Survey: Your finger friendly combo

[kimolias]

Hello everyone, I'd like to ask you a question. In an attempt to create a new design style (which will not be iPhone-like or any other-like) for xda I would like you to answer me:

What is your finger-friendly combo applications?

For example, my finger-friendly combo is:
PointUI + ContactCM + Spb Time

Of course, it would be great if they are customizable (although I can't think of one that isn't).
Also, any suggestions for an interesting design style would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. xda-developers community is the reason my next PDA will definitely be HTC, so keep up the great work!

Hi!!

I think that if you want some flexibility in customization and also make your design free to use you should use this:

- Today screen: XIAMultitheme, rltoday + UL or why not... ThrottleLauncher
- Player: S2P without any doubts.
- Calendar: Thumbcal

I don't use any other kind of app's but there are a lot there like S2U2 that also can be interesting .

I know this will look like I'm doing some publicity of my app... but remember I'm just another XDA member, why wouldn't I share my opinion...

Hope this helps

iContact definately won over PocketCM. I'm using Throttle Launcher now with a diamond theme, which works pretty well. Obviously S2P for music.

YEP !! Opera 9.5 is FF...u can scroll the pages just Piscel Browser

My combo:

PointUI 1.51a
S2U2 + S2P + S2V
Iphone dialer (From DxC)
Icontact (Be5) + Diamond theme
ThumbCal
Opera Mini 4.1
TouchPal

Opera mini 4.1 with esmertec jbed is good enough for my web browsing needs. Opera mobile 9.5 just seems to take too much resource that my puny tmobile wing wasn't able to provide.

I also use total commander with large icon for file browsing, but it's not so finger friendly so I still need to use d-pad.

Quick menu is good when used with d-pad and very powerful. It compensates the weakness of pointui IMHO, such as fast task switch, "OK" to close program, handles settings better and easier access to programs menu.

FSD - Mine!
S2U2, S2P and S2V
iContact
ThumbCal
Opera 9.5
Scroll Launcher - Mine again
Some random never to be released apps of my own that have big icons etc.
PointUI is also good, but is a memory hog!

[kproj]

For me its a few apps that are not developed on XDA

Winterface 1.01 (Iphone like with unlocker)
Fun Contact 2.15 (The best hands down contact manager)
Sms-Chat 1.1
Eyephoto 1.1
PCMKeyboard Iphone Skin
Manilla Black Dialer V2
S2U2- unlocker turned off, I just like the touch answer keys
S2P- Seriously, is there any better ?

I found the Vito applications to be very low on memory and absolutely brilliant for a touch phone. Just no customization

Edit: after reading the posts I tried out Resco Explorer 2008 and its great! Got the version along with the Registry editor. PERFECT!

I've made a package (originally for the Touch HD) to replace all Windows Mobile application with fingerfriendly ones.

Watch this video:

Some applications are included only as VGA versions (like iContact).

For me:

M2D- convenient, stylish, stable, ability to preview (long) or view (short) SMS + it's rock stable.

Thumbcal- good and real thumbfriendly. (hate the black digits for time setting screen; too hard to se in glare of sunlight)

Icontact BE- Nice and friendly.
