TOUCH UI

has anyone started work on getting the new HTC touch UI onto othere devices?

Hope so... I also want it...

yes I'm waiting too.
TouchFLO - if we can take this option to our model, that's cool.
and I thought someboy will sone this job vry soon.

Simple example
I've made a simple first version of the HCT Touch UI, based on one or two pictures I saw on the internet.
I made it in Wisbar Advance Desktop, just a fix docking background for the color and lines and then placed 6 few icons on it...

It is a start. Also a Comm Manager has been done in this format.
It can be downloaded elsewhere if you google or you can find it in the WM6-Hermes forum.

Hi!
Here you can see some interesting videos of the gui, quite interesting: http://www.theunwired.net/index.php?itemid=3899
Is there any shipped devices with this functionality on the market yet?
Regards,
PK

there is a software called SPB mobile shell which is almost similar to this

there's lots of software which can do this (like WAD). but the looks we have to make ourselves. problem is there are not that much pictures yet of the HTC Touch...

I'd love to have Touch UI working on my Artemis, and then probably on future HTC devices as well.

Samsung i900 + HTC Diamond Theme?

Are there any HTC Diamond themes out there that are working with the 400x240 resolution of the Samsung i900?

None at all?

I don't Believe the Omnia is even out yet. At least its not in North America. Wait a little longer and I'm sure someone will start on one. But its real hard to make something functional from just a few screenshots.

Some HTC Diamond Skins for Omnia Pls...
Hey guys, just got my Samsung Omnia i900 last week and that is how long I've been searching for HTC Diamond Skins for my phone...so far no luck. Every skin that I transfer to my phone? The Mobile Shell hanged without fail. It would certainly be great if somebody can come up with some cool HTC Diamond Skins for Samsung Omnia...dying to lay my hands on some cool skins....

yeah man..ive been using my Omnia for abt a month already and all i can use is the standard SPB Mobile Shell 2.1 software..
It would be ****in' cool if someone could create a HTC mobile shell theme specifically for Omnia's screen size and resolution..

You could try Throttle Launcher with TouchFLo3d. You will need to set the height of Today plugin manually in Throttle Config, sorry I don't have mine installed at the moment I just flashed to H1 but just play with the value til you get it right. Also uncheck full height, and uncheck hide softkeys. If you don't do this there are problem with the bottom navigation bar hiding behind the soft keys after rotate from landscape.

Join the club, nothing exists for a WVGA screen yet either (Xperia), though can't wait, they are going to look great!

Strange.....
I Have a Diamond and i love the Omnia Theme
yet people with Omnia love the diamond skin......
Strange Indeed

Sorry for being thick, but how do you install the theme? I have unzipped the file and its given me a shed load of files.
Thanking you in advance

More skin here:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PU2LZ60P
Credits goes to Mikibest.
To install the theme, simply copy all file in the skin directory and paste in the same directory of Spb mobile shell in the device, then soft reset.
Enjoy it and sorry for my poor English.

open ur hp folder using activesync.then go to program files.look for the spb mobile shell folder.then copy and paste the load of files u unzipped and replace it with the ones inside the folder..then do soft reset
hope u understand..

on Modaco there is a "Mikibest" pack version 1.1 (whatever that means).
It has some mort scripts that allow you to switch between one of several different skins and rapidly test them out without a soft reset.
All Omni Size.
I have yet to find a use for the Samsung Widgets. Aside from the notifier and the clock, they are pretty much useless. I had been using Samsung home 2 (which is similar to HTC Home)
Most of the functionality of Mobile Shell is built into the Omnia with the Samsung today plugin, a weather plugin and their main menu, dialer, and contacts etc.
My only gripe is the lack of 3G in north America and the fact that it has fewer buttons than the Kaiser and Titan.
I like the one screen keyboard. Together with the G sensor and haptic feedback, I prefer it to my kaiser keyboard.

