TSF Shell is finally out, so I grabbed it. I'm finding out it's probably overpriced. It's really nice, but it's not the be-all-end-all of launchers.
So far, it's very smooth. No dock on the bottom, there are tabs along the side instead. Not bad, just unused to it atm. I'm really liking that the default home screen is the last one you were on.
There is an lack of options, however. No swiping from one screen to another, you must use the corner button so select your screen. Getting used to that. And you can't adjust the number of screens. You're stuck at 4 screens plus the app drawer screen. Meh, not a huge deal. Also, I'm trying to figure how to add shortcuts to the screen. Might have to use an app to create shortcuts.
Touching and dragging brings up the lasso, but it only works on folders you've created. A bit annoying sometimes, but I'm getting used to that too. The biggest downside about that is since it doesn't support scrolling widgets, I'm always trying to lasso my widgets.
The biggest issue was that rebooting my phone wiped all the screens clean. I was all WTF! USELESS APP! but found out that it only happened the first time. Hopefully it just needed to fill variables or something like that to get up and running. So after getting it running, drag a few apps out into a folder, add a widget, and reboot. Then do it again. They should stick the second time.
So, now that I've figured out a few things and have seemed to have gotten the kinks out, it seems to be running fine. Very frustrating at first, and it would have been nice to have been warned about the reboot, but I've gone from a rocky start to smooth operations.
I highly urge you to read the help pop up at the beginning. It's not long, and will clarify things.
