Hi ,
I know everyone is pretty obsessed with backgrounds 4 all tabs at the moment but is there any one running SPB mobile shell on their HD?
I'm running it along side the TF3D by means of a program shortcut in launcher and its running really well, I just need some one to create some fantastic themes like they did for the Tytn etc .... Is that possible?
Im sure the great theme creaters out there could work some magic??
Please post your creations here.....

There is a thread on this already here but still no themes created. This is what the thread is called - Spb Mobile Shell 2.1.3 is out!
I to used to use Mobile Shell on my tytnii and loved all the theme creations. I hope some get started here for the Touch HD.
I know,
I'm using the latest ver 2.1.4 and its working brilliantly, no battery drain and sitting alongside touchflow flawlessly, just thought if we had a new dedicated thread it may get noticed !!

Good idea, hope it works!

What's the confusion about? Do you not know what SPB Mobile Shell is or do you not no what a WVGA skin is?
The trouble is, there is none to very little WVGA skins available for MS 2.1.3+. At least on this board. There might be some available elsewhere, but I don't have a clue where... So if anybody know, it'd be kind to share with the rest of the community.

Hi,
I work with the Oops Black for the moment, but i feel that the last touch 4.02 still was the most stable.
1> Is there a new upcomming touch rom ?
2> I don't seem to find the iphone icons, not so nice for an overview...
I like the following todayscreens :
--------------------------------
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402124 - superb today screen!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402021 - icons too iphone like
And the "Throttle Launcher" seems also nice as a today screen.
Hope some new roms will arrive soon with one of the 3 above included
It's very quiet nowadays concerning new roms
If anyone has nicer today screens, please post for us
Or great SPB MobileShell 2.0 themes
Cheers,
Innovator
I think maybe the best is to install a light stable WM6.1 rom without anything, and then install what you like (SPB Mobile Shell 2.0) with great today & weather screens.
Then install the programs you need... New roms are not always needed...
runs perfectly on last version of Vanilla
Are these todayscreens applicable for the P3300???
I tried to search trough the both threads, but I'm not able to find exactely an answer on this question:
Do I have to install the SPB?? what is that??
Thanks in advance!
Yes, just instal SPB Mobile Shell 2.0
You can find a lot of themes everywhere.
Just place all the files in the program files/Spb mobile skin directory (overwrite everything) and reboot.
Very simple for our P3300 having some very nice skins
Sweet! Thanks for the tip... Going to try
Hmmm, tried it... and like it (a lot..)
After some searching because the phone didn't went directly to the SPB menu today screen after boot-up or after unlocking and creating some linkt to the pocketCM contacts.. I have a little question: Does the calender tab also shows upcoming events? or do I have to press the organizer/calender and then "this week?"
and it works on the HD.
I disabled TouchFLO and run now Mobile Shell.

Does it have a official 480x800 skin? Or is it still streched like the previous versions. Didn't look that good in my eyes ....

Main screen uses additional space, the others are stretched.
Will this work with the existing skins? Anyone?
Stretched sucks...

I have tried 2.1.3 with skins from here. It works, but changes the look of SPB Mobile shell back to the 'old' layout which is kind of different and the graphics really don't look so good on the big screen, maybe on a X1 you can't tell it so clearly because the screen is smaller (with the same resolution that is). It's also buggy, some icons on certain skins don't show, sometimes the weather doesn't show correctly, stuff like that.
Looked at a number of skins and decided, that the default skin was by far the best...you might give it a try though. Now running 2.1.4 with the default skin and find it way more useful than Touchflo 3d.

and where to get ?
didnt find it at spb
at sbp under pocketpc
I love this software
it has great features and makes the HD or SEX1 wonderful and gives him a bit of iphone flair
hope they extend the functions until we dont need the winmo interface anymore
not as nice as touchflo but far more functions
it is worth a try and if happy a buy
It`s working great... I don`t really like the today screen it would have been great if it looked better...
It would be nice to run touchflo3d and with Spb Menu on the Today screen instead of the Programs button... best of both worlds... because with SPB i don`t really use the today screen as much as the first Calendar tab in its menu... which looks great...
It would be nice as a today screen... or maybe you can use it as such i don`t know. :|

