PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE POSTING

For those who are interested, I've started a thread on Sense UI alternatives. Sense is nice, but it's always nicer to have options.

Also on PPCGeeks Sense UI Alternatives

I've got these so far

SPB Mobile Shell (Paid)
Customize SPB Mobile Shell

ThrottleLauncher (Free/Development Halted)

Infinity (Free/Development Halted)

PointUI (Free+Paid/Development Halted)

Keep 'em coming guys

*Development halted is pretty self explanatory, but for those blissfully unaware what this pretty much means is there hasn't been an update to the project for some time and/or development on the project has ceased.

**If anyone thinks one of the projects warrants a status change (i.e. from active to development halted or from development halted to active) please let me know as I cannot keep tabs on all of them.

Thanks for that

Another hope of mine is that by mentioning all these, they will receive more attention and development.

Too bad that ageye stopped with Infiinity.
Really appreciated the developement and it looked great + fast.

PointUI was also a good try but should need a refresh to get up to date.

I agree FloWe1902, I really liked infinity. It had a lot of potential.

And there is also Androkkid, but the development for that has slowed, but again, its another alternative. I used it on my old iPaq and it never failed me!

Nice Maringer, little of the trek there!

Perhaps, you could indicate which are free and those for which you have to pay?

The only one that you need to pay is SPB. PointUI has a free as well as a paid version. The others are free

Compiling these in one location is a nice idea. You might also want to include a link to the tips and tricks thread under the mobile shell link. That thread links up with a majority of the many custom UI/themes available for spb mobile shell. Many of the available options result in an entirely different experience than the default spb shell... just a thought.

TouchXperience

If and when Schapps ever finishes developing this and it gets a full release it will be the UI to beat them all as far as gadgetry goes! I'm on the beta testing group and I have to say there are flashes of sheer genius in it - g-scrolling in the menus, active wallpapers, amazing hardware button integration, superb volume/profile controls, etc plus seperate control over portrait and landscape home screen layouts (great for having just essentials available in landscape view for car kits, etc) and the promise of endless widgets for the home screens.

Have a look HERE

Added. Those two look pretty sick, I'll have to check them out whenever I've got some free time on my hands.

Are we including Windows Mobile themes here (i.e. extra downloadable ones like here) or just ones which replace the default today screen?
