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 Mobile Shell 3

Hi Guys,
I tried to install SPB Mobile Shell 3 (3.0.0 build 6363), but it failed
Anyone tried it yet, or got an other version to work.
They got it 2 work on an Touch HD > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7fBRUwOYUM
And it looks cool and I really want it. Cause I don't like Touch Flow Manilla.

Hi
In my Phone is working just fine
It's a really good software, I'm waiting for the final release to buy it.

I have it and absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE it!
Since I don't know how to flash to the HARDCPL, I figured this is the best way to make the phone look nice

Hi,
I think the commercial version of SPB Mobile shell 3 is available from today (21st April).
I just have a question for the SPB Mobile shell users (any version) -
After installing this, do we have the option to switch back to the original HTC touchflo screen (Manila 2D)? Not just by uninstalling mobile shell, but an option in the home screen selector settings to switch back and forth between touchflo and mobile shell?

I have SPM Mobile Shell 3 and it rocks!
Dunno if switching from TF2D to MS3, and vice versa, is possible.. I didn't bother testing....

Izzyzc, will it be possible for you to check it for me??

prob is that touchflow replaces the lower left softkey to camera, but of course you can add the spb shell to the start menü and switch fast.

I have installed spb ms 3 in my xperia and I can say,is really nice,I love it, touch flows and other iphone similars you can´t compare with this,is the best!!!

SPB mb 3 is aviable in handango.com I´m allready buy them for my xperia,is amazing!!!!

Great stuff
I'm using version 3 for a week now and I love it!
I think it's the best Shell for Windows Mobile, don't you?
What if Microsoft let SPB write the entire winMo UI?
You know, things like the settings dialogs, the annoying messageboxes, that kind of stuff.
This way we can all enjoy a finger friendly UI and also - great performance.
(this is why I think it's better than the TouchFlo by the way)

some one please create a megaupload link
please can´t download to slow .... error
many thanks

Oh sorry... I've already flashed my Jade with a lite ROM... No more TF2D!
Anyway, SPB MS3 is officially out! Check out SPB's website...

Love SPB Mobile Shell 3
I have installed it on my HTC Touch Pro and I LOVE IT!!! I was able to get it for free since I had just purchased the last version less than 90 days ago and I actually prefer it over TF3D and I am definitely loving the Lifestyle layouts and the way you can slide between the 3 panels. So to me it is a keeper. I think they did an execellent job

The trial is working great for me. I already had version 2, but it had bugs on my Jade so I didn't use it. I will test 3 for a couple of days and assuming it doesn't do anything silly I will definitely be buying it, it blows Touchflo out of the water.

Hi all.
Just letting everyone know (maybe you already know) that there is a 20 page + thread in Development & Hacking on Spb Mobile Shell 3.0:
xda-developers > General discussion > Development and Hacking
SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 - The Features....
I suggest where possible we try and share experiences on the one thread so that all valuable feedback can be found in the same location?
Mattster.

Little update:
I found downloaded and installed 3.0.0 Build 6411 and it works like a charm.

ya, my jade runs smooth on Build 6411 too...

does your phone got enough memory in the main storage?

Looks like v3.5 is out now and even better than than v3... from the looks of it anyway.

Which UI do you prefer?

Just wanted to gauge what everyone's thoughts were about which UI they prefer the most now that there are so many options.
Which do you prefer using out of the below:
TF3D
TF3D2
Titanium
Point UI
SPB Mobile Shell

Voted for TF3D even tho I haven't tested any of the other, but I've seen youtube videos.

Neither of them..Sense UI all the way.

It hasn't been ported to the diamond properly yet hence i left that one out.

It doesn't matter if it hasn't been ported to the diamond..All I know is that Sense UI is the best UI out there. Just my two cents.

Wich UI do you prefer?
I would say PointUI Pro with the Sense UI themes and applets, works like a charm, feels smooth and lag free.

SPB Mobile Shell 3

SPB shell is the best for me, better than manilla, it can be configured like you want and everything it is very accesible and finger friendly.

Using titanium right now. But can't wait when HTC releases sense ui for winmo.
Also looking for good port of sense ui for now, which one you using CraZyLiLbOy ?

voted TF3D2 now it's very usable also with the "old" diamond
PointUI is really nice but wastes too much memory
SPB Shell isn't free

I really like SPB shell is the best.
Its finger friendly, customisable and easy to use.

