dear all,
first i would like to thank everybody in this forum for their great work! fantastic!
for me who owns his first wm phone it's really interesting but also dificult to filter all relevant information for my lg ks20. this is why i started this thread.
by now i have spb ms 2.1.1 installed running with the pointui skin. also got resco board and opera 9 and that should do it for me (for the start).
now comes the question(s):
- i found this great greatbal skin in all his modifications. also the discussion concerning the 9th button. the manual for how to install it doesn't work for me. any hint?
- due to the fact, that the ks20 has no g-sensor, is there any prog that provides me with the adjustment to start a program vert or horizontal? maybe in combination with the resco board (sms = open resco = switch screen. close = switch back) or opera?
- is there a manual existing for how to change buttons of the bottom row or/and in the further menues?
- when leaving a prog the phone starts back from the wm home screen, not from the ms home... and exactly this is what i wanted to avoid the most: the wm style!
and just to make that clear: i used the "search"! but for a newb like me it's impossible to find out the relevant informations in all these hundred-pages-threads...
thank you very much for your patience,
koke
that is really strange...
here and in other forums it seems that i am the only one with an lg ks20.
Hi,
Just for you to know that you're not the only one
1- No idea
2- No idea
3- Have a look here
4- I haven't used spb ms for a while but I don't remember having this behaviour.
hi spocky,
thx anyway.
i think about switching to a touch diamond due to the fact that there are no solutions for the mentioned problems. which is really bad because i like the ks20's reduced shapestyle more than htc...
cheers,
koke
i'm looking rom wm6.1 for LGKS20,anyone can share it,TQ!
Hallo.
Just some things about this thread: You seem to have many questions but just about mobile shell . The lg is a cheap qvga windows mobile ppc nothing more. So when you searched a lot you maybe found some mobile shell threads ? And now the Question: why anbother thread ?
to say it clearly: you questions have nothing to do with LG but onyl with Mobile shell or windows mobile! So this is really sensless.
it looks like a: - my personal, - i am new, -dont whant to read much, - come on help me all -thread, and not a developers thread.
so please post this questions to where they belong, i cant find anything special in your question about LG specific things. I think then you will get some answers. Because this thread read only lg users (not many ) and not mobile shell users. I think you now understand what i mean and why you dont get a answer.
Also you other question have nothing to do with LG. The bottom buttons ale called "softkeys" and evey windows moblie has this. so you should search with "change softkeys", but first learn a little bit how something is called on windows mobile, because this helps a lot when searching. Because this question has been answered a hundred times. i use SKTools, i can be done by registry change or ....
on windows moblie the screen orientation is called "Portait" and "Landscape" (helps seraching )
And you have no G-Sensor ?, 99 Percent of the windows phones have no G-sensor. just some brandnew.
Thank you.

Wisbar Advanced can do this...it allows you to set the screen orientation for a specific program or application; then when you exit the application your screen comes back to the original orientation it's very useful ...
What I want to know is if there is an app that will automatically adjust the backlight using info from the front camera. I can't read a thing when I'm in the sunlight but having it full on all the time eats away my battery way too fast.
Idea's?

Hi All...!
In this times i has received many support from user niki forum.
Thanks so much guys.
Now i'm cooking ours Rom niki device,and what u want in Niki project Rom please post here.I will look in it and select which the best for us.
Any ideas just post in this thread
U're welcome guys
first to post here...well I guess the best way to start is to thank you for your work!
second..I think that all niki's users would love to find a way to improve battery life...right now it really drains out quickly..and perhaps there is something that can be done to reduce the consumption of energy.
plus i would love to see wifi connectivity on my screen..
ciao from Italy
I guess there will be many nice things to include (which dont come to my mind right now.. )
The only thing i'd say at the moment is that it would be awesome to include PointUI (www.pointUI.com) in some way... I know it's in very early stage and still has some bugs but it simply looks astonishing!
just my 2 cents...
i would like long press end key to power an .exe. such as slide2unlock..
1st I want to appreciate for you taking the time to try to make a good device even better.
Here it goes:
A finger friendly, always accessible task manager/task switcher (like the one of AE Button Plus, also the button-customization possibilities are nearly endless, which enable ducamie to do what he wants)
hangup-on-slider-close tool which is available in the forum. maybe it needs some modding since I prefer not to lock the phone or anything else but just to hang-up if I accepted the call via slider-open.
LCMinutes (also available here)
the HTC Apps with all proper working customization tools
since we own the niki, we all love eye candy stuff. So if something looks awesome and don't impact on performance too much, consider it.
some kind of working card export thing
system tweaks that make the niki a bit faster. consider to spent more ram to get more speed (some cache values and such things)
how about google maps
not to mention that working gps would be really great
get rid of those MS Live Apps
Well... this list is quite long I guess. Consider this a cheeky wishlist .
Cheers,
jekk

