Friends,
Is it possible to skin the AT&T WM6 ppc phone to look and behave like the Apple IPhone?
Tvos
Here's what you need
$400 and this
Do a search for "iphone skin" and programs like iFonz will help you.
Try to make it look unique and useful, instead of making it look like anothe 'me-too' product from Apple...

You're asking Kaiser Owners how to do this?
That's like going to the dark side and asking if theres anyway to skin your Red saber to look like obi-wans shiny blue one...
iphone skins are like dragQueens == you are not fooling that many people in the end
Why does everybody want having his phone look like that gayPhone (or anything starting with i- )?
So you're saying the WM6 user interface is better looking than the iPhone?
Please, I wish you all would STFU with that elitist asshole garbage man. The iPhone interface IS slick and DOES look good. Sometimes people don't want to deal with the WM interface, it isn't pretty. It isn't slick. Period.
If you don't like the fact that he wants an iPhone skin,stay the hell out of his thread, especially if you aren't going to contribute. He apparently doesn't care about your opinion about HIS phone, leave him alone.
Back on topic: Sorry about just adding to the clutter of your thread man, best advice I can give you is to just search around. I haven't tried any iPhone skins, but I do want to try it just to see how it works out.
well said noyz. the chap came on here looking for an answer (which, admittedly if he had searched a little he would have found) and everyone jumps at the occasion to spout loads of 'LOLZ IPHONE IS **** LOLZ' rubbish. people can skin their wm phones however they want - and im sure some people want it to look like an iphone, whilst retaining the kaisers excellent features. i personally dont, but i do use s2u, which i find is an excellent app.
my advice is to search here, and also - if you find theres a bit too much - give youtube a try - most of the 'wm6 iphone' style videos will list somewhere how they've done it, or at least what programs were used - and you'll get a good idea of what sort of stuff you want and dont.
but jesus christ, in what way is it helpful to him to comment 'sell your phone and buy an iphone' :|
im affraid to say thats one of the thnigs i dislike about this site - the arrogance and elitism.

Because its all about choices in life, He bought performance, how on earth can it behave like a iphone with WM, different touchscreen, different hardware etc. I think the interface of the iphone is beatifull, but it performs like nothing.
He decided performace, so he should accept that its not possible to make it a iphone, if he wants, sell the HTC and buy a iphone.
Why does everyone get mad when people suggest to sell the phone to get the iphone? If you want the iPhone UI and feel get an iPhone, plain and simple.
its obviously he doesnt want to magically turn it into an iphone! he just wants it to have a similar ui and look to it. hence the 'how can i skin my phone to look like an iphone'
my point about the 'sell the phone and buy an iphone' comment was that it wasnt constructive help in anyway. its like telling him he should have crapped in a toilet if he had announced that he crapped his pants, so to speak. it doesnt help at all.
what if you want the look and layout of an iphone but you want a wm device and all the features kaiser has? your way of thinking suggests your answer would be to buy nothing and wait, when an appropriate compromise can be made.

Yes, because itæs simply not possible to add an iphone UI to a WM6 device, I will not say het should sell his HTC and iphone, thats a little bit short thinking.
BUT, the poster should keep in mind that he does not have a iphone it is or-or, not both, a iphone iu will never be near realistic since the hardware is so different..

i agree, and it would be very naive to believe that a wm6 device could have an exact iphone ui, but for the sake of arguing - what can be done (taking into account differences in hardware) its not a million miles off.
without making too many assumptions, i would imagine the majority of those that use an iphone style ui on their wm6 device do so purely for aesthetic reasons.

Hello Tvos,
If you're not interested in the WinMo interface and wont something that feels like an iPhone, you may want to test out an application called Point UI. It is not an iPhone interface but it does similarities like a sliding interface.
Hope this helps.
Hi,
Anyone know where I can download iPhone style theme for Diamond?
Really want to see how this interface will look like in small device...
Pls help!
Had seen some as below: (too bad, not freeware & not sure how to install it)
http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10362
Thanks!
Saw Lwin
FAIL. Hang yourself, plz.
Try iFonz. Do a search, and try to avoid making a new thread.
shame on you !
iFonz is too small on diamond's vga resolution
Ifonz doesn't work on Diamond yet. The only free ones I got to work was Itask & the theme grumps made.
The other ones around doesn't fill out your screen.
Buy an iPhone!
I don't have a Diamond. I'm making suggestions based on what the OP asked for, rather than flaming. Maybe you lot should try it some time?
Yeah guys, I know the prospect annoys us all because we got the TD due to it being a better handset than the iphone, but it would be nice maybe to see how such an interface would look on a superior device

Agreed.
Why waste your time hacking your device to mimic another. If you want an iPhone get an iPhone. No device can do iPhone better than the iPhone, just as no device can do HTC Diamond better than the HTC Diamond (yes im looking at those nasty SPB Mobile Shell skins)
ooooooo goddddddd Not cooolll
try this one... a iPhone theme for TouchFlo3D...

