Dear ALL,
I was just wondering if there is a program that minimizes (Minimize.exe) the running app but than with an slide down animation like the iphone which you can use with Touchflo.
I would love to have this too.
But for now, this is your best bet with app transitions.
There's FtouchFlo that uses gesture and there is a minimise.exe by efrost, the same developer of FtouchFlo.
Then there's the much much improved version - FTouchSL, which has all the gesture and launch application, etc build into one. Go to www.ftouchsl.com to find out more info.
Looks like you misunderstood. He is already aware of the Minimize.exe of efrost. But he wants a minimize.exe that has an animation of the current app being minimized to slide down or something.
Excactly! I already bought Ftouchsl. It works perfectly. I use a iphone UI and it would be nice to minimize with transition or animation effect.
I'm sure it could be done since PointUI and Touch Commander already does this.
Try pm'ing roozbeh on this forum. I'm sure he could do it.
I did PM but still no answer yet. Keep hoping.

there seem to be much of Touch/Finger Friendly apps looming around..
how about a Finger Friendly application launcher? i know, Most, now uses HTC HOME as their all in all, time, profile and app launcher plugin.. but the HTC HOME launcher only permits 7 shortcuts and the icons are ugly, and shortcut name is not supported..
and for those who don't want their homescreen/todayscreen be eaten up by a 180 pixel high plugin (HTC HOME), maybe a better touch friendly launcher is a good approach..
how about a 40 pixel height single-row app launcher.. it can't go higher than that.. what makes it different? it can stack lots of shortcuts even it is on a single row..
HOW IT SHOULD LOOK?
initially it shows only 5 icons.. but if you swipe your finger left or right.. it moves or slides the icons and reveals other icons/shortcuts in the horizontal list (originally hidden off screen).. when you reach the end of the list, you are then looped back to the first icon.. much of a carousel.. maybe icons can be changed using TGA or PNG, and customizable shortcut names is applicable..
the concept saves a hell lot of Today Screen space (so faster to redraw) and is fun to use, also, it would be the first Today plugin to utilize the Touch drivers/concept..
how about it guys? if only i have programming prowess, i'll be the one to create this..
Good thought, but one thing i hate about the HTC Home is it is bog memory hooging application.
I want one with less memory consuming.
Very nice concept hope someone will take up this project.
Such thing exists already. Just google for RLTODAY. It's not only a clock, but also does a good job as launcher. Can be easily customized for any requirements.
I use clauncher, works great, icons the size you choose, tabs etc. but sometimes it doesn't appear after a sr. with wm6. Ilauncher is similar, but I think not free.
I second the vote for RLToday, highly vertasile, and very easy to use.

Hmm, I'll have to look into what famewolf posted, but I'm still a fan of either HTC Home or RLToday. I know a while ago there was a post on how to exactly duplicate the iPhone look with RlToday and some themes, but I believe it's been taked down due to copy right reasons by Apple.
yes i know and already used RLTODAY CLAUNCH and ILAUNCH.. the only drawback is, as i said earlier, is the todayscreen usage..
RLTODAY and ILAUNCH eats up today screen estate.. as you add additional icons, additional space is required and more columns are made.. imagine, if you want 16 shortcuts at 32-40pixels each, that means you will have 4 columns having 4-5 shortcuts each.. eating up almost 200pixels of today screen space..
separating the shortcuts in TABS, once again eats up space, for TABS eat about 16-24 pixels of estate and they are uber ugly.. added the fact that they are NOT FINGER FRIENDLY..
a feature i want to utilize in my concept is the DRAG AND SWIPE method.. USE TOUCH CONCEPT ON TODAY SCREEN!
USE ONLY 1 COLUMN OF SHORTCUTS and HORIZONTALLY SWIPE YOUR WAY TO THE LIST.. no need of itching the tabs..
and NO! (@famewolf) i think we don't need another AYEPHONE clone.. it's time we stick to what we have and THINK OF NEW CONCEPTS on how we utilize OUR own interface.. another FULLSCREEN AYEPHONE like launcher is another RAM killer and a launcher takes more time to load than the application you want launched is crazy..
The launcher I posted is the "whoneedsaniphone.com" launcher which uses flashlite 2.1(adobe flash). It leaves the today screen alone. It's been mentioned in multiple threads on this board.
@famewolf.. i appcreciate the reply and the link.. thanks..
yes i know WNAIP.. i've participated on the beta testing of that app (tried it more than once).. and that's my point.. it is a LAUNCHER application.. it is not a today screen plugin..
using a LAUNCHER APPLICATION means, you need to START the LAUNCHER first, before launching your desired application.. it takes more time and RAM.. and it runs on FLASH.. and rendered in full screen makes it more slower to redraw.. and as far as i can see.. it IS an IPHONE springboard (the original iphone launcher interface) clone.. and i can say for most that it is starting to become SICKENING..
we're killing the ESSENCE of our TODAY plugin.. why not just improve what we have instead..

