TF3D Alternatives?
 

Having recently upgraded from a PPC-6600 running SPB Diary (etc) to a Touch Pro2, I don't care much for the TouchFlo interface -- it is pretty, but lacking in function. My old Today screen running SPB Diary displayed a week's worth of tasks, appointments, and weather, along with easy access to contacts, etc. I am wondering if there are replacements for TouchFlo that have a maximum amount of functionality combined with some level of attractiveness.

SPB Mobile Shell or The default screen for wm6.5 called "titanium"

Re: TF3D Alternatives?
 

There's also nothing stopping you from going back to SPB Diary and "old school" Today screen plugins.

Re: TF3D Alternatives?
 

+1. Sounds from the OP's description that that old Today screen might be his best choice. If it works for you, why switch?

Re: TF3D Alternatives?
 

you could always design your own using wisbar advance.. its not hard to use and is incredibly customisable

Re: TF3D Alternatives?
 

^^ i would still be doing that but the newer builds break the built in htc volume control and thats a no no for me

Re: TF3D Alternatives?
 

SPB Mobile Shell is what the thead starter is looking for.

Try that out. it has a free trial so if it's not whaty you're looking for, no harm done. But I'm positive that's what you need. You can put whatever info you want on your today screen.

Re: TF3D Alternatives?
 

SPB Diary was pretty spartan, but also quite functional. I was running a whole SPB suite of apps, but what I saw 90% of the time was actually just SPB Diary.

What frustrates me is that all the "pretty" apps aren't all that functional (waste lots of screen real estate), and all the "functional" apps aren't all that pretty. What I'd like is something clever that finds ways of showing a lot of information in a modern interface.

Re: TF3D Alternatives?
 

SPB Mobile Shell is the modern interface with a lot of information. Try it out.

Re: TF3D Alternatives?
 

Ever try Ultimatelaunch? It was a Today screen launcher that had endless custimization and tweaks. In my Mogul and early TP days, UL is what I used almost 90% of the time. Not sure if it is WVGA compativle (TP2) but might be worth checking out.

Re: TF3D Alternatives?
 

I'm still using UltimateLaunch. It works fine with WVGA. The transitions from tab to tab aren't as smooth as they were on my Mogul, but if you play around with the speed settings they look fine. The only transition that doesn't really look good is the Cube. No matter what I tried the turn is always choppy.

Re: TF3D Alternatives?
 

I'm still a newb, but titanium is part of the stock rom?

Re: TF3D Alternatives?

Re: TF3D Alternatives?
 

Wow.. i will also like to....

Re: TF3D Alternatives?
 

What is that interface called? Any videos of it in action?

Re: TF3D Alternatives?
 

there are so many that are so close, but none are quiet there :(

Re: TF3D Alternatives?
 

That picture looks like an SPB Mobile Shell theme. I am curious to find out what it actually is...

Re: TF3D Alternatives?
 

looks like the htc pure style for spb. only for 3.5.1 from what i've been looking at.

Re: TF3D Alternatives?
 

androkkid is also a pretty nice customizeable interface... Used that for a while and was pretty happy with it. Has some widgets available, but you have to "donate" to get them.

Re: TF3D Alternatives?
 

new version SPB Mobile Shell due out soon

Re: TF3D Alternatives?
 

Looks the same. Only difference is it runs on Android and Symbian now. So all of us who are upset about Windows Phone 7 and switch to Android, can keep using the interface we are familiar with.

It is the samsung today 2 pluging.

In this video:
