hi,
i'm looking for a nice iphone or google android looking homescreen for my vox. i had a iphone homescreen but it used facade and i didnt want to buy it only beacause you can use that as an plugin for your phone.
i hope i get nice looking reactions
best regards!
Might I ask how do you expect a Google Android looking homescreen looks? As far as I know no screenshots of Google Android have been released yet...
well there is a demo video.. i thought somebody had seen it and liked so much he made a homescreen like it i dunno i just want a kick ass homescreen that i like
There's many homescreens developed using Facade, check out this iPhone one here: http://forums.sbsh.net/index.php?showtopic=15747
or the others here: http://forums.sbsh.net/index.php?showforum=57
EDIT: ooops, just re-read your post, sorry, not seen any that don't use Facade or phoneAlarm
I love how cookie ht 1.8.5 allows us to simply place a wallpaper on the home tab in high quality, and the ability to put one wallpaper for all other sense tabs, and the mini lock screen. I'd like to push this ability one more step!!!
I would like someone to give me the ability to make a custom wallpaper just for the calendar tab.. or just behind the music tab
one for the music tab.... i have set the landscape, but it's the same as other landscape screens. i'd totally love custom for each screen
I noticed DrSrF BUUFfet custom look has made a weather tab with other wallpapers in the other tabs (Rawrscary/Degake) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683771 using a robot wallpaper. I so want this ability on my hd2!!! Some one please help me with this task?!!
I can't be the only person wanting to rectify this feature for the HD2. I use CHT 1.8.5 simply for the fact of three custom wallpapers, but i totally could see even customizing a few other tabs. one wallpaper across 11 tabs look terrible in my opinion.
with the research i've done in the past few days, I have found a link with xperia x1 user that has configured 13 wallpapers in sense 2.5! I tried to install, but there was a lack in directions to how i may customize these features on tabs.
here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508799&page=12
Please speak up, just support the idea, and maybe a few devs will look into making this possible!!!
Good idea! support it!

Well, In that thread it's just a CAB that they have for that theme. Not really sure exactly if there is some other way to get it changed. If there is, I do not know. Maybe drop a line in the Cookie thread and see if he can build something into the next version of his CHT mod... that would be awesome
As far as HOW - THEY - did it... no clue. I want to know myself. If you find out, PM me please
Finally got my hands on my G Tablet today. I must have the newer one that Rushless mentioned...mine appeared to be a finished product right out of the box. Even the TNT UI seemed to work pretty well. I think it's got a little ways to go to be "great", but it was pretty good already.
Anyway, I installed TNT light after about an hour. I wanted the Android Market and wanted to see YouTube working. Rooting and installing the new ROM was easy, but it leaves me wanting a hybrid of the two interfaces. Most ROMS (maybe all ROMS?) are put together with the idea of running on a smartphone. The TNT UI from Viewsonic seemed to be pretty well thought out for use on a Tablet.
So, my question is this: Are there any Market apps that would mimic the homescreen layout of a tablet? I can't see staying with the TNT Lite UI because it's just like having a giant cell phone. Reminds me of those giant calculators you buy as a gag-gift for old people!
I like the flexibility of TNT Lite. Choose my own background, no restrictions for apps, Flash works, etc. But the layout isn't really "tablet-like".
What do you guys suggest for apps? Or, is there a way to recreate the panels that TNT has?
Thanks!
i think it may be nice to just find really nice widgets. you'll be able to build it all how you want and still have a fast and responsive ui
Agreed. But so far I haven't found any Widgets that are the right size for the G Tab. Anyone have any suggestions?
Maybe I should ask this another way (to hopefully get more responses ).
Is there a way to customize the stock TapNTap ROM that comes standard on the G Tab? It would be nice to have their panelled layout AND customize the background images, colors, etc.
I wonder how hard it would be for someone to develop a Froyo based ROM that is specifically made for a 10" tablet. I've done a little development in my past, but only Windows based stuff.
Have you tried Beautiful Widgets?
If you want a "tablet-like" UI. You can try one of those HC roms~
a HC rom is the way to go for the tablet-like UI, but search for keywords like "tablet" when in the android market for tablet supported apps

you really ressurected an 8 month old thread to give a guy advice on the UI? Countless roms and launchers have been developed since then, I sincerely doubt that he's still having issues 8 months later.
The past week i have been messing around a lot with my phone.
First i had Artemis with android on sd. I thought id try a nand android, but it had a less responsive screen. Also the navigation solutions are not what i am used to with igo8.
The only nice thing about android is the use of the nice widgets like Gmail, Weather, SMS, News and so on. It also has a lot off apps but most of them are useless.
I am back to win mobile but this time i am trying the energy rom
I would love to see more widgets for our Winmobile phones, so that we have best of both worlds in one package.

