Can we have live wallpaper? All my friends are getting new HTCs and they have nice live wallpapers, I love my tilt 2 and don't wanna purchase a new HTC just for that cool feature which I love.

Well... in Windows Mobile, I don't believe you can. But you can in android. Hop on over to the android development section for the rhodium. It isn't suggested to run live wallpapers even in android though. They make the battery life far worse and they don't run that well on our devices.
hey man, if your into all that... just get an android.
a person like you will like this phone less and less the more you see all the other gimmicky garbage the newer phones do.
There are live map wallpapers if you are into that. You will need data or wifi though

I found the following link pretty interesting.. It looks like we've had some sort of wallpaper animation all along. I just checked in my window folder and I have all manila files used to make it work(default of course). Not sure if it'll work with cht. If you give it a try let us know how it works out. Here's the link.. My animated backgrounds for sense 2.5(31-3-2010)
On my Sprint TP2 i've got "Animated Wallpapers", they have a bubble fly across the screen or something similar every now and then. Even though they are not "live" wallpapers, and are very basic it creates tons of lag when switching to the home tab.

I just came across this and thought it was pretty interesting app for the iphone. Wanted to share it with the community just in case any of the developers in here are intending on working (or currently working on) a program launcher.

Two items that caught my attention was:
1) Home screen plug-in like cLauncher / iLauncher but with finger friendly scrolling feature. Scrollable up or down like PocketCM or flickable pages like in PointUI clock/calendar/tasks.
2) Click on the edge and it has a Mac dock style launcher. Would be nice to have a button in the tray that when tapped could popup a launcher like this.
Or heck...why not have a Finger Friendly Start Menu?? What is the #1 application that all of us use on daily basis? Of course...our Start Menu.
As a website developer I like having people show me new website ideas. It helps inspire me. So just wanted to do the same when I come across something that might interest you Devs in here
Nice !. I wish we had something similar for wm6
Damn.. iPhone's UI is already awesome and they're making it even more awesome! When are we going to see such quality in WM's UIs? *sigh* The moment thay make an iPhone with 3.5G. I'm getting one!

u'll have to wait till 2009 or 2010 for it as its the release year of WM 7 a.k.a Touch
Yup kinda sad that all these iphone hackers/developers have a big advantage. They don't have to fix the OS like our Devs do. Our WM devs are handicapped in that way.
We do have a lot of great non-finger friendly apps out there, but just nice to have these iphone-esque apps for the quick tasks that shouldn't entail us taking out our stylist or use the slide out keyboard.
hi, i searched up 'iphone' in this forums and found a lot of iphone themes. i think the Torx-Development one and iFonz from ssj5trunks are the best. can you tell me which one looks and acts more like the iphone?
do you have to launch a program to make the theme work or does it start automatically hen i start the phone?
can you change the backgrounds of the themes?
thanks

I would have to agree with you. The animation when the icons are pressed is near identical to the iPhone's.
My opinion? Don't try to emulate the iphone on your PPC.
I own both an Iphone and an HTC Trinity, and i can tell you no program can come close to the incredible interface of the iphone. First and FOremost, the screen size, not to mention the smoothness of the animations.
So - either you get an iphone (Like I did), or you live with the "uglier" PPC GUI, but get advantage of much more functionality.
Just my 2 cents
Honestly, I used to be obsessed with making my phone look like the iPhone because I was planning to get one, but 3 days before it came out I got an 8525 instead because the iPhone was missing to many features that was important to me. So then I was skinning it to look that way, then it just got boring. I would reeally really reccomend SPB Mobile Shell 2. I really think its the best thing around, because it sex's up the hell out of Windows Mobile and makes it totally finger friendly and smooth. Plus with all the advances people are making customizing it, its becoming even better.
But if you absolutely had to, use iFonz.
can you change the keyboard and EVERYthing in itask to look like the iphone? or can i use resco keybaord and othe third arty plugins?
my family has an iphone, but im using windows mobile because of the more features
it started out as a little project for myself, and myself only.
i feel like the iphone ui is very intuitive and simple with a visual style thats pleasing.. theres nothing wrong with trying to mimic an easy to use interface.. and its to hold me over until att gets its network straight, and a 3g iphone is released.
thank you.

I am also waiting on that 3g iPhone. Was that, no video recording, and PTT that kept me from purchasing. I expect those features on the next iPhone release(except PTT) and I will be buying it then.

