is there anyway to add shortcuts to the default windows today screen. i have a communications shortcut there at the bottom of the today page but i dont know how to add anymore. can i do this without having to purchase spb launcher?
There are a lot of 3party software that do such a thing. you can either try phm launchtray oder VJTraylaunch (which i prefer) just do a search for traylaunch and you´ll find some threads about it.

I'm not completely sure if this will work with WM5 but if you go into your file explorer with your PDA and then navigate to Windows\StartMenu , you'll find each of the shortcuts displayed in the start menu.

Have you tried going into Settings>Remove Programs(or whatever its called for WM5) and removing anything you've installed associated with the dialer and then trying again?

2. I suggest if nothing works for you then try install Schapps Advance Configuration and enable phone skin. Remove all custom dialers before trying this tweak.
1. Go to Settings>Personal>Menus. Check where the those items are unticked. (This is as per as WM6.)
thanks for your effort guys but these items do not exist any more in SETTINGS--PERSONAL--MENUS
I have picked up a bookmark from the favourites menu and pasted it in the start menu with this i am now able to open internet explorer.
for messaging i have enabled it on the today screen with SETTINGS--PERSONAL--TODAY--ITEMS AND CHECKED MESSAGING
but there are no icons for calculator and notes
Ok..normally Menus is a Windows inbuilt program.
Anyways use a file manager like Total Commander and go to /Windows.
There you would find calculator.exe and notes.exe. Create shortcuts and post it wherever u want.
HELP NEEDED: deep linking to SPB Mobile Shell folders, applications, add menus & more
What is available:
Post 2:
LNK (direct links) to much files. (I need to rewrite the post, it's a bit confusing but the files work).
Post 3:
1 Custom menu addon (Games menu, the most off you probaly already know) with LNK file (direct link).
10 CUSTOM menus with LNK files (direct links)
Post 9:
Register file that let´s you customize menus that couldn't be customized before.
What's coming, what i'm working on:
- In the near future
Working on icons attached to the links into mobile shell (it's working with SK Shortcut manager)
Working on a "repost" for the posts under here (better english).
It's going to take a while, because i'm working hard personal (on my MCSA!)
HELP WANTED !
for the following:
- Things i want to sort out (will take longer, or will never be created, or do you help me?)
How to create CAB files for the custom menus.
Figure out how to add custom Icons to the things you add to the menus:
You can add an icon by extending the command with a "?", followed by the dll/exe file that holds the icon, and adding the index of that icon in the dll/exe file (you need a resource editor to find the index).
The following is a shortcut to the memory applet, with the memory module icon; note the questio mark, and what follows:
Code:
22#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4,2?shellres.dll,-13900
So, i need to figure out what this exactly means.
It's working with SK Shortcut manager, but there's got to be a easier way
- Requests: (Can you help me?)
LNK to the weather page (The page you get after you hit the weather icon on the now)
Probaly LNK is not possible, tried already somethings with Mortscript.

LNK files: SPB shell actions from SPB Menu (folders & applications)...
Hello all,
I was playing around with Shell and found something that some people might like... Linking directly to the folders that SPB Mobile Shell uses.
Example:
I'm using Ultimate Launch, now with one touch off a button from the today-screen i can see active tasks, see the phone profiles and even deeper in the folders and start directly programs that normaly only can be accesed by opening spb menu (create ink/text note instantly, set phone profile instanly).
Opening a shortcut [Organizer].lnk with notepad did show me:
130#"\Program files\Spb Mobile Shell\MenuLauncher.exe" -cmd:"\SOFTWARE\Spb Software House 2\Spb Mobile Shell\Menu\Root\Organizer\"
Example off a created .LNK file:
128#"\Program files\Spb Mobile Shell\MenuLauncher.exe" -cmd:"\SOFTWARE\Spb Software House 2\Spb Mobile Shell\Menu\Root\Messaging"
If you save this as a .LNK file, you can acces the Messaging menu from spb mobile shell.
I'm using:
SpbMobileSHell2.1.1 NL arm (but it should work with any SPB Shell 2.* version)
Looked in the register how to "code" the file and it worked
Making *.LNK files is pretty easy:
Open the files attached on your device to see the effect.
Open the files attached on your desktop PC in notepad to see the "code".
I did not test this on other devices or with other versions. I've putted all the files in one ZIP file. Personaly i like the phone profiles & Mediaplayer links allot
* the dutch version (i personal use) has the link "Programmabestanden" instead of "Program files"
What is in the zip file: direct link (LNK file to run on your device) for:

LNK files nothing to do with spb mobile Shell:
New SMS.LNK
New Email (OPEN IN NOTEPAD FIRST!).LNK
20#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "HERE" -to ""
You need to replace the word HERE with the name off your emailclient.
Also delete everything except the first line and save it with LNK extension.
---
What is NOT in the zip file (but can be done when much requested):
Settings: All the links that are in "SPB Menu" can be created as an *.LNK file.
Browse files: Needless in my opinion.
---
- Tips:
You can place the files on your storage card and run them.
They are very small files and some off them can be usefull to place in Windows\Start menu
Use them for sorting your today plugin like Ultimate Launch (place links directly into a "deep" spb menu).
Please reply how it's working an what the "wishes" are.
CUSTOM Menu adding & direct linking to them.
Only english version for now
Adding extra is in my opinion simple:
1: copy the files to your device.
2: import the *.reg files (i use sk-tools, but there are many more).
3: look under customize menu to see (activate and change) the new menu.
4: open the *.lnk file to go directly to the menu you just added.
---
Games.reg is a file you can find all over XDA and adds a new menu that you can customize to the spb menu.
An LNK file that links directly to the menu Games wasn't.
They are both in the attachmend Games.zip
----
But why only add 1 menu if we can use more off them?
I've created a *.REG file that adds 10 menus.
Don't worry about "to much", because they're all under 1 created menu.
The Custom.reg file will add the following menus:
Under the root a menu Custom and in that menu 9 submenus (named 1-9).
Also in the zip file there are 10 *.LNK files included to link directly to the menus.
---
Hints/Tips:
Use them to sort your favorite programs like:
1 - Office applications
2 - Navigation applications
3 - Create new... "menu"
4 - messenger applications
5 - and so on...
After you've done that you can link directly to your own created menus with the *.LNK files included in the attached file.
---
Need a *.LNK file that you can't find? Post your request and i will see what i can do...
For the custom menus, to which folder on my device should I copy the files?

Sorry for the "mess" in the first 2 post. I'll make them better in the future (now trying to create som CAB files).
Step 1: Copy all the files (unzipped from Custom.zip) to your device.
Step 2: Import the custom.reg file to your registry
Step 3: Go to customize menu (in SPB Mobile Shell) and see & customize the new custom menus.
Step 4: Open the *.LNK files from anywhere on your deveice to go directly to the menus.
There will come 1 new folder (named Custom) in the root of mobile shell.
In that folder there will come 9 folders (named 1 to 9).
[Request] Weather Page?
I was wondering if you have a link to the Weather page in Mobile Shell? The page you get after you hit the weather icon on the now screen...?
Thank you VERY much Very nice discovery. Your instructions about the files you included are a little unclear (maybe it's just me) but I can figure it out Thanks!

For now i cannot find it, but i'll be searching
You can also try and play with your register:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Spb Software House 2\Spb Mobile Shell\Weather"
and an LNK file with something like:
130#"\Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell\MobileShell.exe" -cmd:"\SOFTWARE\Spb Software House 2\Spb Mobile Shell\Weather"
or
130#"\Programmabestanden\Spb Mobile Shell\MobileShell.exe" -cmd: -now,2
or
130#"\Programmabestanden\Spb Mobile Shell\MobileShell.exe" -cmd: -weather

It's not you, but my bad english...
I was creating them, discovered more options while writing the big post (so it got messy).
I'm working on more and will clean up the posts when releasing a "big update".
I guess all the files are working correctly on your device?
Customize SPB Mobile Shell more...
In the attachment is the file Adding Items.reg
Import it with your register explorer and you'll be able to customize SPB Menu more. The effect is visible under customize menu from mobile shell.
The strings under here are added:
"Add"=dword:00000001 added in the following folders:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Spb Software House 2\Spb Mobile Shell\Menu\Root\]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Spb Software House 2\Spb Mobile Shell\Menu\Root\Messaging]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Spb Software House 2\Spb Mobile Shell\Menu\Root\Organizer\Beam My Contact]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Spb Software House 2\Spb Mobile Shell\Menu\Root\Programs]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Spb Software House 2\Spb Mobile Shell\Menu\Root\Settings]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Spb Software House 2\Spb Mobile Shell\Menu\Root\Tools\Browse Files]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Spb Software House 2\Spb Mobile Shell\Menu\Root\Tools\Phone Profiles]
Hints/Tips why this is usefull:
A few examples and how to use it (after going to customize menu):
Add Beam, Bluetooth to "Beam My Contact"
Add Total commander, the search function to "Browse Files"
Add your phone programs to "Profiles"
Add gmail app to "Messaging"
Adding folders manuelly will not give you the chance to make a direct link to it (it's not created in the register for some reason).
Task Filtering within Mobile Shell possible?
Hey cool stuff you are doing here, I was wondering if it was possible to create a link to Organizer/Tasks/ and then an argument to launch the filter menu within spb mobile shell and choose which category to add to the filter.
Thanks

