This is what I have loaded on my Cingular 8525:
Spb MobileShell 2.0
Spb Pocket Plus 4.0.2 - UltimateMax Icon Set
Spb Phone Suite 1.3.0 Beta1
Spb Diary 2.5.7
Spb Time 2.2.2
Spb Weather 1.7.2 - Stardock Weather Skin
Spb Backup 1.6.3
Spb Insight 1.5.1
Spb Imager 1.6
DinarSoft MemMaid 2.2
Microsoft Voice Command 1.6
CoreCodec CorePlayer 1.2.1 - Just released
SOTI Pocket Controller Pro 6.01
As you can see, I support Spb with all my lunch money.....
I've used Pointui 1.02b but it didn't have what I wanted plus a few bugs that didn't like me....
I've used both extensively and it right now I have to say SPB. But I can see Pointui being better if they ever allow full customization and have an option to be a plugin or take over the today screen
I have to say I had never heard of pointui until this thread and having looked at the screenshots I have to say YUK !
SPB Mobile Shell all the way.
JMHO.
i love pointui....once they get alot of these bugs ironed out, i think it will be great...
spb mobile shell is great....but kinda pricey, deleted after trial
i think when pointui gets closer to a finished product, and has more functionality, it WILL be better....but as of right now, ignoring the price, spb mobile shell is better...

PointUI was released at 00:00 on new years day, a full ui replacement, its pretty amazing, but I only ever used it on a vga device, so all the graphics were screwed, and I also only used the first version... still though, it is pretty amazing...
how you hadnt heard of it I dont know

So what you're saying is that you're not a big fan of Spb's software?

here's a link to the Pointui site
And thank you all for responding, but i must say i do find Pointui slightly more of a simpler approach.
Point UI is a lot more touch friendly than SPB imo,
but then again thats just my taste.
Yeah it is currently lacking customization but besides that i dont have any other things that bug me.
I thought that PointUI was very slick (and liked it alot), but didn't think it was ready for primetime.
For me, PointUI is progressive and will just keep getting better developed.
first used pointUI and liked it but still didnt do all the things i wanted....now i'm sticking with mobileshell its been good to me
Tried Both...Definitely Prefer SPB Mobile Shell
Tried Point UI 1.02b and it was pretty good. But Navigation is so much easier with SPB Mobile Shell. That's not to say PointUI navigation is bad, just that Mobile Shell is much easier - IMHO.
Unfortunately, like PointUI Mobile Shell still has some bugs.
The main advantages of PointUI over SPB are:
- Free for now
- Can be set as default UI on boot (with SPB you have to start it up yourself - not able to do it with Startup link).
The main advantage of SPB Mobile Shell over PointUI is:
EASY (and somewhat configurable) navigation
I also prefer the "look" of SPB's today screen replacement (called Now) over PointUI's, but that's a matter of taste.
Same here -- I tried PointUI also. While it was nice, I just found there to be too many screen taps to get where I wanted to go. I'm sure it will get better as the development progresses, but I'm sticking with Mobile Shell for now too.
Hi I want to know what is the different between manila 2D and spb shell !!
i have spb shell installed on my touch 3G! I want to know if I install the manilaa 2D it turn the touch flo2D to touch flo 3D and which is the better? manila or spb
Manila2D
Hi
I have tried all three shell softwares on my HTC Tytn II, which is QVGA. I have settled with Manila2D. I did prefer Manila3D in terms of functionality but I had a few problems with it and I have not had any problems with M2D. I did not like the functionality of SPB Mobile Shell but that is of course just my opinion. Manila2D works much better when it is cooked into a ROM. I think that this is also true of Manila3D.
Cheers

Is it just me who finds things like SPB mobile shell and the like more hassle than they are worth?
Manilla 2d is a different program than manilla 3d, so know it won't turn the program into manilla 3d.
....and most of the time the program is better cooked into a rom, it really just depends on the rom though. Garmin has a rom for the kaiser that runs m3d better than roms that have it cooked in.
I just want to know could I install manila 3D in HTC 3G or Not ?
and If I install It WHETHER My touch flo 2D turn to Flo 3D like diamond ?
Hi
Hi
You may be able to install M3D on your device, I can't advise more on that so it may be a case of trial and error unless somebody else can advise otherwise. If you were able to install M3D on your device you would effectively have both M2D and M3D installed, so you may have some problems with internal storage space. You can't turn M2D into M3D. It may be better to seek out a ROM without M2D or with M3D cooked into it.
Cheers

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..