the funny thing about this is that if it didnt exist at all like in the excalibur there would be ALOT of users screaming to have this functionality . After getting used to the T9 function I really dont mind it.
having said that a 4 sided cube that dont resemble the iphone would be great. and then the obvious is a big storage rom without the ext-rom.
Why do you guys want that third party soft like point ui or similar will be installed?
If a new version is released u have to install the new pointui in userspace.
Then u have lost double space.
I would prefer to remove all apps that can be installed by yourself.
Even Live Mobile or HTC Apps.
Then everybody can install what he needs and save space.
Also u can remove soft if there is something newer if it's not in the ROM.
If it's in ROM it's lost space and u have to flash a new ROM erverytime a app
is released in a new version if u need more space.
And that means to install everthing u need again and again.
Pls do a stable and good Rom with only the needed things,
for additional apps in newest version we have threads like the HTC Apps Thread.
Is it possible to have it contain more than 1 language keyboards/text input? I know have an English version, and it would be usefull for me to be able to use xt9 in Dutch.

sorry 4 spam Tom, just had to
I came up this morning with one more things that i would love to have in my phone:
the possibility to use two dictionaries at the same time (primary and secondary). i.e. :If you write a word in T9 that it is not recognize by the first dictionary T9 tries to see possible matches with the second one..
ciao
thanks for cooking the Niki Project ROM!
these are the things that I want to be included in the ROM (if possible)
- WIFI & GPS Workaround
- Disable XT9
- Be able to map keypad buttons (IE button as "OK/Close" (16 keys))
- FM receiver
- Removable Storage workaround (WM5 Storage/Card Export)
good luck on the project!

Hi everyone! I own a trinity spv m700 orange white phone. Nothing has been change, the phone is still the same as the day it came package. And I have just witnessed the potential of what my phone can do.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSGqgEGedq8&feature=related
I am still a noob. And I dunno what they are using to do all that on their trinity. I think now is the good time to learn more about my phone and fiddle with it.
I would love and kill to see my trinity work that way. Would any experts out there kindly point me in the right direction. I know there might be alot of work cut out for me. But I am not discouraged.
Hope someone can help me in here.
Thank you in advance.

There's nothing special about it. From what I can see, it has HTC Home installed, Touchflo, HTC Album in landscape mode, Pocket IE in full screen mode, Tom Tom navigation, Office Mobile, Windows Media Player, HTC Audio Manager, HTC Action, nothing special.
As for the speed, it is a medium speed ROM, I'd give it a 6/10.
Most of these apps you will find on the forum.

After installation, shut down PPC (hold power button for 4 seconds), then soft reset.
Hey Tnyynt.
Thanks, but I think I found a solution by searching....

Hello!
I've a new Samsung SGH-i620 smartphone (Win Mobile 6 with qwertz keyboard and without touchscreen).
I'm searching a today screen which displays a preview (subject) of emails I arrive via MS Exchange push.
I had this feature at my Blackberry and I would like to have it on my Samsung as well...
Any ideas? I've searched a lot but found nothing helpful...
Thanks a lot!
hm, I don't know if you can install it..but SPB Diary allows you to actually look at the text message or email before you open it
I'd look into the Manilla threads ...

