I don't understand one think. I use SPB MS 3.5.3 with mod (Mtstmp - Keithdupont MS Espresso -> best mod in my opinion) and when I have X2 ROM for my Xperia there was an option "Use 3D accelerator" in SPB Settings and SPB Carousel was working very smooth but when I've switched to another ROM (Xperia UnOff) "Use 3D accelerator" dissapear from settings Maybe somebody know what is wrong? Drivers, some change in registry?
Sorry for my english
i have the same problem
It's a problem with SE software
I'm rom-chief, and have problems with 3d-enabled SBP MS. After running carousel, xperia panel manager fails to start, and hang up the device.
I think, that SPB disable 3d for compatibility reason.
If you want to enable 3D - replace file "ModelName.txt" in Windows folder, that contains "X1i", with the file, that contains some other text "Kovs100", for example, and reboot device.

But how is it done because you can't overwrite ModelName.txt the phone says?
Overwriting ROM files
Try to use Total Comander or Resco File Explorer.
Or cook you own ROM
I will try total commander.
But I doubt I will cook my own ROM.
EDIT: It worked fine using total commander and the 3D carousel is very smooth.
I have another question now, is there a way to disable/uninstall xperia panels and assign X-panel button to the carousel view?
EDIT2: Nevermind, it seems like SPB ms in 3D acc mode doesn't crash the phone using the panelmanager. I've tried going from the 3D acc carousel to panel manager and switched back and forth the differnt panels and spb 3D acc carousel, the phone doesn't hang. I'm using Christians latest rom (love your work man!) and it's using the X2 panel manager.

Ok, here's what I did.
1. Install latest Total Commander, I installed the beta version for Winmo 6.5.
link for download: http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm
2. Use Total Commander to look up "ModelName.txt" in the "Windows" folder in your phone.
3. Open ModelName.txt and change X1i/X1a to whatever you like. Save and close.
4. SPB ms will now recognize your phone as "whatever" and the alternative to anable 3D accelaration pops up in the SPB system tab.
I think if you change the model name before you install SPB ms the 3D option will be automatically on. And I can guarantee you that this works perfectly with Cristians latest Clean rom(the one with no SPB ms panel), in case you having problems with 3D acc turned on.
EDIT: Don't forget to soft reset after changing the model name.

Is available working X2 panel manager ( .cab file) to install on R3AA010? Because panel manager from X1 seems doesn't work properly (like SaddamRU said) when 3D acc is ON, then I click 'X' button and phone hangs up, only soft reset is possible :/ when 3D acc is OFF then everything with 'X' button works fine
EDIT// I noticed that 'X' button hangs up device when we press it on 'Today screen' of SPB MS, so I delete panelmanager and map 'X' button to launch start menu or something
Yeah, the X2 panel manager is available to download, look in the rom section. Although I have no idea how to install it. I suppose you have to get rid of your current panel manager and I reckon it to be very well integrated since it's a cooked in thing, so it could be hard?
Well go to the rom section and ask a chef there they should know.
radzix27; Ok, that was my initial thought to deactivate the X-button till I realized I didn't have to.
I've tried these combinations which works for me:
SPB today screen -> X-button -> random panel -> X-button -> back to SPB ms.
within the 3D carousel -> x-button -> random panel -> X-button -> back to SPB ms.
within the 3D carousel -> back to SPB today screen -> x-button -> random panel -> X-button -> back to SPB ms.

I found X2 PM in this thread and it's easy to install -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=587176 but also hang up my Xperia
I didn't use panels so I decided to remap 'X' button. Now I launch start menu with it
X2 Panel Manager fails too
Yeah, I tried X2 Panel Manager too. It's hangs up after 3D in SPB.
It's seems, that this problem has no solution for now.
Ouch! X2 video driver does'nt works too.

You're right :/ Games like Xtrakt, COD 2 doesn't work :/ So it isn't good idea to turn on 3D acceleration in SPB on our Xperia's :/
OK, so with your conclusions there is a sence of like I'm a lier. But I can ensure that SPB ms with 3D acc on combined with xperia panels wont crash the phone if you are using Christians latest clean rom.
...or my fingers are magical and well

