Iphone for the Artemis

Hi to all you programmers, would it be possible for you to build a rom for the Artemis that will make it look and feel like an Iphone, i think it would be of benefit for the Artemis as it would use the touch screen system more, i have tried many diff, roms and would like to try an Iphone rom for my phone i would go out and by the Iphone but dont have that sought of money. any way i hope someone will let me know if it is possible to build an iphone for the artemis.

Sounds like combining a car and a motorbike and this is not a trike forum. Of course it's possible but you probably won't find any good chef right now that wants to do that. I suppose the best would be to cook it yourself.

apple are an even more closed software company then ms are
and the hardware is not the same
best you can hope for are the iphone skins i'd say

disgusting request, honestly. if you wanted an iphone, then sell your artemis and get the iphone. you don't list where you are, but if you're in the states, a used artemis isn't worth much less than a new unlocked iphone

You could try this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349861 I haven't myself, sounds like folks say it's a bit slow on some devices but it looks promising for future versions. Not seen an Iphone in the flesh, but I have seen wm6 which without cooking has the most disappointing power to usability ratio, Iphone at least woke us all up a bit.

Problem too, is that "IPhone" is a registred trademark of Apple, the creator of Iphone like for our PDA, in Thailand, was requested to stop anything about "IPhone" creation. Naturally that was too late and there went source code many time downloaded fron his website. At this time there are many free application that look like "IPhone" and one that you can buy on the net is iLaunch.

Samsung Ominia

Has anyone made a ROM using the Samsung Ominia User Interface? i saw it on youtube the other day and it looks cool i was just wondering if anyone can make it.

I could. The Omnia interface is nice, but its not all that better than the M2D imo.

ofcoursee NOTHIN is better then ur ROM (1.27 BELL) that i m running ryte now NO doubt about that.
but its nice to have different things you know to see little change in our HTC TOUCH thats what i think. you dont have to do it just for me. beacause i do understand it takes countless amount of hours and hard work.
soo if more people agree and if they want it too, then ill kindly request you too make it.
I KNOW tht if ur gonna make it then it will be the BEST thing out there!!
thanxx alott bro

im sorry but that would be wicked !!!!!! the FEWedgets plugin was cool for a minute but boring, to limited.. and not tha best quality.. I aswell wouldn't ask for tha amount of work to be put in.. but 4real that would be pretty sick! imo

yea ehh thats what i thought
no doubt it takes lots of hard work but if we have more people wanting this
then we can kindly request NFSFAN to make one for us.
so can everyone who wants this ROM just post a reply saying "yea this would be nice or yes u want want this ROM.

yea this would be nice!

Hey all,
One of the guys I work with actually has one of these phones and I played around with it for a couple hours the other day, and IMHO the interface kinda sucks LOL
While the wow and cool factor lasted maybe 10 minutes or so the actual usability and functionality of the phone with added configs and settings didnt really do alot to the form and feel of the phone compared to anything custom on a WinMO device, Android (referring to the Vogue port of Android) or even the IPhone
Really, the adding and removal of the widgets are nice, but its through 5 hoops to get to any real apps or make any useful activity of the phone plus with the smallish screen on a vogue device the widgets would dominate the available area and with like the Omnia start apps without the intention of wanting them opened when trying to open something else.
Again, not against it, but seriously I dont see anything all that useful other than a few minutes of wowability until the omnia gui is unchecked and tf2d or standard WinMO UI would be re-enabled by the user - of course to each their own and if the desire is there enough someone will build it although I would personally love to see more progress into the area of WinMO 6.5 or 7 than the Omnias interface or even more stability and speed being developed and worked on for the existing 6.1 WinMO/Custom ROM that currently exist

I'm with him ^^^. The gui doesn't really appeal to me, but like I said, depending on the factor of people wanting this, I may consider making a ROM using it. When a reliable and real build of WM6.5 comes out, I will port it to the Vogue.

lol yea I kinda agree, still would be cool, just to say tho.. any possibilty geting a omina style on screen mouse cursor ? its cool in skyfire, but if possible to port that to be able to use thru out menues etc on a htc would be sick!
just a thought

I would also like this. It reminds me of the Android, with the removable widgets. It's nice to have a change every once in awhile!

Not gonna lie I would like to see this a lot

I would like it I'm actually thinking of getting one when my phone is up for renewal or a blackberry storm....just wish there was something new and exciting coming out just seem like we have maxed out the vogue. And android seems like a pain in the ass to get going from reading the thread to many damn steps and buttons that do the opposite of what they were intended to do?!??!

