all the 3d feutures are included in spb mobile shell 3.5 too, as i can tell the inly thing that is new in 5 is the animated contact tab and the change wallpaper in home tab. If u allready got 3.5 go to graphic settings and set "use hardware accelerator" to on, and if u have a g-sensor phone u can allso use that 2
hope it still supports windows 6.1
SPB has gone far ahead with this release. People are just loving it..looking forward
Guys,
Just in case if u didn't saw thsi official preview video explaining the new function then see this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bE7vkxJnKY&feature=related
Must watch excellent presentation i have ever seen.
i would like integration with RSS as some widget you can put on the first page.
i prefer all-in-one solution (facebook, rss, some photo contacts, agenda, some shortcuts... in one screen). At least we have 3,6" windows mobiles as HD2 with hi res.
I think Touch flo is step back,
Also it will be good to make easier widget change or resizing like Samsung's touchwiz or lot of different widgets.
I hope MS5.0 still support "free connection" update unlike Android or Touchwiz.
I just hope I won't have to work months to convert all my stuff lol
EDIT: oh, and I also hope they'll finally give a meaning to the currenly almost useless tasks widget
i didnt even know version 4 is out yet!

it isn't... it won't
they're going straight from 3.5.3 to 5.0... looks like in some eastern cultures the number 4 means bad luck, so they're skipping it

I noticed in the second youtube link in this thread, there is mention of the widget sdk. The description was kind of sketchy, but it could mean that developers will now have a platform to develop their own widgets (instead of just skinning existing ones) which could really open up the platform. It would be truly great to see what some of the developers here can do!
same old SPB only with 3D crap
i think its all marketing trick..
why "5"? you have only added 3D.. so.. why?
its not that you have developed new concept.
i think its the same old **** with only 3d cover.

Well, for instance, if they add multitouch I may go back to SPB... otherwise, I stay with Sense.
meh where is it? i remember that release date was summer this year...I waiting for v5 so long..,Any news about rel date?
Does anyone have the other HTC Apps that are shown on the hub in all the photos.
Notes, Stickys and flash light?
All i have is the photo editor
No, on my O2 handset they are also missing.
If you go into Marketplace > Applications there is an 'HTC Apps' category on the first screen but selecting it only says 'not available'. I was hoping there would be either some pre-installed or available to download free to HTC devices. Bedside Clock was the one I wanted forthe HD7.
I'm disappointed by the quality of HTC's apps so far.
They are still designing their apps in the Sense style, when everything about Windows Phone 7 is Metro. For a good example of this, have a look at the Unit Converter app (by Microsoft) available from the Marketplace. It fits perfectly with the Metro style. The HTC Converter app is garish in comparison with too much faux-3d bezels, borders and colour. I uninstalled it immediately. The same applies to the Stocks app; it doesn't fit with WP7.
And in fairness to many of the other developers on the Marketplace, they have seen the advantages of the Metro style and have developed their GUIs in accordance.
Let's hope HTC will release future apps in the Metro style.

I totally agree! I was getting so tired of the Sense UI, which I've used since early Touch3D, and have been looking forward to change - they have flooded the market putting it on WM and Android.
I think the new HTC HUB is a big let down, the apps don't have a common interface, it takes too long to get into the weather. All the HTC hub is for is eyecandy.
HTC created the "info at a glance" UI with Sense, but they have totally lost the plot.
The flashlight app is probably the only one I'll continue to use. Am I right in thinking that most of the flashlight apps on the Marketplace don't actually use the LEDs on the back, they just change the display to full brightness?
I have to say the Love app is particularly bizarre..

Hi I have the Htc HD 7 on O2 network Uk and I have download all the Htc apps and are running fine.
although I do feel that htc hub is a waste on the phone. I t should have been more like how they have it on android. I beleive Microsoft is at fault.
But they are brilliant apps though too bad they dont compliment WM7 much as they do android .
Might get my self an Desire Hd as well

The Nexus S also has a gyroscope...
Thats a pretty cool effect. Is it possible to do the same with a live wallpaper on android?
Theres a swedish dude working on it. Im guessing there will be a thread on XDA when its ready.
In order to detect the angle of a phone you need an accelerometer. Not a gyro.
You can determine the angle of a phone with a gyro by integrating it's results twice but that is not very accurate and the error (actual position - calculated position) will increase dramatically over time. This is not the case when using an accelerometer. It works by measuring the pull of gravity (acceleration) on the device. Ofcourse when the device is accelerating (for example while in a car) the results will be off.
It's easy, I will make it today for you
No offence but what does an iphone wallpaper app have to do with the optimus 2x? :|
3D Wallpaper Effect
I have done first version!
See them at the Market by name "3D Wallpaper Effect" (sorry I can't post URL's yet), also you can find my previous live wallpaper - "Green Live Wallpaper" at this market account too.
This Live Wallpaper for all Android phones, which support Live Wallpapers, not only LG Optimus 2x
In next releases, I will add selection of own images, tilt strength, and optimize refresh rate.
Waiting your feedback,
Regards!
Too bad i cant test it yet. My 2x hasnt been delivered yet and my g1 lags with live wallpapers so i guess it will be even slower with an 3d one.
Well i tried ur apk i like the idea but its verry sluggish and stuttering not yet the smooth effect that the itouch had in the vid but i geuss its a start

