Ok guys, I've been waiting on this one for a WHILE!!! Check out this thread with my post from today for further info. I will say that I will NOT post a link for the file, so please don't ask. If you happen to "come across" the file, please post your thoughts on it. You HAVE to be rooted and running a custom Rom, as it won't take on a "stock " Rom.

Google "fix". Hope that helps.

Ps..... Mods, if I violated any terms, my b in advance. Please just remove or delete post. Thanks.

I can't guarantee that it will work for every custom Rom, but I was told that Liberty and Rubix were the two definite. I long pressed the menu button while it was loading, then after it loaded I pressed the search key
 
I think it works depending on which version you find. The first one I tried didn't work, the next one was slightly bigger and did work. So YMMV

Thought:
I dislike!!
It's hard to organize the home screen so I got frustrated and went back to LP. It puts all the icons like iOS and I tried to arrange my home screen the same layout I had Launcher Pro and it's just so time consuming. Also it would occasionally crash and I'd have to go through the whole activate thing again, so I decided I'll leave it alone for a little while.

I'm almost in agreement with you. While I like the eye candy, color scheme, wheel and some of the options, I don't like the way the apps are organized. Or better yet, the inability to customize the home screens with ease and the way you want.

I just got it working this morning after a week of having the original leak, so I'm gonna give it some more time before I pass final judgement

I think you misunderstood. I dislike the way SPB organizes he icons. I like having an app drawer.

EDIT: My bad, lol I misunderstood you!!
 
If its not working on your Rom, please post what Rom you are running so we can eliminate those. Air max, you might want to flash a liberty or Rubix Rom just to make sure its the Rom you are on and not you lol

I normally have 2 other launchers installed so I don't get stuck in a jam. If you do, hit the HOME key, and select another like launcher pro or adw. Then, go into Settings>manage applications>downloaded and find spb. Click on it, and there will be an option to uninstall like any regular apk. If that doesn't work, Appmonster is another free alternative
 
Airmaxx beat me to it lol. Typing long instructions from your phone can take a while. Thanks for helping him bro.
 
ok, this is driving me crazy. i've downloaded 2 different files and neither will work. i'm running liberty 1.5. mazz, how did you get it to work???????

Did you wait until the ERROR COMPATIBILITY SIGN popped up? Make sure you let it load and wait for that error sign to show. Once it does, press the HARD search key.
