Some of you guys may have had a Windows Mobile phone before. And you should then propably know about SPB Mobile Shell, a very fast good looking launcher. And it's coming for Android. So sign up for the beta now.

Cool, but
1. This must be a battery killer.
2. I doubt that it will be available on Wildfire. Or it will lag like hell.

1. I think it won't be a battery killer, cause it will be a home screen application, like the others .... i used it when i had my HTC Kaiser ... and this was very cool, usefull app
2. SPB ran very well on Windows Mobile ... on "oldschool" phones too ... so i think wildfire will be enough
Have smooth when run on Wildfire?
Hope this works on wildfire...

I had SPB on my old HTC Magician, but the 3d stuff lagged sometimes.
2. Maybe But we can`t play Raging Thunder on the Wildfire, but I can play the WM version on a 400Mhz processor with smooth 40fps.
Don`t get me wrong, I want this to work well on all devices.

Has anyone switched to Mobile shell? Have you noticed much of a difference? In battery life, Memory Usage and speed of interface??
I am about to install it on mine and will try and give an indication of how things went...
I did... But i haven't notice any difference in battery life.. yet ! .. But; memory usage, interface speed is better than TF3D...
Nice I know have it on mine, I'm trying to figure out how to customise mobile shell to give the same functionaliy as touch flo as in not so complicated, links to opera instead of ie etc etc. Any ideas??
So far though I definantly like mobile shell more, touch flo is prettier but mob shell is far more functional in day to day use. Based on nothing than my hopes and dreams and use of less system recources I think my batt life might be better.

yes it does...search for...SPB Mobile Shell 2.1 Theme / Skin Collections Thread here in xda...where it all started
Has anyone tried this instead of the TouchFlo 3d?
How well does it perform?
I have it on my Touch (telecon NZ). I just use the Spb shel with WM7 skin.Also the pocket cm wm7 skin. Coupled with s2play it works very well, not a prticualr drain. Far nicer ntrfac thab the stnard wm6 today screen no matter how skinned.
Hey all,
I don't know how many people have used the new D3D drivers yet, but I just did it with an old Dutty's 6.1 Cube ROM, and oh my God it's like night and day! Just figured I would spam with this fact. Have a nice day .

Are you sure it's not dutty's that is fast?
I think he meant to say the D3D drivers made the cube 'faster' than it was already.
as fast as Winterface... like can I hold the cube in the middle?... lol prolly not cuz of software, but cube was pretty fast either way... can u give us more specifications so we can try it on ours too... like which cube etc...
I'm using slither's cube, and whether it's my imagination or not, it definitely seems faster. Maybe i'll take a video of both when i get the time, and make a real comparison.
This probably should be in the Kaiser Software forum, just for future reference. I'm sure a mod will move it for you though.

which one? his c++ one, or his flash lite one, because i like his c++ one more
also i thought that these drivers didnt work for full-screen apps ?

That is what i thought also. It could be the rom i'm using to Garmin's V2. I'm using his uno cube with the flash lite bundle. The pages flip almost instantly, it's very nice.

lawls, no. The C++ cube was created for the sole reason that there was no 3D acceleration (until recently). I'm talking about the actual cube. It's like greased lightning.
And technically this could go in software or ROM development, since D3D drivers I would consider part of the ROM and not software.
bout time i got a new rom i think as this will not work on my current
Dutty's rom is the cube from the Touch Dual. The FPS Cube. It has always been fast. You can edit the fastnes (fps) in the register....
It does not have anything to do with the drivers.
ahh...I'm a tard. I havent used the cube in so long i didnt remember. Poo. Someone close this thread!
The drivers are only active for D3D applications. Cubes do not use D3D.
For now, only a few applications use D3D (mostly games).
Hello there,
this may be a little off-beat, but does anyone know if you can install and use pocket fritz 4 (or another top program, like shredder) on the Hero?
I have no idea!!
FRITZ?
...i wish i could take FRITZ with me wherever i went...although the only FRITZ i know of is the Gentlemens club down the street haha.
...sorry couldnt help
Hahaha got me there. I could have been a little more specific. There's more info on the program here:
Link
It says on the page: System Requirements: Pocket PCs or mobile phones with Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.5, 6.1, 6.0, 5.0 or Windows Mobile 2003 with Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition. Touch screen. For installation: Windows PC with DVD drive. For activation: internet access (from the device or through your Windows PC).
So I guess you really need a windows mobile? Thats a big bummer! Is there a way to get a .cab working on a android-phone (thats not too complicated, so even a noob like me understands?)
Why wold you want that. The graphics are not that good. I have a Windows Mobile HTC Touch Diamond, that runs the NEXUS ONE Android(2.1)(the live wallpapers version) and on the A. Market there are a lot of chess apps that have a good user interface. But I was just giving you an idea.

