new spb shell works much better with tp2

[DarkManX4lf]

I tried version 3.5.2 and I couldn't get the weather widget to work and a few other widgets that show up at first install came up blank. Every time I try to set m city in the weather widget it would always hang.

Nevermind, I reinstalled SPB mobile shell and the weather and other widgets now work. Although the gui is really nice and customizable, there are certain things that still make me want to switch bank to sense ui. Like the really sluggish scrolling in the calendar or contacts menu.

Delete all the old stuff from your calendar. If you have a bunch of old appointments in there it can slow it down.

It works fine on WM 6.5 ROMs. WM 6.1 has issues. The issues are minor though. For example, the HTC contacts button doesn't work, but there is an SPB contact button that works just fine. Everything works on WM 6.5 ROMs though.

I've been trying out the trial the past week and I really like it. Seems much faster. I think my battery life is little shorter though, but not a major issue. The Weather Conditions page doesn't seem to work at all...keeps saying "no weather data has been downloaded" and it doesn't seem to work well with any backgrounds aside from the ones that are preinstalled. Not major issues, I'm pretty sure I'll be buying it.

You might need to uninstall and reinstall. I change backgrounds all the time without issue. sometimes I use one of my own pictures, sometimes I download one from the online gallery.

As for the weather- mine did that once, for like an hour. Other than that one hour, my weather has been fine...

Thanks I'll give it a try reinstalling it. If I do that will I loose all my set ups/wigits, etc.?

If you tap launcher, settings, spb mobile shell, then right menu key (bottom right) you can backup and restore settings.

Last time I used mobile shell 3.5.2, it broke the htc finger friendly menu's. Is this still an issue?
