I used SPB Mobile Shell 2.something when I had the regular touch. What I like about TF3D is that with the texts, you can look at them there at the interface and reply to them without the actual txt app opening and such.
I may try Mobile Shell 3.0 but can't really find info about what's changed from the previous versions or even screen shots.....

Boy do I ever agree with that.

I have had a TouchPro since early November, but I still miss the hell out of my old xv6800 hardware buttons.........

I wish someone would come out with a hardware key mode that split the keys up on the TP like this (see illustration below). I can't tell you how many times I'll hit the top corner of the key, but it ends up executing the function for the bottom part of the key (ie hit home and instead it opens up the calling screen).

Not everyone wants an iPhone clone :angry7:. Functioning keys that are clearly defined are a GOOD THING!

I agree 100%. The trend towards eliminating all the hardware buttons is getting more & more like the iphone & I don't think anybody on this site wants that............

I miss the scroll wheel the most, the touch scroll is super finicky and has different functions in each program and I feel like the sensitivity varies from one second to another. I'd move 15 degrees and it'd go down one and move another 30 degrees and it'll go down 5 and maybe go backwards another 2

I miss my buttons on the 6800, but the button I think I miss the most was the camera button (if someone could find a way to map one of the other buttons to the camera, that would help.) When I broke my 6800's touchscreen, I was still able to use almost every funtion of the phone (save for the internet). I will be up **** creek if I break my Touch Pro screen.

I have the "phone" button mapped to open the camera app when I press and hold that button.
Though I do miss a button on the side of it where it's easier to snap pics. Speaking of the camera, I don't like how long it takes from when you press the button to take a pic to when the picture is actually taken.....

ae button is a must on these phones. also for those that miss the wifi switch, the new version of quickmenu has wifi controls.

there are new version of the camera app floating around that are fairly snappy (pun intended...)
juicy's roms have it built in.
