[Q] Windows 7 look - Off-topic

Is it just me, or is this new windows 7 ugly as hell? With all the fuss being made about it, how they kept pushing back the release date, I expected MS to change the game. Basically all theyre giving us is a glorified integrated Mortscripts on a basic looking interface. Just because they spin a couple menus around when you press them doesnt make it high tech.

I presume you mean windows phone 7 based on the content.
I'm pretty certain, call me crazy, that windows phone 7 contains more then just a set of ui changes uses the tiles. I'm counting on a lot of features, and stable integration against my other Microsoft products?
I'm sure if you post this thread in the Windows Phone Section you may get a better reply for that.
And to answer your question - It is different, I am undecided if I am one for the tiles or not, but I can see it as something I would get used to and be able to quickly utilise. I mean, why else would people have made an app made to look like it for android, or why else would there be a winmo app out for the home screen. I'm sure some people like it, alot! I personally am looking forward to see what Microsoft have done for Windows Phone 7.
And if you mean windows 7, pc, I think that it kicks ass.....

Dont get me wrong,I'll always be a windows man,but Ive been coming here since 2004,yet nothing had our geeky mouths watering like the prospect of a completely revamped OS.Even if WM7 makes its official entrance,I think I'll stick around for an HTC mod like TouchFlo or something.
Also,I posted it on this forum so I wouldnt come across as one of those kiljoys that ruin perfectly good threads.

LOL, yeah, i do not what you mean, After I posted I did wonder if there would be a fair bit of flaming/arguing! I only suggested it for more a detailed response to the theming and stuff microsoft are throwing on, but then again, I do not doubt that you have already been watching that section.
I'm not sure how much HTC are allowed to skin the tiles/remove the tiles. At one point it was only meant to be a certain number of tiles allowed to be changed by the operator (I think, I concede I may be wrong though).
But then from reading pocket lint, it looks as though HTC have come up with this which to me looks pretty sweet to be honest. Nice simple and basic.
I am seriously thinking of getting one of the new HTC devices when it comes to contract renewal and seeing how I go with it for the first few days and see what my carrier will be willing to do for me.

I like WP7, but not the home screen. That title thing is ugly and whats with the wasted space on the top and right side? Just doesn't make sense.

Now thats what Im talking about.HTC has rescued windows a lot of times from being obliterated by prettyfied devices like iPhone(HTC Cube,HTC Home,Manila,etc). Apple has proven many times that people care more about looks than functionality.

It does look a bit boring but 1+ would be that it is able to daulboot opensource os's Anyone know if bada is open source

its no wonder android is taking up so much real estate in the OS market. what's up with this TouchXperience? Looks like it's setting up to monetise. Would have been nice to have... It looks like we'll be paying for everything soon, even themes. How nostalgic.

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.

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.

Official iphone software from the people that made the GUI.

visit http://www.v2r.ag
This is the company that produced the GUI for the iphone and it now also has similar ones available for the kaiser. These will appear on your today screen as a full user interface and runs very smooth.
Some of the products have to be purchased but the main ones are shareware
Hope you all enjoy
EDIT: Obviously the icons aren't the same as the iphone as apple owns the graphics
some comments on what you guys think about it would be nice lol
That is a powerfull homescreen plugin!!
Love it!!
I take it you are on about their product "X-Cube". Sadly, it's the product with the least amount of information. The O2 Active UI is also available on there (and seems to be free). Last time I used that was on my wizard where I removed it asap because it didn't appear able to cope.
I wonder if my Kaiser would manage it.
Good find!
yeah the active UI is the specific piece i was on about. It handles perfectly on a kaiser
fidly
can't really knock it as its be best i've seen bar htc's own. its not really clear enough fr me what each of the buttons do or mean. if its not intuitive then i can't recommend. it looks great and feels initially like you should love it however after5mins of working it i'm back to my htc home. sadly...
Love it, check this :

Which one? I tried the one labelled "V2R Active UI v1.0" and it was a bit crappy, I had a whole pile of free things already which were better.
The one labelled Active UI Multitouch (which is shown in the picture above) had issues (praise be for safe mode) on my Kaiser, but I am guessing it is something to do with the fact that I don't use WMP and I have Mobile Shell installed.
I was hoping for something similar to the O2 Active UI which they are showcasing here -

I probably ought to go yoink the cab off my Wizard when I see my Dad next.

