HI there,
I'm also using spb mobile shell V2.1.1 on my ipaq 612c and have the same problem,initially i thought it was a device specific problem but after long search in google,i came across SPB forum site and it seems this is a common problem for v2.1 and they are aware of it.SPB will come out with an update to fix this issue.
Another annoying issue for me is that,the "OK" key on the hard keypad is not really working properly.when i use the key to close programs,it does not really close the programs and the programs are still running in the background.The OK key on the left side of the device works fine.Any solution to fix this "OK" key on the keypad?
Thanks
hi Iznee,
Yeah i found out the same, but the good news is that SPB shell has just released version 2.12
I've just installed it and the backlight works great!
I just uninstalled the old verion then installed the new one, and it accepted my old registration.
The OK key (if you tap onthe screen, press the side button ot press the keppad button does the same for me, always minimises the current window. What i did was install a small app called "magic button" that makes the "OK" button an exit button, and closes the windows.
This is a fault in all WM devices. The are a lot of custom sofware that will do the same as magic button, but magic button is free.

Hi Good Peoples,
Is anyone working on modified menus for SBP Shell so that they will work on the HD?
I was using something that looked like this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2026760&postcount=433 on my Touch Diamond and would like something similar for my HD.
Install Spb Shell 2.1.3 an use this skinning programm: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424933
Many thanks. I will give it a go.
SPB Shell 2.1.3 works fine.
Been using it since it was released.
Spb have just released an UPDATED version of Mobile Shell - this has the issue of drop-down menus fixed.
They cannot give a date when other programmes such as Diary will be fixed, but claim it is a straightforward fix that will be addressed in the next update for each module.
That skinning program (a few posts above) is brilliant and just what the doctor ordered.
Hello !
I am working woth the actual newest build and it is working fine on the HD.
It has all necessary options and gives the HD the final touch.
It is worth the money. There is also no need to get extra themes - the installed one is great.
I can recommend to use the new SBP keyboard,too.
Althoug the HTC keyboard is very good, the SBP one is better and has also a rumble feedback when touching a key !

does SPB keyboard have the left/right and up/down navigation buttons that appear on the bottom of the HTC keyboards?
I have tried SPB pocket plus. It's a nice program, but it has a problem with drop down menues too
When editing or customizing the tabs (for eg. tab Home), the "Categories" drop down menu doesn't show other possibilities like Programs,... It shows just Indicators.
Hello
no it does not have the cursor like buttoms - up down right or left
sorry
Is it possible to edit registry to launch iContact & Calendar Touch from default key presses rather than use soft keys or direct icons eg press contacts and iContact is launched.
Thanks
What i want to do: Left key= drop down start menu, Right key= file explorer
However what happens is i get the start menu on the left soft key but i only get the file explorer on the right soft key for maybe one/two presses and after that its sets itself to launch Today. Is this normal, i.e do you have to have one of them set as Today? Please help. Thanks.
happens with my phone too...as soon as i reboot or switch panels my left key becomes left softkey and the right becomes today again...
i made an override with AE Buttons...
it seems u r using TF3d.
I have the same p, but for me AE Buttons dont't show the left or right softkeys? Have anyone solved this? It would be really great!!!
P.S.: Happy new year!!!

i do have the panel installed yes...why? does this cause this problem? ty
I have heard of a number of people that use TF3D have issues with the softkeys resetting to default. I personally don't use TF3D and have no issues with my custom softkey mappings.
Glad it's not just me experiencing this issue.
I've got a friend with an X1 with almost exactly the same software installed (TF3D also), he doesn't appear to be having the same issue.
Hi to all,
I have a question....
On Blackstone we have two custom buttons the home button and the back arrow button
now pressing the home button is like go to desktop in normal windows terminology.
But are we able to change the back arrow button to toggle (alt+tab) between applications.
i mean it partially does that when appication are on the screen but it doenst do anything when applications are running in background..like for e.g. say...i have explorer and wmplayer open then i press the home button..they ll be minimized in the taskmgr but back arrow is not usable in this case.
I think that ll make life very eazy for ppl who have bunch of applications running and needs to switch between them...as the taskmgr on the main screen is usually slow responding and again it saves clicks...if u know wat i mean..
thanx to everyone in advance..
Check MobileMagic, you can do that with this tool as far as I remember.

