Spb as default today screen

I am using HTC touch can anyone please help me to make spb mobile shell as the default today screen i went to the posts of spb mobile shell but they are soooo big that i couldnt find anything.........all i want that spb interface to be my default today screen.... thanks in advance

You mean the 3 sided one where you can flip through?
You can't really have it as a today screen. You can however set it to display on wakeup so every time you turn on your phone it's there. And when you lock your phone it is also there.

This can be happen and after soft reset. Just edit the mobile shell's shortcut in the windows\startup folder with a file manager(I use total commander) and remove the "-noshow" option. If there is not exist an spb mobile shell shortcut, just create one from the executable.
The problem is that starts in launcher screen and not in Now, and I didn't find until now how to change this. Maybe there is a command line parameter but I don't know which is.

please sum1 only tell me how to bring the now screen (the analog clock one only) as the today screen i dont want anything else...........

you cant. search through the millions of mobile shell 2.0 threads. the closest thing you can do is that reg hack, or go to mobile shell settings and set the now screen to appear on device wake up. it cant be set as your today screen.

There is a shortcut to the Now screen. If you look where you can assign buttons it allows you to choose the Now screen. I am not sure where it is as an exucatable.

You can go to the Now screen with the "\Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell\Menulauncher.exe -now" command. You can assign it to a button, or a FTouchFlo gesture.

1.) Copy the "MobileShell.exe" application from \Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell, and
2.) create a shortcut "Shortcut to MobileShell.lnk" in \windows\StartUp, then
3.) Perform a Soft reset.
Now the Mobile Shell Spb Menu (Application) screen auto loads after the soft reset. No Reg edit required for this...
I have not seen or heard of a Now Screen edit as of yet but I'm sure one of these great Programmer / Chefs has one in the works... Have you seen what they are doing so far?

The above mention instructions does not replace the Today Screen but only bypasses it after a reset. If you close MS2.0 at any time, it will take you back to the Today Screen. As far as I know, you can not totally replace your Today Screen.
Good luck and keep on reading... The XDA Google search function can do wonders....

Thanks for this! With this I achieve to make the device starts in now screen after soft reset with the help of mortscript.
I made a shortcut with above command, and after I write this script:
Code:
run ("\Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell\MobileShell.exe")
Sleep( 10000 )
Run ("\Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell\MenuLauncher.lnk")
I put a shortcut of the script file in windows\startup folder and reset the device.
Now I have the now screen after every soft reset.

I modified the memwatcher sdk sample to launch spb now screen whenever user gets to today screen. Install the CAB file and every time when you return to today screen it'll quickly put you back at spb now screen.

I knew it wouldn't be long before someone made this happen... Good work....

That's What I Have Been Waiting For!!!!!!!!!!!!
God Job!

Be careful when using this cab.
I installed this tool on my german htc touch and now the device freezes all the time.
There is an error message saying " can`t open file MenuLauncher. Perhaps this file is not signed or one of its component is missing".
Then my device is showing the rotating icon for searching and doesn`t accept any input. How can i get rid of this without having to hardreset my htc ? After soft reset the device is still running in this error message, and active sync will not recognize my ppc to uninstall from there, so I need some help please.......

got the same problem on my german device.
any ideas to fix it?
@rod65
perform a softreset and boot in "safe-mode"... deinstallieren fertig...

Thank YOU!

[APP]Diamond & S2U2

It's found there are several issues when running S2U2 on Diamond. An intermidiate fix is that:
1. Disable DirectDraw will prevent the occasional blank screen;
2. Enable NoBackLightCheck (it's only valid in v1.05 or later; create a DWORD value with name NoBackLightCheck and value 1 under \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2U2; restart iLock2) will make IdleStart works again.
Known issues:
1. CallerID does not work.
2. Home key cannot be locked.
3. "S2U2 Settings" has error when it's scrolling about half the way.
UPDATE on 29 July:
A new version of S2U2 v1.10 is released at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412418.
For optimal usage with Diamond, make sure you grab the VGA version & turn on "Don't double check Backlight" at the S2U2 Settings.

thnx A_C for the info, already try to solve it but hope you can come out a diamond version soon....by the way s2v zoom function also not able to use on diamond any solution??

Had the same problem with zooming, did not found the bugs with s2u2 yet but if you say soo... Is there a version for Daimond of s2u2 en s2v coming??
Greetz and thanx for your wonderfull applications!

thank you for yr concern. the only thing that real bother me is my diamond always answering my calls due to the pressure from the belt case. i realy hate that. i miss s2u2 soooooo much. please do something. no need of gifs or fancy clocks. only a slide to unlock and caller id that works with the diamond. please!...

"ExceptionEXE4"="cprog.exe"
"SafeMode"=dword:00700000

for callerID, if you use advanceconfig to disable the phone skin, then it works! But your diamond-style dialpad will disappear.

I just installed S2U2 on my diamond.
When my device is locked, i can access my device when i press the home key. so basically, it is not ''locked''.
any idea how to disable all hardware buttons during locked up?

how to exclude S2U2 from TouchFlo3D correctly?

