WARNING IPHONE HATERS... (semi-clone on board)
Details here.. http://iwindowsmobile.com/vito-mobile-shell.html
Looks like its open season on hacking this now.
If I can only get it to somehow show calendar events on a page, its a hit.
Interesting. The only thing that stil pulls the I-phone ahead in this race is the speed at which it can use thier shell. I still love my PDA more though. Thanks for the link.
Hmmm...can't wait to see some skinning for this.
*update*
DL'd the cab from the website listed. It hasn't asked for an activation code yet...found activation screen, 14-day trial.
It is fairly easy to run, doesn't seem to take a lot of memory. Very similar to iPhone icon UI, not as 'fancy' looking.
looks boring
There is definite room for improvement...not too bad for a 1st version but it's typical of Vito software.
Contacts can be set up with their own icon and can be mixed in with application icons.
I would like to see something along the lines of SPB Mobile Shell though...i.e. Clock page, calendar. Then again, I suppose that will just fatten it up and cause some memory drain like SPB already does.
I'll try it...
I'll try it for a few days.Thanks.
Looks good but why always duplicate the iPhone interface, come up with something better. The new Diamond interface is like a breath of fresh air. It lets us know there are other options out there that is also good.
the most boring thing about vito apps is how cheap they all look. ugly, ugly, ugly.
looks too generic reminds me of samsung gui
something unique would have been more eye catching!
Nice one
Cool feature, but why use it when I have this baby..

**Update**
NM, I found this thread you were in...Is it WAD or WAD2 you're mostly using?

What was the warning for? Another dumb iPhone wan-a-be.
it's actually pretty nice... it just needs some graphical tweaks in my opinion...
Seems ok to me. Granted its similar to the iphone layout; however seems fairly simple and straightforward.
I like the semi black background without it being too black.
Everyone will have a view on this latest interface/gui. What we should remember is that there are people out ther doing an awful lot of development work to give us a better interface/more choice on the WM platform.
Constructive criticism and good points, e.g the request for skinning, is one thing. Simply lambasting the tool is not good enough.
Someone on here the other day was asking for ideas for a new UI for WM. Should we not seize on opportunities like this one presented to us?
Just my dollars worth.
WB
Winterface
I like the iPhone-like interface, and the customizeability. Aside from that, I agree that the overall apearance of SBP Mobile Shell is better.
amen! If I wanted an iPhone, I'd get a damned iPhone!!

is fine.... can you post?
I second WackyBanana.
It'd be great to have skinning sometime soon.
just my 2 cents worth, but iphone bashing is getting a bit droll, since we're all here on WM platforms anyways. You have to admit, Apple's UI's are pretty good, just really short on apps and customization.
So lets congratulate Vito and see if we can get some more customization options.
I would LOVE an option to turn off the Vito 'slide to unlock' option since I'm already using Slide2Unlock Pro 1.05...
like another person stated it looks boring! i wonder how well it will work? will it be speedy or sluggish?
I like the Facebook layout, so why not make a theme from it? This was first on MIUI-Dev, but with all the sh*t going on there, I decided to plant it here
(click to see bigger image)
What do you guys think? This is all still in Photoshop. There's still alot of work to do to finish this.
I'm planning to theme as much as possible (SMS/MMS, Dialer, Contacts, etc). But I will finish it up first in PS and then release the whole theme.
What has changed:
- New icon style (like the blue buttons in the popup in Facebook)
- Stricter colortype. Exactly the same colors as used in Facebook, except for the opened folder background, because of the white text
- A clean and clear notification dropdown, where background of notifications is 80% transparent
- Clear blue active action icons, grey and beveled in when not active
- in MMS/SMS a beveled in button with colored icon when that one is active, no beveled in and lightblue border for icons that are not active
Very cool
Cant wait to test drive it very cool concept dont give up
Awesome man, does dev's over at miui treat people like ****. the way he talks he must be one big dork.
Saw this one over at miui-devs yeah, looks promising...I would most certainly give this one a try
Still can't wait for this theme. Looks so sick. I really appreciate how complete you're making it and theming everything.

looking great! i just hope the theme turns out as full as it can be, and as consistent with facebook's design as possible. and also id prefer no themed icons only icon backgrounds because it annoys me when some icons i use are themed and some are not and it does not look good with half themed and half unthemed icons on my home screen, just icon backgrounds is great.

I was thinking of that too. When the theme is finished, I will release 2 packs: one with themed icons, other without. I will also provide a psd for people who want to create their own icons, and I will do weekly updates with those new icons in the theme.

looks great. can't wait!
Looks great dude, can't wait to try it.
Thanks everyone for the interest in this theme. The design for this theme has been slowed down due to me being sick and stuff. The last thing I themed whas the MMS/SMS layout. Been struggelin' with the colors alot. Also, I have no idea how I will make the foldericons look like... any thoughts from the community?
Firstly I think this theme looks flipping great. My opinion on the folder look would be to keep it true to the Facebook theme. Have the folder have a white backing and if possible have the apps list in blue text along side a smaller icon like a friend list. Not even sure something like this is possible, that's just how I see it in my head! Then again there's alot of crazy crap in there.
Keep up the awesome work.

Thanks for your comment. It is not possible to alter the listing options of the folder icon. It's defaulted to 4 icons in the folder icon.