Have you tried cookie's home tab 2.0 yet? We already have working widgets for all those items you mentioned.. gmail, weather, sms, news and all kinds of others as well (clocks, music players, stop watches, calc's, etc..). I'd suggest searching and doing some reading first b4 posting. I look at it as we already have the best of both worlds since we can run all those other OS's with our devices. Lets see android run windows mobile and do it well.
A have been using cht for a long time now.
Energy has it baked into his rom.
Since i registered here i have been reading a lot and normally i don't ask for things.
I like to read an be a little on the background on this forum, that is why i don't have so many post counts. I was using Artemis since ver 16, almost everyday i visit this forum. I like it very much, only thing is that i can't find what i want using the search function. Often too many hits.
I think i spent about 17 hours this weekend on searching for widgets and stuff.
Sadly could not find it, that is why i posted this.
I would really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks

Hey man my bad for the way that came across. I wasn't bad mouthing or saying anything negative, its just that alot of people start new threads asking questions that could easily be found/answered with a simple search. Believe me, I know how frustrating it could be to find what your looking for using the search here in the forums but thats because of all these new threads being started when the question could be asked/answered in one of many threads on similar topic. Please don't take it as I'm complaining and I certainly don't won't to detour you from posting..i'm just trying to help keep things less cluttered around here. Now anytime anyone else searches for "widgets" they'll have another thread added to the list. See what I mean?
Damn thats a long ass time..17 hours and you came up empty handed?
Here are links to all the CHT Widgets i could find. (just searched and came up with these..)
1 rat_2665's CHT 2.0 Clock Widgets
2 ZaxXx's CHT2.0.0 Widgets
3 DJC & BobsBBQ "Touch of Glass" Sense 2.5/Windows MP Skin
4 RESIZABLE RSSReader
5 CHT2.0 WIDGET TypoClock
6 CHT widget B&L_Group Alarm Widget
7 Oxygene Analogue Clock
8 dSign Clock v1.3 (typoclock variant)
9 Colossus MOD of Poyensa Typoclock
10 The Ultimate Geek Clock
11 MIUI Analog Clock - 3 Clockface Options
12 GregReadClock English
13 Transparency clock
14 Poyensa's Read Clock & Azarbel's DrecWordClock
15 B&L_Group Weather Widget
16 B&L_Group Birthday Widget
17 Background Set
18 TEXTBattery Widget
19 only 10 widget slot problem solution
I understand what you are trying to say.
Those are the ones i also have found.
There are lots of clock widgets and a few other things.
But the widgets i have mentioned earlier......nice widgets like Gmail, Weather, SMS, News and so on..... I still can't find them except for an weather widget(which only works with a few places in Holland, and another one is the same layout as standard) And i could use the rss widget for the news.
Id love to see less clocks and more like news, gmail and that sort of stuff.
Maybe the choice of widgets is a bit smaller because the core functions of WinMo and Sense are quite strong already.
And once CHT is in action, you can make shortcuts/quicklinks to existing apps. Why bother to make a widget for something existing, it´s like re-inventing the wheel, imho.
As an example, touching the sms or mail notification, the respective app opens immediately. That´s perfect for me...
Your right it has nice features already built in but dont like the extra steps i have to make to see a list of all the mails and mark them as read.
In android i swipe to a side and i see all my mails in a list and and check the ones i would like to mark as read. I have a lot of mail traffic that is why i would love that.
The same with news, swipe the other way and have the news right on the screen.
I know that there are more ways to do the trick, but i like the way they do it in android.

