Why use SPB Mobile shell with custom roms out?

when you do a backup you do it with the contact pictures or without?

Not trying to be picky here, but I'd rather have the clock style of the original Verizon rom. I looked at the different skins and didn't see it.

Does anyone know how to program the shell to use that clock style?

That 3rd party task manager (thanks for posting) doesn't appear to pick up all the programs running like the SPB one does. What I mean is i'll open it and it says nothing is running, and then ill use SPB TM and it will list programs like Comm Manager and Active Sync running. I do like the readouts the 3rd party one has though...

Oh well, I can use both I guess.

There are a couple of packages at XDA under Windows Themes that include all types of stuff, that clock included.

cause unlike the htc touch the mobile shell isnt a memory hog and runs fast

I use both Sense and Mobile Shell depending on my mood: http://pocketnow.com/tweaks-hacks/ea...bile-shell-35x

OP, mobile shell lets you customize the layout... with sense, you're pretty much stuck with a given layout. there are themes like max manila, but you're still heavily restricted in what you can do. MS is much easier to customize. Both are sweet! So I use both hehe
