I have been using Slide2Unlock on my WM6 Hermes now for a while and have really gotten to like it, so much that I want the iPhone look and feel on my PPC.
I have seen a few around but then seem parts of the full package. Is there one particular one that seems the best all rounder?
I came across this one but haven't tried it yet:-
http://www.ozankilic.com/?p=31
I would like a version that has the iPhone dialler but needs to have the smart dialler functionality so that names come up when I type numbers etc..
I would also like to continue to use Slide2Unlock
Also, I would like the icons on the today screen etc...
Can you please point me in the direction of a good version.
Many Thanks
Mark
Can anyone offer any input into this topic? or pointers to different iPhone themes
Thanks

That looks good but doesn't appear to have the animations etc..
How do you think it compares to http://www.ozankilic.com/?p=31?
have also come across this one but also don't know how it compares to all the others:-

These seems to be so many, is there one particular good allrounder?

Wisbar Desktop
Check out
www.lakeridgesoftware.com
Its a program called wisbar advance and desktop. They are great programs and will let you design your UI any way you like. If you go to the forum and under skins, search for iphone. You will find people who have done plenty of iphone skins and have uploaded them so others can use them.
Right now there is no way for our phones to handle the transitions that they show the iphone do. It take my phone (Hermes) 5 seconds to do a transition that is fade to black. So until Windows Mobile upgrades the way the run graphics we are out of luck.
For transitions, try iTask. There are actually a bunch out there right now;
Grumps' iPhone App (stable, fast, has animation of icons disappearing one after another when opening app, but no longer being developed)
iFonz (active developer, many features, but kinda slow startup, since it is written fully in .NET)
iTask (written completely in flash, if you can deal with that, it has iPhone-style animations and is fast, not much development lately)
In the end, it's all personal preference. From what I remember, Grumps' iPhone App is the lightest and fastest, but least featured (a straightforward launcher). iFonz aims the most to emulate the iPhone exactly, but iTask is pretty similar, and has built-in apps like Satellite.
This thread seems to be advertising in every post...
Ads on xda?
Good lordy, ban that person!
Anyway, I'm a sucker who goes through iPhone envy every now and then. I've actually tried most of the ones mentioned above, spending WAY too much money for the one using wisbar. To be honest, my favorite was iFonz, which, oddly enough, doesn't cost a dime.

I agree. I started using it a few days ago and it's great so far. I'm like most people who likes a 1 stop shop.....
*Edit*
I can't believe this is my first post!?!?!
ifonz is the best and its free. Try is first before you buy anything else. i promise you will like it. also the new update is available.

I tried a lot of iphone lookalike tools, but ifonz is far away from beeing the best!
Maybe its the best for you...
Best iClone
So far, Torx's theme has been the best for me. It allowed me the iPhone look, but WAD/WA3 allowed me to customize it even more to suit my preferences.
That's just my 2 cents, which may not even be worth that.
Hi everyone xx
I've been lurking on the forum for a couple of weeks now and slowly getting the hang of things however I have a few questions.
I have an XDA Zest and I'm just confused of all the abbreviations and jargon on here that I'm not sure what apps and mods I can use.
I've figured out I can only go for things that are VGA and compatible with WM, but other than that I just feel stupid
I am quite techie minded and do learn quickly and have managed to do little things on my phone but 3 questions off the top of my head.
Can someone recommend a free MP3/media player for my phone, WMP is pants and has no way to set the bass or anything. Putting the word music into the search here brings up loads! I tried one called flip or something like that that was Iphone-ish but that was on a trial and I wasn't that keen on it.
I love changing themes on my phone but on this handset it just seems like such a minefield. I saw a lovely HTC high gloss one (I think) and I was just baffled by it all. Is there a dummies guide somewhere?
Also, I am constantly hitting the send or menu button when writing a text, is there an easy way to move these buttons?
Many thanks xx
Media player, there's two spring to mind, S2P and TCPMP. Search and ye shall find.
Many thanks. I had a look at TCPMP earlier but the site I was on said it was discontinued and now being charged for, I think I might have found the correct one.
Afterthought/ Maybe not, it keeps saying I have to send the crash.txt to the developers. After a search on here it seems it was a common thing, I'll carry on looking.
EDIT: I've got it working, I found a different CAB file someone posted and that one works!
at least you used the search ur in minority there
lol
Unfortunately the Zest is not an HTC phone, so you will not find any support for it here. It is Windows Mobile so you can use generic WM apps. The interface I believe is Spb Mobile Shell, so you can search for tweaks for that.

