Alright guys. Been working on this for a while, and I finally think it's worth showing.
Note: This is a preview, it's alpha and can be unstable at times.

This is a homescreen/lockscreen app I made, based off of the Windows Phone 7 Series Metro UI.
So far, you can:
Set Phone, Text, Outlook, and People to a certain app
See upcoming appointments on lock screen
See information on live tiles
Launch programs
etc.
Instructions
1) Download installer at bottom of post.
2) Copy to device and install
3) Run wp7s.exe from start menu
4) To access settings, double tap on right side of screen
5) To lock, tap the top bar (near clock)
Known issues
* Animations are sluggish at times.
* Problems with kinetic scrolling
* Unlock can unlock in any direction, not just up.
* ...need more feedback
Requirements
VGA or WVGA device, QVGA is possible but looks bad.
Recommended: Snapdragon processor or at least a very new phone.
Live tiles
The live tiles seen are web pages that auto-update with JavaScript.
In the video/screenshot, one is the current weather in New York,
the second one is the current trending Twitter topics,
and the last two are random changing numbers.
To make your own, just design a HTML or PHP file, use JavaScript to auto refresh, upload it somewhere, and set it to one in the settings!
Also, here are some examples I've made:
Random Number (for testing) - http://jaxbot.com/livetiles/random.php
Top 4 trending topics - http://jaxbot.com/livetiles/twitter.php
Weather - http://jaxbot.com/livetiles/weather.php?zipcode=[ZIPCODE]
Upcoming features
More customization (background, etc)
Smoother animations/scrolling
Ability to rearrange icons
Social networking integration
Hubs

Enjoy, and give me feedback.
very interesting... would love to see this develop further...
Wow! Very cool, definitly a little buggy, but I'm still really impressed. I didn't imagine someone coming out with a WP7 shell this soon, I will be following this thread for sure.
Wow that looks great! I'll be testing this soon.
nice work man! this is interesting! looking forward to more functions
Yess!
I'm so glad you've already put out the alpha download, unlike Maxci with MaxSense. This is great work and is very much appreciated.
Awesome Development
The Windows 7 Series Phone use Segoe UI font and it would be nice to see it ported as well.
Great development.
this sounds good
i have tried in QVGA (HTC ARTEMIS) its look good
nice try buddy
Nice to see an early port.
However, I think this really highlights the a major issue with the current WinMo 6. That the graphics are on the whole incompetent - poor support for transparency, and horrible font smoothing.
it look pretty well, but it doesn't work on my lg-gm750, wen i execute the exe file says: there is a problem, please reboot your device or se more detaills
niceeeeeeeeeee
wow wow amazing
On my german HD2 there is an FileNotFoundException...
And it does the shortcut in \Windows\Start Menu\Program Files
but in german ROM it has to be in \Windows\Startmenü\Programme
couldnt you use Environment-Variables?
It looks really cool and i would be happy if i can test it on my hd2!
Aah!
I was hoping this would be created by someone...
And now you did!
Wonderfull!
I'll test it out on my phone!
Thx!
After testing: Looks good on 320x240.
Indeed a bit slow and choppy sliding, but it assume you're working on that
You're doing great!

The cab installer I used for this is crap, next build I'll use the default one in Visual Studio, which I believe uses environment variables.
The reason why it says FileNotFoundException is probably due to it looking in \Program Files\wp7s\config.txt, but it may be something else (since it should just ignore it if there's no config and just use default settings).
I'll look into it, and hopefully I'll have a smoother, better running build out later today or tomorrow.
EDIT: Found the problem, it's trying to pull images from \My Documents\My Pictures, which is obviously only good for English devices. I'll give an option to change it and have it patched in the next build.
Thanks

Again, thanks for the feedback all, and look forward to a new build soon.
thanks for your work.
i can't get it to work on my hd2 (german).
already edited all the paths to match the german version.
still no success. "wp7s.exe DirectoryNotFoundException".
what directory is the exe searching for??

The problem is that it is looking for \My Documents\My Pictures\.
Try creating that path and placing a few images in there, or wait for the next build (should be soon).

