Hi all,
You absolutely need to have a look at this plugin... beautifull?
I am testing the evaluation version and it works great !!!

i've puschased it.very funcionally plugin for me
Tried it, didn't like it....
you cant beat Wisbar advance desktop, FANTASTIC!
I use it.
It is great, as it makes the icons very 'finger friendly', and you can quickly navigate to programs or system settings.
IMO, it really is the most practical plugin - not just looks good, but functional and easy to use
Now this is excately what I´ve been looking for!! Really great app! Finally an app that makes one hand navigation on the touch screen possible in a very good way! Really good, and I really really recomend it to everyone who has a pocket pc!
Great!!
great plugin.
i use it for severl months. works great.
i've tried wisbar advanced and i don't like it.
How i can customize Home Tab icons?

Agreed, Mobile Shell is awesome and given the customisation that's happening in the Dev section of this forum even better.

Hi Deedee.
Any chance you could post some links to some particular examples? I know if I looked for a while I could probably stumble across them, but I'm at work!
Thanks,
Mattster.
I have to agree that its a great piece of software, I have used the previous version and have just upgraded yesterday to the 2.1. I'm now able to uninstall the HTC home plugin and use this solely.
My biggest annoyance with it is that you cannot edit the website where you source the weather updates, however I have now installed SPB weather which enables me to specify my weather source.
Whenever I flash a new Rom I always make sure that this is one of the first programs added.

Interesting how this thread has been revived!
I'm often tempted to go for the HTC look, I like the large clock digits, but for functionality and ease of use I generally decide to stick with Spb.
Manindesert, what's your preferred ROM at the moment then?
Manindesert:
Just seen in your signature "FInixNOver WWE 6.1 Ver. 3.2 Light".... not tempted to go for the 3.4 light upgrade then? I'm nearly tempted to flash from Mary to FInix but am so happy with my device as it is at the moment! Plus I'd lose my Tomtom speed camera use (due to change in device code after flashing". What do you reckon?

Not sure about examples per se but here's links to the threads concerned, they are long but there are some nuggets in there:
Development sub-forum
General 2.1 Customisation
NiteStalkers Themes
There may be others but that's the ones i can find quickly.

Thanks Deedee.
I'm sitting at work shattered and dying because I spent last night trawling through the first 200 pages of 2.1 themes and development! The whole diamond theme thread for example was interesting, but the theme itself didn't appear till page 125 or something!
Lots of interesting stuff, but for every tweak or theme offered there seems to be a problem or issue that needs solving. I think I've decided I am too much of a "If it aint broken don't try and fix it" type of person for half of the threads. If anything went wrong with my phone, I would have to drop everything in my life until it was fixed!
All I'm debating now is whether to flash Fixinover's 3.4 lite rom as it apparently has a fix in it for the issue in Mary's Rom where the device code changes and passwords are lost after a soft reset. But I'm still resisting as there always seem to be extra reg edits and cabs to download after flashing a cooked ROM due to issues that people discover!

Here's the flash menu ported from Samsung i718, Its very cool & working nice on my touch.
tHANKS!! I've got a couple of friends with i718's and always thought the menu was slick. Great job and thanks again!
very nice, well done working great on my hermes
So we must have flash player installed on our device prior using this application?
nope no flash player. it seems to be an actual app

i dono yet. found this over at Ipmart yesterday though. I tossed it on my touch and my brothers mogul and its sweet. Even my mom was able to navigate WM6 once we showed her this. I'm sure someone will find out how to edit it real soon. Possible skins anyone???
Nice find!
i find that the i718 or something like that, looks really a lot like the shadow,
maybe tmobile copied it
o, and by the way, nice find, but the launcher doesnt look like like the ones ive seen one the phone
I've read a few sites on this phone now and the opinion varies a bit. One place I found that was good for expert reviews and real life opinion on the Samsung SGH I718 even had a few photos and the like which i found helpful. Hope that helps others that landed here doing their own research:->
This is HEX-edit job not a regeistry job.
windows\launcher.exe can be HEX editet for customizing.

Some Questions
Some link in this interface haven't a workings properly, How I can solve this problem?
love this app, just wish i could customize it, or even just get rid of the dead links. would love just to have the messaging and favorites pages.
Yeah.. I'd really like to add my own menus to this.
Guys,
Anyone tried the above found in the Rom Development Section of this forum?
How is the feedback and is it worthwhile to use this ROM instead of the default WM6.1 R2AA?
awesome
i am trying it now and its just great!
coul be a little slow in some places but i have never had to soft reset for any reason i didnt invoke . its surprisingly stable and compatible with everything. i was even able to sync with activesync and also my emails even though ppl complained about these 2 issues.
Best thing abt 6.5 is its user friendlyness (honeycomb) and that its way more finger friendly than 6.1 (kinetic ihphone like scrolling EVERYWHERE - even in programs,,,, and larger better looking buttons also EVERYWHERE!!)
be sure to flash hardspl first and enjoy this great ROM!!