SPB MS 2.1 Themes for 800w

Hey everyone, i created this thread for mobile shell themes that will work on the 800w. just recently i myself started working on Helu wm7 theme that will work on the treo 800w. below i have posted a picture of what i have gotten so far. granted its all messed up still but its a start. i will keep you all posted to how it goes. in the meantime if anyone else has modded a theme for the 800w, please post! thanks, Ervin

Good Start
As a test (if you want to do so) I´m attaching modified WM7 HELU files (Separator.bmp, Separator1.bmp and Separator2.bmp and its respective mask files) from 240 to 320 width. It will look wierd, but it will fill your screen.
Replace your existent files in ms_bkg_now,.dat with this, don´t forget to rencrypt before changing back to .dat

This means that Launcher.xml, SpeedDial.xml, Contacts.xml, Weather.xml need some work as far the background, try to follow the HELU original scripts.

the 360x360 diamond theme works on the 800w if you run realvga at 96dpi.
All the mobile shell 2.1 themes that were made for the samsung i780 at 360x360 work as well.
it would probably be easier to start from those?
i've seen a few themes scattered throughout the forum. maybe we could consolidate in this thread?

Treo 800w SPb mobile shell themes.
Thanks for all the work guys. I was a big fan of the spb mobile shell theme on the 700wx. It worked very well with the 700wx. I tried the spbmobile shell, realVGA, 96dpi and it worked well and appeared about the same. However on the 800w after a few minutes I would have gliches where certain app buttons would not work or I would not be able to simply hit OK and get back to the WM6.1 stock today screen on the 800. It would be very usefull to try and get all the scatered posts on here. Additionaly it would be great if we could get our own treo 800w forum here.

Treo 800w SPB mobile shell Themes
Any head way. The Diamond theme worked well on the surface but I had a few glitches. For example I would not be able to hold the OK button and go back to the WM today screen after a few minutes or a soft reset or once the phone shut off. Also after a few minutes or the phone shutting off I would not be able to access most applications through the menue of SPB mobile shell Diamond theme. So I went back to using the WM stock theme. I like the spb mobile shell/Diamond theme better.

For those who are using Treo 800w, what resolution does it comes with? I know it is 320x320 but would like to know what dpi it is, 96dpi or 128dpi?
Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry to post on an old thread. Is there a link that I can download the 320x320 diamond theme for the treo 800w. I have been trying a lot of them and none of them seem to work like advertised.

Whats about VGA-Software on Touch HD?

Hey guys,
i love the design of the new HTC touch HD. But whats about the mainstream VGA-Software? Will that work on this WVGA-Device?
Greetings,
nick007

Nick, good point, asking myself, too. In the past WinMobile apps scaled well to larger resolutions, so I hope with this step it will be the same.

had the same Q..
so take look here http://www.portegeclub.com/forum/ at te 3rd Party Software
the Toshiba Portege G900 as the same screen res.

some apps will not fit the whole screen ...
but most of famous and valiueable apps will fit to 800x480

I think about all the nice freeware like Total Commander, TCPMP, iContact, and so on ...
I hope, they have no probs with 480*800.

For the Toshiba Portage (WVGA-Screen), there is a software called "WVGAFIX".
Look at http://www.portegeclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=628
If somebody can write this software for the Touch HD, all VGA-Software should be run normaly ...

VGA on HD
Have tried installing stuff on my HD and all works , vito contacts,skype,power sms etc all ok, only problem i had , and its only a small one, was with MEMORY MAP , it works ok,the maps look greart, but the bottom of the screen with the zoom icon etc is a bit corrupted, can still see and use them ok, but not quiet spot on.
TOMTOM 6 and 7 work, check which versions on other threads, and with gsen it works great in landscape too !
Google maps is really fast and again looks great on that big fat screen !!!!
overall im really impressed with the phone and coming from a TYTN II thats no mean feat .
If you are thinking of getting one....Do it !