I believe I gave you what you asked for. As far as a "today screen launcher" various solutions already exist..everything from the laucher built into batterystatus to claunch, the favorites in pbar..etc. I personally like my today screen just like it is showing my appointments and status of various things.
As far as the flash interface...all new PROVIDER rom's are going to start coming with adobe flashlite installed by default..the trend in future will be to use more flash based apps so you might as well get used to it at some point. Personally the "launcher" I like most is Microsoft voice command..hit a button and say "run xprogram" and it does.
Check out V2R. Think this is one company and product most of us here are not familiar
Tried it before. Pretty good. But I'm using iLauncher, so didn't want to add this in.
Can't you do a scrolling row of apps with SPB PocketPlus?

+1 for UltimateLaunch
It's fast, smooth, light and highly customizable.
Take a look at iphonetoday
iphonetoday is a good one. light and easy to use and is being supported in XDA forum. Highly recommended.
Hi,
I own a Nike and wanna change its "GUI". There are great skins available (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421944) but I want the Nike to be also as fast as possible, so which one is the fastest? Thanks a lot
PointUI home, is very fast - just uses quite alot of resources.
>> See more details about PointUI Home, click here
SPB mobile shell is also fast, but I find ulitmateluanch and throttle launcher the slowest.
UL is still my favorite. It's customizable and uses the least amount of resources.
I think it's homescreen++
Tried a bunch of them, and it's the lightest, fastest and most stable IMHO !
Homescreen++ isn't a shell, it's a today plugin
I tried them all, and each time I come back to Ultimate Launcher. It seems that it's the only program my Trinity can handle well.

well ultimatelaunch is a today plugin too dude !
I guess you're talking about fullscreen app, but that's not the question
Somehow I prefer the today plugin style because then I don't have to worry about red button taking me out of the launcher/UI/whatever.
I used UL and BatteryStatus (before it turned into Homescreen ++) but I found in general the full UI has better response. My favorite is Pointui but currently they're hanging in development so I'll wait till they come back to it.
I also use MortButtons now, strictly for program launcher.
i would say either htc home or battery status, both use very little resources

I prefer Large HTC Home
It works good and no too much resources consumed, and in my fantastic 3.5" VGA screen looks very nice!
Cheers to all
yargo is vary customizable but dont know how far i can customize it. i like to use htc home with ul
Ive tried most of them but I always end up going right back to Ultimate Launcher.. My current setup is Homescreen++ as my main main screen in Ultimate laucher
Ive seen and heard the device can be easily adjusted to my needs...
Im kinda wondering if i can remove the stocks and footprints from touchflo, and then add a newspaper widget for example, or a games/application menu.
Also, id like to use a real start menu instead of getting a list of icons when i press start.
Is this all changable?
anyone? is this hard to answer?
Is it possible with hacks/tweaks, or in settings, or not at all?