It's a long time i used this files...
I don't use them anymore (also not using SPB Mobile Shell anymore, maybe version? 3)
Anyway:
Not sure what you mean, the exe files i suppose.
Create a shortcut to the files in "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\"
If you do that you can link them up to SPB Shell and Buttons.
Good luck
no MenuLauncher.exe
Hi, I want to use your shortcuts, but I don't have MenuLauncher.exe
The Spb mobile shell came with my xperia ROM and it's version 3.0
can you give a link to this file?
Thanks.

Hi ssj5trunks,
great work. TNX for publishing the new version(after all this ...) as freeware.
Works great on LG-KS20, animation speed has highly improved and settings of 1.0.4 are taken over. File browser is pretty cool.
TNX again

Excuse me for being new at this, but when I click the weather tab from my HTC Diamond it doesnt give me any weather information, do I need to download some kind of other weather application, and if so, what do you recommend?
thanks in advance
thanx for another great update...just noticed how the bottom row of icons are pushed further down the screen covering their reflections and no longer push the icons to the corners when opening programs
Cavolo, ora il rendering è perfetto (ad eccezzione della visualizzazione orizzontale) sul mio Glofiish M800 e se non sbaglio il software ora è molto più leggero !

I will be installing this later tonite. SInce it's a .exe file, must we use ActiveSync or just run the .exe on the fone? I am using KS20.
the unzipped .exe file -- vs. -- cab file
Hey that confused me too... So I just clicked the .exe file on the phone device, and ifonz launched as usual.
But still, that would be a major change in installation procedure. hopefully ssj5trunks will explain.

Cool, so there;s no more isntallation, eh? Just put the files in the folder and the magic application runs like a gem.
Spanish Translation BETA (recently cooked ):
My LG KS20 is running on iFonz 1.1.2 now. Whoa....... WOW!!! YAY!!!!
1) It runs at least 50% faster than the older one
2) Graphical sharpness is like 50% better (very clear!!!!)
3) The 'setting' display is sooooooooo sharp and nice now.
Brings me lotsa smiles!!!
By the way, I did not uninstalled the 1.0.4. I copied and overwritten the folders in 1.0.4 and the "iFonz" program in "Remove Programs" dissapear when I run it for the first time. Is it okay?
(reason for not deleting because worry newer version will not run, like S2U2 1.3 vs 1.22, my KS20 can't run v1.3)
Amazing
Great job :eek :
I am impressed, this plus the new S2u2 and PCM keyboard on the Diamond look amazing and snappy. Touchflo will have to keep quiet for a while.
Thanks
I hv problem running the new S2U2 v1.30. When I wake up my KS20, my S2U2 keeps hanging. I have reverted back to v1.22 which is much more stable.
One question 4 Diamond users: Is only me or anyone more have iFonz too slow changing froms pages?
All animatyions are too slow (tf3d disabled)
It might be because you have a cooked rom.
There is a little load time when launching an app but except for that it's all good.
I have turned off the fading effects though in Ifonz settings.
It might help.
I want to try the Omnia D3d drivers as well to see if it makes any difference.
I have been playing with an idea to re-use the UP gesture on the Touch to do something else since it isn't used with the new M2D interface.
I wanted a quick way to launch the Programs screen without having to open the start menu first.
Here's what I did (you could adjust to do something else like launch a media player or something):
1. Create a shortcut in the windows folder to "\windows\folderview.exe" and call it "biotouchLNK.lnk"
2. Copy Vijay's excellent VJBrisk.exe to the windows folder, renaming it to biotouch.exe
3. In Advanced Settings (I used Onyx so this is built in for me) set cube to Enabled
4. Restart
Now whenever I want to launch programs I can just use the UP swipe and it appears.
Hope this is useful to someone.