If I want to flash back the stock ROM, does that mean that I need to download the stock ROM image from the HardSPL thread and do the same image updating.
After it has been updated then update the ROM via SEUS to the latest R2AA ROM?

Hey fellow Singaporean
I'm using the itje's 6.5 Rom. I love it. Prefer Titanium than the TouchFlo. Though I wished WinMo would've put an options on how to view the menu. I prefer normal grid alignments than the honeycomb. But all in all, love the rom.

I found out that there is the battery indicator bug as it is not updating the status from the battery so decided to go back to original R2AA ROM first.
Why do we need a separate thread to discuss this? I've suggested a potential fix for the battery bug in the official thread...

Sorry for the duplicate thread as I am trying to gather some response and help from those who have installed the same ROM.
I have reply you back for the location of the battery indicator fix?
Ahh I had it but I kinda hated it...
Its laggy everywhere and I really really hope that Microsoft won't release the OS as it is.
I'm changing back to nX1i 1.04...
It seems this has now been officially released. The build is 6411. I tried but I can't find any differences between this and the leaked build.....but then again it was working fine for me with no issues.
Has anyone else seen any improvements?
You can get the trial from here:

I found the different is... when I install this new version on my x1. The 3D accelerator option disappear.

I think it's gone completely....that either means it is no longer hardware accelerated or it's autodetect as not ALL devices will support it.

the only differences i have found is that the x button now works without it freezing the handset and that its a bit quicker and smoother. but have not found anything else which is a shame as i was expecting more from the offical release compared to the beta (what now seems like a near final release with one or 2 bugs to iron out).
I will try the new version and hope it will fix my Facebook via Wifi and X Button freeze bug. But like I understood Ganondolf the x button works fine what is absolutely an improvement.
Can't access Facebook...Oh boy : (

mine fires up when i hit the today screen panel. kind of convenient for me.
ok so my first imptrssion: its awesome! has the look of cupcake (sorta) cool widgets and super slick interface.. glad the panel button wrks again
did have a few probles with the shell, seemed rather slugish if u wanted to switch back to today or exit the shell and restart it, seemed to take a while. also... anyone else notice if u added any widget regaurding the camera it did nothing.. wouldnt open at all im using R3a camera tho.... couldnt change icons at all... which is rather annoying considering the features pocket plus 4 gives u for adding/changing icons and their names..... i uninstalled due to the speed of the shell and the inconvience of the icons and widgets ..... i hope they make sum tweaks .... such a beautiful shelll. and very finger friendly
ok. P.S. and... does anyone know if you can add today plugins like widgets? this would be awesome too add google search as a widget... couldn't figure out how... thus why i reverted back to just plain old pocket plus...
just a few tweaks and it'd be perfect!!!!
yea...tried it for about a day, and i think i am going to uninstall it now. It amazed me at first, but i think the old combination of pocket plus and today plugin already does the job for me anyway...
the facebook integration here feels pretty useless too....
i have a small problem with this one.
Since i have installed spb3 , when i make a call, it automatically opens tomtom.
It is very annoying.
Anybody got the same problem?
And how did you fix it?
Thanks.
It seems that I can't add any programs of my own choice in the predetermined categories of the launcher (Internet, Tools, etc.) or add my own category. Or am I missing something? This is what made Mobile Sheel 2.x interesting and customizable. If this option really is gone I think it's a weird choice.

All these changes can still be made. Adding/Deleting from the default menus needs a registry key added per folder. Subfolders can only be created in the registry at the moment. I don't really use this much but I imagine (so I don't know for sure!) that the GUI will have this functionality added in future releases.

But the old version had this option as a regular function (the menu button in tab Advanced)! It seems weird that in a new version one is forced to revert to editing the registry.
Spb Mobile Shell 3
Works fine on my X1, apart from multimeadia. None of the camera links launch the camera application. Anyone else found this problem
Here's something for those who are perhaps coming over from the iPhone. You'll probably be more at ease with your device!
By the way, for the record, I just made this for fun, thinking that there are people who actually appreciates this sort of theme. I use my other theme more regularly. Please don't flame me with Apple-fanboy comments!
Note: This cab does not include the taskbar, and 1% battery driver. You may find them at the links provided. Credit to Chainfire, InsecureSpike
Instructions:
1. Install cab
2. At the soft-reset prompt, tap cancel.
3. Disable and re-enable TF3D to see the changes.
If don't like it, just uninstall. Disable and re-enable TF3D. Back to normal.
Meh, You make great stuff dude..
I use your V1.4 TF3D.. btw I'm curious about something..
Shouldn't the "Mail" and "Messages" icon be replaced with one another ?
Seems like the (a) is more suited for E-mail.. xD
Ha! I like your V1.4 TF3D more..... iphone icons?? Don't think so.... that is the reason why I bought my TP2... and not putting iphone stuff on my TP2.

