Uhm.... I'm afraid I don't know any dialer replacement for the i900... back when I was using it, the only mod I applied to it is exactly what you want to preserve: I patched the dialer to disable the autolock :p Being a resistive touchscreen, I never found myself ending a call by mistake 'cause I just didn't press it much against my ear/face :) On the other hand, the autolock was a pain in the a.. while recharging my prepaid simcard, 'cause it was easily locking between a menu choice and the other or even while typing the recharge code.

About the widget: unfortunately that can't be done... you can't "create" new widgets, as in new functionalities, for mobile shell... you can only create skins for existing ones :(

Yep, it's a bit cold, but as long as the wind is not too strong it's not bad. :)

You like soccer? I'm not that much of a soccer fan, the only soccer matches I watch (and not even all of them) are during the world cup, just out of curiosity, but other than that I don't really like it much (sounds strange said by an italian, I know lol) :p
[Windows Mobile Themes] bfarkin:
Just wanted to say "grazie mille" to Vostradamus for this fantastic tool! A while ago I "inherited" an i900 from a friend, and while I like the Omnia a lot, the online widgets and Samsung Today aren't very good. I always liked the today plugin on the OmniaPro, but that doesn't run on the i900 (people have tried and failed to port it). So I decided to recreate it using the MsM. Below is the result. Together with all the ported and black-skinned apps from the OmniaLite I could really transform the i900 into a faux OmniaPro (OmniaPraux?)

PS: Abyssinian Kenia (see below) tells me to send you a tin of chicken when I get my next payslip.

PPS: In case somebody wonders, HumanSpace is my company.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
You're very welcome! ;)

I've had the i900 myself for a while: GREAT phone! :)

... and say "meow" (which of course means "hi") to your cat for me lol :p :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] bfarkin:
Yes indeed, I think I'll be hanging on to the Omnia for as long as I can, now that I'm so happy with its configuration.

And I said 'miauw" to Kenia from you, she speaks Dutch..... ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
lol then teach her some Italian with "miao" :D

[Windows Mobile Themes] masrterk:
Nice theme

Please make a new Theme based on HTC Sense 4.0 and android 4 For my old WM6.x

thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] bfarkin:
That worked... and I have a plaster on my finger to prove it! :D

I saw in your Picasa folder that you do Android graphics as well. Is that for SPB MS 3D? Can that be skinned at all?

Trying to make up my mind whether to get an Android device after all, although I still very much like the i900. Now I'm playing around with skinning Today 2...

May the force be with you!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
At the moment I'm afraid I don't have enough free time to develop something like that, but I'll keep the request in mind if I'll manage to in future ;)

lol my Phoebe usually prefers to "plaster" me on my legs: she's often too lazy to jump from the floor directly on the desk, so she just uses my legs as a springboard, which during summer (when I'm wearing shorts) results in me looking like I've had a wrestling match against Freddy Krueger :D

Well, to be honest I think spb ms 3d on android is kinda one of the most useless (and overpriced) apps around :p

The "strenght" of mobile shell on winmo was its ability to provide a widgets-driven shell to the phone...

Android launchers have that natively... all the "cool 3d effects" of spb ms 3d is just fairly pointless, battery hungry, not-really-useful eye-candy (of course it's a matter of personal preferences... I used to disable 3d carousel on winmo too for example lol)

On android there's a fair number of much less expensive (some even free) other launchers which I like much more than ms 3d.... and if someone reeeeeally can't live without 3d, well... there can be free ones of that kind too... :)

(and when I say "free" I mean "legally free" of course) :)

The graphic stuff I've made for android are all widgets for two of the most used widgets-sets: fancy widgets and beautiful widgets. Both of them are very cheap and well made :)

As much as I liked (and actually still like) winmo up to version 6.5x, I think you should: unfortunately those version of winmo are destined to slowly disappear, replaced by that abomination called windows phone 7 (I don't really like it much, can you tell? lol) :D

I guess as long as your i900 can do what you need it to do, you can happily stick to it... when the time will come to upgrade it, you should definitely switch to android ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Edvin73:
I agree.

"Da un gattaro al altro come dicono a Roma, sono d'accordo."

