That's just a task manager. There's a skinable one for WM whose name I can't remember right now, but it's been discussed on this forum recently. Since it's skinable, you can make it look however you wish.

but
I look at mobile reviw thats part of new sense for android
The new version of HTC Sense features several nice touches - a more detailed screen with contact's personal information and his activities, plus the new Sense's main attraction, new screen transition system.
I don't know how it's implemented on Windows Mobile phones yet, but on Android it works like this. What you are at the home screen, pressing the Home button calls the Screen menu allowing you to pick the one you need, which is pretty convenient, but there is one flaw to it. The phones that were featured at HTC's MWC booth made that window pop-up only when we pressed the button while staring at the Home screen. If we happened to be looking at Music, Weather or any other section of the phone, punching the Home key got us back to the Home Screen and that was it. I feel like this feature must work in any place around the UI, and I hope that it will.
from mobile review MWC2010. HTC

Android home screens are customizable and can only be switched one by one which is why the helicopter view might be more important. You can fly with the slider bar on WM Sense so it makes it less useful - plus it'll be difficult to get all our tabs in that Expose-esque view

Actually that's not a task manager, thats the new pinch to zoom homescreen that zooms out to let you select the home screen. It's called leap, see demonstration here

But that's such a massive downgrade.
Lose 0.6" off your screen size, lose WinMo6.5.3 (which is better than Android imo), and lose your NA 3G coverage (assuming you're rocking a T9193).
I will say that at least HTC finally smartened up and started putting flashes in their phones. My buddy has an HTC Hero and the only complaint he has about it is no flash.

To be honest, I ordered one and will sell my HD2. I lose 0.6" screen size and one camera LED, but I gain Android.
Since I'm in Europe, I don't lose 3G.
I've used Android on an old Samsung phone for some time, and I discovered that I simply enjoy using it.
Despite that this phone is awfully slow and has a very small 3.2" screen, I find the experience to be much better than the one I have with my HD2.
Thus, I'm getting a Desire.
(I'd buy a Samsung Galaxy S with 4" screen, but I want at least one LED for the camera: http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/samsung-announces-galaxy-s-android-smartphone/)

Same thing.

Taskfacade has nothing to do with that... except that it looks similar, but totally different functionality.

The biggest differences between 1.6 & 2.1 (Screenshots)

Have tried and compare my and a friends screenhots of the 2 different Android versions (1.6 & 2.1)
The impressive change in my eyes is enough the calculator

More screenshots here.

Impressive
one of the differences is the calling screen, I liked the 2.1's where you can easily put on speaker or do other stuff

Aw, I didn't even realise the calculator changed. I liked it before.

Aw, would of been nice if they based the calculator more on the dialer, then i'd like it more.
The 1.6 one looks um "old" while the 2.1 one looks sorta out of place for a calculator haha.

The 1.6 slide-to-unlock wasn't that bad, let alone the sliding lag..Actually it was different from the usual slide locks/unlocks but the lag was awful so I prefer the 2.1 one!

tip for the day
you can actually continue to slide unlock in the same pattern as 1.6, you do not have to use the slide across the screen as indicated on the lockscreen.
see screenshot and try to unlock as shown with the red arrow (ie - the old way)
it still works

Thats pretty cool! It was easier to slide the old one. More ergonomic if that's the right word for it.

is good hey
btw - love the Mitch Hedberg quote! shame he's gone, he was brilliant

of corse the arch slide works..
the screen dose not track that your finger has left where the slider is but still tracks your finger move to the right and thus it unlocks

ya .. UI looks more elegant and rich.. and particualrly the android linked UI like drop downs , icons .. and other menu stuff and all looks a lot better

Love the new calculator. i can actually use it now without pressing every key at once!!

Are you serious?
How have you managed to do anything on the X10? Most actions require much more focused presses (eg. text messaging)
I dislike the thicker notification bar at the top, I don't see any viable reason to make it more like the stock size.

Cool, anybody got any screengrabs of the x10 mini post update?

ah, they beat Gingerbread to the punch!
I've been on MIUI for a while, due to the toggles in the notification bar and the kinetic scrolling, but miss everything CM has. Looks like CM has filled the void on both parts.. its just not as pretty maybe

Use a theme, itll get real pretty

I like the lighter colors in menus on miui, and the in-call screen is beautiful. I don't think a theme could bring that into CM.

Only thing I don't like is that it "snaps" when you scrolls slowly to the bottom of the list. It gets really annoying when you wanna reach the last option in the list without scrolling like a furious monster xD
Also it seems that it also allows some things that AREN'T lists to scroll...that's also annoying (can be seen while manually installing an app I think)

Webpages bounce too. I've never been a big fan of bouncy. Sure it may appease the common folk, but in reality watching it bounce around when I could be selecting something is NEH for me.
I am still leaving it on just in case it catches on.

it's kinetic scrolling...like if you scroll down a list the list acts as if elastic. It's a UI feature all over the iPhone.

