I am looking for "s2 style" apps for Contacts and Calendar for use on my Sprint Vogue. For example, I would like t scroll thru Contacts like s2 does with music CD covers. Also, by the way, I have tried Thumbcal and its ok.
I hope AC is working on something like these, or if someone can point me similar apps. Facecontact is cool, but i dont want a plug-in...
Thanks!
i would ask him with PM, we allready had this discussion here if it is a good idea to open a thread to ask a developer to do somthing . i don`t think so.
The other question, you mustlife with thumbcal and pocketcm or icontact and a skin that fits to S2. His Apss are real iphone style so i would use skins that are in this style.
But after all you`re right, this 2 things (and a little gui for all) would be great.

tene started working on this a while back but I guess he just decided to stop (or is still in development). It is buggy, but I guess it is close to what you are looking for.

As far as contacts scrolling (cover flow style), the only software that I know of is Cnetx's "Face Contact". It isn't free though

Hi all,
After I seen the Omnia interface, I decided to try making one that is similar or maybe better functionality. Currently, itz just a basic concept which I hope to develop more.
*Note* This is not a release version and hence it is not fully functional yet. I am just seeking ideas and opinions at this present moment.
Thanks!
wow!! can't wait for this!
Is their a link to see what the Omnia Interface is like since I have never heard of it and have no idea what it is for.
its the Samsung interface..great thinking..if u need any help i have some knowledge in C#

So what are the essentials besides the clock, battery status, operator? I intend to make all these into icons and can be hidden or shown and placed any where on the screen.

text, mail, missed calls, call history, calender, task, alarms, comm manager, phone profile (ring, vibrate) & link to program launcher
That is what i usually use
Looks like something you could make in WAD very easily.

Fantastic idea, I was planning to start a thread like this.
In addition to the other feedback, don't forget some of the other functions of the HTC home, such as - weather and media player status.
Is your plan to imitate the TouchWiz II interface with the drag and drop icons, this would be an incredible addition to the current HTC offerings. Also, any plans for VGA for Universal and Athena owners?
Best of luck
Sound like a great idea!, keep working....thanks
A settings button would be very very useful.. I find it hard myself to get to settings without a sylus in a short amount of time.
A Quick SMS button would be a wonderful feature also.
icons
Hi there, would be great to see stuff like this. I aprreciate to test this one
In my opinion the icons of the samsung themes are too coloured. I would prefer to habve more "simpler" icons. - as these attached.
in case you want to get somethig like this let me know in case you want somebody to do some icons for u

Greetings,
I am issuing this request (maybe to A_C) for a program code named Slide 2 Switch. It is essentially an AltTab program where it prioriztizes the programs youuse. So if you open File Explorer and then settings it gives file explorer 2 and settings 1. So if you slide your finger from left to right it shows priority 1. If you slide your finger from right to left it shows lowest priority. is it possible to build somehting this simple? I am not that good at coding but making some animation would make it cool to. Thanks.
since we are requesting for A_C great S2x programs, i would like a S2R, a reading threaded sms program =) i use sms-chat now but its slow to start =/
S2C contacts would be nice too
actually, if all my programs were S2x i would like even more my phone =D

why not buy an iPhone ? No, just a joke, I really love A_Cs apps too. But think further: If everything looks like Apple / iPhone, whats the use of it ? Although it might be skinable it is just a copy of what Apple has achieved. In fact, there are lots of apps with lots of potential - but most coders don´t care any about usability or interface design. A_Cs apps are, amongst others, popular because of the UI. But please, just take a look at apps like PointUI: simply genius UI, and it does NOT look like iPhone !
regards,
Martin
Wow! This is literally like the 5th thread I've seen in the last month with "S2*" requests.
PM A_C!!!
Agreed, theres no need to make a thread for requesting stuff. Just Private message the guy!
been working on a theme.. but dont have time to do all the work necessary to actually turn my mortplayer design into an actual skin. (mortplayer skinning is kind of confuses me)..
if someone likes this design enough to be willing to take this on I will supply you with all the graphics so we can work together!
** also.. I am taking suggestions, so shoot away **
looks like this so far:
(not fullscreen.. the windows mobile topbar will be visible still with this skin (qvista skin can be used as basis for this skin))
and main page
and bigger album art
TO DO:
alarm page and selection page
In the same scheme I have done:
s2u2 (callerID and lock)
rltoday
throttlelock
pocketcm (not pictured)
weatherpanel (full screen)
to do:
opera (most likely) - kind of waiting for more stable/newer release that I am satisfied with
Dialer
anyone up for the challenge?
(right now I just need help making the mortplayer design an actual skin)
would be greatly appreciated (I would love to be able to use this skin :-D)
thanks guys (in advance hopefully)

