Herald Today Screen Modification

Hello all,
i m new here but i am watching all p0sts about herald for a long time because i have one also...
Here's my question...is there any program like SPB MOBILE SHELL that can customize your today screen with out pay?? SPB shell is really helpfull but i cant find anywhere a non trial version with out pay:/
my sec0nd question..is there any other program to describe your tasks in your today screen ?? i ve tryed couple of programs but nothing..:/still saying 1 2 3 active tasks..:/
my last question is about loading cyrcle in ppc is there any way to change that???
Thx For your Help :>

Spb Diary come in my mind for your second question, it's not free but in my opinion its worth the money. Another program is called Today Agenda, haven't had my hand on it but I guess others here did.
The HTC Touch Today Screen can be an alternative to Spb Mobile Shell. It can be found either here or in the Wizard subforum. It's somewaht free, but it really slows down you PPC alot and takes away at least half of your screen.

yes but htc touch is for wm6..:/ any 0ther program??

I tried installing the HTC Touch Today screen from the wizard forums but didn't seem to work
I think I saw some registry settings on the same thread but didn't have regedit thingie installed so I'll give it a shot later

What language does your OS have.
I had to change the .mui files into 0407 for my german Terra.
And for registrysettings - use totalcommander. The best filemanager and FREE - and it has regedit, ftp, and lan service.
Good luck

As papamopps said, you just have to "localize" the plugin. It is only one .mui.0409 file you need to rename. If you use a good file explorer like TotalCommander you will be able to find and rename the file. I guess you are not using an English device so you should find that particular file easily in the Windows folder. After that uncheck and check the plug in from the settings menu.

shell for smartphone

I copied this treat from ''upgrading/modifying and unlocking.
I think I put it first in the wrong directory.
Maybe I got more respons here.
-------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
For pocketPC users there is spb mobile shell.
Is there for smartphone users also any programm that change the shell for wm5/6? Or is there anyone who likes it to make such programm?
What I would like is a shell that gives tabs in the top of the screen:
1st tab is the homescreen.
2nd tab is the startmenu.
3rd tab could be contacts.
other tabs could be opened programms.
- Switching between the tabs could be done with the softkeys.
- In the top of every tab could be an X button (or tab close with 0 or something).
- Softkey functions of any programm could be done with select the menus or the * and # botton.
- a little settings app where the user can set the use of which buttons and the order of the tabs (may be more)
If someone is so friendly to make such programm he/she can also think about other functions to add.
I hope there is anyone who can and enjoy it to make this. Me and (I think) many other users will enjoy to use it.
greetings,
Niels

nobody?
does nobody understand my idea?

But there are no native VGA skins... In each case it's resized QVGA skin, so the quality is very poor ;(

Can anyone post their VGA themes here? I can't understand their language so I can't register

I'll try and dig up my hacked version of the iPhone VGA theme that was from the clownfish one on ppc-theme but without the fish background and put it up later on tonight.

Ok here's the files I used to get it working. I did some editing of the original clownfish files to remove their original background but still able to keep the icons and menu bar. Works like a charm for me. qa_layout and the games.reg enable the 9 button support.
Enjoy
clownfish = iphone vga clone that they did on the ppc-theme site.

Al i want is the diamond look in spb 2.1, like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402021 ..... who can me help with that??

Is this a native VGA or a resized QVGA ?
Can you post some screen shots ?

I believe it's native vga. Like I said I just simply extracted the clownfish cabs and used the .dat files I needed and modified them accordingly to remove the fish background so I could just use the default colour theme backgrounds that come with it.
Basically it's the bottom menu bar, and the icon pack for the program menu. The rest is all default SPB stuff, but it works nice for me.
You can see some pics of basically what it looks like at the link below. Honestly I'm too lazy to screenshots and upload them, sorry, heh.
http://mobileshell.ppc-theme.com/page 4.html

Is this all the themes that we can get ???
what are the chances to have some of the amazing stuff that posted in the SPB Mobile Shell 2.1 Theme / Skin Collections Thread ???

...hm, ok...do you really find these, which are mentioned for VGA ?
I have downloaded some and they looks excellent on my MDA Pro (which is 640x480).
BTW: At page 12 you find the Diamond theme in VGA.

Problem for me, my MDA has not enough memory and when I tried to open the weather panel, the PDA freeze

Hello,
if you refer to this: Skin Vga Diamond mtkates Xda
this is an issue qvga reduced to vga.
So the graphics are poor because all the images were magnified losing definition.
Thank you
Hello

any news about our issu ?

Hi
1) As I understand since vga users are not enough no one tries to develop VGA theme .
2) May be some one can post the tutorial on how to make a vga theme and we start together one step by one step . the result will be excellent .

