Hi,
i have installed a trial version and i only have days before i need to decide...
i got a big problem.
I thought this is a very good customisable program.. but..
1) MY now screen is still the same.. it has clock weather and 4 icons below.. etc THATS IT
how do i - get speed dials on it. a few fav programs/shortcut.
2) How do i auto start it on start up?
i did tried my best to play with my settings but nothing done.. for example.. i tried to customise my now screen but i get a box of installed plug ins showing 0 installed
still the same.. my now screen is just clock weather and a few status icon..
how do i add he speed dials.. frequently used programs etc?

Hi!
You can customise your today screen:
SPB menu->Settings->Today->Items(bottom)
You can add,remove,set things.There are more dial tabs.
OR
my solution:
clear today screen,but everything at hand
I use the now screen set to the left soft button,after that I can use the SPB menu,contacts.
BR.

Hi,
So this means, this new version installs as a panel as well?
This is my main criteria, before I will even try this on my xperia..
Please use "search" function, my friend.
Full version will NOT work as a panel.

You can use the plugins with the SPB Panel can't you?
that plug in is the NOW screen... most of the plug ins available is the SPB products lol
the real deal has a today plug in

DO you guys also have this, that when you run GPRS Monitor & Wisbar, that you if you have the connect icon from GPRS on at the top of the strat menu, it doesn't take the same theme as what you have for Wisbar.
Now you can disable this icon or move it around, but I don't want to disable it, and I now have this funny looking icon standing out from the other icons.
Got the same issue with it, still not sure whether I'll keep WisBar. It's slowing down my magician too much. Probably sticking with SPB plus 3.1 beta.

What does SPB Plus 3.1 Beta do other than what 3.0.4 offers? Are you saying it is now also doing what Wisbar does?
Absolutely not, but it seems more stable now. Nicer icons & better integration with PIE.
I'm happy enough with the multiple SPB tabs.
WisBar is indeed much better looking, etc etc. I totally agree with that.

I value functionality rather than looks

So what's your today-plugin?
i love the look of wisbar.. but yes, i get a lot of lockups now.. and soemtimes my theme disapears! and yes, i get that gprs icon error also.. itll change back to the default icon ad not use the wisbar theme i have.
spb is great, but im not too big on having a bunch of stuff on my today screen... i looked into having shortcuts in my task tray, and i was linked to that .cab someone made called "phm tasktray only.cab" or something..
what sucks about that is, when you go to ADD, you have to manually TYPE OUT the shortcut path.. no way to browse to the program itself.. big hassle ;d
i really dont want to get rid of wisbar, but if it continues to act up.. i have no choice =[
im hoping when i do my firmware upgrade, itl lhelp somewhat.. maybe
I must say Wisbar 2.5.0.1 is working very nicely on my Jam. Haven't had it lock up, or quit to give the normal windows look, it is not slow, starts up properly when I restart. Also had no problems with Pocket Plus 3.0.4, haven't tried 3.1 beta yet.
Me again, the more my today screen shows, the better.
Have anyone see this?

Now it's possible to use finger almost everywhere.
Looks very good.
They've removed the repeating alarm feature which is a deal-breaker for me.
They've announced that they'll be making it available as a separate download later so I hope they follow through.
Other than that its pretty cool.
The touch scrolling is a very nice addition.
So far so good.
As a today plugin it's great, we can add/integrate (almost) everything to it!
Nice
Looks very good.
I like the "finger" scrolling movement.
The problem is the finger scrolling only works with a small number of applications that are defined by SPB. I tried the trial and found that FTouchFlo (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334965) worked much better and also works in every application.
Finger scrolling works very slow in IE on my Artemis (WM6).
I installed it for all of one hour before I lost my marbles and got rid of it, lol... the thing slowed my cell phone down, not too much, but enough for me to be very unhappy with it. Additionally, the autohide function does not enable scrolling if the today screen icons happen to surpass the screen size... and, it disables other plugins I love and enjoy to use such as the Battery Status plugins, argh!
Overall, I could come to love a nifty program like Pocket Plus 4, but I think I'll stick to smaller plugins like PIEPlus and FTouchFlo to cover my needs for now :-S
Just installed on my Kaiser. I looks a lot like SPB Mobile Shell, but the option to add Today Plugins is fantastic. When it doesn't affect my battery or performance too much, this one stays!
I can't tell affect on battery yet, but performance it still ok!
Just posted some screenshots. It looks pretty nice with HTC Home.
i like what you did with the htc home plugin in the middle. nice

Yes, very nice. How did you do that? I notice that it is embedded in your Home Tab.
in case he doesn't come back: if you can't do it by default (maybe you can) there's a reg tweak to make the htc home plugin movable

Can you post the reg tweak?
Judging by johanromijn's screen-shots, it looks like you can make PocketPlus look like MobileShell (without the dynamic icons) if that is true, then if you don't use the Now screen, is there any real benefit to MobileShell?
The one thing I would wonder before trying, is.....do the tabs disapear like MobilShell, or stay constant like old PocketPlus? That would be the deal-breaker for me!!

