you can also probably get just the scrolling working. dont know if it wouldnt require a mod of the touch.dll though. its like other said. better use the alternatives.

Hi, Can you help me understand please. SPB Mobile Shell, you say works on the Shift...has it been specially written for the Shift, or are you saying any PPC software, will work equally as well on the Shift? I thought the software had to address the different screen sizes of various devices..no?
Thanks in advance.
BTW...I onw a Shift, so i'm dying to know this.

you must try to install different programs, due to the poor memory of the wm side i did not try to install many programs.
opera works fine like on my kaiser, office too, some little game and sprite backup, spbackup, profimail also works well like on the kaiser. others i don't know.
try and try..

the shift has a larger screen but the software does not have to be rewritten for smaller or larger screens.

Hi and thanks for the offer. I've tried to install Advanced Brain Trainer 2, but in refuses to run on my Shift. Is there somewhere online that shows compatible programs that will run OK on this device?
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Iphone-like taskbar

Hi folks,
Is there a way to have exactly this bar permanently on today screen? The pic was taken from an Ifonz screenshot.
I have a Gsmart VGA WM6.0 pro.
I tried Wisbar and other stuff but no way..too heavy and not user friendly at all. The best would be a kinda tsk file or whatever... any help?
Thanx for the great forum..Bye.

The only way to have it permanently there is to use PointUI which has the top bar. Its not quite like the iphone bar, but it has what you need and acts as a task switcher as well as a way to get back to the pointui home screen.
I have asked the developer of the today life program (xml config tool with themes) he is making if he was planning on making a permanent top bar. But he didn't seem to care... such a shame too since it is useful.

Wisbar is the easiest way.
You won't get that without additional software.

Are you sure that PointUi is VGA compatible? I tried it before but it didn't work.

Which version? I believe the latest one is (it may be a seperate cab).

Well, they did a test version in the old 1.02 version. I don't think they ever did anything for their new 1.5 version in vga.
http://forums.pointui.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=862&st=0&sk=t&sd=a
There are some other vga programs listed in that thread that may interest you.

- problem is that this tasbar is much smaler than the original wm6-one.
- also the icons, text, everything is completly different. windows can´t handle this.
- so the only way to get exactly this taskbar is a net application that runnes over windows mobile.
- why should the programmer of todaylife make a new taskbar when he created a complete Gui thats above windows mobile ? funny !
- if you look at my thread (bluephone) you find a todaylife skin with a original iphone taskbar.

I will try PointUi 1.02 alpha and post feedback.
Thanx guys.

Why? He created a complete gui thats above WM, great! But it loses its functionality the moment you open a program and it goes back to the WM interface, top taskbar. I thought it was supposed to be "above" WM? How do you get back to the today life screen?
You even created a skin for today life and I tried it. Sadly, it doesn't feel like a gui replacement for WM when the taskbar changes to the ugly, non functional WM bar.
I don't know anything about programming. But there must be a way to keep that bar at the top. *sigh*

all apps are programmed for the big wm taskbar, even if someone could manage to let a new small iphone tasbar stay on top and hide the original bar, you would have a ugly free space between taskbar and any application. So you want nothing more than programm every available software for windows mobile new
so i can tell you just this two words: Not possible ! believe it or not.

Wisbar. It's pretty easy to make a skin like that, and it's not as heavy as you mention. Give it a second try!

PointUi alpha 1.02:
seems quite fine and fluid on my Gsmart WM6. I only hope it will be developped for VGA devices.
Wisbar:
I'm still not satisfied with Wisbar 3. It eats my ram and freezes the ppc. Not worth keeping it installed.
I'll keep the original WM interface as it is. Only some spb plugins will be kept in wait of some new advice or suggestion from the forum.
Thanx guys for all the enriching posts.
Ciao ciao.

It 'eats' about 300K on my device. I don't find that very much. Many plugins are more hungry.

as Syd159 said. It does not eat too much and I never had freez caused by Wisbar. It is normal app in combination with Ultimate launch (or SBP Pocket plus) you got total "new phone"

yes wisbar do consume lot of RAM and slow down my phone so I did't use it anymore

Imho I think that a today plugin like Gsmart glass can be worth trying. I like the gui and it belongs to Gigabyte (like my device ).
Have you guys tried it? If so is it that good?

can someone please help me! im trying to find a tiny today plugin that shows u ur GSM carrier name/logo ...mine is ROGERS ...just so i know that i have my GSM activated on my today screen!
builtin 'wireless' today item takes up too much space ,plus it displays wifi and bluetooth icons which i don't have a need for
cheers
for example in this pic, where it says Phone Off, i wud b nice if had a rogers logo or some type of Green icon so i know my gsm carrier is ONLINE

I'd suggest something like BatteryStatus (although it has a new name which I have forgotten!) with a skin with just GSM Status.
Also, whilst it's good not having another thread, you're more likely to get an answer in the Questions and Answers sticky.

any developement in this taskbar?

HTC Home plugin on HD

I really miss today plugins and having second today is inconvenient. so would be possible to install old htc home plugin? I read that it completely freezes phone, any solutions?