I post a request for help on the SPB Mobile Shell 2.1 Theme / Skin Collections Thread.
please suport my request here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2393807&posted=1#post2393807

It's not really a VGA theme but a blown up QVGA. But I made a VGA version of the diamond touch clock which is used in the "layout_C_3_contacts_vga" theme.

If you want Diamond Look on your VGA device just use Throttle Launcher with TouchFlo3D theme.

Samsung i900 + HTC Diamond Theme?

Are there any HTC Diamond themes out there that are working with the 400x240 resolution of the Samsung i900?

None at all?

I don't Believe the Omnia is even out yet. At least its not in North America. Wait a little longer and I'm sure someone will start on one. But its real hard to make something functional from just a few screenshots.

Some HTC Diamond Skins for Omnia Pls...
Hey guys, just got my Samsung Omnia i900 last week and that is how long I've been searching for HTC Diamond Skins for my phone...so far no luck. Every skin that I transfer to my phone? The Mobile Shell hanged without fail. It would certainly be great if somebody can come up with some cool HTC Diamond Skins for Samsung Omnia...dying to lay my hands on some cool skins....

yeah man..ive been using my Omnia for abt a month already and all i can use is the standard SPB Mobile Shell 2.1 software..
It would be ****in' cool if someone could create a HTC mobile shell theme specifically for Omnia's screen size and resolution..

You could try Throttle Launcher with TouchFLo3d. You will need to set the height of Today plugin manually in Throttle Config, sorry I don't have mine installed at the moment I just flashed to H1 but just play with the value til you get it right. Also uncheck full height, and uncheck hide softkeys. If you don't do this there are problem with the bottom navigation bar hiding behind the soft keys after rotate from landscape.

Join the club, nothing exists for a WVGA screen yet either (Xperia), though can't wait, they are going to look great!

Strange.....
I Have a Diamond and i love the Omnia Theme
yet people with Omnia love the diamond skin......
Strange Indeed

Sorry for being thick, but how do you install the theme? I have unzipped the file and its given me a shed load of files.
Thanking you in advance

More skin here:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PU2LZ60P
Credits goes to Mikibest.
To install the theme, simply copy all file in the skin directory and paste in the same directory of Spb mobile shell in the device, then soft reset.
Enjoy it and sorry for my poor English.

open ur hp folder using activesync.then go to program files.look for the spb mobile shell folder.then copy and paste the load of files u unzipped and replace it with the ones inside the folder..then do soft reset
hope u understand..

on Modaco there is a "Mikibest" pack version 1.1 (whatever that means).
It has some mort scripts that allow you to switch between one of several different skins and rapidly test them out without a soft reset.
All Omni Size.
I have yet to find a use for the Samsung Widgets. Aside from the notifier and the clock, they are pretty much useless. I had been using Samsung home 2 (which is similar to HTC Home)
Most of the functionality of Mobile Shell is built into the Omnia with the Samsung today plugin, a weather plugin and their main menu, dialer, and contacts etc.
My only gripe is the lack of 3G in north America and the fact that it has fewer buttons than the Kaiser and Titan.
I like the one screen keyboard. Together with the G sensor and haptic feedback, I prefer it to my kaiser keyboard.

May i just ask, how do i install this theme on my omnia, i'm new to this and i'm not quite sure.

What today shell you really use?

titanium
I use titanium with the wm7 skin (+showaco wheather and appstar fave peoble plugin)
wm 6.5 (21500) is today use ready and it`s like an normal finger frindly handy menu....
thanks to all developers and rom creators....

spb Mobile shell ..
cause it is beautiful , reliable and easy to customized ..
Thanks ..

Now i use m2d and ms3 together but still i prefer m2d,
ms3 has more options and more effects but m2d works faster and its more practical with m2d i can do same actions quicker in less moves then ms3...
Found here TF3D, seems to be working for QVGA...tried on wm6.5 rom it didn't works...said its needed rom with opengl,
so if some1 tries and its working please report!
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=465507

Sorry to ask this... but how does titanium looks like?
solved
never mind... silly question.. its WM 6.5 titanium shell. hehehe....

3 devices all titanium fully customisable, simple, nice and sleek ...

In all these three I miss my tasks display on the today screen which SPB diary provides me ......

SPB mobile shell V.3 with close eyes!!!! M2D is very good but i think SPB is better. Titanium???? HA!! This is a joke.

Ever since Mobile Shell 3 finally came out, I've been using it. TouchFLO is just too much of a chore, and a little too simplified for my likes.
Getting one more head start, my new Polaris should be arriving within a couple of weeks.
