mtkates posted a great SPB mobile shell theme, the VGA customizzation of the DIAMOND SPB mobile shell 2.1 theme http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402021
I have tested it (SPB works in 192 DPI) and works fine on X7500 wm 6.1 ROM!
In the same post there is a mini guide to convert QVGA in VGA themes
WOW! It looks nice, but must be memory hungry application.

Hello...
Can it be use in 96dpi? Did you try it?
Last time I try I need to make a hard reset because my device didn't recognize shell 2 themes!
Regards.
nah its ****ed up in 96dpi
192 works great though, but only 5 tabs? weird
Ah well great none the less

I agree, SPB Mobile shell don't show correctly at 96 dpi, although all functions work. A solution was suggested on how to fix it. I tried, but it did not work for me. I always get a blank screen upon launching SPB Mobile Shell. The device did not froze, I can get out off it using the normal functions. I must have messed up somewhere, but with my innexperience, it was just too over whelming. Although, the suggestion was really a good and valid idea as he was able to make SPB Mobile Shell run on a square screen.
What version of RealVGA are you using? The updated version of this theme (only version I've tried), hangs when trying to go to the 'Now' screen for me.
Got it working with the cab version of 1.1, the files only version didnt work for me so I doubt upgrading would work either... shame, the VGA version looks a bit rough and ready on mine.
None of this works at all at 128dpi. Just in case anyone wondered.
Strange. After I copied all the *.dat files to the device's folder, the spb menu does not start anymore. I'm in 192 dpi.
Tried twice with the same result. Once I recopied the original *.dat files back, it springs back to life again.
Okay, the dat files override method does not work, but a cab file from responderman does it.
I'm beginining to reaaly like spb mobile shell now. It's much more customisable than I first thought.
Edit: Solved. All the skins in those threads for for QVGA only. There are only two VGA compatible theme AFAIK.
After installing spb mobile shell, download and install the cab in this link. It works for VGA devices.

eaglesteve,
I thought i had read in another post that you have been tweaking with the SPB MS 2.1 settings and have been able to speed up the VGA Diamond interface for Athena?? Is this correct? If so, can you share the settings you used because I am finding that although the program works, the interface slows down my Advantage 7501 dramatically and the device speeds back up as soon as I uninstall the SPB mobile shell program.
I am currently running the Taxist Ultra Lite (1st one) ROM

Photons2,
I don't remember having made such a post, but if you come across that again, I've be interested to know too. For me, I don't notice too much slow down yet.
Ok, just checking back, I have since upgraded to the
Sogarth's Base Vanilla Rom (SPL 3.5 and 1.2) which has worked great! The SPB Mobile shell is nice and smooth now and no problemos so far (about 5 hours into it)
If your going to use the Diamond interface with SPB mobile shell V2.1 then I recommend the Sogarths / Irus Vanilla Rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410139
Now if I could just figure out mtkates' tutorial better (QVGA to VGA Mobile Shell Conversion Mini-Tutorial) I could get some better graphics out there however no luck yet...
Check this out: VGA diamond skin for SPB Mobile Shell. Fresh from the ovan.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412052
After installing the standard SPL Mobile Shell, simply copy the files in the above zip into the spb menu shell folder. Done. You now have a beautiful diamond interface.... Well.. not exactly. The layout is still the version 1, which looks like standard Mobile Shell in terms of control but diamond in color. In vesion 2.0, they have layout which gives buttons and controls that resember the diamond more closely. However, there is no VGA diamond skin for that yet AFAIK.
This one works great, and it is a REAL VGA Interface.

Sorry, i forget the LINK.
is the wizard vga or qvga or any at all? and can i use shell mobile stuff one it
QVGA only.
I assume you mean Sbp Mobile Shell. Yes, it's available for WM5 or WM6, according to their website. Not sure why you'd spend money on features that can be had for free elsewhere on this website (see Manila 2d), though. To each his own...
hi every one,is it possible to create groups in contacts of gene?if yes plz let me know how to to dit.
its there in many nokia phones.its so useful to seggregate people by groups eg: i can keep all contacts from office in one group and assign 1 ring tone to all of them in common.plz reply
Not in accessories section...
MOD EDIT
Moved from accessories section.
Well, from WM 6.5 (later builds) you can, but will hardly give you the flexibility of Series 60 Phones on that aspect. I really don't what M$'s mind set it. You can buy Photo contacts pro or Inesoft Phone Extender for that job, but both of them are commercial software, i.e. you have to buy
A quicker method would be to copy all the names and numbers in a word file in Microsoft word....
you can use spb mobile shell
it's an outstanding software which allows to make group,etc!!

But SPB Mobile shell is not recommended for a feeble device like Gene, You atleast need an Elfin to run it properly.

It actually depends on how fast you want your device to be. If you use a good M2D ROM, SPB MS3 can never compete with speed.
Anyways, we all have our choice. My personal opinion is SPB MS3 is too much for Gene. (Well I think M2D the same for M2D too, or for that matter titanium).
P.S. I use WM 6.5 without Titanium or M2D or any other shell .
Since I hate waiting for my device to respond (I had a Gene some time back).
well it's ur opinion
but trust me it's really fast!!!
i'm curious about all the different gui mods. i think there should be a thread dedicated to that but can't find one. the gui mods i'm talking about are ones such as spb mobile shell. what other ones are out there. i've tried a few but there's bound to be more
SPB mobile shell really is amazing. I have a cracked version of the latest one if anyone wants it. The pocket plus is also very handy but its really nothing that a few registry hacks and tweaks can't solve.
SPB Shell tries to eliminate the use of having to use the stylus - a problem with windows mobiles.
i just installed it earlier today and its pretty cool. though at some parts its kinda laggy but it is still great. i noticed that i cant get to the 3d message viewer from the home screen... i have to go through launcher and all that to get to it. is there away to set it to where i can i get it from the homescreen? also is there any other features to use on spb mobile shell?? trying to learn more about it . thanks in advance!

Mobile Shell is at version 3.5.
RE: Does anyone use spb mobile shell 3.0?
I have always used the SPB UI. I love it. I can change everything it. I would sugest you try it.

People who know of me would trust my opinion, because I am a huge supporter and deeply involved with SPB and their software, however, I think you should stick with the trial only. I have rights to the software, but I don't have it installed anymore. I first tried it out, but I just didn't find that it was able to replace everything that Flo3D had to offer. Definitely use the trial for the full time period before purchasing.