I like the look. Do you know if the ThrottleLock skin will work with a VGA device? thanks!

i may start to just release parts of the theme this weekend if i have time even if i dont get help with mortplayer by then so keep an eye out!
glad you like it

That rltoday Skin doesn't look too bad, but I'm curious as to why you chose rlToday over say Homescreen ++ or ThrottleLauncher. But none the less its a great scheme you've got going there.
Also... Its abit difficult to determine artist from the screenshots of Mortplayer provided, you should probably make it abit more obvious or uniform with the track or possible associated with the track name itself (Title - Artist) etc.

used rltoday cuz im used to it and its simple/i know how to skin it
I also can accomplish everythin I needed to accomplish.. Im not familiar with ++ (does it do something rltoday cant?)
no throttlelauncher because it is too much, and then I cant use weatherpanel.. I just like the simplicity of my set up as it is (I use ultimate launch have 1 bookmark page set up within UL, 1 shortcut page set up within UL, rltoday with appointments, time, alerts, date, some more shortcuts and then a weather page)
as for the mortplayer, I see what your saying, but as it is whatever is within parenthesis (), is the artist. once you know you probably wont forget it, plus then that it saves space (good for qvga especialy)
thanks for your feedback
htctoucher
added alarm page (still needs some work but just so you can see where I am headed)
no one interested in helping out?
looks like I am just gonna do it myself.. gonna be a while

sorry bro i have never skinned anything in my life. once my grandfather asked me to help him skin a goat ... couldn't do that either
best of look though. looks nice so far.
htctoucher, can you share this throttlelock skin? thanks!
Id be happy to look into it, so what EXACTLY do you need help with?
yeah ill look for the throttlelock skin on my computer when I get on it and then upload it!
also, adderz
what I need is help with the mortplayer skin file it just takes so long to do!
let me know if you're interested and ill send you each page which you can cut up (photoshop or paint-not sure about paint) and then place (via the skin file) if you want to
let me know if you're interested!
thanks for the interest.. I thought this thread was long dead
htctoucher
yeh send it along, i think you have my email address from last time.
Good to see you worked out how to do those Comm Managers, they look great.
Great work Mister!
This looks rather good!!! For those Throttle Launcher fans you can always install the RL Today Page as a plugin whilst changing the footer pngs, should be easy enough. I'll be having a go at this, if it works in TL we should buy the guy a pack of beers each... Agree?!!!
Finished my mPhone Panel today.
The idea was to make some sort of iPhone clone, but with in mind that it should be exactly how I would want to see a panel. So here's what I came up with. mPhone v1.3:
The mPhone (my name starts with a M and the (Warhol) banana is of course a spoof of the Apple icon ) features all the programs I use the most and I guess that goes for a lot of other Xperia users. The words below are in Dutch, but I can change that if there is enough enthousiasm to use this panel. I can also change some things if you guys give me some suggestions.
What doesn't work yet with mPhone Panel?
Well, for starters the panel can only be viewed in Portrait mode. If you go Landscape mode half of the icons will be gone.
Also, some shortcuts don't work yet. Perhaps someone can help me with that.
I need the pseudo-handlers to G-Alarm, moBlog and iContact (on the memorycard) and MSN chat, Notes and calculator (on the phone).
I'm curious what you think of it. When I fix the shortcus/pseudo-handlers I'll upload the .cab file here.
That looks good! nice one, good luck with the fixes
Wow a new panel for X1. I'll give it a try when it's done. When can you upload it?
I've never really been a fan of the iPhone main screen but this is the best pseudo clone I've seen yet. I'd be interested in trying it out for sure.
looks awsome gonna try that one for sure.
and its dutch awesome
Great looking panel..
Maybe I have given up on panels a little too early
nice work there...
Will you post it here when it is done? Looks good
looks great
Thanks for the kind words. Makes me even more driven to fix all the errors.
When I'll place the .cab file here, I'll leave out some typical Dutch icons, like the NOS (Dutch news provider) and the 'Uitzending Gemist' app (for Dutch TV programs).
You can always add your own icons once installed. The map is located at \Program Files\Panels\mPhone.
For now I'll keep building and finetuning. Please keep suggestions and ideas coming. I can add those to the panel.
it looks amazing
i cant wait
well done
why not posting an international and a dutch version? There are many dutchies here who like to have NOS and Uitzending gemist!
Keep up the good work. Goed bezig!
Why are all so want? What's good for the similarity with the iPhone?
Where is the individuality?
i agree with yellowjaap since i too am from the netherlands! Those icons could come in really handy

