Hey everyone,
just saw the new LG KM 900 Arena with its new so called "S-Class 3D UI". It is some sort of mixture between the iPhone, the Omnia and the Experia X1.
In my opinion it looks pretty nice and it would be great to have it on our HD. I don't know the type of the processor but it has a (small ) 3inch WVGA screen.

Hope we can find some guys who can port this "S-Class" to our HD

Does it even run om WM?
No.
As far as i know it's a special samsung LG OS
greetz
will be released for WM

In the article they say, that the LG GM 730 (which is pretty much the same as the KM 900 Arena just on the basis of Windows Mobile 6.5) will be available in the first half of 2009!
I thought WM 6.5 is expected to be launched in autumn 2009

Very impressed with this new UI...
Wow I really love the Interface.....
Nice looking UI. I've just tried the new SPB MS3 and Winterface on my Touch HD but didn't like either enough to buy them. MS3 is very smooth and colourful and easy to use and set up, plus I didn't suffer from the battery drain problem a few people had reported. Winterface has potential but is still 'buggy' and a bit 'bland'. I've gone back to TF3 for the time being.

+1 for this thread
will be released soon.
anybody know how to remove LG application expecially the LG messaging / sms ?
Hey buddy
this phone sucks. don' ever look for it
Y - just had one of those phones in my hand (last week - not the new WVGA,... variant but they already have the UI on other phones) - better stay with Manilla & Co.
(btw WVGA just means better resolution but as to WM Phones is also means its much slower - as seen on HD)
At the first look it seems to be neat but it hangs like Manilla in the first days....
OK - it has a cube - but its not very important (beside eye-candy) and takes a little bit to long to show up and does not actually show the screen you are going to - just a general preview how the screen could look.
The Program start UI is nothing special cause u got it already in many HTC devices (WM6.5 startmenu or Iphonetoday,...)
In my opinion just wait for the "real" new thing - with 3D UI and a good workflow (just tech-demos out now - but will prob come mid next year) - or go for HD2!
Great specs in my opinion!
cya
have anyone got s-class ui ? for htc
Hello Xda fellows
Does anyone else have a strange feeling that our beloved blackstone is slowly but for sure falling into oblivion?
sigh
yes, of course it is. it is three genrations old now (touch pro 2 and diamond 2 are next generation and htc leo is the newest).
However, this doesnt mean its going to be forgotten. the android project is really gaining ground. the "improving gfx performance" guys have just released a killer graphics pack and all of the apps made in future for the td2 and tpro 2 (maybe even leo) will work fine.
so, to answer your question, it is getting a bit old (a year old now) but that doesnt mean its going to disappear. look at the polaris and kaiser
good to hear opinion like that thanks man
the good thing about our phones is that it is still "current" in that the _relatively_ "newly released" TD2 and TP2 have very similar specs to our phone...it's just not at the very top anymore
Falling into obvlivion might be correct, but that doesn't mean the device is bad. If you like a device, you like it nomatter how many new devices are out.
I Dont think its falling into oblivion, look at the specs...
More ram than most, better screen than most, wvga is becoming more and more recognised, you dont get a 3.5mm headphone socket on most other devices, 5mp camera, most others are 3 or below, and really as long as xda developers lives on all devices do too
As far as I can see, it's still the top of the tree until the Leo is released.

HTC are not making a phone called Leo.
Yes. I am a pedant
A month ago I sold my HTC Diamond for a Touch HD...
I had the option to go for a Touch Pro, Diamond 2 etc...
but after trying a few the screen on the Touch HD is far superior to any others tried even the Iphone doesn't look as perfect as the HD.
It runs as fast as both the Touch Pro and Diamond 2.
The only difference in my opinion is the TV out on the Touch Pro.
Its inevitable that as time goes on the HD will eventually become obsolute or redundant as you'll move to pastures green. However with the HD, I feel this is still a bit in the future. There is nothing out there to really make me consider getting my wallet out and purchasing it. As time goes on this will obviously change, but not just yet!!

