Well, from my limited understanding, TF3D has yet to be successfully ported to none Diamond devices. The TL's TouchFlow 3D theme has successfully mimicked it (minus several things) in looks, but I think the actual response and experience is still lacking. For example, when I tap on the tabs in the bottom of the plug in, it confuses it with the current tab im on and often scrolls the entire tab left to right. Its hard to explain, but easily noticeable.

However, I've seen in the Kaiser Rom Dev forum that a member has created a rom with it embedded in it. I'd say try it out, but knowing your standards for response and stability, I think you'll quickly revert back to PointUI, as did I.

Sidenote: not to knock the author of TL, cause I know he's poured hours upon hours into coding and implementing. It's a good app, but for my tastes it doesn't work so well.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aceracer24:
I tried throttle today. Looks nice but it seemed very slow compared to SPB Mobile Shell. SPB Mobile Shell is very responsive however, customizing it leaves something to be desired. The skins people have done for it are awesome to say the least but skinning for SPB is not very easy/friendly. Plus every new version breaks the skins and the dev's of SPB have not been very helpful in working out the problems.

I think I'm going to go with HTC Home currently. I played with a few others, but decided on HTC Home for the time being with the Wifi/Bluetooth/Phone modification using Battery Plus.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Gustopher:
Gave TL a try this evening and guess what...it lasted an hour and back to PointUI.

I would entirely agree with your sidenote - the author has done a terrific job on TL, but it's not quite there as a bug-free, stable, fully stand-alone shell.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Leeah:
Mobile Shell drains my battery

ifonz is very sluggish on my phone

Winterface freezes up

rltoday just refused to run - very slow, many crashes.

Right now, I'm not using any shell. I might try Pointui next, though, based on what ya'll are saying.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Balrog82:
I am currently with BatteryStatus and UltimateLaunch in a combination. These are (for me) by far the best. Though there are other quite promising things, I'll stay on these for a while.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JNGold:
I agree with your comments on TL. I still find it a bit laggy on even a Touch Cruise. Aside from that, I am not sold on the TF3d-type UI that the Diamond has ushered in. I still prefer the HTC Launcher type interface and the ability to have an additional plug in beneath it (ie. SBSH Pocket Breeze with Pocket Weather and PhoneWeaver as tabs within it).

That being said, I settled with HiNavigator. Overall a nice app and much more flexible than the HTC Home plugin. There are issues with the way weather automatically updates, so I turned off that functionality and just use HiNav as a app launcher. I use my cube for contact dialing.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nir36:
I use UltimateLaunch with a nice Diamond setup i made..

SPB mobile shell is very good looking but not as configurable in my eyes..

with Ultimatelaunch you can pretty much do ANYTHING you want... including putting other shells into it...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xplode:
Well i can not vote for this poll because i have not found the perfect app yet

for speed i vote for HTC Home, PointUI

for stability i vote for HTC Home - never crashed even once

for Customization i vote fo Throttle Launcher - APBilbo with a little more work it will be easily become my favorite, but for now the speed is a little low
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] g00ndu:
Best UI? Depends on what you define as best.

For looks: I vote for Throttlelauncher. A lot of people, including me initially, feels that TL is sluggish. But I changed my mind after doing some tweaking. Try to set your page animation to 1 instead of 2, and disable fade in and appear. If the fade in and appear is set, the effects of the animation wlll feel it is sluggish.

TL had incorporated a flash clock in it (thanks to Twolf and the TL author, APBilbo, and kwill who modified the clock swf file) which i uses. The seconds are animated and it does skip 1 second for every 2 second on the average.

I do have another setup using a combination of HTC Home and MortButtons. This is where functionality comes into play. MortButtons is highly customizable.

Of course, the above is my personal opinion.

Anyway, the best UI is the one which you feel it meet your needs. :D

I use battery status atm but today life is looking good so far
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] snachez:
Quick question about UltimateLaunch, not sure if it's possible. I am wanting to reassign the the standard softkeys options of "calender/notifications" & "contacts" to switch to "next" & "prev" tab headers. Basically I would like to press the bottom bar on the left or right hand side to make the cube rotate / transition.