Maybe everything works fine on WM6.5? Check Xtrakt or COD2 for be sure that 3D drivers works good
OK, I've tried Xtract and you are right the game wont start but on the other hand neither the phone or the 3D drivers have crashed. I can switch between the gold fish panel and media panel which both are 3D accelerated.
So far there is no fun 3D games for Xperia, Zenonia works that's all that matters for now. I rarely play any games on my phone so I'm fine with it.
May be SPB Bug?
It's seems to be an SPB bug.
And working panels a kind of bug too
I think, that Mobile Shell with 3D feature enabled using video driver in 3D all time.
And, with ATI X2 drivers I have 11 fps in SPB carousel, but with original drivers 60-120 fps.
By the way, does'nt mater 6.1 or 6.5 SYS you have. SPB don't work on my ROM with 21854 SYS (HTC Diamond 2).
I tried to find the file ModelName.txt in windows but there is no such file.
I have Xperia X2 fit the last stock ROM and SPB Shell 3.5.3
The option for 3D acc is not available.
What to do to have 3D?
LOL
Try to buy Xperia X1.
Or try to create file by yourself.
I do the following to avoid freezing my phone when I use SPB Mobile Shell with hardware acceleration:
I placed a shortcut to SPB Mobile Shell on my today screen and I deleted the autostart entry of SPB MS. So when I want to use SPB MS I start it by using this shortcut. If I want to use any of the panels I revert to the today screen and kill the SPB MS process using the task manager of SK Tools. Afterwards I am able to switch panels without crashing my phone.
This procedure may sound a bit complex but if you keep in mind that SPB MS uses approximately 30 MB of ram even when running in the background it makes not really sense to have it running while I use another panel. For me this is the ideal solution and I have never experienced a crash when I switch to another panel after using SPB Mobile Shell with hardware acceleration.

How do i change the position of htc home app in the today list. I run spb shell and want that at the top. I am running BB4.1 Lite and it wont budge, same with full and meschle's roms.
I could do it in BB4.0
Look for the HTC home customiser tool, think it's in the cab's thread on this board.
That has an option to allow you to unlock its position, never used the option but guess that's so you can move it around on the today screen.

Thanks for that works a treat.
Good one gullum,
any idea why I cannot customize settings for HTC home plugin? I don't have this option anywhere (on today's settings or programs). I installed emunut's 'HTC Home Customizer' I found here but this customizes 'other' things not found on 'original' customizer. I want to customize profiles, speed dial and other stuff that I can probably find on this 'original' tool.
I tried also some other HTC Home plugins, but also no options for customizing.
I have Blueangel with helmi's WM6 (working great) and Helmi_HtcHome6_WM5_comp_sdkcert.cab installed.
Best regards,
Robert
I use that too, the most simple way to solve this is when u install SPB Shell, it will set itself below the HTC home, just go to settings>today>items, then unmark the spb mobile shell klik ok then do the same thing but then u mark it again and then it will be on top of the htc home..
TouchFlo Detacher is yet another way to simultaneously have TouchFlo 3D and the regular Today screen. Previous excellent solutions include SecondToday and ManilaControl.
Description
So what makes it different? Well, this app is actually very similar to MastSogo's ManilaControl. The main difference is that the author plans to actively develop it for a while, whereas ManilaControl has been a bit frozen in development for a few months. It is also open source, licensed under the Ms-RL. The program is on CodePlex, so download speeds should be much better than the average rapidshare link. Finally, it is in English and not Spanish. Other than that, it's just another solution for the same problem!
See it in action on the YouTubes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk0xWm8PMGQ
Download the CAB and source code here: http://www.codeplex.com/TFDetacher
Installation
As explained on CodePlex...
1. Install the CAB
2. Run the configuration app
3. Enable all the standard Today Items you want to use
4. Do not re-enable TouchFlo 3D in the Today items (if you do, it will undo all your other Today plugins)
Requirements
Windows Mobile 6.1
.Net Compact Framework 2.0
A device that runs TouchFlo3D / Manila
Current features
- Free up your Today screen by hosting Manila outside of the Today screen! TouchFlo Detacher can launch/show/hide/close Manila independent of any other Today screen settings. Now you can have your TouchFlo cake and eat it too! The most obvious use is to assign a soft key to toggle between seeing TouchFlo and seeing the regular Today screen.
- Service runs as a background application (in your StartUp folder) for maximum speed when toggling Manila modes.
- NO ANNOYING SPLASH SCREEN when application launches.
- Service is 100% idle when not receiving messages or controlling TouchFlo, so no CPU is wasted! (Just a tiny bit of RAM)
- Configuration application allows modifying manila.exe location, manila window class, and more, so that this utility can (presumably) be used with other manila versions (such as TouchFlo 2D). This is untested. Out of the box, it supports TouchFlo 3D in its default configuration as seen on the Diamond/Pro/HD.
- Configuration application can clean out the ManilaActivateToday.exe from the notification queue. (That app can interefere with TouchFlo Detacher's operation.)
- Shortcuts to start/show Manila, hide Manila, and close Manila. These can be assigned to hardware buttons (if your device has them) or virtual hardware buttons through the use of 3rd party applications such as AE Button Plus.
- Configuration application can customize the softkeys in both Today and TouchFlo's Home tab. You can use it to not only assign TouchFlo Detacher operations (show/hide/close), but any other application on your device.
I want only to say many thanks for that cab it works very good on my Touch HD ... Great App cardefbel
THE best piece of software I've downloaded. Used it on both Touch Diamond and Touch HD and love it!
Perfect - thanks
Thanks for this awesome app....
Would I be correct in thinking that with your app I can go all out on WAD2 or something and still be able to switch back and forth between WAD2 and Touchflo without all the hassle?
Thanks. Downloaded, installed, and be able to switch between TF3D and my old style today with Spb Diary.