Now I would have absolutely agreed with you until this last week or so. The HD2 just looks too good to miss.
It'll certainly quieten the missus and her damned iPhone a bit.
Meh, I still got me HTC Universal running, the bigger the HTC the longer they last!
Blackstone is NOT going to fade out so soon.
Crap, I just switched from Polaris to Blackstone... )
And there has to be something much much better than HD2 to make me cry why have I bought HD...
I guess you are right!
about HD2, is just got one ~10 Days ago and i have to tell you, its not that different from the HD.
its just a little bit better in every way, but always just a little
(little faster, manila little smoother, gps little faster, screen a little bigger....)
but so far everything form the hd2 works just fine on hd (exept a free 3D game, forgot the name)
The only phone i would upgrade to is the HD2..
I love this phone! It may be buggy, badly designed vanilla rom and feel like plastic in your hands after a while, but you can do anything with it! It's powerful, got a _sweet_ display and it's the best phone I've tried surfing the web with.. With Opera Mobile 10 that is.
There's no phone out there worth upgrading to yet, this phone has still got atleast 6-12 months left in my hands..
INMHO I do not think that this phone, the HTC HD, will obsoleted soon. The most I read in others forums the most I think that still the HTC HD is on the TOP. The capacitive screen seems better than the one of LEO or HTC HD2, at least for use most application or write an sms. In addition, I have seen this evening in the developers and hacking forum that a multi-touch driver has been released for our HTC HD, so we can have the best of both worlds. Even, the Android runs quite smooth in the HTC HD so you can switch between windows and Android in less than 2 minutes. I am not thinking in change my phone in this moment, I quite satisfied, but If I had not one, I will take the advantage of the new release of the LEO to get a very cheap HTC HD in the second hand market.
If HTC had sorted out the Qualcomm driver situation I'd be all over the HD2, but I'm thinking I'll skip this generation, just not enough of an upgrade for me at the moment...
HD is a great phone

Well, I have mine for about 3 months now.. ans I could have got many other phones.. but I agree with the superlatives you mentioned. skinny too, where most phones are a quarter brick in the pants.. I had to help a colleague with his Kaiser on a WM6.1 and use a stylus , only to realize and appriciate the touch HD.. Is it, eventually, become obsolete? yes, but at least not until 2011.. if I won't break it by then (flashing, or screen cracking it) I will keep it for a longer time. It simply suits my need. I am sure there will be other phoned, but until there is touch HD2 around, working in 3G US, I will keep it, flash it, test it and hope there will be enough chefs on this thread
Thank you folks for the sleepless nights you give me.. my wife is sure I have an affair, or I am into cyber sex.. until it does not stop- I will stay with the HD..

Hi BigE! Long time no speak!
Good to find you in here!! I need your help...
AS you probably remember, I am a Trinity user. With MSkip's ProPlus Ultimate 3.5 QVGA 110209 installed, I am basically at peace. It's perfect for my needs.
BUT...
Recently, I've been tempted to buy a Touch HD, disable the TouchFlo and install MSkip's ProPlus Ultimate 3.5. Is it worth it?
The bigger screen, the more powerful processor, etc, etc... Will I really notice the difference if I just use Spb MS3.5?
I know you're not a massive fan of Spb MS3.5... I use it purely as I need an appointment list on my Today Page. That's why I don't use Manila. That's why as far as I can see I would not be happy with the TouchFlo 3D on the Touch HD. Such a shame it's missing!
I look forward to your advice. Maybe you'll convince me to leave Trinity!?
Mattster.
I've had my Raphael (fuze) for over a year now. I love the phone, but I have been using Excel a lot lately, so I can use a bigger screen.
I was leaning towards the HD2 (for the faster processor), until I found out the screen was capacitive
That only leaves the Touch Pro 2 as an alternative. I need to be able to use a stylus, and I want it integrated into the phone. I also prefer the slide out keyboard, and the tp2 is roughly $70 less than an hd2.
Anyway, my question is can anyone recommend a very clean rom, similar to Da_G's roms for the Raphael. Thanks.

