Hy all,
Do you guys believe we will someday have the new Sense interface from HTC Hero for the Raphael?
That works with Windows Mobile, or we change to Android?
We change to Android.
But we can boot android on windows mobile so it is not so big problem
Yes Kinda
The article on this site www.wmpoweruser.com says that they are planning to have it on WM devices in the near future.
wow and already a new touchflo 3d interface at the top of that link
Any eta time yet?
I hope it comes to the G1 soon, it looks amazing.
Ported to the G1 already.
iPhone skinners are already making a version of it as well.
I think it's one of the best looking UIs ever made.
No, it's not better than sense. Sense > Touch Flo
thats debatable.
Boooo, i'll stick to Touch Flo the hero is ugly i hate how it bends at the bottom and that stupid little ball
Better the ball than nothing(HD,Pro2,D2)
Sense looks good,but I think the video is a bit faster than normal,so I don't think it will be soooo fast as presented. Have seen similar video with TP and comparable fast Manila,but we know the reality...
I doubt that the interface is as smooth as the video as well, but I doubt it's as crappy slow as TF3D is. Touch Flo is cool, but if I was willing to shell out coin for SPB Mobile shell, it cuoldn't have been THAT great right? If Sense lives up to the video, I'd gladly get rid of MS.
Hi All,
Would like to share some backgrounds I did for myself for SPB mobile shell 3.x - in b/w style.
Thanks all for this wonderful community. You just revived my Samsung Omnia with all the tweeks I found here
any screenshot
anyway i am the first one
Here is a preview:
Guys i am waiting for the android to be rooted but till then experimentation of the ui with apps is under process !!
The excellent launcher i recently used unofficially is SPB Shell 3d .. got a link lying around somewhere (Google)
http://www.spb.com/android-software/shell/
Here's the official link ofcourse !! this app has a license as in if your wifi or internet is on this app will say that you need to officially buy the software !!
Basically when you install it with an apk !! and press the home button it will ask for htc sense / spb shell 3d in our htc incredible s and down will be a tickmark saying set as default .. check that tickmark and launch spb shell 3d !! and use it as full version with wifi and everything !! if you want to clear defaults it can be done from Settings->Applications->SPB shell 3d !!
This is just for usage and trial purposes !! if you like the app go ahead and buy it ! Njoy !!!
ive played with it allready and i dont like it at all....
it is not very user friendly, and it sucks up allot of memory...
and yes ive played with the full version...
IMO, sense is nicer than this! i have spb on all my devivces
even i lovee sense itself !! but its good to have a change sometimes
@nikhil007mmus, you should look at go launcher its nice and clean and has a lil more options than the regular one
@Hawkysoft Surely il try go Launcher !! thankss !!
Yeah... I tried too.. But HTC Sense is looking better comparatively, and moreover I found that on HTC 3D mobile, they have a 3D user interface which is much cool than SPB Shell.. If they release the same for Incredible S too.. it would be awesome...
May be I am day dreaming a lot these mean days...
htc sense is enoughfor me
i like MIUI's GUI,the others are just so so

Here the same. (I used spb shell on my last phone, blackstone)
From Nameit's Incredible s using XDA Premium App
It is so tacky and cheesy. The 3d carrousel looks good but all the bezels for widgets and folders are just 10 years out of date.
seems very cool, have a try ~~~
If you want to see how good this could be been, and could have looked, look at sense 3 on the sensation or flyer.
using live wallpaper already take enough CPU time....and the 3D does not do any good
love the sense
I tried this, looks cool and doesn't lag but wished it had more customization capabilities, reverted back to launcher pro plus
I like sense 3.0 much better than spb
There is nothing as good as LauncherPro

awsome!! it looks great, i like it.
thx 4 sharing!!
This used to be cool. Back when I had my N95 8gb but in my opinion they are just selling the same old over priced crap

hi I'm currently using spb shell 3.5 but I saw that there are very beautiful skin also for wad2. so my question is which is better between this two program??? i saw spb shell is more expensive than wad, but I want an opinion from those who have used their which is the most customizable? which is the lightest at the startup?
thanks a lot
I used both. Each of them can be customized and there are plenty of themes floating around for both of them (a bit more themes for wad). I sticked to spb mobile shell cause it seemed a bit faster on my device (HTC Touch HD WM 6.1) and i think it's more eye-candy than wad

THROTTLE LAUNCHER is too heavy... spb is much faster becouse my viva doesn't have the 3d graphical accelerator, the cpu have 264 Mh and little ram, so it work slow (very slow) but i really like it

it doesn't exist :'( so when your theme (LACUNA 3.0 ) will support qvga version i will try it
In my opinion spb shell is absolutely the best...especially if you use it with a sense theme... but i've never tried throttle launcher

SPB MObile Shell cannot be customized very easily, and one cannot create new widgets. Throttle Launcher is very easy to customize and also new widgets can be created easily.

going back to the main question: WAD is very good customizable but SPB mobile shell is faster.
I have been forced to live SenseUI free and have returned to some of my old skinning apps that I used pre-Sense. One of those is Wisbar Advance, made by Lakeridge who also makes WAD.
My recent experience with Lakeridge is they are dead. I made a few posts there and received no replies. My last post was a request for updated skinning info which has been there, unanswered, for more than a week. The forum is flat, there is no support there anymore and no one is skinning it anymore. Worse, all the links to old skins are all dead. Only a small pittance of skins that have been posted to Lakridge's forums are still available for it.
Because of this I created a skin myself, ironically enough. I actually released it today. Its here. Gratuitous plug: here is the promo flyer for it. But, I think no one is interested given the lack of activity around Lakeridge's site itself.
So a big caution with WAD. Its a dead end. Personally I've never liked WAD, I found it very buggy, but this was like 2 years ago. I have always liked Wisbar Advance though, and used it extensively before I got a HD2 and Sense.
That is not to say that SPB is any better, though. The difference is SPB abandoned their customers long ago, so nothing much is different. See the conversation I had with Vostradamus in his thread towards the end. Maybe because of this, the skinning community for Mobile Shell is very much alive here at XDA.
Now that I have been using Mobile shell for a few months, I have to say, thanks to the great artists at XDA, I find I like Mobile Shell far more than I like SenseUI. I will never be going back.
i like both...especially SPB mobile shell