Hello,
I'm trying to "disable" the home button when S2U2 active (= possibly deactivate the touchflo when s2u2 is active, because you can still recall the home screen when it's pushed). I tried to use the TouchFlo config file.
Code:
FTouchFloConfig.txt
Exclude:s2u2.exe
or
Code:
FTouchFloConfig.txt
Exclude:S2U2.exe
currently it's located in \Windows\FtouchFlo\FTouchFloConfig.txt
Unfortunately it still doesn't work ... I will check for following locations one more time to test the exclusion.
\Program Files\FTouchFlo\FTouchFloConfig.txt
\Program Files\Touch Flo\FTouchFloConfig.txt
\Windows\FTouchFloConfig.txt
any help how to make it correct?
I already extended the exclusion to following items, but still no success (and yes I reload touch flo, including device reboots)
Code:
Exclude:iLock.exe
Exclude:iLock2.exe
Exclude:s2u2.exe

You want to "exclude" S2U2 ? What does it mean ? What is your problem ?

I can't get answer for wrong question, right it's wrongly formulated.
my problem is that when S2U2 is running the HOME button is still active and you are able to "virtually push" him, which means that your TODAY screen can be activated and is visible. My goal is to have all virtual keys deactivated when S2U2 is running.

Well, I am using S2U2 and I don't have this kind of problem. When I press the Home button, the TF3D page appears only a fraction of second, then S2U2 reappears.
Which version of S2U2 do you have ?

same thing here. seems like it started with me after I used my s9 bluetooth headset. when I used my wired set, I don't think this happened.

I have the same issue, but it doesn't have any consequences for me.
Another issue I do have with S2U2 is when I make a call via a bluetooth headset, the keypad disables and it happens often that keys are pressed while the phone is in my pocket after I made a call. Haven't found a setting that disables this either.

i tried to install it but i get the error that it is not signed and therefor not running.
i looked up everything here but there is so much on S2U2 that i dont know what to install in wath order.

-go here and download the wvga version and the language pack.
-extract the s2u2 cab file in your memory card and the correct language file.
-install the cab in your tp2 (not in the memory card), rename the language file (i.e. lang.english.ini->lang.ini) and copy it into \programs\s2u2 folded (when asked click on replace existing file).
-reboot.
when windows starts a popup appears and s2u2 starts for the first time. so you can now set it up in s2u2 setting (wallpaer, ecc...)

thx dude for the lightning fast response

you're welcome...solved?

yep, just ninstalled it and works fine.

one more issue...
S2U2 is not picking the weather from HTC's weather panel... wht do u think is wrong?
thx....

mine shows weather correctly...have u selected touchflo3d in s2u2 settings?
...have you downloaded the weather for the location and have you setting up the gmt time for the same locatioon in home tab?
to show weather correctly weather tabs must shows the same location as gmt time.
sorry for my English...

the seven options for weather that s2u2 1.62 gives me are
Off | SPB Weather 1.x | Weather Panel | Pocket Weather | HTC Home Weather | UserWeather | Manila 2D Weather | Manila 3D Weather
I selected both Weather panel and HTC Home Weather, none seem to work.
Yes, tocuflo3d's weather panel has downloaded the latest weather updates...
my home location and time are correct too...
thx....

EDIT: I tried Manilla 3D and its working! .... hmm.... is tht its name?....

yeah!

Hey I just installed S2U2 cause I needed a good locking program but for some weird reason and multiple installations, uninstall and soft-resets, I'm still not able to get the slide to unlock work.
I mean i get the screen with the time and all just the slider isn't there.
i have tried many skins but still no go.
Is there a solution I don't know?
thanks for your help.

In the S2U2-Settings, set the following values (beside the others you want, of course):
Hide all softkeys: OFF (This is the value that hides the slider)
Display mode: GDI (Otherwise the screen would be scrambled sometimes when you change the orientation)

It won't go completely away by this but it's much better than with the other display driver modes.

Auto-lock and Hard Button utility

A quick note to tell that CSDEVCTRL works perfectly on the Rhodium. Not only it is a light unlocking application enhancing the WM unlocking, but it is incredibly useful, with a number of goodies not related to unlocking. The hard button utility is highly configurable, it can work even when phone is locked (if you wish). I use it to toggle wifi or set bluetooth off, in order to save battery. AEButtonPlus did not identify buttons correctly on the Rhodium, but this one does.
Thread here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=386451
PS: the bluetooth toggle does not work at the moment due to the Rhodium stack, I use the hotkey utility to launch TurnBTOff.exe in \WIndows in order to set BT off.

This is a setting (I guess it prevents your ear to hang up when touching the screen on some phones), you can put it the way you like (in "Lock Triggers", uncheck "Lock During Call"). You can also set it so that only soft keys are locked.

Well, locked/freeze my phone a couple of times. Personally, not recommended. Don't really works well.

Well, I forgot to say that it does not look compatible with TF3D (I do not use TF3D). It is fully compatible with SPB Mobile Shell. I used it with "WM Today". Sorry !
Also the settings are not so easy to figure out : If you have a foreign Rom (French Orange for me), most important is to write the title displayed in at the top when Unlock Window is shown (Déverrouiller instead of UNLOCK for me)in the Unlock Triggers window, the same with Phone (Téléphone for me) in the Lock Triggers window).
