FlexMail, SPB Mobile Shell, and TouchFlo

Been searching for ages, and can't find a solution...
I love FlexMail, but don't like that it doesn't use TouchFlow for scrolling...
Also like SPB Mobile Shell, but the default Home Page mail link goes to the default Outlook mail program, not FlexMail.
Can these things be changed?
Ta.
No suggestions???

VITO Winterface 2.0 vs. Other shells

Hey guys,
Just got a mail from VITO about their second version of Winterface.
I think that comparing to other shell like SPB, TF3D, it's much more simple, but fast and lightweight.
Many people actualy like the simple approach and version 2.0 now includes some nice skins and UI customizations.
Will give it a try this weekend.
Hi
Ive just downloaded it and it seems that one cannot customise the interface much at all. You can move the icons about, but I cant see how to add whatever applications I want to whichever page. SPB Mobile shell is much more intuitive and powerful in this regard, either that, or winterface have managed to hide their "add widgets to this page" very well!

Adding Applications
Winterface is very easy to customize, easier than mobile shell. I have both and still prefer winterface. Just go to "menu" then "add" then "applications" Check as many as you want to add and they all add at once. Much easier than adding one at a time on mobile shell.
got any iPohne skins?
There is, but only for previous version of Winterface.

Manila or No Manila, what do you use?

Manila
No Manila
Just out of curiosity to see what you guys are using.
I personally dont use manila, with the default home screen i see everything im interested in on the main screen.
i use it and like it
now i wait for a final version of manila 2.6
wah im surprized haha,, i actually thought everyone would be using the default home screen!
Woaaaah, why would you buy an HTC device if you shut down the main reason of it? TF3D makes WM so much easier and it's the biggest reason why I bought a HTC TD2. But to answer the poll, I sometimes turn of TF3D and use the normal home screen with some plugins like SPB News, SPB Weather and SPB Wireless Monitoring.
I started off with manila in Wm6.1
But when i went to WM6.5, Titanium looked a hell lot better than the normal today screen.. and it took up a lot less resources. (I found manila to run pretty slow.. random split second halts and judders here and there)
Manila
had a BA earlier.. had winmo 6.5 with titanium on it. Now i'v switched to Blackstone..
still have the default ROM wid winmo 6.1 n manila 1.3xx version i m liking it over titanium on BA
thinking of flashing soon so that i can compare titanium and manila on my blackstone
I think manila/htc sense is not just the best UI on wm devices, but also the best UI on all phones. I think it's far better than the s-class UI on LG devices and much, much better than the touchwiz interface on samsung devices.
i do agree that it makes everything so much easier, but what kills me is the warp, like Nickch said, the split second, while scrolling from side to side, and then without u wanting it you've stopped at the music tab, and you cant go on cause the phone takes a mini time to load ur music files,.. i hope in the HD2 is much smoother!
SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 FTW
i usually install a manilla ROM but adding TFDETACHER to switch it to the classic today screen !
SPB 3 - best UI I've ever seen
Manila to me is better: I tried PointUI, SPB 3, Titanium (gastly!), standard home, widgets home and so on...
The only problem is the limited link personalization.
D'rath
I use Manilla - while it isn't as customisable as other shells, it is the most practical. You can see multiple appointments without hassle and has a favourite programs launcher =]. Another big plus is the Manilla Calendar app in v2.6 - the fact that Manilla even covers the ugly Windows Calendar app when you input a new appointment is awesome.
Tried SPB Mobile 3/3.5, but the widgets are just too ugly and i couldn't find widgets that I liked with the user-made ones
PointUI looks interesting, but i feel that it wouldn't provide /that/ much of an advantage.
Titanium is good looking and smooth, but impractical for appointments and the user-made plugins (e.g.: fav contacts, etc) are not refined enough to look that nice.
I swap quite regularly between Titanium and PointUI. I love both of them equally. I did really love TouchFLO for a long time, but found what other people have said - it's occassionaly laggy and/or slow, and sometimes doesn't even notify me of things like new texts or emails.
Looking forward to trying the latest Manila on my new HD2 next week. I reckon the 1GHz CPU should make a difference, maybe
SPB Mobile Shell 3.5
I was using Manila for couple of days and then I found SPB Mobile Shell 3.0. After this switching back to Manila (every time when I installed a new ROM), was a disappointment. Still completely faithful to SPB Mobile Shell, now in updated version 3.5
I tried them all for a while (SPB,Titanium, PointUI), forcing myself to like them, but in the end I ALWAYS go back to manila. It presents all the info nicely on the home screen, and allows a nice interface to see your sms and emails with just a tap on the slider. I love the way sms and emails appear in manila, instead of SBP using the standard windows mobile messaging thingie.
Now tf3d 2.5 or 2.6 watever it is rocks my pants off and to me is the best interface for the hd.
I love Manila 2.5, but it could be visually better with the Manila 2.1 "People" and "Email" Widgets...The cube-like slider columns and row isn't much of an eye candy! IDK..just my opinion...
I use Manila 2.5 and I have to say I'm impressed with it. I love HTC's additions to hide the base WM environment. I have tried Point UI, SPB MS 2/3/3.5 and a couple of others and the only other time I would use something that wasn't TF3D would be if I wanted simplicity and in that I would use titanium.
Manila for me wins hands down currently.
I don't like Manilla 2.5, it's just too slow. I like Manilla 2.1, which is a lot faster, but I'm sad to see that all the roms that come with manilla are full of bloatware

TouchFlo 2d Problems...

Well, after much effort, I was able to get Manila (TouchFlo) 2D installed and somewhat operable on my Samsung SCH-i760. I like it much better than the normal Today Screen for WM 6.1. The problems I have now are... well, I'll just list them below in order of importance (to me).
1. I cannot add any contacts in the "People" tab. When I slide over to the tab, there are the little icons with + signs on them like you're supposed to touch to create a new contact. The problem is when I touch one of those icons, all it does is highlight for like half a second.
2. I cannot add programs to the "Programs" tab. It's the exact same problem that I have with the "People" tab. I touch one of the icons with a plus sign on it, and it just highlights for a second.
3. I cannot change the skin no matter what I do! I have tried installing the .cab skins, and tried using M2DC with .m2dct skin files and it just won't work.
In case you're wondering, I am using mbarvian's patched Manila 2D v2.0 build 19171723 cab. And like I mentioned above, I am using a Samsung SCH-i760 with WM 6.1 Professional running.
Anyone with any insight or advice please let me know! I really appreciate it!
Thanks and God Bless!