+1 on the boring UI. It would be cool, but the avail widgets are quite useless and can't be used with other plugins. One thing I found odd was that you can't lock the widgets into place, so everytime you click, they move.

I just think the mouse feature would be really cool to have.

Mouse
Hey, those of you wanting the mouse feature, you might wanna try a program called VirtuaMouse One-Hand. I know it's probably not the exact same but it's somewhat the same concept.

WOOWW... Amazing project!
Thanks to the TS.
I will give it a try when it's ready.

if you really want that sort of ui u will get in few mins just go to wad and create it one its as simple as creating a silly html webpage and i am not that perfect in those things but i came to know when i used concept theme very recent.
why dont people start better ui rather den copying a simmillar one even the placement of icons...
so pity.
sorry if i offend or hurt anyone but thats damn truth anything mere ui is appreciated den a silly copy

Hm
it looks good and it appears to go further than any other UI with the exception on Touch Flo 3D. I am impressed with what you have even if you appear to have taken the photographs with a pinhole camera from the early 20th century!
What I feel is needed in such a project is a set of icons that have a similar theme running throughout, that are hi-res and professional looking.
Get a good graphic design artist onboard from the outset. There are plenty here.
Good luck and I wish you well.

u guys seriously like the iPhone UI look? i hate it. it reminds me of my desktop. icons everywhere.

GooGooGOgoOGo ! ~

Guys,
Are you working on something similar to this?
Cheers.

What about animations? Can we expect such stuff as sliding between screens/ rotating animation or anything?

I do like the effort of making a new UI but if I wanted an iPhone I would have bought one.. This is just to much of a copy for me..

Good job, but I never understand why there is so much enthusiasm to do with a Windows Mobile device an iPhone ! It's just my opinion,but in this case I prefer to buy an iPhone ...

it's very wonderful work man

not bad

It's really great.
is it consume much memory while this ui is loaded ? as compare with HD TFLO 3D ?

Let´s See how it works!Looks very good!

Looks interesting~ Wish could see new release very soon.

I am more interested in what this gives over things such as ifonz or iphonetoday, both things which emulate the same sort of UI design. As someone posted earlier, does it come with animated transitions or is it gearedtowards being fast/
Either way, im interested to see how this turns out.
I have to admit though, it doesnt seem entirely logical to make an expensive phone look like a not so expensive, widely used phone...

I was using an iPhone 3G before my current HD and I did not like the screen full of icon look. I prefer the TF3D where I can view my calendar at the home screen right away so I'll probably give this a miss. But what I DO like about the iPhone is that everything is designed for touch use unlike WM where beyond the UI, it's still the touch-unfriendly interface where I have to use a stylus. If there is a UI that allows for that in WM, then it's perfect for me!

It´s amazing the iphone effect on people. The apple marketing guys are very efficient in creating a worldwide desire for that fruit.
You can see a lot of iphone type interfaces for every platform. I´ve recently found one for symbiam.
I would like to see a touchflo for iphone, for instance........

TP2 or no TP2 - that is the question

Hey there,
I think about getting a TP2.
Would you recommend it? What about the phone qualitiy and the touchscreen (I don't expect it to be like the iPhone, but I do not want to use the stylus all the time - I'm very surprised of the TD 2! Is it compareable)?
I'd like to have a fast phone I do not need to reboot every second.
Is even WinMo good enough nowadays?
Maybe Android is better for the future since HTC develops more Android-Phones by now? Or could it even be possible to put Android onto the TP2?

There are a lot of threads like htis out there. In short, The screen is better than the diamond. Seems a bit more sensitive but probably becausei t's igger. you won't need the stylus a lot. Questions like: is WM good enough or is it better to go android aren't to be awnsered quickly. It depends on you personal needs. I would search the forum a bit because there is a lot of info en oppinion about these subjects

Welcome to the XDA forums!
A word of advice - search before starting new threads, or you'll get flamed. There are a number of other threads already here about the merits of the Touch pro2 & most of your questions could be answered by looking around the existing threads.
I'd recommend reading & watching reviews and reading the forums - you'll get all the info you need from them, and then if it seems good you could even try a TP2 out at a local shop.
I think everyone I've heard from would fully recommend the TP2, and I would too - I don't think you'd be disappointed.