Please smooth out! This would be siiiick... also a different wp image would be better... lol water drops are to iphonish (blah)

Just work on the stuttering! Please!!!
Seems pretty cool, but not quite so effective wow effect as in the video... image "wiggle" a little when holding the phone... guess it's jus my shaky hands, but could it be fixed? Higher tollerance perhaps?
Smooth version will be soon.
Thanks for reply

These are NOT taken/made by me.
All I did was find them, center, cut (change ratio for xoom) and upload.
If you want me to add a wallpaper that you found, leave a post here, and email me ([email protected]) the wallpaper in highest resolution you can find.
How to set a wallpaper on Xoom (for newbies):
Left-click on any wallpaper here. Once on the hoster website, left-click it again (don't right click - save!)
When you see the full, big version of the wallpaper, only then right click - save image.
Connect Xoom with a microUSB cable to your PC.
Go to My Computer and you'll see "Xoom" in a minute(no drivers needed)
Double click Xoom, then "Device Storage", "Pictures" (or wherever you want to save them)
Copy the wallpaper(s) there (if they are in zip, make sure to unzip them first)
On Xoom, log-tap on home screen, tap "Wallpapers", then "Gallery".
Tap the folder where you've saved the wallpaper(s) ("Pictures" for example). Tap on wallpaper.
Drag the corners of the clue rectangle to engulf the entire wallpaper.
Tap "Ok" in upper right corner.
I'll be adding more if you guys like these.
Thanks to klone96 for adding the official XOOM wallpapers.
Enjoy =)

HD Wallpapers from the Market does not work on my Xoom. I installed it, but when I go to open it it does not work at all. Did you actually get this to work??
This is strange.
If you try and open the HD Wallpaper app in landscape, it closes instantly but if you hold the Xoom portrait style, it works. (at least on mine).
Try it and let me know if it's the same on your end.
nice, thanks.

Hey guys, there a new 3D launcher available called Regina. It looks really amazing, and puts SPB mobile shell to shame. Best of all, its FREE!!!!. ill test it and post a feedback very soon. in the mean time do give it a try
"Regina 3D Launcher
A launcher that uses pure 3D graphics has arrived.
Regina 3D Launcher has exciting and dynamic 3D effects for your pleasure.
Browsing workspaces, creating shortcuts, and removing widgets have gotten a little bit more fun.
And that's not all, we have more great features that you might be interested.
Now experience the excitement and fun you can have with all the cool features in Regina.
Video demo of Regina Launcher can be found on YouTube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXhtxecPHr8
* Highlighted Features
- Intuitive 3D workspace browser
- Separate wallpaper for each workspace
- Secret workspaces where you can hide some of your app shortcuts and widgets for your privacy
- Regina widgets (full 3D widgets)
- All widgets and shortcuts can be positioned freely without much restrction in workspaces
- Uninstall apps from workspace directly
- Pleasant visual effects
* Notes
- First of all, select "Version x.x.x" item in Regina Settings menu and update all app in list.
- Supports Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread and tested on Galaxy Tab too.
- Live Wallpaper is not supported because of performance issue.
- Because Regina 3D Launcher is pure 3D graphics, your device must have a decent graphics chip to gain usable performance."
EDIT: Here's a video of some of the other improvements that the developers are working on:
http://www.youtube.com/user/NemusTech#p/a/u/2/HQu53fuzarE
first impressions are really good. the transitions between home screens are brilliantly fluid. the flipping of the digital clock is smooth most of the time but sometimes it does get a little choppy, but its easily overlooked. some niggly bugs, but they are easily overlooked. excellent eye candy. not many add-ons yet, but the available ones are brilliant with superbly smooth transitions and good animation. unfortunately everytime u launch an app ie text messaging, and go back to your home screen, it takes a while (ie a brief lag) before u get there. slightly annoying, but its nt sthg tht'll make u uninstall this otherwise magnificent launcher.
the weather application does not have very many cities yet, but im pretty sure all these minor things will be fixed in newer updates. the menu is a horizontal style transition with numbered pages, as opposed to the standard android style vertical scrolling. the translucent menu means the home screen is visible in the background...a rather nice touch
the theme application has some very pretty wallpapers to it. sadly though, i cant seem to synchronize the theme of the home screens with the lock screen, and unfortunately i cant seem to use the wallpapers that are already on my phone for the home screens. not a major issue, but a lil annoying.
all in all, i think for a free launcher, it certainly gives launcher pro, and SPB mobile shell, which are both paid apps a run for their money.
there is also word that it is open source, for themes and such, so devs take note
Final Word: in my personal opinion, i find this the best launcher i have used so far. and i do hope that the updates and bug fixes will be released sooner to make it even better.
EDIT: This application is especially brilliant for people looking for a good launcher but are unable to purchase applications from the Android Market due to the fact they come from countries in which google does not distribute applications just yet: ie Malaysia, Indonesia, China etc.
Thanks I'll test this

You can find the weather widget, calender and to-do list on the marketplace already. If u search for more products under the devs name you would locate it. However you need Regina launcher to be able to use those widgets. Regina widgets will not work with other launchers.

from what i hear this particular launcher is open source. so you could very well design your own widgets
I tried it...but it was slightly slower than Motoblur and LauncherPro. It is ok to live with but gets annoying after a while.
