I really Hope a QVGA version is or may be in development.
[General Topics] schaps:
TouchXperience is not a simple manila hack but a whole user interface developed myself from scratch. So it works with or without HTC Sense.
[General Topics] schaps:
Yes, all the people who donated in the past are allowed to participate, but if there are other people who want to be involved in the project, they can as well make a donation and ask to take part in beta testing.
[General Topics] conyeje2:
WOW!

Now that your TouchXperience UI is out, I'm battling myself over waiting for a phone with Windows Mobile 7 installed, or getting an HD2 right now and using your UI. I'm really hoping that Windows Mobile 7 is compatible with a lot of the old applications, so that your UI can work on it as well. Otherwise, I might have to wish WinMo7 better luck in 2012 and use your UI on an HD2 till then! You are a prodigy among mobile developers!
[General Topics] chizzwhizz:
This looks incredible! I hope if Windows mobile 7 doesnt live up to its hype someone shows your demo video at the conference...thatd make microsoft sweat. well...your UI is gonna be the first thing i donate to.

Congratulations and from what I can see, JOB WELL DONE.
[General Topics] domineus:
its not really out yet it will be out in beta

so far schaps has stayed true to all of his projected releases so far...and if that's true then there will be a copy for beta testers this month or next month (probably next month it would be nice if it was this month)

I am glad to see great progress and one thing I was worried about was the fact that the device was demoed on the htc hd2. Seeing that schaps comments that it will run on a diamond and it is not mutually exlusive to the htc sense gives me some relief.

As far as development, will the beta be customizable? The features of the menu can make for a good meizu m8 themed rom especially seeing music player integration on main screen and the revamped file menu systems. Sufficed to say I am happy to see this take off soon

I'll read the thread a bit LOL
[General Topics] stevenrokz:
Well,the screen shots are simply amazing and very impressive, indicated features have everything one can think of. You have done a marvelous job. Let it be out in March
[General Topics] Badwolve1:
Awsome!!!

I NEED this on my Rhodium, iPAQ, Diamond and everything else that runs Winmo!!!

Happy to BETA test this on my Rhodium (When it arrives on thursday:p) and Diamond to test VGA compatibility

Looking Forward to this

[General Topics] ceesheim:
I don't hope I upset you , I really didn' think it could be a simple manila hack.

but this means that the win dir can be clean (I mean no million files drop't in it )

and that will make it fast or am I seeing this wrong ?
[General Topics] addicus:
I am so happy you are getting close to achieving your goal. I remember when I had my Wizard and you introduced this for the Hermes and I knew I had to step up. I was so excited. Now every time I use my SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 I think how much they must have copied from that first draft of yours.

I am hoping this could be for machines like the Hermes but either way thanks for returning and congrats for fighting the good fight. Hip hip hooray.
[General Topics] schaps:
Don't worry, yes you don't need those million files to use TouchXperience. It should even work on non-HTC devices.
[General Topics] sheennick123456:
according to the video i think the device in video is HD2 = snapdragon processor

so should we expect similar performance on MSM processor like diamond and touch pro etc

or is it optimized only for HD2 and will lag a bit on MSM devices
[General Topics] schaps:
Yes you can expect similar performance on lower specs devices, as I said earlier I've tested on Diamond and it's surprisingly smooth (more than TouchFLO 3D) despite it have not been optimized for this device.
[General Topics] ceesheim:
how big is your UI in MB's ? .

you were talking of 3d optimized , did you make your own driver (like neo2007 )?
[General Topics] schaps:
It's roughly 5MB for code and 5MB for graphics (these are optional, you can use your own) and cache.

No I don't touch anything in drivers or OS.
[General Topics] schaps:
For those who asked, yes I will port TouchXperience to WM7 if Microsoft allow me to do it. That's my big worry since I heard those rumors, I've spent a lot of time to make TouchXperience UI portable...

I'm sure they will show us great things for the future Windows Phone (they have to... they delayed WM7 much longer than TouchXperience and they have thousands of developers working on it!) but I'm sure TouchXperience could add a significant value whatever they implemented in their new OS.

Think twice before investing in a new device, I gave you the proof that our good old phones are able to handle such an advanced user interface, and TouchXperience will continue to progress (as long as I have supporters ;)). So I hope TouchXperience will continue to compete with other UIs in a couple of years...

Please could you help me to set a list of the devices supposed to be compatible with TouchXperience according to the minimum requirements I specified above (WM6.x, OpenGL ES 1.1 hardware support & high DPI display), so I could have an idea about how many devices I will have to work on. I suppose most of smartphones released those last two years (excluding low cost models) may be compatible:

HTC HD2

HTC Touch Diamond

HTC Touch Diamond2

HTC Touch Pro

HTC Touch Pro2

HTC Touch HD

HTC Imagio

HTC Pure

HTC Tilt 2

Samsung Omnia

Samsung Omnia II

SE Xperia X1

SE Xperia X2

Toshiba TG01

Acer NewTouch S200

Help me to complete the list...
[General Topics] sheennick123456:
you may add Toshiba tg01 to the list
[General Topics] jagan2:
Oh no schaps its only for devices capable of running touch flo 3d plus high dpi. Hmm too bad i have got a qvga device (htc opal) with touch flo.