Why would you send a noob with a non HTC device (not even Touchscreen) to the Manila threads?
The next thing you have is this poor guy adding a post to the already almost 1700 posts in that thread asking "I did everything in the instructions and I can't turn on my device..."
@El-Chico,
While I have no knowledge of what you are looking for, in order to save you hours upon hours of searching (and quite possibly ruining your device), do not take anything from the Manila 2D threads.
Moreover, unless SPB has a version of SPB Diary for Smartphone, I would not even try to install it either if I were you.
Hi and thanks for your replys!
SPB Diary seems exactly to be the right software - but it won't work on Windows Mobile Standard :-( I tried to install it but it abordes the installation process.
I've searched a bit and found "PocketBreeze" - this can show the subjects of mails on the today screen as well.
But - it works only with touchscreen devices!
I'm affraid, that there is no chance to get what I want for the moment - or do you have an idea, if it is possible to install one of the programs "by hand" and use them?
hi,
i am getting this phone in a few weeks on vodafone(uk).
i have looked in a few threads but i was getting a bit lost so,
when getting this phone from new what would you do with it...
what would you change in the settings...
what programs would you remove...
what programs would you add...
any help would be great thanks.
Hi Markyc101, welcome to the forum/X1 Owners' club!
I too was a bit lost in the beginning, and didn't know where to start because of the large amount of detailed info.
Before you start doing anything really, you should read about the WinMo OS, and what a ROM is (and what it means to load a different one). Even though this is already pretty advanced, it's the most core aspect of the device and therefor I found it a logical place to begin. This info, and other basics, can be found in the Wiki (a sticky thread if I'm not mistaking).
Moving on, the further changes (as I see it) fork into two categories: appearance & functionality.
Appearance can be tweaked with SKtools (really hardcore, i.e. setting the width of scroll bars in pixels) and other tools that modify the registry. There are also some more gentle options, like skins etc.
Functionality can be added by numerous programs, it's really so diverse it's easier to start at the goal than the source. With this I mean there are too many programs to list, specify what you want to do (i.e. navigate, use phone as flashlight, play sweet video's, etc) then people can be of help.
Don't ask us what WE would add/remove, as this doesn't neccessarily apply to you. Furthermore, tip for your next forum post: the more specific, the more answers you'll get!
Good luck, post back when you know better what you want.
I think these threads will help you a little.. Im also first time using this kind of phone (Windows Mobile).. Hang out over here a little and you'll naturally know more

what programs would you remove... NONE I guess
what programs would you add...

Congrats! I just ordered mine today, to replace my Fuze.
thanks dancemacabre that was what i was after,
some of those programs look really good i will have to check them out.
if anybody else has any good programs i should check out please let me know.
i am not very techy but i would like some flashy new things on my phone.
thanks,
I'm planning to buy this phone too This thread is quite interesting
But when I see the Official ROMs thread for Xperia X1, all I see are codes (names) of the roms :-s
But is there a releaselog with the updates? So I can check the improvements/updates with the ROMs.
Probably one of the first I would install is Advanced Config... for me way more functionality than Xperia Tweak... its a must have...
TBH the more you play with your phone and figure out what you want to do with it then do a search based on those goals the more personalised and indespensible it will become...
This is a great phone, bet u will like it replying with my x1 with wifi now..
Imo, TouchFlo3D is good n flashy but its laggy.. and i prefer the default panel as its clean n easy to see
If you really wan a taste of TouchFlo, u can go over the ROM sub-forum and look for itje 's Touch-It v4.5. There're step by step tutorial provided for the installation. Remember to back up always
N a little tips, put your mp3 for ringtones in My Documents in storage card. X1 can detect the folder and u wont need to put ur mp3 in the phone itself!
That's all! Have a nice day
exactly the thread i was looking 4!
I feel this thread to be redundant. This thread basically do the same thing but with bigger success and some active modders:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=507697
As we don't need two of the same threads and I feel I don't have enough time to mod and give in to this myself and not many modders have stepped in. I'm sorry. Consider this thread a good idea but the goal is now in the hands of Zepiii. To hack the hell out of MS 3.0
Good luck Zepiii
Hi,
don't think anyone has missed the amazing pre release of this sweet ap!
I'm a mod freak and there are somethings i would like to change in this prog.
like the programs "tab" only has 3 rows. i want to make this 4. anyone with a bit of experience possibly from the 2.xx series know where to do it?
the configs are simple ZIP files. Just open the DAT file as a ZIP file or rename it to ZIP.
in order to edit the file you need to put in the password which is:
b0fm18zq
Maybe we could custom tailor it and post the modded DAT files collected here. Most of the 2.xx series of mods/skins are portable with a little or no modification except renaming of some picture files (same password in 2.xx). the possibilities are endless
Please remove or correct my post if I'm violating/doubleposting something here.
Regards
/Frewys
DAT Files content:
qa_layouts.dat - This contains only XML files. 61 to be precise lots of interesting stuff! (tried to change the Iconspacing in programs to 24. didn't get my 4 icons row though )
vp_menu_btn.dat - Built in Icons
va_misc_now.dat - Built in system icons
vpw_bkg_now - portrait
vlw_bkg_now.dat - mostly contact icons landscape
va_weather_64.dat - weather Icons largest with XML file
vp_bkg_now.dat - Menu frame
vl_bkg_now.dat - same but in landscape
va_profile.dat - media player and profile widget icons
RegHacks:
adding more pages to lifestyle screen
more buttons in collected start menu
change default sms client (bottom)
Memorysaving (no reghack)
interesting links in similar spirit:
SPB 3.0 today wallpaper
SPB 2.1 skins for inspiration
Great idea. I would also love to see this!!!
Is possible to customise the theme colors that available in mobile shell 3? The existing preferences are to dark(I want a white color scheme). Can we do it by editing a dat file(which?) or a registry hack?