I'm a Titanium user for now. But when Manila 2.6 shows up... I'll be switching to that!

Im with you on that one Trident. Can't wait for the Diamond Dev's to port it over

I feel all the new UIs are memory hungry, so use the old school Touch Home screen, got everything you need, and still room to fit a couple of home plugin's on the today screen, and it runs so much quicker than anything else I've tried (and I've tried them all)

does anyone knows where to find old school htc today for vga screen?
found couple htc today, but icons are too smal at vga screen.

This is the one I use, works fine both portrait and landscape.

Agreed. Everything is so much easier with it. You dont even have to use the start menu if you configure it properly.

SPB mobile shell is well worth the $30

TF3D versus SPB Mobil Shell

So, still awaiting the day when I can grab my Imagio. SOON! Anyway, question for all you users out there. Just opinions, as I have not worked with either one really (I played with SPB on my iPaq, but memory sucked on the iPaq, so no good comparison).
Which do you find better in terms of usability, finger friendlyness, and overall customization? TF3D or SPB Mobil Shell?

I have to say SPB all the way. It seems faster to me and certainly more customizable. My biggest complaint about SPB is that the weather doesnt get my locale from GPS.

Thanks Mike, but just lounging around a few posts, actually ran into a poll regarding this question, so feel like a duffas for not finding it earlier in my previous search for just this subject. Kinda a landslide for the touchflo, so will see how I like it, and if not, will try SPB, or may even run Androkkid to see if it will work with 6.5.

So, I am trying the demo of the SPB Mobile Shell. I noticed that the carousel doesnt 'float' when I tilt my Imagio, is that becouse its just a trial version, or is there something else going on?

Its a configuration under the spb mobile shell settings.

I think I am wrong on that. Mine moves on touch but not on tilt.

I tried to activate the 3d acceleration, thinking that might be it, that froze up my system, had to do a soft reset. I think it has potential, but it seems more to be eye candy to me. I think I will stick with the stock TF3D, that seems to actually work better for me.
Edit - Actually, after soft reset, it works, sorta. I thought it would rotate based on the angle of the phone (g-sensor), but it only 'floats' with my finger. Still eye candy, wish it would also rotate to landscape.

TF3D for me

After using both, I really like the stock TF3D because I find that SPB is just too cluttered with eye candy. TF3D is more refined and it is at least as functional as SPB, perhaps even more so. It's definitely more streamlined and better organized, imho..

Yea, just had to do a second soft reset, this was after trying to remove it! So even though it really looks cool, I need something a bit more stable, functional, and effective.

I use both, i like the SPB shell most of the time and when I want to experience the TF3D i just go to the today tab in the settings and under the Items tab either tick the Launch TouchFlo 3D line which give user option to activate TF3D from the today screen or just tick the TouchFlo 3D line to activate when i hit the ok button on top and then go to the Today screen and there it is in all its simplisity. when i want the spb shell back i either reverse the process or tap on the start tab in the upper left coner one time then hit the back button.

I think you should try the maxsense ui rom that energy roms has cooked up. but you have to understand custom roms and how to flash. Id do a google search of maxsense and watch some reviews. it a cross between mobile shell and TF3D.

Alot has changed since I started this, I have my Imagio now, and have allready thrown on one of NRG Sense ROMs with the addition of CHT 1.8.5.1 as well. I have switched between Sense, ThrottleLauncher, SPB, Androkkid, PointUI, and Infinity.
Each one has its strengths, as well as weaknesses. I find Sense to be the most stable, but limited in customization compared to the others. It does very well in putting what I really need right there at the home screen. And the ability to have 4 home screens is nice. Limited to what 'widgets' and where they get placed is unfortunate, but I think that the effectiveness of CHT and Sense outweighs those issues.
TL has some great strengths in regard to the plethora of themes out there, the customization, and the ease doing that type of work. Disadvanges to me is that its not very stable, and gets a little quirky sometimes. But again, all the things I can do with it make up for the occasional soft reset.
SPB to me is really just a toy to show off. I have tried it three times now, and just can't seem to get something that I really like. I have a hard time navigating between everything, and again, its limited in 'widgets' as well, and no, I haven't tried all the different themes. But there always seems to be something that causes me to soft reset at least once a week.
Androkkid is fun as well, but the graphics aren't the best. It really is super easy to use and super easy to theme and customize, but there isn't alot of stuff going on with it. It was great for my old iPaq, but not as good for my Imagio.
PointUI is just way too freaking hard to figure out. I have tried multiple themes, multiple installs, and it never works right. Weather doesn't work, time can't change, I could continue to list, but don't have the time.
Infinity is probably the one that I would consider the most stable aftermarket UI out there, unfortunatly, its a dead UI, as the developer hasn't done anything in forever. Its super smooth, easy to customize, and I especially love the bubble's SMS capabilites! Its perhaps the most stable out of all the UI's I have tried, without one glitch that I can remember. I just wish there was more interest in it.
So I will continue to help the folks over at TL work on their themes through testing, and continue to use Sense whenever I am just working normal.
thanks for the input though! Its best to say that this thread is actually closed.