Attention!
I have recently begun working on this project again. Currently, VGA has been fully implemented along with improvements to the "configuration program" included in the PhonyCall package. One of the new major improvements to the configurator allows you to "drag" items such as the caller name, call time, caller number, and contact picture for simple on-the-go customization with each "wallpaper"/phone canvas.
If you would like to help me prepare the next release, i specifically need atleast one set of WQVGA and atleast one set of WVGA screenshots (incall and incoming call.) A variety of different dialer screenshots would also be helpful for any resolution (allowing users to find pre-configurated setups matching their existing dialer.) Right now i have only included the Opal Dialer for QVGA/VGA resolutions.
On the same note, if you have any ideas for features to be included, don't be afraid to suggest. The new version is incomplete, so new features to-be-added are still possible. Don't wait till it is to late, or you may be waiting awhile longer
A somewhat complete list of changes from this dev version are listed below.

(Screenshots Current as of Version 0.9)
Description:
A "fake call" open source freeware. The program allows you to fake a call to yourself, giving you a tool to avoid akward situations. There are many programs that now do similar functions, but they are not free, nor as highly customizable.
Change Log:
29OCT09 DEV VERSION (unreleased -see above notes)
-Configurator now allows easier on-the-go customization for dialers
-In call timer digits fixed to show 2 digits all the time for seconds
-Fully VGA compatible
-WQVGA and WVGA compatibilty
-"Skinnability" improved and better organized (along with the ways in which you can skin.)
-Ringtone is now pulled from system settings (may include the option to use specific ringtones set through PhonyCall Config depending on feedback)
-UI updated, making the program more pleasing to the eye.
.9 [Current Released Version]
In call screen added with timer
A text alignment problem was fixed
added a simple Config Program.
.1
Initial Release
To Do:
Make Customization More "automated" and reflect system settings [ADDED IN DEV VERSION 29OCT09]
Loop Ringtone (right now it only plays once through)
Customization:
Just about everything Can Now Be customized via the "PhonyCall Config"
To Change the ringtone or backgrounds the files are located in the application's directory.

Joel,
This will be a great program.
On my htc touch diamond the dial screen is only a small portion of the actual phone dial screen.
An in call screen would be great.
Will check for updates. Glad to donate when it is working.
Thanks,
Doug

The Program is only QVGA right now (as it is listed in the first post.) Your phone is WVGA.

Nice ROM.. I'm testing it.. I'm just wondering if you've got a green theme that matches the green in the taskbar..? Thanx in advance
Your screen shots are very nice. Clean and attractive. The three icon wide menus give large fingered persons better finger action... David.
Easy, fast, appreciated
Was intrigued by the minimalist approach so downloaded your ROM last night in addition to a mediumist (Surface) and a maximalist load (eNRGy). Ran them all and they were ok and pretty. But oh so slow. Installed yours last and it was fast and stable. I do add for my own tastes, mostly SPB Mobile Shell (3.0.1) and Skin Changer (4.1.3), but thats about all in the nice-to-have category. Your build is in the same vein as Da_G and Monx (whose ROMs I have been using for years and whom I think the world of; but who seems to be easing out of the ROM Chef business probably because of all the crap that folks demand of chefs.) They are fast and stable people and not so much into adding the kitchen sink. Well done and thanks.
Thanks for the kind words guys! Glad your enjoying at the moment.
Anything anyone wants adding please let me know. I decided not to cook in the cabs because I know not everyone is the same. Any cab's I do add or find that I like I will mirror.
To the people who create the cabs:
Please let me know if you do NOT want me to mirror. I'm more than happy to mirror free of charge for those of you that need it, especially asit gives you an option alternate to megaupload or rapidshare.
Cheers again all!
just looking for green theme for you to chap.

Green theme by the talented Mobile Matt, still in production though! Should be right for you though!
Where's the screenshots?! I wanna see it. Sounds exactly how I build my ROMs except I install Volume Control, HTC X-Button, Notification Manager, and the latest Google Maps (always handy).
The Notification Manager isn't a big deal if you use the CHome homescreen, but it is very handy for Dismissing all the notifications at once (like Missed Calls and Voicemails). I like it personally because it prevents the ugly popups when you accidentally tap a taskbar icon.
Volume control is a must but has it's issues with the default dialer. I'll either hard-code the reg key for the in-call volume so it is turned all the way up or I will just install the HTC PhoneCanvas dialer. Lately I have been using the Tachi dialer but it has lots of issues. Personally the official 5.11 Slide-To-Answer dialer works great. Or you could update the Default dialer skin which helps alot. I've tried several methods and all work pretty well.

