How does your HTC Universal look? Post your ScreenShot here.

Here is mine:

This was taken in July but it works so well nothing has changed :lol:

I think I know the answer to this question, but what is that program with caller picture thumbnails you have?
Ant

Hey that looks so cool, what software do you use to get you desktop looking like that?

Nothin' Fancy
Kinda boring but it works for me
The first screen is for work, the second for play.
I usually switch both sims and desktops.
Note to self: I need to get a dual sim adaptor :lol:

New to making themes and struggling with VGA themes but this is my current screen. If anyone is better at this and cares to help me sort this out I'd be extreamly grateful!!!

My old Universal. Haven't dusted her off for quite a while.

That still has to be the coolest screen I've seen!!!
How is vjsihaya coming along?

LOL,
how do you make this great screen ???
That is SUPER !!!

I was just looking at the screenshot - January 2006! Sheesh. I haven't programmed anything specific for VJSihaya since then - reason being, when I had the idea way back when, I knew what I wanted it to do, but knew what I had to go away and learn LOTS of new stuff.
I've been tinkering with different ideas, bits and bobs, so that I can eventually throw them together to make it as complete as I want it to be.
Like I've said elsewhere, stuff like VJVolubilis is just R&D, that I've released stand alone, but I like the idea of VJSihaya. However, HTC really need to get more VGA screens out. I'm thinking of going to TyTN, and at QVGA VJSihaya isn't as beautiful

Sorry for stupid question, but how do you change your screen to make it look like DavidT's?

I think that is WisBar Advance he is using. It is not free though.

Yep thats Wisbar Advance I'm using along with a windows vista theme. The picture dialer is the one ripped off from the Treo 700W and was designed for QVGA and square screens thats why it looks so small on the Universal's VGA screen but it still works great

A couple of questions:
Does it not totally destroy your eyes trying to read the text on true VGA mode?
I used WisBar Advance once when I had my alpine - it made it so there was no ring when an incoming call happened, are there any problems with using it on a phone now? If not, do you know why not? Is it the new device or a newer version of the WisBar software?

Thanks guys, I'm off to investigate Wizbar Advance!

Anjow - to answer your question.
Yes the text is small in VGA mode - in Word set your font size to 7 point font size (perhaps 6 - hard to tell) and you'll get an idea of how big the text is.
I find it perfectly readable and LOVE the extra space it gives me, browsing the internet actually becomes worthwhile as well!
VJBigPhone makes the phone work properly on VGA (Thanks again!!!) - my only problem is that Solitaire still thinks it's using 320x240 and is too small!!!
It depends upon personal preference and what you intend to use the device for.

Do you mean on my PC or my device? If on my device it seems I can't go lower than 8?
Thanks.

Sorry I meant on your PC

Hmm, perhaps tolerable then. I'm surprised because when I'm using pocket opera some of the text is really tiny already? Perhaps that's a feature of opera though.

***[COOL]*** Samsung i718 Flash Menu

Here's the flash menu ported from Samsung i718, Its very cool & working nice on my touch.

tHANKS!! I've got a couple of friends with i718's and always thought the menu was slick. Great job and thanks again!

very nice, well done working great on my hermes

So we must have flash player installed on our device prior using this application?

nope no flash player. it seems to be an actual app

Is that how you spell "Organiser"?
Also, is there a way to edit the programs targets in the registry or something?

i dono yet. found this over at Ipmart yesterday though. I tossed it on my touch and my brothers mogul and its sweet. Even my mom was able to navigate WM6 once we showed her this. I'm sure someone will find out how to edit it real soon. Possible skins anyone???

Nice find!

i find that the i718 or something like that, looks really a lot like the shadow,
maybe tmobile copied it
o, and by the way, nice find, but the launcher doesnt look like like the ones ive seen one the phone

I've read a few sites on this phone now and the opinion varies a bit. One place I found that was good for expert reviews and real life opinion on the Samsung SGH I718 even had a few photos and the like which i found helpful. Hope that helps others that landed here doing their own research:->

This is HEX-edit job not a regeistry job.
windows\launcher.exe can be HEX editet for customizing.

Yeah, we definitely need some adjustments to this. I would like to add a clock to the home screen.

Some Questions
Some link in this interface haven't a workings properly, How I can solve this problem?

love this app, just wish i could customize it, or even just get rid of the dead links. would love just to have the messaging and favorites pages.

Yeah.. I'd really like to add my own menus to this.

*Concept* Omnia like interface *Need suggestions*

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.

Yes but i was looking at developing it native so it keeps the memory small.

Nice concept
looks nice, definitely something I'll be keeping a watch on.

Looks cool! I can't wait for the final result!

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

mPhone Panel

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!