Still trying myself to get this theme thing down, Still getting all kinds of white blotches on my screen which is pissing me off but good work on the apple theme although I do hate apple still looks nice.
Wow, no love for this theme...
The download count must have set some sort of record low for most unpopular theme or something.
Don't things too hard! I love parts of your other theme, elements of that I am using on my own theme for the communications and settings tab.
Since this thread is a bit quieter, could you answer a couple of questions?
I've been using Manila Editor v.0.2 to build my theme, which is a bit trial and error since most of the manilla files are listed as unknown (eg, the program doesn't know what icon they represent) but does give you a preview of the file and allows you to change it. What do you use?
What is the correct protocol for posting a theme containing elements from others work? EG my theme would have your communications, settings (and dammit, more fiddling, now the volume part of settings! But thanks for the effort.) Should I ask each person if it's ok for me to share, post but with credits and links to the original theme or what?
Thankyou for going the extra mile on your themes and customising parts that others haven't. It really makes a difference when the phone doesn't just go back to the standard look once you leave the main pages.
Hey Steve, thanks for the consolation, I feel much better...haha!
Now, regarding your queries...
I've used Manila Editor before...back in the days when I was first bought my Touch Diamond and people were just starting to figure out how to edit manila files. But I've always found it really difficult to use and (like you said?) a lot of the files are categorized as "unknown". All in all, this app is pretty outdated and I don't believe it's being developed anymore.
I use Chainfire's great tool, CFC-GUI. Try it out. It should be quite easy to figure out for you.
I don't know if there's even a protocol (per se) in place for creating themes containing parts of other user's themes. I suppose it's ok if all authors are happy with it. I'll be perfectly happy with you just linking back to my theme's thread.
very good,wo like it!!!
The "OMG, I can't believe this actually worked on my T-Mobile USA HD2!" Discussion.
So, quite recently on Twitter, I've been informing my followers of things I've tried, managed to accomplish, and/or various ideas on tweaks that I'd like to attempt in the future.
Now, with that in mind...
I'd like to present this thread as an open-discussion topic, to further the common knowledge of everyday users and "1337 h4xz0Rz" alike.
Please, feel free to share a "success story" of something you've managed to make possible on your HD2. Whether it be a registry tweak, theme, custom ROM, or various modifications... be sure to offer as much detailed information as you can, allowing other users to perhaps share in the same experiences.
More-or-less, this is where TESTS, TRIAL-RUNS, and COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS will meet in terms of what CAN and simply CANNOT be done... SAFELY on our devices.
hmm well it wasn't very "1337" but I was pretty happy that I could edit the registry to make TouchTwit blink the LED when I get mentions/msgs.

1) Open registry editor
2) Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications
3) There will be a lot of GUID entry folders. Find the one that corresponds to the notification you want to alter. When you open the folder, the (Default) value, if set, is the name of the notification that corresponds to the control panel value.
4) Change AvailableOptions from 11 to 15
5) Hit start->settings->Sounds & Notifications->Notifcations
6) Scroll to the notification type you just changed (for me, "TouchTwit: Mentions")
7) The box "flash light for [x]" will no longer be greyed out
Great find. Definitely worth mentioning. This is the kind of stuff we need on here. Thanks for the submission.
reignzone- I would like to know if it is possible to increase the vibe alert intensity on the TmoUS HD2? I did a search and was not able to find anything. I switched from a Razr V3 which had a strong vibe alert. Also, I successfully flashed to HSPL2 and just waiting for a stock rom to flash new rom. Thanks
Can anyone walk me through dumping my stock TmoUS rom so I can post it here which will provide everyone a way to revert to shipped rom?

Well, in terms of vibration intensity... that is usually application specific. The system vibration alerts cannot really be tampered with as far as I know. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. There are applications, "modded" applications that provide various system tweaks that can alter the vibration... but not too many of them are focused on something so "simple" as vibrating alerts.
As for a system dump, that would be excellent. Post in a few other threads in this area, and I'm sure you'll find people that would be glad to assist you in providing that for us all.

Good stuff guys. Again, thanks for additional feedback.
As for Dusk, yes... I've taken quite a few bits and pieces from that theme and used it on my STOCK build. For instance, the retractable slider themed with Dusk features.
I'm so glad we're finally moving this T-Mobile USA forum along now, it needs more attention from the EURO threads.

I don't mean to toot my own horn here, but I just installed and tested quite literally, every transparent home tab slider from the guys at PPCMods.
And needless to say, each one of them worked, flawlessly. Also, they all look just gorgeous. But after testing "the look" of most all of them... I fell in love with the Colorful Stickers icons. Simple, HUGE, and great design.
Finally, the clock fonts are phenomenal as well... check those out too.