Is it also possible to have TF3D together with SPB today screen combined whit SPB mobile shell?
Hi Guys,
i add a screenshoot just to share with you the result of this great app.
i have one question, maybe someone of you have the same problem.
i am running the "non TF3D" screen with Resco today plugin and launcher.....if i try to put a background (via setting Today, use picture as background...) no matter which kind of picture i choose, they are opaque.
cant figure out a solution.
thanks and Ciao!

i can tell that this is the best suggestion i have never got in this forum.
you have got the point at the first shot!!!!!! and i have my second today with a brilliant background.
of course thanks to chaosdefinesorder that playing with the device have found out the problem.
for those are asking about my second today:
Resco today plugin
Resco explorer 2008
that's it.
ciao!
Looks great!
I have tried WAD2 and Spb Mobile Shell and I like many of the things that those things bring that TF3D doesn't. I like them both, but I have not been able to break away from the TF3D which is one of the major factors I purchased the phone. Now I can have my cake and eat it too. We'll give it a shot! Thanks.
Update - I loaded it and it seems to work great. I loaded back my Spb Mobile Shell and seems to be working nicely between. It did take a few tweaks, but it is running fine. One thing however is that when I am back in TF3D my hard home key doesn't work to bring me back to the TF3D home. Any ideas?
Thanks for the program cardefbel but I am having a problem with it....notice that if I'm using the SPB screen it won't go back to TF3D after 15mins.....if I want my TF3D i need to reboot it.....but if I on the TF3D I can swap to SPB anytime.....
absolutely excellent, having my appointments on the screen with a 1 button press to TF3D is awesome

Are you using SPB mobile shell or SPB pocket plus. I tried to reproduce it with SPB mobile shell, but the switching to TF3D worked for me after 15 mins.
BTW, it's not a program I wrote, found it on the net and realy liked it.
I have a problem with WEATHER page
I have started the program
il works perfectly BUT
if i go in the weather page, under TF3D, he changes automatically to today.
Any idea ????

30 MARCH 2009: PANELS TESTING ON R2A UK and NAM ROMs
New R3A Panel Manager -> Tested OK, but must install ActiveX Deployment first !!! This is the english version but will install OK into any other language (not guaranteed to work)
My opinions: faster transitions, better animations, smooth, and best of all: YOUR LAST ACTIVE PANEL IS AUTO LOADED AFTER A SOFT RESET: DEFINITIVELY WORTH UPGRADING
BUGS: Since this new panel manager comes from an english ROM, I have tested it ON ENGLISH ROM ONLY. I have seen occasional freezes and the taskmanager "x" button disappears from some panels - INSTALL IT AT YOUR OWN RISK
On the road PANEL -> Tested OK, ActiveX Deployment and new Panel Manager are not required
My opinions: GREAT panel with big finger-friendly buttons for GPS, phone, mp3, etc when "on the road"; A MUST !!
CNN PANEL -> Tested OK, requires ActiveX Deployment and new Panel Manager
My opinions: Gives me weather and handy news, cool interface and fast animations; Bye bye TF3D !! (my last missing from TF3D was the weather tab)
Growing PANEL -> Tested OK, requires ActiveX Deployment, new Panel Manager not required
My opinions: Sort of "3D fishes" but beautiful, colourful and meaningful: every bug/plant means something from battery level to wifi signal strength, missing calls or new emails etc. Great chick-magnet and relaxing screensaver, I even kept it as my default panel by the time being; YOU'VE GOTTA CHECK IT OUT !! Cons: battery sucker (mostly because you'll love it so much you'll keep the screen turned on more time )
New Media Xperience PANEL -> Tested OK, requires ActiveX Deployment and new Panel Manager
My opinions: Radio ncluded, greatly enhanced, faster transitions, pics displayed lightspeed, loads my 800 mp3 in a breeze and even adding album art (thumb cached ??) GREAT IMPROVEMENT OVER R2A !!
EDIT 02 APR 09:
ALL R3A PANELS ARE NOW WORKING OK OVER R2A ROM:
STABLE, ZERO FREEZES, VERY SMOOTH AND FASTER THAN PREVIOUS VERSION
No resets after 24 hours of intensive use, switching between panels very often
CONS: "x" taskmanager button is missing in some panels
(don't know if this is a real "bug" or normal behaviour because the "x" button was also missing in the original 3D Fish panel and other panels)
Enjoy
can the new panels including the panel mgr be installed in stock rom such as R2A?
I have added the most recent testing information to post 2
So far I have installed the new panel manager, CNN panel, on the road panel, growing panel and the new Media Xperience panel on my stock ROM Xperia and all is OK
Zero problems after 1 day of usage
I compiled the CAB with hardcoded paths intending to completely override the previous version (it will be auto-uninstalled) to avoid conflicts, and seems to be working fine
I'll upload the new MXP panel too, but only when I finish testing its stability over R2A