Sure.
MobileShell is using less memory
But both are for the same price so if one doesn't care about memory guess its better to buy PocketPlus.

The smart scrolling feature is freakin awesome! i dont need pcm contacts anymore since I can touch scroll on the built in contacts and messaging! I can even touch scroll on PIE and file manager.. damn this is good.
I'm using a Hermes and it has no impact on performance whatsoever. It can flip through portrait and landscape in a millisecond (unlike SPB Diary). This is the best today plug-in I've tried so far.

Agreed, on my Apache, it works great I going to see if they will implement sweep right/left to change through letters in contacts or flip through photos, that would be nice.
Also hope they can implement the finger scroll when scrolling through appts. in SPB Diary.
the finger scrolling does not work with resco explorer
I think SPB will not support any products from other companies my friend.
You can still have the touch scrolling feature using this

Does anyone know how to make the Calendar appear on one of the tabs? I've made the same change as listed here for the HTC Home plugin, but it doesn't seem to work for the Calendar.
are there differences between the two in functionality, user friendliness and others?
I noticed the panel doesnt have the now screen functionality (full screen spb following switching screen on)

No, but I prefer the non fullscreen version of the panel - it is nice and very beautifully done. I own the full version of Mobile Shell but I actually prefer the free panelversion
@easycure
I thought I have a PM for you that haven't been replied
any other difference?
Does anyone know if we're able to change the colour of the SPB Shell panel? I can't see any configuration options for it.
Ditto - most usable panel and nice to be able to customise
hmmm, seeing that the spb panel won't be the home screen (I mean like homepage in your browser) by default, so now which one is better? shall I install the program than the panel?
panel disadvantages :
1. rather slow
2. won't be the home screen, that's mean you have to press the panel button and then select the panel to go to it which mean you'll lose media playback (music stops, radio stops) which is horrible.
3. no skin?
Do gestures work in the panel as they do in the full version?
seemed like only a few people use this apps, perhaps majority out there don't even know about it's existence?
both version seem to be very slow. both on loadup, and trying to load something else from the screen. also, the clocks don't even show the correct time for my city.. for some reason, it thinks New York is not on the east coast.. bizarre..
i used to use SBSH Facade. anybody else use that before with any succcess on the x1?
EDIT: Nevermind.. i thought the panels included on the phone were the SPB shell panels, but they're not. had to download it as well on my UK phone from clove. time is correct now.. seems to be more friendly than any of the other panels. does anybody even use any of the other panels? they all seem pretty useless.
It looks like a lot of the customizability and functionality is missing in the free panel version. I can't change the on-screen soft keys on the free panel version and some of the gestures aren't there either.
Anybody else have both versions and can compare? The full version isn't cheap and I'm not sure if the added functionality is worth it.
has anybody tryed this

I installed but the screen is out of x1 screen. seems the sealution is to big.

Yeah, I tried it as well with the same result. Apparently he's working on a fix now
works now.
sreen is fixed
will this work with the panel version or only with an full installation?
Installed it on my phone however it left the SPB panel in a mess, icons in wrong places etc. Removed and then readded the SPB panel to return to normal.
it's not meant for panel.
Ulitmate Launch is a Today Screen launcher that works in a similar fashion to iLauncher or SBP Pocket Plus except it is much better. I have been using it for about a week and i am sold. It is far and away the most useful today screen app and it uses very little memory. You can also set it to not load tabs until they are activated saving even more memory.
Ultimate launch allows you unlimited tabs that can either be placed at the top or at the bottom of the launcher. The tabs can be switched with finger or stylus gestures or by touching the tab you would like directly. The animation for switching between tabs is customizable and offers a cube like spinning which will no doubt keep you playing with your phone more than you already do.
Ultimate launch is also able to nest other today screen plug-ins so you can have HTC home on one tab, Weather Panel on another.
www.ultimatelaunch.de is the website to go get this fantastic application.
You can use standard XP Icons to further customize your tabs and programs.
To find Icons-
Google of course
Deviant Art - www.deviantart.com Awesome site all the way around but many artists on here sharing thier works for free.
CrystalXP - www.crystalxp.net Similart to deviant art.
This is my current set up-
http://img29.picoodle.com/img/img29/4/2/27/f_ULm_bb15642.gif
I have 7 tabs I have it set to spin as you can see I have it set to show all of the icons but blur the inactive icons.
Added some icons http://www.megafileupload.com/en/file/111588/Ultimate-launch-icons-zip.html for you to use if you choose.
this was a good application too bad it has not been updated over a year now ... but i think spb mobile shell had used this idea to make it more useful IMHO
I loved this program on my Mogul...
Too bad he didn't take the next step and try to make it into what second today or TF-Detacher is...
Probably impossible to anyway...
I like it very, very much. Is one of the best ever.
Nice Post
Couldnt find anything newer to plagiarize?

LOL. That's pretty funny.
I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he was just trying to spread the word on a (at one time) great program