Hi Dancer_69,
I don't know yet. I just played around with it last night before bed. I'm just a NB in this who poked around with this great ap after not being pleased with everything and curious on what could be achived so i dont have alla the answers this is a team effort. hopfully someone with the experience or knowhow checks this. In the meantime we have to do it by trial and error. and map it all as we go along
Regards
Frewys
good to know
I have discovered that Topaz enhanced menus works great with SPB MS 3.0 activated (and Manila installed but not activated in the today screen) so so far its a necessary evil to have Manila installed until we know possible witch file or reg settings are needed.

i'll be waiting one this, happy moddings
adding more pages to lifestyle screen
this could be good for some. Found this over at modaco.com forum posted by turborepu quote:
"add more pages to lifestyle screen.. bg image pan works fine still
hklm/software/spb software house 2/spb mobile shell/widgets/homescreen
change "pagecount" to desired number.. i put 4. soft reset.."
supposedly its tested on 10 pages. the result is that when paned the wallpaper moves less then with three. If wallpaper size changed it will "smartfit" it to be the "correct" size.
haven't tried this myself yet three is plenty for me ATM

I personally don't agree. i like to taylor make my GUI and of course the tastes differ. For instants.. i would like to have it pretty barebone and point to the prefered app of choice like resco contactmannager or glarm witch are the best! IMHO annyway
BUT if one could integreate them somehow that would be great if you had that choice.
right now its really easy just to link to those apps from the lifestyle screen.

Remove calendar from professional layout?
Hi guys
i am trying to figure out how to do something that we were able to do in 2.1, but has been left unoptional in 3.0. I would like to get rid of the calendar on the pro screen. All I want to see is my upcoming appointments (if I have any). I don't want the screen cluttered with a pesky grid-style calendar. I am such a nooB at this it is silly, but here I am, messing around with .dat files......
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
It would be nice to create a backup/restore tool for the settings/today items/widgets/etc...
When updating the rom this would be VERY useful!
is the pre release official? where's the download?
looks good from the youtube demos
Anyone figure out the password for the DAT files yet? Seems they changed it from the 2.x releases
Great idea. I just took a peek inside today, thanks for the breakdown of what some of the .dats do.
I have a feeling we'll start seeing some custom widgets in no time.
and yes, the release is now official.

There is already one in the SPB Shell settings, click the right softkey in settings and there it is, to the left of the exit button.
I tried it myself today, completely uninstalled mobile shell before I installed the official version, loaded the backup and everything was restored in the new version, included widgets and all

I don't see the grid calendar on my pro screen anymore. On the pro settings page, choose "calendar", then change # of appointments to "as many as possible". After doing this, mine now shows the next two appointments.
