Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 

yep it is not there. You installed over version 2 of the shell?

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 

To change the Opera listing there are 2 ways, the easy way, and the "look I am soo cool that I edited the registry" way. I used the I'm so cool way, then the easy way came out and I felt like I was no longer special. The problem with opera is that 9.5 beta installs into different directories than the older versions, so MS3 cannot see them. You can change some of this in the registry, but why, just follow the steps below to make it work.

The easy way, find (earlier in this thread) the power toy for editing the menus. Then unzip it, and transfer the .exe file over to your phone. The file does not install, it simply runs when you click on it, so know where you put it. I added it to my tools group in the launcher for future use.

Once you run the power toy program you can then check and uncheck the entries in each menu group, you can add sub-menus and you can add new files to run in the various launcher groups.

For Opera (assuming that you have 9.5 beta) you cannot use the built in opera link (or favorites or history) you can add a "link" to the internet group and then select your Opera install from the list that pops up.

Hope this helps. The instructions to go to SPB settings, and then check and uncheck, is from MS2.1. MS3 has type of feature, ONLY if you use the power toy.

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 

thanks! i'll try it out later tonight, sounds like a good solution. does the screen still show the flicking up or down (to the same screen lol) or does it stay the same like you're not even flicking?

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 

Being that this site is loaded with people flashing their phones every 5 minutes, is there a way that I'll be able to flash and keep my custom Lifestyle Home?

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 

The entire setup is comprised of registry entries. You could export the contents and convert to xml for easy setup...

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 

http://softspb.com/downloads/powertoy/PowerToy_v0.1.zip
just extract the menu editor from that zip and put it somewhere on your device (i recommend in your mobile shell programs folder). Then just click on it and you'll get the same advanced menu editing page that you had on your old mobile shell where you can add/remove contents. Otherwise, you have to go into your registry and delete that msn link.

Oh and look up the registry hack to be able to add links/files within spb menu categories, then you could add this editor to settings for easy access next time.

Thanks for the links!

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 

The screen flickers a little, because it is re-drawing the screen, but not much. Kinda looks the same as when you scroll up on a page that is at the bottom, and it "bounces".

Over at XDA they have a way to add screens. I am going to try to make a new Pro screen that is just like the old one, only editable, and with side scrolling options. I'll get back to you if it works.

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 

Thanks just tried it and now i won't be switching to pro accidentally. Great idea about having a customizable pro screen. Also, let me know if you figure out how to have only one lifestyle screen, so that there's no flickering if you accidentally flick up/down. What happens if you delete the pro folder?

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 

Is there an easy way to edit or change built in icons? I configured the first panel for Lifestyle Home so it looks just like Professional Home except I added the wireless manager and it just sticks out like a sore thumb. I found that the .dat files in the Program Files folder contain bitmaps that I'm guessing contain icons, but they're password protected. I'm just looking for a more subtle low key icon but I have no idea how I'd assign it to the wireless manager.

The issue I was having was with adding to My Shortcuts, but with this I added more panels to Lifestyle Home so it works just as well, thanks!

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 

Im using spb weather 2.1.1 from their official site and it works well and opens when I click the weather icon but the icon itself shows a question mark in the box and a N/A below.
Could it be cause Im using a custom icon? The square glass lookin one.
I forgot to back up the 3 weather files before replacing them, could someone please zip them up and post em for me?

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 

screen shots of your present case
OK , If I understad it !!
reinstall the program , and you will get it back

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 

When pics for contacts are selected through Facebook integration they won't be remembered if you flash the phone... Agghhh... Looks like I will have to continue to use the built in way... It looks like they don't get imported to outlook... :(

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 

That's strange. Mine synced to outlook just fine. My problem is that if I change the picture through SPB, that person's contact will be at the top of my contacts in outlook. Pretty weird. For Example, Mandy will be above the A's. It will be like that on my phone as well. Mandy is the first contact, even before Adam.

Also, on the manilla favorite tab, the contacts are usually listed alphabetically. However, Mandy is first on the list.

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 

Ok... I just flashed my phone again... I will give it another try then since it is working for you...

I do not have the issue that you mention though...

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 

I'm trying to recreate the professional screen on the lifestyle screen as well. However, I haven't been as close to being successful as you. Getting the digital clock with weather, the indicators for messaging, events for the day - not at all. Some help, please?

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 

Totall offtopic, so apologies.
But do you run Nimbuzz throughout the day on idle, or do you use it only when you need to message someone?

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 

Why is he the only one who gets your PM? :P

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 

I just updated the pic of onr of my contacts using the spb3 facebook integration and the phone through spb shows the new one... Outlook on my laptop after a sync still shows the old one... Looking at the contact in the phone through the stock contacts app also shows the old one... I don't know what might be happening on my phone...

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 

all the time, i use it all day at times, i like sending pictures for free and making ld calls for free. its not a battery hogg if thats your next question. if you want the same pm, ill pm you too.

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 

Yes, seemingly it looked like it was a great battery hog. I just ran it in background to get messages. I don't chat a lot, just want to be available when messaged.

PM ME! lol

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 

How can i get my own background on all pages???

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 

I think the same thing (Also after you make a call it stays on that person)

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 

Well I'm syncing through an exchange server. I would previously sync contacts through my computer, but I found it's easier to just do it all through the exchange server. When I checked outlook on my computer at home, the contact picture had synced...so I know it's working via Exchange server. However, it SHOULD be syncing your way as well. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, was just letting you know how it worked for me.

Yes, I wish it would not bring me back to the person's contact screen after I just call or SMS them. I'm actually getting tired of MS3's lag. You MUST soft reset once during the day b/c the phone just starts coming to a crawl. The landscape lag has to be fixed as well.

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 

press the right soft key on the lifestyle screen, u should see 'change background' on the right side, select that and choose whatever you want to choose

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 

Check your PM, I should be able to give you a hand.

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 

I like this lot better then previous mobile shell only complaint is it takes forever when switching from portrait to landscape mode.

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 

http://rapidshare.com/files/22354709...ds-SPB.3.0.rar coz, more wallpaper for v3 if you wanna put the link in op, that would be good. or not lol

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 

Since this thread has gotten so large, I can't find the where it was that someone showed how to "unlock" the professional widgets (clock, weather, etc) to use with the lifestyle screen. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Also, does anyone know of a way to change the icon of a particular application on the lifestyle screen (like you can do in Pocket Plus) or do I have to change the icon for the actual program itself?

Thanks!

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 

thanks Darren for the wall papers

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 

A lot of work is being put into figuring out your second request. There has been some success, but not quite as flexible as I think it will get to yet (Today plug-ins, custom , and re-directed widgets). But for Pro widgets and to get the low-down on the work so far, I think this thread is among the best so far:

Here is the pro-widget set I got from post 3 in that thread:

all you need to do is google widescreen pda wallpaper, add them into your shell and bingo. I have found a ton of them. Actually to many

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 

syrguy, just dl the cabs to main in that zip?

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 

That is what they are saying. I have heard a lot of people have no problems with it, but also a couple like me that see the options in the widget list, but when we chose the pro widget nothing shows.

So yes, save the appropriate CAB to your device + install. I don't think it even gives a choice of where, but main device would be best anyway I am sure.

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 

you can also move all spb items to sd card using sktools, im going to try it tonight. thanx syrguy!!!

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 

Let us know how that goes (moving the app) I am not sure I would suggest it myself (unless your REALLY strapped for memory) considering how much this app does and how much it basically overtakes the OS, but I am sure a lot of people strapped for memory would love a review of this tweak from someone that acctually tried it!!
