kind enough to respond to my issues, even if they are not supporting it yet on tablets. It will hopefully be worth their time learning how to address it and advance their timeline for full release.
Maybe after I get my nexus and install it there, I can root and find it if SPB decides to not help. It will install but nothing happens now when i press home and select SPB. I get the SPB Mobile Shell 3D is starting with the circle going round and round .... but not even the serial box pops up. I do notice that it accumulates 1.07mb of data during this process. Ill clear the cache and same result each time. Its like something completely obliterated every app, but permanently for SPB when i sat the tab on the media dock today.

Purchased on another device and sideloaded the apk on my note. It works but the controls are shifted a few pixels up and right. Also I'd say about 75-100 pixel wide area on the left side of the screen is a clipped blur.
Still through 10-12 teams on the campaign. Controls are shifted but super smooth. Worth the cash and sideloading lol.

Didn't even check my email for the automated reply. That sucks, really no way to complain or ask to get a compatible version. just posted to twitter. guess we'll see if anything happens with that. playing with the screwy screen isn't too bad but the controls are much more fluid on even my friends evo so i know how amazing this would be fully functional on the note.
Change your build.prop! It will give you compatibility
change my build prop to what i want that game!
Had it installed on my previous phone, the Desire HD. Used Titanium Backup to restore it on my Roger's Note. No issues what so ever. Plays great! Sounds great! Looks great! If it matters it is version 1.00.38. You could try Samsung Nexus or Galaxy S2.

wish the controls were smoother...i bring my ipod touch to work every day just so i have that game to play on the crapper....id much rather play it on my note but because its not setup for our screen the buttons lack functionality. i find myself clicking over and over before one works

how did you get it to install on the Note? I read if you use the gesture controls it controls almost perfectly.
just downloaded and installed the apk from the internet
why would you ever wanna play this with gestures, takes all the fun out of it and now ur stuck swiping all around the screen
im rooted so downloading and installing straight from the phone is super easy but i cant play this in this current state to frustrating
so gave the game another shot, and couldnt put it down, yes the button pressing could be a bit cleaner/smoother but the updated graphics and roster had me hooked. plus going from a small iphone/ipodtouch this game is awsome on such a big beautiful screen.
The day the announced the portrait oriented flagship, YouTube got an update to correspond with it, and it killed landscape pretty much. The app on the Flyer looks just as it does on my phone now! My roommate with his gtab2 was complaining about it too. Google if its not broke don't fix it!
Just a pain now. If you want to keep watching videos you gotta constantly rotate it.

Update makes no sense really because apps on the nexus are still in tablet mode, and still support landscape
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using XDA Premium HD app
That's why Google is an advertising company, not a software company.
Yeah and to be fair, it never made much sense that you had to flip the phone into portrait to view other videos either, after all landscape always puts the aspect ratio closer to 16:9 which is what you want when you watch a video anyway, and you can't go fullscreen in portrait, so what is the point exactly?
Yep this about sums it up. Instead of the nice dual pane mode you got on tablets before after your done watching a video, here's what you get. Argh I want to go back to the older version.
I pulled the apk out of one of the custom roms I had on my PC, and reinstalled it. Its going to tell me I need an update forever but screw it, the old tablet look wasn't broken, no need to fix it.
Any chance on sharing the apk? :angel:
Edit:
never mind, removed all updates for YT
Here you go, it should be a straight install, shouldn't require root or anything, just double click and follow the instructions
EDIT I see you fixed yours, but I'll leave this up here for anyone who wants the old layout back.
So I got my DNA on Sunday. So far, I'm pretty happy with it except for one issue. My multitouch seems messed up. If I'm trying to play a game that requires both thumbs, basically the two of them tapping the screen interfere with one another. For example, if I'm playing something like shadowgun, or GTA III, or max payne, or even the preinstalled diablo clone, if I'm moving a character and try to press an attack button at the same time(or in the case of GTA trying to actually steer while driving) the character movement "stick" resets to neutral. and sometimes the reverse will happen. Trying to move will cause the attack button to stop registering. The issue has been "confirmed" by me with multitouch visible test found in the play store. In the test, moving my thumbs around and making them cross axis screws up the touch registering. could anyone confirm or deny that this is happening on their device? Games are basically unplayable. I went into a VZW store today(the only one in my are with the phone in stock) and tried their demo unit and it exhibited the same problem. I was then promptly told by the sales rep that the one device they had was being held for a paid order. Nevermind the fact that I was told over the phone minutes before that the one phone was available and that they DO NOT hold devices for customers. A call to corporate may be in order... Anyway, any thoughts on the multitouch "issue" would be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried turning off HTC gestures in Settings -> Display & Gestures? I think the 3 finger swipe for HTC Media Link messes with multi touch
Generally speaking any issues with multitouch are software related. The sensors should be fine its a matter of callibration based on the software. Like the previous poster said it may be due to sense's gesture features. New kernels when they are released will likely fix this but I have never experiencedit. Gonna have to try and reproduce this today.
I've also noticed plenty of issues with multi touch. I've noticed while browsing, if I'm holding the phone with two hands and any portion of my one hand is touching the screen and I'm trying to scroll it won't respond till I remove that skin that is making contact.