The link is at teh bottom of his first post. It goes to his online folder and from there he has several pictures of screenshots.
Sorry. another edit Mi have to make, volume control is included!
I Like it. Nice and Clean ROM. Hope you keep it up to date.
btw> why not use HTC Album V3, can I install it myself with no compatibility problem? and could we have HTC Audio manager v2 in next update but without TF3D is it possible?
Thank you.
oh where is MSN weather and Stocks?
I love this - I just love it. SO fast compared to the so called 'fast' roms out there. Of course it's fast, there's little on it. But that's the little I need
Now, that being said, are there alternatives similar in concept out there? I'd love to try out a few minimal roms.
Really like the ROM.. But I've got one question: Can't run Worms World Party.. Any idea what might be a solution...?? On other ROM's it works perfectly.. Really want it to work with this ROM..
EDIT:
I've found the solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532200
All credit goes to: aceviper2
Now I can play Worms!!!
screenshot would be good
how do I add msn to this??
Hi, any new update in future?. Your ROM is the best just don't forget MSN Weather+Stocks and HTC Audio player/manager next Time.
Ok I've been using this for a month now, so I thought I'd post a review:
1) it's fast. It's very very fast. It's faster than anything I've ever tried on my HTC. Boot times, application load time, etc. Very fast.
2) it's bare. Very bare. In fact it's empty. Yet, for the purist like me, it can never be too empty. I'll be the judge of what gets installed or not, thank you very much.
3) load opera, gmaps and skyfire and you got yourself a very decent pseudo-MID. I don't use it for anything else, but I use these three very heavily, and this rom handled it very well indeed. Shame that the GPS on the HTC touch pro is not working as intented -but that's not this ROM's fault.
Now... how about an update? Latest drivers perhaps? An update is what we need.
ZLaunchy - version 0.2
This is still an early beta, so some things might not work
ZLaunchy was written mainly for those who like the way Windows Mobile dialer allows searching for contacts in a T9-like way - so that finding Adam means choosing 2326 in the phone application. ZLaunchy uses the same idea to run programs on your device. What it does is gives you a dialer keypad and when you type in a series of digits, it searches for all programs that match - for example to start Internet Explorer, start typing 4683 - Internet Explorer and Internet Sharing should show up in the result list.
Application performs a search using all items in the Start Menu. It also skips showing application icons, which causes it to work faster than usual application launchers. This makes ZLaunchy a perfect candidate for an application that's bound to a hardware key (using system settings) and have it always handy when you want to find an application quickly.
In order to search for a particular text as beginning of words, type the specified digits - for example 4683 to find Internet explorer. In order to search for specified letter(s) not only at beginning of words, add "1" at the end - for example 4681 will find PowerPoint Mobile.

Download - QVGA, WVGA, VGA, WVGA:
http://www.endorser.org/wm/zlaunchy
Change history for version 0.2
* Added support for square QVGA (240x240 and 320x320) devices
* Support for entering digits or text using hardware keyboard
* Configuration panel - vibration feedback, additional search location
* Added possibility of searching My Documents and one additional directory (multiple directories coming soon)
* Searching for strings not only at beginning of words (by appending 1 at the end)
* Optionally run on startup - starts and hides ZLaunchy in the background
* Minor bugfixes
Plans for future releases
* More configuration options
* Configurable, easily switchable "profiles" - i.e. "start menu", my documents, custom directories
* Ability to search in settings items - not sure on how to list items in there from C#
* Multi-language support - both translations and better locale-specific searching (only supports English and Polish nicely for now)
* Support for theming (result list and buttons separately)
Very cool... I don't think I'll need it but I like the idea. Nice work.
thanks for the app anyway, BUT...
you should have mentioned that this app was for VGA only...
you could have saved an install and an uninstall for me dude!

