Didn't get the chance to install 2.1 myself, but view a few few reviews on here and YouTube, not sure i would want 2.1 if it was the same spec released tomorrow.
Why only 24 icons a page now and not 32?
Knowlonger 1 wallpaper per room
Can knowlonger delete unwanted rooms
Never disliked the old keyboard that much and now no arrow keys
With a 2.1 update i was hoping for (as i never had a problem with 1.6)
Open home page in portrate
Positive
Bookmark thumbnails in browser!
Anyone go any major positive/negative to report
Maybe Dell will read this before release and take note if there are enough comments one way or the other!! Then they might not!!
I was also hoping for a portrait homescreen and a more interesting homescreen something like the sence from htc...and maby a portrait program menu when opening it directly from the homescreen!
Maby someone of the rom devs here will be able to create a 2.2 rom with htc sence on it than it would be perfect for me
To be fair, this is a leaked Beta version. I'm sure I hope they have quite a bit more to add
Like FFC support in the camera app (works in fring).

I did a crappy review on my site (in sig, not the food one lol) if you want to check it out.
I like the new keyboard, the old keyboard was a pain with the number pad making everything squished to the left. BUT a left and right arrow key would be nice for sure (since no trackball).
As for all the other bad things you mentioned, easy fix is download ADW Launcher from the Market and then set it as default for when you hit the home button and then go into ADW Settings and change the rows and columns to 6 and you'll have all the space you ever needed on your home screen plus portrait rotation
@jmhalder
Front facing camera would be nice but how about zoom option lol Just want the Android 2.2 camera app from my Nexus... sigh
Now if only someone would make an AOSP Android 2.2 build for the Dell, I'm be in love with this phone....

Not so crappy, one of the best imho. It is great to hear from an informed enthusiast rather than just an opinionated commentator.
Not too sure about the intruding background music. Personally I found it distracting (that's a euphemism for annoying btw) to the extent that I stepped through the review in the rush to switch it off.
But that is just me, no doubt you gets loads of compliments asking for it to be turned up.
I like the scope of your site too and shall check in regularly.
Just to make sure I'm not missing anything. The Dell Facebook widget is NOT in the 2.1 update? Just did it and don't see it in the listing. Only the stock Android Facebook widget... Ohwell... Liked the Dell one... Any APK's floating around..? Also, anyone know if the HTC keyboard works with it..?
HTC keyboard is a no go... Crashes on launch... sigh...
i hope theres more to add to this in the final release!!!

To be honest Id assume that itll be in the final release (remember this is a beta release) because there is also no facebook integration for your contacts built in like there is in 1.6 so Im guessing all the Facebook stuff is missing.
You can download Facebook fkr Android and it has its own widget.
HTC's keyboard would be a nice addition...
There is the option for facebook integration in the accounts section, but once you enter you credentials it disappears.
So I would expect it in thefinal
PS the only negative I have (over 1.6, as I would also prefer portrait-especially because all apps default to portrait and im sick of flipping the phone to keep it in landscape) is that I cannot see all the apps in the market, annoying but I can live with it....just

Ya true.
As for your negative, have you tried ADW Launcher from the market, itll get you that rotation on the homescreen then once your in portrait just go to settings and turn off auto rotate and it should stay portrait.
As for the market issues, Google 'Market Enabler.apk' and install it. It lets you mimic different carriers etc so you can see more of the market. You just have to experiment with the settings till you get one you like.
Hope that helps you for now.
I can't see a number of apps including some that I bought also.
MyPlayer(free) has disappeared and logmein ignition(not free) has disappeared.
Excellent i'll give those tips ago

Actually, not crappy at all, excellent in fact. Thanks for taking the time to put it together.
I put the phone to German settings. Chosen because its in Europe. When I set the settings back to stock the market still works so i'm guessing the restore doesn't work. But no probs so far
The enabler can be found.......