SPB Mobile Shell really sucks imho
they don't appreciate our skinning abilities, they don't release any technical documentation for customizing (api, calls an so on) and every release mess ALL layout settings so all our work in finding correct layout has to restart for any little release. It's simply frustrating, so i don't even release my theme (90% done for my xperia) 'cause I don't want encourage people to use spb product. They don't deserve us.
Even integration with THEIR products (spb phone suite, necessary for phone profiles) is simply RIDICOLOUS as you can't have a wifi switch on "home" screen, 1 year old request on spb forum and no response
PhoneWeaver is FAR better, and I can invoke menu (fully customizable with self-explainatory skins) with a hardware button using TouchFlo3d
Been using Mobile Shell on my HD for a few days now, and I've had to soft reset the device almost once a day during the test.
Applications keeps crashing and the device hangs.
I find the GUI far better than TouchFLO, but in its current state it is of no use for me.

MS 2.1.4
This new build doesn't crash at all for me. I'm using original rom with my Touch HD and it runs perfectly. I would like to see some skins for for this software that would compliment our beautiful WVGA screens though.
And.. Will you share it with us ..?

You can get it from SPB, it's been out for some time now.

I'm just waiting for some nice skins for the WVGA screen, I'm not much of an artist or graphics designer...wish I had it in me.

I definitely liked SPB Mobile Shell on my QVGA device. Tons of great skins have been developed. Just not too many available for WVGA yet though. Of course they're coming out with Mobile Shell 3.0 soon and PointUI 2.0 should be out shortly as well. I'll probably just wait to see how they do.

Hi ! I have my Touch HD since around 1 week now.
I'm very happy with it , but and i wonder if it would be possible to modify the manilla interface in order to have something silimar to the Iphone's interface.
I find great to have an instant access to most used programs and functions on the first page, and i believe it's possible to have this feature on our HD.
I've tried to load the "IFonz" but without any success (http://thedogcorner.blogspot.com/2008/10/ifonz-112.html)
Moreover, IFonz is not available for WVGA... so if there would be a kind developper that would make me this present for X'mas, it would be great !!!!
Please help the "deseperate housemen" i am !!!:

it doesn't exist yet as far as I know but the best way to do it would be with WAD2 (Wisbar Advanced Desktop 2). You should grab it and start toying with ideas there is a thread that discusses wisbar and HD here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462785
and just for you here is a link to others testing out wisbar iphone themes on youtube here http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=wisbar+iphone&search_type=&aq=f
Waouw ! WAD2 looks very promising !!!
Tks a lot ! (1 beer for u, bro )
Same as u : i don't understand too why this topic isn't hotter
I'll try to bring my modest contribution when i have some time...
Cheeeers !
Most of us who chose the hd had one specific thing in mind and that is not to be an apple sheep.
ps. all the programs that you want in any order you like is just one swipe away, if that is too much work for you I think you are better off with the real iphone
Ifonz run good on my Toshiba G900, 480x800 pixel, then I think it will run on HD too. I've to wait another 2 days to have my HD, when I'll have it, I'll test .
If you don't have framework 3.5 installed, try to install it first.
...
I guess I am not an Apple sheep, but Iphone is a really unique piece of HW. I just don´t like its SW limitations. On my previous device I was very happy with iFonz. It looks cool and is very fast and responsive and you can customize it as well. Much better than Mobile Shell and others..
But I am looking forward to having new pointui on my HD. I hope they finish their project soon.
Did you try to keep TF3D, but you change the order of tabs, and put the progs tab in first ?
iPhone Similar Interface
Hello
You may want to try out a commercial software package called Winterface, it's gives a similar interface as found on the iPhone.