And many do have devices with similar configurations.

Schaps now that it is confirmed that our low end devices cant run you touch xperience i request you behalf of all other low end device members could you make a light version of you ui?

Just a replacement of touch flo and titanium, a interface where no need of 3d acceleration but you can add animation like spb mobile while switching panels.

Your touch xperience is amazing for going to the previous panel i just have to slide wow.... awesome.

Btw you have mentioned that you new applications are also coming so we cant use your ui atleast app :) can you tell the functions of your upcoming apps? :D
[General Topics] gaiden0000:

[General Topics] jackxlj:
feel bad but....

im with them,ive never heard of your interface before,but after having watching the video me and wife want it,we have four winmo phones between us and our kids,touchpro2,hd2, and two pure's. i would donate to have that ui on my phone,just tell me how much per phone,whole family thinks its awsome, and its hard to impress teenagers with youtube, but your ui did it

[General Topics] domineus:
thread read

and welcome back schaps =) you've been long awaited for a return to xda developers

can't wait for the beta testing to begin

biggest question though

cab file or rom? If a rom, will there be some love for cdma users (touch diamond/pro/imagio [topaz]/rhodium/w)

its amazing to see the project unfold so well its been a looong almost 2 years LOL but it really seems quite applicable. I can't wait to see the future thereof.

in fact, what are your future plans once the alpha is released and bugs are fixed? How far is this project going to go?
[General Topics] schaps:
I will not deny the aim of the last video demo was to impress with some cool graphic effects that geeks will love, but TouchXperience has also been designed for professional usage (whereas other commercial UIs are quite limited). I didn't insist on this point so I wanted to let you know it, and if you have any idea regarding professional usage don't hesitate!
[General Topics] dare2know:
the looks are killing and too sexcy to resist..

hopefully its going to work on QVGA devices ..i got an old ELFIN 6.5.X build..nothing new buddy..

but its quite impressive and striking ...

MAY YOUr Wishes come true to make irresistible UI for WM
[General Topics] schaps:
Hi,

TouchXperience will be available as a CAB install, to be portable on as many devices as possible.

For the future of TouchXperience, if it's a success I plan to add a lot of new functionalities for personal and professional usages. I started to work on many interesting ideas, for example to make your phone part of home entertainment (communication with DLNA devices to stream your medias, or integration with Windows technologies: Media Center, Sideshow, Home Server,...). I only hope Microsoft will not kill my dreams by announcing a restricted and closed operating system for WM7. :confused: Otherwise I will try to make WM6 + TouchXperience a serious alternative to WM7! A port to Android is not impossible, but at the moment I don't have the motivation and knowledge to do it.
[General Topics] Timothye:

[General Topics] andes83:
This is great I imagine it will be like SPB Mobile Shell but better or maybe I'm wrong but what the hell it looks great and it seems to perform great also can't wait for release to test.Windows mobile is far from dead and this is proof enough thumbs up for this.
[General Topics] Uppy:
:D someone had to find me funny me one day...SUCCESS!

I can donate on tuesday :P (Payday woo!)

[General Topics] osirisHTC:
TouchXperience UI does look interesting.

But the website needs some thought.

http://www.touchxperience.com/

- looks like a joomla site.

Ideas: vBulletin as forums, vaultwiki as wiki, jfusion to integrate joomla with vB (userbase, single sign on).

or another option would be:

phpBB3 forum, either dokuwiki as wiki or wait for integrated mediawiki (coming in Jfusion 2.0), and jfusion to integrate joomla.

I would strongly suggest a good wiki. Forums are useless much of the time.

vaultwiki is a great wiki/forum combo. New wiki posts show up on the "new posts" in the forums providing a more active wiki (as you know the problem with wikis is low user participation). The key with vaultwiki is it uses the same vBulletin editor ... so people are more likely to participate.

I'd love to donate and in turn beta test but I fear my trusty old elf isn't upto the task, can you confirm if my elf would support your interface?
[General Topics] ziupo:
To make the program was available to install on WM7 must be in their Marketplace. You must read the rules in this store. Also, if you decide to create a version of the WM7 dl, will you wait for the rewriting of the entire program of thigh foundations for a new WinCE 7 What changes have been introduced in the new WinCE do not know, I could see no sdk or api so I'm not able to help. You asked for suggestions for improvement, and therefore I propose to work on the calendar and a good notebook [more extensive than the standard].

The second proposal is an application to the voice calls - maybe something new?

A third of my proposal is a consolidation of the HD players, the so-called media streamers. An example might be Xtreamer or WDTV Live.
[General Topics] Gosseyn:
Euh... I think touchxperience cannot be possible on WM 7. Microsoft wants to unify the interfaces and it won't be possible to have another one.

