[search] Cube software for WM5

Helllo !!
I search a cube software ( like TouchFlo !!! ) for my MIO P550 on wm5.
I have tried with BioTOuch, but my version don't work on wm5 !
Anyone can help me, is there other software ?
Great Thanks !!!!

try poorlyducks cube, works fine on my windows5 panda

Try the cube wiki

Try Slither's Cube, coded from scratch in C++ and awesomely quick and very configurable.

Use UltimateLaunch. Way better, smoother, more functional, easier to set up, than any cube software period. In fact I don't know why "cubes" are still being developed. Maybe someone can fill me in?

because some people actually like the cube better than UltimateLaunch maybe ?
i tried UL and Slithers Cube (C++ Version) and i like the Cube much better.

Ultimate Launcher isn't on the wiki.

Thanks thanks and Thanks

But there are no native VGA skins... In each case it's resized QVGA skin, so the quality is very poor ;(

Can anyone post their VGA themes here? I can't understand their language so I can't register

I'll try and dig up my hacked version of the iPhone VGA theme that was from the clownfish one on ppc-theme but without the fish background and put it up later on tonight.

Ok here's the files I used to get it working. I did some editing of the original clownfish files to remove their original background but still able to keep the icons and menu bar. Works like a charm for me. qa_layout and the games.reg enable the 9 button support.
Enjoy
clownfish = iphone vga clone that they did on the ppc-theme site.

Al i want is the diamond look in spb 2.1, like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402021 ..... who can me help with that??

Is this a native VGA or a resized QVGA ?
Can you post some screen shots ?

I believe it's native vga. Like I said I just simply extracted the clownfish cabs and used the .dat files I needed and modified them accordingly to remove the fish background so I could just use the default colour theme backgrounds that come with it.
Basically it's the bottom menu bar, and the icon pack for the program menu. The rest is all default SPB stuff, but it works nice for me.
You can see some pics of basically what it looks like at the link below. Honestly I'm too lazy to screenshots and upload them, sorry, heh.

Is this all the themes that we can get ???
what are the chances to have some of the amazing stuff that posted in the SPB Mobile Shell 2.1 Theme / Skin Collections Thread ???

BTW: At page 12 you find the Diamond theme in VGA.

Hello,

this is an issue qvga reduced to vga.
So the graphics are poor because all the images were magnified losing definition.
Thank you
Hello

Hi
1) As I understand since vga users are not enough no one tries to develop VGA theme .
2) May be some one can post the tutorial on how to make a vga theme and we start together one step by one step . the result will be excellent .

I post a request for help on the SPB Mobile Shell 2.1 Theme / Skin Collections Thread.

It's not really a VGA theme but a blown up QVGA. But I made a VGA version of the diamond touch clock which is used in the "layout_C_3_contacts_vga" theme.

If you want Diamond Look on your VGA device just use Throttle Launcher with TouchFlo3D theme.

Manila2D on Sony Ericsson X1 (Instructions and file in here!)

Hi, been home from work on a sick leave all day, and being bored to death started looking at the possibilites of perhaps making Manila2D available on the X1 (Portrait-mode only though)!
Instructions goes like this.
1. First, install the latest version of Manila2D. It can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398173
Follow the instructions found on that page.
2. Next, install the VGA-update made by pijulius, everything explained here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=429224
(the file you're looking for is the last link in the first post).
3. Go to Settings -> Today and uncheck the TouchFlo-plugin.
4. After you have done that, download my file, extract HTCHomeSettings.xml and move it to the Windows-folder of your device.
Go back to the settings for Today and check the box for TouchFlo. Voilá, working.
If your ROM is not WWE, but perhaps Swedish or something, you can follow the instructions in the last answer of this post, this will fix alot of problems you might otherwise encounter:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2691419&postcount=2741
Thank's to: Herg62123/others for Manila2D, pijulius for the VGA-version, darth maximus for his QWVGA-version that taught me alot, and ababrekar for the HTCHomeSettings XML-tutorial.
Will continue to work on this to see if I perhaps can improve it somehow
Screenshots:
Oh, the background image is taken from a QVGA-Manila2D-theme and resized to WVGA-size, renamed hh_fw_background.png and put in the windows\manilagfx-folder.

Bet it looks awesome on that screen.
Good job!

Great!
I really want my X1 - NOW!

Oh my!!! That is nice.
Can you make Manila2D work on one of the panels? Or does it remove panels?
I suppose the next step would be to get the new version of Manila from the Touch HD.

Hehe I'm unfortunately not that good This is a today-plugin for the Microsoft Today-screen, which is one of the panels!
Yeah, hopefully we'll get a version that's made for WVGA from the Touch HD when it's released!

I'd really like to know that too!

I suppose someone will have to look into the Xperia Panel SDK:

Too bad I cant program : (((

I've already got that installed... but unfortunately they only support C++ for Panels at this time... am waiting for 'em to support C# and VB.Net CE.

Lets hope it wont take them too long to bring out a new version! )
Nelsh:
Which prototype do you have and how well does it perform .. panels and touchflo interface?
Would be good knowing on what the final device will be capable of.

Sorry I havent answered..been too busy trying to figure out this xml-thing! I have a 256 MB RAM-prototype..obviously I love it, wonderful phone! Even better now with the Manila2D up and running!

How's it handling the panels and overall performance with the 256 mb?
Any bugs you've noticed? How's the keyboard?

Did you add this as a new panel along side the other panels or you completely remove xperia panels?
and could you try TFL3D next time wonder how the speed is going to be with the 380mb ram version

Even with 256MB and the latest ROM X1 is fast enough. The keyboard is OK, I can make comparison only with E90 and TyTN, but I think that X1's is better.

This isn´t a new panel or something, its a today-plugin that runs on the "standard" today-screen, which also happens to be one of the panels!
Unfortunately there isn´t any good versions of TouchFlo 3D out yet!

Any idea if it will work on other WVGA devices, especially Toshiba G900? As far as I know G900 has only 128 mb ram so that may be a problem.

Doesn't work on my G900, cycles message "Tap here to launch Touch 2D... Launching Touch 2d... Tap here to launch Touch 2D"

If you just install Manila2d (without the VGA-icons and without my HTCHomeSettings.xml), does it work then?

I installed non-HTC device patch, and now it's working. It's quite fast.

[Skin] VGA Audio Manager and Skins

Now i do not know if you can use these while using touchflo.
I dont use touchflo obviously
But works on my Touch Pro
If you find you CAN use these with TouchFlo, let me know.

is there a skin or a standalone verison that will display the album art like on M2D for us VGA users who don't like using TouchFlo?

hey bud, let me explain something i have looked high and low for the exact same thing.
and i as of yet found nothing.
now nitrogen does.. but im a huge fan of the AM.
and for AM no luck

thanks for the reply, hopefully there'll be one soon

These skins are available at SkinZone.org Thanks Voltage!

What version is it? Cuz I'm currently using Audio Manager version 2.0 (build 1819.1228) and I miss out a full touch feature to browse the playlists with my finger instead of using the tiny rightside scroll-bar...
does this one have that feature mabye?

VGA HTC Audio Manager
As it says in the title, can be found here in the Diamond forum.
Edit It's v2.2 and shows album art correctly.

Hi there, what version of audio manager are your very nice skins for? I am looking for VGA skins for 2.2. And you have a nice looking site there too!
It makes no sense not to have a diamond!
Edit: Having trouble registering on your site, I will try again tomorrow.

[APP] PLAzmA Rhodium (black) VGA Today Mod (BETA 1)

I recently hard reset my phone, as im still running the stock rom, it drives me up the wall having put back my theme mods.
So ive made a cab which will install:
flat black start/program bar today theme tsk (no more beveled bar)
large start menu background (if you have touchflow large start menu on)
flat black wallpaper
works great with Manila Rhodium VGA
Mirror: http://rapidshare.com/files/213475619/PLAzmA_Black_Mod_Pack.cab.html

So all those nice Rhodium Apps are not running on the Omnia, is that right?
But why? Because different Screen-Resolution or because its not a HTC-Device?

the release by XBmod is VGA, it was originally ported from WVGA i belive, as long as you can find a version thats the right resolution it should run, no idea where you can get it maybe ask xbmod if the extracted it or has it in cab format.

1. The Omnia has different graphics hardware than the HTC Touch Diamond-Pro series (which just so happens to be the same hardware on the upcoming second generation aka Rhodium and Topaz or Pro2 and Diamond2) which have an ATI chip. The Omnia has and Intel Xscale Direct 3D chip which is integrated into the CPU. I believe the Diamond and Pro's card is not and is totally separate.
2. The Omnia runs at 400x320 or WQVGA. The Blackstone runs at 800x480 WVGA as well so installing on the Blackstone was as simple as cabbing it up (which btw isn't so simple). The Touch Pro and Diamond run at 640x480 and porting Manila2 to these devices was hard enough.
3. There is already Manila 2D from the Touch 3G and Opal (iolite) working on the Omnia which is good enough. Check this out if you already haven't (http://www.modaco.com/content/i9x0-omnia-http-omnia-modaco-com/273892/complete-install-guide-for-manila-touchflo-2d-on-i900/)

thanx for this plazma. works great on my touch pro.
one request however, it works fine in portrait mode but not in landscape. is it possible you can add that in as well?
