Hey people,
I own an E-Ten X500 (WM6). I just can't stand the Windows Mobile UI and I want to make my own one, similar like the iPhone UI. I tried PointUI and loved the speed and how smooth the animations are, but the design isn't what I'm looking for, plus when pressing e.g. messages, you go back to the default Windows UI.
Is it possible to totally replace the Windows Mobile UI? I don't know much about programming, but I know a little ActionScript. Is it possible to create a 'total' UI for windows mobile in Flash? Any tips?
Easy..... Buy an iPhone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
an iphone would be cutting back on functionality alot. I too hope a UI replacement for windows mobile is made, although one based on flash wouldnt be very good i think as was evident from an sms n contacts UI app whose name i cant remember. I dont know alot about wm programming OR UI stuff but i do hope someone comes out with an alternative UI for WM just like we have magnificent UIs for xp etc like litestep.

Yea man I will eventually, but until then (when it's officially out in the Netherlands) I'd like to be able to create something that I actually like

HTC’s “Manilla” is basically a customized interface that’s on top of the standard Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional OS. BoyGeniusReport.com reports that “Manilla” is not technically TouchFLO 2.0, TouchFLO 2.0 just has a few updates to the scrolling part of it and the cube, nothing more than that.

looks quite good but there are much possibilities to let your phone looks like that
nothing new for me that is the genuine manila stuff. the htc home plugin though is from the 7510 rom. the comm mananger also, audio manager also, and u see opera 9.5 405 the white/gray dialer is the manila dialer. the other one is just a athena gray dialer.
What app do i need to show running apps in the taskbar like some of the pictures show?

Nice, but not really perfect UI.... at this time WM7 looks perfect ^^
its great
can i have a cab file for a new htc home plugin!!!
nice screens....
any way... still dealing with 6.1 and do not think will come for all HTC phones...
no those are there with my permission. boygenius is bud of mine.
I am not one to dig into the guts of my device and edit code. So a lot of the cool stuff that others are doing with their devices was not going to happen for me. I wanted finger navigation and quick access to call me contacts. I did a Google search for Windows Mobile Touch Navigation and there it was, 7th item listed.
I am running the free demo and it is totally solid, have not needed to reset device once. I will certainly purchase the product, it does everything I want it to and more. Here is the link to download. http://www.touch-commander.com/download-exe
I have had a few questions about the product and they have been great and getting back to me.
I just noticed that there are some new skins available as well, I am gonna grab those straight away, the Aero one looks sick!
Hope you all enjoy.
I will certainly purchase the product

If you live in the UK, it's currently being given away free with em... PDA Something*.. along with Resco Keyboard pro - all for the sum of £4.
* well come on there are not that many PDA magazines, go down to the newsagents and find it!
When I tried it on the samsung i780 last week, it worked like a piece of crap.
Is the Touch Commander for VGA Screen too ?
New skin for homeplug

I remember seeing tons of screenshots for this and figuring/hoping whenever I upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.1, it would be there. Well, it's not, or at least not in Verizon's installation. What is this application or plugin and where can I get it? It is something I can install just like I've done with the HTC home plugin or is it something that has to be in the rom? Thanks, and sorry if I'm asking a question that's been asked a billion times before. I have no idea what to call this .

The screen shots are both from a WM6.1 Standard device. Do you have a Standard (ie no touch screen) or a Professional (with a touch screen)?
Professional (with touchscreen). So you're saying that layout is only intended for non touchscreen models? That sucks. I think that's a much cleaner layout than the out-the-box layout professional offers. Any ideas or am I just out of luck? Thanks.

You could browse through the countless number of themes and launchers available.
Guess it's time to find a new HTC touch home launcher. Thanks.
If I were you I would invest in Wisbar Advance Desktop. You could easily achieve this with it.
Never heard of it before. Looks pretty sharp, thanks for the heads up!
There is also a throttle launcher skin which looks similar to this. I think it is the windows mobile 7 skin. If you do a search it should come up pretty quickly.
Hey everybody, I just found out that some genius is working to enable the WinCE 5 Explorer on Windows Mobile. Just to be clear though, I DID NOT DO THIS. I just figured I'd share the love with all of you fellow XDA-ers.
Here is the website where it's in development: http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/post/2009/03/08/CE-5-Explorer-is-getting-there-Really!.aspx, and this is an article on Pocketnow.com about it: http://pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=news&id=7015.
It doesn't appear to be super usable yet, but if any of you ever used HPC's, you might be interested. For those of you who haven't used HPC's, Windows CE's shell offers better window support with an actual taskbar, better window management, a real desktop, and a cascading start menu among other things.

Hi,
I was just wondering if any link for download and try this very interesting capability.
Googled and googled and googled ...
Thanks
I've worked with ce5 at a job
and the exp is bad and very finger unfriendly
even with a stylus it's a pain that one move around icons
and windows when one try to operate them
Thanks Dave, looks like a really interesting project, unforunately I havent found a download link either.

Well, I suppose on 240x320 this is definitely true, but I'd imaging from 480x640 upwards it might be a nice alternative.
Good application THX

k so i been on google all night and searching and youtubing but yet have i found my answer....im getting my new hd7 tomorrow and switching from a moto droid and on my droid i have launcher7 which is a homescreen replacement for android....and on that launcher i can have ties and my own background....i can set the transperancy levels to were i can see most of my background...now what i want to know is this possible on an actuall wp7 running device and if not is there a way of getting it?
hi
it is not possible just yet, but there are people working on this project and it is just a matter of time when this too will be available.
i really hope so this is really the only thing thats keeping me from keeping this phone...i thought u could change the background an all but guess not....was thinking of just gettting an hd2
It is still worth getting. I have an HD7 & a lot has been accomplished. We've managed to be able to change quite a few icons. See attached screenshot of my device.

well to b honest drkfngthdragnlrd i read your post on how you almost got a custom bg on your start screen and thats the main reason im really considering just keeping the device once it comes in tomorrow....i just hate plain main screens and simple u.i
I totally agree, but I will say, screenshot do nothing for the beauty of the UI in motion & the animations. While it may be simple looking, the 3d effects of the animations look nice. I will continue to try to find a way to add a background among other things. I believe that won't happen though till we can edit the dll's/exe's.
just to show what im talking about this is my current home screen on my motorola droid running a home replacement program called launcherpro 7
