In different threads I see different meaning about SPB software and their performance on WM6 especially about the memory consuming.
I think it a good idea to discuss the sbp software in this thread in stead of the other treads. In the other treads this thread can be referenced when needed.
Can you reply to in this thread which SPB software you are using in WM6 without any troubled?
Thanx!

Yes, I use SPB Diary & SPB Backup as well. I used to have problem with the SPB Backup (v1.5) but the latest version 1.6 Built 2753 is ok, I do not have issue with Full Backup. According to the change log, this version is designed to work with WM6. So if you have problem, try using the latest version..
Any success with SPB Time anyone?
Hallo alvinlim28,
i update no the Spb backup..
no works very good.
only one thing.
The comment after the backup is
"i can not backup the file btdisk.tmp in Windows Folder.
Waht do this file? I cant delete this tmp file. Its in use.
But what kind of Programm use this file?
Remo
It's a temporary file, I'm not an expert but I doubt you'd need it.
Mem
I think its not the problem that it don't work well in the front, but the problem is the mem. leak after a couple of hours my mem. schrinks with 10 mb after a soft reset it is ok again.

Have you check the Task Manager to see if there are any 'open' program? By default WM6 does not 'close' the application rather keeps it in the background. If you have a lot of application in the background, of course this will take up memory as well.
So far I do not experience any 'out of memory' problem. To me it doesn't matter if after a few hours of usage I have less memory (it might be WM6's way of keeping some portion of the application cached in the memory for faster recall??). Memory is there to be utilized. As long as WM6 knows how to free them up when I start a big application, then I am fine.
Memory being utilized is good memory, A lot of free memory but not being utilized is not good memory. At the end of the day it's the user experience that matters. If this is WM6's way of making the whole PDA more 'responsive', I'm happy to have this than to have a machine that is sluggish with a lots of free memory.
SPB Mobile Shell leaks memory
I loose memory just when my mobile is turned on.
I give SPB MObile Shell the blame...

Sorry for double post (also in Tips & Tricks) but:
With regard to SpB Mobile Shell, it may be worth leaving it to settle down a little.
I use SpB Diary, Phone Suite and Mobile Shell.
Due to the possible memory leak, I removed Mobile Shell for 3 days, but couldn't live without its functionality.
I reinstalled it on Monday evening, at which point, Memory was 22MB. By 8am it was down to 17.5MB, so I thought 'here we go again'; however, by 11am it was back to 18.5MB, and has stayed pretty much the same since, so I'm happy!
SpB Time still wont work- seems to create 2 alarms for the same time, so one activated with no sound; shutting that activates the 2nd with sound.
Chronos works fine (and much smaller footprint, if not so nice interface)
mobile shell = working
phone suite = working

Without the infamous memory-leak you mean ?
Cause i've found the leak to be not that annoying, apart from one thing i experienced yesterday: the Bluetooth of Trinity simply doesn't want to turn on if memory is below 20 Megs....

anyone get the gprs monitor today plugin to work?
I use SPB Shell, phone, time, GPRS monitor and phone, and I didn't notice any leak... All of them are inserted into SPB Shell, and everything work fine.
ROM Aus
Mobile Shell is known to kill battery and memory, but I know they released a newer version and I haven't heard any reviews on it and if they fixed those issues.
I use SPB Weather & Full Keyboard with no issues on WM6.
I also use spb mobile shell and I usually have 21 - 22 free memory, so I don't see any leak at all
Can someone please post their registry entry for the GPRS Monitor Today plugin? I have installed GPRS Monitor, and only the actual application is working. The Today plugin is not anywhere to be seen, not even in the today item settings. I have checked the registry and there is an entry there but it doesnt seem complete.
Thanks guys.
I use spb weather myself with no probs at all. Using AX3L's rom 2.0.7
To: developers who have dealt with Spb Mobile Shell.
I would like to have only one more profile in Mobile Shell: vibro and ring together (something similar to the "loud" profile in Spb Phone Suite.)
If I would add somehow this new profile to the existing three ones, I could uninstall Phone Suite that eats up a lot of memory and practically I use only the Profiles feature of it.
If someone had a suggestion, maybe a registry tweak, or some workabout, I would appreciate the help.
cheers

Daft question!
I know this is probably a daft question but have you set the ring type in;
Start>settings>phone ...to ring and vibrate?
I did 'hack' the profiles in the registry...
Instead of the three profiles I have one icon that starts 'scenarios', which I believe is software from ETEN...it came with my rom. It basically has four customisable profiles.
I will see if I can find the cab file for this and the reg settings if you like.
Andy.
[edit]
Here's a cab file that installs the ETEN phone suite...it should be a lot smaller than SPB phone suite! I've included the reg hack that enables the scenarios option in SPB shell. Enjoy!
Thanks a lot, Andy.
I also used Scenarios but -- if I remember well -- it took more than 1 MB, so after a while I uninstalled it.
I'll give your version a try, maybe this will be the right solution for me.
But the best one would be to have a fourth icon in Mobile Shell Profiles menu that would allow toggle between 'ring and vibrate' or just 'ring'.
cheers

maybe change ringtone script?
I have found on the wiki pages that there is a possibility to change rigtone/vibrate chacteristics in 'HCKU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script'.
But I don't know how to create a small app (or use an existing one) for changing from one script to another and back just by activating a shortcut.
Please, help me if somebody has an idea. (I am a simple user but I like fine-tuning my device-- if I can...)
Thanks,
ctibor
Well SPB PhoneSuite does this...even with an active icon in your mobile shell..