Hey!
I've been working on a project the 4 last months and it's looking pretty good now. It's only compatible with WVGA devices (480x800 resolutions).
What is it?
iPhoneUI is a shell for the Windows Mobile system. It works on the Windows Mobile 6.0, 6.1 & 6.5 systems.
It is maximized which means that this will "overwrite" your booring original windows homescreen.
It features a nicely made topbar, sliding between pages, a lockscreen and some widgets.
Before starting
*Please COMMENT & give me feedback and suggestions on what i should add to the application. Without you I won't be able to improve the shell.
*If you like my work, please be generous and donate a few bucks to support my work Donate here
Instructions
1. Go to my website (http://www.chabbeclub.tk)
2. Download the latest build & the .NET 3.5 cab from my website.
3. Install (if not already installed on your device) the dotnet.cab file.
4. Then install the latest iPhoneUI build
5. Soft-Reset device (if needed) and you're good to go!
Latest Changelog
Made changes in topbar
Remade the UnlockWidget. I've added a UnlockSlider.txt in iPhoneUI folder that the application now uses to view text in the unlockwidget.
Added option to change the Unlockslider.txt file in options menu.
Also added abillity to change the vibration pattern in the options menu.
Removed the battery charging icon and instead it will now show a dot (.) infront of the battery percentage when charging
Also deleted the ugly battery icon in topbar.
Problems/Bugs
**A serious bug which I at the moment can't seem to fix. The problem is that the multi-pages function only works with english and swedish devices. All other devices will only be able to get the first and last page.
Temporary solution to viewing all the pages for non-english/swedish devices
First, you need to download and install the latest build from my website.
Then go to Program(s)/iPhoneUI and transfer the Shellconfig.xml to your computer
Open it up with notepad
Press Ctrl + F and search for <targetFolder>\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\</targetFolder>
When it has found the text, change the targetFolder to where your programs folder is located. Unfortunately you have to do this manually.
Press save and upload it to the Program(s)iPhoneUI folder, if needed overwrite the previous.
Restart application and done! Now the multi-pages should work for all devices, even for the non-english/swedish.
Notice
This project is closed due to not beeing appreciated, and therefore don't expect to recieve any answers or help from me although I'll try and help you the best way I can. My website will still be up for those of you who wants the application.

Hey guys,
The difference is that it's using a fullscreen and because of that I have a topbar. But this app is slower and the iphonetoday app is better according to some, not me . But I've been working on it for 4 months now and it's really turning out... As if now, the iphonetoday is a little bit better but I'm working on it every day
Come on guys, be good sports and admit it's the first of iPhone clones to look exactly like a real one. Thumbs up chabbe11 and good luck with the development, you have tough competition
not really an iphone fan. but am a supporter to developers like you. Keep it up!
(Instead of this GUI, why not create your own? Need help, can look for me. Of course, this is not to dampen you, but to give more options for you. )

I agree. you seem like a great developer. Why not add some features that aren't available even on iPhone... like widgets... music player, picture frame viewer, etc. like with Android?

Like we all know, the competition makes things better.
I just installed it, to try it out. Unfortunately as you might be aware too, it is too slow and even the graphics seems to be a bit enlarged (Not at all eye candy). To be frank, i did not even explore all the options before i uninstall it.
Thought of having some more versions of wait, before i can try again.
Definitely this app is lot behind the IPhonetoday. I see more potential in having a revolutionary work like 'TouchXperience' UI. It really brings out the new ideas in how else the UI can be...
Just my few thoughts out for you...

Sure thing, thank you for beeing honest.
I'm well aware that this is very very slow and that the graphics isn't the best. But I'm trying to fix all of that in order to release a good beta, or even the complete version of the app. Thank you though for giving me feedback
I just want to inform you that I'm releasing the 0.2.1a version tomorrow. I'm going through final steps at the moment
though i was never really an iphone fan, i like the fact that people like you try to create things in one way or another.
when the time is ripe and when possible this app can be skinned to look as much as unlike an iphone as possible, that would be something! (me thinks)
for the time being, keep up the good work!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=746020
first off: i am in no way affiliated with the developer, or development, of this app. i am simply promoting it to show my support/appreciation for a great app and dev!!
im hoping most of you know about this app by now, but for those who dont, i URGE you to try "Flow for Facebook" (free and paid on market, paid is well worth the $2). OUTSTANDING developer who monitors his XDA thread and Twitter....definitely a user's developer.
This app is revolutionizing facebook for android. Flow has LEGIT push notifications for everything (through GMail). you simply link your facebook notifications on facebook.com to your gmail address, and whenever youre notified the Flow app intercepts the GMail notification and displays it through the app's interface (includes notification popup and quick response...similar to sms popups).
It has almost everything you could want from a facebook app (it doesnt have scrollable widget or chat just yet). The UI is slick and clean.
I cant say enough about this app, but i fully support this developer...check it out for yourselves.

