Hi all,
Is there anyone who has the original theme of the SPB Mobile shell working on a Samsung i780 (320x320 resolution) in combination with realvga? So with the original icons and layout.
I use now the one that was mentioned in the old thread 'SPB Mobile Shell 2.1 + i780 + RealVGA' but I hate the icons and basically just want to use the original theme which doesn't work out of the box on 96 dpi...
I hope anyone can help me with this I would be extremly thankfull for that ;-)
Regards,
Nico...

Hi Nico, just saw this thread. My apologies for not responding earlier. In regards to your question, you will need to uninstall spb ms2.1 first. Using total commander or resco file explorer, make sure that everything in the spb mobile shell directory is wipe clean.
As per the original thread, follow the instructions closely to re-install spb ms 2.1 again.
You have to make sure that spb ms 2.1 is installed in 128dpi mode.
After installation, run it under spb ms 2.1 to test out the program. It should run smoothly.
Run RealVGA again and set to 96dpi.
Soft reset.
Unzip the attached file and place it in spb folder to replace the qa_layouts.dat
Finally run spb at 96 dpi. The screen should be aligned to 320x320 now and all icons should be stock.
Hope this helps and let me know if you faces any problems.
Hi g00ndu,
first of all you don't have to apology, I am already extremly thankfull that you are willing to put some time and effort in it to help me with this, that is much appreciated!
The dat file you provided does work indeed to get me the old icons back thanks for that. However, if it is possible, could you also make the dat file so that it also restores the pinned icons on the top? So the default SPB theme layout? That is the only thing I am missing now.
Also I have just another small question, when I read the original post in the past I had difficulties to get it to work (pressing the SPB shell link just didn't do anything) I noticed on other forums that more people had this issue. After a while I noticed that you mentioned version 2.1. I did manange to find an installation file of this version on the internet, however the reason that I had issues in the past was that when you download the cab file from the SPB website you get version 2.1.1 and that doesn't work with the work instruction you provided. I do not have a special need for this new version if it is too difficult but do you have any idea why it doesn't work with the 2.1.1 version and would it be possible to get this dat file you will create to work with that version as well?
Anyway thanks again already for your great help.
Kind Regards,
Nico...
Let's take this via Private Message. We do not want to clutter this forum. I will PM you now.
Apologies to the mod, but there is no other way which I can attach the file for Nico.
@Nico,
Please use the attached file and check if it works. You should have the 12 pinning icons with 6 program icons in your launcher.
If there is some messed up icons, I apologise as I did not have the means to debug. Possibly you can upload to imageshack and link it over here.
If it works fine, just pm me.

Hi, this is most of it really beyond my abilities but I really would like to install tom33's new skin package for SPB Mobile Shell (it's the one with v3.3 added on the end). I already have the latest Imarche skin set installed. Could someone tell me if I just install the new one over top or do I have to uninstall the other one first? Also could someone please give me some instructions on how to install a .zip file (I think one is maybe .rar), I don't have any problem with cabs but I'm not sure how to do this. I would really appreciate your help and simple instructions.
Thanks very much
ps. I have an omnia i910

Theme is fantastic - its true , but it takes a lot of time to translate
Especially if you need to hard reset - everything is lost then.
If any one could post english .cab for this theme please ?
Best regards.
Hello,
Thanks, yes it takes a lot of time to translate but more time to create.
Please don't share .cab if this isn't me that I created it. Respect my work It's non difficult to understand the text
Thanks
Ok. You are doing a great work Eagledig.
We will wait for your .cab
Cheers.