Have you had a look at Manilla Control? I'm not sure if it's running on the HD (but it runs on the Diamond, so it should be fine) but it lets you have a standard Today screen and Manilla and swap between them with a simple sweep gesture.

Maybe this should help:

Does not work. DO NOT INSTALL it on HD unless you want to hard reset.

Absolutely work PERFECTLY on TIM ITA branded models, maybe you've installed something else wrong

I'm proud to prove what I've posted:

Hello!
I'm using a french version of HTC HD and also looking for HTC Home plugin.
The only one I've got to work have a really to small display.
If I had to hard reset like mcano annouces it I prefer not to try this version!!!!
Is there another solution?

Thanks Vysus , I tried it ...but didn't work on the french HTC HD

Sorry for you, my friend
Maybe you've pre-installed something else that causes a conflict with the plugin. I repeat: it works perfectly, as you can see...

HTC Blackstone TIM ITA: work

Thnx my friend, I thought I was the only one to have it working

Instead you could disable HTC TF3D and use MobileShell 2
It combines both. Features from TF3D and todayscreen plugin with programs/weather/contacts aso. Also it´s skinable. There are skins that are looking quite as tf3d - but much better favorite contacts.
It´s worth a look

SPB Mobile Shell 3

Hi Guys,
I tried to install SPB Mobile Shell 3 (3.0.0 build 6363), but it failed
Anyone tried it yet, or got an other version to work.
They got it 2 work on an Touch HD > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7fBRUwOYUM
And it looks cool and I really want it. Cause I don't like Touch Flow Manilla.

Hi
In my Phone is working just fine
It's a really good software, I'm waiting for the final release to buy it.

I have it and absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE it!
Since I don't know how to flash to the HARDCPL, I figured this is the best way to make the phone look nice

Hi,
I think the commercial version of SPB Mobile shell 3 is available from today (21st April).
I just have a question for the SPB Mobile shell users (any version) -
After installing this, do we have the option to switch back to the original HTC touchflo screen (Manila 2D)? Not just by uninstalling mobile shell, but an option in the home screen selector settings to switch back and forth between touchflo and mobile shell?

I have SPM Mobile Shell 3 and it rocks!
Dunno if switching from TF2D to MS3, and vice versa, is possible.. I didn't bother testing....

Izzyzc, will it be possible for you to check it for me??

prob is that touchflow replaces the lower left softkey to camera, but of course you can add the spb shell to the start menü and switch fast.

I have installed spb ms 3 in my xperia and I can say,is really nice,I love it, touch flows and other iphone similars you can´t compare with this,is the best!!!

SPB mb 3 is aviable in handango.com I´m allready buy them for my xperia,is amazing!!!!

Great stuff
I'm using version 3 for a week now and I love it!
I think it's the best Shell for Windows Mobile, don't you?
What if Microsoft let SPB write the entire winMo UI?
You know, things like the settings dialogs, the annoying messageboxes, that kind of stuff.
This way we can all enjoy a finger friendly UI and also - great performance.
(this is why I think it's better than the TouchFlo by the way)

some one please create a megaupload link
please can´t download to slow .... error
many thanks

Oh sorry... I've already flashed my Jade with a lite ROM... No more TF2D!
Anyway, SPB MS3 is officially out! Check out SPB's website...

Love SPB Mobile Shell 3
I have installed it on my HTC Touch Pro and I LOVE IT!!! I was able to get it for free since I had just purchased the last version less than 90 days ago and I actually prefer it over TF3D and I am definitely loving the Lifestyle layouts and the way you can slide between the 3 panels. So to me it is a keeper. I think they did an execellent job

The trial is working great for me. I already had version 2, but it had bugs on my Jade so I didn't use it. I will test 3 for a couple of days and assuming it doesn't do anything silly I will definitely be buying it, it blows Touchflo out of the water.

Hi all.
Just letting everyone know (maybe you already know) that there is a 20 page + thread in Development & Hacking on Spb Mobile Shell 3.0:
xda-developers > General discussion > Development and Hacking
SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 - The Features....
I suggest where possible we try and share experiences on the one thread so that all valuable feedback can be found in the same location?
Mattster.

Little update:
I found downloaded and installed 3.0.0 Build 6411 and it works like a charm.

ya, my jade runs smooth on Build 6411 too...

Looks like v3.5 is out now and even better than than v3... from the looks of it anyway.

this method does not seem to work on my Imagio, if anyone else has another way to run both tf3d and ms3.5 at the same time, please post your method and in the mean time i am trying figure out a good way myself.
*dont know why the link isnt working but its in the development and hacking area of the forums

Why would you wanna run both at the same time anyway? They serve same purpose but has only different useability and UI. And running both of them would probably eat alot of RAM too..

tf3d has gps based weather and spb has customizable widgets, i dont need to run both at the same time but i would like the main today screen to be tf3 and be able to switch to mobile shell at the touch of a button.

I couldn't add MS 3.5. The information on TF3D Detacher and the X1 panels are all over this forum, a quick search should pull up everything you need. I don't have any screen shots at the moment, mainly because I just did a hard reset and am running straight MS 3.5 (I'm OCD and will keep hard resetting until I get exactly what I want).