This shouldn't be VGA only. That's why it's still 0.1 - not quite final yet.
EDIT: Fixed - some screw-up in the CAB creation. Now there's a separate QVGA/VGA installer that works fine on both.
@dredd - care to retry?
Great concept seriously !
Oh my god that program is just AWESOME.
That's the thing i missed all the time on my WiMo-phone. On my computer, i'm only starting programs with launchy, it's much more faster than browsing a start-menu or something like that.
If you need help, ask me. I'm quite experienced with photoshop and also can help you with translations (german).
A version with a full QWERTY-keyboard (that covers 3/4 of the screen) would be great too.
Great idea! Wonder if I can use it like filemanager too? I'm always searching for a cab on my storage card. This is brilliant!..
I'll assign it to a button for quick launch.
Thanks for sharing..
Works great! Smooth, fast , Vibration feedback, finger scrolling! Very smart!
Thankyou very cool app anyway to turn off haptic feedback? If not could you implement for future release
Great stuff!
How about options to search for other file type by name? Photos, docs, etc? \
Might make it even more powerful.
As I sad, this is great!
wow it's really fast. thanks. maybe an option to remove the vibration in the next release?
interesting concept! going to try right now...

As for help, if you want to make a better theme (I suck at graphics), PM me. We can work it out. As for translations, there are only 2 texts for now, but when I add in the configuration panel, then I would use your help.

Yeah, that's part of the TODO list. Engine is quite generic, so adding in My Documents or custom folder (i.e. *.cab in \Storage Card\installs) is mainly configuration issue. That's for v0.2 or a bit later.

Great idea, I always thought the titles were a waste of our diamond's precious screen space. Especially when porting to VGA. Looking forward to the release!!
It looks very good, but will it work on WVGA?
You could place the title of the tab in the place where "start" is now, if that is possible. Example:
What software are you using to edit the TF3D?
It should work on WVGA, but it makes no sense - WVGA screens have enough space to display both the tab title and its content.
About placing the title on the taskbar - I guess it's not possible and I do not see any sense in having the tab title displayed. You can say what tab are you using by looking at its content or the tab icon
I'm using m9editor and luadec - really great tools.
Yes, but it would look more complete imo, but it doesn't matter When you have it finished I will try it out and see if the program/settings tab actually use the space where the title is now, in some tabs it would be useful!
Well, I do not have any WVGA device to test my mod... Anyway, it won't look very nice, I guess the screen will be cutted and it will be even worse that the original Manila layout.
UPDATE, I've decided to release the mod hoping that you'll find more bugs... I've also added a list of known bugs to the first post. Any feedback would be great!

Outstanding work as always. Will test this out for sure.
ok just tried it on WVGA, but it does not work properly. the tab icons are now very small and I can only go to home and settings and it does not use the added screen space, but I hope it will work great on VGA, because it is a nice tweak
I REALLY like the idea of this because of my small diamond screen, so hooray for this mod!
is there a no top curtain mod around somewhere?
bugs are:
- weather tab: is showing only the main animation and no numbers for none of the days, and the forecast animations are gone too.
- contacts tab: the slide bar on the side could be longer (if possible)
- internet tab: search bar should be higher (opinion)
- email tab: the envelope is a little too big (who cares?)
So just the weather tab is really something that needs to be fixed, the rest is just small stuff.
Hope I helped you out a little.
PS I'm using GenY R3 ROM.
Ok tested on VGA Touch Pro running NRG's latest rom. Also using CompactHome mod and bg4all mod.
Bugs
1. Breaks Background for all tabs - Even on selecting new background nothing is shown.
More on this:
a. installed in this order: bg4all, compacthome, compactmanilla - result is broken bg4all mod and backgrounds in general.
b. installed in this order: bg4all, compactmanilla, compacthome - same result as above.
c. installed in this order: compact manilla, bg4all, compacthome - everything is sized correctly but the tab titles are there under the newly sized pics.
2. Weather tab does not show temps or weather for future days. The slots are there just no temps/pics of weather.
3. Email tab has the envelope/email pages cut off on top right. Does not affect the wording so not a major issue by any means.
Great work, but I find some bugs not mentioned before, take a look at the Screenschots:
People Tab: the left dial-icon is cut off.
Weather: long city-names are cut off and overlays the Arrows.
The Programtab icons should be modified, too and start a little bit higher.
Thanks everyone for the bug reports! I must say I've only tested this on R1.1, R1.5 is a bit different in some matters, maybe that's why all of those bugs came up. I'll try to fix all of these as soon as I flash a rom with R1.5.
jodeltje, I had the no top curtain cooked in the rom... I guess I can put it together with my mod.
ACoolGuy, I've completely forgotten about the AllBg mod, since I do not use it I'll have to see how is it done and maybe put it into my mod.
KUR0I, I did not change the program tab, since I'm not using it. But I'll correct this on the next release.
Hello kamill,
For first, Good job and very interesting mod !
I think your mod does not involved 5c9aa261 and 7adfaca3, right? If I'm right it will be very easy to make it works with BkallTabs mod...look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4575344&postcount=55

