Hello everyone, I'd like to ask you a question. In an attempt to create a new design style (which will not be iPhone-like or any other-like) for xda I would like you to answer me:
What is your finger-friendly combo applications?
For example, my finger-friendly combo is:
PointUI + ContactCM + Spb Time
Of course, it would be great if they are customizable (although I can't think of one that isn't).
Also, any suggestions for an interesting design style would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. xda-developers community is the reason my next PDA will definitely be HTC, so keep up the great work!
My Picks
My Favs are:
- Opera 9.5
- SPB Mobile Shell
- SMS Chat
- Fun Contact
- S2P, S2U2 and yup S2V

Hi!!
I think that if you want some flexibility in customization and also make your design free to use you should use this:
- Today screen: XIAMultitheme, rltoday + UL or why not... ThrottleLauncher
- Player: S2P without any doubts.
- Calendar: Thumbcal
I don't use any other kind of app's but there are a lot there like S2U2 that also can be interesting .
I know this will look like I'm doing some publicity of my app... but remember I'm just another XDA member, why wouldn't I share my opinion...
Hope this helps
iContact definately won over PocketCM. I'm using Throttle Launcher now with a diamond theme, which works pretty well. Obviously S2P for music.

Is opera finger-friendly? I didn't know! Nice!
YEP !! Opera 9.5 is FF...u can scroll the pages just Piscel Browser
My combo:
PointUI 1.51a
S2U2 + S2P + S2V
Iphone dialer (From DxC)
Icontact (Be5) + Diamond theme
ThumbCal
Opera Mini 4.1
TouchPal
Opera mini 4.1 with esmertec jbed is good enough for my web browsing needs. Opera mobile 9.5 just seems to take too much resource that my puny tmobile wing wasn't able to provide.
I also use total commander with large icon for file browsing, but it's not so finger friendly so I still need to use d-pad.
Quick menu is good when used with d-pad and very powerful. It compensates the weakness of pointui IMHO, such as fast task switch, "OK" to close program, handles settings better and easier access to programs menu.
iContact
Opera 9.5
HTC ActionScreen

- ThumbCal
for me

S2P, S2V

Opera 9.5
SPBPhoneSuite
for me:
UL
S2...all
iContact be5
Thumbcal
Opera Mini 4.1
Resco Exp. 7.03
PocketCM Keyboard 14
For me its a few apps that are not developed on XDA
Winterface 1.01 (Iphone like with unlocker)
Fun Contact 2.15 (The best hands down contact manager)
Sms-Chat 1.1
Eyephoto 1.1
PCMKeyboard Iphone Skin
Manilla Black Dialer V2
S2U2- unlocker turned off, I just like the touch answer keys
S2P- Seriously, is there any better ?
I found the Vito applications to be very low on memory and absolutely brilliant for a touch phone. Just no customization
Edit: after reading the posts I tried out Resco Explorer 2008 and its great! Got the version along with the Registry editor. PERFECT!
I've made a package (originally for the Touch HD) to replace all Windows Mobile application with fingerfriendly ones.
Watch this video:

Additional application you might like:

Some applications are included only as VGA versions (like iContact).
iContactBE
ThrottleLauncher or HTC Home(or are we too advanced for that now )
Opera 9.5
S2U2, S2P, S2V
Opal Keyboard
ThumbCal
HTC Dialer
For me:
M2D- convenient, stylish, stable, ability to preview (long) or view (short) SMS + it's rock stable.
Thumbcal- good and real thumbfriendly. (hate the black digits for time setting screen; too hard to se in glare of sunlight)
Icontact BE- Nice and friendly.

I like the HTC Home Plugin that came with the WM6 I flashed into my HTC Apache. Mainly I like the big clock and large icons.
HTC Home Plugin, unfortunately, only works with WM6 so I can't use it on my Magician (i-mate Jam). Is there any free WM2003 home plugin that is similar in appearance with at least the big clock, and can support custom themes? I tried searching Google and most of what I find is for WM5 or newer or not free.

It's possible to skin the calendar and make it more finger-comfortable?
how about thumbcal. Is shareware but the look and feel is comparable to the iPhone Calendar
Jo
Thumbcal is great but actually there is no skin in the resolution of the HD and and in the same theme of tf3d.
I'm not a good skinner so if something would make a skin adapted it would be great.
Thanks
Have a look at this thread

I've looked around and haven't seen any other examples of the diamond theme with the style of buttons you have, is this just an option within the home customizer? Very nice looking by the way!
Hi,
I disabled TF3D, because I don't like that software for several reasons.
But one today screen is not enough. I am not sure, which today manager applikation is "the best":
WAD 2
Ultimate Launche 1.2
iLauncher
Pocket Plus
Homescreen Plusplus
Mobile Shell
I need about 4 screens. The software should be easy to configure and fast. Any ideas / hints?
Regards,
Doktor
Well, I am using TF3D with SecondToday. Works great on me, able to switch between two easily. Of course when I am on Secondtoday, I can add SBP Pocket Plus, home+++ plugin easily on my secondtoday screen with other today plugin you want.
I tried SBP Mobile Shell 3.01 on my TP2, don't really like, cos it is not works 100% with TP2.
Definetly Ultimate Launcher.
BTW the second today doesn't display tray icons
Hey all,
I'm wondering what the best option for a Today Screen replacement or addition to make it more finger friendly on a 6.1 device.
Of course, SPB Mobile Shell is very nice, but I'm looking for something more streamlined, with very, very little memory or CPU usage.
What other options are out there, and what do you think is best?
Anyone?
There is nothing low memory for our limited titan. spb is the best. I suggest to get a new phone with tf3d
do a yahoo search for HTC.Kaizer.Home.Plugin.with.Tabsetting.schen.cab
it looks exactly like the htch touch homescreen, and works wonders. it didnt use too much of my memory <2mb
Have you looked at HTC Home Plugin? I use the HHCv10Final which is the customizer program. The HTC Home Customizer is a FREE tool that allows you to fully customize your HTC Home Plugin settings. With it, you can customize the background, clock, tab icons, and weather icons and more. Another really cool feature is that you can add color to the icons and large display clock your today screen.
If you just install the customizer it will check to see if you have the HTC Home Plugin already installed and if you don't, it will download and install it for you!

Claunch1204 is also good. The file size is only 186K
Yeah I just recently added HHC to my phone and it works great. I highly recommend it if your bored with the default skins