I'm still a winMo user and I used to have an Omnia 900i.Now I have a Blackstone with 6.5.x and it's a good phone for me but no one makes nothing for winmo anymore.The development is over and slowly dying.With Omnia I used SPB MS and was fantastic and very useful with yours,Skippens and Docs skins.But from the 3D on is just a non useful eye candy.Sense 2.5 is already good enough for me.

And now with Android phones, I bought my girl one, is just skinning because Android itself is almost perfect.

Tanti saluti da Slovenia circa 20 km da Trieste.E un grande miao da i miei due amici a quattro zampe.:D:D:p
[Windows Mobile Themes] bfarkin:
Yup, sometimes I wonder why we do this to ourselves :o

I don't really need/want 3D. What I'm looking for is the ability to design my own widgets in a more information-centric manner. Something like SlideScreen or SlideHome. Or maybe this: PTPT.

I agree with you on WP7 - It's not for me. But to my surprise I recently discovered that there is a live and thriving WM development community, with new devices still coming out. Only it's called Windows Embedded now. Originally these devices where rugged single-purpose data collecting devices, but more recently a new class has appeared. Business-oriented pocketable do-it-all smartphones. They may well invade the niche of the Blackberry.

I still don't see Android as an alternative for work (and a little play...), but maybe you can convince me otherwise. Maybe I should just skip WP7 and wait for W8 on both the tablet and smartphone.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
I guess next time you'll upgrade your phone you'll jump ships to android then :p

A huge meow to your fluffy friends too! ;)

I'm not really familiar with the example you mentioned, but I'm fairly sure you should be able to find what you need on android: so far there's not a single thing that came to my mind to even try that I haven't been able to find somewhere :)

That's a nice piece of info, thanks for sharing... I had no idea about it, and I'm glad to see that the "real" winmo isn't completely dead and forgotten!

Well, what can I say...

a device "for work" can be different according to the kind of work you're gonna need it for...

- If your work is mostly using tons of emails and little else, the best one is still the Blackberry.

For anything else than email, BB is already a no-go (at least to my taste)

- As much as I loathe it, if you need something 100% usable out-of-the-box and terribly easy, then you could consider an iphone (giving up on customizability though)

- If you're ok with tweaking, learning, heavily customizing, then android is the one for you.
[Windows Mobile Themes] bfarkin:
Here are some current devices:

http://www.windowsfordevices.com/c/a/News/Getac-MH125/

http://www.windowsfordevices.com/c/a/News/Psion-Omnii-EP10/

http://www.windowsfordevices.com/c/a/News/Sprint-Motorola-ES400S/

OK, they ain't cheap, and except for the Motorola you can't get them on a carrier payment plan, but they are good alternatives to the Blackberry for some.

These run either good old WM 6..5 or Windows Embedded 6.5 (basically the same thing). There is also Windows Embedded 7, which uses Silverlight for GUI development:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsembedded/en-us/evaluate/windows-embedded-compact-7.aspx

I agree. That's why I can't imagine having an IPhone or a WP7 device. I've tried out iOS 4 extensively (my wife has an iphone), and it was hate at first sight (for the Iphone, not for my wife...) Same goes for WP7.

So I'll take good care of the i900, and thanks to people like you I'll continue customising it until I get an Android device (with 5.0, which I propose to be called Gianduiotti....). Or maybe WE8 :cool:
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
Not really my kind of phone, but still I'm glad it hasn't been completely abandoned :)

LMAO @ gianduiotti :D That would have actually been a very nice name, but you're a lil bit late in suggesting it: they're already way past the "G", next one's gonna start with a J :p

mmmh..... "janduiotti"? mmmh.... nah, doesn't really sound correct ahahah :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] bfarkin:
We'll just have to wait for Panettone then... ;)

lol if they keep going like this it won't take long :p
[Windows Mobile Themes] St Sinned:
First of all, I would like to congaratulate you for a very well done job on Vostradamus...I saw a link, he used it in Aspen SE, Sony Ericsson Aspen : TRON Theme, how he did that? Can Vostradamus change the start menu icons? How? Could you please teach me step by step? I am dying to see my Aspen look like that...please? Thanks...and more power...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
Mmmh... must admit I'm not really sure I'm getting 100% of what you wrote... :p

tron theme: not sure what theme you're referring to... I've never made any "tron" theme, unless you consider some neon stuff as tron-like just because it's neon :p If you saw someone with tron-specific stuff I guess you could try and ask him where he got that stuff ;)

start menu icons: nope, MsM (Mobile Shell Manager, that's the name of the app... "Vostradamus" is just my nickname) can't change start menu icons, it's just designed to enhance spb mobile shell with tons of stuff, but the start menu is not part of spb mobile shell.