Check out WkTask - it display all running apps on the top bar the way Windows does on the taskbar on the PC! Just tap one of the icons and you switch to that app!
Hi guys ..thanks for the replies...tried both of the softwares ...MobileMagic..is not able to offer taskswitch function...and wktask is gr8 but messes up my keyboard font...its strange..any workaround ? i am using htc full qwerty keyboard.
Just download Spb PocketPlus, install it, go to the installation folder, find the file called AltTab.exe, save it.
You can uninstall P+ then and assign the "Back" button to launch AltTab.exe. But you will need AEButton+
This is how I live with my Touch HD

I guess I remembered it incorrectly, Alt+Tab action does not exist in MobileMagic, it is available in AE Button Plus.
Also there is no need for the AltTab.exe of SPB Pocket Plus, AE Button Plus is enough to accomplish this.
However, AltTab.exe might provide a better user experience, I will try it anyway.
Try TaskFacade!

That's odd... What exactly is getting messed-up? Could you upload a screenshot?
I've never had any problems using WkTask - and I have used it on pretty much every ROM I had on my HD!
BTW: I use the same keyboard you are using... no problems!
I've tried TaskFacade but it crashes on me ALOT and I can't seem to map it very well with AEButton.I wanted to map it to long 'Back' but it never works.
I don't have a HD (yet), so I don't know if this will work for sure...
But I use a little free app called HButton on my XDA Orbit (Artemis?), which allows as many functions as you like on one button (by holding the button down until the required function/app appears).
This also includes a task switcher function.
Worth a try.
Hi Guys thanx for the replies again...
by messed up i mean the text on the htc sip keyboard is like times new roman in normal (not bold tahoma) and it looks ugly...i have tried removing the application and it still is the same...can anyone upload the default font cab
thanx

Not sure how to hide them.
I have seen a recent 6.5.3 ROM that had the Start Menu button disabled but it still had the 2 soft keys, possibly one of Pisca's releases.
I would suggest you give Max Manila theme a try where it can be set to minimize the bottom bar.

Thnx for the quick response.
I will be using Spb Mobile Shell, and in the previous ROMs i tested, those buttons were covering the Mobile Shell Buttons.
If i have to manually minimize those buttons every single time, that would be annoying. I am looking for a simple solution per Registrychange.
I think I understand now.
The right soft key is not configurable in Sense 2.5
You can try to set your left soft key to SPB MobileShell in registry;
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila HomeLSK Path & Text
Hope this is what you were looking for.

Thanks for trying to help, it wasn't what i was looking for.
I used to have a problem with one of the cooked WM6.5.3 ROM using spb Mobile Shell. The WM6.5.3 Buttons were covering Mobile Shell buttons. Now with the latest WM6.5.3 ROM and Mobile Shell 3.5.3 i am not having this problem anymore.

Hi all,
Just bought a preowned HTC Touch HD. It is loaded with XannyTech Rom Leo 3.1 when I bought it. The Home page looks great but very slow so I was looking around for a better UI and then came across with Spb Shell.
I downloaded and installed Trial version of SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.5 from their website. Installation went smoothly without any problem and I have the SPB shell Home up and running.
There are few issues that I notice though :
1. I can turn off the screen or sleep the device ONCE only (using power button or other apps), after I wake the device, I won't be able to turn it off again. I need to soft reset the device then the power button will work again, but only ONCE again.
2. I can't type using the default HTC keyboard. There are 2 places I tried so far that don't work : entering my city for weather and registering spb. The keyboard is on the screen but nothing appears in the white box when I type it.
3. Is there a way to shut down spb shell temporarily without uninstalling it ?
I searched around this forum and google it but it seems no one else have this issue. I really like this spb because the UI is really smooth and light.
Could someone help me with this ? or perhaps there is another UI similar like Spb shell out there ?
Thanks in advance,
Problem sorted. I uninstalled CHT and everything works fine now.
