The star you mentioned opening a menu with 'Items' on top is the task manager. Try running a couple apps, don't close them, and open that menu again...I bet you will see a couple items in it!!

For caller ID, I use S2U2 for caller pics, but I haven't seen one for texting yet.

Nope. I have the player playing.....nothing.
Do I need to associate the button with an action as I have had to do with the navigator button? Or is it automatically mapped to show running apps? If it shows running apps, then isn't it essentially just the Task Manager? As someone else suggested to do, I have the first click of my camera button mapped to the Task Manager because of the problem with apps not closing.

Update: Turns out that button is the My Menu button listed in the Mobile Shell->Advanced Tab. If I associate it with Task Manager, the Task Manager does come up - but only as an item that I can then click on to see open apps. The button does not automatically show open apps on it's own.

----------------

BTW: You've been quite helpful. Where do I send the coffee? I live in the Seattle area and have access to some fairly powerful stuff.

Re: Thinking of installing SPB Mobile Shell
Mine was automatically a task manager so I never questioned it, I think it is kinda cool and don't mind having to hit it occasionally...I have found most of my apps to have quit functions anyway!!

I am playing around with the menu's and you can really mess your screen up with the settings LOL!!! I am trying to get rid of a misc. navigation icon (it shows on the program screen where it should and on the NOW screen almost on top ot the task manager star LOL)!!

Good...now if you like, we can see what can be done about getting things running correctly (unless you decided Shell just isn't for you)!!

Re: Thinking of installing SPB Mobile Shell
ya' huh... and just how much system memory do you have left...? You might find you have far better - if you were to reload all programs to load from the My Storage "drive" folder, than from Main Memory. I know this worked for me.

Re: Thinking of installing SPB Mobile Shell
Hey Phantom27, I looked over your apps list and found some cool stuff! The first I downloaded was the Youtube app - Nice!
General question: After looking over the video from Google concerning the pocket PC version of Google Maps.....would I even need VZ Navigator anymore? It looks like it does the same thing - including finding my location...

Re: Thinking of installing SPB Mobile Shell
I have to agree with Image911 with where to install your apps Phantom27!! I don't even recognize some of them, but that is quite the list!! I have most of my apps in My Memory!! The only ones I have on my device either don't give a choice, or I don't trust not to crash running from memory!! On my previous list I omitted Watcher and PocketCM as being on my device. Shell keeps running at all times, but I am looking foe a SPBWatcher-type- app to keep PocketCM running as well...but that is a story for another thread LOL!!!

If you feel daring, I would start fresh, clean everything up, install device apps first (from your list, I think your device will look like mine...A_C's 3, Shell + Watcher) I think everything else is safe from your My Memory (except possibly the PocketCM Keyboard)!!!

Re: Thinking of installing SPB Mobile Shell
Another question:

If I can't have SPB Mobile Shell then I gotta have that background, the dark windows one with the clouds and field with the windows symbol.

Anybody know how to extract it?
