Very cool!! Can you post some of the apps you are using?

You might want to edit those images to take out Kristen's phone number, or she'll be getting a lot of calls...

how did you pull this off, i have been trying to find this i have been close but not like this.

Personally I'm not a fan of iPhone cloning, but here's what these guys have been using (i sent my phone off to Body Guardz to get fitted, but I'll post my Today as soon as it gets back):
Slide 2 Unlock 2 - http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/s2u2.shtml (i'll admit I do use this but I don't like the sliding part, I just needed a decent screen lock)
Wisbar Advanced 3 - http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/products.php?prod=WisBar+Advance+3

iPod WMP skin: he seems to be using the non free version

there are many free alternatives - http://www.freewareppc.com/misc/upodsilverwindowsmediaplayerskin.shtml​TouchPal Keyboard - http://www.cootek.com/
Almost forgot SPB Pocket Plus for Tabbed IE - http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/pocketplus/?en
I don't think I missed anything and Touch Cube 2.0 automatically shows the media player in the cube when WMP and HTC audio player is playing a song

Opera of TOUCH HD build 2649 on X1

Hi all,
i tried to install the Opera rip from the Touch HD which was posted here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2842296&postcount=1523
first thing to say is it is amazing fast compared to our build in the X1 and it is wqorking really good, but there is one really big problem which makes it useless
If you wanna key in an url with the Hardware keyboard, then after starting after some seconds the fild disapears , with the software keyboard this problem doesnt happen.
I really hope that sony comes soon with an update, or an developer can fix it on this build haha

Mine does the same and thats the version X1 shipped with..

Anyone tried the file from Opera that was released on the 20th Oct?

yes if you longer dont write something but with the HTC build you can write and it will go away anyway so this is an different problem

the X1 version of opera is said to be optimized for the X1 and running really fast (@pocketnow.com Review Youtube Video)
so why install the Touch HD version ?

the TouchHD build is much faster then the built in version, also it has an better xperience in my eyes when it comes to zooming and other things

its still version 9.5, just another build...cant make much difference
did you try it with the same websites, same connection speed etc ?

believe me it is a lot faster on same webpages with same connection (WLAN)
the page rendering is faster, how it displays the page is better, specially on zooming, loadtime is better.
Believe it, i tested it, but have to hardreset to get it away again and to get the originla opera for x1 again.
regards cHarOn

alright, but with that bug you mentioned its not really worth changing

yes agree , its not worth, thats why i posted it , to warn the users, or maybe to see some developers to have an solution for that , maybe i should try an Touch Pro build also, but that is only for VGA and i dont know what happens then

I'm using 2723 and it's much faster than the default one. It loads pages faster, plus it scrolls much much faster, the flick scroll can keep up with your flicks.
The onlt thing is it can't use the default startpage and uses it's own.
I've been trying loads of builds, but I think this is the latest from the Opera site.

works there also the hardware keyboard as it should, i mean if you key in an long webadress will it stay viewable?

ok tested the last beta and you are right, it runs also really fast, same as the Touch HD Build and the good thing with the beta is , it doesnt overwrite the SE Build, it makes an extra installation called Opera Beta, so you can easy remove it again if you dont like it, or let it installed and you can use both

where to you get that build ? Just the latest version from the opera website ?
What about Skyfire ? I heard that is the best browser for WinMo

SkyFire won't even run in VGA let alone WVGA

What build is the buildin one (since I don't have my X1 "yet")? I remember there are 2 major version for Opera. The build 2xxx version has this keyboard timeout issue while the 19xx version will not on my Att Tilt

2141 is the build which is installed

But it is actually the same problem,it dissapears while i write.
trying out the new beta (9.51) and there the google-field works ok,it,s also faster and more polished in zoom and so on higly recommended.

hmm thats strange, that doesnt happen on mine, it only happens if i stop writing and wait some seconds, but on the HTC build it happens after writing 3 letters and i am fast

so i got 951b2.cab from the website, is that the build you refer to ?
will get my X1 today hopefully

Looking for a today plugin launcher that allows...

