New theme for SPB Mobile Shell

[keithdupont]

Thank's to naong for the original skin - this a mod to Mtstmp's mod to Naong's MobileSense theme. No memory leak with this.

Alt Backgrounds in the second download - copy the vp_bkg_now.dat file to the spb mobile shell directory and soft reset.

Sweet. No memory leak?! I uninstalled Mobilesense for that reason. With my basic MS 3.5.3 I run around 51%

Do I copy just the *.dat file or the .jpg as well? New to adding my own backgrounds but this is GREAT!

Just the .dat the .jpg is for you to use for lockscreen and also preview what it looks like.

Found this new Custonization for Mobile Shell 3.5 gives 7 pages instead of 5. Tried it out seems to work fine


From the developer:
Note (Changing Custom Backgrounds on Pro Screen and other screens):
To change the Pro Background, rename the file to qa_fundotela.dat and copy to SPB Mobile Shell folder.
To change Background on the other screen (except Lifestyle and Pro) rename the file to qa_fundotela2.dat and copy to SPB Mobile Shell folder.
Always restart Mobile Shell after copying for it to take effect.

Do the following to make your own custom background dat file.
1. Rename any of the custom backgrounds in the zip file to qa_fundotela.zip
2. Unzip to a folder using the password: b0fm18zq
3. Make 2 backgrounds to use as follows:
For QVGA version (240x400 saved as Background.bmp and 400x240 saved as BackgroundL.bmp)
For VGA version (480x800 saved as Background.bmp and 800x480 saved as BackgroundL.bmp)
4. Move the 2 new background files into the folder you made in step2 (overwriting the originals)
5. Zip the 3 files back up with password protection (using password: b0fm18zq)
6. Rename the new file to qa_fundotela.dat (for pro screen) or qa_fundotela2.dat (for all others) and copy to your SPB Mobile Shell folder on your phone (overwriting the original)
7. Soft Reset your phone

Note 1: You might have trouble changing the background on the lifestyle screen. A solution provided by Degavi is to first select the image you want then go in to the spb mobile shell folder and delete the background.dat file. Restart mobile shell and your desired image will appear.

Note 2: To Backup your screens layout for future restoration. Using a Registry Editor export the (HKLM, Software, SPB Software House 2, SPB Mobile Shell, Widgets) Folder. It will back up all 7 screens and your SPB favorites contacts. BEFORE restoring your registry backup, delete the previous registry folder so there is no chance of anything being left that could interfere with your restoration.

The customization utility is free and should run on most devices with SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 installed.

There are a couple of tutorials floating around on how to do it. Look at xda in the spb mobile shell 3.5 thread. The file is called wallpaper.bmp and it is located inside the vp_bkg_now.dat file.
