I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to phones but is it possible to some how get the Samsung Omnia's TouchWiz interface on the Xperia?
that's a good question, i also want to know if this is possible
I find it quite terrible, so I don't want it .

There must be someone who has already tried it? Comeon
ive tried it but visually dont looks good because nits made for qvga but everything works perfectly fine...maybe we can ask the developer to design it for wvga
whoa i didnt know he made a wvga just read some more and seen he did make one i only tried th qvga one, ill try the wvga one tonight or something
who would want that crap on their x1? lol x1's interface is wayyyyy better!

I am not too sure on which device comes with what? Obviously True VGA is better but how do you get it and why isnt it already in my device or is it?
I'm not 100% sure of your questions but I'll tell you what I know.. You're right, an XDA Exec does not come with software to make it full VGA out of the box.
I never understood why it ran in QVGA until I tried ozVGA (came pre-installed with a custom AKU 3.3 ROM) but now I know -- in VGA mode the title/softkey bars, and almost everything is VERY small. I have pretty good eyesight, and I expected everything to be small, but it's seriously small!
I've attached some screenies, but XDA-Dev resized them. You can find the native solution screenshots here:

So how do you go about making the Universal use True VGA?
it depends what rom you have.

Is it something you can install with a cab file?
I know everyone's been working really hard on the HTC Diamond interface to get it qvga, I was wondering if anyone's interested in trying to get the xperia's panel interface into QVGA.
Tried it...
The aspect ratio really screws things up...
(might work on the omnia better, but I don't have one to test it on, and it needs lots of little tweaks to get it to work...)
can you share the application? even for VGA i am getting an HTC Touch Diamond and i'd really like to have this feature if it can be used on it?
the dpi is 192, omnia uses 92...if someone just guide me, how to manage the OEM files, i can make a ROM for Omnia...well it is posssible to make a custom ROM for Omnia
that would be awesome.
tf3d is getting on the overrated side
guys just search for Dynamo v2.0

The source code is also available here, if someone wants to take a crack at updating it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=417214
I currently only have a pre release build from a pre-release ROM.
The DPI is fixed, as in, there are no image DLLs, and the dimensions are fixed in the applications.
It won't work on a Diamond, as the ratio is all wrong (the "W" in WVGA does - surprisingly - stand for something).
w means wvga.
wvga was 800 by 400 px while vga has 600 by 400
youre gonna have a tough time but its not impossible.
try narrowing the panels

Umm... Do you want to try narrowing the panels?
I know it's difficult, and that is why I have yet to post anything!
W means "Wide", hence the Omnia has WQVGA, or wide QVGA. Also, WVGA is 800x480, VGA is 640x480.
If we find any skins that work on the xperia for spb shell, should we post it on this thread to keep track of them?
I think a thread in the X1 forum may be a better place...

I shall upload them tomorrow.
The biggest difficulty so far is that the today plugin aspect of panels dislikes QVGA...
well works come along way on the diamond interface, and the omnia interface which is wqva is coming along way too. So maybe we could get this going. Can someone post the cab or files and we'll see what we can do.
Updates
Hey folks,
was jus wondering if there was any updates on the panels.
Btw, Omnia or X1???
No updates as of yet.
The Omnia/X1 are completely different devices, with completely different aims. If you need a keyboard, get the X1, if you don't get the Omnia!

or HTC Touch Pro verus HTC Touc HD etc etc,.. get the Xperia cabs up allready, its the Xperia softs were after the phones are almost the same.. (read almost, and that dont include screensize, hardkeyboard, blinking leds, touching touchscreens, rubbery backcovers, flashing flashy flashlights.)
Panels for everyone! who dont want the fishpanel? i know i do..
Just use the VisualTask switcher. Link in my signature...
I think that, like most ppl, he is in on for the fishes... ;D
Just saw this amazing app/game for yes again the fruitphone.
http://www.iphoneappreviews.net/2008/09/22/ichalky/
This is a must have for the diamond if someone could make something like this
There are so many things coming out for the fruitphone, i hope the same will happen for the diamond. And this little gadget is really cool.
Lol! Funny little guy...Want one!
no useful ... BUT FUN!
i donno if this can be done to the diamond .. but who knows .. its DIAMOND

Why does everything have to be useful?
i want that stick man DEAD!
Funny, that would be cool on the diamond
2D physics simulation, spring physics, probably OpenGL rendering for the sake of speed, Fast Fourier Analysis for the dancing part... Very much possible on the diamond - but none of these things I've done before But I don't see how this would not be very much possible on the diamond...
The only thing definitely NOT possible is the stretching-part with two fingers - since the diamond's screen is not multitouch capable.
Just my two cents ;-)
Alex
This is usefull... if you have no real friends you can use this one Real cool funny app want it on my diamond
So u mean dChalky (for diamondChalky)??

Yeah but a REAL one rather than a Photoshop version
i know... maybe we can ask someone over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426244
Having their source code would be a HUGE kickstart for someone taking on the dChalky project - they already do have physics - although it seems like they don't have spring dynamics in, yet...
Hello diamond-users,
I was reading some stuff about the release of the SE Xperia Panel
http://www.xperiax1.net/Latest/sdk-for-xperia-panel-interface-released-developers-rejoice.html
Since it is normal WM based, I think it is possible to install on our Diamonds. Don't know if it is good or bad, but I am sure there are people who just want to do this for fun.
I have been looking if I could find some kind of installer, but too bad, none found. Maybe anyone knows more?

The first problem with that would be that the screen resolution of the xperia is bigger than the diamond.. If you were to install the panels plugin on a touch hd however it would be much less of a problem ..
Hey guys this just came out from the barselona (sorry typo) but I just had to show everybody this new UI from Smart Zone. Its a really nice interface and is put together very well. If any body has any connect please extract it once it comes out so we can get hard at work porting it.(vga, qvga, wvga etc) happy hunting. video link here i wish there was a way to stick this but the mods will decide.
I really love that interface!!!
Can anyone get this one to my HTC Diamond? That would be great.
Looks quite nice but doesn't appear to be stable yet
Sascha
Pretty cool! Hope somebody can get their hands about this baby!

the ui isnt out yet, the device it is running off of is wvga. So there would have to be some modifications but we wont know if its possible till we can see how it was made

yeah I noticed it froze at the end, but when they came out with tf3d it still had bugs and continues to have bugs. I would preffer to have this ui since im no to fond of the honey comb and tf3d is really primitive to other phone ui. I just so annoyed on how slow it is.
I thick the interface was made by flash.

you are correct sir
i hope somebody dump it
If we had a decent fullscreen flash today plugin or "player", we could have this and much more for any of our devices...
The problem is also the older device's video drivers speed and CPU, on 400mhz is still slow. And flash will always be a battery-hog.
Throttle launcher's flash compatibility is good, but it has much more stuff than its required for this.
