Just brought and installed SPB Mobile Shell

joe.stay · #1 (**permalink**) 10-30-2010, 02:20 AM

Is there a way to change how the agenda/calender display? For example, can I make it so that it shows like 5 upcoming events/agenda with the whole month calender displayed?

Also, what else can I do with SPB mobile shell?

I dont' have SPB so I can't answer your question, I just wanted to know you felt about it, does it make the phone seem faster?

I actually just bought it yesterday. I flashed mine with Maverick's Mobile Shell Rom and was *that* impressed that I actually paid for it. I have used a bunch of roms and this one was quick, fluid motions, easily customizable, attractive layout (I friggin' hate the flip clock), and good battery life.

CHT isn't as fast or memory friendly. I tried to run it but gave up after a week.

You will not regret it. SPB does make the phone much faster and the best thing is that it will probably not suffer the lockup that Sense makes you experience. I've taken out Sense on my wife and my phone and we are very happy with our TP2.

now to answer your question.. Yes you can display more than 2 items. go to your calendar and click on the menu button on the bottom right corner; it will pop up the settings button. click on that and you can manipulate that however you want. Hope this helps.. Oh and if you ever get tired of the main screen look, check this out....

It does make the phone seem faster to me. It's more responsive than the sense UI. I only brought it since I saw a promotional code for 50% off so I got it for $15 instead of $30. It does have some features that I like, such as: soft reset icon, lock icon on home page, phone profile on home page, and the lifestyle and professional page. Again, it does seem faster and uses less ram. Before, after I soft reset, I had about 80 ram available. After installing SPB, I have 100 ram available now.

Thanks hypeo for that link.

tp2 especially 6.5 without spbms is just junk. 3/4 users with a tp2 experience a good amount of problems ime.

wm in general is junk. combine with a poor ui of sense only amplifies this problem. my iphone is 100x more reliable, but with spbms, its only 10x more reliable.

to do this, basically, you have two agenda widgets, one to show only appointments and the other to show only the calendar

"operator error" is used way too liberally in this forum.

when you get an sod for answering your phone, it's not user error. When you get sod you receive email, it's not user error. Have you ever used an iphone? Those things rarely crash. The original 2g iphone runing ios 3 is an infinitely more smoother machine than the tp2 will ever be, overclock included.

sure, it cant do as much, but if reliability matters, it's the best. Windows mobile has always been buggy trash.
