Advise for dumb old man

As a former Palm user myself (M100, IIIc, Treo 650), I felt the same as you. I needed a clean interface that didn't need a fracking stylus all the time (....I was, frustrated with the built in interrface, lol)

I tried Ultimate Launch, Winterface, the various Touch "Super" Cubes (MacFlo BB and Vista 2.0 being wonderful), Pocket Plus, SPB Mobile Shell, Point UI, HTC Home 6 tabs, and WAD, and I've settled on IFonz 1.0.7. and MusicFlo as worthy replacements for the simple "Look and Press" of Palm's OS.

In short, Ifonz makes your Mogul look and function like an IPhone! It is very customisable, and is the primary interface I use. If you add the S2U2 program, you'll have an Iphone with a slide-out keyboard! There's even an Iphone dialer floating around, but please verify that it is for CDMA phones.

MusicFlo on the other hand is a "still in development" program that emulates the new Diamond/Touch Pro interface. It's a little buggy, but it's an awesome program I switch too when I need a change.

Also, if you need your phone for business like I do, then stability/performance is important. I suggest flashing DCD's 3.2.6. and installing No2Chem's NueTools via .cab files or his nuePackageinstaller (for OEM's). I only use NueUSB and NueFonts, but there are many others.

Also, keep an eye out for No2Chem's V3 NueROM. He seems to have freed up about 6MB, which is very important with the Mogul.

As for dialer's with bigger button's, DCD'S ROM's already come with the Touch's dialer, but if you want to try one of the custom CDMA dialers out there (like the one's that mimic the Diamond's dialer), then you will need the BlueFrog dialer first, and then install the customs over it)

Journey,

Wanted to let you know I've been playing with Ifonz, and I love it! Also, looks like he's about to release 1.1.0 in the next few days. So from this I've deduced that Apple basically stole the Palm interface, added a bit of fancy animation, and packaged it in with their normal marketing excellence to sell to the iSheep. What a hoot.

Next on my list: MusicFlo.

LOL @ iSheep

Thanks for the heads-up for the new version of IFonz, and YES, I had the same thought "They took this from Palm!", LOL

There are some IFonz icon packs floating around, but I'm sure you've seen them, and I'm glad you're enjoying the program!

As for MusicFlo, keep in mind that it's not yet ready for Prime Time (still in development, a little buggy), but the awesome work of MusicMan247 should most definately be looked at and enjoyed friend!

Welcome to the world of Windows Mobile!
