I've seen that HTC Touch's contact manager is far superior than one on Polaris (WM6 original) is there any chance to get it installed on Touch cruise?

Thanks
What the... It definitely looks better, especially the animations. The Polaris version uses the WM version with the random access (e.g. A to Z on the right of the screen) which isn't very handy in terms of NOT using the stylus.

Exactly that's why i love to replace the WM version...
Looks like PocketCM Contacts
You kind find it here http://www.pocketcm.com/contact.php
Also, pocketCM Keyboard is a must... works great and looks nice too
Plus, all of this is free (but you can, and will, donate to support this talented developper)
You mean that the one on the video is not an HTC application but pocketcm?
Does pocketcm has all the scrolling (IPhone like) features?
yes
At video are PocketCM i think ...
If you look at the notes (information) next to the movie, they also say that it's PocketM, so I think they mean PocketCM. If you look at the pocketcm website (as given by t.fabien), you see the same interface. So good luck installing pocketcm, since that's what you need

As anyone experienced problems installing it on Polaris? that wish scared me a little.

Has anyone gotten the chance to compare PocketCM with Vito's FunContact?

i tested pocketcm and it works great ;-) It has a few color styles: black, white, blue, grey.
and it has also nice features like the sms history.

Installed both the PCM Keyboard and Contact on my HTC Touch Cruise and it works flawlessly with a lot of options. Install smoothly(used the CAB) and quite a lot better than what comes with the original ROM.

Trying both on my 750, I think FunContacts is alot more polished an application than PocketCM. I also found less issues with device locking with FunContacts. Since I am running a trial of FC, I get that little splash screen but otherwise it loads quite quickly. I only have a 100 or so contacts.
WARNING IPHONE HATERS... (semi-clone on board)
Details here.. http://iwindowsmobile.com/vito-mobile-shell.html
Looks like its open season on hacking this now.
If I can only get it to somehow show calendar events on a page, its a hit.
Interesting. The only thing that stil pulls the I-phone ahead in this race is the speed at which it can use thier shell. I still love my PDA more though. Thanks for the link.
Hmmm...can't wait to see some skinning for this.
*update*
DL'd the cab from the website listed. It hasn't asked for an activation code yet...found activation screen, 14-day trial.
It is fairly easy to run, doesn't seem to take a lot of memory. Very similar to iPhone icon UI, not as 'fancy' looking.
looks boring
There is definite room for improvement...not too bad for a 1st version but it's typical of Vito software.
Contacts can be set up with their own icon and can be mixed in with application icons.
I would like to see something along the lines of SPB Mobile Shell though...i.e. Clock page, calendar. Then again, I suppose that will just fatten it up and cause some memory drain like SPB already does.
I'll try it...
I'll try it for a few days.Thanks.
Looks good but why always duplicate the iPhone interface, come up with something better. The new Diamond interface is like a breath of fresh air. It lets us know there are other options out there that is also good.
the most boring thing about vito apps is how cheap they all look. ugly, ugly, ugly.
looks too generic reminds me of samsung gui
something unique would have been more eye catching!
Nice one
Cool feature, but why use it when I have this baby..
On the HTCTOUCH

NM, I found this thread you were in...Is it WAD or WAD2 you're mostly using?

What was the warning for? Another dumb iPhone wan-a-be.
it's actually pretty nice... it just needs some graphical tweaks in my opinion...
Seems ok to me. Granted its similar to the iphone layout; however seems fairly simple and straightforward.
I like the semi black background without it being too black.
Everyone will have a view on this latest interface/gui. What we should remember is that there are people out ther doing an awful lot of development work to give us a better interface/more choice on the WM platform.
Constructive criticism and good points, e.g the request for skinning, is one thing. Simply lambasting the tool is not good enough.
Someone on here the other day was asking for ideas for a new UI for WM. Should we not seize on opportunities like this one presented to us?
Just my dollars worth.
WB
Winterface
I like the iPhone-like interface, and the customizeability. Aside from that, I agree that the overall apearance of SBP Mobile Shell is better.
amen! If I wanted an iPhone, I'd get a damned iPhone!!

