Is there's a way to kill the SPB Mobile Shell process to get more free memory ?
Thanx.

In my experience, once you kill the process it locks up your device and/or does nasty things until you restart.... Only option is to uninstall I believe.

Thank you for your answer !

if u dont want uninstall it for future use .... just delete the shortcut under windows\startup and restart

hi,
and dont use SPBWatcher as active Today-Plugin.
Deactivate it after delete link^^ in Autostart and befor softreset.
Or : use another navi like TomTom.
Igo takes much more memory then others...

Ya you can surely do that to prevent it from ever loading... but his topic was how to "kill it" so I figured he's assuming after it had already been run

Recommend SPB Pocket Plus+HButton
Pls, try with SPB Pocket Plus + HButton instead SPB Shell.
Cheer

re
I use the touch task manager from touch commander suite and there is no problem at all.
Moreover, it's easy to use with your fingers.
The best one for me.

Spb Mobile Shell 3.0 stopped TouchFLO3D working

Hi
I installed the trial of Mobile Shell onto my diamond, really just to see what it was like.
However it doesnt seem to have installed properly, and now neither mobile shell or TouchFLO are working. The phone still works in that I can use all the applications, settings etc, theres just a blank screen where TouchFLO should be.
I've tried to uninstall mobile shell using the Remove Programs feature on the phone and also through Sync Centre but it doesn't appear as an installed program.
If anyone could help me fix this i'd be really grateful

I don't know SPB Mobile Shell at all, but u should disable
TouhFlow from Today screen if u want to use SPB....

check the option in "today" if touch flo is flagged. or backup and hard reset

Try SKtools.It has the best tool for removing programs.

you can use both TouchFLO and SPB Mobile Shell.I have done it and I wrote a way to do that in the SPB Mobile Shell 3 Thread.

the same thing happend even to me. just disable touch flo and than try to install again spb mobile shell.after that reset your mobile phone and u will have again spb. than u can find spb in your unistall list so that u can uninstall. do a soft reset again and than u can activate yout touch flo.
myself i did this and it worked perfectly.

Ah yes that worked thanks guys

What's the best way to enjoy SPB Mobile Shell 3?

Hi all,
Currently, SPB Mobile Shell 3 is developping well, a thread is about all tricks is available HERE
But, as you can see, there is still some lack of usefull things... like Album viewer, Music player incorporated... I remarked there were an easy way to go back to the TODAY place...
That's why i am asking you this question:
What program is for the best to run with SPB Mobile Shell 3?
#1 Win 6.5 Titanium, which ROM and why?
#2 Win 6.5 Titanium, using WM 7 project
#3 Win 6.1, new start menu, which rom and why ?
#4 Win 6.1, old start menu, which rom and why?
#5 ROM isn't important, just configure well the today, explain it to us!
#6 SPB Mobile Shell is perfect for me.

Sorry if this is a dumb question but you can't really use the titanium plugin with Mobile Shell 3 since they both take over the today screen so I'm not sure I follow the poll..
Personally I use Mobile Shell with WM6.5 and have mobile shell overwrite start menu.
I still think Manilla2d is better but am still testing out mobile shell for the time being.

I tested SPB MS 3 on my Diamond with:
new Startmenu(Topaz)
TF3D
TodayAgenda on today
TFDetacher
I found it quite good to have all these three things running, but due to the LARGE memory footprint i banned SPB MS.
If there was an option to disable several pages to free up some ram (e.g. favourites carousel is quite redundant and just to show off, not to use), I might get back.
Also the lack of the former lock screen (Password lock overlay) was quite frustrating.

To go wm 6.5 from 6.1 when using SPB Mobile Shell?

Hi there!
I don't like manila / TouchFLO / Sense. I use SPB Mobile Shell and I'm quite contempt with that. I'm on WM 6.1 -would there be any reason for me to move to WM 6.5? I mean in terms of functionality?

windows 6.5 and SPB shell
Hi,
I've just updated my windows and found a lot of interference from windows 6.5 when using the sbp shell. Im considering to go back to 6.1.
If anyone can help to get 6.5 to work with spb shell please do.
Thanks!

Thanks, I guess I'll stick with 6.1 for now

No reason at all really, SPB Mobile Shell hides the interface of WM6.1 very good and you hardly see it. WM6.5 is laggy and unstable imo so I will stay with 6.1 for a while..

Cool, I'll do the same
I just hope SPB Mobile Shell will run smoothly on the HTC Leo when I get my hands on it

No worries dude, if it can run WM6.5+HTC Sense 2.5/2.6 it will 100% run SPBMS without problems.

i think manila is much better than spb

spb shell 3.5 and wm6.5
i am using spb shell 3.5 with wm 6.5 for a couple of weeks without any problems.
The improvement of wm6.5 which is more finger friendly than 6.1. Is a better match for MS3.5.
Athorwise it doesn't matter much, what you use, because you're using MS3.5 most of the time.
You have to manually disable HTC Sense. Without third party applications they don't work well together.
I use tfd detacher to switch between them, but the downside is that it uses a lot of resources.
HTC Sense looks nicer but MS3.5 is more flexible and efficient when you design the lifestyle screen(s) to your needs.

