Hello!
Does anybody know a way to add speed dial shortcuts on the today screen?
Earlier I had a SonyEricsson P910i with a handy software that let me put shortcuts on the screen for dialing and sms'ing to specified contacts.
I am using SPB Pocket Plus to add other shortcuts in the today screen and I saw in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=26468 that "vijay555" seems to have found a way to create shortcuts for dialing that he puts on today screen with cLaunch!
Any ideas?

cyberetti -
Why didn't you just ask me for the program!?
I'll try to upload it later today.
I used to use Tracker (I assume that's what you refer to?) and missed the functionality, and really dislike the call prog on the PocketPC. So I made my own shortcut prog. There's probably another VERY simple way to do it, but with mine, you just pass it a command line and it'll dial for you.
Have you seen Wisbar desktop advance? It's moving towards Tracker type functionality.
Will keep you posted.

I suppose I could have asked you directly vijay555, don't know why I didn't actually but anyway thanks man!
On my P 910i I used a prog called "Handy Day" wich added a WM lookalike todayscreen to it, as I said it had that dialing function implemented.
Ill have a look at Wisbar desktop Advance...

Guys, I've posted programs to quick dial and SMS from shortcuts

Tell me how it goes!

Thanks man!
That is absolutely brilliant!
I really enjoy those little tweaks that improve the functionality of the Magician, this is without any doubt one of them!

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
Hi everyone,
the question is simple as you can see on the headline.
I'm testing the trial version of Pocket Informant 8 and that program is great. Nice usabalitiy and functions.
But I only use the SE Panel 2, that one with a monthly calendar, clock, to-do etc. not the main Panel. The problem here is, that PI8 would not fully integrate on that panel. Only the contact list works well, but I use a shortcut. If I would go on the monthly view, the X1 kicks me to the normal calendar.
Does someone know how to make it? I had activate PI8 as the standard calendar as well, but no use. :/
use the SoftKeyApplet.cpl and change the left softkey to PocketInformant
(google for the applet)
Not working

In that case the calendar on the panel screen as well as the agenda items still refer to the old WM mobile agenda. Or am I doing something wrong?
Nobody knows how to solve this?

Nope u'r right, only the softkey for the calendar is then for PI, but the panel buttons are still the old winmob calendar.
Didn't found out anything until now, hope we can get help, I really like the calendar and have no idea how to change the registry savetly.^^
I use PI8 extensively and am thinking of getting an X1 so gonna bump this in the hope that someone has a solution.
thanks!

The only solution I was forced to use is to disable them... they take too long to load anyway, and functionality is limited.
Use the free SPB Mobile X panel instead; on their forums there is a free plugin download, that integrates it with PI 8.

It isn't fully integrated on mine.
I use the SPB mobile panel and have also downloaded the Pocket Informant (PI) plugin from Spb. Now the Calender correctly loads the PI calender but the contacts tab on the spb shell still directs to the win mob contacts page
Anyone found a way to integrate the PI contacts to the 3rd tab for contacts on the Spb mobile panel ?

I think the original WM Today Screen is the best.
It is very flexible and you can add any plugin u want.
Just put some plugins and you are good to go.
I really dont understand why many people overlook the functionality of the Today Screen which can get anything done in one screen. Unlike TF3D, SPB Shell, or the X Panel which have to scroll pages.
To be honest, I tried the touch flo 3d, the home 2, but the only thing I like is the normal, clean windows mobile today screen i like it, its neat , organized, and the xperia wallpaper gives it an elegant look. I alos modified the left menu key to initiate a new sms
what do u think?
I like it's neat clean look, but I prefer using the SE Today Panel.

Same here, a big fan of Winmo Today screen. When I jumped ship from Palm OS to Winmo, the Today screen really makes me forget I ever had a Palm OS device... Although the fond memories of rock hard stability creeps out now and then.
Currently Using itje's incredible Touch-IT v4.5 ROM. The Touchflo is nice, but more of a gimmick then anything else... Give me plain old Today screen anytime.
It just seems easier on the Today screen, that's why I have a lite rom installed, along with TF3d and panels.
I tend to always end up back at the default today screen. Something just nice about it.
Yeah I use it all the time now as it seems to be the most customisable without being fiddley and does all I want it too... I would like a today that is a combination of several of the panels but so far have found nothing that I like more than the normal today...
i use the today screen as my default screen when at work as i like to be in control of how many appointments are displayed, reminders, etc. it's nice to be able to switch to another panel for the weekends though ...
i'm a bit concerned about some of the screenshots for wm 6.5. does the today screen still exist ?
The standard Today just works. Give you access to what a PDA is for, PIM. There is a plugin called TodayAgenda which makes it perfect though.
glad you guys think the same way
btw, any idea how to make a shortcut for the start button? I downloaded a program, H button, that enables me to long press a key and a program comes up... but i want to access the start menu that way

