Are there any artemis users that run this application??
What are your experiences (especially when it comes to stability)?
Had it on trial for about 10 days
Looks great, and so far no stability issues at all
I love the front screen
I've loved Mobile Shell. But I found I was having to reset about three or four times a day. I uninstalled it and everything went back to normal.
This was with both the O2 XDA Orbit rom and the HTC P3300 rom.
Hi,
I've been using it for almost a week now. no problems at all.
Now screens is just great. everything that you need on one screen with a nice layout. just try it out and you w'll see.
PS. using it on XDA Orbit (orrigenal rom).
I've been using it for 2 weeks now without any problem. Its user interface and functionality are brilliant.
Other users have reported battery leaks with their other PDA devices, but so far I don't have this problem with my O2 Orbit. It's been told that this problem is device-specific incompability. Hopefully it's not a problem for the Orbit.
BUSPBP
Have been using it for few weeks.
Functionality wise, I'd say it is OK, but the lovely Now screen is simply awesome. Also it saves space on Today screen by encompasing few ones i had before separately. Don't use the menu they have as it defaults to launching default applications that come with WM5. I wish in future versions those can be custumized, then it will be simply awesome ... a must must have. Doesn't eat system resources .... a neat app.
Problems - none at all on P3300 with PDAMobiz Powermap 1.1.2 ROM.
I've been using it until my stupid flash accident. After recovery I decided not to install it again. In general the app is very good. I loved the Now screen but 'finger menu' used to drive me crazy. Brilliant idea but wased. I couldn'd understand (or been stupid not being able to find) that there is no customizations of the items locations. Once an item used then it changed its position and instead of speeding access I've been stairing at the screen not seeing where did the f...g app go. I guess it supposed to organise the layout by the frequency of usage but the result was unacceptable for me.
That is my expirience. There is no better way than to try it.
I've had this one on for 2 weeks now and am finding it doesn't play nicely with Wisbar advance 2? After I take a call and it goes back to the today screen or now screen, I lose the wisbar top bar with the buttons on and have to close and restart wisbar to get them back... Anyone else running this combination of software and having the same problem ??
Would love to have a solution to this cos I cant do without either of them to be honest. They're both very cool apps
I've been using it for more than 2 weeks. Like it very much. Only one problem found: sometimes the Battery tab of the Today applet (that contains the recently used programs' icons too) losts all icons and becomes empty. Only soft reset helps.
Since it rarely happens, I can live with it and don't want to get rid of this great app.
And yes: I strongly hope that there will be som customization possibility in the next version of the app. For example I use Spb Imageer for handling, editing pictures, and it is an app from the SAME FIRM, but I cannot put it into the Multimedia section of the Spb menu...
I owe both a Polaris and a Blackstone and, in my opinion, TouchCube is far better than TF3D. TF3D looks nice but let's face it... it eats up system resources, it's laggy, when browsing through tabs it's not very thumb friendly (you have to bend your thumb to the max), you can't customize the tabs position (it would help if they were placed on one side because it would be easier to scroll through the same number of items having at least 30% more room to place the tabs), the so called customization... is way too limited (you get to change the fonts, the tab order, the shortcuts... in the end you'll get the same layout), the multimedia section was divided with the unhappy default association of the video files with an application clearly meant for photos...
So... my question: can the TouchCube be ported on the Blackstone and, along with it the Polaris Audio Manager? Can the Album application be "broken" in two applications one handling the photos and the other the videos?
I was thinking just the other day "what happened to the cube?"
It was pretty cool. Think it would be good a replacement for the action screen thats floating about?
Try duttys ROM with new manila, TF3D is uber fast

and what about ergonomics?
So... I get it that no developer is interested in porting the Cube to Blackstone
I have never tried it, but how about the option "Cube" under HTC TouchFLO when using Advanced Config. How about changing that to Enabled, will that do the job?
I'll make it my next project
I'm currently finishing an animated today screen for this phone while docked but when I'm done that that I'll start work on a cube launcher that replaces the current Program's tab with a custom app that gives you a cube with multiple options for launching programs... icon view, rotate to list view, rotate to cover-flow view etc
Did you try the cube here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336234
Maybe you just have to adapt to wvga screen ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336234
I tried this one instead... installs ok but it's for qvga it starts and then it goes to the top-left corner. the animations work just fine, some of the links must be rebuilt... and that's about it. But... i mus admit it... i don't have the knowledge to port it to WVGA...
I know it won't be free, but what about something like SPB Mobile 3 due out at the end of March? Have a look at around 58 seconds in here:

I appreciate the work of the people at SPB. It seams they did a good job. But... I am not a phonecentric person and something like the cube suites me better. SPBM3 looks like it requires a lot of time to be customized and even when you think you got it you wake up with a fully texted today screen and a directions map to help you swipe through screens...
The HTC TouchCube might seam blunt compareing it to SPBM3 but this is what I like about it... an easy way to launch/hide, easy recognition of the page you're in... i can't explain it very well but for me... the TouchCube is more natural, more organized and a better interface than the windows start menu when it comes to basic tasks.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! SPB Mobile 3 looks great... forget what I wrote before. No need to write what they have already written

it moves really good!
Please resize the cube for vga/wvga would love it!!
yea spb mobile shell 3.0 does look good buuuuuuttttttttttttt its not free cost almost $30 and to be honest like many of you have been saying, i do miss the cube app from the htc touch...that app was very cool an useful plus i loved how when you needed it you just swiped up an when you were done you swiped down an that was that... SO I TO HOPE THAT IT CAN BE RESIZED FOR VGA AND WVGA!!!!!
Mrferrari23
If only I could... I'd do it myself
If it was posible id like the touchcube too, it's more finger friendly imo and it's faster to use. Like said before, if I knew how to do it myself, I would..
Bell UI
Browsing the internet I found the Bell UI. Looks quite nice.
To all the chefs out there... is there a chance to port this to HD? 'Cause I'm kinda' giving up the idea of the Cube being ported to the HD...
get it from their website!!!
"500 - Internal Server Error"
Maybe too many people trying to MS 3
http://rapidshare.com/files/224018311/SpbMobileShell3.arm.cab
Final, 15 day trial, build 6411
The Spb site is really slow...
the bad news.......all the issues that I had before....are still there.
and SPB wonder why we were all so anxious to get our hands on the pre-release so we could test it and give them time to fix the bugs. It seems that they think they know what we want without actually asking us.
haven't experienced any bugs yet, although i fully tested it again.
spb wallpapers
what's about wallpapers for spb mobile shell????
SMS Issue
I have downoaded the trial and is great, really enjoy the way the interfaces works.The problem is when I recieve a text message all teh notifications work but if I try and open the message it won't let me. It gets as far as the in box and then will not go any further, only get to see the first line of the text. If I delete the text and do to deleted items I can then click on the message and it will open fully, alowing me to do whatever I want with it. I f I move it back to the inbox it again blocks me out. Anyone else suffering this?

The wallpapers included with MS3 are 960*748 - I guess, depending on your device, you can create a wallpaper with those dimensions and it should be fine. They can only be applied on the lifestyle homepage, but I am sure in time people will discover ways of having wallpaper for all screens.
How to change wallpaper??
wallpaer - and I love sbp mobile shell
bottom right hand side button on screen (grey), opens up menu at bottom, choose "change background"
I have to say I love this shell, I dispise titanium and TF3D, some love them but each to their own eh.
It even works with davideuk 6.5 rom, i love the use of widgets without having to install anothing else apart from this. It works well, very well in fact. Smooth, fast. Myspace contacts impletmentation works very well, no bugs found yet beyond, only problem is that there are too many ways to get into the same area, too many pages but you get used to it.. oh and if you go into the clock it does not appear to accept changes to date unless you come out and go throug the windows mobile settings page. I give it a 8/10
I have it on trial and will definately buy it when it has ended, it is important to support good developers.
Better and Lighter than touch flo
I insalled it (Trial for 15 days), its wonderfull and the Animation is very smooth that you can't imagine it !!! smoothness like iphone interface and very light and fast (consume less Ram than Touch FLO).
The features and gadgets are great, the weather integration is good but the Touch Flo weather provide Current weather status while this one gives you forecasting for (day, night, Morning).
Its not like touch Flo which is flash content added to the Today Screen as in ITEM ! this one is different and can go back and forth to the Today screen !!
I am now evaluating its stability and if there is no bugs , I will buy it after I finish the trial periods which is 15 days.
mine doesnt work so smooth, like an old Video Card \=
So far it works smoothly and without any problem, memory usage is good, for the battery I am not sure and still testing (IT might drain battery faster than Touch FLO).
I have one problem is I have to use Windows media as Touch FLO Music player is not a standalone program, for the windows media when I open it and play a song the memory usage goes up from 45% to 80% !!!!! very weird !!! I thing the SPB has installed some plugin for windows media and secrewed its memory management !!! when I close windows media memory usage return to normal !!!!
Any Help ?
Great app - small comment
I love it.
It's one of the best WinMo apps.
The only thing I don't like is the kinetic scroll.
I actually prefered those small paging arrows from version 2. They worked better for me, faster and more accurate.
Other than that - great stuff!
No issues so far. You can integrate SPB Weather 2 which offer a lot more info instead of the standard weather. I think the temp displayed is the current temp with that.
The media player stinks and I wish there was an integrated picture browser like TouchFlo. I even miss the stock page but can easily live without it.
I love having both the professional and lifestyle pages, and I love how the background scrolls back and forth on the lifestyle page. It took me about 5 minutes to customize it to a look that I really like.
Also, the scrolling is extremely smooth on my HD.

