SPB Mobile Shell 5.0 finally released! You like it? - General Topics

SPB Mobile Shell 5.0 is finally released! And its a lot different than its preview versions or v3.5!! Do you like it? Looks too good to me but can't judge without trying.
Unfortunately its not yet available to buy for consumers
http://www.techit.in/spb-mobile-shell-5-0-launched-for-manufactures-and-carriers/

Hm, looks nice. But certainly not enough info to really judge it. I hope they will release it soon so we can try it out ourselves.

iPhone for PPC - Which is the best?

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.

iFonz is free. Why would anyone pay $9.95 for that one?

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.

Spb Mobile Shell 2.0

I read a few things about this on another thread and google searches but have only come up with the same story. http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/about/pressreleases/2008/feb05.html?en
Has anyone found out anything new or is Spb going to make us wait for this somewhat highly anticipated update?

A german supporter on ppc-welt.de claims it as:
You don´t need PointUI, Tocuhflo or Ultimatlauncher any more....."
We´ll see
Watch this video....VERY PROMISING
Looks great. I cannot wait to try it out.
I wonder if you can make your own layouts with other plugins (like ultimate launch). Ultimate launch does much of what i want, but doesn't work well with Spb Diary as a tab.
awsome app
looks great, smooth animations and easy customizable.
Let's see how stable it is and how much ram it takes. If everything is fine, i can deinstall Ultimatelaunch, PocketCM and HTC Home
ReleaseDate : End of February. Can't wait
I hope that Mobile Shell will work together with Flexmail and PocketInformant.
After watching video on YouTube, my 8525 will be one happy camper once this is released...
Do I hold out on getting the XPERIA X1?
Hmm... looks nice... but that´s it...
not the step forward I thought...
SPB Mobile shell
Some guys of SPB have watch our forum....
They included the cube into Mobile shell...
and even a taskmanager with flipping pics
watch out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwpU2OEVQmo
Actually, some guys of xda have been posting over spb-club(their forums) asking to integrate such features. They even pointed out to the apps which the devs made here. Most of the devs are sharing their source code too with the public, so, it must have been quite easy for the SPB to integrate such code.
Anyway, the SPB mobile shell 2.0 is a great app
that's pretty sweet... you could have stuck this in the World Mobile Congress thread
SPB Mobile Shell 2.0 preview
Spb will release mobile shell 2.0 by the end of februari.

it will be amazing!
Wow, that's just about everything I want in one package.
This is amazing. I like the current spb, but this is just amazing. The gestures are such a good idea.
Waiting so long for WM7...
Once again, great SPB work here !
For sure, it will provoked another boost effect in the WM world (after PointUI, who does it in a very different and original manner...)
What I find most interesting is just how rapid the kaiser seemed to respond. There was no lag anywhere in that demo.
Thats certainly not been my experience so far!
cant wait for this to be released...but in the meantime i'l stick with pointui =]
damn, me want now!

Have you gotten PointUI to replace the Today Screen? If you hit the end key, it takes you back to the Today Screen. Any ideas?
wow that is pretty swanky!

I have an old app that works on WM 6.1 called SSEYO MiniMixa. It was made by Tao Group. The company has been sold to Intermorphic Ltd and they are reworking MiniMixa and re-branding it Mixtikl and you can find info about it here. I read in there blog that they are trying for an October release date.
Link to Mixtikl -> http://www.intermorphic.com/tools/mixtikl/index.html
Be sure and check out the screen shots.
Looks like it could blow the lid off Beat Maker. Guess we'll see.

Personally, I think this is the best audio/midi sequencer for the ppc.
PM me If you'd like lepsyfou. I have a special link to that software
Anything else out there that is more current? Mixtikl seems to be in Beta at the moment and the other programs are clearly on there last legs or lack a true VGA skin.
This seems to be where new Winmo devices should shine outside of the capacitive touch and screen size of the IP.. That Iphone is churning out some cool tools, but the hardware is approaching its limits where our phones have room to grow (tabbed programs, RAM, memory, storage)...
I'm gonna throw my 2 cents in for what it's worth...

Neither one of them are great, that's why I'm looking for something better. If you have anything let me know too! =)

Microsoft Recite to be discontinued

Well good old Microsoft has decided that Microsoft Recite isnt good enough for us. They have pulled the plug on the project.
via : http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2009/10/01/microsoft-recite-to-be-discontinued-way-to-go-microsoft.html
to be honest, it wasn't good enough.

I t was interesting concept, but not fully developed. I had it installed for about two weeks, removed it and never missed it.
If it had done speech to searchable text, now that would have been a winner.
my bet is this is being killed as it will be superseded when TellMe launches. Im hoping that will launch on October 6 when WM6.5 supposedly goes official
Agreed.
Now there's an app I'm chomping at the bit for.
TellMe looks really promising..hope they dont axe it
Yeah, it's pretty sweet

But with everything it does, it looks like it should/could/would integrate into the next Bing update pretty easily.
[crosses fingers and hopes they release it for WM 6!]

windows mobile 6.5 NEW LOOK

hi,
im really glad to see so many themes and skins to change windows mobile 6.5 look, which still isnt too good.
there r many nice skins to download but i think we need some more style and WM can look perfect!
I'm user who really doesn't like Windows Phone 7, because it has some awful deficiencies (multitasking, folders, file explorer...), but it has realy nice design!
so i decided to create own pack, that will make WM 6.5 look nicer and will include all must have apps!
i started really great and already have some parts, but there is still much to do!!
I promise i won't disappoint you and will show how nice WM 6.5 can look!!!
its just better OS than we think!
Expect that pack in a month or two...
i'll try to show some pictures in a 14 days and will inform you...
there is really much work to do, so i ask for some donations...
we should not be blinded of WP7 few animations and need to show that WM 6.5 is just better...
For now i can show you only keyboard, but ill post some screens as soon as possible!
(btw... i think HD2 is one really good looking black device so new look will be in black design. Then device and interface could be one!)
I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
XDA Developers does not permit asking for donations in exchange for providing access to an item. You can release the items and have a donation link in the post, but you cannot require people to pay in order to use.
what a tease.....anyways, looking foward to what you have to offer
im going to wait here...hope you dont dissapoint us haha jk
