TouchFlo 3D Skin

Well Xperiancers, I am sure that you are aware of HTC’s Touch Flo 3D interface that was first introduced with the launch of their HTC Touch Diamond. Though initially buggy and quite lagging in performance, it is no hidden fact that with the release of HTC Touch HD the interface has not only been made compatible with WVGA resolution but also has been improved in terms of stability as well as performance.

I was impressed by the look and feel of HTC Diamond when i first saw it, but for reasons i won’t detail here, i preferred panels over Touch Flo 3D. But to be honest, Touch Flo 3D is more of an eye-candy than Panels – well at least till we get some really awesome looking panels. (COME ON SONY ERICSSON!!!)

Most of you would also know that Touch Flo 3D was ported to Xperia from Touch HD a while back and not only that but is also possible to set it up as a Panel instead of the default Today screen – which is the best combination. If by any chance you were not aware of this, then let me say ‘WAKE UP!!!’ and strongly advice you to visit the XDA Forums thread here.

That said… let me come to the point. A new cool skin for TF3D is now available at the XDA Forums. Though a simple skin that makes the tabs blue and changes the default background, but rather refreshing and more eye-catching than the original look’n’feel of TF3D.

Check out the screenshots below and if you want, then grab the file from here. Best thing is that you just have to execute a CAB file to install this theme. It is as simple as that. :)

You will also find a dialer skin and a communication manager skin. I haven’t tested these two out so if you do and want to share what you think about them, then leave a comment.

The only thing i don’t understand is why he has a white clock while i have a black one… :(

Now if only someone can port the landscape TF3D interface from Touch Pro for use in Xperia in landscape…

Xtrakt – A 3D Game for Xperia

Now who was it that insisted that Xperia lacked a 3D chip? Thanks to itje for basing his latest Custom ROM on the leaked R3AA ROM and seperately providing CABs to some of the goodies available in the new ROM version, you can get your hands on ‘Xtrakt’ - a new 3D game by Sony Ericsson – right now! The game has really great graphics and runs quite smoothly on the device. Though it warns not to run any other applications when playing the game, it ran just fine with SPB Screenshot running besides it. Best controlled with a stylus, you control the main character of the game on a future motorcycle destroying monsters. Doesn’t sound too appealing, i know, but the game is actually good! Better than many games that i’ve played on my iPhone and opens the door to better gaming on Windows Mobile. (True that an accelerometer would have been quite handy in handling the bike, but stylus/finger control of the bike sits well with the game). To download head on here . You do not need to flash to th...

SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 – A Quick Review

SPB has finally released Mobile Shell 3.0 and simply put, it is Amazing! Once installation completes and the shell is launched, you are taken to a sleeker version of SPB Mobile Shell 2.0 home with message information, notifications, calendar, and weather. This screen is known as the Professional Home screen. But wait! with the flick of a finger up the screen, the home screen is switched to the lifestyle home screen which provides a completely different look and feel. This lifestyle home screen is fully customizable allowing the user to place widgets and application launchers of their choice on the screen as needed. Apart from application shortcuts and widgets, the user can also add calendar entries, images, contacts, and more. Furthermore, the lifestyle home screen is split across three pages – flick to the right or left to change to the page – thus allowing you to manage similar widgets on the same page. Clicking on the lower-left button activates the SPB Carrousel – a 3D interfac...

Growing Panel – More to it… (Updated)

It turns out that the Growing panel has more to it than what was initially believed of it. It is not just a cool animated panel, but has a lot more to offer. First of all let me start off by complementing the animating panel. Having run it for a couple of hours now, the first thing i noticed was that it kept changing with time. The sun went down and the moon came up, and slowly made across the sky… and now the moon is almost out of sight and the sky a bit brightened, the sun should be showing up soon. (unfortunately i won’t be able to catch the sun rising as i’ll be asleep by then…) Next are the small insects on the panel. Bees flying by, worms crawling on the plants, fireflies in the air, and snails on the ground. Hit the bee or the ladybird and the phone buzzes, hit a snail and it hides itself inside its shell and stays there – hit it again to get it moving again, hit the firefly and it flickers… This is definitely a panel worth having! Now… the functionality on the panel. As e...