I have installed wad 2.5, message2reg and mortscript 4.2 cab but than after I want to install your cab it says that installation was unsuccessful!!
I have tried than soft reset and installing again your cab again, but same error!
I had the same problem on the start ( check post 2 ).
It seems that its need wm6.5.
(Please correct me if wrong).
I have tried many roms with this (about 6) and only those with wm6.5 worked fine.
I am using wm6.5 benko's(mine ROM!!
Which version you use v1.0 , 1.5 Ultra Lite, Clean?
BTW any other skin I have tested is working!
I was using your 6.5.3 rom in full version ( i don't remember version).
Sorry but the problem comes from your rom, the .cab files works correctly.
Makes hard reset or change your Rom, my theme work on WM6.1 and WM6.5 without any problem:
My tests : Touch HD, Touch HD2, Diamond 2 and Diamond = work correctly
How it is going on with translating ?
Theme
Followed instructions perfectly, theme installed no problem, edited the text to english perfectly.
Great theme, enjoyed playing with it thanks!, but not practical for everyday use so back to WM6.5 for me
[/B]As M2D has now been successfuly ported on VGA devices, many VGA device users are willing to have VGA themes. We already have a huge collection of beautiful M2D themes for QVGA, but nothing for VGA.
Luckily I managed to convert these to VGA with few simle steps, which I want to share with the community as a little contribution from my side.
What you need to have:
1. M2D VGA pre-istalled in your device
2. QVGA theme "zip" file (Any M2D theme you want to convert in VGA)
3. Throttle Theme Rescale Tool (Attached)
(Please note that this useful tool is developed by APBilbo for throttle launcher & it works perfect for any theme as it accurately resizes the PNG files from QVGA to VGA. So all credit for this goes to him)
4. HTCHomesettings.xml for VGA (attached)
What you need to do :
1. Unzip the QVGA theme content in a new folder
2. Use theme rescaling tool on this new folder. This will resize all PNG file in this folder to fit your VGA screen.
3. Replace the HTCHome settings.xml file in the folder with the one attached.
4. Zip the folder & copy in your device
5. Add and install the theme with M2DC
------------You are done ! Enjoy the theme of your choice -----------------
Note : The 3rd attachment is a beautiful theme converted from QVGA to VGA which you can directly install & check before you start converting other themes. All credit for this theme goes to the designer of the original QVGA theme.
Hey whichever i tried, after installing i realize that it is for QVGA than I have to uninstall it.
Can you please also attach a working VGA M2D so that it will be easier for newbie.
Thanks,
Rajesh

I like the Manila2D UIR a lot. I use it now for 2 months and it's very good even aon a device with only 128MB RAM.

Glad that you find it useful. M2D is definetly the coolest UI I have come across. Was missing it badly when I switched to DX900 from ZINC (QVGA to VGA device).
If you want (and if this is OK with the original designers), we can post our converted themes here in this thread to share with all.

Can you list down what all programs you have installed from M2D package?
Try installing programs like 'google maps', 'youtube' etc in storage card instead of main memory.

And here is the link for themes-

i mean delete all the themes and make the spb theme is the booter theme
hope anyone help me
and thanx again guys
and sorry for my English

SPB is a 3rd party app which you need to purchase. XDA does not allow warez in any shape or forum whether you are requesting or providing it.
Consider this 1st and last warning on this matter
EDIT
I notice you have edited first post and removed warez request & my comments
ok man i will buy it but how to cook it with my ROm after buying it man ??? please if you know can u make a reply by the way thanx so much
It's like cooking anything else in: install it, grab all the files and registry keys, then put them in an EXT. Try to get it to work straight out of \windows (possibly change registry key paths and shortcut paths); if that doesn't work, then you need to send the files to their own directory.
and if it has setup.dll in the cab you CAN compare the registry before and after installing the cab by sktarcker or ceregedit and export it in the App.reg
it's Not easy to do this , YOU SHOULD WORK ON IT !!!
and some times setup.dll removes and rename some files
BTW : Warez app , Requests , releases are Not Allowed in most Forums
cheers

If you just want to cook this in for personal use or even the trial that's fine. Nobody can impose restrictions on that.
The way I did it is I dumped the cab to an OEM using the CAB2OEM tool floating around XDA (search for it by name).
Add it the resulting OEM to your kitchen like you would any other regular OEM package.
If you'd like to also cook in all your customizations... export the SPB Mobile Shell 2 registry key that gets created after you install SPB.
Good luck...
p.s. I looked at the original post and you did ask where to get the "final SPB cracked" version. We don't allow that here (warez or warez requests) and please leave the moderator edits in place next time you edit your post. Thank you!

Start/Settings/Today/Items to turn off TF3D.
You might like :
- Sense (with a cooked ROM).
- SPB Mobile Shell

Hi,
I've the same problem. I've done exactly the same things (Diamond TF3D config, themes,). I know how activate/desactivate TF3D but I can't use another theme than the standards one (those of my Phone Operator). It never works. So i'm very interested in the response...
