Talking Who needs an i***** has posted an ALPHA test

http://www.whoneedsaniphone.com/rele...er_Alpha_1.zip

If you have a PC with ActiveSync
Download FUILauncher_Alpha_1.zip (All files a ZIP file)

Uncompress this ZIP file to a temporary directory on your PC, and you will find the following:

FUIServer.EXE - The http server .NET application that handles interfacing with the device
Launcher.SWF - The primary SWF file for the launcher
IconConfig.EXE - The icon configuration helper application
settings.xml - An XML configuration file that stores user settings, icon configuration, etc
WALLPAPER - A folder containing a number of .PNG wallpaper files
LAUNCHERICONS - A folder containing a number of 60x60 pixel .PNG icons for the launcher
license.txt - Just some legal stuff so other people can't claim ownership of the app

Cradle/Connect your device and click on "Explore" from the ActiveSync window. Navigate to the location you wish to install the interface and create a directory for it (I would suggest \Storage Card\FUI or \Program Files\FUI) (You can get out of the My Documents folder by double clicking on the "My Windows Mobile-Based Device).

Copy all of the files from the ZIP distribution file to you newly created directory. You should end up with a structure that looks like :

\Storage Card\FUI
\Storage Card\FUI\Wallpaper
\Storage Card\FUI\LauncherIcons

(Note, if you are tight on space, just leave out some of the wallpaper files... The default wallpaper is "sunsetclouds.jpg" so that file at least should be there.

In order to start the interface, on your device click on the Start menu and select File Explorer. Navigate to your install directory and click on "FUIServer.EXE". This will launch the server and automatically launch the LAUNCHER.SWF file.

The forum indicates a need to register to download the file.
Also two other files are needed....
o The Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 2.0 SP1 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
o Adobe Flash Lite 2.1 Player http://www.adobe.com/devnet/devices/...ab:downloads=1

Will test and let you know what I think. Some reports on the forum indicate stablility issues (like any new software). Post your findings when you get a chance.