Yes a great deal of software runs without any problems whatsoever.
For a quite extensive list of HD compatible software check this if you haven't:

memory map works fine, the dodgy icons along the bottom are not actually caused by any res probs...... its the standars htd black today theme, to fix i did this
i downloaded a random black tsk them file and put it in windows
click settings/ today, choose the new black theme...
you can test this by choosing any of the defaults such as guavva bubbles or windows mobile green, but if course u want black still so search google for black today theme / tsk file
hope i help someone cheers

320x320 Love (via RealVGA)

I just posted a blog entry about my experience with RealVGA and 320x320 mode on the Treo Pro. Check it out at: http://nebowiki.blogspot.com/2008/11/treo-pro-320x320-love.html
I am curious about the experience of others?

Screenshots? Anyone?

I will try and put some screenshots together tomorrow. I have been running RealVGA at 96dpi for nearly a month now and have *never* switched back to 128dpi since installing it. The only faults I notice are the lack of icons for SMS messages in the threaded view and the compacted battery icon - neither of which bother me significantly. frankly, I think the rom should run at this reolution as stock - and as soon as we can cook up a rom I will strip out of it all the 128dpi stuff!
John

I'm running it for weeks now, really like it. The fonts may be too small for some, but I certainly appreciate it.

A few weeks on RealVGA for me too. Never need to change from 96dpi back to 128dpi. In fact 96dpi full 320x320 allows me to easily run apps that have problem with 240x240 mode.

Real VGA here as well. The Best. I wont go back.

Could anyone post any piccys of their pros running the 96dpi?
Thanks

Some screenshots
Hi folks,
A couple of screenshots of 96dpi on a Treo Pro just to show you what it looks like. If anyone wants a particular view showing, just ask.
John

Thanks John

I guess i have to be a problem child. its not working so well for me. a lot of things are messed up, images, background, phone dialer, etc. not so great on my end.

Using 96dpi, it's needed to get Olivetree's Biblereader to display icons on the taskbars correctly, along with some of the fonts.
Also needed @ 96dpi for Mobile Shell 2.1 or 2.11 to use the Omnia or Experia themes (found in the square screen themes thread at ppcgeeks.com). They go offscreen otherwise.
Yes, fonts in some places begin to become uncomfortably small. But, in most instances, it's not a problem. However button placement display gets off center with comm manager, especially the data connection on/off setting.

You can of course slide the font size a notch up, that will make most text a bit larger while keeping the 320 resolution. Not perfect, but perhaps for some a better compromise?

I've been running the RealVGa at 96dpi for a week. I've noticed that the icon for the threaded sms is missing. I can only see a "x" at the icon location. Is anyone able to share some view how i can change the icon back to normal?
Also another thing that i notice for is the view of the dialer is a bit shorter than the screen. Therefore, you can see a line of the background when you on the dialer.
Another weird things that i notice when running RealVga is that, when u dialed an unknown number, after the call, a notice will pop up and ask you whether you want to save the no. You will NOT be able to save the no. from there. Have tried that many times and gave up
Have hard reset and use back the original config. Evertthing went back normal. But just TOO BIG. I just wish that the original config will come with an option for us to choose between 128 and 96 dpi. .... 96 dpi still the best view for my treo pro

I use RealVGA with lot of pleasure on my Treo Pro, here
For now, i would like only replace the icon in the threaded sms, like i did for the battery icon. Maybe in the windows folder ...

Can you change the start up screen showing the distorted and extremely big window mobile 6??? I notice that it's good with the original setting but was enlarged when using realvga. Any suggetiong how to change that?

Works fine on my Pro, except it's very small & my eyes aren't that young, anymore. Because of that, I installed CMKeyboard & a couple of htctoucher's skins from right here on xda.
If you're having issues with RealVGA, are you using the latest version by Ebag333? It can be found here: http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=170002 on TreoCentral. If you're using an earlier version, change to 128dpi before doing anything else, so that you're at "normal" resolution. The newer version uses Mortscript & it's suggested to install after a hard reset.

I'll have to look at Resco Keyboard. I like other products by them (file manager & registry tool).
AFAIK, some of the versions between 2.1 & 2.14 are OK with 96dpi.