WM7 is a really disappointement for developpers

Not to be negative but that Windows 7 looks awesome. I will say that having your TouchXperience on a non compatible phone would be the best thing any of us could ask for.
[General Topics] redmanmark86:
if you ask me it looks rubbish and nowhere near as good as this... also its locked down and restrictive so wouldn't even allow an app like this and all apps will need to be on phone memory like apple/android so im gonna stick with 6.5.5 for as long as these guys can keep it going and if i get a new phone with win 7 next year i do hope these guys know a way to downgrade it, i do not want a lock down restrictie fone with no flash...

freedom all the way

p.s. plus i find windows 6.5 upwards perfectly fine anyway...
[General Topics] addicus:
Not to take this off subject but Ballmer said Version 1 wasn't flash compatible but they had no objection with flash being compatible. Basically Adobe can make it work and they will work with it. Beyond that I thought it looked tits and had great new features and isn't as locked down as some may feel. Anyways my post was to say that many of us won't be getting the UI because and TouchXperience is going to be the best alternative on the market.
[General Topics] harmen88:
looks nice!!
[General Topics] schaps:
Yes, as many of you I'm really disappointed by Windows Phone 7, MS take a step backward, they totally forgot Windows Mobile community and market. The biggest interest of Windows Mobile was its flexibility, its highly customizable system and the large availability of applications. They already made fun of developers with Marketplace but this is even worse, what's more they did not care of backward compatibility... I don't understand why MS don't call it Zune Phone because that's what it really is, it has nothing to do with Windows Phone like we knew it! I have to admit their Zune interface is original, there are some nices ideas (and cool transitions), but I personally don't like it so much (flat 2-color buttons, big truncated words, no backgrounds, general layout is a waste of space for a WVGA screen...) and customization is almost inexistant.

But if I'm not mistaken, Windows Phone 6.6 will coexist with 7 series, so I will make (WP6.x + TouchXperience) a serious alternative to WP7, and do the job that MS has never done (f.e. integration with Windows Media Center, Windows Sideshow, Windows Home Server, DLNA,...). I hope many of you will follow me...

And I'm open to any discussion regarding UIs... :)

I am sorry that your old Elf does not meet the requirements for TouchXperience (not high DPI, neither OpenGL hardware support I suppose).

A future version for low cost/old WM devices is not impossible if there is a big demand, but at the moment I'm too busy to make another version of TouchXperience.

Anyway, MS would not call this OS "Windows Mobile 7", it looks like a "Windows Mobile Media". And I don't think WM7 will pawn Symbian or new Brada OS.

What a previous poster said about viruses may hold some truth. Occaisionally, when I visit your site I get intrusive adverts served by clicksor - some of them may be dodgy?

Anyway, I am very very impressed with your demo video. Good news as I saw the windows 7 blurb today and it sounds ****. Seems like you have outdone what it sems that MS was incapable of themselves.

I wish you all the success in the world - I could certainly see operators being interested in bundling this with their phones, or even maybe manufacturers such as HTC. I will certainly be purchasing it upon release...

I wonder if there will be a QVGA version, low end, to the LG KS20.
[General Topics] andes83:
I didn't see quite clear from the demo but is the central Windows logo "alive" in other words is it a button of some kind ?Cause it'd be great if it's a shortcut for start menu or some other action.Also the demo is on a HD2 device if I'm not mistaken would lower end devices (Touch HD,Pro 2,Diamond 2) suffer from lag cause they don't have 1ghz processor?...TouchFlo3D maybe pretty but is quite a bother just because of the slowness I really hope TouchXpierence will speed things up for WinMo.
[General Topics] redmanmark86:
Well i'm not sure how alive that particular background is but he clearly shows on other backgrounds that they can be interactive so i'm sure someone could easily create a background that does do that...

Also i do not believe processor matters much as he stated it uses less ram and file size than minalla itself and won't create extra battery drain plus it all uses 3D acceleration so its usingthat for the graphic and im pretty much sure they all have the same basic graphics processor (though i can't confirm that) but all the devices he listed a few pages back are Open 1.1 cmpatiable including all the phones you mentioned so i would say it will be fine...

P.S. your notice in the video he shows his informations creen that tells you its an AMD graphics processor and the model, even manilla doesn't do that...
[General Topics] conyeje2:
Win Win?

I don't care what device I get in the future. If I have to crack it, dual boot it, bribe someone, or sell my laptop to get your rom running on it, I'm gonna do it. WP7 is nice and all, but your TouchXperience takes the culmination of all of our windows mobile experiences to the next level, not ending the game and starting on a whole new playing field like Microsoft chose, and your experience is an experience that I want to be a part of. I'm definitely using your rom even after WM7 releases!
[General Topics] 14andrewh:
Hey schaps, great to hear from you. :D I have to admire your persistence and cannot wait to try the Xperience out! Your ROMS have always been a pleasure to use.
