TOUCH UI

has anyone started work on getting the new HTC touch UI onto othere devices?

Hope so... I also want it...

yes I'm waiting too.
TouchFLO - if we can take this option to our model, that's cool.
and I thought someboy will sone this job vry soon.

Simple example
I've made a simple first version of the HCT Touch UI, based on one or two pictures I saw on the internet.
I made it in Wisbar Advance Desktop, just a fix docking background for the color and lines and then placed 6 few icons on it...

It is a start. Also a Comm Manager has been done in this format.
It can be downloaded elsewhere if you google or you can find it in the WM6-Hermes forum.

Hi!
Here you can see some interesting videos of the gui, quite interesting: http://www.theunwired.net/index.php?itemid=3899
Is there any shipped devices with this functionality on the market yet?
Regards,
PK

there is a software called SPB mobile shell which is almost similar to this

there's lots of software which can do this (like WAD). but the looks we have to make ourselves. problem is there are not that much pictures yet of the HTC Touch...

I'd love to have Touch UI working on my Artemis, and then probably on future HTC devices as well.

Just rip the UI of the Meizu 8?

It was the year 2006 that Meizu announced their M8 (or MiniOne). Its a iPhone clone with some extra functionalities. Now, after a false rumor of showing is at the CES 2008, it will be shown at the CeBIT (March 4-9, Hannover, Germany) instead. Can't wait, because:
The UI is cloned too, which is running on WM 6. If I get this right it can be ripped (and maybe translated to English) to be used on the HTC's and others.
I hope it isn't better than the iPhone like products of A_C and others... ;-)

P.S.: is this the right place to mention news?

Well, just a glance at the site the are firmwares released, but I didn't bother downloading the firmwares. However, where did you see where it mentions its running Windows. And I can't find any specs. If it is Windows, we can extract the files but I don't think it is.
Ok, I found the specs, supposed Windows CE, but I really don't feel like looking around that forum, site is horribly slow. I did see a mention of firmware, see if you get a link.

"Operating System: Windows CE for Meizu M8 (Based on Windows CE 6.0)"

This American Trader claims he has the M8 the 3rd of March, which is probably a false and customer attracting trick: http://www.negrielectronics.com/meizu-minione-16gb-p-228.html?currency=USD

As far as I know, current versions of Windows Mobile are based on Windows CE 5.0, not 6.0.
Doesn't look good for getting this going on any other current handsets.

i would kill for a UI like that.. and if it was achievable w/o wisbar, i would be even happier
ps - already took a stab at it.. very unsuccessful

It is running on CE6 as i know not WM6 there is a big diference in these OS-es

okay, so we don't have to rip it to achieve a look like that..
can't someone make a theme from scratch?

that's WM7, or Photon.
I guess that M8 will be release in 2009 (or 2010?)

My today screen looks similar to this:

umm on the bottom that looks like the LG menu but what esle do u got running there? and ifs its a custom skin mind sharing cuz it really looks cool

the top bar is ultimatelaunch and i have 3 tabs as you can see, apps/main/weather. for the apps i have iphone like icons, the main tab is the s2u2 lookalike clock which i made with rltoday, the weather tab is my htc home plugin. the clear icons on the bottom to show missed call/voicemail/sms/email are made from a batterystatus theme, and yes the bottom is the lg menu. It also rotates between tabs with "cube" animation and rivals pointui in smoothness. I highly reccomend it, ultimatelaunch that is, its not free though

@spencepu3 Im sorry man im kinda dense would u mind posting a walk thru on how u made that theme and the files needed ??
and yeah i heard about ultimate launcher but i do know that your able to use it free but with limited nagging

yea ill post it in a few hours i gotta go out to eat with the girlfriend for valentines day haha

Thx man have fun on the date

For the top labels im using ultimatelaunch, you can google it and download it. In the "main" label I have a today plugin for rltoday. I can post the skin.xml i made to make it look like s2u2/iphone like. There are very many themes to rltoday though. The weather tab has my htchome today plugin in it. the today plugins can be put in new tabs when you make them in ultimatelaunch. Then the 4 clear buttons on the bottom are my batterystatus today plugin with a different skin. The one i have doesnt actually even showthe battery status but it shows missed calls/sms/email/voicemail . I can post the skin file for this as well. battery status can be downloaded from the owners website just google it. and the lgtoday plugin is .cab file on this forum.