Full R3A ?? I guess not, unless somebody translates it all, file by file
But in the mean time I am still working on some more good chunks and bites from R3A
Regarding panels,
- Added more panels, including the official Sony Ericsson "on the road" panel, improved from the previously leaked one
- Added a small opinion of each one into the second post, and it's test status over R2A ROM
Now the library has more that two dozen panels
If you find more panels around, please help me to keep it growing and updated

I'd suggest "device"
Your Xperia has enough internal memory to handle whatever you throw at it
- Everything will definitively work faster from the internal memory
- Installing to internal memory avoids any possible bug/problem
- In the end, these are relatively "small" apps and won't consume too much memory (a couple MB is nothing compared to TF3D's > 40 MB space-hungry requirements)
Ok installed Active X Deployment, then the other 2 applications(new panel manager,growing panel) got them installed....but the panel does not show in panel manager....shrugs....
Found out by default it does not show...you have to go to settings....click on one of the blank spaces with the suitcase looking icon...and select the growing panel....
Xperia Tweak Panel option doesnt work with the new panel manager.
WC
Not having a lot of luck here, the panel manager and ActiveX deployment files install fine.
Media Experience immediately quits stating installation was unsuccessful
Growing panel installs but does not show up on the panel list (No i didn't forget to go to the actual panel selection pane )
On The Road works, and the other panels aren't that interesting to me, so haven't tried those.
I must say that i try all the panels in R2A LAM and only work the on the road
The new media xperiance panel the one that shouldt run pictures faster does not install it says error installing...And the growing panels install but does not appear anywhere...
I need some help
I have noticed that itje has put some day this panel in his rom thread i guess TOUCH_IT 4.5 or so
MXP_MR2_R27_35200_signed an this one install but when i runned it it start looking for the pictures and mp3 and videos and it blink and dont respond...i guess it stuck....
Sorry for bad English...
Hope somebody couldt help me..

TO ALL OF YOU HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE NEW PANELS:
1- I have tested it myself on two different phones and works a treat,
zero problems !!
2- You must have some third party app blocking the new panel manager
3- The correct order would be: Install ActiveX deployment first, soft reset, install the new panels manager, soft reset, install panels one by one and test each one
Let's work this out:
- What's your ROM and language ??
- Any third party app installed ??
- Xperia Panel Tweak installed ??
- sdkcerts helps ??

Just had to do a hard reset due to some Android testing, though i did not perform soft reset at each install.
- ROM is R2AA008 DK
- No third party apps during installation, i've added spb weather, traveler and backup since, as well as an updated google search and google maps.
- No xperia panel tweak installed
- Gonna check out sdkcerts, but is there a direct link for it? Don't want to download a 600MB SDK to get it.
sdkcerts FTP download can be found in first post from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=497471
or in any of my skin/apps posts (it is required because I sign all of the tweaked system files with a private developer certificate):

I'm actually having trouble with the new panels manager removing the Task Manager menu in the upper right-hand corner..
I'm also missing the vibe whenever I switch panels (not as big an issue as the missing Task Manager button though).

3D fishes panel omitted the task manager "x" too
That's normal behaviour
Well sdkcerts didn't help unfortunately.
So it's either because of installing it incorrectly or because of the Danish rom, so i guess i'll wait, don't want to do another hard reset already
I am using NFSFAN's 6.5 final release and love it. I would like to change the touch flo around a bit. Any tools or reg hacks that will allow me to reorder the tabs, maybe change the weather app to spb weather?
I like this build and interface better than the spb 3.5 which I had recently purchased, don't even use it now.

