As some of you know, I am currently working on a touch user interface (since more than 10 months), fully compatible with HTC Diamond, it even takes advantage of G-sensor and touch-sensitive control pad, and I plan to develop a 3D user interface in a future version.
I will prepare soon a private beta, and if there is no major issue I would like to release a first public version in about 2 weeks. But please don’t take too much into consideration this date, be aware that contrary to other ROM cookers who only take programs from other ROMs I have developed the whole user interface from scratch, so it’s a really huge work (more than 1000 hours at the moment) and it’s hard to fix a release date.
As for other devices, Diamond ROMs will be multilingual and available in two versions: Full (with TouchXperience User Interface) and Lite (maximal storage space).
I am looking for some motivated and experienced people to participate to this private beta. I need only about 20 people so I will choose first people who could really help me, better is if you have WM cooking or development knowledges. I don’t want to get thousands of messages asking “please please send me the ROM” like it was in the other threads, so please don’t ask me to participate if you don’t have solid arguments. If you are interested, let me a post here (explaining in what you are good, if I don’t know you) and I will contact you later by PM if you are selected.
More info about TouchXperience User Interface and video demos:
http://www.touchxperience.com/
TouchXperience is the Next Generation User Interface for Windows Mobile, finger friendly and highly customizable, it offers many interesting features: program launcher, contacts manager, home screen, appointments, messaging, task manager, profile and event manager, call log, control panel, communication manager,...
TouchMenu is probably the most powerful and customizable menu, replacing original Start Menu for an innovative touch interface. TouchMenu supports finger scrolling and gestures, for example you can switch from a menu to another by sliding your finger left/right, or display context menu by a long press on the screen. You can also scroll menus using G-sensor. Each menu has four different views (large list, small list, large grid, small grid). As the rest of the future user interface, TouchMenu has a nice Vista/WM7 look.
TouchMenu has various built-in menus :
- All Programs (Start Menu replacement)
- Active Programs (Task Manager)
- Recent programs
- Favorite programs
- Settings (Control Panel)
- Documents
- Favorite websites
- Contacts
- Messaging
- Appointments
- Tasks
- Calls (Call Log)
- Communications (Comm. Manager)
- RSS feeds
- Power Actions
- End Actions
- One Touch Settings
But you can do much more by creating your own custom menus where you can add contacts, program shortcuts, website links, system actions (for example: reset device, rotate screen, sound profile, clock, brightness backlight, WMP status,...) or links to other menus. You can also replace icon for each program/folder/contacts/menu with a custom image.
TouchHome is a fully customizable screen where you can add various widgets and graphical elements (clocks, indicators, today items, texts, images,...). By default, TouchHome displays when you turn your phone on. You can make your own graphics and layout using XML. TouchHome can be also used as screen unlocker (unlock screen by sliding finger, by double tapping, by shaking device, using navigation scroll wheel,...).
Use GPS or cell-based geo-positioning to determine current location and create profiles for each location.
Custom Events is a powerful application which execute predefined actions when custom events occur. The principle is simple, each custom event is defined by:
- A basic event (application changed, location changed, new message, new incoming call, battery charging, device cradled, headset connected, Wi-Fi network detected, internet connection detected, ,...)
- Eventually some conditions (date/time, current application, current location, specific words in message, caller identity,...)
- An action (launch application, display notification, enable flight mode, turn on Wi-Fi, change profile, send message, ,...)
There will be hundreds of events and actions, so possibilities are very large! Here are some examples:
- Enable flight mode during nights
- Connect to Wi-Fi while battery is charging
- Deactivate alarm when I turn my device face down
- Put phone in silent mode at workplace
- Remind me to buy bread when I’m near to the bakery
Supports finger gestures on touch-sensitive control pad (experimental, for HTC Touch Diamond/Touch Pro only) to execute different system actions, in this way you can have up to 8 “virtual buttons” on your device.
Supports display auto-rotation navigation using G-sensor (experimental, for HTC Touch Diamond/Touch Pro only).
TouchXperience User Interface is designed for a future usage of hardware accelerated 3D graphics for an outstanding experience!

very nice shaps! I hope this post will be more serious and wont end like ur thread in hermes forum..
Realease it when it's done! no preasure!
Schaps!!! Count me in mate... great to see you here.
WOW! i can't wait. Looking forward to your work.
Cool!!!
Looks great!!!!
Tell me if you need a beta tester for this project...
i would be glad to help
Sounds really really nice.
If I can be of any help I'll be glad to, comes from Hermes and Kaiser and now has Diamond.
Tried some of your roms before and liked some, but not all, but this seems really exciting.