Wait till Point UI v2 and then tell me if you want the iphones limited interface!
the ultimate device the HD + Point UI v2 = iphone killer!

You are completely right, I consider Point UI v2 the right compromise between iphone interface and TF3D. I hope it will be out soon becouse as you have sad, HD will be the real iphone killer
Decided to give the iphone interface a go with WAD2 and it works great. This is just the front page but all notifications work for texts, missed calls, VM, email etc. In addition the calendar works ont he front and the date and day changes right there on the front page. The weather temp also changes and im pretty sure I know how to make the sun change to the current weather conditions but the IPhone doesn't do that so i may not since i want it to be a perfect replica I see no reason why WAD2 cant recreate IPhone interface perfectly

I have SPB mobile shell.. lovin it right now, just like the different interface, good change of pace.. was wonderin if anyone has any themes for it that I shouldn't miss out on?
Also I haven't tried PointUI yet, mainly because I'm happy with the Shell3.0 right now, but I'm curious if it's better? My thread about programs you use with your Vogue someone mentioned Shell3.0 then said he moved on to PointUI.. leading me to believe its better? Or maybe he just wanted a change of scenery like myself
I used spb for some time. I just loaded pointui a few days ago. I think spb has a slight edge here. Not at a point of deciding yet.
mobile shell is a little better imo. pointui has a cool senseui theme that has come out recently, I haven't used it but you should try that out too.
yeah i just started messin with spb so ima probably stick with it for now and maybe try pointui after awhile, if anyone has any themes they think are a must have please hook me up im with the original spb theme right now which im not complaining since i just got it its brand new to me
I think I'm sticking with spb. It is more feature rich, especially with messaging.

Looks like useless, memory hungry eye candy to me.
I have version 3.5 (using this customization: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=604146) at the moment and can say I have never used the 'carousel'.
SPB have been ignoring all the great ideas for widgets on their forum, a call for SPB Diary and Phone Suite to be made compatible for WM6.5 to concentrate on creating this?!
Oh well, down they go in a lot of people's opinions.
*sarcastic tone* well done SPB!
I can't wait...

a video if it running on WM6, looks great, i just hope it isn't a resource hook or a battery drainer.

nah, it looks nothing new.
They stopped being creative along time ago.
It supports Stereoscopic output... I'd call that original.
With HTC Sense out there, SPB needed a home run with this release but all they hit is a bunt! Boring! Same old thing we have now. I don't have that "I must have it" feeling like I did before when I purchased SPB Mobile Shell for my phone. I do have that feeling for Sense however and unless SPB gets their uncreative heads out of their butts, this shell will die eventually (or live forever 'cause the user community is re-developing it for them with skins).
I like the look of sense but I dislike the way it access things and features on the phone, too many things built-in as default and makes my favourite 3rd party app hard/impossible to be integrated, and running Manila 2.5 on my Xperia gives me a lot of problem, it is slow and sluggish sometimes.
I now have SPB 3.5 with the look of sense(mobile theme), and all my frequently used app/features accessible in 3 pages. Works a lot better than Sense and Titanium.
I don't think SPB is dying, as people who like customization will always go for it, but TouchXperiance will probably pawn it when it is released, I dunno.
well it looks like they took a step up with the animations. lets not forget they also make there product to be integrated with some devices & it looks like the success that they created on windows mobile is driven to android & the rest.. So for the new user its gonna be a big thing like it was for us (windows mobile users) when they first released there shell but for me if i decide to run there shell its gotta be on a super light ROM since it looks like a memory hogger!
Well, it LOOKS pretty. Guess we'll have to wait to see how it performs.
any news about this new shell?
I am quite curious to test it on my Touch2 ...
What happened to version 4? The current version is 3.5.3. Why the jump to 5.0?
There is a demo of version 5 off Youtube, and I am not that impressed. The functionality is more important than the look. If it's only for the 3D feel, count me out! Besides, I don't think my device can handle it