I've had a dig around on the forum and cant find anything. Any ideas how its maybe achievable ? I'd rather use the standard bottom bar to do this, than removing it with vjtoggletoday etc.

Is there some sort of .exe call like -next_tab ?

ultimate launch & mobile shell

At the moment I use both of them Ultimate Launch & Mobile Shell:

Shell doesn't support the skins at the moment (V2.1.1) (Greatball, etc.) so i decided to look for other options.

I don't use the shell menu, but do use the spbmenu:

I can start "deep" in the menu with one touch and decided to share it with you people.

which uses the least amount of battery and memory?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chalid:
ultimate launch is definitely the best for me. i think i tried every other program listed here and i had the same problems most of the time: too much memory consumption, slow or hard to customize.

ultimate launch is the best compromise. its fast, doesnt need much memory and isnt too hard to customize - although wad2 is the best in this area.

another good thing is, that you can navigate through your ul setup using the navkeys. the softkeys functions are working as well, which is quite	convenient.

MOBILE SHELL and question about it

I've been using mobile shell since version 1 and now on v2.1.2. i've also tried BS, M2D and throttle launcher; but mobile shell is my favorite and I can't use my ppc without it... I map it to a soft key, which allows me to use its touch friendly interface with all the menus and features while still being able to access the today menu and plugins with one click.

I put MS on my device as soon as i got it, so i've never had a chance to see how it plays with memory and battery life.

Basically, I've always wondered... how much RAM and battery life does mobile shell really consume?? I've heard different things from many people, so what's the real deal? Many people complain about the RAM, but some of those people also support m2d, which completely destroys your allotment of RAM...

Someone please enlighten me on the truth, thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Vrtfrank:
What is about yrgo?

Tried it recently and seems to be very promising. Fast and stylish. Some usibility improvements needed, like getting back home faster. But i will try it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scorpion66:
Well i have spent ages trying lots of different UI and my results are below:-

SPB MOBILE SHELL - Best and fastest shell repacement with lots of skins and mods. Skins tool by MikiBest lets you mod and mix skins with ease with great results. Best of the lot! :) :D

SPB POCKET PLUS - Great icon support but for mobile phone devices its made redundant by mobile Shell

THROTTLELAUNCHER - Simple install, looks good, some apps flaky, takes a long time to load, program folder messy, no backgrounds, little customisation, can slow down and hang, contacts is hard to set up.

M2D - Looks great but way slow and so buggy its unusable and takes 45 mins + to load it all in.

iFONZ

Poor low res icons totally spoil it. Even if you fix the icons it to hard to point new icons to programs as you have to manualy type locations

RL TODAY Not bad - vanilla theme is nice with a diamond style clock and it eats little memory. If you want lots of features then be prepared to muck about a lot with it and its not user friendly

R CALENDER - Mini install only 42k

Shows date day time and calender and is fully configurable for size and all colours. Makes a great iPhone style digital clock but thats about it

HINAVIGATOR - Works well but did seem a bit buggy and need a graphics update

to compete with diamond styles

WINTERFACE - Simple and fast iphone type launcher, easy to configure.

Too simple, no icon customization or other mods and looks poor compared to Mobile Shell, no weather panel, lock is rubbish

FREESTYLE - iphone type launcher

Better looking than ifonz but its to hard to change icons or programs and it is limited in looks and speed. You need to manualy type each programs address when creating new buttons so it would take forever to customize
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ironman76:
Also i think , for me is Spb Mobile Shell very good:D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Asherizm:
I've used several of those but I voted for WAD2. The new features let you create ANYTHING you want.

I'm currently running Pocket LCARS PADD. It's a theme in the style of the computer systems from Star Trek TNG. Check out the demo video. It's the most amazing thing you'll see on WM.

Mobile Shell

Although mobile shell is winning the poll by a large margin, I think i'm beginning to realize why SOME people are claiming mobile shell is a RAM hog...