Black version
PLEASE READ THIS:
What was changed:
- autohide call log and calendar
- 2 appointments with big clock, 5 with small
This modification MUST be installed directly on the DEVICE, NOT Internal Storage or Memory Card!
BIG thanks to:
- hallatore for the concept (CompactHomeScreen for TF3D 2.0)
- kimi_sae_ireba for the great Sense 2.1 VGA port and for sending me a decompiled script, without which this mod would be impossible to do
- 6Fg8 for m9editor - a great tool for editing mode9 files
- sztupy for luadec - a great tool to compile/decompile lua scripts
You may also want to install CompactSense 2.1 - improved Sense 2.1 layout!

Clean version has no arrows and dotted lines.
Reserved for future use.
This new homescreen really works perfect!
Running Gen.Y D2 R5 for diamond now. This works perfect together, thanks!
Good stuff Kamil.
This is heading in the right direction. Can you point me in the right place to move the arrow down a little and maybe display 3 or 4 appointments on the Rhodium's larger display? (Which Manila file?)
The arrow is right in the middle of the blank area on the Rhodium as opposed to your screen shots as its a bigger display. No real issue but would just look tidier on the bottom.
Also the thing that annoys me with HTC's new Sense is that the appointments don't show up unless they are one day away. Have you come across a way to possibly change that?
I'd like to know how you managed to decompile the scripts too. I gave this up as a bad job as I couldn't get the script to decompress beyond 51%. If you did it manually then it's out of my league.
Anyway, nice work.
thanks
This was much awaited
Thank you very much! How about remove the arrow and extend the date of future appointments?!
no date on home now?
so in compact view (small clock)... the date is no longer visible?
I'm glad you like this mod, guys!

I'll prepare a cab for WVGA later.

Nope, it's the same as in Manila 2.1, where I was trying to make it work for a loooong time...

LuaTool copes with most of the scripts, except of the big ones. I've got one decompiled script from kimi_sae_ireba (thanks again).

The first point is easy, but the second is impossible for me.

By default it was not visible.
I've added a cab with a Clean version (no arrows and no dotted lines) and a test WVGA version.
wvga works great on blackstone with togger ROM and sense 2.1
Love the clean look. Very stylish.
Hi Kamil,
Is it possible to make it so I can use a picture as my background on all the tabs in this mod?
I'd also like to know if your mini-tweak which removes the border and what have you around the clock is compatible with this mod or will it override it?
Cheers
p.s. Is there any easy way to change the font colour in Sense 2.1? With the lovely background I want to use I can't read the appointments. The font could do with being black.
In order to have Bg4AllTabs change this registry key:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"Tweaks.WallpaperMode"=dword:00000001
My mini-mod removing the clock background replaces the graphic file, so it's fully compatible
Regarding the text color, I'll upload a cab changing the font to black on the home screen.
REPORTING for me on my Blackstone WORKING PERFECT Im using the ROM from my signature
Thanks
I'm glad it works fine on WVGA devices
UPDATE Just before a while I uploaded a new version - Black - which features dark font colors on the home screen. Hope you like it.
Very nice mod, thanks for the hard work works on X1 WM6.1 Sense 2.1. (Mr Rusch's NUTS ROM)
However, it seems to slow down moving between Manila tabs - noticeably but not a lot.
The "standard" config on the x1 is to press the right hardware key to bring back the Manila home screen, from another tab or from just another screen. The Manila home screen does not return for me when pressing the hardware key: it does so eventually via Start/Home dropdown menu.
I uninstalled the cab without problems and the transitions are lightning fast again.
If this gives you a clue as to what may be causing the issue, I'll happily try other variants
Sorry, I can't support devices such as Xperia. The files I have edited in this mod have nothing to do with performance, so I'm pretty surprised to hear that. I only change the positions of elements, nothing more.
Perfect mod, working very well on my Touch Pro with latest EnergyRom (21xxx build with Sense 2.1), thanks for this!
Kamil,
Many thanks for doing this.
I have made a small donation for your effort. I wish I could afford more as I appreciate the work you have done on this more than I can afford to spare at the moment.
Have a beer or two on me...
Thanks very much! I'm glad you like my mods
