Hey guys.. I've been flashing my rom for the past 2 months finding the perfect solutions as best as i can.. I came accross this new PocketCM 0.8 today in the new Black X 2 rom and LOVED IT!
The finger guestures in perticular! Of course this is exactly the type of UI the iPhone is utilizing. So my question is, How can we get this functionality from all Pocket PC Products and screens? Like Pocket Internet Explorer, Calendars, Messaging, Photos, anything where you need to scroll basically i want to be able to use finger gestures?
I know the Htc Touch is all about that! And after reading the forums for days on end, I know that the TouchFlo / ButtonFlo project is dead because the touch.dll and the drivers are not compatible with the HTC Hermies / AT&T 8525. So what cha gunna do brother!!?!?
Any ideas?! THe finger thingy!! Want it. Need it... gatta have it. Gestures!
The rest of this is prob in the wrong thread but here goes.
I want to give a review and comparison of HTC Home Plugin and SPB to see if anyone out there agrees or knows of some kind of solution.
SPB is a software company that makes 3 products, SPB Mobile Shell, SPB Phone Suite and SPB Pocket Plus.
The 3 of them are great but they are memory HOGS! and they don't work very well unless they are installed to the device.
HTC Home screen plug in (3, 4, 5 and 6) button variations are all great and it has most of the features of those 3 SPB products, but HTC Home is still LACKING as far as i'm concerned. Combine the HTC Home with the HTC Xbutton and your closer but stilL WAY far from as good as the SPB products togeather.
SBP has the best X button product along with a battery meter built into SPB Pocket Plus. But the rest of the plus features i dont even use! (such as a today plugin, more PIE options, SAFTEY MODE, and a few more)
SPB Mobile Shell gives you the same kind of TABS as HTC Home plugin but better. The only thing better about HTC Home is that is has More available items in each tab. But the SPB Mobile Shell is COMPLETELY CUSTOMIZEABLE. add more tabs, change icons, whatever, so you are not limited to just 6 tabs with 9 icons each... it even includes weather for your local towns and much more. Also, there is a NOW SCREEN every time you turn on your phone for a very EASY AND QUICK look at your stats, and an SPB MENU that makes using just your fingers a BREEZE!!! navigate through your ENTIRE ppc with big buttons. its like the HTC TOUCH without the gestures and the FLASH and PUH-NAZ! AWESOME products!
SPB Phone Suite gives you the same 3 notifications under the HTC HOME plugin for messages, voicemails and missed calls, but again... so much more!!!
I'd love to see THAT type of functionality with gestures and in a LOW FOOT PRINT so as to not hog up all of my program storage. HTC has some work to do to catch up.
