Fresh theme or UI for wm 6 smartphone? - Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other

Noob here,
Anyone here can help me get a nice and fresh lookin theme for my wm6 smartphone (Q8)? Its lookin old.
Been searching the interwebs, but so far, most of the nicer lookin themes (like the sense UI, android, replica themes) are for touchscreen winmos.
Tried to install mobile shell, but I keep gettin "installation unsuccessful" messange.

Q8 is quite old, google if u can find a newer 6.1/6.5 ROM for it, or get a new phone, the android stuff is for android, and touch/PPC UI stuff wont install on a smartphone. Now that is said, there is 3 things u can try.
1) the Samsung I600 Cardwheel from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410370
2) SGregory HTC Home Plugin from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351441 (simplest to install and works well).
3) Some1 managed to port the TouchFlo2D(Manila2D) from touch to smartphone, i installed this once on a Vox and it was ultra heavy so i removed it. It is a long install process and u have to follow it properly and its sligtly buggy, u can try it if u want. Everything u need is here http://allshadow.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3581
btw, u dont need to put 2 threads with same topic.

Sorry, the double post was my mistake. Thought the first one didn't make it.
Thank you so much for your input, really appreciate it. Got the gregory one, buta haven't tried the others.
I found an android lookin theme on some non english website. Nice lookin. It only needs facade and smartmonitor I think.
I'll post the link as soon as I can find it again.
Guess I really need to go with the 6.1, eh?
What's your tip for the best ROM to use?
thx

ROM's for Dutty...what do you mean by that...you mean applications?
i think he meant skins, colors, etc...right?
He is probably confused that the UI colors are exclusive to a certian rom, all you need is to install a cab that adds the theme to your device, no rom flashing needed. Once you have one rom you can add anything to it that can be installed via cab or from active sync via computer.
i do mean skins ...like the slither rom skin is SICK, so cool
i need some good skins
try the HTC Home Customizer. i like it. works for me...
where do i find some slick .cabs ...not just mircosoft BS
also how the hell can u get the customizer to wotk in 6.1... i love it in 6.0 but now it wont change my clock, nor icons

I'd like to know that too. I flashed Dutty's WM6.1 into my Kaiser and installed HTC Home Customizer, but it won't change anything.

Thanks, it's kinda working now. Maybe I'll have to reset, but I'm expecting an important call, so I'll hold off for a while.

Ok you got to it before I could edit it. Internet went out for a few.

I'm tired of Manila... What do you suggest me??

As the title says...
I have used Manila 2D for quite a lot time.... and now I'm bored about it...
What do you suggest me?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Pointui home2
Same here.
I have installed a naked rom, and have added it. See www.pointui.com

That's an easy one: try out ThrottleLauncher. It's powerful, highly customizable, and has great developer support. If you get bored of how it looks, it's easy to install new themes. I highly recommend trying it out.
HTC Home large VGA
It´s simple but not heavy
Try this, my new Kaiser rom
( well Josh's really)
Thanks to all...
I'll give a try to all suggested apps....
Anyone can suggest me any themes for both PointUI and TrottleLauncher?

Obviously you cannot use a Kaiser theme for your Touch, just go to Dev and Hacking and search for PointUI themes and Throttle launcher themes, there are a ton of them.

PointUI only has one theme, as far as I know... TL has a few really good themes: I suggest either the WM 7 Ultimate or Blackberry Storm themes. (You might even want to try the theme I've made, 88Cuts. )
try HomeScreen Plus UI, XML, Themes, etc.
There are all sorts out there from SPB to WisBar and even rlToday, I remember when I had my Touch I was bouncing from SPB Mobile Shell Lite to rlToday and finally stuck with that making my own homescreen layout. As someone mentions earlier though TrottleLauncher is pretty good as well.
dude, your'e light years behind..

No kidding.. Check the website again. They have over 10 themes, and better than that- dozens of applets. You can customize it better than TL, do not require Flash player7 and animation is incredible. I have both TL and Home2 and quite frankly, TL is not my favorite. however- it is in the eye of the beholder, so it is only mu humble opinion, of course... and I bet in few hours there will be people here saying just the opposite, and they have every right to do so..

I sense that you might have a favorite... My bad, I haven't looked at their site since the first release of 2.0, they have a bunch of themes up.
I'd still maintain that TL offers more complete customization, but I respect your opinion. Although, just on the technical side, I should say that TL does not require Flash 7.

Free PROBEX theme for the next tester.