Looks like the UI has a fresh coat of paint since the last time I looked at it. Thanks for the screenshots. Ill definitely check this out.
LOVE the popups. I emailed the developer to see if he'd be interested in designing a Google Voice popup app. Since Google has their own set of API's for Google Voice SMS, no one has been able to make a popup notifier ala Handcent or SMS Popup. He may be able to grab the notifications via Gmail the same way he does for Facebook.
I have used this app before. I dont think its a revolutionary app as the title describes it. However, this is definitely one of the better unofficial facebook apps out there. It has a huge downside to it.... Its way too slow than the official app.
The best thing about this app is that the developer is continuously updating it and making improvements. I uninstalled it a couple days ago for the sole reason of it being slow.
Another good feature of this app is that you can browse ‘pages’ and all groups - primarily the reason I installed it at the first place.
Just my two cents.

when sthe last time you used it?? he has made serious speed improvements of late. there have been about 3 updates in the last week alone. he cached all photo info and cut photo loading time by more than half.
also, just yesterday i was trying to view album photos in the official facebook app, and it took over a minute for the entire album to load.....in flow, the same album took less than 15sec. not exaggerating.
im not saying this app is perfect...by any means....but im not misleading in any way either

I didn't say you were misleading. I merely offered my review of the app. Im sure xda members will benefit from more than one review. I found the app a bit slower than the official one, even after the updates. The last time I used flow was couple days ago. As I mentioned before, I did see improvements and that the dev is very active in terms of updating the app and improving it. I had seen alot of FCs as well on the last day. That might be a phone specific issue. The app, however, is definitely better. I love the fact u can browse pages and groups. Having said that, I reverted back to using the official app until the dev perfects this app.

I paid for this app thinking I was gonna be able to use what appears to be a 4x2 widget, but when I select widgets from menu it places a 1x1 little computer icon on my page! What the heck is that? It looks like a widget in the screenshot, but I guess it's not. The black box that appears to be 4x2 is what I'm speaking of.
I tried the free version and I must say that's it's nicely made. I don't know why someone can say that it's slow, cause it ain't. Pictures load really fast, the popup is cool, etc, and the UI imo is more appealing than the official one.

really? i never use facebook messaging but i just opened it after reading your post and all of my messages loaded in under a second. not exaggerating.
who knows.....was it the first time you opened your messages? maybe the first load takes a while.
Yeah I just back out of the app, opened it back up, it gave me an error going into messages, backed out, opened it back up.
Now its all gravy
Id say its faster than the 1st party app now.
I am running a ROM on my EVO 4g with pieces of sense 3.0 and so many ways to reach frequent apps ... dam overkill

This is the pull down notification bar ... i liked it better with quick power control widgets on the top, HTC should of thought about implementing that... and maybe have the quick setting tab be favorite apps
here is another way of reaching frequent apps .. holding down home button... can be accessed from anywhere just like above method ... two things doing the same thing now.
And here is the application button which takes u to another screen (apps,frequent,downloads) with the star being frequent instead of favorites ...
How many ways do we need to reach frequent apps ... they def should of made one of them pull up favorite apps that could of been customized
If i am missing something .. please correct me .. who knows if this will change on the day of release but this is overkill to me in which they could of implemented more useful features ...
sorry for the rant .. just had to get that off my chest .. i feel better now .. how do we get HTC to read this ...LMAO
Yup, too much nonsense in Sense lol. AOSP is far cleaner and thus faster as well.
How did you change the "Sprint" name?
Yeah Im wayyyy too used to the power control widgets in the pull down. Gonna cross fingers they can get implemented. though I think itll be tough with the spot already taken up...
You realize other than the flashlight, all of the power widgets functionality is in the quick settings tab of the pull down. I don't really use the recent apps function but I'm not used to it being there. I ran a desire hd ROM before but ditches because of the lack of 4G. So its only been about 2 or 3 weeks that I'm rocking a sense 2.1 or 3 ROM. I'm going to live with it for a few months before I deem it redundant. If anything, I'd leave the recent apps in the pull down in place and replace the holding of the home key for running apps only. Or the home key for webos like running apps preview. I know there is an app that does that already but in my opinion its very clunky.
I like the multiple options. I use the pull down recent Apps. My girl uses the home key press. I have liking the second tab with power controls.

