Goddamn, the upcoming SPB Mobile Shell 3 seems COOL - XPERIA X1 General

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

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

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

I'm not saying all of them are fake, i said some of their videos are fake, such as the one where they use 2 fingers to unlock, thats impossible as the device (and Windows Mobile) only supports single touch...another example is the video where they drag the icon from the top to the middle for unlock (which was copied from the Meizu M8), you can watch carefully and see that the icon moves faster then the user moves it with his finger...clearly fake
Actually I think that the movie are just fake or anyway a kind of protoptype.
As u can see in all movie
1: the touch of fingers is not moved as the screen is
2: the home screen always have the same date, same hours, same notification (sms, email). It looks like a flash movie.
3: as the player is tring to turn on the mobile u can see that there already is a little backlight on the device. That means that it's a movie with a black frame working on the background.
Anyway, all these ideas are pretty nice. I love the boing unlock.
If someone know a kind of locker...... S2US -> I donì't really like it
bye

Which Xperia is more interesting?

So it seems to be there will be two upcoming Xperia phones. The Xperia X2 and the Xperia Rachael... so which Xperia are u interested in most?
X2, I don't care about android yet, if I ever will.

Seconded. The keyboard is nice too. Android looks promising at the moment, but that's it.
Thirded on that one.
Hardware Keyboard is essential, I can never type fast with a touch keyboard.
the customized Android UI does look very nice on the X3/X5, but the X2 is definitely my winner!

Yeah, although Android UI on SE visualization looks so cool
and leaked specs are great.
But indeed nothing is so complete and productive as WM ATM.
So my choice is X2.
i prefer the racheal,
it looks so sleek and expensive, would love to give android a try. However the lack of hardware keyboard is a killer.
I would need to hold them both first before making a decision, but i think if i did ill run away with them both.
Shame on the shop that puts two xperias in my hand
Sold my X1 and I will def. be getting the Rachael. Does the X2 have the same h/w specs as the X1 besides the camera?

Not confirmed really by anyone.
Rachael specs from rumours seem great.
Rachael, I'm really interested in Android as an OS. I don't have any interest in WM anymore.
Rachel for me. Can't wait for it. I have been using Windows Mobile for a long time, need a change. I think Android will be very good once it hits 2.0.
If the Rachel had a hardware keyboard i would definately go with it, but i really like the keyboard on the X1 and it is the main feature that first got me interested in it. Also does Android offer sync with e-mail based on MS Outlook?

i think certain softwares contribute to this hard reset issue, i dont experience this hard reset thing unless i install an application thinking it will work then it freeze other than that my machine is ok meaning no need to reboot
for me the android looks interesting, but i will wait til something come along looking sexier than the x1...btw its good to see orelsi with a change of heart about the leaked x2 lol...i still think its ugly and i wont be getting it, even if its free
i would buy another x1 before i buy the x2, i hardly use my cam and i dont need an accelerometer anyway
perhaps just bad luck?
I never have to hard reset my X1.

I don't think I'm going for either phone unfortunately.
Rachael lacks the keyboard.
X2's keyboard not satisfactory enough, and the screen is indeed 3.2 inches which is not big enough for my tastes.

iphone theme for Rhodium

just wondering if theres an iphone theme for the htc touch pro 2????
There is a commercial one available at http://www.iphonethemeforppc.com/index.php
I haven't tried it so use at own risk
Iphone Theme
I just purchased this one today and it didn't work very well. The icons were smaller than a chicklett and they were all bunched together. Also, there didn't seem to be any support after your make your purchase... save your money.

No offense, but I really don't see any reason to turn your phone into an iPhone if you didn't get an iPhone. Maybe I'm missing something here, I don't know.
The IphoneToday v1.1 app works great for me.
There is a Rhodium Theme section, why post in the ROM section?
Concerning your question, you could search the Blackstone theme section, since both devices are very similar.

The Touch Pro 2 does kinda resemble the iPhone though, with the chrome edges around it
None of that stuff from that site has any support, because they stole it all from XDA. The locker app is called S2U2. In this thread The today screen was probably iFonz. Link here. There are a bunch more iPhone-like applications here, all you have to do is search before buying.

i was just about to say that. to have an iphone just to have an iphone is pretty damn lame, but if you have one and genuinely understand phones and appreciate how good it really is, the more power to you. now, if you come to xda and ask this, that's just rock bottom

No offence, but if you think that putting an Iphone styled theme over a TP2 turns it into an Iphone, then yes, you missed quite a lot.
My 2-cents on this...
If you have an iPhone or use an iPhone theme, you're missing out on a lot of info on your homescreen.
You'll only have a bunch of shortcut icons. No preview of messages, no viewing upcoming appointments, etc.
It's like every time turn on your device, you're presented with the TF3D Start menu. Not sure why anyone would do this when TF3D and other more capable solutions are available.

That's a valid opinion, and as you use your phone that way, it's great you have the option of TF3D. The Iphone has advantages too, like if you want to open facebook/twitter/messaging, you turn the phone on, then click on facebook/twitter/messaging and you're done without having to open the start menu or slide to a different TF3D tab.
People use their phones differently so it's also great that they can set up their phone to suit themselves.
That's what's great about WinMo - people can do what they want with it, so if someone had an Iphone & loved the way it works, but not the lack of a keyboard & high-res screen, they can get a Pro2, enjoy the keyboard, high-res screen, and make it operate in a way that suits them.
If someone wants something on their phone, either help them achieve it, or leave them to it. Why criticise them because we don't want or understand what they want?
That's my view anyway!
Yeah, well said DavidMc0. I've just got the TP2 and want an auto lock solution. s2u2 looks like the one for me but I've concerns over the battery drain. It'll probably be the app for me but we'll see...

If you've ever had an Iphone which I have, you can appreciate the layout of the phone. The visual display and layout of the phone is great, bar but what I didn't like was the none keyboard and the AT&T cost, so if I come across a good iphone theme, I'd be happy to give it test drive

I agree!!! who would want an iphone interface on a WM phone
Iphone Theme
I know you might ask, why get a Touch Pro if you want an Iphone Theme. Well if you've had an iphone which I have you can really appreciate the flow of the phone. Everything is touch and setup in a manner that isn't clumped together. Windows Mobile just doesn't do it. Being able to touch things very easily is such a nice touch. I've already played around with some of the themes and some are nice but if someone would emuliate the iphone theme, I garantee it would be a hit. BTW, the only reason I got rid of the iphone is I wanted access to 3G which I didn't have on the TMobile network.
Just my thought...
There are tons of iphone applications that will work for the TP2, free ones... Search them. A couple examples:
iFonz
iPhoneToday
WAD2 (is a skinning program, you have to find the iphone theme for it. seen some beautiful looking ones)
ThrottleLauncher (another skinning program, might be an iPhone theme for it somewhere)
Just make sure you look to see that it supports WVGA resolution before trying any of them. IphoneToday is probably the best out right now in terms of functionality. Very light plugin, customizable, works like the iPhone, can be used with other today plugins, it's just awesome. Had it on my Titan and if it weren't for Manila being so dang sexy I'd have it on my Rhodium as well.
