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

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.

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.
I went to HTC's website and found that a new device was on their home page. Here's the link: http://www.htc.com/www/product/snap/overview.html. Looks a lot like a Blackberry Curve. I just though you fellow XDA'ers would like to know. Youtube Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gP1QYzC5P5o. Apparently, if you hit the button in the very bottom right corner while you're in your inbox, it will filter out all email that isn't on a special list you make. So in theory, you could hit the button to filter out all email except that of your biggest two clients, or something like that. I'll bet that will be ported to other devices before it's even released. Here's another good picture, too big to show here though: http://mobilitysite.com/wp-content/...vewriterhandsonwiththehtcsnap-de84snap1-2.jpg. It's really thin!

(PS, I checked the forum, but if this is old news, feel free to let me know)

I´m agree with you
But for a smartphone is very good (of course if you havent tested a touch screen
Cheers,
I find it similar to the i780, no?
Release date???
As many of you must be aware of, one of the WM6.5 additions were the skinnable scrollbars.
Is it possible to apply the same concept in WM5 or WM6?
I did search everywhere in the forum and google for this but I haven't found anything but resizing instructions.
There are no scrolbars in WINMO 5 or 6 but some programs have a today plugin also you can have second today screen
?

Nobody knows or is it impossible?
Also would be really nice that scrollbars can be moved to left side!!
That for left handed users like me would be a dream!!
Try to manage your device with your left hand and you´ll understand