How many ways do we need to reach frequent apps ... They def should of made one of them pull up favorite apps that could of been customized
if i am missing something .. Please correct me .. Who knows if this will change on the day of release but this is overkill to me in which they could of implemented more useful features ...
Sorry for the rant .. Just had to get that off my chest .. I feel better now .. How do we get htc to read this ...lmao

I'm running virus kingdom 1.3 right now and so far so good. My phone is very fussy so I'm surprised its working so well thus far. But if you want to try a sure fire 2.1 ROM (which has the recent apps pull down) I highly recommend mikg 1.03. That is the perfect compromise of new and exciting without issues and degraded performance. No special partitioning required either. Just flash and play.

Come on man, they are all the exact same post. You posted them all.
That said, I'm all for extra choices.
I really like the recent apps up there, its quicker when you are using your touchscreen to just flick it down and hit the app for me (im running synergy on my evo w/ it)
I've personally been using Task Switcher by Shisho since I got the evo.
A short press on the home button brings up your choice of running apps - or, if you enable it, recent apps as well.
The list is MUCH larger than the standard 6, and a quick second press drops you back to the home screen.
You can map a long press of the search button to it as well, but I never have. It's FAR more useful than the long home press, and the recent (but closed) apps list is great for pulling up something you've accidentally backed out of, even if you have half a billion other programs running.
That said, it does have its limits - the recently used apps do drop off after a while. I haven't figured out its method of dropping them *shrug*
This program has proven to be invaluable with the Sense 3.0 stability issues on the Evo.
It lets you select your home screen as well (press menu to reset it) - so switching between launchers takes mere moments, and can be accessed with only 5 presses from any app - one on home to bring up Task Switcher, one on menu, one to select the home screen, one to set it, and home again to launch it.
Go launcher served as a GREAT backup when Sense 3 failed me... but even going to Go Launcher was unnecessary 99% of the time - because of the recent/running app list in Task Switcher....

There's an app for that:

I did mine's differently, but I forgot how because it was a long time ago. I downloaded something called CDMA Tools, or something, and did everything on my PC. Therefore, I can't verify that the app works, but I've read positive feedback about it.

I think its a dud.
It did not come preset as the video and screen shots show. There doesn't seem to be anything specific in terms of improvements other than the launcher and the lock screen. I was just filmed a video of my installing it and playing with it, but I'm not even going to bother uploading it to youtube. Not worth it.
Bummer.
If I'm not mistaken, roms should go in the development section.

You should post it up anyways, that way everyone can see how poopy it is. I would like to see it pls.
Update: How do you install this with ACMEInstaller? I would like to keep my dual boot into webOS.
It took a while for me to figure out how to get the language from Chinese to English, but I say skip this. It is the CM7 buiild with tweaked settings and such. CM7 XRON-ified or even the new MIUI build are way better options.

Let me rephrase...
It didn't provide me with anything new. I already had the ICS theme for Theme Chooser, so cosmetically I gained nothing. Also, now I have a ton of chinese all over my menu and my keyboard.
Nah, I'll stick with calling it a dud.

That fancy Launcher TSF shell which we all got a preview of earlier in December has finally come out:
http://tinyurl.com/7owwsfo
Any body take the plunge and drop 17 bucks on it yet?
I am considering doing it cause it looks amazing and I'm sure it'd run awesome on our GSIIs.
Belongs in the apps section.
Also I rather not spend $17 for something that might just kill my battery.

it does not work. I wasted my money on it and it force closes. Running stock.
Same RESULT on my tmo gsm tab
UPDATE
WELL ... JUST WANTED TO SAY AFTER 2 UPDATES IT NOW WORKS ON BOTH GSM TAB AND SGS2 BOTH TMO
VERY RESPONSIVE, FAST BUT LACKS SOME OF THE BELLS AND WHISTLES FROM THE VIDEO
Giving it a try. Pretty damn smooth; there are a few features that aren't up and working yet, but it's very impressive. The lack of instructions is causing a few headaches, however.
It can only get better with time. While it doesn't quite have the HD look that SPB Shell has, it seems smoother, and just more useful. SPB looks good, but it's like it never got past demo stage. High hopes for TSF.
EDIT: If you are trying to make it do the "snake" thing from a folder and are having problems, someone on another thread figured out that you have to have more than 7 apps in it to make it work. It's seriously cool once you figure that out. Makes for a nice favorite contacts app.