i got rltoday and batterystatus and ultimatelaunch but i need the skin.xml u used
and especially i would like the theme ur using for batterystatus i have been using it for a long time but never found a skin as nice as that one

alright here are the xml files. just unzip both and put in their appropriate folders. the rltoday (s2u2) skin should look how its shown but for the battery status skin you have to uncheck some indicators from the options to have just the one row of buttons like i do.

looks really nice...
but, can't find this lg plugin you have at bottom. pls can you point me to right thread?
tia,
pirlone

Windows CE6 Software can run under Windows CE5. If they doesnt use new functions.

How made the Start Menu at the bottom

How made the Start Menu at the bottom, but with out the WAD lik the screen

Cool... would like to know also...

photoshop CS3 or previous versions

But it is posible to make this in PDA ???

Swapping the bars would be more like Windows desktop. I would like it too. Combine that with small menu and it would be just like Windows 95.

ok, but I will like on the pictures

this is done with Wisbar Advanced Disktop (WAD), search this forum and other places on the web and you can find a lot of info on it.
[Edit] Didn't notice that you don't want WAD, don't know of another way of doing it.

But the threader want to know how it s done without WAD.
greets
voxid

It would be cool if it is possible without WAD. With WAD it is Not a big task. As I have 96MB of RAM, my PPC is still pretty fast with WAD. So I'm using WAD now with a cool vista theme (not with swapped bars), do you have a good vista like theme with taskbar in bottom?

For those who think it's photoshopped or customized with any WAD theme, it isn't. Me and my brother have had the startbar at the bottom in almost one year now. We would like to show you that this isn't fake, so we instantly recorded a video of our Pocket PC's.

TF3D without the 3d

Hi
Is it possible (or been explored) to have the TF3D from the HD etc on our polaris without the 3D aspect. I like the look of the tabs and there shortcuts but don't want the 3D driver problems.
Cheers

TF3D without the 3D is well....TF2D...lol
All the latest roms have it, it isnt exactly the same as TF3D, the "people" tab is different and we dont have a stocks tab but its as close as we are going to get.

I think should be a nice idea to have the slide of the picture tabs like the one in footprint. the same animation could be made on contacts (but I preferr the current version)
cheers

Its all the little shortcuts on the contacts tabs etc, and the calender tab that interest me, the flippy bits not so much. Basically moving away from anything to do with the bog standard WM appications that are touch unfriendly (i know third party software is out there

Have you looked at Throttle Launcher? Works fine and has many skins. Might be worth checking out?

ThrottleLaucnher is very slow on my Polaris
Not on yours?

Only used it for a while and not for some time - went back to Manilla 2D cos I like it better. Another one you might want to look at is PointUI. Now I was playing with that just the other day and that's got some kinda cool elements in it and not slow at all.
I guess there's no perfect solution, except the one that suits you best.

Yes, I'm currently under PointUi Home2 and I like it. My question was for information only ^^

The Russians are testing SPB Mobile Shell 3.0

This is RC. Screenshots

Actually, the entire world is. It was leaked to the public.
I saw a link of an all black theme for it, now I can't find it.

cool but nomore widgets?

we all are trying it lol. and yes there still is widgets.
probs so far.
- it conficts with touchflo 3d
- no box to deselect in home plugin menu
- finger scrolling working ok but could be a lot better
- no panel included in the cab install like there weather and travel software (i have a x1)
- uses a lot of wm stuff instead of there own software (eg, clock, sms, alarms, calender etc). not really a prob but would have prefered if they used the own software (jaze it up a little.

there is a section in the program/settings menu called themes, black theme is in there but looks the same as having no theme

Installed this morning, loving it, does gradually hog the resources the more you do, but I guess the official version will be sorted, will definitely buy this, if there is only one bit of software you buy for your PPC, this is it..10 out of 10 from me.
Beats TF3D and SPB mobile shell 2 hands down.

to each their own, i installed the 'trial' and have to say that i got very disappointed; i used the v2 for a long time before i got my xperia and i loved it; now that i've seen the v3 it's uglier and less intuitive, i say no to that and stick to my tf3d which in general is also much smoother than this;
yark and blah...
