Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 
Just installed the new build.
No problems.
I can live with the screen rotation delay because the functionality is so amazing.

Anyone else notice that if you use a background picture that is larger than your screen resolution, when you switch screens in the lifestyle view (horizontally) it scrolls to reveal the rest of the picture?
=)

Love this thing so much.

Isn't that the professional layout? How did you even get the option to add a widget? (I get that only in lifestyle).. and where did you navigate to get that widget?

Change HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Spb Software House 2\Spb Mobile Shell\Widgets\HomeScreen\PageCount value to number of screens. Currently I'm using 5 screens, and works fine.


Soft reset required.

Also, how can I get to the full weather screen by clicking on the weather icon? Because everytime I click on the weather icon, it goes to the empty SPB weather screen.

The only way I can get to the full weather screen by doing the left softkey 3D cover flow.

I ran it on Silence, KK & MightyROMs and worked great on all those ROMs

Oh great, bug bug. I have PocketLastFM.NET installed, and after running it, it leaves the software keyboard softkey hanging in the bottom center of MS3. The only thing that fixes it is a switch between layouts.

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 
Downloaded and tried the official version today. I did like sliding the screen up and down between the two screens and the widgets.
I also like how the contacts are handled - except that I would have liked it better, if I could've done a screen slide to see more info. Address, phone numbers other than the main 2, category, bday, notes etc. To see those, you have to use the native outlook.
There's other things I didn't like:
No integration between other SPB products (like finance balances) etc.
The UI is only skin deep. I would have like it better if for new appointment, contact etc. it would've utilized a finger friendly quick input screen instead of pulling up the WM screens that you can only use with the stylus.

All in all, I went back to TF3D & SecondToday, which serves all my needs.

I really like this and of course there could be improvements. Thats why I love PPC geeks because I know the people on here will make this a much better app after tinkering with it. Give it time.

I like the professional layout so I just used the widgets to get the professional layout look on the lifestyle screen. I added just a couple of extras that I wanted on the lifestyle screen. Really all I wanted extra on the lifestyle screen was the wireless settings.

To do this, right soft menu-->Add Widget-->Application-->Messaging-->Messaging

Make sure when you go the settings-->SPB Mobile Shell-->Integrations that the SPB Weather is set to No if you don't want SPB Weather to be used. If no it defaults to the Weather app built into SPB Mobile Shell.

I just installed this and so far I'm blown away. I think I might be ditching TF3D once and for all.

I am quite impressed. HTC should hire the spb team. The interface is clean. I really enjoy it.

Have a question? Does anyone know how I can add a task program as a quick launch on the professional screen?

Thanks

I don't think you can. Another gentleman modified his lifestyle screen to make it look just like the professional screen and he succeeded. He did it so he could add the Wireless Manager widget to it while not losing the professional appeal.

Sorry if it`s been covered upthread, but I had the ChangeSkin package for MS2 and the poop hit the fan when I installed MS3. Ended up having to do my first hard reset. Not a big deal, but I`m sure as hell not installing the skins pack! I`ll see what MS3 has for me, and hope S2U2 works properly.

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 
I haven't tried this out myself, but I saw this in Modeco:

SPB Menu: Here's how to unlock the SPB Menu so you can add and remove links as you wish.
Navigate to: HKLM>Software>Spb Software House 2>Menu>Root
In there you will find folders that correspond to the menu items in the SPB Menu. E.G: Internet
You need to go into the folder and add a DWORD value called "Add" with the value of "1".
Once this is done, go to SPB Menu and open the Menu Catagory. Click the options button (bottom right) and you will see 3 new buttons.

or:

Another tip for customising the launcher. If you want to create another folder in that bottom right blank space:

- Go to HKLM\Software\SPB Software House 2\SPB Mobile Shell\Menu\Root\
- Create a new key called whatever you want your new folder to be.
- Copy the contents of the 'My Shortcuts' key into the one you just created
- Change the value of the 'Text' string to be the name of the folder.

Changing the 'Index' value changes which position in the grid the folder appears (0 is top left, 8 is bottom right). The 'Image' value will change the icon as follows:
0 = Toolbox
1 = Phone with envelope
2 = Globe
3 = Calendar
4 = Shortcuts
5 = Program Folder
6 = Camera and clapperboard
7 = Cog/Spanner



You can also rename any of the existing folders by going to that same key and changing the 'Text' string in the relevant key. You don't have to rename the key itself but may want to for consistency.

I knew I had this one somewhere, and I use it for assigning SMS to PocketCM:

Navigate to:
HKLM>Software>Microsoft>Shell>Rai>:MSINBOX

Change key labeled 1 to you SMS-Chat exe.
e.g: "\Program Files\VITO\SMS-Chat\SMSChat.exe"
Note: Dont forget the "", they are important.
Restart and try.

+1 WMP sucks big time...

Also, do you guys notice that your device randomly wakes up all the time with Mobile Shell 3? My Touch Pro wakes up ALL THE TIME and I think it really drains the battery.

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 
I think it would be cool if they could Intigrate the Contacts Carousel and a Pictures Carousel together.....so maybe there would be a couple buttons at the bottom "Contacts" and "Pictures" and the Carousel Switches to the prespective folder, then opens the picture in a picture viewer when you tap a picture....I also really like the "Draw a circle with your finger" to zoom into that area, feature in TF3D's picture app.

The facebook contact feature is the only thing i have been unable to get working either on WiFi, Contract Internet or Contract WAP.

It always comes up failed to connect, even though i can view the web and update any other app that requires a connection.

Was this question ever answered? Because I am having the same issue, and I cannot find an answer to it.

Thanks in advance for any help.

It was answered, and the answer is that you CANNOT run both without an additional program called TF3D Detacher...someone posted it a few posts ago. Look and you shall find. :evil4:

I'm running both without the detacher all i did was exit mobile shell and TF3D started right up. After that I just restarted mobile shell and bam! I could switch back and forth. (since I added spb home soft key on the right)

:headbang:Yeah, Metalmayhem is correct. I was doing this when Spb 3 leak was first posted and used it with the RSTG Rhodium 15 rom. But now RSTG stepped up the game and he has made (2) kicka** rom's using Spb 3-(1) for the Diamond and (1) for the Touch Pro.