Kentic scrolling is when you flick the screen and it continues to scroll even after your finger is gone?

funny thing is I knew that. didn't stop me from saying the wrong thing. LOL

I think that this effect make that the app 3d drawer of LauncherPro 0.8.1.1 doesn't work properly (even if the bounce effect it's disabled)
any solution?

idea for live wallpaper

i have an idea for a live wallpaper:
please feel free to make it/give suggestions
a whiteboard!​
so, it would be a white background and you can just draw on it
it would be like a htc notes widget but for the whole home screens
what do you think?
AND it wouldnt use that much battery because it isnt very cpu intensive, doesnt use gps/camera/accelerometer/etc

+1. great idea!

LOL man you such a creative mind......best idea ever +10

it's a great idea, maybe it would be good to include a diffrent array n styles of boards too, like a blackboard and chalk, and a cork notice board, after you write something it could make it look like a paper note with a drawing pin in

I think it would be a better if this was a widget for an application of this type.
But, you had a great idea.

lol Nice action

yeah i like this idea, perhaps a live wallpaper option could be an image/wallpaper and the whiteboard marker colour

+1 to good idea
Only problem I could see is, how would you differentiate between drawing on the whiteboard and a gesture, say switching between home screens?

Like the above poster said, how would you differentiate between using the live wallpaper and simple command gestures?

You could use somthing simple like a double tap on the live wallpaper, this could bring up like a virtual pen or chalk, that would follow your finger as you draw, another double tap and the "pen" could disapear, and you would be free to use gestures, it would also be nice to wipe the screen (delete) with a shake like a etch-a-sketch

This would be great if you could share the whiteboard with others ie. the mrs etc.

C'mon guys we have a smartphone! this shoudn't be a problem.
we could use the idea mentioned above or:
Tap and hold with one finger and switch between homescreens with another finger.
we also could use the functionality of the pinch to zoom -like we have on the stock DHD to show all home screens- to do some other simple command gestures.
but right now our problem is a developer, and that is why we are here on XDA

The idea is an intuitive one. The problem of swiping from one screen to the next could easily be overcome with this solution:
Notice how, when you have a widget on one screen, you tend to hold it and "push" it to the left or right. The same idea could be applied here. If you wish to move to left or right, just drwg finger across to the edge of the screen. This should also used in effect with the application of another concept introduced by a member a few posts up. The Live Wallpaper should be a clean slate of any colour desired. Clicking on a widget that comes with the LWP activates the board/marker tool. While in this "mode" touching the menu button brings up a window offering an assortment of options, eg pen size, colour etc. When out of this mode, swiping left right is just like normal. Also, the "state" of the LWP and widget can be preserved/saved. One final idea that comes to my mind is that rotating the device sideways while in drawing mode, rotates the home screen. However, all widgets should disappear, leaving us with just the paper, in effect.
Last but not least, I believe the OP should learn and develop this himself. It is an opportunity to nurture and grow an idea, build upon it and continue to improve it. It will help pass the time, and broaden your knowledge database. And you can maintain this thread, ask people for ideas etc. It will be fun. I hope I put my point(s) across

gr8 idea +5

any results of it?
because I am going to create similar wlp
and I don't want to make double app for almost the same thing?

3D interface for Nexus S (works on N1)

Check out this cool 3D interface for the Nexus S. I installed using Dropbox On my wife's Nexus S and was so impressed I tried it on my N1 and it seems to be working fine. So smooth... just like the video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ys7gua-noOE
MOD EDIT: This is an unauthorized and leaked beta build. As such it is considered warez and has been removed.
You have to have 2.3.3

Wow, that's great! Thank you so much!
But aren't there any settings to configure it?

I'm still playing with it but I find the N1 menu key works on most screens and some screens have there own menu key at the top right.

tank you very nice

Looks great, downloaded onto N1 but cant access it. How did you apply this to the N1
Thanks

Press home.
What's 3D about it exactly anyway? Just a bunch of homescreens? Quite funky though.

I used Dropbox. It installed without an issue. My Nexus one is stock. My wife's Nexus S is also stock.

It's SPB shell

At first it doesn't look like there are but it's actually pretty customizable. You can re-arrange and/or remove panels by pressing menu and then choosing Manage Panels. If you long press on any icon (Not in 3D) you can then press the arrows to view the different layouts of certain applications/settings. Some items like Tools have an additional editing button (Available when the arrows can be pressed) which allows you to move certain items around or add/remove them.
It's a nice launcher but the 3D interface seems very touchy, is anyone else finding that also?

Pretty sure this is about to get locked.
Isn't this warez?

Yeah, this is an illegal leaked copy, isn't it?

Testing
Hello I just wanted to let everyone know I tested this on my nexus one running cm7 rc1 which runns off of android 2.3.2 and it works with no problem.
Would keep it on my phone but just for showing it off.. since it is pretty cool put otherwise it eats up ram like crazy!

Might be warez, it's not even realeased yet. http://spb.com/android-software/mobileshell/
Edit: It's in a private beta, so the version you posted is probably a leaked one. http://getandroidstuff.com/spb-mobile-shell-android-50-home-replacement-app-hits-beta-sign/

Looks very impressive but it's not for us minimalists! Great to show off to your friends though

Well, its not for the rest of us here anyway until cm7 come with 2.3.3.
Im not trying it yet but from what i see its to much animation. I still prefer the Miui interface.
