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 ..?

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.

Which Today software are u using?
i bought resco phone today, (battery life acceptable, interface is good)
resco today plugin, (battery life acceptable, interface not nice)
tried free vito winterface (sucks my battery life)
original touch flo 3d (by far the best battery life out of the 4 i tried)
by far i think touch flo3d is the best.. but takes up alot ram space.. (more ram space = more batter life?) <- correct me if i'm wrong.
currently sticking with resco phone today..

SPB dial tab and my fav resco phone today
a quick question for those using the new Windows Mobile 6.5 Today screen...
How do you make it usable?
I think that it looks nice and clean, but it's just so much more user-un-friendly than TF3D...the calendar in TF3D is much cleaner and easier to use. Also the weather app in TF3D seems a lot cleaner as well. And the start menu/program launcher without TF3D is hard to rearrange.
What do you use to get around that?
And has anybody tried using SPB Mobile Shell 3?
Thanks!

Hey there
I really like your layout. It is very hard to find some good today layouts but I like this...Could you please let me know which theme did you use for the pocket plus and what plugins etc?
Did you also do some customization? Or customization including coding?
Thanks a lot.

I use Spb Pocket Plus with skin "2x2 default" se att.
Three of my tabs are just shortcuts and other small plugins.
I also use two icon packages "iphoney" and "ultimate" to cusomize shortcuts.
On my todayscreen for controling Profiles and wireless, I use PhoneAlarm
with "Flipout" theme. You also see Spb Diary.
thank you very much
Anyone disabled TF3D and kept the original WM home screen interface? I personally disabled it and kept the original interface even though I don't like how the WM SMS look. I disabled it because I don't like the default TF3D colors and I tried changing it black, but it's a no go. I don't know why! I did change the background and the drop menu all black which looks pretty neat since anything black looks good. What I really want is the WM6.5 Zune interface so I can't wait for WM6.5 official release!!!
Let us know what you have.
TF3D does not appeal to me!
TF3D is pretty, so people "oooo" and "aaah" over the phone and buy it.
However, I still think that TF3D is a bunch of useless kitsch that gets in the way of actually using the phone effectively. After a few hours of it interfering with what I want to do, I turned it off. (At least this time it took a few hours and not a few minutes.)
This is especially true of the messaging (it's just in the way), and the photo album. (who wants to see tiny, slanted, distorted versions of the pictures?) It's been a while, so I cannot remember the other specific things that annoyed me.
TF3D was the first thing I disabled on the device... I don't like that I cannot choose my own programs and way of working.
I use Wisbar Advance and Wisbar Desktop
on my personal Touch HD I much prefered the TouchFLo interface to the standard windows one - saying that, that was running a Dutty ROM
However on my work TP2 - I have it disabled as it gets in the way of my business apps - i.e. MS Communicator etc.
TF3D has bad things an good things.
The biggest failure and that's why TF3D is just crap is because it's not intuitive and easy to use. Way to many steps to get things done, pretty useless taskbar (exepts for the killing programs part). You can do to much information on one screen at the same time and too little. It's nice that they include things like a calendar, but it's pretty useless and in many ways TF3D makes the use of third party software actually harder.
The very good things about touchflo 3d is the push pages, the scheduels, and the best thing is the fueture to see all of your conversation with one contact. I really love it. Next to that it's snappy and pretty.
Well I treid SPB mobile shell 3, but it just doesn't do it. Also many features, but the fact is: when I use my phone it's to get something done pretty quickly. I just want to be able that I have a good view of all the info I need (messages, appointments) in the least ammount of time and to be able to do something in little time. The regular wm is just very easy. Start - settings/programs - choose- done.
Seeing my messages when there is a new one I get a popup and pres view and I there. I do not have to click the task baar. Get a new screen there push on the button, then being transported to the touchflo tab and then have to choose the message.
THats 2 clicks vs 4/5 clicks.
I kept the default TF3d for now, as soon as the official WM 6.5 ROM will be available, I'll switch to the Titanium UI.

An interesting 'Widget' based replacement for TF3D I came on when I was looking around on XDA.
"FEWidgets Ultimate" by nicodega.
It replaces TF3D completely as a 'Today' plugin.
Basically one just has to install the CAB.
(Note: it will not show up under All Programs, but as a Today plugin only)
> Go into Settings> Today>
> Remove check next TF3D
> Enable Check next to FEWidgets Ultimate
Two versions- Large widgets and Small Widgets for anyone who needs a whole bunch of widgets.
I did try it out on my TMO TP2 and both versions basically work when I tested each separately.
Though I haven't tried fine-tuning each widget for my TP2 yet.
Enjoy.
i kept my TP1 and gave the TP2 to Dad whose TmoWing crapped out. Had to disable TF3D for him today. The last straw was contacts/call history will not allow you to dial out, it's link to the phone dialer was broken or something. I don't know if this is a result of a tweak I did or if the Tmo's TF3D version has a bug. After disabling TF3D, you can press the contacts again to call out. For future reference, anyone know the cause/solution?
Like above guy said, now I need a replacement for tf3d. The last version of BatteryStatus that I used was 1.04build266 from this time last year, which has since been replaced by HomeScreenPlusPlus or something like that. Anyone know of a stable version for the TP2? Stable enough for Dad?
Today Plugins
I kept the default TF3D, but with HDWall, because I love the eye-candy of the interface and I find it very intuitive to use. I have also tried other today plugins, such as PointUI Home 2, FEWidgetsUltimate and iPhonetoday, but none of them felt as smooth and easy to use as TF3D for me. Out of the other interfaces I tried I find FEWidgetsUltimate to be the best.
LINK - iPhoneToday
LINK - FEWidgetsUltimate
LINK - HDWall
LINK - PointUI
EDIT: On my previous device I tried SPB Mobile Shell - LINK
I also got rid of TF3D. IMHO that is eye candy for people who don't know how to use a computer - and that is still a large number of people out there using phones. W/o TF3D I get things quicker done and have more flexibility to set up the phone the way I use it best.

Thanks for the link! HDWall and Mobileshell looks nice.
It is VERY usefull for me! I can't use without! I'm bored by WinMo interface.
I too found TF obtrusive and unintuitive so switched it off. I used to use SPB Mobile Shell on the Kaiser and liked it, but I'm a bit fed up of the way it doesn't integrate with Informant and Flexmail, so I'm back to the WM interface and don't miss all the bloat.
Hi xda-developers,
I have been reading about this new Windows Mobile 6.5 and TouchFlo 3D 2.5 and think they both look pretty good! I was wondering if there is any way to switch between the two? I mean like dual booting a computer with Windows or Mac, is there any way to do this with Windows Mobile and TouchFlo 3D? Windows mobile 6.5 looks pretty good and once it's released I'd like to have a go with it though I'd also like to use TouchFlo 3D 2.5. Any idea's would be great! I've had a search and I can't find anything although I'm not really sure what I should be searching!
Thanks for any help!
yes there is....
Settings>Today & disable TouchFLO 3D on the today screen. That's all it is... a plugin on the today screen that integrates in to the phone.
Brilliant! Thanks very much! That's excellent!
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!
