Rom with SPB Mobile Shell?

mikebbass · #1 (**permalink**) 03-19-2010, 09:03 AM

Would it be possible to get a rom with the latest version of SPB Mobile Shell built in? Unregistered of course, I am not trying to rip off SPB. If I could figure out the whole kitchen thing I would try myself put I am pretty sure I would brick my phone.

Thats the way I run it. No sense. MS works fantastic on NRG's no sense roms. Very quick. It leaves more ram for other things as well since sense the big ram hog is no where on board. Try it.
As for cooking a rom with MS in, I've tried some with my tp2 from several months ago and thought that MS seemed to work alot better when installed seperatley as an app. But def without sense or tf3d. This has been my $.02

What is your startup memory running MS3 on titanium? Prior to unlocking, I always used MS over tf3d (even though it did lag a bit when I had several pages enabled).

I really like Sense 2.5 on NRG's 2354X roms, but I would consider going back to MS depending on the available memory.

Timely discussion since I use MS as well.

Ive installed the ROM's w/Sense just so I have the option to use it. I assumed that simply disabling (ie select Date, Windows Default, etc. theme) means just that so no add'l resources other than device storage is in use. Is that not the case? Are their vestiges of Sense in use and wasting program memory after its disabled (other than the Menus)?

I'm no expert, but it has been my observation that by unticking sense in the startup menu and then soft resetting I see a big increase in available ram, so it would seem that you can have your cake and eat it to. I've just grown to dislike the issues associated with sense so I'd prefer it not occupying any space at all. IMHO mobile shell pounds sense into the ground for functionality and leaves your device with more ram.

On a fresh boot I have about 93mb free ram. I watch what I've got open and use the shell's taskman to cloase stuff as needed.

FWIW: just a personal observation. On my tp2 which is currently loaded with the oem verizon 6.1 rom(love it)I get 129mb on a fresh boot, uber speedy and with the tf3d option unticked. This using pocket plus not ms. I find ms uses about 8 to 10 mb to run.

From this I conclude that 6.5 uses more ram than 6.1 by about 35mb or so, just to exist.

Sense is great eye candy but imo thats it.

I'm running the Energy Titanium 21895 build and installed SPB Mobile Shell on it. I love it and haven't had any lag issues with it. I disabled the Titanium plug-in on the Today screen and so far it's awesome. I've always preferred SPB MS3 over the TF3D interface and it's even better now!

I too am running spb mobile shell 3 on the same rom as you are, I just wish that spb would offer more cities to choose from.. mine isn't in the list and the closest one two that are listed are like 30 miles one way and 50 miles the other.. why can't they offer every city on the map? but anyway.. loving it.. thanks NRG...

Have you tried spb weather? It integrates with ms very nicely. It might have your city. It has some that surprise me.