How much memory does it use?
sent from my SHOstocked sgs2 via tapatalk.....
This is pretty amazing!!! I'm going to wait a little bit longer then buy it! I have to say, if it isn't to much of a batter drain, then I could see this being a pretty nice launcher.
I actually set my "SetCPU" to 800 max, and everything ran SMOOTHLY!! no problems at all! I don't think this uses much more then 200 Mhz, because after fussing around for almost 15 minutes on it, I have CPU Spy saying 200 Mhz was being used for 9 minutes. So . . .
(It might be using the GPU tho, in which case I don't know how to check that.)
Looks interesting. Anyone run into any type of ROM specific issues yet?

Looking at 5.48MB.
Still liking it; it's got lots of potential. I'm really digging the snake function of the folders. Load the folder up with apps, when you want one, just drag it out and tap it. I'm getting a list of tweaks it needs for the developer, like the snake needs to collapse after you use an app in it, stuff like that. Let's see how things go. I still find myself trying to swipe to move to the next screen, but you can't enable that and keep the core function of grabbing and manipulating multiple apps on a screen. I'm going to use this for a few weeks and see if I have the urge to return to a standard launcher.

No ROM specific issues just yet. The video that shows off the launcher seems to be on a phone with MIUI, I think that they would be well suited for each other.
The favorite contacts folder I made works pretty cool; drag the contacts out, tap on one, and it gives you the quick info popup for it. The demo in the video looks different because it's MIUI.
The snake thing only works if you have at least seven items in your folder, and the folder won't hold more than twelve items, so some people might end up with multiple contact folders, like friends, family, work.

I look forward to your review. I'm tempted to pull the trigger, but I've paid for way too many apps that I thought would be cool and useful that I used once and never again.
I got it, but I'm not pleased with it. It's kind of a pain to get to your apps.
Watched the video, read the reviews - even when it's done, it seems like they missed out on an essential factor - it's supposed to be a launcher. And it looks like they layered too much candy on that basic function for it to be usable as a daily driver.

Not sure why you think it's not a launcher. Instead of launching the app drawer like stock/LP/ADW/ect, the app drawer is the first homepage. The MIUI launcher doesn't have a standard app drawer either. And as far as launching the phone/contacts/messaging/ect, they are located on the left side pop-up bar. Granted, it feels different when you start using it, but I'm driving with it just fine. There are some bugs in it that would keep me from keeping it if they don't get addressed, but they seem to be doing updates pretty often and I'm hopeful it will continue to improve.

I didn't say it isn't a launcher, I said that it doesn't seem to function well as a launcher. If it's working for you, I'm glad - and I'll continue to watch and see if they live up to the promises made in the demo. It may well be as you say that I'd just have to get used to it - which I've done before, and will again, when I think the learning is worth it. Although I do like a clean home screen (yes, I know I could do it that way, but that defeats their design).
I've been playing with it and I think it's cool. There is a learning curve and it's not perfect but there are some nice features in it. I stopped using it though as soon as I discovered one feature it lacked that was a must have for me. scrollable widgets. They dont seem to work

Ok, good chance to ask - which scrollable widgets are a must have? I like to keep my home screens clean, and watch battery drain (too) obsessively, so the only widgets I use are Simi Clock (covers clock, weather, and launching apps), 3G Watchdog, and music (PlayerPro and Subsonic). What am I missing?

Well I did say for me they are a must have I use Android Pro widgets, I use about 3 of them(at least scrolling ones) all on their own home screens. I have one that loads twitter and FB updates, another that loads my agenda and one for my text messages. Then a full screen music widget(poweramp) on another screen and a full screen weather widget(fancy widget). I'm not too obsessive over my battery because I ALWAYS either have a spare charger or an extra oem battery (or both) with me

Thanks - I can see the use if I were a more connected person, but I'm not that big on Twitter or Facebook, full screen weather seems excessive (I look out the window , and tapping the weather icon on Simi Clock takes me to Weatherbug), don't text much (and get notifications for that), and my calendar is a tap away... I'm really never that far from a charger, but I like not having to plug in from the time I get up till I dock when I go to bed. If I were out more, I might need it, but I tend to do the home-work-home thing most of the time.
I picked this up. I like it, but some functionality is missing. I'm not talking about things they show in the video that you would have to figure out on your own, I'm talking about buttons that are available to use, but if you try to use it, it says the feature isn't enabled yet. That's kind of annoying. No need to have the button there if you don't have the functionality in.
Battery in my opinion definitely is affected. With my current build below, I was getting about 1% loss per hour. With this launcher it's approaching close to 3% per hour. I don't know why as it's not like my wakelocks are increasing.