Yes I did realise there wouldn't be much support but I have found so much information on here as it is and little bits and bats. I found a fab SIP on here last night which I love. I'm just not sure as to what I can and can't use, is it just basically check its VGA and WM compatible and some trial and error?

Hiya folks,
there's a new release of touchflow 3d (version 2.6.)
is there anyway you can integrate it with your future roms ?
thanks

First of all it has to be ported to QVGA. Utopykzebulon (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=489749) has started the work, but then he suddenly stopped it and doesn't wanna publish his work. It is a big problem, because the newer tf3d has some very cool features, and also lower memory consumption so it would be perfect on the Kaiser.
I also want to see it on our phone.

There actually isn't a new release. There is an unofficial leaked beta that some are trying to cook into Blackstone roms. Since TF3D has never really been buglessly ported to kaiser or qvga phones, I doubt this version will be any easier to port.
Aside from yhe fact that the Kaiser is getting kind of long in the tooth and I think that the chefs would rather focus their time and efforts to moving up to new phones that will support this release ( when it is released ) rather than work on porting it to an older phone.
Kaiser hardware does not support 3D rendering as much as the newer devices do. So this is out of question.
well, i downloaded that TF3D rom and i must say that it doesnt work smooth at all:/ the 3d animation works great, but running something or writing an SMS is nearly impossible, and i think our chefs can make it run smoother

there's only so much a 400 mhz processor can do
that's about as good as it can get. besides, most of the chefs are moving on to newer devices

This whole idea has been gone over a thousand and one times, and some very talented chefs already took TF3D as far as it could go on our devices. And keep in mind, even HTC themselves couldn't give us TF3D for the 400mhz ARM processor chip sets. They gave us M2D instead, something actually made and meant for our hardware.
Please take UI discussion to one of the other Kaiser Forums, since it is only a small part of what is ROM development. That is, unless you release a ported TF3D build that works like butter on the Kaiser, then you can post it anywhere on this site you want, and we would all love it!
PS
OP: That is nowhere near a tiny request. Chef's already spend a lot of time and effort and work just cooking a ROM, let alone doing something HTC couldn't even do. This forum is for development, not for asking someone else to fulfill your every whim.

I think he was asking if someone could develop a rom with TF3D 2.6 .
That is not a rom development question ....

Hey you and me are still here! LOL
Seriously though! I wish I can afford to buy a better device so that I can also experience TF3D...tired of 2D world LOL
why not pm?
instead of starting a new thread you should have asked one of our forums talented chefs.
hey everybody,
i just went from the iphone which i had for 3 years to the fuze and i would like to get the 6.5 version. i am new to the process of installing everything so if anyone has and tutorials, tips, or the best software to use please let me know. i checked out youtube and i didnt see any really clear info. any recommendations or how to info would be really great.
thanks!
Welcome, Glad to see you finally chose the right device....lol

Good Luck.
Hi and welcome to our playground.
Here are some nice rom's that i think are great:
EnergyROM 'Photon' is a very popular rom lot's of updates releases fast.
CM-XOR MM PRO Manila 2.5 VGA is the one i am using right now it has a very good batterylife (3 day's on normal use, with other roms i get at the most 1.5 day's).
It also has a ported version of Manila 2.5 which i really love.
DynastyPro Series is a rom that looks and feels more like the iphone which you might want to try to compare to your old phone.
For new apps for your phone you should check the Development and Hacking forum.
Lots of great stuff to play with.
If you want some other theme for your manila interface you can find lots of cool stuff If you want some other theme for your manila interface you can find lots of cool stuff in Customizing TF3D - The Collection!
Hope you find these links usefull.
See you around.
Make some time to check the Raphael section of the Wiki as well ... tons of good information there too.

Manila is the graphic interface that replaces the default wm homescreen.
There are currently 3 different versions around (correct me if i'm wrong)
The original build 1, the enhanced build 1.5 and the even more enhanced Manila 2.5 edition.
Those are the ones i know off.(there is also a 2D version but that is for phones not able to run 3D.)
We are a bunch of s***-ups (no harm intended)
If anyone else had posted in here asking that question he'd be flamed, but since he's from iphone to WM (which all of us agree is sooooo much better) we start handing him out all the good threads

This Link is the begin for a good friendship with a mod or admin
ideally the one everyone 'wants' is the one ripped from the TG01 as although it's an older build it's licensed to make use of hardware acceleration with the snapdragon processor. I've got it but I did at least pay for Coreplayer in the first place.
Not a good idea to post stuff like that on here.
