Hey there,
I've been using my Diamond for about 2 weeks now. At first I wasn't all that excited about the device, but since I started using the SPB Mobile Shell it started changing. Now I also have Thumbcall which I find a pretty nice Calender substitue.
Now the question from me to you is:
Can I integrate Thumbcall into SPB?
What I mean is that when I click on 'Organizer' -> 'Calender' and anything beyond that then it not opens the standard WiMo calender but Thumbcall. Is this possible?
I did a little search prior to this thread offcourse but only had one hit, which I don't understand fully. Click
Thanks a bunch in advance!
Cya
EDIT : I have set Thumbcall to the default calender, but this doesn't help.
EDIT : Haven't reinstalled any of the 2 programs.
EDIT : I'm using Thumbcal 1.2.5
Open Thumbcall:
Menu > Extras > Settings > Set as default calendar
Done.
Stupid stupid me, I forgot to mention I have set that option. But still it opens in the WiMo Calender.
Will also update the startpost with this info.
try with new version of thumbcal... for me it's working...
I’m currently using version 1.2.5, isn’t this the lastest already? Click
Also stupid I didn’t mention that in the startpost, will edit again.
Ps. Just found this thread will read it tonight and hope it will solve my little ‘problem’.
*Don't know the policy here about dubbleposting*
I disabled TF3D and when I go to the calender via the Today screen it does openup Thumbcall, why doesn't it do it via SPB then ?
Ok, I realise I had not read your post correctly before. I think the easiest would be to add new links pointing to Thumbcal inside the organizer (If you go to /Windows/Start Menu/Programs there's a directory with some Thumbcal links. Use these).
It's possible that the organizer wont let you add new links. To change that, go to HKLM\Software\Spb Software House 2\Spb Mobile Shell\Menu\Root\Organizer and create a Dword 'Add' with value 1. Now you should be able to add new links in organizer.
Thanks for your answer. I will look into it tonight
EDIT: I partially found what i was looking for. I have added the Thumbcall links to the menu (didn't even know i could add like that). But is it also possible I can add 'Week view' and 'Month view' to this? These two options are not in the first directory you mentioned. Thnx so far, this rulez! Just loving my Diamond, WiMo, SPB more and more
If it is not yet solved - here is the solution, which works fine:

It wasn't completely fixed so thanks. Will look into it next week, very very busy now.

This is really a general WM6 question, but I have a XV6800 so i thought I would post it here.
How do you disable the recent applications/history in your start menu? All I want in the start menu, EVER, is the programs I have checked off in the Start Menu Settings section, and I never want it to keep a list of recently opened applications.
Also, how do you get rid of the "7" programs limit in the start menu? I need like 9 or 10 there (plus they will fit just fine on the home screen since I am disabling recent aplications)
Thanks.
i would recommend getting a start bar replacement like wisbar, that will let you do a lot more customizing. its what i use and i love it.
nope, i need registry tweak/hacks on how to do it. i am not going to install more ram-sucking software when it can be done natively in shell, i just dont know how.

Recent Programs
Hi
I have been looking for a solution for the recent program List
One solution is (i use this now) create another folder in your "windows\Start Menu\XYZ" and copy all (But 1) shortcuts from "windows\Start Menu\PROGRAMS" to "windows\Start Menu\XYZ" And your recent list wont be populated.
As for the limitation of 6 in the start Menu. I did not need to change that so i would not know if you find a solution i would like to know. And besides as other people mention yes WA is a good option.

Worked like a charm thanks!!
Thought it didnt work but then had to set it in the menu to show it and hey presto its all good!
Someone please help me.
I copied the original qa_layouts.dat from my x51v, I wanted to make a 3x3 menu, so I open the Launcher.xml and found that my "mN" entries are different from what I've seen here (xda site).
This is what I have:
<Plugin Class="Spb.LSP.Generic" Name="m0" ID="100">
<String Name="Key" Value="4"/>
</Plugin>
the Key/value exist for all my "mN" entries.
What is the "Key" and how come other's don't have them.
I don't think I can help too much, since I'm still learning, but I've spent alot of time here trying to figure things out, too.
Maybe this thread can help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378367 It's starting from the beginning, but it's an EXCELLENT guide to learn how this whole thing works. (Thanks Dredd67!)
You can try this thread too:

I guess it really depends on which theme and which type of screen you are working with. (I'm using a treo 750 with a 240x240 screen, so my knowledge is pretty limited.)
Hopefully one of those threads can be more helpful.(or try one of the links in my previous answer.) That thread is pretty long, but I'm sure you'll find what you need somewhere in there!
Good luck!
I'm starting this thread where i will post all that small TF3D mods i wrote that do not require separate discussion.
1. Now, here's the first one:
Working analog clock icon
Installation is very simple (for ones, who modded Manila before ): copy files to windows dir, then replace icon reference nodes you like in manila.xml (Actual file name: 26948339_manila)
Code:
<ComponentReference Name="icon_normal" Mode9Path="HTC\AnalogClockIcon.mode9" Component="AnalogClockIconTray" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_selected" Mode9Path="HTC\AnalogClockIcon.mode9" Component="AnalogClockIconOn" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_preview" Mode9Path="HTC\AnalogClockIcon.mode9" Component="AnalogClockIconPreview" />
2. Also, i'm getting numerous requests for my iPhone iconset, so i'm posting it here too.
3. iDiamond Project (Apple iPhone interface mimic) (sorry for the video quality of 2 first videos - shot it with my old Qtek S110)
Step 1: Main Menu concept

I was supposed to finish my paid work by this time, but it turns out to be about a month of work ahead, thus i don't know when i resume my work on iDiamond, so i'm posting an unlocked version of beta here, coz holding you off the software doesn't serve it's primary goal (motivate me to continue project) anymore.

Man, just a quick question:
If i want to add new tabs, i need to disable another to place the new tab, right?
I can't have more than usual tabs and history call AND this clock now, or your calendar, at the same time...
Cheers!

That's NOT a separate tab, just an "active" icon that you can assign to any tab

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=423647
D-MAN666 I know that you said not to ask for impossible cause you still are learning touchflo 3D but maybe it will be possible to make a tab for coreplayer. There is already something similar in SPB mobile shell so the coreplayer could be used instead of WMP or something else (maybe corecodec could help you if you contact hem). Probably its too much but I'm sure that many would admire you for doing this. Maybe it would be possible to use the music tab as a starting point for this.
Cheers and good luck on learning touchflo 3D so in the future you could do everything with it

In the calendar thread. Order values in xml must be sequential and unique. When you install one .cab on another .cab, it just erases other tab's entry, and coz cab can only replace not patch files, you'll have to do that manually.

I have got a bit of a problem though, see screenshot.. it say's "ids_calender" at the top and the menu button and also "i....." instead of the days?? Have i done something wrong or is this a bug? also is it possible to change the colour of the font? i'd like a white version if possible
Do you think it's possible to do an active Programs page, that would show you any running programs similar to a message counter? it's easy to forget what programs you've got running and the reminder on the programs page could be quite useful
P.S thanks a lot for your contribution to Manila editor i'm using it all the time at the moment and it's brilliant (are there any updates planned any time soon?)

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

adding more pages to lifestyle screen

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

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.

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

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.

Hi all, I seem to be having trouble finding any sort of documentation on how to develop Titanium Plugins for the WM6.5 home screen... Is there any information out there that someone could point me to? My plan is to use Visual Studio 2008 (3.5 .Net) if that makes any difference... Thanks for any help.
Well it's all about interaction with registry. You could also use mortscript. even tho Visual Studio can do it too. You just need to write the needed keys to the registry, and point to them in your .cpr file.

I was trying to figure out a similar thing.
I manually added a panel to Titanium called "Battery". What I wanted was a little tool that put the latest battery charge percentage as the panel name.
After a bit of digging I realised the following code kind of works:
Code:
Dim key As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("Software\Microsoft\CHome\battery\Page1", True)
key.SetValue("TEXT1", Status.SystemState.GetValue(Status.SystemProperty.PowerBatteryStrength) & "%")
key.Close()
It does successfully change the name of the first page of the panel to the latest battery charge.
Only problem now is, I can't figure out how to get Titanium to refresh... in other words, how to get it to re-read the registry keys. At the moment, it only works by soft-resetting the phone!

Simply change "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\battery\Updated" from its current value to another.
Has anyone figured out a way to do a registry update or execute a script when a panel/page is selected in Titanium without having to "click" it to update?
Here's what I'd like to do... let's say I have a Twitter panel that retrieves my unread tweets every NN minutes. Sliding left/right switches between the tweets, but as I slide onto a tweet, I want to mark it from UnRead to Read in a registry setting. I currently can "click" it to update the status to Read, but havn't found anyway to do it otherwise.
I asked this awhile ago, the thread sat and went stale with no responses. Just wondering if someone ran across a new trick.
-Daryel
Okay, I have no ability to create panels and such, However I have 2 ideas for panels. One, the BAF Gps Toggle panel and a notes panel where a new page is created for each note (similar to taskanium) Anyone think they could do these?? Attached is the .cab for the GPS toggle if needed.