I haven't tried wm 6.5.
From what I learn about the information of wm 6.5, I don't find anything that worth upgrading. I will stick to wm 6.1.

Feedback
I have installed SBP Mobile Shell 3.5 over my WM 6.1 and it works great .
I like below features of Mobile Shell:
- Multiple pages in home page (placed side by side), which can be used for multiple items in home page.
- Beautiful scrolling/touch.
- Widget features that can be placed anywhere in home page (in all pages).
There are couple of issues too:
- There is NO interface for making calls to a new number.
- We need to use the Luncher - Programs - Phone.
- But the other features of the call window does not work. Like we cant open the call history/contacts etc from that screen
Also refer another similar thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=573320
Thanks.

You can press the call button or you can add the phone as an widget.

Press call send key?

Yes I know that and that is what I said in the post.
It does work by pressing the call key or adding the widget of the Phone too.
But the issue is:
- Other functions on the call window (like the opening contacts during call) etc does not work .
I am not sure how offen you open you contacts during a call. Which is NOT possible when you have SBPMS installed . Similarly there are many other issues too.
Thanks.

Indeed the functions on the call menu work only when touchflo3d is activated.
I think the shortcuts go to the actual touchflo3d.
Maybe there is a registry change so you can point them to the actual program and not to the touchflo3d alternative.
My workaround is press Startmenu - Today and from here anywhere you want.
You can read about this problem in the SPB shell forum under Topaz/Rhodium Dailer issue. They know the problem. The question is why is takes so long to come with an answer.

Yes. That is TRUE. It does work when TF3D is ON.

Ohh OK. Thanks for this info. Infact I did a post in their fourum, but no reply yet.
May be we need to wait for 6.5 from HTC for TD2 and may be that will be more user / finger friendly.
But it is sure that it will NOT have the beautiful Multiple Pages in Home Page .
Or a newer version from SBP with a Phone/Call widget similar to default dialer.
PS: also I found the image viewer from camera menu is much better in default WM 6.1 than SBPMS.
Thanks.

Mobile Shell 3.5 is slooooow
I was extremely happy with 3.0 and decided to upgrade to 3.5. I like some of the extra features a lot but I quickly noticed that this eye candy has two major drawbacks:
- My battery drained twice as fast, reminding me of my Diamond 1
- The - otherwise very attractive - GUI is slower; opening the Wireless Manager takes 1.5 seconds and other operations that were very swift before were now slow and shaky
So I reverted to 3.0 (I have build 6501) and things are again what they were before: fast and beautiful!

I don't experience any decrease in speed jumping from 3.0 to 3.5
And my battery life improved
So I guess there must be different effects on different ROMs, settings or other stuff...

[Q] Cookies home tab OR spb mobile shell?

Can anyone tell me whether to install Cookies home tab or SPB mobile shell to my hd mini...And will it slow down the device if i install any of these?
And please add the link where i can get the software...
thanks!!!

SPB Mobile Shell
I have SPB Mobile Shell and it´s more quickly then CHT.

SPB mobile Shell 3.5.5 runs very well ^ ^

CHT could be tuned to run faster and it is free.
Just set 'Simple animations' and everything go smooth

Are there any themes for SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.5 compatible with the mini?

and version 5.0 you know or have?

I like Spb Shell 3.5.5 and its potentials.
But why is it so slow? Especially when going back to homescreen.
When you press home button, it takes at least a solid 3 seconds before homescreen shows up. Sometimes a bit longer.

This "dillemma" can be solved easily
As CHT is freeware, try this one first. If you like it, nice! If you don't just take your wallet and get you SPB Mobile Shell But I think, CHT is very nice

CHT is slower than SPB mobille shell 3.5.5

but I thought CHT didn't work with HD Mini, due to screen sizes being different and the developers have said they are not going to produce one for the mini screen?

There is a HVGA port Search the forums a little bit and you'll find

My MINI crashes often with SPB
Tried both CHT and SPB. My feeling is SPB works a bit smoother: specifically at start up: I don't get the screen with CHT that I defined. First I needed to swap to another page and back before it was as I defined it to be.
But in SPB, I had quite some freezes which needed a soft reset. And after removing, I had to do a hard reset to get rid of it completely. Now I work with os of the standard rom and downloaded a view small enhancement packages like the HD_mini_ProgramsTab etc.

it's not a port, version 3.5.5 supports hvga resolution
i've been using spb for now, coockie didn't seem to do it for me, i got used to the spb shell.
you can always try the spb as a 15-day demo on marketplace (can give you the cab if you like), which is pretty nice
if you don't like it, try cht, it's free and highly customizable
as far as themes go, i haven't had any luck finding one for hvga res i liked yet, most devs keep the hvga for last

What does this "HD_mini_ProgramsTab" do?
Is there a way to solve this SPB freeze?