I second WackyBanana.
It'd be great to have skinning sometime soon.
just my 2 cents worth, but iphone bashing is getting a bit droll, since we're all here on WM platforms anyways. You have to admit, Apple's UI's are pretty good, just really short on apps and customization.
So lets congratulate Vito and see if we can get some more customization options.
I would LOVE an option to turn off the Vito 'slide to unlock' option since I'm already using Slide2Unlock Pro 1.05...
like another person stated it looks boring! i wonder how well it will work? will it be speedy or sluggish?
Hi there!
i wanted to start a Poll to find out what do you think is the best UI for PPC out there at the Moment! Cause i was using ThrottleLauncher...if you install it it works well, but if you use it very often it becomes slower and slower...so this is not an option for me at the moment!
If you know an UI that isnt mentioned, post it here
Here are my suggestions:
ThrottleLauncher 0.9.2
Mobile Shell 2.1
rlToday
UltimateLauncher
MusicFlo
HTC Home with Plugins
iFonz
XIA-MultiTheme
WA3 & WAD2
Other (post which)
greetz,
infernalshade
ThrottleLauncher 0.9.2 - didn't try
Mobile Shell 2.1 - feature packed and beautiful, but not very fast. No problems with stability so far
rlToday - didn't try
UltimateLauncher - interesting, but isn't visually appealing to me
MusicFlo - Diamond ripoff...
HTC Home with Plugins - too weak to be useful
iFonz - iPhone ripoff...
XIA-MultiTheme - I don't know this one
WA3 & WAD2 - sloooow as heeellll and requires way too much RAM to bu used on my 200 MHz 64MB ram herald
Winterface - lightweight and extremely fast, but too weak and ugly
PointUI Home - once loaded very fast, is very beautiful, but has several problems I hate (no czech characters, decreased contrast, ...)
My vote: Mobile Shell 2.1
Battery drainage is a major issue with most fancy looking shells.
Should you take this into consideration ?

No i think not...cause i think the battery drain isn't on every device!
This seems to be fixed with MS2 for me, I suffered this a lot with v1 though.
hm...UltimateLaunch on the First Place at the Moment...I havn't tried this till now
Ultimate Launcher's simply awesome, fast and stable, with no noticeable payload to resources...
here's mine

I currently use UltimateLaunch, WA3, and WAD 2! That's right WAD 2, go check it out. The new additions are amazing! Adds transitions to pages and opening apps, just a list whole of things!

but you need a high-end phone for WAD2 it's very memory-hungry
the fastest a the most stable is PointUI without any doubts, but like my Czech college wrote, it doesn't have so much features like the others...
can you add it please into survey selection?

After some attempts with all guis i thing Batterystatus is the best choice for me. Its stable, fast and has many functions.

Then sorry, it's not much of a poll, lacking as it does an app that would probably be in most people's top three.
Musicflo? XIA? Swap one of these for PointUI and you are on to something. As I would vote for PointUI - I have no affiliation to the company, I'm just an admirer of their work - I cannot currently vote, which is a pity!

Well...i've tried that, but how can i change a Item?! i din't find a option to do this!
For me now "HiNavigator"
Point UI is indeed a great interface.
It has several major drawbacks though:
-lack of plugins API (will be available 4th quarter apparently)
-lack of skin support
-lack of customization (hotkeys, icons, etc)
-battery drain on certain devices
-buggy when receiving a call, keeps the alarm from ringing in the morning (sic!)
These are major problems that made me uninstall this software, nonetheless, it's a very promising product, and the developpement team seems very competent (few releases but with many improvements). It's just a pain that it will become a commercial product soon, well.. we'll see if it's worth the money then.
I still have to try ultimate launch
Voted for MobileShell... All the other either don't work (or sometimes don't even start), are way too slow, or are just another iPhone or Diamond rip-off.
i wonder why there is no pointui in the poll...
for me it is far the best!
Hey guys this just came out from the barselona (sorry typo) but I just had to show everybody this new UI from Smart Zone. Its a really nice interface and is put together very well. If any body has any connect please extract it once it comes out so we can get hard at work porting it.(vga, qvga, wvga etc) happy hunting. video link here i wish there was a way to stick this but the mods will decide.
I really love that interface!!!
Can anyone get this one to my HTC Diamond? That would be great.
Looks quite nice but doesn't appear to be stable yet
Sascha
Pretty cool! Hope somebody can get their hands about this baby!

yeah I noticed it froze at the end, but when they came out with tf3d it still had bugs and continues to have bugs. I would preffer to have this ui since im no to fond of the honey comb and tf3d is really primitive to other phone ui. I just so annoyed on how slow it is.
I thick the interface was made by flash.

you are correct sir
i hope somebody dump it
If we had a decent fullscreen flash today plugin or "player", we could have this and much more for any of our devices...
The problem is also the older device's video drivers speed and CPU, on 400mhz is still slow. And flash will always be a battery-hog.
Throttle launcher's flash compatibility is good, but it has much more stuff than its required for this.
Suprised no one really mentions this... It's still in early testing stages and all that but I just installed on my phone and started messing around with it. Its pretty darn cool so far. Sweet looking interface and smooth scrolling, kinda has an android-ish feel to it. Here's the thread over at ageye.de with a cab for download.

Nothing special, who`s gonna use it when Schap`s Touchxperience is just around corner, and when you gonna flash phone with sense 2.5, and of course, when new Cookie`s home tab is out and you can customize your UI whatever you like.

I suppose it's a matter of personal taste, but I beg to differ.
I don't like the look of TouchXperience one bit, or SPB Molbile Shell - that's horrendous - but yes, CHT is very good.
The great thing about Infinity is that everyone can write widgets for it quite easily. Also, it looks good and performs really well considering it's only an Alpha release!
