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.

Haha, nice one
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.
Okay so like yeaah. This may sound stupid but here's what I'm thinking. Because there are so many UI's like the Blur from Motorola. Sense from HTC. Blaah blah blah, why not make a custom one. We can make it based off of what the people want. Honestly, I like Blur (Don't laugh at me!) So why not try to get t how we like it. I know everybody's going to want something different, but why not try? We can try to take different parts of different UIs, and put them together and make our own. I know it's lame and all, but think about it. Don't keep reading... pause for 5 seconds. Okay now think about it and stop reading. We can even make this UI use-able for Vanilla Android 2.1 and 1.6 (and even people on 1.5 [hahahaa]). And hey, maybe it'll be so good that the Swagger Jacker Windows Mobile users can Swagger Jack it from us. So what do you say, wanna give it a shot?
where do we start? im interested
Idk. I posted here to see if anyone who knew who to do it was interested and wanted to help. I think we should start Googling.
lol.. trolling is fun
Fosho it is =] I'm trollin on 22's.
But lets be honest, a custom UI like MotoBlur is just like a theme. You just falsh it over something and make it look different and add-on some more widgets and etc... Motoblur is just 1.6 with a custom UI. Not saying that I like it, but it's okay and I mean, what's different from MotoBlur and Android 1.5? Notification Bar, Widgets, More tabs on the bottom, different clock, and more Social Networing connections. How hard would that be to make. We already have our own Widgets. Fasttest I think was the first to make the amazing looking clock that is now used in SuperCSDIv4 Rex3MixCSDI has a Black Notification Bar. We can make some custom Icons. We could Theme ADW_Launcher and give the bottom two buttons some use like how on Sense, you can go to;
All Apps-Phone-Add Widgets
and on MotoBlur, you have;
Phone-All Apps- Contacts
Why not make our own. Give it some customization. Take some random peoples requests. All these UIs and stuff, their all (I think I'm almos 100% correct on this, think about it) Home Replacements. Like BetterCut, DxTop, Home++. They all chang everything and give you more widgets. With MotoBlur and Sense you get new Boot Screens. We can do that. Make everything look cool. We been doing that. Why not make it. Post it on Google.Code. Be everywhere. Everyone will be talking about us and how cool we are. Port it to all the cool devices. Other then a few apps and Modifications, Custom UIs are just Themes. Like Enoch, JesterDroid, etc...
I may not know too much about coding and things like that, but I have more than enough experience with graphics and such. I'm all for this idea so if you need any help designing or just ideas you can pm me or add me on gtalk: [email protected]
Yeaaah, that's what I was waiting for. I thought about the same thing not too long ago. My opinion is, that for maybe the biggest android community it shouldn't be a problem. So good luck
I'm interested in seeing what could be made up. There are a lot of great features from all of the different themes out there, and piecing them together could be awesome if done right. I think a design should be aimed at before you have a million people all willy-nilly trying to make them. We should design, then build, then post a how to, that way the rest of the community can make their own based off of a common idea.
Now can we get anyone up in here who know how to make widgets? WE NEED WIDGETS UP IN HERE!

Maybe you could ask Koxx he creates, very good widgets, with great functionality.
Thanks I'll PM him right away. This is going so well!
So any advancement in this?
I PM'd koxx, but he didn't say anything back yet. I'll wait. Until then, anyone know how to add the little tabs on the bottom, like how MotoBlur has Dialer/All Apps/Contacts, what do you guys think we should make it. Gimmie some opinions.
Re: [THINK TANK] Sippin' on Tea UI
ok kl. Im not sure on how to add buttons. maybe look at one of the launcher2 modifications where buttons were added.
Sent from my T-Mobile G1 using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
That's a really good idea, I could ask one of those Devs. Do you know who made it? That's a really good idea I love you guy. As a bro.
Okay. Here are some links to some threads with customized buttons. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645683 <-- link to helix launcher and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630659&highlight=doc <-- link to launcher with buttons.
We'll be using the Launcher with Buttons. It's better becuase we can use only two buttons instead of 5. All we need to do is replace the Left and Right tabs, and make the Middle tab a different image so that the Launcher looks better. I think for the All Application Drawer, we could use the 2.1 rectangle. We could make it go like a straight line like the Espresso Launcher, but without the curved corners, ours is going to get all the way to the end of the screen. We could... give me some more ideas on what to put on the left and right tabs, what do you use most. For me it's Messaging and Brower.
Re: [THINK TANK] Sippin' on Tea UI
i think the left tab should be contacts, middle all apps, and right should be direct message. just like on GDE.

Taken into consideration, post will be saved for future refrence. Here's the thing, this is a CUSTOM UI. We are not trying to copy any ideas. But yeah I do text a lot so that'll probably be one of them. In fact, I contacted one of the people who makes Custom Launchers and asked him if he could make his a little different then it already s, so that people could choose what they want where. This is a Custom UI by the people, for the people.
Re: [THINK TANK] Custom UI *BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE*
okay good. now we need to come up with a theme and a list of neccessary widgets needed.