I have not had anyone attempt to load one of my TP2 themes on a Diamond2 yet, It should work as they both run the TF3D 2.1 I would prefer it be someone on a stock rom, so if someone is brave and wants to attempt here is a gift certificate from my site for the theme for free.
Go to PROBEX.CA register and select the theme you want, proceed to checkout and enter this Redemption Code cc2f8ad86b it will cover the cost of the theme. It will only be active for one download so like the lottery is it your lucky day or not? Please the requirement is that you post back in this thread and let me know if its working right for you and your provider information as well. Thanks for testing.. and don't worry it won't wreak anything if it does not work just uninstall the .cab. The only thing I question weather or not will work right is the dialer that is included.
FOLLOW THE INSTALL INSTRUCTION INSIDE THE DOWNLOAD
AT frickn last.... I have done it PROBEXDESIGN is live and ready for action.
http://probex.ca the new intro will lead to either my online race site or the new theme store. Run .. buy yourself a Touch Pro 2 and join the crew.

These themes work with every providers release of the TP2/Rhodium in one easy .cab install GSM or CDMA It fixs any clock to a flip clock it removes the nasty orange icons from Sprint. it fixs the background for all tabs without any kind of hack has different walls for Port and Landscape. Dialer is fully skinned on all 3. Keyboards anything that could be skinned is skinned. The Home screens are fully functional on all providers nothing is not working everything looks nice and it is all one .cab per theme... no more 40 cabs to get a almost skinned interface. More themes will be available soon I have 2 more in progress. Windows 6.5 skins and TF 2.5-2.6 skins coming soon as well. Enjoy it has been a long haul to get here but the days is at last upon us.

I would love to try...but im running 2.5 LEO...
Any plans for themes with LEO?
cheers!
Yes I already have the Leo rom on my HD and have begun sorting all the files. the 1000's of files ...lol OMG the Leo really has alot. I have also been working on the Sense UI and have 2 more themes on the way for the Pro2 and some 6.5 themes on the go as well... just need a twin brother so I can get it all done lol. I hope to have themes for both new versions by the time they are offically released in North America.
O and I still need a tester for a stock Topaz people.... lol
Very nice.....Probex, ill be glad to help in any way once i get my TP2 two weeks from now....
but the question remains ... will probex have enough patience to wait this long? (reminds me of southpark when cartman couldn't wait for nintendo wii and froze himself)
well i know maybe i sound stupid but can i ruin my phone with that? I m new to this stuff ..
i m running the stock 6.1 from O2 germany and would try it if i would know risks and such
and of corse if i find one that suits me 4 sure
--edit--
just checked them out and hmm would prefer a red and black theme but well the 7 seems nice
you can count me in if you want but make sure to send me some questions so i can answer them in the feedback ...
I cant ruin your phone at the worse you will just have to uninstall the cab. TF3D2.1 is the same stock on both devices. So basicly all I really want to know is in the TP2 cab I included a dialer skin for the TP2 if the theme fails on your devices then I will remove the dailer to release the themes for the Topaz or reskin the dialer that is for your phones to match.
Ladies first theme
I really like this theme, i tried to find it on probex site but couldn't. how can i get it?

[Skin WAD2] Windows Illumination Ultimate

Hello everybody !
I present my very latest theme : WIndows Illumination Ultimate !
More Screens and movies on my website !
​
WOW... This is sooooooo cool... But I want to ask if this skin would override our HTC sense? Or is it that the skin only activates if we open the program but if we quit it will still be the HTC sense?
excellent! with black and red? ...
Fantastic work!
Do you plan to convert the skin to english anytime?
That would be incredible !
Thanks for your comment
@ LittleMerc, yes of course ! when you using my skin, disable HTC sence and after if you don't want using my skin, unistal Wisbar advance desktop 2 and enable HTC sence
@ matriarchsira, yes, but it's so easy to translate in english : apply on the screen a long push and clic on "author mode" now, apply a long push on the word and them "propriété", here you can change the word, use Google translate to help you, it's no dificult
thanks
Simply, WOOOOOW!
Absolutely fantastic.
Dont know if I dare change that much. I hate to mess to much up on my phone.
Will it do that?
Anyway it looks fantastic!
Thanks you
I don't undestand "I hate to mess to much up on my phone." sorry
I cannot install the skin, im doing everything as you said in readme file, but when im going to install the skin, it cannot install it It gives error.
Tried on 3 different wm builds
I tried it last night and it works great on my phone!
It's just like having a mini pc on my palm.
Thanks Eagledig!