I'm pretty sure every phone is like that.
I believe it is the game/app software related. I don't think a lot of them are set up to recognize the larger 5.0"+ screens running resolutions over 720p. We are kinda treading new territory here. I have heard of a few games that don't display correctly on our phones so I don't doubt controls/multi-touch could need some tweaking as well.
I may be wrong but that is my opinion.

More than a few games simply do not work. Its annoying and I may return the DNA for that reason.

Are you becoming part of the "Now" generation that I saw you complain about in another thread?
Games will begin working once app developers start updating for 1080p screens.

No, LOL.
But I have seen these things before, where developers catch up 6 months later. A lot of the games I want to play are Gameloft or EA, and they both are terrible at updating. Horn hasn't been updated since September.
In that case, I can come back in 6 months with a newer device and will be content.
I am definitely patient, and can live with the Gnex a bit longer if I decide to go that route.
Thanks for the replies. I did try turning off HTC gestures last night with no success. I'll have to figure out a way to post a video of it. Basically, in the multitouch test app, If i hold the phone in landscape, as if I'm playing a game, then place both thumbs in the lower corners, it registers fine. However, if I slowly move my left thumb up and down then repeatedly tap the right corner(an action commonly performed in 3D action games) it trips it up and starts reversing the thumb inputs and occasionally introducing a third input even though I only have two fingers on screen. I can't believe that it's just an issue with software, or I'd assume reviews would have pointed to it. It makes games basically unplayable. And I've seen video online of people playing those types of games on the phone without the issue. A video would help. I'll try to figure something out.
Its been like that for some time the phones capability is more than the multi tasking allows I got 7 apps at once any load after that it won't show in recent. Though its slightly better with the app refresh upon switch its much better than my previous HTC the EVO LTE . Still when we got aosp based roms it was much better but with no limit or more on that device it slowed a lot but two gigs in this is great.

So I've "solved" the issue. I actually swapped it out for another phone and then it worked fine and I was happy. Then I re installed holo locker from the play store and started having the same issue. So holo locker WILL break the multi touch capabilities of the DNA. I just e-mailed the dev and hopefully get a response. So again, for anyone using the phone, DO NOT INSTALL HOLO LOCKER. At least not until it's updated.
So I've had my DNA for about 3 hours. Messing with camera screen went black and phone froze had to reboot. Now messing with Netflix same thing only didn't have to reboot. Anyone else seeing any issues like this?

Can't say I've seen that. What all do you have installed?
Not much installed. Just what came on it right now plus about 3-4 more apps mostly forum apps. If it continues I am going to return it.
I should add the camera lockup was using the front facing camera with the smile detection option enabled. It acted like it was going to shoot and I moved it then it just went black and I had to reboot.
Just did Netflix again and black screen like it just doesn't want to load.

Hi,
my wife got the DNA, since I'm very happy with my GNex and all the fine ROM's I was able to test drive.
Now I was not planning to do anything to the DNA, since it becomes my issue at that very moment, when anything weird is happening to the wife's DNA. Some may relate...
For the past week or so she has been complaining that the phones hangs for 10-30 seconds in various applications.
- Words with Friends, in app, just dragging a letter onto the board
- Messages, just opening a particular thread
- Settings, opening different menus within settings, like apps or even About
- Home Screen, swiping to the left or right... you have to wait until it moves, sometimes you see it kind of inching to the left or right...
- other places throughout the phone
Now the phone is operating mainly in Wifi mode when she is around the house, due to the preservation of data in my share everything plan.
When she operates the phone from the kitchen, she is borderline reception, even so the DNA shows 1-2 bars of wifi. By the way a lot better then any other phone I have had, even my old trusty DroidX, which I thought had the best reception (wifi) of all.
This behavior is not 100% reproducible and I can't really get the exact analysis data from my wife, when she is already frustrated... Also I don't know a lot about Sense and wonder if that might be the issue.
Just now reading a little here to see if there are already custom ROM's out there either addressing the issue or getting rid of Sense all together and making the DNA more a natural Android 4.2 phone.
Help!
Thanks
