curious to see if this is as fast as Swype is...not likely, but worth a try
EDIT:
Just installed, it seems really cool..I'll have to unlearn Swype for a day or two to really know, but the word prediction feature is stunningly accurate!!
I can't remember; is SwiftKey a tap-to-type or a Swype-like keyboard? I got that email too, but I've never used it.

its tap to type, but it predicts the word you are going to type, so you never have to type an entire word...very cool predictive tech..
If you havnt seen my rom then the link is in my sig. I am thinking about porting this to you mesmerise people, it will take some time remaking the mods I will get there, I need about 5-10 beta testers, agreeing that it might not work. I only have a galaxy i9000 hence I need a few beta testers. Reply to this topic and the first 10 will be chosen. Peace out.
Ps: do you have a leaked froyo firmware?
UPDATE: BETA TESTERS CHOSEN! NO MORE.
No one? Wow.

Give them time
It's not the busiest forum on xda..they will show, just give them time
I'd like to beta test but I'm in school and stuff so I can only test things that at least mostly work, like data and SMS and such I have to have. As long as it is mostly stable I would love to help you test.
As for Froyo, we do not have a leak anywhere.
I looked around in the i9000 forums a bit and if this rom works out good then it would be awesome if you could also port a couple of the themes from over there, I see a lot of really nice ones, specifically the matte minimal one and gingermix are both really awesome looking.

count me in as well, dont do too much at work so that is my play time with my phone.
I will help anyway I can.
six in, i will allow four more and thats it, My Beta roms will not be like whether data mms works, it will be either a soft brick/boot loop which can easily be fixed or a fully functioning system so yeah, its two extremes lol
yes
Count me in!
froyo?!
also, theres no froyo leak so far for the mesmerize but in the fascinate forums they do have an alpha froyo rom out if that helps. heres the link.

i've been looking around for it too guys. keep in mind you probably wont find it on XDA once it gets leaked. since it's a private beta its against XDA's rules to allow people to share the files on their forum. Same thing happened when the swype private beta was released. lots of threads started then closed with links/apk's lol. good luck searching though. i hope we get our hands on it soon.

Didn't work out well either.
Hello all,
I have searched the forums for the EVO 4G and found nothing on this so I thought I'd share.
I recently came across a wonderful home screen replacement in the android market. I was looking for a way to get a simple UI for my phone that didn't use many resources. I began on XDA and then branched out from here. A couple Google searches later, I found an app in the Android Market that replaces your home screen with Windows Phone 7's Metro UI. This UI is simple, easy to use, fast, and above all it works 100% of the time for me. I wanted to share it with you guys because I know there are quite a few people interested in a WP7 port to the EVO. This application is probably as close as we will get for a while and it comes really close to mimicking the UI of WP7 perfectly. You can set custom backgrounds, add any application or non-HTC widget as a tile on the Home Screen, adjust the animations for more eye candy or more performance (although full eye candy works just as fast for me), and many more.
I am going to try and build a ROM with this Homescreen replacing HTC sense to free up both internal and RAM memory. If I can accomplish this using the basic ROM kitchen, I will post another thread about this in the development thread and provide a download.
I have the link to the Android Market page below but if you want to install it straight from your phone, just search for Launcher 7 in the android market. There is a free and a paid version. I have the free, but I am going to buy the paid version very soon. If I make a ROM, it will include the free version for obvious reasons.
Links To Android Market pages:
Free version: https://market.android.com/details?id=info.tikuwarez.launcher3&hl=en
Paid Version: https://market.android.com/details?id=info.tikusoft.launcher7&hl=en
Disclaimer: I did not make this application, nor do I claim any rights to it. All credit goes to the developer,Timo Kujala, for their awesome work on this application. I am not responsible if this messes up your phone (it most likely will not) in any way. I am also not responsible if you get hit by a bus while playing with your new layout lol.
I hope you guys enjoy this awesome little app as much as me and give feedback on whether or not you would like to see a ROM with this as the main launcher.
Nice find!

Seriously? ...
XDA Search = WP7 Project

This is old news.
I highly recommend the OP visit this development team's website and ask permission before using any of their work in a ROM.

Thanks for the post but that's a different app... It looks cool too but I'm working with Launcher 7 specifically as far as asking permission from the developer. I am not claiming to be on the cutting edge with this. Launcher 7 itself has been around quite a while. I like the idea of posting other WP7 launchers though so if you have them go on and post them.

Anyone that would be willing to try the ROM if I built it? I don't want to spend the time if no one wants it.
I'm actually very surprised that there isn't a WP7 Clone ROM out already. I would have thought that if this developer was spending so much time on these various apps... that they would naturally compile them into a ROM.
I would say that OMGB or Salvagemod would be an excellent base for AOSP... or a deodexed stock ROM with minimal bloat or SalvageSense for Sense.
You would simply replace these WP7 apps with those that already reside in the base image and theme to match.
I'm sure I'd play around with it, but could never use it for a daily.
All in all... If I wanted a WP7 look; I'd sell my Evo & buy a WP7 phone.

Hell yeah, I'd try it. I'm playing with WP7Lock and Launcher7 right now.
To other poster, the devs haven't created a rom, because they wanna create something that'll work on all devices, is my understanding.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Alright cool. I'm starting work on it now. It should be finished by Sunday I would say going by how much free time I will have. I have Ubuntu now and I am figuring out how to work the kitchen. The ROM will originally be just stock rooted Sense (I have yet to determine which dev team's ROM to go with) with the launcher baked in, then the second release, if I have enough interest, will be an AOSP ROM with everything stripped except apps people request and will have Launcher7 as the home screen and the WP7 lock screen. Keep up the good feedback guys.
So, you're thinking first release would be stock sense with launcher7 baked in as the default/only launcher?
I gotta say, I don't quite see the point. I mean, how is that different than than simply setting launcher7 as default launcher? Not trying to come across rude, or anything. Just saying I don't quite see the point, or maybe I misunderstood your intention.?
Very interested in seeing this, though. And yeah, using aosp for this project is a great idea IMHO

Too bad they went to work for RIM and abandoned android.
It honestly looks awesome! I cannot wait until they release it!
Yes you are right, looks like tat home, but has additional features like the box folders and the fan out of the apps icons, as well as the not aligned positioning of the icons. Will wait until available to try it out.

if I understand right the google italian translation from chinese there will be new features and the first release is really coming soon...
I like it.. Hopefully it gets finished and not dropped. Also since I own SPB mobile shell I hope they take their ques from TSF. Both are fancy but TSF seems to make the stuff you use everyday fancy. SPB looks nice when I want to show off to friends but 90% of the cool stuff I don't use day in and day out.