These guys had kinetic scrolling on the today screen before everybody else,they just never improved on the friction which made it too slow to make a splash.Then they sell you icons at this day and age.They obviously took a few tips from Apple.
This is true but when they were the creators of the GUI for the iphone they know the company will now be reputable enough to start charging for additional icon packs

This product is pretty crappy and slow compared to a lot others out there. I also had problems removing Point UI from my device... yuck.
It was slow to respond, setup was very frustrating and not very intuitive, programs are hard to find and difficult to sort through... No real improvements and it limits viewable area a lot with the "touch to open" feature taking up a big portion of the screen. If you want something like this I would go with Ultimate Launch or SPB Mobile Shell.

I mainly use(and develop) Microsoft Windows products, even if I'm a registered member of the Apple Developer Network.
Not sure what you're trying to imply but following your twisted reality, Bill Gates stole Windows from Big Blue...well...he paid a couple of bucks for it.
Anyway, I'm still not sure what you're trying to say but one thing is for sure: Apple DID NOT outsource iPhone GUI development, this is a FACT and you can rant about it all day long, it doesn't change the truth.

HTC Dream... Seriously WTF

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

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

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...

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.

iOS 5 - Annoys Me.

So, Apples sues everyone under the moon, but takes every feature from Android, packages it up as some "magical" update and fanboys choke on .. edited this...
Wait, so... are all of the developers going to have to redo their apps to work on iOS 5... since it didnt have this notification bar earlier? Fragmentation?
I hate that the notification bar looks so good on iOS 5. Hate it, but you have to admit they made it better looking.
Moved this to my new Blog. If only I had this created before I made this rant.
Are details released already?

I really hope Jobs gets sued. I hate him with a passion.
How can they be suing companies (samsung) for not being innovative/taking their ideas... and be on stage introducing iOS5 as the latest/greatest when these feature are 3 years old on Android?
I don't know why, but Google REALLY should sue. If Microsoft gets $5 for every HTC Android device sold, Google should get $5 for every iOS device sold with iOS 5.
EDIT: LOLOL, THEY COPIED SENSE 3.0 WITH THE LOCKSCREEN WIDGETS THING. They're so ****ed.

"sometimes to innovate, you have to copy."
-actual Gizmodo quote
They have been doing this for years! I remember back when iPhone first came out and they acted like web and email on your phone was a new thing. I had been doing it on Windows Mobile for years.
Am i missing something? No widgets???

hahah its nice to know jobs running out of ideas....someone suggest him to make an
iAndroid app.....for easy access to android goodies....
On the brightside guys....ppl with iCrap can now actually be a tad happier. Imagine what it would be like if you were stuck wint iCrap and didn't have notifications and ppl you knew had that on Android. It felt almost as if you didn't have a smartphone.
Give them some slack.
Personally I see nothing wrong with taking other people's good ideas. I mean most PC operating systems are all based on the same digital ancestor. If I am trying to rip into an impenetrable bag a chips and see someone else do it well I will copy them and probably show other people something "I learned from that guy/gal over there". However...
Suing people who do something similar to you (especially in parallel research) is effed up. If they didn't go around patent trolling and suing everyone else in the business I would think "cool, good for iPhone folks", which i still believe, but at the same time I see Apple doing all these things and think "Fuuuuuu-!" especially when I think about a few months from now when they start a law suit to say someone pre-copied them or that after Apple copied them they continued doing it.

I don't know why, but Google REALLY should sue. If Microsoft gets $5 for every HTC Android device sold, Google should get $5 for every iOS device sold with iOS 5.
EDIT: LOLOL, THEY COPIED SENSE 3.0 WITH THE LOCKSCREEN WIDGETS THING. They're so ****ed.
EDIT2: Does anyone here think that Apple will try to sue Google for using "their" notification system?

Apple sued Samsung for a couple of logos, and the box around the logos(app drawer), basically. LOL
I am wondering how an OS that is "open source" and thrives on expansion and adaptation can sue anybody for taking a "feature" that is on just about everything. I think the sue'ing game has gotten way out of hand. Just make make your shot and if people want it they will buy it....
Oh and on another note. As far as re-introducing Android 1.5 features, I think they are just going to perfect it like they have most of their other stuff.