You can do some of what you ask, but not all.
To remove tabs from the Sense UI, go to the Home page, click Menu, and select "Personalize Home Screen Tabs". You can re-order, remove and re-add tabs there. I don't have stocks or footprints either, as I have no need for them.
You can't (currently) just add a tab to the Sense UI. It's not widget based, so it isn't possible. It may become possible in the future, but I don't expect that to happen. You may be better off looking at something like PointUI Home. That's a FANTASTIC UI that is much more customisable than Sense. You can find out about that here.
Finally, the start menu is the windows start menu, so you're stuck with what you've got.... unless you try something like QuickMenu, which I used to use and would highly recommend. You can get that from here.
Hope this gets you closer to what you're after. Have fun

wow that sucks alot.
I like the theme and eyecandy of SENSE UI, but not being able to add your own tabs sucks....ALOT.
I have not seen any other UI yet that is capable of bringing a similar high graphics and eyecandy experience.
Actually you can add your own tabs, but making a tab is not something that's easy.

ive seen iphone UI, point home UI, SPB shell....compare them to HTC sense...htc sense is alot better, but really lacks the "adding more tabs" function.
They could make sense UI such a success...but we are so limited with the functions of it now.
Think of it...
im making a own thread.

You can make PointUI work exactly the same as Sense. You just need to spend time on it. Then, you will have a UI that looks and acts exactly like Sense, but you can add new tabs and widgets as you see fit.
It does do what you are asking, but you need to put time into it.
Anyway, as I've said to you in another thread, you really need to wait till you have the phone. You are asking lots of questions that you can't even try the answers for yet.
can a moderator lock this thread? i would like to continue this discussion in the other thread.

Hi. I noticed on some of the builds like Jamezelle and Zenulator have awesome "slide-to-unlock" type of lock screens. Can these be installed separately or are they limited to the system.sqsh builds?

I believe there are no apk's for the lockscreen. It's more of a build-particular thing. I'm sure one of the devs could give u a more in-depth answer if you want. Also, you can get an app called lockbot from the market. However, it is often reported to cause taskbar lockups. But it emulates the major lockscreens pretty realistically
Lockbot works great, you can choose between iPhone, Hero and a few others. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and haven't noticed any lag or other issues.
Thanks for the info. I really love the Nexus 1's lock screen in Zenulator's Eclair port. I'll try this app either way, it sounds wicked.
LockBot is nice, but as mentioned, it seems to lock the taskbar on the Vogue, at least on the Donut builds here. It has a FLAN themed lock screen, but you can't use it in the free version. The Eclair ones are pretty cool though. Other than the taksbar bug.

LockBot as well as Lock 2.0 are not just lockscreens, they'll take over the home pages. It might be that's the only way to fully lock the phone or it could be that they don't know what they're doing. In anycase, you'll lose the use of the send key (hard key) and the notification panel, which is probably the taskbar you mentioned.

For android...?
I use lockbot Pro w/ home++ which has a built in notification icon. My send key launches my call log. I'm using plemans hero donut blend.
Stericsons lockscreen can be implemented into these android builds via the framework.
Hi all,
I wonder if there is an option to have a rotation animation on the hd2 with nand android just like windows 7 and the iphone?
Is this an app i can install or does it has to be developed?
Thnx!
Not sure what you're looking for, but the newest version of launcherpro adds some nice animations to your app drawer and the home screens.
The Launcher Pro animation options are for scrolling between pages and opening the app drawer. There's nothing in there for rotation animation.
Spare Parts offers a setting to enable "fancy rotation", but it doesn't work any more. I believe it worked in 1.5, but no later.
Other than that, I've not heard of anything that does what you're asking.
on the iphone4 on for example the qwebbrowser if u rotate the screen it rotates with an animation/effect. Just like on windows phone 7.
Look this video @ 1:04

Hmm yea i installed spare parts and enabled fancy rotation. Only it doesn't work anyone else knows an app wich does this?
I never understood why there was never any interest on this...
