[Theme] Great SenseUI Alternative!

Great SenseUI Alternative!

So today I got tired of my Rhodium manila, and decided to try and mockup the SenseUI found on the HTC Hero, which is an Android device. The results were astonishing with a skin pack for PointUI Home2 called PointSense. There is still a lot of work being done to provide more applets in SenseUI style, but it is rolling along very nicely.

actually... ive been running this for a while, and in order to get it fully looking like the images and a full sense UI interface, youll need the most recent version of npoint ui... which is version 2.1.0.6... and also the next gen mod.... ill attach the vga cab for you... but, its sitll is beta and has some flow... very functional though...and looks sweet when i wanna impressed... try it for yourself!!

oh p.s next gen mod is for vga and wvga... if u want wqvga or qvga youll have to download it of the point ui community forums... unless someone else can uplaod it... im about to crash!

works w/ the newest free version which is considered to be lite, but better w/ pro version as you can add more applets etc

last i check the cracked pro version available was 2.0.3.2 which this wont work for... we didnt have a cracked 2.1.0.6 pro version... a few request were mad on the point UI threads and even u urself said hadnt found it yet.... unless that change last couple days, but i havent seen an update... well the theme will work... but w/o the next gen mod wont work, w/o which you wont get the bottom or top bar or the full sense ui interface, ull just get a basic point ui theme w/ sense ui wallper which is kinda lame w/o the rest of the goodies...

Nice program, it has some few bugs when installing, but i think it might be a issue with certain roms. It has awesome potential and i love the home screen. I only wish it had a better display for unread messages. i am going to flash a new rom and try it again. i will keep you updated if i find anything else.

Yea, on the website it does post some other options for installing it. The method that worked for me was

- Remove PointUI from Start > Settings > System > Remove Programs
- Delete \Program Files\Home2\ if there is anything still there.
- Download and install PointUI 2.1.0.6
- Enable PointUI from Start > Settings > Today > Items > Tick PointUI Home2
- Close the Settings window.
- Disable PointUI from Start > Settings > Today > Items > Untick PointUI Home2
- Download and install PointSenseSuite (QVGA or VGA) from the first post.
- Download and install PointSense.Homescreen (QVGA or VGA) from the first post.
- Re-enable PointUI from Start > Settings > Today > Items > Tick PointUI Home2
- Once PointUI has started go to Menu > Customize > Change theme - Apply PointSense theme.
- Go to applets window, remove all current applets you don't want and add PointSense applets.
