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... ;-)

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)"
Source: http://en.meizu.com/userforum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1676
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,

I have tons of WM 2003SE tsk themes, but... they don't work with WM 5.0 in my Universal...
Do you know where can I find compatible themes? I tried wisbar advance desktop, but it is still in beta... I'm looking for simple tsk themes that work in WM 5.0
Any help would be appreciated.
Someone posted this a while back, I beleive you need the Pocket PC SE VGA to work with the Universal. I have not tried it yet, so do post back if they do work.
http://www.wmthemes.com/default.aspx
It doesn't work. The lower two softkeys don't change their colour, and the wallpaper appears like grey, even if it has... every colour of the rainbow.
I'm really surprised that M$ hasn't announced a theme maker for WM 5.0... And more surprised that there are only 1-2 themes available for WM 5.0 devices...
Really unfortunate...

svyatko you rock! Excellent themes at last!!! Send more plz!
How did you make them my friend? With what kind of software?
Thanx also for the other links to the other friend who post them
Hi svyatko,
Are you using a launcher? How did you get to show so many icons on your screen?
What is the colorful round icon near the battery icon?
Very nice themes. How did you create them?
Great themes svyatko!
I dont seem to have the additional icons!
Do I need to install flash or anything?
guys thanks for your comments. Now, all icons I have , are RESCO TODAY PLUG-IN. it's pretty cool. and it doesn't slow the system like SPB POCKET PLUS one. The icon in the corner next to the battery is POCKET INFORMANT icon.
and regarding the software I am using, its something like McDEV Theme creator. I can't remember the axact name, coz i'm @ work, sneakely writing from my Exec ;-))
yess! The program is ThemeMaker McDeb and it works...
At last I made my own themes based on the ones provided here! Thanx again my friend, it works great.
i'm glad you made it. the only problem I find difficult to solve is the dimentions of the picture. no matter how I tried, the picture gets cut in landscape or in portrait modes. it's obviously not a big deal in an abstract pictures, but in something more precise, that is a great pain in the ass...
Do you have a link for the resco today plugin?

For the new version of pocket cm (o.18) i changed my following themes. You only have to copy the zip-file into program folder of pocket cm. Now you can use them also in this version.The whole wm 6-themes you can find in the links my signature and in the thread there.

Hi,
Excellent soft CM. Would it be possible to switch the letters column on the right side of the screen ? I'm left handed and it would be easier for me to choose the tight letter.
Thanks and ... BRAVO !
I cannot program, i only make skins. Pleasepost it in pocket cm-forum.
The skin must only be copied into program folder of pocket cm as a zip file. In pocket cm you can choose it in the settings. Previews: Link in my signature, there are previews of all my themes incl. pocket cm.
Neo XL....You are the MAN!!!! I have been looking for themes with background PICS since the .17 CAB came out, all people seem to make since are colors. I like the look of pictures in the backgrounds (plus, (I hope you don't mind) I can backwards engineer my own theme when I have something like this to work with!!!!!
Thanks again!!!
Awesome themes...lovin the all black theme.

Try to edit the contact and copy the home number to the mobile phone entry.
And: I don´t know how to program... i used the new touch theme pics and edited them.
Hi,
just installed the skins... very nice!
However, when I open the contact details, the contact list is still shown in the background (looks kind of messed up). Is this just one mine (Asus P525)?
KR,
Markus
I tried it on my prophet and the functions were all okay. Over 1000 users downloaded the themes...don´t know, if there were problems like this before. What´s the version of your pocket cm? Which theme of them do you use? Notice: They are qvga-themes.
Now the Paris-Theme is also online.
I tried them (except the new paris theme) with v1.8 and all had the same problem... Is this maybe a configuration issue with pocketCM?
My friends have other ppc´s...mda compact II, trinity, and all functions are well....don´t know, why you have these problems, sorry.

At this time i have hard to work in my job, so i can´t work on themes. But i hope, in the next month there will be time for a new one. Every theme takes one or two days, because i always skin wm6, pocket cm,sometimes mort player and phone in one way.
My favourite is the vista black glass skin, but i change often between the skins.
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.

This is crazy! But realy nice. Maybe someone of the profs can findout how to do this....

Hi folks,
Is there a way to have exactly this bar permanently on today screen? The pic was taken from an Ifonz screenshot.
I have a Gsmart VGA WM6.0 pro.
I tried Wisbar and other stuff but no way..too heavy and not user friendly at all. The best would be a kinda tsk file or whatever... any help?
Thanx for the great forum..Bye.
The only way to have it permanently there is to use PointUI which has the top bar. Its not quite like the iphone bar, but it has what you need and acts as a task switcher as well as a way to get back to the pointui home screen.
I have asked the developer of the today life program (xml config tool with themes) he is making if he was planning on making a permanent top bar. But he didn't seem to care... such a shame too since it is useful.
Wisbar is the easiest way.
You won't get that without additional software.
Are you sure that PointUi is VGA compatible? I tried it before but it didn't work.
Which version? I believe the latest one is (it may be a seperate cab).

Well, they did a test version in the old 1.02 version. I don't think they ever did anything for their new 1.5 version in vga.
http://forums.pointui.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=862&st=0&sk=t&sd=a
There are some other vga programs listed in that thread that may interest you.
- problem is that this tasbar is much smaler than the original wm6-one.
- also the icons, text, everything is completly different. windows can´t handle this.
- so the only way to get exactly this taskbar is a net application that runnes over windows mobile.
- why should the programmer of todaylife make a new taskbar when he created a complete Gui thats above windows mobile ? funny !
- if you look at my thread (bluephone) you find a todaylife skin with a original iphone taskbar.
I will try PointUi 1.02 alpha and post feedback.
Thanx guys.

Why? He created a complete gui thats above WM, great! But it loses its functionality the moment you open a program and it goes back to the WM interface, top taskbar. I thought it was supposed to be "above" WM? How do you get back to the today life screen?
You even created a skin for today life and I tried it. Sadly, it doesn't feel like a gui replacement for WM when the taskbar changes to the ugly, non functional WM bar.
I don't know anything about programming. But there must be a way to keep that bar at the top. *sigh*
all apps are programmed for the big wm taskbar, even if someone could manage to let a new small iphone tasbar stay on top and hide the original bar, you would have a ugly free space between taskbar and any application. So you want nothing more than programm every available software for windows mobile new
so i can tell you just this two words: Not possible ! believe it or not.

PointUi alpha 1.02:
seems quite fine and fluid on my Gsmart WM6. I only hope it will be developped for VGA devices.
Wisbar:
I'm still not satisfied with Wisbar 3. It eats my ram and freezes the ppc. Not worth keeping it installed.
I'll keep the original WM interface as it is. Only some spb plugins will be kept in wait of some new advice or suggestion from the forum.
Thanx guys for all the enriching posts.

It 'eats' about 300K on my device. I don't find that very much. Many plugins are more hungry.
as Syd159 said. It does not eat too much and I never had freez caused by Wisbar. It is normal app in combination with Ultimate launch (or SBP Pocket plus) you got total "new phone"

Imho I think that a today plugin like Gsmart glass can be worth trying. I like the gui and it belongs to Gigabyte (like my device ).
Have you guys tried it? If so is it that good?

I'd suggest something like BatteryStatus (although it has a new name which I have forgotten!) with a skin with just GSM Status.
Also, whilst it's good not having another thread, you're more likely to get an answer in the Questions and Answers sticky.
any developement in this taskbar?
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.

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...
