Guest mediavue Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 I am still searching for the perfect shell... and I have used just about all of them... the closest I have found to my liking that works is Winterface... but it is not skinable and there appears to be battery drain... also there is not much in the way of settings for it... Any other suggestions?

Guest jasonrabbit Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 hi i use throttleLauncher it works great on i900 you just need to set screen height i'v set mine at 347 it fit just fine i love this and used it on my Kaiser before moving onto the Best WM phone ever i900
Guest pidsw Posted September 13, 2008 Report Posted September 13, 2008 I am not sure if I did something wrong, but the last time I used throttleLauncher, it was insanely slow (i.e. 5 seconds to tabl to a different screen). This was on my kaiser. I generaly use the plain unskinned mobile shell. With the I900 the Now screen is perfect for me (aside from the fact that it is slightly ugly). It shows time, weather, phone info, callender, missed calls, text voicemail.M I have tried a dozen skins, and while there are some really beautiful ones out there, none of them have quite the practicality of the default skin. The MRU is perfectly sized with two line, and the 6 menus on the launcher are just enough. I only need one contacts page, and it is handy to have an exit button. The MRU + PIN + move launcher is a simple but brilliant idea. I wish that they had the same functionality for contacts.
Guest jasonrabbit Posted September 13, 2008 Report Posted September 13, 2008 (edited) hi to use throttle you need to install these 3 files you can find the on XDA flash 7 for pda install this 1st then 2 other files Touchflo3d and throttlelauncher both of these files come in 1 zip flolder up zip install both cab on device thats it on other install required you just need to set up to your prefs on skins on shells look on this site http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416278 for some more setting and home screen changes its in second post tips ticks and tweaks CAN I THANKS ALL AT XDA FOR THERE HARD WORK AND MANY THANKS TO Laurentius26 hope this helps Edited September 13, 2008 by jasonrabbit

Guest Omnia_1 Posted September 13, 2008 Report Posted September 13, 2008 (edited) ThrottleLauncher is really a great app, totally user friendly, however, just lately I tried SPB Shell and I must say that it absolutely rocks! finger scrolling everywhere including gestures and animation through the tabs.

HI, this skin is not spb related it is a throttlelauncher skin.
Guest psionandy Posted September 13, 2008 Report Posted September 13, 2008 HI, this skin is not spb related it is a throttlelauncher skin. I don't think it is!!! I think its a skin for SPB Mobile shell and you can find it in the thread below http://www.modaco.com/content/i900-omnia-h...b-mobile-shell/
Guest needacloud Posted September 13, 2008 Report Posted September 13, 2008 I don't think it is!!! I think its a skin for SPB Mobile shell and you can find it in the thread below http://www.modaco.com/content/i900-omnia-h...b-mobile-shell/ yes your are right, sorry my mistake... but there is a similiare skin for throttle.
Guest mediavue Posted September 14, 2008 Report Posted September 14, 2008 have you also tried ifonz? shells i have tried so far: ifonz, spb mobile shell and winterface. so far winterface is my favorite. spb is also nice but i miss the possibility to have my every day apps on the first site. maybe i didn't find the right settings so far. would be nice to skin winterface Yeah.. I have tried ifonz, spb mobile shell, throttle launcher, ultimate launcher, Touch Flo Cube, Todaylife, pointui.... but none of them do what I want them to do.... So far Winterface is my top choice as the animation is so smooth and the icons look good, plus the contacts look good with one touch and choose to dial / sms etc... Also it shows battery, calendar, email, sms etc as a Iphone does. However, when you put the PDA into standby, then turn it on again - it reverts to the winterface screen all the time... not that usefule if you were using opera and it goes off after 30 secs then you switch back on and you have gone back to winterface... Also at present it is not skinable... I want better icons for it.... Also I would like it to show the windows task bar at the top.... at the moment it covers the whole screen... For me ultimate launcher isnt as smooth animation as winterface... and you locked down to Today plug ins.... I just want a app that will do all that for you...

Have you really tried SPB Shell with these skins? I only ask because I just tried this Winterface app and for me it sucks hard! Also I am beta tester for ThrottleLauncher and it also is way better, no offence its just my personal opinion.

Guest mediavue Posted September 15, 2008 Report Posted September 15, 2008 What do you want it to do? Glad you asked! ;) I want it to scroll smoothly like Winterface. I want it to scroll left and right to different pages.... up (like Cube) and down also ..so it you have the following layout... O OOO O The centre "O" is the main page... also going from left to right should loop.. instead of a dead end. Would be cool to add more pages too. The scroll UP page should be for going to contacts (for eg) and the scroll down page should be for going to last program open (for eg). On the shortcuts on the page I want to be able to put shortcuts to all files.. folders... programs... settings.. I want to be able to display on the central page up coming appointments (keep small so buttons can fit). When you switch off the screen it goes back to the last open prog. All pages should show battery, signal, notifications. I have tried SPmobile shell and it is not customizable enough. Maybe I am just too demanding. Or maybe I am pushing the minds of technology to new boundries!! Check out this... it looks promising... I wonder how long to release... ?
Guest mediavue Posted September 15, 2008 Report Posted September 15, 2008 I just seen how it has put my layout... it took out the spaces..... doh! Basically the layout is diamond shaped.... move the top and bottom "O" to the middle.....
Guest phillipxenxciel Posted September 16, 2008 Report Posted September 16, 2008 lol~~the hell with the choosing~~ i end up having winterface and spdshell at the same time~~luckily no conflict
