This is a fun app that gives your Instinct the appearance of that “other” phone. Unlike some other phone “tricks” that are simply video clips, this application is actually functional software.
Buy it Now – $1.99
Supported Phones: Instinct (m800), Instinct S30 (m810)
iClone acts as a pseudo-user-interface by presenting a different screen that looks nearly identical to that of the “other” phone that starts with the letter i. All of the buttons actually function, although not all of them function in the most desirable way (due to lack of documentation from Sprint). The date and day-of-week on the calendar icon update to match the current date. You can return to this app when exiting some of the choices with the left arrow button; other choices will exit iClone and not return. See the list below for the actual function of each button.
This version adds haptic feedback, more button actions, and an actual working dialer screen.
Just to be perfectly clear, this will NOT turn your phone into an iPhone, it will NOT let you run other iPhone applications, it will NOT replace your phone’s user interface.
It’s just a way to have a little fun with your phone!
Enter your number below and select your network.
Functions
- The phone button brings up a fully functional built-in clone dialer. It can be used to dial calls, and back arrow returns to the main screen. The menu tabs at the bottom of the dialer are not enabled.
- The SMS, calendar, navigation, calculator and email buttons work well with the Instinct’s built-in apps. If you exit those applications with the back arrow, control will return to iClone.
- The camera button will open the camera, but you cannot return to iClone.
- The photos button opens picturemail – that’s the closest we can get without better documentation from Sprint.
- The Youtube, stocks, weather, Safari and iPod buttons open the phone’s browser with youtube, cnnmoney, wunderground, google and instinct-software.com respectively. You cannot return to iClone after opening the browser
- The clock, notes and settings buttons are not functional.
- None of the bottom tabs on the dialer screen are functional.
Some functions, such as email, will only work on Sprint phones, and not on Canadian versions of the Instinct
The portions that do not function are due to lack of documentation from Sprint and cannot be fixed until Sprint releases more information on the phone.

This is a very nicely made app. I appreciate how many of the buttons actually work without issue with the Instinct’s native apps.
However, since this recent MR, why not an updated version to make this one more extensive a la the Windows Mobile App?
Like more functionable buttons and an option to add apps and change their icons, etc. Is there anything like this in the works or planned?
Thanks.

Thanks for your comments. Regarding the possible changes, all of those features and many more are available in KBui, the followon to iClone.

Hi! I rly love this app. But i recently downloaded the KBui app and noticed that it has much more functionality, like the icons can be rearranged, you can slide to a separate page of icons, the music button can go to the music app, you can load opera mini…etc. Will there be an update that will an update to this app that will allow us to do all of that?

Dumb question, but how do I go back into this app? I have the instinct and cannot find it anywhere.

On the Fun tab – tap the Games/Apps button – scroll down until you find it. If you add it to your Favorites it’s much easier to find

I was going to suggest the same thing as c.lowe0
I think it sucks that sprint wont release documentation.
Regardless, the app is still pretty cool.
I do have a question tho, I am not a developer myself, nor do I even know much basic programming, but sometime in the future, would it be possible for you to redo this application so it has similar functionality as the “favorites” menu, in that you can add whatever apps you want and be able to drag the icons around?
That would be awsome :^D

Thank you for this cool little application. I do have a few suggestions for improvement (unless mine just doesn’t work properly). For some buttons, I have suggested ideas that would seem to work better.
Photos- go to My Photos section of the phone instead of photo messaging.
Stocks- go to News application instead of the web (cnn money).
Weather- go to the Weather application instead of the web weather.
Clock- go to the Clock section of the phone instead of nothing.
Notes- go to the Notes section of the phone instead of nothing.
Settings- go to the Setting section of the phone instead of nothing.
iPod- go to the Music section of the phone instead of the web.
Please let me know if there is a way to update the application as changes are made, since I’ve already purchased the app from you guys. Thanks soooo much!

Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately, since Sprint has not released any documentation on how to access clock, notes, photos, settings and many other functions, I cannot make any of those changes. If Sprint eventually releases that information, an update will be made available.

KB is it possible to donate enough money to you guys, so you can get the proper documentation to make better apps. I am sure many people, including myself, would gladly donate to you guys in hopes of better apps.
Sincerely, HH

HH,
Sprint has built a pretty significant barrier of $5000 to join their developer plan. Even then, we don’t know if all the documentation we need would be available. So, it doesn’t really seem reasonable to try and reach that amount through donations, but thanks for the offer.

This really is fun, thanks. Any chance the “Safari” button could be made to launch Opera Mini?

Hey, i have a question….probably directed at KB…IF i buy this for the price do i have to re-spend more money when a new version/update comes out? IF so…I wont mind as much because im sure you spent time learning how to program just as i spent time at work to earn the money and thats what business is so id understand id just rather not have to spend more money. Just let me know

Hi Balian,
Updates to this app will be free to purchasers for up to 6 months. However, updates depend on Sprint releasing more documentation, so it does not seem likely that there will be any updates.