FEWidgets (regular or lite)

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.
Hello dear Raph-users
Poll for today : what is the best UI.
I need a solid UI which can provide me links to every thing in my raph.
Manilla 2.5 suits me best, but its not completly ported to VGA and stupid HTC mesaging system
Discuss
At the moment Manila 2.1, I think, is the best. It works perfectly, its fluid, and its fast. You won't find anything that doesn't work in Manila 2.1. I think if Manila 2.5 gets fully ported to VGA, it will beat out 2.1 no contest. But for now 2.1.
SPB Mobile shell or Ultimatelaunch. Manila is uncustomizable eye candy and a memory killer
Why spb is so good? My friend got HD with spb with android mod and its not so fast as manilla 2.5 either
I've used RLToday, UL, Titanium and now Manila 2.1. I think Manila is better, but I agree that it should be easier to customize.
Manilla 2.5
Since the nearly full port og sense (manila 2.5) to VGA that has to be best and fastest UI in my mind that is
What do you want to see in a ROM?
Feel free to post your request

New dialer from HTC has that function...
hmmm, perfect ROM...
I want WinMo6.5 with old gui,
much free RAM (20MB+),
with Chome editor, secondtoday, homescreen++, network wizard, HTC home plugin, MS office, HTC Audio Manager, HTC Album....,
without manilla
wm 6.5.X + manila 2d
wm 6.5.X + manila 2d
I want a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM with the following:
1. MS Office, Internet Explorer, calculator, etc. (the stuff you kind of assume comes with Windows Mobile)
2. Touch scrolling (I don't know if that's normally part of 6.1 or not...)
3. Some kind of connection setup wizard with T-Mobile for the US as an option
4. The HTC task manager would also be nice, but optional
5. My primary language is English, so I would prefer an English ROM
So I pretty much just want a pretty clean WM6.1 ROM... I feel like something like this should exist, but I haven't really been satisfied by any ROM I have tried so far. Does anyone know of one like this that already exists?
EDIT (this is for a future post because I don't want to take this off topic more): Thanks LivArt; I hadn't tried his yet. The included programs he listed always looked further from clean than I was hoping for. I finally flashed it and it's pretty good.
exhno: cracings last 6.1
I want a WM6.5 New GUI. like Cracing's ROM without Manila 2D.

New GUI is good. Like manilla 2.5
What I want in a ROM
a) Stable. Most ROMs nowadays are stable, but I remember when they crashed a lot.
b) Enough free RAM to run programs, without having to reboot. I really like the latest CRACING rom, except that there are several programs that won't launch unless I've just rebooted.
c) Fast. For our poor Wizard, that usually means overclocking support. So build in TodayScreen++ or some other overclocker. And make it fast even without overclocking.
d) Finished. Don't give me dead links, like on the Internet panel of M2D. Don't leave out camera or MMS either. Naked is okay, but what is in the rom needs to be complete, and seem not like a work in progress.
e) Some things just work better when in a ROM, like M2D and Office. Put those in, whether I use them or not.
f) Anything that would run fine in Storage Card, or anything that is being actively developed so that new versions are coming out, keep those OUT of the rom.
Of the roms available on these forums, I like the following quite a bit.
This isn't ordered: I have a hard time picking a favorite. Don't believe my signature: I'm running RoryB's latest rom today.
S.V.I. / RoryB's Angel series: best 6.1 complete
CRACING's CR96 Touch HD series: best 6.5 complete
xda2_haseeb: some awesome 6.5 roms, looking forward to the New Year
md_bluelily's MSD series: best 6.5 naked
Any of the "alpha" roms by Ham3r: awesome 6.5 and best 6.1 naked rom.
In terms of home screens:
Chome is nice but a bit too minimal, and disables the old plugins.
M2D is beautiful and functional but takes too much ram, disables old plugins.
HTC Home is simple, good enough, works with plugins.
SPB 3.5 is best, fully functional, less ram than M2D, works with plugins.
But you can't put SPB in your rom (it's commercial).
So I'd vote for (in order) HTC Home, CHome, M2D.
Which OS?
I like it fingerfriendly so I would prefer WM6.5.x (with new style GUI).
Which TodayScreen?
M2D looks good but needs a lot of packages (and space) in the kitchen. It also eats up a way to much RAM. If you want other features with M2D you can not use additional today-plugins and last but not least our wizard has a slide-out keyboard and even the new M2D 2.0 has no real landscape-mode.
CHome does not need so much RAM, it has a landsacape-mode and there are already quit a lot of extra plugins. But you need special CHome-plugins and you cannot use normal today-plugins, it does not look good and the features and the controll are just to minimal.
HTC-Home is quit old but it works in landscape, needs only very little RAM and you can still run other today-plugins (like calendar+). It has no slide-effects but still is extremly fingerfriendly.
For me HTC Home (with calendar+) is still the best!
Which additional Software?
With HTC Home you don't need CHome Editor or M2DC. I don't even use HTC Home Config.
With WM6.5.x (without M2D) you also don't need extra touchflo stuff.
Important software:
- Total Commander
- WM5torage
- calendar+
- HTC Album (2.x works much better than 3.x!)
- a good text editor (more important than all the Office stuff)
- I would also add a Midlet-Manager like Esmertec Jbed
I also use TomTom and S2U2 but I would not include them in my ROM.
Last but not least I want a german ROM so I cooked my SKYNET ROM!
I pretty much agree, but I use Office for work stuff, believe it or not.
Oh, and I need a rom in English.
6.5 with new GUI
Try Bluelilly's or X2H's