Good luck schaps.
Sounds great. I'm happy to check this for ya.
I'd like to volunteer, I have experience with graphics.
Count Me In... Deeep Within !!!!!!!!!!!
THANKS!!!!!!! (sorry 4 the caps) but this is coooollll!!!!!
Very Very Good Schap's
I can Help
Hello mate,
I have cooked (mostly my own) ROMs for Elf, Niki and Cruise so I have considerable background on the components of the WM OS and the overall structure of the devices (not so much the Diamond to be honest as I'm still trying to get to understand its internals).
If you like, I would more than willing to help out with Beta testing whether it's to focus on a specific area or just overall testing. I also have experience in QA so I can pick out little things that need ironing out
Cheers from Dubai!
WOAH! Schaps, this sounds awesome. I'd be happy to beta test your TouchXperience UI. Coming from an iPhone background, I'd love to see more thumb/finger friendliness in our Diamonds.
EDIT: Checked out the site and the screenshots and it looks fab so far !
Couple of questions, would there be a new finger/thumb friendly Calendar app? (I totally despise the stock WM one) Also, do you plan on integrating a more thumb friendly keyboard for input? The standard Diamond one is okay but I tend to be a fast typer and because the screen on the Diamond is relatively small, it is prone to keystroke errors and the Diamond keyboard does not have any type of correction method (i.e. as included with the PCM Keyboard - I use this but a lack of VGA skins is highly disappointing).
All in all I can't wait to test this - I thought the Diamond would have been more thumb/finger friendly but tend to find myself pulling out the dreaded stylus now and then.. Something I hoped I could have gotten away from. Cheers for the great effort Schaps!
WOW
Love to test the new interface.
Moral Support!!
Schap,
im not a pro in any of these programming. But at least i can sent some moral supports!!
It's a great development All the best to you
Very nice ...I will pleasure, when i test this program...
schaps said:
P.S.: I will soon work on a new Advanced Config. version fully compatible with Touch Diamond and Touch Pro. Advanced Configuration Tool V3 will come with a new finger-friendly interface.

@ Schaps, could you look into the possibility to add "default mediaplayer chooption" in order to link Bluetooth devices to other players not forcing to use WMP linked with TF3D .
There is a cab out there from RuffRuff (still need to test it) , but including this possible solution in AdvConfig V3 would be a big added value.
As for the Beta testing , it starts to look like recruting for La Legion etrangere (The Foreign Legion)
People want but how many can give ?
Anyway, success with the new UI + Rom combination. Looking forward.
I love the X1 and the whole panel feature.. For some reason I feel it's being heavily under utilized/developed.. Is it just me? Let me know if I am crazy and dreaming or if these are some workable ideas..
To be more specific I feel like it should do more than just change the layout of the desktop screen or the today screen. I feel it should also
1.)change the theme throughout along with the change of the today screen.
2.)show all panels readily available rather than the limit of 9 at a time
or introduce sub-panels a perhaps 3 in 1 method so if you choose that
group 3 are readily available without going back to panel manager.
3.)potentially have the ability to switch to a different style interface <TF3D>
4.)have the ability to optimize for a certain category of applications. For
example if there was a games panel with all the games available and it also
changed/configured tweaks during the panel use only. <possibilities endless>
Hmm, let's see...
1) There are 6.5 Themes that you can apply through system settings. Panel interface will not alter system theme, sorry.
2) There are youtube vids of new X2 Panel Manager, it's much better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LA8BQod9AiI
3) Already possible, I switch between PointUI Pointsense, SPB Mobile Shell 3, and TF3D.
4) See answer 2.