As everyone says this has been asked many times, I myself am guilty of it too.
I will try to put it in as short paragraph as possible:
Build quality is good if you put in perspective exactly what it is and what it can do for you
Screen is excellent albeit finger print prone, but what do you expect
Touch screen - no problems whatsoever
Keyboard - Have not used it yet, the touch screen is good enough for me! I use it ALOT
Win Mobile - Masked very well by TouchFlo
Features - Where do you want me to start? it does everything!
Battery - Incredibly good considering what you can with the phone (2 days so far since a 12 hour charge with moderate use - internet/emails/facebook/twitter/sms/one phone call)
My advice - go and see both the TP2 & D2 in a store, the Diamond 2 is a very good phone and if you dont need the keyboard and a more powerful battery (regardless of what magic HTC did with the D2 battery, its still under-powered) then I would seriously consider the D2 aswell.

if you really need physical keyboard, then go for TP2...
I myself used to have blue angel for about 5 years, and maybe only used the physical keyboard once or twice.. hahha... its useless for me... got tired of carrying bulky phone..
now, I am using D2 and didnt regret it at all... I love the size, its small enuf as a phone, but the screen is big enuf to do stuff... and dont forget about the price too, its a lot cheaper than TP2, with the same specs

funny............ don't worry mate its a no brainer! superadvan gave it to you in a nutshell and was spot on! td2 though similarly spec'd is rather dull and under performs IMO! very rushed update to the highly populae td1 and HTC got it wrong again. tp2 on the other hand is a very refined device and everything works as it should even touchflo, yes i said touchflo. winmo is very well hidden behind manila mask but alas some of the old drawbacks remain. however once hardspl is released for this device there will be many custom roms available with winmo 6.5 you will be very pleased. winmo is not totally finger friendly at moment but nohing wrong in using stylus every now and then!

I would rather have a WM based phone over a Linux based phone anyday.
My wife had a linux based phone before and the thing kept dropping the bluetooth connection - not a good thing when needed for hands free.

Touchxperience, it's coming to wp7

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FEcG0kx7_0&feature=player_embedded
it looks freaking awesome

You also forgot to mention advanced config tool is coming to wp7 as well from the great schaps. Not sure if they will be sideloaded or from the marketplace yet.

Stuff like this was cool back in WinMo, but I wouldn't dig something like this on WP7. It takes a lovely interface and yuks it up.

It looks very boring and silly. The standard is far away... On the better way

Exactly, I won't install this 2007-looking-****. That is why I don't think I'll EVER install a "facelift" tweak/app on a Windows Phone if it doesn't come from MS.
I love the minimalistic big clean UI . There's nothing like it on the market and it's one of the main reasons (if not the main) of buying my HD7

I think advanced config tool will be much needed for wp7. It is a good os overall which has left me chill on modding heavily

I saw more black screens than anything else on the video.

I really hope this is not the future of wp7... Respect the skills of the programmer, but I think Microsoft, who put a huge ammount of money and time in the Metro design, did a pretty good job!

don't worry this will be the same as htc hup (if not it wound be in the marketplace)
if you look at the youtube video you see that julien is only using the back button and not the windows button.
here isa link to his profile http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=354354

well...I liked the initiative for the project personally and there are elements I enjoy. I really wouldn't mind a program that functions similarly to htc hub but adds a lot of useful things to wp7 experience
so I would love to test this once betas are released

Probably wont be approved, looks like it has system access which isnt allowed. Plus it really is pointless, WP7 is fine the way it is.

don't think so , way would he make a complete UI only for phones that are dev unlocked , batt is a simple .reg key , wifi is a simple .reg key , netwerk (3g , H eV) are also simple .reg key's .
the rest you see are simple links to marketplace (same as marketplace search)

Mmm, not interested. I like Metro just fine, thanks.

the problem is that it is to little and to late , I WAS really in love with Touchxperience on wm6.*(but it was never ready ) but on wp7 I really don't want it .

You can't modify reg keys, it won't be approved.

Yeah, I agree with pretty much everyone else here. This app is similar to the Xperia X10. Offers too little and too late.
The current UI is badass, brilliant and intuitive. Why would we want this anymore?
It would've been killer on 6.5 but now? NTY

who's talking about modifying .reg key's , you only need the read them for batt and wifi/operator

This vaporware hasn't died completely yet?! I thought we got over this 3 years ago.