NRG makes some very basic ROMS if that is what you want. There is a Reference version with very little in it - sort of a stock ROM without bloatware, a Titanium without Sense of any flavor, and another basic version which is the NRG ROM without extra add-ons.
http://hotfile.com/list/599461/c264c05
.
also a tp2 should only be 200 with shipping or around 170 without shipping, and a hd2 should be from 300-350

I agree with steve here. Energy ROMs are generally the most stable and pretty.
HERE is the link to the front page of the thread so you can see the different options. There are lots of options to choose from. I would suggest just messing around until you find the one that suits you best. Happy flashing!
First off, I have been coming to XDA for a while now and love this site. Thanks everyone for all your posts. I'm new to posting and figured I'd give it a shot.:
I recently bought the Atrix from AT&T and I love it. I upgraded from the Captivate which I loved as well but it broke on me and I'm happy for the upgrade. I just have some questions about the atrix:
I've been looking into all the cool hacks that are possible..I recently hacked it so I can view webtop without a dock and yesterday I installed Gingerblur which I love so much more than stock. I used the superoneclick software to root my phone which was a breeze. I did it while I was at work..thats how easy it was.
I was wondering if I can detect which version of Gingerblur I am running and if I can upgrade to the latest version if I'm not running it. I was also wondering if there are any other hacks like Gingerblur that are worth looking into.
I was also wondering if there is a way to get the "end all" option in the task manager when you long press the home button. I really liked that feature on the captivate, being that you don't need to run a Task Killer on android with the latest firmware. Is there a way to get that back? I just like knowing I can close all applications.
Also is there a way to get wifi toggle buttons in the drop down notification bar that the captivate had.
Being that I just rooted my atrix, and am figuring out ways to utilize such a powerful device, what would you guys recommend that I do to the phone to get the best out of it. I'm not sure exactly what rooting the phone can do to make my android experience better.
I'm new to forums and android so please be kind..I'm sorry if this post seems kind of jumbled with various topics. I would appreciate any input. Thanks guys
-Mike
I'm also running Launcher Pro which I Bought. I also bought setPCU but I'm not sure if the atrix is compatible or how to use it properly...but would love to overclock the phone when i can.
anyone? please?
I'm about to get the Atrix too!! As far as I explore the android market, there's antutu benchmark and its master boost apps that can overclock and test your phone's performance. I tried it on my HTC Desire and got a pretty impressive result. Definitely give it a shot.
so i've recently bought a tp2 on ebay for sprint and now wondering if its an upgrade to my touch pro (raphael) or Touch (vogue). I've been using the raphael for a while and liked it for my uses had wm 6.5 and xdandroid. battery life was terrible back than so i just couldn't use xdandroid... and than the screen went out - started looking fuzzy. switched to my old vogue and installed xdandroid. been liking it so far but it's glitchy at best. So my question is i've heard many complaints about the tp2 being sluggish. is it worth the upgrade? how is the battery life on xdandroid? last a day with some browsing and push email?
If u like android so much, u should've just bought a cheap HTC android phone. You'll notice that the performance of this phone isn't as great as many users here says it should be. Sure there will be some that will argue that u can overclock it, but for one IMO I don't really see much of a difference or being useful (since a majority of the time the phone crashes) and by doing so, u are risking your phone in being damaged.
Android on this phone is nothing more but a mirage and merely a showoff for people to show that this phone can run the os. Let me tell u it can run it, but it's not at all practical. Many features that you may require on the phone are not working and overall I just find that as much as that the phone can run android, the hardware for it is not good.
I rather use windows mobile -and that's not saying much because I hate it. Just stick to what the phone has - After modding many times I came to realize that it's just best to keep it how it was and thats by using the correct stock rom. With all the crap I've gone through, I prefer the phone to work rather than modding it, customizing it, change icons, colors, layout, blah blah blah, optional garbage that the phone can't do properly.
Sorry to burst ur bubble about this phone, but if I didn't say it then you will soon find out the harder way.
Thanks - haven't got an android phone because i didn't want to pay the extra money to move to a new plan.
I was happy with my touch pro (raphael) in windows mobile, but the limits to it mostly android apps are very useful on my Touch (vogue). I know the limits of the phone, just was wondering if beyond the astehtics better screen, was this better than the Raphael?