Well see you gotta factor in things like, price, rate plan, data plan which provider has what. When you factor in all that some people come to the conclusion they want an HTC phone for (provider, cost, data) but they also want to have an Iphone theme for ease of use look and whatever else. Just responding to the thread saying "buy an Iphone" is pointless and irrelevant to the question and reason for the thread being opened.
In Canada the plan for an Iphone and the plan for other Smart phones with other providers are a fair bit different in price.
why do you want to change a diamond to iphone?
get yourself HTC Hd if you want a larger screen phone
burn him
Ok Maybe there was another post on this before...
And I also had a quick look through the forums to see if theres already an area devoted to the Dream...
But I got to ask,
What the hell was the designer thinking as he or she was scribbling down sketches and design concepts for this phone?
Hardware great,
Android great [though missing fancy GUI like Touchflow3d and uses stranded android desktop],
Fanatic designs and aesthetically pleasing to look at. Oops missed that one.
What the hell where they thinking? It looks like a cheap third world country knock off. A design thats a throw back to the 80s of cream white and ugly buttons.
After the Touch series [diamond pro HD and 3G and Pearls or is it Pebble...] How on earth did they manage to get this one out of the design room?
Hardware wise its fairly similar to the touch pro, so they could of easily gone along the lines of the Touch pro design with Android implementation.
Also why didnt they change the default front end of android with a nicer one?
The whole phone and its development smells of being total rushed without any real thinking at every step.
[except the basic fundamentals like hardware support and driver support under android, everything else though is out the window]
Now I’m sure HTC engineers and designers occasionally look around this forum to test the water so to speak. I only wish they would come forward and explain themselves with this monstrosity, It had the potential to be something truly great. But now seems as if it would be brushed under the carpet.
Maybe im just mindlessly ranting. If thats the case just ignore me

we are a lot of people form third world countries like me...
I wouldn't call Mexico a third world country.
And the term at least over hear doesnt brand a country at all... nor am i identifying a country.
Simply that this phone design has the quality of cheap knock offs.
Sorry if i have managed to offend anyone that wasnt the intension...
So please keep on topic.

I read part of your post but am now ignoring the rest.
Should I go into the Blue Angel forum and start saying how I think it's an ugly piece of poop too, and what was HTC thinking? Seriously.. just your aesthetic opinion.. like everyone else.. let's not try and make it more then what it really is.
I think the dream looks nice. The white one is ok but the black one looks sexy. Also how is it rushed the phone has been in developement for over a year. That doesn't sound rushed to me. I for one can't wait for the phone and I'm going to get it the first day.
why dnt u make a phone yourself... since ur complaining about it.. or dnt even wrry bout it

Heh Heh You said poop.
Ok guys, lets not be so sensitive about his statement.
And lets not make careless offensive statements.
Let's have fun and talk about how pretty the Dream is. (or isn't)
For real...why is everyone jumping all over this guy for an opinion? It's not as if he posted in the wrong forum.
I don't think it's ugly, but hey I have been known to wear stripes with plaid on occasion.
Well, everyone is entitles to an opinion and although I agree it is importnant to be careful how you phrase things, you are always entitled to your opinion. I have many friends from Mexico and lived there myself for a while. They all say the same thing. It is not that great when it comes to looks but I can say that I have had many pretty things that were only so so when then came to performance. I do not look at the cosmetic side as much as I do the performance. I would use a brick if it gave me the best performance and reliability. I just hope they don't jack the price too much...
I've seen this application just came for the iPhone and I thinks its a cool prank application and I wish if someone could port this for the Raphael? It's possible? Here's a video of what I'm talking about http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1nHE-Pi92w
haha thats cool
hope somebody can make it
Stop requesting copied apps from iPhone
don't you think if you want all these apps from iphone, then just get an iphone.....let the developers make apps that make iphone users want our phones...HTC Touch Pro rocks....iphone sucks
your saying that apps make the phone then
its just an app made for the iphone, that doesnt say anything about the phone. I agree with you that i dislike the iphone, i hate the hype, and i hate the marketing scams, but honastly, mac wins me over on their software everything feels more "smooth"
what I don't get is why people are requesting all this really stupid ****, seriously why would anyone pay money for any of it? It's total garbage
Totally agree
Easy people, I know that HTC kick ass, specially iPhone ass. But I just saw the application a I think it's cool, yeah totally stupid and useless but cool. And just wondering if someone can make something like this.
I saw this tread a few days ago and didnt expect these kind of reponses.. YES, its completly useless and YES, it came out on Ibone first, but does that alone make it crap? Personally, i think that its great that Ibone can get noobs excited about touchphone despite the fact that it is completly overpriced and made to much into a '' hype''. Finally i want to say this: Problably for most of us this is not our first touch phone (and problably not the last), i started with the Qtek s100 and what i partially loved about it was the fact that we could have almost unlimited apps and tweaks/mods so despite how useless of a app it may seem i still would like something useless as this as well, and NO i dont want a Ibone.

Very intelligent reply to a honest question. We should all definitely change our opinions of what we think a cool app is based on your very intellectually worded opinion. I'm sure you don't spend your money on something that others might consider stupid right? Is it not ok for someone else to spend their money on what they want and have a different opinion....or should everyone feel how you feel and be a mindless clone?
Just a bunch of Jr Members talking **** and not being productive whatsoever great job guys thats what this forum is for!!
We should count out everything that comes from the iphone right?
What a smart way to grow...
I want this app
I work for a cell phone retailer and would love to have this active when my customers ask to see my phone since our demo's are zipped tied to our display. I would love to see their reaction when they touch my screen and this happens. Im all for it.
iphone ports
its a fun prank to play on some one who owns a iphone, but.....
you have to figure out how to sneek the phone away from them
know how to install a program on the iphone
and finally be ready to record their reaction if there is one at all
but on the same note this app is useless. Fun as a prank to play on your buddies who cherish their phone. But just like me I never let my phone out of my sight. with that said I find it useless to request "ports" because why waste time porting an app when you could spend valuable time making a emulator that will run an iphone os, android for example.
Maybe it would be silly question but I would like to ask if exists any aplication on PDA which use display like weight eg. to 50 grams or something like that. When we have to push the display it should works. It should be caused by pressure, right? Thanks for any answer.
Please Excuse my english
NO problem, but can you explain me more ! I am not sore did i understand you correctly!
resistive touch displays are Boolean as in touch or no touch
it don't detect light touch compared to more pressure touch
it goes from not being activated to being activated to being broken
only 3 stages it got
