Re: Thinking of installing SPB Mobile Shell

What player is that? I use S2P, and that takes over the full screen with large controls.
Downloaded SPBWatcher via thedumbkid on forum.xda developers. It works but your comment was correct: It really needs a toggle to Today to make it complete.

The player: Touch Player that came w/Omnia. It is far better than Win Media but it doesn't have the EQ like Pocket Player I was using on trial. Pocket Player also has just about every imaginable configuration possibility. But...it is also big & expensive....hmmm.
I did try the S2P but it doesn't have an EQ either and it seems like it would be more fully utilized if I had all the album art since the paging of the albums seems to be an important factor in it's "wow-ness". I have very little album art. Perhaps I'll give it another shot....but I'm still not sold on slide 2 unlock either. Not sure what real advantage is since I can lock and unlock my phone in 2 seconds without it .....and with it I find myself fat fingering the slider all the time. (My wife just got a new Saga and LOVES the slider)

I'll try the skins now.

Question:
How to more customize the NOW page?? Or is what I see, what I get?