Who else likes spb shell?

I love it, if you havent seen or heard of it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGrfQ7IKGBs&feature=player_embedded#
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobileshell/

I use it exclusively. From an ease of use and efficiency standpoint I find it far superior to the HTC Sense interface. Admittedly, the eye candy isn't as nice as Sense, but that is not my priority. I have yet to find a better "search" screen for my contacts than the one included in the Mobile Shell.
My only two big issues with SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 is that I can only have 1 location for Weather and that it doesn't have a stock ticker screen built in. If you have a solution for those two issues, please let me know.

been using SPB shell too. Lets just put it this way the phone lasted 2 days before I flashed it with Kumars and that lasted 5 days before i put SPB on and I have had that on for the last week and have not intention of changing it

do you think you could help me with installing this on my HD2, I.e the file for it and how to install it. Thank you

SBP V.5
I like SPB Shell V.5 coming soon

does anyone have the full cab file they could give me for SPB shell

Free 15 day full version demo available @ www.spbsoftwarehouse.com.

i see, so it must not be a cab file that is circulated around.

Nah, it's a commercial product that continues to evolve.
I'm guessing you weren't asking for a cracked version, since I am sure you know that's against the forum rules
I love this shell. I run it exclusively on my Wing, thanks to Tribulattifather over at "[ROM]TribShell WM6.5.5[SD Version Build 23545][26.20MB Prog Mem | 71.40MB Stor Mem]"
Yeah, I said "Wing". It runs just fine on stripped-down versions of 23545, despite the RAM limitations of the device.
I still haven't gotten over the "newness" of my HD2 yet, so I'm not running it here, but I may in the future. Right now, I really enjoy the Weather Home and other fancy bits like landscaped SMS that just wouldn't work on SPB Home.
Give me a few more weeks and I'll probably jump over, especially now that they have that sweet WinPho7 skin

i just installed the trial version, and its defiantely different. i think im just gonna leave it setup factory for now, i really like the weather info on the factory theme.

I'm just holding out, that is until SPBMS v5.0 is OFFICIALLY released by SPB Software.
v3.5 is excellent, but not worth disabling Sense, in my opinion. In fact, I rather prefer the look of Titanium over standardized Mobile Shell. Then again, you can theme the HELL out of Mobile Shell, make it look pretty snazzy. LOL!

So with shell you cant use landscape mode in any programs then? It seems like there is a ton of different style themes you can change with it though. I just dont get how the trial version works, does it have everything the full version does and does your phone just reboot to normal after the 15 days then? When is the new version expected to be released?

SPB Software told mobile news and blog sites that we could expect to see the official release sometime during Q4 of 2010.

i probably wont even have this phone by then LOL, i go through Phones like crazy! Just sold my nexus one though, kinda wish i woulda kept it.

i'm using the full version right now with hero sense mobile ui theme installed on top of it. phone runs much more smooth then ever before. however, nothing beats the beauty of the stock hero sense ui. right now, im taking performance over looks tho

SPB Mobile Shell does not preclude running any apps in landscape mode - all apps work the same as before. The trial version is fully functional for 15 days after which it will prompt you to register and lock some functions of the shell. You can uninstall and reboot and your phone will function the same as before you ever install the Mobile Shell.

Although not as fancy as the Sense software, you do realize you can customize SPB Mobile Shell to put a weather widget on the home screen? I have mine set this way and it gives me an icon for sunny/cloudy/rainy and hi/lo temperature . . . the widget is active so if I single tap it it will bring me to a more detailed weather screen showing hour by hour and day by day weather info for 5 days.
