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.

"Type"=dword:5 <--- set this dword to 4 and you can move it up and down
Very very very
Thanks !!
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..
Hi guys,
I have on my screen SPB Shell and HTC Home. In today elements is impossible move up or down both application for example, put sbp shell down and HTC home up. The question is: is possible change the position from registry keys or not?
thanks a lot
I have the same issue, even if up side down!

With HTC Home customizer you can do this. search for the app.
Maybe this will help: HTC Home Today Customizer

Ok guys, thanks to all, we had solved 50% of the trouble, infact by home customizer now I can move up and down htc home. The next step is find the key to enable also spb shell to go up and down
OK I found the right registry key to enable spb shell to go up and down.
HKLM - SOFTWARE - Microsoft - Today - Items - "Spb Mobile Shell" - Type = 4 original is 5
may be 5 = lock and 4 = unlock
I would like to display two analogue clocks each showing a different time zone in my Spb Mobile Shell Leisure Today screen on my Touch HD. I'm also running Spb Time and expected Spb's integration to allow me to do this.
A while back I got Spb Time so that I could display dual time zones on my HTC Trinity Today page - this was exactly what I wanted.
So now I've upgraded to an HTC Touch HD and Spb Mobile Shell 3 (and Spb Time). So I now want to display dual time zones (i.e. two clocks) on my Spb Mobile Shell Leisure Home Page.
Can I do this via Spb Time, is there an MS3 configuration setting I've missed, is there some other MS3 widget I need to download from somewhere, or do I need to go back to basics and find another app?
I'd appreciate anyone's advice on this, as I haven't been able to find any references in xda-developers or Spb's forum. Thanks in advance.
Same issue..also have a Touch HD - weather integrates ok even if you have to 'click' through to get the detail. I liked the plug-in on the windows today screen for spb time - I'd like to remove the day/date display below the calendar appointments and replace with a time plug-in but I haven't found anything to configure that. I guess the alternative would be to have a lifestyle screen with a widget to display this and the weather.
Hi
Could someone please help me with this issue?
When installing SPB Mobile Shell 3 it automatically come up as default today screen. What I would like is to add it to one of the SW buttons and keep TF3D as my default screen and be able to toggle between these two home screens. No problem adding it to a SW button, but how can I tweak so that my TP2 unit automatically launches TF3D and not SPB Mobile Shell?
I think I have seen it some where but have not been able to find the thread yet.
Thanks!

Here's the thread where everything you need to know about SPB Mobile Shell is located. What your looking for is in this thread because I did what your wanting to do. But it's been too long ago to remember exactly. I'm no longer using SPB Shell.
What I think you have to do is, download a second "today" widget and assign tf3d to it and then you can switch between the two.

Thanks a lot! I will look into this thread.
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.
where can i activate 3d carousel

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.