****...the Sony Ericsson Xperia is going to blow the iphone away
...and AT&T is going to carry it. Cha Ching
hey there,
is there a way to get the startmenu in iphone-style, so that there's not that ugly honeycomb-style in every menu?
important for the .cab is, that it changes every menu to the new, so also the "more" at settings, subfolders and so on.
tried several searchs at this forum, but got no results, only how to change the amount of columns.
thanks in advance.
s
for the hd they used to have a guy called tom cordan who made a cool start menu app dunno if hes done it for the hd2
please no offence !!
But it you want something that looks like and Iphone.... Maybe you should get the real thing.
Sorry but I think you bought the wrong phone
Come on guys this "just go buy an iPhone" response is a lazy, unfriendly response that seems to crop up on here as soon as anyone mentions an iPhone.
I have a HD2 and love it, but you can't deny that the iPhone OS has some clear advantages (in terms of style and use) over WM, and until we get WM7 what is wrong with asking if customisations are possible to make things more iPhone like?
Just because I might want a better interface or more stylish apps doesn't mean that I have forgotten the benefits that WM has over the iPhone in other areas, which is (for most of us) why we have the HD2 and not the iPhone

Agree 100%.
I couldn't stand the honeycomb program list when I tried it on my Diamond - much preferred the original layout. Don't think I ever said "Oh well, Iphone for me then...!"
Google "Numpty"
I don't like the honeycomb, too. But I also don't like an iPhone. I just want the icons to be side by side.

As much as I have distaste for his quest to make the HD2 look iPhone-esque, I can understand his aversion to the terrible locked-down/-in operating system, and subpar hardware.

A good way to replace the default Start screen and add the ability to define 2 Favourites screens as well as accessing Programs and Settings is to use Panoramic Launchpad . Costs $4 and worth every penny

I've never seen that app before (and I'm seen them all!) but that is very neat indeed! Will give that a go for sure, even though I'm "non-honeycomb" on my Diamond! And for only $4, it would be rude not too!
Cheers for the heads up.
Guys.. really i wasnt being lazy neither unfriendly.
I was giving my opinion on this matter.
Have to say i am A happy HD2 owner. and i do appriciate some aspects of the Iphone. And the community.
But (little bit off topic) remember the time when there was this program callled STYLEXP.
Where you coud re style every aspect of windows.
So you had your pentium II running windows 98 and you could not tell it it was OSX or something.
The red nissan in front of you on the road. small thing. has a 1.6 engine. But its bumper stickers tells you its a V16.
The girl who goes out shopping, but she is on a tight buget. so she goes shopping in her favorite budget store. as soon as she leaves the shop, she trades the bag of the bugdget shop for a bag from tiffanies.
Again i am sorry if i offended anyone not my intention.
But I would love to make the HD2 even more usefull. But i dont like the idea to make it look like some other phone be it iphone or a samsung or whatever.
I just watched a video on you tube of the Motorola Droid X. each widget you can long press and then resize the widget too any size on the screen and it automatically adjust. any chance of anyone working on this for our EVO's? I would be the first to donate.Here is the link. Starts at 2:27 into it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMG0Wjnuq3I
Proprietary code
I'm no expert, but if Motorola made their widgets the same way HTC made their's, then the widgets are tied to the launcher and their won't really be any way to extract them. Obviously someone could program something similar, the same way many HTC widgets have been replicated, but a true port of the software is probably impossible. Keep in mind these guys encrypted the bootloader on the device, so I don't think they are too keen on our Android hacking community to begin with, so extracting those widgets is probably impossible without Moto/Ninja-blur.
Thats definitely a cool feature for ADW Launcher to aim for.
i didnt exactly think they could steal that exact one but someone could make a similar option. Actually i was looking at some of cyanogens work and in one of his roms, he does have a resizer built in, not exactly as smooth as the droidx but would still be awesome to see on the EVO. And word is that he is building a rom for the evo now. He does some excellent work and i cant wait to see what he dreams up for the Evo.
Hello,
I was wondering whether it is at all possible for me to put a version of the iphone iOS onto my HTC TP2.
My gf broke her iphone and neither of us can afford to get a new one, and I'm about to upgrade my TP2 as my contract is ending soon.
I wanted to know if there is any sort of thing so that I can essentially get iPhone UI on the HTC.
She doesn't really care about the apps and software etc, just wants it to run like the iPhone as shes had one forever and really likes how it works etc.
Any help would be absolutely amazing!
Thanks
RMC
are u talking about a theme or the UI
if its about UI
well you cant
as it is not possible yet
but why dont you try android?? in the android developement
You can infact install "iPhone Today" google searches work wonders. I actually tried the theme myself, and it works quite well.