Thanks for the info... I am impressed with the fact that they are working on the panel manager and the progress that they've made.. Makes me feel better..
I'm just saying we're paying some benjamins for these high quality phones so I want the works.. Thanks again!
Hi, I always thought windows mobile lacks of a few basic things. One of them is a basic profiles selector.
There are several apps doing the job like phone alarm (my favourite) or phoneweaver but these programs are commercial and even if I paid for phonealarm I am abandoning it since I am getting more and more minimalistic.
I am combining mortscript, htcaction screen, Vit Bernatik backlight control, vjvolubilis, wifionoff, michasspecial refresh and eric's pfswitch to do the following:
- Define 8 profiles (home, internet, gps, car, outdoor, mute, vibrate, flight)
- Have a full screen pop-up menu that autohides after a few seconds if no profile is selected (htc action screen) (screenshot below)
- With the profiles govern: radio, bluetooth, wifi, grps, backlight intensity, dim and screenoff timeouts, rotation, incall and system volume and automatic activation of a program if wanted
- Update titanium wallpaper accordingly (screenshot below)
- Update the shorcut icon in the start menu accordingly to the profile selected (screenshot below)
Eric has been helping me a lot lately with his console app
The profile module still is missing a few functionalities
- A setup file so users can choose to change wallpaper or not.
- A UI to mantain the profiles names and parameters (I plan to do it in mortscript since I am not able to program on windows mobile so far)
- A cab install, including the icon that I currently create at 1st boot with mortscript
- A GPS switch (so it can be used to sync time automatically at 1st boot or on demand)
- A replacement for htcaction screen (so many brn files, brrrr...)
- Support newer devices than my Polaris (I have no accelerometer or light sensor)
I post it in case somebody is interested either to use it or to help me complete it, or improve it (performance, better tweaks, etc) and who knows, maybe someone wants to take it to the next level and help me replace htcaction screen or build a nice touch friendly UI to mantain profiles.
Here are the files (it is a module in my kitchen, simply add to your kitchen or copy all files to windows and rename and import the provxml file and create a shortcut to HTCActionScreen.exe):
A little ashamed of publishing this in the software development section. Maybe it would be more appropiate to publish in the themes section...
That's all folks !!
Easy Today Launcher is a today Plug-In lets you add shortcuts to their favorite aplication on the today screen.
All bug reports, fresh ideas and recommendations are welcome.

Hi Loffactory,
Tried out Easy Today Launcher v1.1.0.3 on my diamond. It works perfectly for me.
Thanks for the application
At first, thanx for the nice App....
...but i have some Trouble
My Device is a HTC Touch2 and after the installation of the ETL i can only access the Menu of the ETL when i open Settings ->Today....etc...
When I try to access the Menu directly from the Today Screen my Touch2 hangs up and freezes... The only way to bring it back is to remove the battery...
Any Idea what is wrong?
Thx a lot..... Greetings.....
In my touch viva work very good
~ I wanna change the icons exe T_T i don't like this icons.

dude, don't be ridiculous, this is not iphonelike launcher...nor manila bs.
mem footprint = almost zero(well, icons), if app is xipped into rom
ZERO batt impact, ZERO cpu usage.
this is typical oldschool PDA app. cannot be smaller.
perfect app for people that cares about memory/usability.

Works fine in HD2
I might decide to dump the HTC sense and go for this and some of the other brilliant today plugins for the apps I use.
The only thing I would miss is the ability to call contacts easily.
Could contacts be also included in your today launcher?
Thanks, great job.

[ROM][MIUI10] MI ROOM ROM for Xiaomi Mi 8 and Other Device stable and developer roms
The basic list of changes to builds MIUI MiRum from official firmware. Further changes can be monitored here in the corresponding section of the MIUI Change Lists.
Mi-Room builds are based on the official Chinese versions of MIUI, on which the main Xiaomi development team is working. The Chinese versions of MIUI are updated more often than global ones, they are more thoroughly worked out and are not overloaded with unnecessary localizations, due to which a lot of critical errors can occur.
The basis of Russian localization is a translation from the MIUI Russia team, sponsored by DriffeX and Zenk.
The firmware is assembled using the jBART program using Apktool + HEX hybrid technology, thanks to which the structure of system applications is not disturbed, and the stability of the system remains at the level of the official Chinese MIUI firmware.
In the MIUI Mi-Room firmware, there is only the most necessary software, including the basic GAPPS package for the correct operation of Google services, as well as the most necessary patches and additional functions that do not affect the stability of the system at all.
In addition, all Chinese services that are not relevant for Russia are disabled.
