HTC Hero GUI has profiles, any software giving the same on WM? - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

I had the opportunity to play with a Hero yesterday and I loved the fact that their Sense UI had multiple "profiles" or themes, so, for example, I could have one set of screens and widgets for work, and another for personal.
Is there a software that permits me to have the same on Windows Mobile? Thx

try this

Don't try it because ageye can't manage BT on/off

Thanks, but G-Profile is not what I had in mind. G-Profile offers settings profiles, whereas with Sense UI, you can set how the Home screens look, e.g., you can have one group of contacts for Favorites for work and another for personal.
Thanks anyway.

I really like the features of PhoneAlarm..

You can customize almost anything by Time/location/Powerstate
It controls MOST features of the phone...

Not in that thread, as you say, but feel free to look at other threads. They are there. Maybe they are slow on the uptake on supporting WM 6.5.

Exactly what I have been thinking of for a while...
sometimes wish i became a programmer, love what these guys can do, wish i had the power!
Well hopefully are wish will be answered.

Search the forum. The answer is there.
​
Check the wiki here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Tweaks
I think that they mean 4 programs per line in the TF3D tab. The above tweak changes the winmo interface.

Yep, I think you're right.
Yup 4 lines in the Manilla program tab. I would love this as its such a waste of space.
If i have Visual Studio i would install the Mobile SDK and start learning the language. I can write VB quite well so should adapt reasonably quickly.

Oh sorry... you want for the TF3D programs? That's my misunderstanding! This is to have 4 icons in Programs and Settings.
I think that till now i haven't seen something like that you request.
I asked the same questions before... and I think some of the users as well...
But no, so far I havent come across any solutions on that... :-(
it can be done with HD Tweak available on this forum. I've done it myselt. I've also done many other great tweaks.

If you read the above messages you will understand that the user requested something else. What you propose creates four in a row in the windows mobile environment in Settings and in Programs. The user has asked if there is a way to have four programs in a row in the TF3D tab. And the answer is No. At least so far.

Which UI are you using?

I'm still on my quest trying to find a UI to use... and not sure if this thread is already around...
Please vote...
You forgot about Titanium! (default WM 6.5 interface)
I guess it falls under "other", but it's still quite a main UI...
Ultimate Launch for me
Some Screns Shots of my UI with Ultimate Launch
@machina: wow..i like your today screen..
I use various plugins...
I used SPB Mobile Shell 2 for a long time but removed it...

Anyone using SPB Mobile Shell 3?

I love this app, but find it annoying that the Lifestyle Home page gets completely garbled when the display is in landscape mode. Has anyone figured out how to fix this?

You put the device into landscape mode, then arrange the icons how you want them. It'll remember where they should be in portrait and landscape modes independently.

The carousel does not seem as responsive in landscape, and it's a bit flickery; I tend to stick to the configurable pages, though.
Just curious, why used sbp shell 3 where you already have the Touchpro3D UI? That is why you buy HTC TP2 to make full used of it looks, functions and capabilities :> . Unless you have a phone just come with a standard mircosoft WM GUI , like those old WM phone :>
Im sure all the experts here will be able to develop more cool stuff here later with more custom looks :>
Ops! just my opinion. :>

SPB 3 v.s. TouchFlo
Personal fafourite!
I dont like the interface of TouchFlo so much.
SPB 3, takes the fully advantage of the phones possibility's.
Like the 3d accelerator!
Plus.. its more easy to handle!
and.. its idd.. Not free!!
When you love Touch FLo.. lucky you! It will cost you nothing more!!
greetzz
Can you run SPB Mobile Shell 3 together with Touch Flo 3D. I am loving Touch Flo 3D but feel really restricted by the amount of shortcuts and customization. I would only really use Mobile Shell Lifestyle screens to arrange my games.
Be aware! I have this problems... and also a buggy solution.
In my case TF3D is not working anymore... won't boot.

finger friendly email application

hi developers and all
i feel not good to start new thread but i thought its what "Blackstone is missing", i searched all around but i guess there is not "as such" finger friendly email application for htc touch hd (e.g sms-chat for sms has being tremendously appreciated) would be great even though its not the necessity of the this amazing device in fact would make it even more complete.
Thanks and many thanks if we could get one asap.
cheers..
Finger friendly email application?
Windows Mobile 6.5 has finger friendly email. However, I haven't really seen another application.