Sorry guys/girls, due to me being sick theming has been slowed down... when I feel better and I can focus again theming will go on
Next week I will hope to have a beta version up, where icons, foldericons, opened folder, notification bar/pulldown and mms/sms is themed.
hurry up plz im ****ting myself for this theme... no jk take your time to get it right. but asap would be nice, no pressure thooo... ))

Combine the above with the rocket rom and the world explodes!!
Samsung's social media marketing team should hire you.
Nice job as always.
Is there any themes out there that changes the default icons for Phone, Contacts and Whatsapp? Those are the only 3 icons that are ruining the look for me right now. Using ADW EX.
The answer is yes

Yep sure, just download ADW EX theme packs (I use ADW elegant)
After doing this just simply:
-Long press your icon.
-Click edit.
-Select ADW theme packs and pick ADW elegant *or your choice
-Select your new icon.
-Done.
There's a section of this in my 3D UI tutorial vid.. Hope that helps!

What theme are you using for the one more clock ?
Looks Fantastic, is there a way to make it work in some fashion when in portrait mode. Thanks for sharing... has given me a bunch of ideas in terms of customization.
In terms of battery how much of a difference do you find over touchwiz, i had done this with my galaxy s2 previously using goEX and ADW but found the battery to be 15% less on average, using the same widgets etc. Is that old news now and do any of these widgets have any noticeable drain, as it does look fantastic.
you wouldn't mind sharing all those wallpapers, would you?
Nice video. The suggested apps should certainly augment to make the ULTIMATE NOTE even more interesting...
I froze the original launcher. Is there a way to make the interface look a certain way in landscape (like your interface) and a totally different look and interface in portrait mode? Would I have to keep two launchers active in order to achieve this and swap launchers depending on if I want to be in landscape or portrait? I think having two active launchers would slow the note down if thats what I had to do...
You showed SVOX in this vid. Did you ever try Ivona? It certainly needs more space but IMO it's way better.
How did you get the background To change as you flipped through the home pages?

After watching your clips, I go wild installing live wallies here and there. Not too fond of the aquatic wallpapers though PP, and I notice you may not have checked this one out (market.android.com/details?id=com.ramdroidstudios.livewallpaper.fireflies) which is far more playful and fun than staring at 'season zen' of that nature. I do love 'blue skies' a lot, thanks for recommending that!
Installed the A.I Keyboard and it's great. As a former WP7 user, I'm loving the theme and "click" sound from the WP7 keyboard. The keys are larger and I can type fast as well. Thanks!

There are many replacement dialers on the PlayStore. There's even one called KitKat dialer that gives you the KitKat basics. However, the best AOSP mimic I have found (I really don't like the KitKat dialer changes much) is ExDialer. There's a theme for it that matches the AOSP dialer very well, and it has quite a lot of customization options.
You'll not be able to entirely replace the Touchwiz Dialer without borking the system, so it's best not to try.

What carrier are you on? Jellybeans ROM have the dark with blue. Much better than the white.

For me, I find that the dark blue is difficult to read, given that it has a much lower contrast ratio to black, and when I consider the fact that blue pixels in the matrix burn out literally 10x faster than any the others and use more power while they are doing it, the desire for a blue accented theme vanishes entirely.

Unless themed, isn't the standard AOSP dialer blue and black? See if this post helps:

I know that i can use alternative dialer - but is not same as true AOSP dialer ..
wich is blazing fast , simple

It is, unless themed, and I was just saying that I think it's a stupid choice from a design perspective, for all the reasons I mentioned above. I was actually encouraged by the move away from the blue highlighting in KitKat, but it seems that it's beginning to trickle back in.

Definitely agree, KitKat and White is much better. One of the first things I do is change the status bar to white. Jellybeans, has a KitKat UI, but, it doesn't change the dialer.
I purchased the theme back on marshmallow because of the transparency/liquid theme. Now, that has long since been removed.
Does anyone know of any themes that would make a suitable replacement? I'm on a slightly older build of pure Nexus Android version is 7.1.1
I already have a navigation theme that I enjoy. The statusbar icons in mono are nice and simplistic.
Open to any and all recommendations though.
I'd prefer to stay away from paid themes, since this isn't the first time I've had a support issue.

MultiUI or Greyce are pretty good for me. I got sick of the "black" themes. My question, how is it that no one has made a grey matte theme?! Or even something similar to Suave back on CM9 AND CM10?! Man that theme was awesome!

Check out the theme called Compound by Daniel Schott. It's on my consideration list. It looks pretty good and has some nice grey. I really want a nice transparent one like liquid mono. I don't really like any solid color themes. I'm about to look at your recommendations now.
Edit: ya, nether of those really has the look I'm trying for. Thanks for the recommendations, regardless.

Loool!! Made a thread to find a theme, end up helping someone else find one they love! Works for me!
I just downloaded compound too. I'm digging it so far! Nearly everything seems themed. Still trying to figure out why a select few menus have white background though. Maybe it's just the style.

What rom are you on? I'm actually getting black font colour on grey UI. Was hoping there would be a distinction change to white font for those situations but he might not be done finding everything as yet.

I'm on a slightly older version of Pure Nexus. Most stuff seems consignee consistent. I had 80¢ from Google opinions, so I figured it was worth the small price. I'm happy with it, for the price I got it for.
Edit: @Jammol check out this page too. Might have some answers. https://plus.google.com/100639474939398785827