Are you trying to assign a hardware key to Start Menu? If so, go to Start>Settings>Buttons
All this talk is making me want to use the Today panel more! I just tweaked it a little bit and I'm going to give it a try next week.
Does anybody know of a way to get more programs on it? Skype is on the list, and I think TomTom is, but I'd like a couple others.
I need to use the today screen to see the G-Alarm plugin, how much Internet traffic I had this month (SPB Wireless). Also I find it very convenient to use Elecont Dialer (a scrollable row of contacts to call or sms) and Elecont Launcher (a scrollable row of apps).
So I usually end up using it, even if SPB Shell is more touch-friendly. It just doesn't display all the information I need in one screen.
I always seem to go back to the spb panel as my default. its simple and looks clean i think compared with tf3d and point ui. im hopeing that when the new 3.0 shell comes out that it wont replace the spb x1 panel (although i know it will).
I've tried all the panels, shells etc. You name them, I've tried them. As said before, the Touch-IT v4.5 ROM is nice, but gimmicky. I admit I've installed it, but only to get GPS tagging of photos. I untick it in Start -> Settings -> Today -> Items immediately after it's installed.
I appreciate all the work that's gone into developing it, but its way too busy for me
My preferred interface is iFonz 2. The interface can be as simple or as 'busy' as you like. I prefer to have just a few icons of the programs I use regularly on screen as well as icons for the frequently called contacts. Also its very finger friendly.
For the programs that I use infrequently, it's no hassle to find them in Start -> Programs, and contacts are easy to find in iContacts

Hey friends, I'm with you. I think the today screen is one of the best inventions of Microsoft and is really underrated. It just makes sense to have active plugins share the most precious place on a mobile - the information screen after switching the device on. I think the iPhone is ridiculous in this regardö - just showing icons of the programs that can be launched is lame. Also, there are really powerful plugins available for Windows Mobile. I'm personally using the built in date/time and messages plugin together with PocketBreeze for all the organizer stuff and PocketPlus for system status (battery, memory), finger friendly app launcher and additional plugins as tab (spb weather actuall). Then I use the system tray as quicklaunch and for showing the currently selected phone profile from PhoneWeaver and my softkeys start Contacts and WM5NewMenu, with which I can very quickly place a new appointment, SMS, Email, Note and so on. With this setup, I can really use the device, not only play. Everything is just one or two clicks/actions away and I always have a good overview of what's going on.
I really don't understand why so many people want a better iPhone instead of a good Windows Mobile device. Windows Mobile has drawbacks but also strong points, of which the today screen is one of the strongest I think.
I am also a big fan of the Windows today page. I think it's the only one that can be entirely adapted to everyone's need, all other software are nice graphically, but not as effective as a well prepared today page.
Dear Friendly On xda, it is possible to visualize SPB Mobile Shell on my Pocket PC at full screen (hiding the top bar on lifescreen and home spb) so as to render it an interface complete on putting it to all screen it is succeeded to find a solution to the push-button you close?
N. B. My first test:
using the program at bot: " hidetopbar" it does not work seen ke to scompare completely and it is not possible to use the closing button application.
IT'S POSSIBILE TO VIEW SPB MOBILE SHELLE 3.01 TO FULL SCREEN without Close-Button on the top bar problem??
SOLUTION????
Thank you
UP! Attend urgent reply!
anyone? i am interested as well
I am curious about this too! seems so simple yet there is no option for it.
UPPP
solution for full screen??
we hope that the developers can answer us
I don't think bumping this up after almost 1 and a half year, will get me any replies, but any devs out there?
I am interested in something like this too!
Vijaytoggle and togglestart - removes the top bar -brilliant!
but it does not make my spb theme go full screen. Instead of top bar, I have black/background but my spb theme does not expand uptil the top of my screen.
Any ideas?
oh and I am using 6.5.5 custom rom, 3.5.5 MS, mtstmp wm7 theme - if that helps..
if anyone is going to try editing qa_layout file - it won't work with mtstmp wm7 theme. I tried it, my screen got messed up and deleting, edit reg, nothing helps. I had to hard reset my phone!
*bump*
anyone?
another interested!!
anyone?
