CHT v2 is the best, and it's still maturing... With more add-ons it will be even better....

MS3.5 is lovely, don't get me wrong, stock sense is good, but I just find MS3.5 suits me better. Now if I could just work out what dimensions the wallpaper needs to be to fit a single page.
Do a search for the video of MS5 and try not to drool on your keyboard

::shakes head:: (M)obile(S)shell 3.5 and the latest version is 3.5 there is a 5.0 coming out.. but :A: it looks like samsungs touchWiz to me.. and there is no definite release date..
I like Sense with CHT2 but im running on top of CHT so hard now i wish there was a way to just turn sense off but still run Sense/Cookie so it would be as fast as MS 3.5... although.. i dont think speed is too far off anymore
Android is a completely different operating system... you wouldn't be able to use any winmo apps on it... but it couldn't hurt to try out android and play around with it, even if it has some bugs. It will run separately from winmo, so you can use it without affecting your winmo setup. And its running very well considering the hd2 wasn't meant to run android. It will run from your microsd card.... you run haret and that shuts down winmo completely and boots Linux kernel and android into ram. Then whenever you shut down or reboot your phone, it will boot up winmo like normal. It's fun to play with.

So it finally came out and it looks fantastic. But it's carrying a pretty steep price tag at $15. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.spb.shell3d&feature=search_result
I'm curious:
1) Is anyone getting this?
2) Does it actually work with the XT720?
Am curious too!! I wouldn't mind shelling those dollars if it actually works on my device. Cause it looks damn neat and promising.
However they should give a list of devices which are supported and yet to be supported.
I still dint go for it cause I don't know if it is compatible with Dell Streak 5.
peace out!
SAM
Had a chance to try it out with the 15 minute window refund. Works fine on XT720. Pretty cool and smooth, but I don't know if I'm actually going to purchase it.
i don't like it
is too WM6 like
I also think this is a cool homescreen. But does anyone know how much this thing drains the battery?

Mine didn't load until I tried like twice I think. Then again it could be an issue with the rom - lots of people seem to be complaining about it working and then no longer working once they switched roms. I'm not using Khal's atm and I'm not even considering buying it until I use the ROM and I see SPB works with it.

I think Khal's minfree parameters are probably too strict. I got those random program deaths when I was trying really strict levels. Too much free memory can be a bad thing

Phone refuses to load that launcher.... Any ideas?
I was thinkng maby i should mess with the VM Heap size?
If there was a way to get it working with the good ROMs without sacrificing too much, that would be great. It looks good and I know they are already planning to release more widgets (+WM users seem to have a lot of faith in SPB's dev skills and updates) so I'm potentially interested in getting this - if it works.
720 is ok
it is good
This program memory hog not worth the money.

The new version works just fine on V4 for me without swap, but it slows the entire phone down so not really ideal for everyday use atm. They'll have to do some more work on RAM consumption I think.
Hey guys, so i just got an X10 yesterday. It's my first smartphone (had an HP Ipaq Winmobile 6.5 previously). Right now it's running CM 6.5 I believe, that's how I bought it. I have two simple questions, please.
1) What's a good screen cover? Should I just go to the nearest "we have everything" store and pick up a matte screen protector, or should I get a specific one? I leave it in my pocket and no screen protector is a big no-no!
2) What is the best ROM (and kernel??) for me to get, if I have the following needs:
i) Fast. Right now it feels pretty blazing to be honest!
ii) Multi-touch please!!! I really don't like how X10 has no MT!
iii) Need Wi-Fi and GPS (I don't have a data plan)
iv) Need camera support for apps. I use camera a lot, the current ROM doesn't allow apps to use camera really, and there's no support for the front-facing camera (is that even a camera?)
v) Ideally gingerbread, but I don't care as long as it meets other requirements.
vi) Flash, again, no biggy.
vii) Support for apps, including, if possible, 3D games. Video codecs are a must. I tried hero of sparta just for fun and it didn't work it said closed unexpectedly)
viii) If possible, as free of bugs as can be. Right now my touchscreen gives out sometime, nothing major but annoying.
Thank you SO MUCH!!! I know I'm basically asking you to do everything for me, but I have owned the phone for 12 hours and besides not knowing anything, am spending all my time trying to get my phone company not to charge me $25 to make put my data on a SIM.
I'll do my best to figure everything else out myself, I just need help figuring out which ROM (and if need be, kernel) I should use on the X10.
THANKS!!!
in your case the best option would be to just install the Sony ericsson software on your computer and do an update, it will install the latest most stable version of Android for your device (Froyo 2.1) then just use a flashtool to root it if you want. This will enable you to have full features with minimal bugs.