It can, however, "skin" the icons you place on your homescreens (still in spb mobile shell, that is)
[Windows Mobile Themes] St Sinned:
Sorry for that...just got too excited. Cant post the link unless I already have 8 posts. Actually, he lead me to this very nice application. I will quote what he said to his post regarding MsM:

"I'm using SPB mobile shell 3.5.1 original build in sony ericsson Aspen / M1i. Thanks to vostradamus mobile shell, with neon theme widget for homescreen and iphone tron icon set for the application and start menu icon. Use dark transparency widget batery indicator. For thread SMS, i'm using VITO chatSMS 1.25 with default skin. Use your own creativity to design it!"

Anyway, I will try to experiment your MsM. Thanks a lot for your fast response.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
You're welcome! ;)

From what he wrote, it seems that he's put together a few different stuff to make the whole thing.

- he used my MsM for his homescreens on spb mobile shell, mostly using my neon widgets (exactly the ones I thought: they're the only ones that can look tron-like) :)

- then he found some tron icon set and I guess he somehow replaced standard application icons with those ones. That's not something that can be done with spb mobile shell or my MsM, so I guess you could ask him what he used and where he got the icons

- lastly, he's using this "Vito chatsms" which I don't know, but looks like it's skinnable, so again there must be a way to make it look tron-style

My advice: ask him if he can share his tron icons and then just try playing around with all of the above and see what you can come up with ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Plonkplonk:
Hi!

I've been playing around with Vostradamus's shell manager again in the last days. I thought it would be a good idea, to have a "home" button in the menu bars of the professional panels so I change them, using "SPB style" (cause I like the icons).

Unfortunately the icon for "lifestyle home" in the menu bar is the same as for "rotate screen" in the mobile shell. I'd rather have a little house or something, to avoid confusion. Is there a way to change this?

Regards,

Thomas
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
You need to edit the file named "AdvMenuBarChange.mscr" which is located inside the "tools" subfolder where MsM is installed

Find this line:

Icons[17]=' <Int Name="GlobalIcon" Value="126"/>'

and change that 126 with the id of the desired icon.

To pick the right number, you can use spb menu editor (attached to the first post).

- Run the program on the phone,

- Select a random entry (does not matter which one 'cause you won't save any changes)

- Tap on "menu"

- Select "add" -> "menu"

- Tap on "change"

- You'll be presented with the list of spb internal icons. The first one should be id 100, the others just increasing numbers... pick the one you want and find out its id

- Once you have your id, cancel everything and exit the program

After updating the script with the new icon id, just re-run MsM and re-define your menubar. ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Plonkplonk:

is it possible to uninstal the items you installed in reverse order? i would try to get the phone back to a state where it was functional. maybe it would be easier to do a hard reset and start over again.
[Nexus One General] samac92:
After seeing stock 2.2 android on a nexus one I was blown away, HTC really have ruined android with their "sense UI".

They removed all the app transitions, and the 3d app drawer, and skinned the default apps with a hideous green and black scheme.

Also they have gone to extraordinary lengths to prevent rooting - rooting is possible but a large number of people are bricking their desires, which is hampering development.

So, I'm thinking of switching to a Nexus One. A couple of questions:

What's the best way to get the Nexus One sim free in the UK? I have looked around for answers but those are old threads, with the exchange rates changing there may be a better way of getting one now.

And how are the touch sensitive buttons? From what I have heard they can be unresponsive at times.

Thanks
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Best way is still www.google.com/phone as far as I am aware.

As for the capacitive buttons, they're not unresponsive, just you need to press near the top of the graphic rather than bang in the middle. You get used to it pretty quick.
[Nexus One General] Karolis:
I did just that! I mean switching from Desire to N1 in the UK.

I got my HTC Desire with 20 quid a month plan from T-Mobile. I sold it for 350 in a month and got a brand new Nexus One for 420 from eBay. It was still sealed and all.