Yes, I know. Currently I use Phone Suite with Mobile Shell.
But my orginal point was to replace Phone Suite with a simpler and smaller app, while maintaining the possibility to have more than 3 profiles. If I were satisfied with 3 profiles, I would'nt need any other than Mobile Shell.
Phone Suite also makes the device slower (you know, Artemis is not the fastest HTC phone at all...)

If you want just profiles, than have a look at SBSH Phoneweaver
perhaps PocketZenPhone? it is a freeware application with profiles that are extremely cutomizable. possibly TOO customizable, as that was what made it too daunting to me, and made me switch over to SPB Phone Suite. It may be up your alley though, it's a VERY light application (only an 88kb cab)

I´ll wait for the Xperia one , thats generic for all .
it is very good, however the lifestyle wallpaper options are a bit limited, i copied one of the pictures and edited it to be black. I have to say it is a huge improvement on the previous version
Great program and totally workable outside of the panel interface. The today panel just replaces the need for a dedicated SPB panel, the only inconvenience being that it still runs in the background while other applications are active of course.
The only significant flaw and it is an annoying one, is that utilizing the facebook integration if you have a significant number of friends makes the phone almost unusable. I have close to 800 contact on FB and my phone literally takes 30-90 seconds to respond to input if I utilize any aspect of the facebook integration. If a name is not detected as associated automatically and you must select, it also makes you scroll through an entire graphical list. A task which can take 5 minutes instead of the 5 seconds it would if they let you type the contact name or search within your friends.
For myself the FB integration was an important features I am hoping they are able to better test and correct the existence of this behavior.
Dont work as a panel ?
Is it possible to keep the today screen of windows mobile ?
Sure, you can use the regular windows mobile today screen, and have SPB mobile shell as a program rather than as a panel. In fact, that's what I did with the previous version of mobile shell. I always found it to be a bit laggy as a panel, but it works great as a program.
I've just installed the trial version, and will likely buy it after trying it out for awhile. Looks great so far! I use TF3D, and it's one of the programs in my programs tab, so that I can access it quickly.
How about memory and speed
I've an old P3600. For me is very important to install programs that are speed and light. How about theese features between SPB Shell 2.15 (in use on my ppc) and 3.0?
Thanks
Hi all.
Maybe you already know, but there is already a 20 page + thread on Spb Mobile Shell 3.0:

Everytime i recieve a text, it shows on the top of the windows task bar as normal but not on the SPB Shell itself, the missed calls icon works fine on it though
I'm using this on the Xperia X1
Any help on this would be grately appreciated.

Not sure why it is not showing up in your device, Just tested with my Xperia & it is working fine. To isolate the issue please check by removing SPB mobile & reinstall again.
Regards

Hello,
There is something weird happening with my Touch HD
1. I enable in Today the Touch Flo3D
2. I also have installed SPB MS 3.5
3. I deleted from startup folder the MS3.5 since I want the phone to have as "default" Touch Flo3D.
Now, sometimes, don't ask why , I might need MS 3.5 so I need a solution to run/enable SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 WHILE Touch Flo is still running.
If I lauch SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 from File Explorer it works fine but if I add the shortcut to Start Menu or even to Touch Flo 3D Programs tab, nothing happens (although I could see the the phone tries to lauch MS3.5 it never appears).
I should mention that prior to SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 my approach (launch MS from Start Menu) used to work excellent.
I am experiencing the new behavior only after upgrading to SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 (I used the .cab version when upgrading - if this info helps).
I have the original ROM, nothing changed to Manila as well.
Any help, please?
Thanks
Hello friend... I am also running SPB MS 3.5, but everytime I reset my device, I have MS 3.5 loading..I simply exit the app and start using Manila TF3D.. I know that everytime you open SPB, the Manila stops until you exit it... so I am not sure you can be running both at the same time...

Hello ****24,
I believe you missunderstood. I solved the issue of SPB Ms 3.5 starting after every reset by deleting the shortcut from the Startup menu so, after each reset, Manila comes up. But this is not my issue!
My issue is that having Manila up and running I cannot start SPB MS 3.5! With the previous version, I used to add a shortcut to SPB MS in the Start Menu so everytime I needed Manila I just run it from the Start Menu (Click Start and then SPB MS). When I wanted to revert to Manila, I simply navigated away from SPB MS by clicking on "Show Today").
This "procedure" does not work anymore! Meaning I cannot manage to lauch SPB MS 3.5 when Manila is running.
Can you please share with me what are you doing in order to run SPB MS3.5 WHILE Manila is running?
Thanks!

You may want to try WAD.
Skip netcf apps, and spb or htc soft they will propose to you(soon).
These are just typical bad written bs.
hs++ is also good, it takes time to get effects, though.