Froyo is 2.2.......
Anyhow op, wolfbreaks cm 6.1.3 i really good, as is cobratos miui. Neither have any bugs..
If you need any help let me know.
Also, that is not a front facing camera, it is a proximity sensor

Wow, FAIL, sorry!
I'm running 6.1.3 right now, v4.5 and kernel version 2.6.29 SEMCuser...
Is that fine? Should I just leave it? I'm fine with a few hiccups if this is the best possible for now...
Also, I have yet to unlock the phone. Can I do it while it's in a custom rom or do I need to reset to factory? From Rogers to Bell.
Thanks.

Yeah you can totally unlock on any rom, just put the other companies sim card into the phone!!
I would say maybe update to the latest version of wolfbreak's rom, but you could also try freex10 beta 4 or cobrato's miui, depending on what style you like.
They're all complete, and I have no issues with any of them.
The speed you will gain from a 2.2 rom vs. a 2.1 rom is insane, plus apps2sd and other benefits.
I don't think you could pay me to go back to 2.1...
Also, get vignette from the market for the cam. It's awesome

Cool. I'll give them all a shot at some point, right now I'm trying out CM so we'll see how it goes, might just try their respective versions of 2.3 if it comes out soon.
Thanks though! Any ideas about the 3D games? Can the X10 do them?
I got Retro Movie Player instead, will try vignette

Oh yeah it plays them well actually!!
Wolfbreaks played pretty well every thing I threw at it.
You can even get the HD version of games and it runs them perfectly.
Vignette is just for the camera, not for the camcorder. It takes amazing pics though (hardly compresses them) and has a TON of effects.
Yes, I agree with wolf's latest rom and cobrato's miui rom, both are fast,smooth and stable. I use both of them regularly. If you choose cobrato's rom and don't like the UI being like iPhonish, you can instal GO Launcher EX and it will even fly (that what I do with cobrato's rom). In fact with wolf's rom also I'm using GO Launcher EX as a replacement of Arc Launcher (really don't like that launcher).
Ok, wolf it is then seeing it's unanimous!
What about the screen protector...do either of you use it? I'm just careless with putting my phone next to my keys and stuff...

HAHA my bad, had a long night last night. sorry for the confusion.
Wolfbreak is amazing ROM...i switched from freex10 beta 4 hotfix 1, and wolfbreak's ROM just totally amazes me. Partly because he's the only one that tweaks the build props. I got a whopping 1504 on my quadrant score!
Vignette is good camera replacement as the member above me said (personally, i never use the camera)
HD games...i can play almost any gameloft HD game on my x10, BIA2, Asphalt 5, Modern Combat 2, Real Football e.t.c... just not good cos the dual touch on the x10 is very dodgy. Oh yeah, download the game guerrilla bob...its my favourite game.
Keep in mind before flashing the wolfbreak rom, u need to flash the required baseband (for me, its baseband 58) via flashtool.

Also in xrecovery wipe cache partition, dalvik cache and do a full factory reset, as well as a system backup, instructions in wolfbreak's ROM thread.
Oh btw: the x10 already has a screen protector; its factory and its put on perfectly incase you dint notice, otherwise you can buy those others on ebay, i bought ten for like 3 bucks (aussie)
Make sure you put it on properly to avoid bubbles, use credit card to squash bubbles. e.t.c

Video preview of a new launcher called TSF Shell Pro being developed for Android. If this video is an accurate reflection of how the final release will work it could be the best launcher to date.