If you order it from Google, it will end up costing you about 450 with all taxes + you'll have to wait longer.
[Nexus One General] samac92:
I assume you got your from there then? How much did it end up as overall?

I understand it's around £450 including tax and shipping
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Total including shipping and VAT, but without the massively expensive charger came to £412.

Then I went to ASDA and bought an 80p shaver plug that I use with the supplied US charger.
[Nexus One General] liam.lah:
I am not too familiar, but i think it may be possible to remove sense UI from the desire, so it would essentially be a slightly modified nexus one, minus the ability to root easily, or easy access to froyo. Not for everyone though.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
You can't remove it, but you can install Launcher2 and use that instead.
[Nexus One General] LevitateJay:
Pretty sure you can disable Sense UI.... Its in options somewhere, search for it.
[Nexus One General] r2001uk:
AVForums have a great and healthy classifieds area - I actually bought my N1 from there a week or two after it launched (the guy I bought from goes through phones like crazy!) - practically brand new, already rooted and cost me less than £400 - no shipping headaches or looming customs threats :)

Not sure if there are any N1s for sale right now, but it can't hurt to head on over and check!
[Nexus One General] samac92:
That sounds great, I am always wary of buying of ebay though. Are you missing anything moving from the Desire?

Not as expensive as I thought, did you get an invoice at a later date for tax?

You can't sadly. On older phones you could turn off the sense home screens, but not on the Desire. I use a different launcher but that doesn't solve the other problems I mentioned.

Thanks for that, I'll check it out!
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Yeah the VAT invoice that bumped it up to £412 came 2/3 weeks later. Still, spread the cost a little I guess.
[Nexus One General] din0_22:
Try installing "Homeswitcher" first, this is a tool to switch Launchers.

and then install "LauncherPro" or "HelixLauncher2" then configure your Home switcher whether your default launcher should be HTC Sense or "any other launcher".

I prefer Helixlauncher2, as it is very close to the original Android launcher from N1.
[Nexus One General] samac92:
Yeah I do use launcher pro, but as I was saying this doesn't solve the other issues.

I prefer launcher pro to Helix as Helix doesn't have the fade in/out of apps which I like
[Nexus One General] Karolis:
I liked text selection implementation on Desire better and also date/time inputs. That's all I miss about it. Now a big fan of Sense UI :)

Regarding buying on eBay, there's almost always buyer protection for expensive items, so basically the money is held by PayPal for a certain period of time and it's really easy to return the item if there are any problems with it.

There were no problems with mine whatsoever.

Just make sure the buyer has over 100 ratings and that his overall percentage is really high (98-100%) and that no one complained about the same item before.
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
Make sure you get the "T-Mobile" versions, since it has both 900 and 2100 3G banding, where as the AT&T only has the 2100 for you guys on the otherside of the pond. Granted, 2100 is more popular over there, but some do run on 900, especially in Asia.
[Nexus One General] bmj1086:
The capacitive buttons are kind of unresponsive at times and I do prefer the physical buttons over them. Also it's pretty irritating when I'm playing Pacman, using the scroll ball, and my finger slightly touches the home/menu button and ruins my game. I wouldn't say it's a deal breaker in any way but the physical buttons are a lot better IMO.
[Nexus One General] jmbrown32:
You may want to check out the buy/sell/trade forums at howardforums as well. When I was looking for an N1, I saw quite a few go up for sale at decent prices there.

Also, regarding the touch sensitive buttons at the bottom, as another member said, you just have to press towards the top of the button to get them to work. It took me about an hour to get used to pressing them and now I never have problems with them.
[Nexus One General] samac92:
thanks for all your replies guys.

i'm still debating whether to do it or not - the price difference between selling my desire and buying the n1 could be over £100

but if i end up bricking my desire than thats a bigger loss
[Nexus One General] lordvikon:
the earlier versions of the nexus one the touch buttons weren't really responsive but they have long since fixed that error if you want a nexus one sim free in the us go to google.com/phone and order it from there. its funny that ur thinking about switching to a nexus one cuz i wanted to test out the desire before froyo. still thinking of getting one to see how it runs. i have some questions for you regarding the desire. how would i get one sim free here in the usa