Have you tried the Manilla 2D Customizer located in the system settings? You will not be able to incorporate spb 3.5 though.
You can re-arrange the tab order by using M2D Customizer. Go to start>settings>Manila2D Customizer...click the bottom tabs "tabs" and highlight the widget you want to move and click "move up" or "move down". If you want to remove a tab untick it from the same menu. Click apply and Manilla will re-launch.

Italian Translations by "rubenalf"
This is the new WM6.5 23405 - Thanks to rubenalf for doing the hard work of putting the SYS/XIP together. I did some mods to it from there, and then tweaked the Kitchen for my ROMs. Notice the new Task Manager accessible from the Start Button (Tap & Hold). It also "CLOSES" programs when the X is tapped. Or, you can choose to Tap & Hold the X to minimize. Thanks to amarullz! Find more information over here.
Each Different Version will be listed on Page 2 (Might Spill onto Page 3) with the Download Link for each. In each Download Link I will post the Self Extracting Kitchen, an RUU_Signed.nbh, and an AutoFlash file.
What is AutoFlash you ask? I've taken the RUU file, added the Flashing Program, and Packaged it all up into an AutoExecuting AutoFlashing Program, and, it's a smaller download than the RUU alone. Pretty cool huh? Yes, others have already done this, but I'm going to make it a standard practice from now on.
"AutoFlash (tm), Making Flashing Socially Acceptable, One Package at a Time!"
My recommendation for Flashing is:
Make sure you have Hard SPL on your Phone. I recommend Olipro 1.20 - Click Here for More Info
Be sure your battery is at least 50% full.
Start your phone in Tri Color Screen mode. Steps below
--Unplug your phone from USB
--Hold down the Power & Camera Buttons
--While still holding them down, press the Reset Button using the Stylus
--Release the Reset Button, but continue to hold the Power/Camera buttons until you see the Tri Color Screen
--Plug in the USB cable (if asked about installing a driver, do this), You should see USB in the White Box)
Now you can Flash.
Run the AutoFlash file for the ROM you've selected, or Flash using the Standard Flashing Program included in the Kitchen.
Enjoy!
Suggestions:
For those who wish NOT to have a Startup Sound (it can be annoying) use my attached "Kill Startup Sound.cab" I'm sure this is going to be downloaded a LOT. If requested enough, I'll remove the sound completely.
Edit: From now on, the Startup Sound will be left out. You can enable it using the "Enable Startup Sound.cab" It's driving me crazy with as many flashes and restarts I need to do.
I recommend using the SkyFire Browser as your default.
Thank you to EVERYONE on XDA. Chefs, Programmers, Cookers, Users, Noobs, everyone! You've ALL helped me to be able to do these. I'm sure I'll learn a LOT more as the days go by.

I also hope to get that working. It's hard to do with these latest ROMs due to how much space they take up. I'll keep trying though. I did make one with an earlier ROM that worked pretty well.

Did you follow the directions on the post? "While on Home Screen, Tap Taskbar, When Icons Show, Tap and HOLD Top Right Corner Until Icons Disappear, Release."
If so, what problem is there? I'll try to fix it.
Yes, this new TaskManager "Showcase" is pretty cool. I'm anxious to give it more of a workout and see how it holds up.

I haven't done anything to protect it, so I'm assuming you can use all the parts. I hope it works for you!
PS: I believe the Keyboard already has the Language installed, just need to deal with the other packages.

Confirmed, ActiveSync over Bluetooth working!
I will do an SPBMS 3.5 ROM. You want it cooked in, or would you prefer to install it yourself?
It seems rubenalf and I are swapping Kitchens back and forth. He's now going to translate my version of his ROM back to Italian. Sharing information will definately help us all. Good Luck rubenalf.
my best compliments!
hello!!!
is it possible to make smaller some windows/text box in this rom?
it seems that most of 23*** ROM are made for VGA screen, but when adaptating them to QVGA, not all text box was resized....
it's my opinion...

Which ones specifically are you referring to? I'd be happy to try to figure it out.
hello.
i'm talking about:
-adress bar and zoom bar of internet explorer.
-windows of volume control.
-top bar of almost program (example: file explorer)
-menus from "file explorer", "Picture & Videos" _ i think all popup menus.
-space between files in file explorer.
note: when i'm using Resco Explorer, lines from each file are display very close, same for the menu (good).
tank's.

i think it's better if we can install by ourselves, because of later SBP releases