I don't know. Looks more like a gimmick than anything, not to mention that it's just another screen to provide power to.
As for the lockscreen, won't know till the ROM hits/leaks.
i kind of assumed as much. i just wondered if there was a theme or other modification that someone had built.
as for the phone, it just looks TOO big to me! (i know, thats what she said)
Glad to see just more and more great android phones coming out though. Restriction to select hardware hurt apple in the past - I assume all the options will get android nabbing more and more of the marketshare, and bring in more innovators/apps. Still waiting on an android worldphone, though....
Why is it not mandatory for people to post screen shots of their ROM, when submitting a new thread for people to try it?
I personally don't wanna waste time and hassle flashing a ROM to find out it's ugly and not well made.
You can spend hours, days, weeks building a ROM.. but can't take 3 seconds or less to take a screen shot?
Why should it be made mandatory? We all know what Sense ROMs look like. We all know what AOSP ROMs look like, we all know what Miui ROMs look like. If you cannot put two and two together to get four maybe you shouldn't be flashing ROMs. Screen Shots do very little to illustrate how well a ROM preforms. It just shows what it looks like. You don't look in the paper for a car and think "i want that car" without test driving it first. And you do not rely on other people test driving the car for you then reporting back to you.
I personally have no problems with them not offering screen shots for their ROMs. I'd rather download it and install it and test it for myself. After all it's easy for us to say what we like on your phone.
Because if the ROM is not themed (which will be stated) they all basically look the same. We all know what AOSP looks like, and we all know what Sense looks like. Why would you judge the ROM off of someone else's wallpaper?

Thats the point. Now we know diff Sense variant with GingerSense (2/2.1/3) but far as AOSP based goes few that lets not name is all same with just nice polished theme, thats about it. So for new users who don't know where the sourcetree came from they wouldn't understand A,B,C,D,E rom's as they are all same so SS is required. But for people who does know the change log alone speaks louder than the UI. This is why most stick with pure CM7 (NB/RC/SR) based.

I understand where you are coming from. but though out time i'm sure any Android user has seen all of the different UI's. They might not know what they are named, but they know what they are, and have seen them. That's kinda the point i'm getting at. I'm not trying to sound like a jackwagon but someone doesn't need to hold their respective hands 24 / 7.
Self accountability and self responsibility i guess is a thing of the past.

And i completely agree with your judgment call on leaving vanilla just plain vanilla.
mmcblk said:
But you miss the point again. Most of those new roms now are all CM7 spin off and they honestly offer nothing new other than the Theme. This is not debate about UI as we know what it looks like but this is to shed light on the folks who puts a theme and declare it a rom. SS is needed because they have diff theme if it was plain vanilla they wouldn't exist now would it? Now I am not bashing any dev's but come on do we really want to go in that path.

I guess we are side stepping each others argument. We'd make good politicians . SS would provide a good insight to how the ROM is theme'd, and how it looks... And i'll give you that. But it will not do any justification on how well the ROM runs. How smooth it is or anything. My point still stands. Screens shots will not tell you how well a ROM is built it only tells you how it looks.
I agree with the OP, ss should be mandatory if you've done any form of custom graphical changes. While it wont depict the performance, it sure will give an idea on the appearance. Whether its food, cars, women & even roms, appearance is a deal breaker for me

This thread reminds me of trying to get my wife to pick out an adw theme...she was so fixated on what the wallpaper looked like in the sceen shots that it made her dislike some of the themes. There aren't many super themed out ROMs in our dev section, and the ones that are do have screen shots. Like I said, for the most part you are just going to get a picture of the wallpaper someone is using.
Are you new to the modding community?
Do you have no Idea what your doing?
Did you recently purchase a kindle fire and put that fresh MIUI Rom on your kindle because you got tired of stock, and have no idea why it looks funny?
If you have any of these questions im here to help.
If you recently flashed the MIUI Rom for the kindle fire and have no idea why there are huge icons and small icons i thought i take the time to show you a simple fix.
First if you already didn't do this download the rom this can be found here:

Here is a compilation of iphone sounds. They are not made by me so all the credits go to the authors (Apple,...), i just put the files in a .zip archive You can download this sounds at this link: http://www.mediafire.com/?kwujhpbu37a9dlh
How to install: Use ES File Explorer root explorer or adb to push this files because their is a root access to system files. -iphone UI sounds: put the files (.ogg) in this folder \system\media\audio\ui -iphone rings/alarm: put the files (.mp3) in this folder: \system\media\audio\ringtones ,and/or \system\media\audio\alarms -the iphone default sms received ring: put the "apple_smsreceived.mp3" in this folder: \system\media\audio\notifications
And Bam your MIUI rom is complete hope you enjoyed
Here is a video of such!
Thanks everyone
Another thing if you don't want the iPhone sounds but want the keyboard sounds go into smart keyboard pro and go into smart keyboard pro settings and click on sound and vibrate Turn On Sound on key press Select Sound style to iPhone and make sure vibrate is on
Nice write up, But you need to mention and let people know that this is a Chinese based Rom , And let them make the choice MIUI People never mention that, now I am not being racist but I do not trust it.
Holy crap, Ima download this.
Why not just buy an iphone because that is basically the end result

I think all the apple haters need to lay off already and come to the reality that, as hard to believe as it may sound, apple did a good job on making its software look spectacular. I personally think Android is better for a number of reasons that I wont mention here, but I still think the look and feel of iOS still looks better than android up until Ice Cream Sandwich. Its all a matter of preference.