I've been using MS for a year and i've never had RAM issues, so I was like "what the hell are they talking about???" I reacted like this because MS's memory print is much smaller than all the other competing alternatives. I have a mogul, so if i load it with all the apps that I like, MS is the only UI that i can use that leaves enough RAM to keep from resetting the device multiple times a day. So again, I was like "RAM hog?"

Then i installed the fast switch skin app for MS and realized why they had this opinion. This app completely ruins MS. It looks fantastic, but defeats MS's purpose, which is to be a fast, low memory using shell that looks nice. With the skin customizer, if i reset my device, open MS once, and then leave my phone sitting for twenty minutes... it loses 5-7mb of RAM, which is ridiculous. Before i installed this for my original MS, I would only lose 1mb of ram in the same scenario after a reset. The problem seems to be the customizers refusal to release unused RAM and/or memory leaks. Thanks to this skin customizing app, my RAM dips to 14mb w/ no other program usage and into single digits territory after light program usage. Before, i'd never dip below 15mb and that's with heavy program usage.

I guess i took the original shell's interface for granted - It's time to uninstall the skin app.

That being said, MS is beautiful with the skin app's help, but it's original form still looks great while being light and quick.

So before you hate on mobile shell, please specify which version you used - original or crippled*

Sorry for this rant, but I felt compelled to do so - thanks

My 2 cents

manila2d is hands down my favorite,you just have to find the best build and you will never want to go back!!!! (mine is 14 no issues whatsoever and PPC is so fast its like if it was never installed)

SPB is my number 2 vote, even though ive never used it for more than one day

throttle, slow and laggy yet a great peice of software due to its capabilities

ifonz, good but limited

WAD..... ughhh....

Ultimate Launch, fast, lite but no so eye appealing in my book

HTC Home, simple, effective, OUTDATED

Mortbuttons, never tried it but doesnt seem too useful (just... buttons)

XIA, tried to use it once, hard as hell to set up, slow..... *pass*

Winterface, never tried it... looks like it may have potential

All the setups has its ups and downs and make the PPC empire a lot more useful so my hat is off to all the developers

Redmi Note 8 Pro Global 128gb 6gb

Here's my story,

I was using Android 10 with TWRP before and then I bricked my phone by installing some magisk module and was stuck in bootloop. I was going to re-flash A10 global fastboot rom but I accidentally installed A9 instead and thus, my phone was hard bricked. Dead screen and only led notification light is on.

Here are the steps on how to unbrick your phone. (Not 100% sure if it works but we've got nothing to lose since our phone is already hard bricked.)

1. Try to install any A9 stock rom on your phone through "flash_all.bat" inside your A9 stock rom and wait for it to finish or at least long enough when you feel like it's stuck. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cn5F12ixLB8)

You can download stock roms here (https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/begonia/)

2. Assuming you have installed most of A9 stock rom including preloader, try to flash "preloader_begonia.bin" and "lk.img" found here (https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-8-pro/how-to/guide-redmi-note-8-pro-megathread-t4056527) and follow instructions on how to flash both files.

3. Download and install MiFlash Pro (https://mega.nz/folder/xZtzjRQI#p24N5i5Xi1S_KXPGK4Hk4w)

4. (https://www.cyanogenmods.org/forums/topic/how-to-unbrick-redmi-note-8-pro/) Follow this tutorial starting from step 3 and wait for around 5 mins until "Download OK" shows up and then reboot your phone.

PS: If your having a hard time trying to detect your phone on your pc, don't connect your phone yet. Click the "download" button on SP Flashtool first and then connect your phone. Press all 3 buttons (Vol+, Vol-, Power button) until your pc detects your phone and SP Flashtool will automatically flash your device.

5. DONE!

Tell me if it works or not so that I can try to help each and every one of you. Cheers! :D

[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] djgilquirino:
That's the problem. I didn't know why I bricked my phone while flashing A9. It just didn't boot after rebooting my phone. I think as long as you flashed A9, you can proceed to flash the preloader and lk and unbrick it.