Hi there all, I have been searching for a good today plugin type launcher... one that just sits on the today screen as a plugin but allows me to access and launch programs and apps in much the same was as HTC home did for my TyTN II...
I have at the moment on my today screen
the standard clock/date bar *
calendar *
message bar *
newsbreak *
tomtom
skype
home ++ *
the google search plugin
and finally spb wifi/gprs/data counter *
I also use and love the S2U2 and would like to keep this
Can anyone help me out with a good launcher that doesnt suck battery or memory and can incorporate all the above (leaving the items with a * next to them visible)... I have been looking at ultimate launch, iLauncher, pocketbreeze and a couple of others but still cant make up my mind or figure out a heck of alot just looking at the pretty pics on the screen... advice would be greatly appreciated... many thanks in advance...

having moved from the tytn II as well, i decided that i couldn't really beat my old setup and just went with htc home on my x1.
i tried a few other launchers and couldn't find anything to beat it. i have bound Launch Manager to a double-press of my left softkey to access the rest of my apps quickly ...
i'm using the vga version of htc home called PJC HTC Home. it was acting a bit strange when i first installed it but it works flawlessly now ...

Can you access the weather on it? and are all the other functions fully functioning now? I found there were a few hiccups with HTC Home... I did have that on at one stage and I do like it but the weather bug and lesser functionality was a bit of a downer for me...

it works perfectly.
there was a bit of a lag when switching to landscape initially but it either fixed itself (?) or i re-installed it and it worked perfectly.
the weather thing was fixed by a regedit - i think the timeout had to be increased to get the weather to work properly.
the only think that didn't seem to work was the music tab but i use s2p instead now so that's cool.

Ok I might give it another shot... many thanks for your advice...

the Big VGA home from the x7510 works as well (see the athena sections).

I also forgot about this one..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=373777

cheers

can't remember trying on the x1.
Shouldn't be that hard to get working if not, especially if you have audiomanager installed.

I have Skype installed and the panel isn't working properly at all, it just launches Skype.

a good choice of panels, the on the road panel is pretty good, the cnn panel crashed my phone after going back to the panel manager.

I love the On the Road panel and hopefully it adds support for TomTom and other GPS navigators. I wish it enabled Bluetooth or made that easy since it is a driving panel.

the on road panel, and the cnn panels are working fine.
skype and iphone panels are not working.

All the four panel are working fine (considering that they are beta) with the panelmanager from the beta R3A rom.
I mean the four beta SE panel (incl. MyTopia), I did not try the iPhone panel, because it's custom made and to tell the truth I don't like the iPhone

i agree with you...
but the iphone panel i unusable for people who dont have the apps installed the buttons link to... so its not so good for me ^^
the on the road panel is pretty good for daily use =)
cant say sth about skype and cnn panel because i didnt try them yet

Wow, that's great, I think I've read they will be released 31st March, maybe these are beta versions... I'll try them later with my X1 (R2AA official)...

The Russians are testing SPB Mobile Shell 3.0

This is RC. Screenshots

Actually, the entire world is. It was leaked to the public.
I saw a link of an all black theme for it, now I can't find it.

cool but nomore widgets?

we all are trying it lol. and yes there still is widgets.
probs so far.
- it conficts with touchflo 3d
- no box to deselect in home plugin menu
- finger scrolling working ok but could be a lot better
- no panel included in the cab install like there weather and travel software (i have a x1)
- uses a lot of wm stuff instead of there own software (eg, clock, sms, alarms, calender etc). not really a prob but would have prefered if they used the own software (jaze it up a little.

Installed this morning, loving it, does gradually hog the resources the more you do, but I guess the official version will be sorted, will definitely buy this, if there is only one bit of software you buy for your PPC, this is it..10 out of 10 from me.
Beats TF3D and SPB mobile shell 2 hands down.

to each their own, i installed the 'trial' and have to say that i got very disappointed; i used the v2 for a long time before i got my xperia and i loved it; now that i've seen the v3 it's uglier and less intuitive, i say no to that and stick to my tf3d which in general is also much smoother than this;
yark and blah...