Thank you for your support. TSF SHELL closed beta application number have been carried out five days to apply the user has exceeded expectations, so the decision to close on December 14, closed beta user registration.
TSF has already begun to test models for registration, this time to support many users gave TSF TSF sent a lot of mail, in order not to affect the progress of development and debugging, TSF is no way to respond to everyone, hope to understand, thank you for TSF's attention and support.

Hard to say. Peeps said that about SPB Shell as well but battery life is just as good as stock launcher. I would think TSF would be right along the lines of any other mainstream launcher (lp, adw, etc).

I used SPB for weeks. It is the biggest battery drain I've ever had on my phone. The day I stopped using it was the day my battery life came back up to normal. I still keep it to show off my phone every now and again, but I don't use it often, and keep it unistalled.

Weird. My battery life between SPB and stock launcher is about the same. What was the last version you had installed? I do know the earlier builds of SPB were not near as good as these newer versions.

I will look at this when I get home, I just wanted to join this thread as to not forget. I have SPB 3D Shell and for as much as I like it, it has to go, they can keep the $14.99. Cute when I have 5 apps, now I have 60+, phone is slow, sometimes freezes complety............I like the look and feel, but functionallity is more important.
For those that haven't seen the updates, TSF posted on 12/23 that they are in the commissioning phase which includes adding new features and fixing things that were found broken in the beta trials. No release date posted yet but sounds like it could be soon.

I must be lucky then cause I have way more than 60 apps on my phone and it runs smooth with SPB. Using the Supercharger script as well. Not sure if that has something to do with it.

Hi...I'm new to the world of rooting and such...I rooted my Thunderbolt last week using the one-click program (found from different thread on XDA)...Now, I would like to install a more current rom since ICS is still not available. Also, I would like to improve this phone's perforrmace (I know it can do more).
There are a lot of different rom's at there and I am looking for something stable and does not cause any loss of phone features(very important)...The sense interface is nice, but I do not know what else people are using. If possilbe, something that is not an all day affair to download, setup and so-on.
Please give me some thoughts (I know this is very subjective, but most of you will have better insight that I do about what will work and the level of difficulty to set-up).
Also what happens to the phone when future updates are released from either HTC or Verizon??
My phone is Sense 2.1, Gingerbread 2.3.4 and Software(Radio??): 2.11.605.19710RD.
Also, will I have to worry about things like different kernels or radio upgrades??
I appreciate everyone's input in advance and I know there will be many thoughts.

HTC finished our ics build and we are now waiting on Verizon to decide whether or not to push the ota. If you're looking for a stable rom and everything works then try thundershed 1.6 or any rom with that as a base. They are all very good roms. I personally prefer sfkcm7.2. As for ics liquid ics is really very good and most of the issue with it are minimal. If a working camcorder is a must then its not for you.

Thank you for the information...can you reply with download links and screens shots for these rom's??
Also, can you help me understand what steps I will have to follow for this to work correctly?? Meaning additional software, formatting etc. so everything is working afterwards.
The Liquid ICS I think I will stay away from for now...What will happen when OTA updates are sent??
Sidebar: Currently, my Standalone GPS Services icon is constantly flashing in the toolbar and draining the battery...only way around is to manually toggle off & on the service...This started after I ran v6 supercharger script...Did I do something wrong or does this script not work well with the Thunderbolt??
Thanks again,

The only thing I would suggest that you download is 4ext recovery. There is a thread for it in the development forums. It will replace clockworkmod recovery with 4ext recovery and it is all touch screen. You can buy the full version from the market and I will say it is worth the money. If you dint have titanium backup that is another that you should download. You can get a free version from the market. Don't worry about otas once you flash an aosp rom. That has been disabled in the rom to prevent bad things from happening. Most sense based roms have it removed to but if you get the notification then postpone it as long as possible and Google how to disable it. I know the name of the file that needs to be renamed I just don't remember exactly where it is located.