the individuality is having the xperia.
having this panel just lets iphone users know that our phone can do the same things as your phone(besides all the apps) and more.
nice work man!
keep it up...

Yes, maybe
I think having the choose makes the individuality. We as Xperia users can decide what kind of control we have. One day its iPhone, the next SPB, then touchflow or just the standard SE panels.
And best of all, we can make all iPhone users jealouse because we can do the same as them, and so much more haha!
BTW, Have you looked into iFonz while making your work? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369241
Can we add our own programs?
Hi there,
looks nice!
and I agree that a dutch version is very welcome!

Here's something for those who are perhaps coming over from the iPhone. You'll probably be more at ease with your device!
By the way, for the record, I just made this for fun, thinking that there are people who actually appreciates this sort of theme. I use my other theme more regularly. Please don't flame me with Apple-fanboy comments!
Note: This cab does not include the taskbar, and 1% battery driver. You may find them at the links provided. Credit to Chainfire, InsecureSpike
Instructions:
1. Install cab
2. At the soft-reset prompt, tap cancel.
3. Disable and re-enable TF3D to see the changes.
If don't like it, just uninstall. Disable and re-enable TF3D. Back to normal.
Meh, You make great stuff dude..
I use your V1.4 TF3D.. btw I'm curious about something..
Shouldn't the "Mail" and "Messages" icon be replaced with one another ?
Seems like the (a) is more suited for E-mail.. xD
Ha! I like your V1.4 TF3D more..... iphone icons?? Don't think so.... that is the reason why I bought my TP2... and not putting iphone stuff on my TP2.
Btw... Awesome work!!!

Well, I'll say this. I'm not a huge fan of the Messages icon I chose to use. I just haven't been able to find one that feels like "the one". Anyway, have a look at the other thread. I've made a poll to see what everyone thinks...

That's exactly how I feel too!
Still trying myself to get this theme thing down, Still getting all kinds of white blotches on my screen which is pissing me off but good work on the apple theme although I do hate apple still looks nice.
Wow, no love for this theme...
The download count must have set some sort of record low for most unpopular theme or something.
Don't things too hard! I love parts of your other theme, elements of that I am using on my own theme for the communications and settings tab.
Since this thread is a bit quieter, could you answer a couple of questions?
I've been using Manila Editor v.0.2 to build my theme, which is a bit trial and error since most of the manilla files are listed as unknown (eg, the program doesn't know what icon they represent) but does give you a preview of the file and allows you to change it. What do you use?
What is the correct protocol for posting a theme containing elements from others work? EG my theme would have your communications, settings (and dammit, more fiddling, now the volume part of settings! But thanks for the effort.) Should I ask each person if it's ok for me to share, post but with credits and links to the original theme or what?
Thankyou for going the extra mile on your themes and customising parts that others haven't. It really makes a difference when the phone doesn't just go back to the standard look once you leave the main pages.
Hey Steve, thanks for the consolation, I feel much better...haha!
Now, regarding your queries...
I've used Manila Editor before...back in the days when I was first bought my Touch Diamond and people were just starting to figure out how to edit manila files. But I've always found it really difficult to use and (like you said?) a lot of the files are categorized as "unknown". All in all, this app is pretty outdated and I don't believe it's being developed anymore.
I use Chainfire's great tool, CFC-GUI. Try it out. It should be quite easy to figure out for you.
I don't know if there's even a protocol (per se) in place for creating themes containing parts of other user's themes. I suppose it's ok if all authors are happy with it. I'll be perfectly happy with you just linking back to my theme's thread.
very good,wo like it!!!