WOW dude..So than buy an android! Why complain that your windows mobile isn't more like android..I mean seriously man. I just listed close to 20 different widgets, when you said you spent 17 hrs searching to find nothing, and thats still not good enough. What did you think by starting this thread developers where going to line up here asking what you'd like? Develop them yourself if you don't like everyone else's hard work. You speak of sms and email with one swipe to the side..Those are 2 of the easiest things to set up with cht since they're default widgets.(don't have to install any additional cabs).
I thought asking would be free.
It would have been easy for you just to say that there is no such widget like i asked for.
End of discussion i'll start reading again and try not to post to much.

hey there. these posts get my blood a tad boiling. why? because xda is free and the contributors do not get paid to post. everything here is because people want to create and share. yet these threads happen and in my opinion they just seem to spit in the face of all that work. see the thing is, you didn't ask. you complained. you want nice widgets, implying the ones made for you for free were not good enough. you want less clocks and more other widgets. and you want them for free. WM has never been built on widgets; only with maxsense roms and cht can you find widgets. but yet, you want more. if you want something and it doesn't exist; make it. but really complaining in a forum where wares are made for free that there isn't enough out there is, well, rude.
a post of mine, in a different thread, but with the same message:

hey.
so your post irkes me. at first i was going to ignore it but here i am.
you see, not only do you lessen the work of the people providing "tweaks" (like you are disdainful at people's free work) but you ignore all the fantastic work being done here and just sweep it all under the rug as being "roll overs" and "simple upgrades." really? there are a ton of apps (widgets?) in this forum and the windows mobile general forum that are fantastic...and free.
yes, free.
and provided because people want to share. nothing more.
not enough for you? start developing.
bored of all the tweaks and changing of winmo 6.5? start making some art.
what do you expect with your post? people to run to you and ask you what specific things they can make for you? how they can appease your wants? how about next time you use someone's work, say thanks or buy them a cup of coffee if you can. but don't sit there complaining that what is provided free to you is not enough.
or even better, contribute.

It was impossible for me to find better words. Thanks
I think i stepped on en few toe's here.
Just to get things straight, I really appreciate what all the devs are doing.
And as long as i cant do even a little of what they are doing, you wont hear me complaining about anything they make. I personally cant stand it when people keep nagging that something isn't right on a rom or app.
Believe me, i meant good by starting this post.
Goodbye for now.
Since CHT 2.0.0 was released there is an oportunity to add widgets in the home page of the Sense. [[ UPPPSSS !!! sorry forgot MaxSense ]]
CHT is free & open source, and all the members of the CHTgroups are kindly helping to anybpody who wants to edit, modify and create new CHT widgets. Its not so difficult as you could think initially, i tell you by experience. Just try and have fun
But sense is also more than home tab. Further the standar tabs you can add RSS tab, TV tab, FB tab, documents tab, weather tab, game15th tab, and some others i cannot remember right now.
Even WM is more than sense: titanium, SPB shell, wad, throttle launcher, and some others for sure i dont know!
Anyway i dont understand any competition between OS, I never use other than WM but frequently visit android-WP7 forums (even Iphone ) Anywhere is good for inspiration!
By now the CHT widgets list is limited. I hope that future verssions will bring more widgets. Up to now i have seen lot of PM movement, but I am sure is time to open a thread for widget makers and try to involve more friends in this job pleasure.
Enjoy yourselves!

thanks for the list bro......
I've used SPB Mobile Shell for years - love it:
http://spb.com/products/mobileshell/
I've been looking around for solutions, and I cant seem to find anything on here specifically addressing the issue at hand, or giving a definitive yes or no to other users' related questions.
My issue is that I, like many other users, like to constantly keep the look of my phone fresh, so I'm always updating themes, and trying different launchers. I've settled into 360 launcher for about 6 months now, and really like all the nice themes, the cube-style screen transitions, and especially, I'm a HUGE fan of the 'Cleaner 360' widget. This little guy does the same thing that Autokiller Memory Optimizer's 'Memory Recall' widget does, but it frees up literally twice the amount of RAM!
Now ive come to the point where I want to change things up again, but I REALLY want to keep that cleaner widget. Does anyone have the knowledge to pull that widget out as an APK or any way to load it up in SPB Shell?