Hiya!
Yup, I know there are some other chessprograms, but if you want to analyse a game on the go, I don't think there are much alternatives. Pocket Fritz is simply the best, and maybe even the only one that can analyse a position
the best
hi all ,
yes ! of course pocket fritz 4 is the best and ultimate, and hero of chess in ppc land !
with an elo perfomance near 2938! super grand master ! this means it playse and analaises
more powerful than Gary kasparov !
only for that ,I have stuckked with
windows mobie yet !
Shredder Chess recently released an Android version of the Shredder application. While I don't think it's quite as powerful as Fritz, it does offer you game analysis at a pretty strong level on your Android. It's EU5.99, so about 7 or 8 dollars, which isn't too bad. I've paid for it and it's a very high quality application.
Best iPhone Clone Program For Windows Mobile Phones
as seen here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PooqL1WkHmo
I am the one who created the iPhone theme version 6, 3 years back, it was a great success but there were issues with the fact that it did not work with wm6 and also there were newer versions of wisbar released, which made me create this new theme, in this time i sold my old o2 XDA IIi and now have an N97 but i am seriously disappointed with it. So i download the wm6 SDK and created the new theme on it, the new wisbar allowed me to create same transition effects as that on iPhone.
I am soon going to post the theme on my website http://appleiphone.110mb.com/
and my blog
http://aleksander100.blogspot.com/
Stay tunned and hope you all like the theme.
looks like there is no more point developing.
I am just offering some feed back. I am not try to bash or discourage or upset. There is already a very good iPhone clone that is currently actively being developed. I think it would be pretty hard to beat. So I just wanted to give you a heads up. You can check it out here if you want to...

Honestly I don't think it's bad, but I don't understand why you'd want to emulate an iPhone on a WM device. Get an iPhone instead.

I can think of a couple of reasons.
1. "Sense" as a UI is a total resource hog. When I was using it as my today plug in I would boot at like 70% and be up to 80% after a couple of hours. When I boot up with iPhoneToday as my today plug in I boot at 50%. Makes quite a difference in the speed at which my phone responds.
2. Using sense I push a button to to go to my start menu. Then I push a button to go to my settings. Then I push a button to go to my Comm Manager. Then I push a button to Turn on my Wifi. Using iPhoneToday I push my Wifi button and I am done.
3. How about this one. When I was running the stock Verizon Rom with "Sense" I had 100mb free for storage and 60mb free for memory. When the HSPL came out for my phone (the Imagio) and I was able to get a cooked Rom with Titanium only (no Sense) I now have 210mb of free storage and 90mb of free memory.
So- there are a couple of reason. I could list more. But people that hate the iPhone wouldn't care what I say. It won't matter to them bc they have predetermined that anything that starts with a little "i" is the enemy.
^Depends on what phone you have.
Srsly why not get an iphone? emulating iphone on a winmo device is just ridiculous. :\
I <3 my x1 winmo device, the sense ui is a defnite bonus. ♥

And? Couldn't you use a memory card to store your data? Do you need to run any complex 3D simulation programs on your smartphone?

I don't hate it at all. I simply find it really limiting to my needs. Heck, I made my wife take one on subscription, considering her computer is an iMac and that she has not all my needs on a phone (a work companion).
Said that, I still think that if you really want an iPhone, just buy (or subscribe) one. You'd be happier than with a clone.
Honestly I hate that WinMo users try to convert their devices to Iphones...
And that mere statement is a PRO about WinMo: It is soo versatile, that you can simulate any UI you want, from Iphone to Android...that´s something you can´t do in an Iphone...
There´s a lot of beautiful UI´s for WinMo: TF2D, TF3D, RLToday, SPShell, Bell UI, Point UI, Titanium, etc, etc, etc...
Anyway, if you need/want an UI similar to Iphone´s, have you ever try Vito Winterface? I´ve seen an Iphone skin around xda...
Regards
few things i dint mention--
the theme supports landscape,
at&t brings out start menu
and the theme doesn't look smooth as hypercam dint record it well.
The wallpaper can be set by the user as per his/her desire.
More icons in development and vga version is also in making.

So why don't have best of all on WinMo? Some people need lifestyle, some need usability. I need usability, all informations on 1 screen (and not 1/3 of screen just for a clock like in Manilla), speed (most used apps in RAM) & stableness.
For MY needs most UI's are too heavy loaded or uses too much resources or can't be configured a easy as IPT (also it's better than the original on iPhone, )!
No one talks about S2U2, which is also a clone and also better than the original!
Never heard an iPhone user saying that Apple "converted" apps from WinMo!!! They just use it and don't discuss!
BTW iPhone is more stable than WinMo because you can't do everything!
I've been using IPT for months now and I love it because it's simple, gives me what I am looking for quickly, easy to use/configure, and fast. I hate - HATE!!!! - the WM6.5 default look. Sense sucks too as far as I'm concerned. I'm not hell bent on having an iphone clone, but I would just like a screen with all the info right there, and not tabs to scroll through. I'd switch to something else if it was better, but I have yet to find it.

Installed and...fore close
I did try and it does not run. I got a reply from SPB support confirming this.
Cant get SPB to work, both the beta and the public release....SPB requires a hell lot of RAM and our poor Heros are too weak to handle it...only thing to do is envy people running it on other phones.
spb shell 3d needs OpenGL ES 2.0
And the hero stuck at OpenGL ES 1.0 en some thimes 1.1

Well it runs fine on my fren's Galaxy S 2.1 stock which I believe is GLES 1.0 or 1.1. It may be that for full optimisation, it requires GLES 2.0. Well time to realise that our Heros should soon go down to rest in peace.
hmm.. Hardware doesn't meet the requirements.. Dont think it will ever run smoothly
Force close,as mentioned our hero is going to die due to its hardware..