I like the skin, but dosent support landscape right?
hmm
i really like what i'm seeing there. the idea is great.
but one thing. is it finger-friendly enough to use it with the hd2. some buttons are looking quite small... any experience?
Quite brilliant i can say!I intalled with no problem! Very very nice work mate!
But only one thing...even thought a 4.3inch capasitive screen without a stylus is making the hole theme unusable very little buttons that
even after 10 tapings you cannot press the button!Scroll bars doesn't work in the windows.
Allthought very good job looks great!
Thansk all !
Me i use it with my finger without problem it's a habit.
No landscape mode, only portrait, sorry.
the Scroll bars are a fake, justfor the style
Does it work with MaxManilla?
how do i change the language of it once applied?
i need to change it to english from the french titling...
Nice, but
I think your add on will have more of a following with the traditional ppc community if it had a more pc feel, more conservative touch which made ppc's ppc's and not apples.
You are onto something.....
BAD RAR??
hi i have downloaded the theme.. but for some reason i cant extract it...tried multiple times with different tools, and even redownloaded the theme a couple of times.... ... got any ideas how to solve?
HEllo,
No the RAR files is good, but i even had this problem with a Rom file, Try extracting on other PC password: eagledig

Manila? No, thanks. I need speed.

Manila, Manila 2.1, Manila 2.5, Sense.
Cool, Eye catchers, Smooth, etc. etc. etc.
These add-ons make the Topaz look and feel better. Just scroll left, scroll right, touch the thing and it rollz.
Is this really needed?
I don't think so. I have tried a lot of roms with these interfaces. Indeed the eyes are satisfied. But the performance is not.
I want when press the green send button the dialer to appear immediately, not after the phone first wake up. I want when executing something the thing to be run, rather than waiting sometimes ridiculous seconds until the appearance.
I was bored and bored with waiting. Really why something to be loaded into my system if that is not what works for me?? I work with dialer, contacts, calendar, run various applications. Why to waste system resources on interfaces???
My boredom lead to removing the sense through the today settings and
adding some today plugins, like launcher. And of course – topaz keyboard control for keys mapping.
The result is much much faster phone, which works for me, not for the interface.
Edit: WM 6.1. is fast, but a lot of features from 2009 are missing, that is why I prefer WM6.5.
if you want speed install wm 6.1 with no interface.
orlean, agree completely

Basically I lack WIFI router integrated (I know I can install it separately);
And I had some bad expirence with some settings which I can not recall now.
But the number of question marks in your post made me look for another 6.1. realase. I am now downloading tess 6.1. from august.
What do you use?
use tess and you will be fine).
and if 6.1 is ugly to you try home ui or new infinity ui. they are speedy too.

chill man he posted about the fact that mannila sucks and he coudnt be more correct.
I'm with you! Stopped using Manila a few days ago and my mobile experience has never been better. Using no today plug-ins now and my phone is faster, lighter and more stable than ever before. Memory usage is now 33% on a fresh boot and my home screen is uncluttered showing only my wallpaper, which looks great.
The most important thing for me was organising my start menu so that all my apps are readily accessable. That done, it's easy for me to access everything i need quickly, in fact faster than it was using Manila. I find Winmo 6.5 has everything i need with exception of a few things, and for those there are great free alternatives without having to resort to Manila bloat. For instance i use Nitrogen as a music player which is ten times better than Windows mobile media player OR Manila player.
Of course your mileage will vary but in my opinion the OP is right. Get yourself a good 6.5 ROM, install apps for the things you need/use a lot and use the start menu to access them.
Hi DirkGently1,
Hi guys;
I tried WM6.5. then reverted to 6.1.
I have running in the background: FingerKeyboard, AutoCallRecord, PlayPause, Topazkbgkontrol.
Memory after restart... 29%
I use Topaz Essential 6.1. v.2f
And the best part is that I don't want to flash new rom anymore :

So true. Once you find a good ROM there's no reason to change. Stability and speed are what makes a good user experience and Manila, or any other add-on UI, runs contrary to that by adding complexity, instability and bloat.
i hate to say this twice but realy , try infinity. runs realy great on topaz. it maybe not complete replacment yet but its usable

My pleasure!
This is the 1st truly useable clean rom that has been released for the Topaz and it is really spot on. Even the default Windows Mobile keyboard is useable, in fact much improved from previous iterations.
Kudos to the chef.
Ï hate Manila and I hate 6.5 -and I'll probably also hate 7
