iPhone for PPC - Which is the best?

[mdavenport]

I have been using Slide2Unlock on my WM6 Hermes now for a while and have really gotten to like it, so much that I want the iPhone look and feel on my PPC.

I have seen a few around but then seem parts of the full package. Is there one particular one that seems the best all rounder?

I came across this one but haven't tried it yet:-

I would like a version that has the iPhone dialler but needs to have the smart dialler functionality so that names come up when I type numbers etc..

I would also like to continue to use Slide2Unlock

Also, I would like the icons on the today screen etc...

Can you please point me in the direction of a good version.

Many Thanks
Mark

That looks good but doesn't appear to have the animations etc..

How do you think it compares to http://www.ozankilic.com/?p=31?

[mdavenport]

have also come across this one but also don't know how it compares to all the others:-

These seems to be so many, is there one particular good allrounder?

Its a program called wisbar advance and desktop. They are great programs and will let you design your UI any way you like. If you go to the forum and under skins, search for iphone. You will find people who have done plenty of iphone skins and have uploaded them so others can use them.

Right now there is no way for our phones to handle the transitions that they show the iphone do. It take my phone (Hermes) 5 seconds to do a transition that is fade to black. So until Windows Mobile upgrades the way the run graphics we are out of luck.

For transitions, try iTask. There are actually a bunch out there right now;
Grumps' iPhone App (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1710253#post1710253) (stable, fast, has animation of icons disappearing one after another when opening app, but no longer being developed)

iFonz (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369241)(active developer, many features, but kinda slow startup, since it is written fully in .NET)

iTask (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364344)(written completely in flash, if you can deal with that, it has iPhone-style animations and is fast, not much development lately)



In the end, it's all personal preference. From what I remember, Grumps' iPhone App is the lightest and fastest, but least featured (a straightforward launcher). iFonz aims the most to emulate the iPhone exactly, but iTask is pretty similar, and has built-in apps like Satellite.

Good lordy, ban that person!

Anyway, I'm a sucker who goes through iPhone envy every now and then. I've actually tried most of the ones mentioned above, spending WAY too much money for the one using wisbar. To be honest, my favorite was iFonz, which, oddly enough, doesn't cost a dime.

Great site, good way to track all the wonderful apps people are creating here

[trjons]

iFonz is free. Why would anyone pay $9.95 for that one?

[Napbree]

You just made my day! :) Thanks alot, good to know my hard work is being appreciated! I would love to get a sticky for my website - but I don't think they would allow it.

Thank you again :)

P.S I just tested the iLaunch, and it's really bad :/

I agree. I started using it a few days ago and it's great so far. I'm like most people who likes a 1 stop shop.....

*Edit*
I can't believe this is my first post!?!?!

[cabayboy831]

ifonz is the best and its free. Try is first before you buy anything else. i promise you will like it. also the new update is available.

I tried a lot of iphone lookalike tools, but ifonz is far away from beeing the best!

Maybe its the best for you...

So far, Torx's theme has been the best for me. It allowed me the iPhone look, but WAD/WA3 allowed me to customize it even more to suit my preferences.

That's just my 2 cents, which may not even be worth that. :)

[tjex]

Napbree, if I might suggest, could you add a few more stats such as: OS (wm5/6), resolution (QVGA, VGA, WVGA), etc.. just a thought.

[Napbree]

Well it does. If you check the "FAQ" it will tell you why it isn't working on your device. E.g "It won't work." "Is your windows mobile OS higher than 2003" etc.

Fantastic website btw, I wrote it into the Hermes FAQ, such a good place to find loads of the software from here.

Wow, thanks again :)

There are so many of these programs online right now, didn't realise...

Ozankillic's version looked good but apparently some people had had tuning issues with installation...

Thought I'd be safe and went for a paid version from www.windowsmobileiphone.com (http://www.windowsmobileiphone.com)...thought it would be safer as you have to pay for it!

I think all of them are slightly different from different sites though aren't they?

Should be deleted!

DO NOT use the theme you have to pay for, it's garbage!

Instead, use WAD2 + WA3 with Torx's theme.

I would if it was a VGA theme =(

For now I have to use iFonz 1.1.2 which to me seems a little sluggish