Many thanks
I like this a lot, it lacks the depth of functionality of TF3D, but hey since it can run with TF3D at the same time you can have best of both worlds.
(I did have to remove it from startup folder to get TouchFlo to start after a soft reset though).

How do you get to the startup folder?
It OK I just found it in Windows/Startup.. Thanks
I've been playing with it for the last week and I love it!
One problem though: it drains my battery faster than Touch FLO.
It's a V12! any tips for getting a bit more battery life out of it?
Thank you all!
Hi there,
as I am interested in a lite rom with Manila but none of the ones offered here works without any problems, I decided to leave Manila in order to use another HomeScreen.
I have already tried Mobile Shell but I think it's too much and too chaotic. Do you have any suggestions for me?
Thank you!
Not free ... but doesn't look to bad (didn't try it myself).
It's up to you make it chaotic

homescreen++
see here, here and here
don't gett irritated by the former name of the product and the old names of the thread.
homescreen is an excellent today plugin which can do almost everything for you.
id suggest you try PointUI although I dont use it..but it looks very nice..
what I used was various combinations of home plugins:
1. homescreen pluplus - I used this one for battery info and how many minutes I used from my programm
2. SPB wireless monitor, to see how much data I downloded
3. SPB weather...this one is really cool for weather
4. MS plugins like messaging and calendar
5. I tried various clock plugins.....like HTC home, but it sucked in kinda way...kinda messed some stuff so I removed it....
So this combination was very sleek and everything...but I got bored from watching on the same screen over and over again...
I forgot to mention that I actually hated TouchFlo.
But then I flashed duttys and kept the TouchFlo and started to love it
contacts connection with facebook and everything...but I still missed some of my plugins like how many minutes I spent and data trasneferred.so I installed MTP (manila today page) and fun just started..I have touchflo and all the necessary info I need...
I hope that this was at least some kiind of help...
I recently picked up my habit of meditating again, and found it rather difficult to meditate for a while without losing track of time or reaching my intended quiet time.
Thus, I have developed MeditationTimer for this. A very simple 1 screen timer that allows you to set the number of minutes you wish to meditate and start it. When the sound option is selected it will play a sound after finishing and go back to the start screen.
Looking for some feedback on how the GUI works and scales on various phones, as it's my first WM application ever. Developed on a HTC Touch Pro 2 running Windows Mobile 6.5
Requirements:
- .NET CF 3.5
- Windows Mobile 6 (6.1, 6.5)
- 1MB of storage
Features:
- Simple to use Sense SDK GUI
- Plays a gentle sound upon completion
Features to implement:
- Delayed start
- Run in unattended mode with the screen turned off
- Display a different form when meditating only showing the time left and a cancel button.
- Configurable sounds
Current issues:
The application currently calls SystemResetIdleTimer() while running, which obviously drains the battery way more than required, as meditating doesn't require you to interact with the phone. I did that so I could already start using it myself, instead of postponing it until I figured out how to get it to run in unattended mode.
Secondly: It plays a stock Microsoft sound taken from Windows 7, embedded as a resource. Obviously not the best sound, but it does the job for now. I do need to replace it.
And thirdly: It's a single screen application. Meaning that everything it does is a bit cluttered as it all happens in the main form where you can start a new session. I'm currently working on this to separate that out, and have a more tranquil second screen just display the time and a stop button.
Will take a look and do some tests.
Thanks, I would love this app if it had multiple timers, with a simple layout like :
http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Business/Time-Tracker/PSH-EggTimer-57867.shtml
That sounds great (and a great idea too).
Thanks to have developped that.
A way that I would like it to work (not for meditating, sorry) should be to hear a beep every past hour (but not at night), maybe is it possible to implement your prog this way.
Thanks for sharing!
after using it I had to reset the phone
Hi
I like your idea of application, I would like to use it frequently,
but after trying it I had to reset the phone, before I could do other things,
the program would not shut down, the button turn of screen did not work.
after the soft reset, when trying again, it did not shut down.
maybe good idea is to have a button with the choice to block all incoming phonecalls, or block all other sounds maybe?
also different sounds would be great.
I am using hd2, with original latest rom, and spb shell 3.5.

Should probably change name of app so people dont get it mixed up with...

What an excellent idea! I am going to give this a whirl too. I have been slacking on the meditation lately anyway. Thanx for the cool app!

I'm using already a long time, if you will include the functionality of this program I will test it out. The screenshoots of your program looks already nice.
Best regards and good luck !

badass app!!!!
I used this twice since install. Both times were 15 mins. The program worked just as it should on Sprint TP2, stock ROM. I really like it. Very simple and functional.
- The pic on the XDA page advertising the app would be perfect for an icon! (There was no icon in the .cab, right? )
