Re: Why use SPB Mobile shell with custom roms out?
I am using Mobile Shell 3.5 but with the stock rom. I had so much trouble with custom roms on my Touch Pro that I decided it just wasn't worth having to reflash every couple of days because either a) something went wrong or b) there was an upgrade and bugfix because the dialer wouldn't respond fast enough, etc... Anyway, I think the new Manila is kind of slick looking but it just doesn't do it for me. Mobile Shell seems much more customizable and more fun to use. Oh, yeah, also the TouchFlo3D that came on the TouchPro would always crash when looking through certain photo albums. I just never had any good times with it. Just saying...

Could you post a screen shot of home page? Is it finger friendly?

I've never been a fan of mobile shell... the screen just looks so jumbled up with all those icons and whatnot.

Re: Why use SPB Mobile shell with custom roms out?
I am using 3.5.1 on the latest MightyROM... Very finger friendly and easy to use.

Why do I use it? I just got the TP2 and I was used to using Mobile Shell on the Touch Pro... Even though I plan to switch back to Sense 2.5 once that is a bit more stable...

Here is a pic of the customized main page:

Re: Why use SPB Mobile shell with custom roms out?
I've always had both ui's onboard(shell+tf3dsense) I switch back and forth when the mood strikes. I like the variety. Whatever the rom I happen to be using. I'd post a pic but it's kinda x-rated.

Re: Why use SPB Mobile shell with custom roms out?
I'm somewhat of a newbie with Mobile Shell 3.5.. .been switching back and forth lately, especially with that new shortcut CAB that was created.

I do like MS 3.5 quite a bit, however the one thing I don;t like is the weather. I like how the weather on the home screen on the SENSE UI/Touch Flo home screen updates automatically based on your GPS location AND is 100 time more accurate than the Mobile Shell weather widget. The MS Weather App also is inaccurate and doesn't provide accurate live temperatures for my location.

Is there another better weather widget app I can add to my Shell home screen that's like the Sense UI? Its the only thing keeping me from completely switching over to Mobile Shell.

Any and all info is truly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
