SPB Mobile Shell 2 disables Windows' Task Manager? - Mogul, XV6800 General

Has anyone else noticed this problem, or even better, a solution? I just upgraded from Mobile Shell 1 to 2.1, and now the built in task manager in Windows Mobile 6.1 doesn't work. In fact it refuses to show up at all, even after re-enabling through the windows settings panel... Everything goes back to normal after downgrading back to Mobile Shell 1.

I messed around with it a bit more. Turns out if you disable the taskbar gesturing, you get the Task Manager back. I'd like to have both, but the Task Manager is more useful I think.

Nothing wrong
You only get to play with plug-ins if you have something like spbWeather or spbPhoneSuite installed
What about...

Anyway... How do i get my tasks/appointments to show in the Now screen?
Another thing...!
What about hakking Mobile Shell 2.0 to accept 3.part. Plugins?
Is that possible?
you can't use other 3rd party plugins in the Now screen except for those supported by SPB Software like their very own SPB PhoneSuite etc. otherwise it'll be the calendar and alarm that can be displayed on the Now screen.
is there any posibility to add a shortcut to S2U2 on today screen
a "lock" button like the speaker,or to modify the speaker icon and shortcut to S2U2 ?
thx

Mobile Shell 2.1 and Alttab

Hi,
I use MobileShell 2.1 and a little .exe (from spb tools I think?) Alttab.exe. Usually when you assing Alttab.exe to a button, you get a window similar to alt-tab under Desktop Windows, where you press the Button until the desired (running) application is highlighted, and after releasing it switches to that app.
With Mobile Shell that doesn't work, there's just nothing happening.
Annyone else experienced this?

ok, I found the issue is only together with WKTask... uninstalled that and it's ok again. Since I use WKTask only for closing apps, I'll use HTClose for that.

Question about SBP panel and task manager

Hi
I’m using the free SBP panel on my X1 and I noticed that when I activate this panel, there’s no more drop-down for the standard task manager. I use the TM quite often and I really do need it tough I’d also like to use the SBP panel. So is there a way to make the dropdown for the standard task manager in the upper right of the screen appear again?
SBP Panel & Task Manageron Quick Menu
I am experiencing this too. Any Help please?
Thanks!
Yeye, I'm still waiting for help as well
SPB has acknowledged this is an issue and is working on a fix. According to what I am reading, they cannot do updates as fast on OEM type partnerships due to all the red tape they have to go through with Sony. In a couple of threads over on their forum, there are a couple of people that have hinted to there being an update soon but still waiting on Sony. Also, this will not be the only fix in the update.
Thanks for the info m8 I'll try and find their forum then...
there is a way but u will loose default today screen. if u use spb shell primarily u can use this trick.
1. create shortcut link of moblie shell from programme files and sent to windows
start menu. u can use resco explorer for this.
2. now mobile shell link should be in windows/start menu/programs
3. copy this mobile shell link in windows/startup folder.
now when u reboot your phone it will boot directly to spb shell and fully functional task manager.
note spb soft keys would be relplaced by today soft keys .

R3A panel manager + HTC Task manager = problem :(

hey guys
first... sry for my bad englisch^^
so...i installed the new panel manager, but since i installed it the task manager icon in the right corner of the screen in the taskbar is not more displayed and if i press on that place nothing happens
i tryed also QuickMenü and SPB pocketplus but...the same(i dont know if they palce there a icon...but quickmenu changed my hole startmenu...)
is there any fix or something like that?...i´m using charon99´s lite&fast 1.3 with UC...
I have the same problem, made me switch back to the old panel manager, atleast until there is a fix for this.
You ca see the task manager button really shortly when you press the X, but it still does not work.
Does anybody have a solution?
yes i changed after i noticed that too to the old manager...but now i am back on the new manager because it is faster
at the moment i put the Windows Taskmanager in the launcher...so i do "the same" but i got to go over corner xD
This has happened to me too. Im not that bothered, but it does come in handy. Are there any fixes at all?
i searched a lot....but found nothing :S
Could somebody with any knowledge of the device investigate how to get the "task manager" back on the panels with the new panel manager?
Have tried switching the "put button on screen" (dont know precise names because of Dutch phone) option in settings, taskmanager and then button. This removes and adds the button in most panels (not "on the road") with the old panel manager, however with the new one it does not work. I also cant find any "process" with the advanced task manager that seem to correlate with this.
Again, does anybody have any ideas??
Thanks
Hey guys, How to Install old task manager? I don't like the new panel manager. It is fast, but I want task manager on the top of every panels.
Please help!
if you want your taskmanager back then you have to install the old panel manager...there is no way atm that the task manager works with R3A panel manager...
Could you please provide me an URL link to download the old panel manager. I don't want to do a Hard reset!

HD2 slightly screwed after failed SPB Mobile Shell install

Having only had my HD2 for less than a week, I've still managed to install a ton of apps and also tweaked a lot of the settings. Today, however, I wanted to try out SPB Mobile Shell so tried to install the demo. Nearing the end of the install, my HD2 started flashing up 'running short of memory' issues and in the end I had to cancel the install. The problem is that it seems to have partly installed SPB Mobile Shell and it's taken me a while to get back to nearly where I was.
Thankfully I did a full backup before starting the SPB Mobile Shell install, so I did a hard reset and restored the backup. Virtually everything is back to normal, but there is still one part that is odd. When I press the Start button, all I get is a blank screen with just the taskbar (and relevant icons), my wallpaper and a 'Today' icon. If I press Today, I get taken back to my normal today screen with clock and quicklinks.
I've checked Windows/Start Menu/Programs and all of the shortcuts, etc are in there. I think it may be something to do with SPB Mobile Shell and so I went to try to look at the Windows Mobile settings. I can't do the Start - Settings - All Settings route (due to the lack of icons as described above), but if I go into the 'Settings.lnk' file through Resco Explorer, I can get into Manila Settings. However when I then choose Menu - All Settings, it just remains on the Manila Settings page and doesn't open up the Windows Mobile settings page.
Can anyone shed any light as to what is going on ?
I've got a couple of options:
1. If I can somehow get into Windows Mobile Settings page, I may be able to fix this. Is there a shortcut or executable that I can access through Resco Explorer.
2. Do another hard reset and reinstall everything again. Does anyone know of an app that will list out all the programs I've got installed ??
Any help greatly appreciated !
Thanks
maybe u have installed the program secondtoday for switching between spb and manila? the page u get after the softreset is the default windows today screen..
u can use bsbtweaks for example to put a shortcut of the wm settings to the startmenu...
all programs u have installed are listed under settings/system/remove programs...
