Best iphone home screen on WM, no skin, application

This iphone application is the best i have ever tried, it is no skin, it is an application. It still needs some improvements, but it is for now the best iphone wannabe

I am using it, too.
But the author hasn't updated it for a while. It does not support landscape.

Still in the iPhone craze? Move ahead guys, even Vista Themes with Wisbar looks better!

I use this too... iphone vs wisbar and vista its a matter of preference really,
I agree this is the best skin so far, I wish it supported landscape tho, I'v got my theme down to a T with programs like slide to unlock, pocketcm, pocketkeyboard, ppod, genuine iphone dialler and touch nav, Im just waiting on the final version of Imedia to be produced to put the cherry on my iphone cake.
If someone can show me an easier and more efficient user interface that I can download as a single application then please do, until now - I'll stick with grumps's's's's - Cheers now!

don't forget the iphone like appointment that's being discussed right now...

When it comes to looks - there's no accounting for taste

Fantastic
After tinkering with a few of these aplications, this is by far the best.
Most stable, best interface, easiest to customize.
Windows Mobile 5 rocks. It is solid (for me at least) and offers so many useful items on the go, not forgetting easy to integrate when back in the office. The only downside is the gimicky today screen.
This option gives nice useful icons that are easy to distinguish and use.
My only hiccup so far is a link to the settings which for the life of me I cannot find. Please can anyone help? The config.txt's have it listed as \windows\settings.lnk but that does not exist in my phone (i-mate Jasjam).
Thanks in advance..

why didnt anyone mention that it will only work on a Hermes?

bit of an old thread, but ill add my two pence!
Im using wad, wa2 and weatherpanel. It cost 10 usd for the theme iteself, and another 10 for wad and wad each, but my god is it worth it. Amazingly customisable, very easy install and it just looks amazing, the dock works too, not like the program linked to in this thread where all icons are static. And you get all the pros of wad and wa2 aswell

Would you recommend it over shopsavvy? Updated my first post as well, by the time I'm done my first post will take up the first page lol.
As far as the file manager its a good start but can't open most of the files which sucks.

Cool thanks gonna switch em out right now!

I didn't like the solitare interface. It was a forced landscape, and the card sizing is funky...not the cards themselves, but the symbols/numbers. They should've taken a cue from WinMo and made the hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades oversized so that they're more visible.

GPS software for joggers?

Hi all, I'm due to start a new training regime and decided that a bit of a new toy will help keep me motivated!
I've seen an application for iphone that tells you your time, distance and speed whilst you're running. Does anyone know of a similar bit of software for the touch HD?
Thanks in advance,
Martin

Take a look here.

iRun
But I think it's not free

NoniGPSPlot - freeware and can be uploaded to google earth etc

Thanks all, will gice the g-watch a go tomorrow and go from there.
Cheers,
Martin

www.sportsdo.net works well, and although it's not free the demo version works well enough.

...i vote gwatch - very easy to move the track to google earth...

very very nice sports app with so many functions...

Thank you..nice one, but i have bought runGPS(every penny worth) I will try yours also.

pefect tool is Trackr realtime maps, people can follow you realtime, and al tracks can be reviewed again. measures disctance speed ec.

Cheers for the feedback all. I've been mostly using GWatch this week and have found it's simplicity to use whilst running a bonus.
Will definitely be giving the other free ones a go at some point though.
In the mean time can someone tell me how to plot my route on google maps. I've tried searching and had no joy.
Thanks,
Martin

I use SmartRunner (http://www.smartrunner.de/pages/LatestSmartRuns.aspx)
Its free. But its german!

Rungps user and it truely offers a large magnitude of options. Good choice.

Goddamn, the upcoming SPB Mobile Shell 3 seems COOL

Have you guys seen this, the new version of SPB Mobile Shell? It should be available at the end of March, according to the video. I especially like the Android-style desktop and the 3D accelerated switcher
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFTnvutO0VI&feature=channel_page

Looking good!!!

coollll.. this is really cool.. hope this would be change the old spb panel

i wonder how much more money does sony have to pay to get this into panel

Impressive looking.

Do you really think (or have confirmed infos) that this will be released as a free panel? THAT would be off the hook!

i think its impossible that sony will release this as a free panel

For me it's totally irrelavant if it can be used as a panel or not, I never use them anyway. Ever heard of Today plug-ins?

Saw that YouTube like a month ago and I was stunned. Hoped a beta or something leaked by now..

Well no problem if it's not a panel, as long as it's available FREE for the X1. ^^
Because SE wants to promote their panel invention I guess it'll be a free panel version or none.

I'm quite certain there won't be a free, panel version of the full SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 application... That's too much to ask

spb mobile shell -> ugly customization
I dont' want to pay to be BLOCKED when I try to customize it
hope they changed their politics about this

Hmmm.
I'd basically given up on the Xperia. Sold the black X1i and boxed up the silver X1a.
I'd probably drag it out and give it another go just to see how this worked.
Looks great.

nice.....
the contacts looks good, plus it looks like there will be a lot more dragging customization thing...
and they have that nice "looks like X Panel" thing going there....great work.
Now all we have to do is to send sony a wake up message to reach deep into their profit pocket from Xperia and get this thing as free panel for X1

Ugly as hell. Looks too busy. I'm a minimalistic kind of guy.

Hmmm. I'd think that most of you minimalists were on a device other than the Xperia. ;-)

Looks awesome, can't wait for it. There probably wont be a panel but I don't mind. If it is costumizeable I will buy it. If not...not ; )

I have a Touch HD too

i think they will make this a panel, as there other software (traveler and weather) have a panel option that detects that its an x1 and makes a panel available. so dont see why they wont add this option to the shell.
but it wont be free, u will have to buy. it will just have it inbuilt to make a panel if installed on a x1.
thats what i think anyway

noob Looking for a sweet contacts tab i saw on you tube

i just got my hd2 using iPhonetoday, lovING it by the way, phone and theme... i saw this bad ass vid on YouTube of a contact list with the contact pictures big to the left and the names to the right, up and down scrolling like the iPhone but i can't seem to find it anywhere. can someone point me in the right direction??? thank you so much in advance...

PhoneEx maybe ?
http://www.iconsoft.com/
I used it on X1 and it is a great piece of software. However it does not use HD2 proximity sensor, which makes it practically useless.

Yes, they are called Warez and they are just as illegal on Windows Phones as they are on the iPhone.

PhoneEx has trial, if I remember correctly. Thanks for the WMPhone hint .. will tray it again.

Jeez why didn't you just stick with the iphone, there is so much that can be done with the hd2 and you want to make it look like an iphone ppfffttt
