Guest GodsGift Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 wow thats really helpfull!! lol there are lots of replacements to SPB3 pointui seems to be the best specially with Oceans skins. Some people swear by M2D although I'm not too keen. I am waiting for SPB's next release of Mobile Shell (3.5?) which should introduce some cool stuff.

Guest Nicklashidegard Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Personally i'm a great fan of M2D (very easy to use, functional and fast) and NeoTitanium (clean, sleak).. SPB 3 gives me a headache, too fiddly and gimmicky :) Just my 2 pence... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xfer85 Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Ya, i find spb3 too 'gimmicky' as well, thats why i was thinking of going with MD2 or touchflo, but aint totally sure how they would fit on omnia. I know i like what i see on HTC, but i dont expect it to come close in term of slickness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest plguzman Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 From time to time, I get bored of SPB3... I change my "Lifestyle" screen regularly, changing widgets, etc... I'm always testing any new interface that comes out (Titanium, Neo Titanium, Manila, Pointui, etc) but IMO SPB is the best. So I always go back lol. It just gives me what I want.

Guest jmsmartins Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Been using SPB 3 since it's launch, but am getting sick of it. What would you suggest and why? It depends on what you want to see in your "home". I've tried almost everything. Used m2d for a long long time, it's simple but you can see only 1 next appintment, wich i don't like much. despite that, it's great. used spb3 for some weeks to and for me it's the most functional and supports a lot of costumizations also. also tried pointui and gave up because of an issue with contacts menu. touch shell is +-. now i'm using winterface and considering moving to spb2! (yes, 2... lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest meabigbaldguy Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 I got sick of SPB 3 a long time ago because it was too gimmicky and cartoony. Then I tried M2D for a little while, liked it, and then realized that if I wanted an HTC, then I would have bought one. I've tried WAD, but don't really have the time now to invest in the theme generation. Currently, I'm using Titanium and am happy with it - for now. For me, personally, I prefer a very professional and clean looking interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xfer85 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Ya, I've to agree that SPB is too 'gimmicky and cartoony'. Im looking for a professional and sleek looking one. Any suggestions based on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest grumbly_bum Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 I was a big fan of SPB 2, and was looking forward to 3 based on the preview. But when it actually came out I found that it wasn't really that practical for me... Since then I used M2D for a little bit, then moved on to the standard Titanium in WM 6.5 with a few good add ins. However, I found M2D to be a little memory hungry, and Titanium was a little hard to get to the things I used most. I've been using WM 6.1 with PointUI Home2 using Oceans PointSense theme for a little while now, which I've been happy with - with a couple of extra plugins. It's probably a little more memory and battery hungry then SPB 3, but it's a lot more flexible (eg. shortcuts wherever you like). The only thing it's really missing is the ability to put direct shortcuts to URL's, but then you can just put a shortcut to the "quick shortcut launcher", which isn't that bad. So I'd suggest Oceans pointsense theme is worth giving a go :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ssyed Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 I have to disagree with all the negative comments regarding SPB3. Its a great UI. Its even better if you modified it. Personally I felt SPB 3 was better than m2d or any of the other UIs (such as neo, never liked it to begin with) After SPB3, I'd say hands down to point UI. its probably the best UI i've used, but again everyone has their taste. you can customize point UI to exactly wat you want, thats what I love about it. Other UIs feel restricted in that sense.

Guest DFKT Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 When you're talking professional, SPB is the only way to go. Good, extensive calender and still enough space for clock and notifications. M2D en PointUI are mainly "slick" and although very good-looking, just can't match SPB.

Guest Lunchbox77 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 well, the most stylish is the basic titanium, the htc is too bulky, and it's htc, not samsung, maybe sense ui will be better but not well integrated into systems other manufactirers, or the wm 6.5.3453465346346...it's evolving in good way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a look at it, everything seems cool and slick. Any downside using them though? Like any problems faced so far causing big distress? P.S. Since im using SPB 3 now, do i need to hard reset my Omnia before installing point UI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest meabigbaldguy Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 P.S. Since im using SPB 3 now, do i need to hard reset my Omnia before installing point UI? There's no need to hard reset if you just simply uninstall SPB3. It may take a little longer than normal to uninstall, but it will go, and then soft reset. As far as a "slick and clean" interface, I think that I'll just stick with Titanium for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried PointUI and though the PointSense theme is cool the whole interface is a bit laggy. But it has the potential. Pardon a noob question but what is Titanium and where can I download it from?

Guest snowsakura Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 (edited) My fav would be spb 3 definately.. in terms of functionality and looks Hm..PointUi is really sleek yes,..but it actually sucks up quite alot of your phone ram...about 10 mb of it ...so ..on the average , omnia has 50 plus mb ram free....that doesnt leave much for point ui.. Touch shell is another good options :) just tried its latest version..and bought it for my old o2 atom phone..There are many additons like finger friendly menus and user interface if you choose to install the full set.. M2d is nice , but i dont use it as it conflicts with spb pocket plus close button.. Titanium is the default plugin that comes with winmo 6.5 ..i am under the impression that titanium is built into the rom..but you could get it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=525267 ya need to sign up a account to download Another version of it is neotitanium Edited September 28, 2009 by snowsakura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks.. Uninstall Spb3 from Settings/System/Remove Programs. It will clean completely. I've already done this a few times with both version 2 and 3. If you are using the iMarche skins, then delete those first. Run the Original script, and then delete the entire iMarche folder from wherever it is saved. Then remove SPB.