As far as I remember my previously installed 6.5, the implemented e-mail prog does't significantly differ from the 6.1 version regarding finger friendliness. So no need to change your ROM.
I dont think it differs at all. Still feels and looks like 90s

that and a text messaging application. manilla goes very deep now compared to its older versions so i wouldnt be surprised if the new version of touch flow 3d comes with this. think how the blackstone shipped with the winmo calendar and contacts and see how the topaz and Rhodium have far better, HTC programs.
I think that way they will integrate with touchflo too, but no one knows how long we could be waiting. Anyone know when the newest HTC devices are being released?

SPB mobile shell worth it?

Is it any better than TF3D? Should i just wait for windows mobile 6.5?

Why don't you try it? It's a big cab and it has a limited (15 days?) trial.
I ran it a little on my TP and went back to touchflo, it is nice though, definitively worth trying!

Plus you can toggle from TF3D to SPB when you want...

The calender is WAY better than the Touch Flo, but other than that, it is just personal preference.
I think SPB shell is much better, due to the ability to customize. Pretty active community as well, meaning a steady supply of new widgets and customizations. Plus it's easy on the battery.
Definitely recommend the 15 day trial.
Since there are no custom roms for the CMDA version I currently use it. I prefer it over touch flow as you can customize it alot more and it uses alot less memory than TF3D does. It has a nice interface and it's fun to use if you get bored with TF3D or regular WinMo 6.1. If you are resourceful enough, you can use it for more than the trial.
tried SPB Mobile Shell,it's gorgous,of course it's better than Malina TouchFlo3D,I like it so much.
but i had to uninstall SPB Mobile Shell,the reason? it is not good at organizing calls and SMS,when there is miss call,SPB Mobile Shell only shows it for a while,then there is no indication you can see that there was a miss call.
this is terribly bad management.
IMHO it was worth it prior to TF3D as plain Windows Mobile 6 was pretty boring.
Now however its kinda like the old guy at the club.
I think touchflo looks nice and clean....BUT, mobile shell is crazy on the personnalization. ? 6 pages for personnalization + weather total of 17 pages with contacts and others .....I love it !
Take a look, it's sence la révolution v2 theme

I tried it for day. But I like TF3D better. It's just simpler to me.

Looking forward to that, I'm always changing and opened to new ideas !
Touch Flo has some serious usability problems.
Email and text messaging for instance.
If you want to check those it is a 3 step process most of the time.
SPB did a really good job making it basically a one touch method.
The eye candy is not as good and the calendar needs work but overall its faster to get things done with basically no lag.
The facebook integration IMO is better as well.
Worth the money.
I installed this theme and nothing is displaying correctly. Any ideas on what went wrong/ It seems like nothing is centered correctly.

I haven't had this issue at all. My notifications stay until I view them.
MS3 is always the first program I install on my phones. Love it, can't live without it. I live on the lifestyle screen, customized just how I like it.
I tried it a couple of days ago, and I guess I'm just getting old. There was a LOT of customization that you could do with it but I just didn't feel like going through all that to get it the way I wanted it. Out the box, I still couldn't get what I was looking for. I switched back to TF3D, but that's not to say that one is better than the other. It's really personal choice. I got pretty much all I need with a few tweaks and TF3D, but if I get bored, the Hero skin for SPB MS3 is looking really good.
Does anyone have any idea why when i install this theme it makes everything on my screen jibberish?

I haven't personally installed the theme, I just googled it to see what came up. Try googling it (sence la révolution v2 theme) and looking it up from another website. There are a ton of spb mobile shell theme web sites. There are bunch on here as well.
Edit...Actually, here is the info on here about it. I was bored and searched it. Check this out.
