Hi Guys
Well I've stuck SPB MS 3 on my device and I have to say that it's quite nice to configure and I especially like the wide background with scrolling....
One thing I'd like to know is if any other Widgets will come out from modders/devs or whether we have to be happy with our lot in terms of stock Widgets.
Aldso, to address the battery drain issue....I have a strong feeling that this is related to anothe3r piece of software....as I have had SPB MS3 on my Touch HD (Stock ROM) for the last couple of hours, received a couple of calls and some MMS messages (with constant data connection live) and I am only on 95%.
Comments on either points welcome?

Please, you have posted this almost word for word in every damn thread on the site that mentions SPBMS3, often more than once.
You are entitled to your opinion and what you say may even be entirely valid, but for the love of pete, STOP! We get it, thanks.
And not only in xda !!!
But he's got a point though..!!
OK - he has a point but he's destroying the merit of that point by being a bit of a fool....anyway, do we know if it's going to be easy to create widgets ourselves?
That was really the reason for my post
is mobile shell 3 out already then????
SPB Mobile Shell 3
Hi Guy's
I have taken a look over at Infosyncworld and watched this video http://www.infosyncworld.com/news/n/9030.html it reminds me a little of the SPB mobile shell 3's carousel.
Comments from page above: "Pros: Brilliant interface, among the best we've seen for a mobile phone. Smooth animation, great colors, sparkling effects".
Cons: "Nobody is building this into a phone . . . yet."
No correlation but striking nonetheless.
I've just posted my thoughts over on the SPB forum,
it is good...but there are also a few things that aren't
1) I do like the ability to change widgets, size of widgets etc, but I'm missing the battery indicator on the professional now screen
2) The call log has already been mentioned, but it's certainly not the best so I wont go there again
3) The now screen calendar, I can only get 1 week to display on either of the now screens. That means that today (sunday), I can't see anything for next week. Also, as pointed out for MS2, the bold to indicate a day with appointment still isn't clear enough..another colour would have been better
4) The phone doesn't automatically return to the Now screen when turned off. it returns to the last screen you were looking at
5) the option to change to two softkeys on the today screen (Touch HD) has gone. On MS2 these defaulted to SBP menu and Calendar I think. I changed mine to SPB menu and Now. The SBP menu still works, but the now gives an error that the "nowscreen file cannot be opened"...and no way to change this
6) I still use my today screen because of the PhoneAlarm plug in. MS3 takes two clicks to get to the today screen, MS2 required only one.
7) the facebook integration only works for contacts in your favourites list
8) the ability to email a contact has been added though, which had been requested so that's a good thing
so..to sum up....I'm undecided on whether to upgrade when the full version is released, or go back to MS2

This is not a problem for me when I'm running MS3. The notifications appear as they should. I've read some people are having issues with the CAB install (although I haven't had any issues with it), have you tried the .exe install?

Read through the thread to find some useful tips with customizing as well!
i have installed both the exe and the cab version. same problem. on startup notifications works, but after i been in startmenu or a other menu the notifications fail to come in notifications of ms3
life style background
i have found that if you use a ratio of 1.6 to 1 shows the background image the best. the size does not seem to matter as long as it has this ratio.
edit: sorry I posted this in the wront thread, I ment to post it in the diamond themes, applications and software as this ratio is for vga. again sorry for the mistake.
decided after some testing to go back to TF3D - I dislike the use of WM to preview the texts and emails - TF3D has a better mechanism for me in that respect...nice UI though.

After trying the SPB 3.0 shell i decided to buy it. I love the way it is customized and the diferent views it provides, but yes i concurr the sms and mail preview of the TouchFlo 3D is way better.
Power off and softreset button from pocketplus?(icon)
does anybody know how to get the shortcuts power-off and the green reset icon function from pocketplus4 into Mobile shell3?
i am so used to switch off by tapping that icon on my homescreen,
but i cant find it in ms3.
OR do you have a better solution for tapping off my HD?
thanx bros.

Today Customize the appearance and the information to be displayed on the Home screen.
1. Is there a way for the lock screen dialer to take over after dialing a number? I mean, I use the Resco Contact mgr dialer. After dialing a number through that, I get directed to the ****ty default WM6.5.3 dialer. I'm looking for a way to get directed to the lock screen call thing (which is much faster and responsive)
2. Is there a way for the Wm lock screen call thing to come up automatically whenever theres an incoming call? I found this: "http://www.xtkit.com/archives/32", but this doesn't work as efficiently, though it'll do if there's no better solution.
Thanks.
You can use Iconsoft PhonEx or HTC Phone Canvas (search) if you don't want the default dialer.
For automatic locking on an incoming call, you can use Smartlock.
Wow. That...that is an excellent dialer, PhoneEx. Wonder why I haven't heard of it before. Solves all my dialer problems. Thanks a lot
I use the default dialer and I like it alot. Granted I skinned it. But I have auto-lock on, which when used with the dialer, will switch to the lockscreen after you dial a number. The In-Call lockscreen has lots of functions like Speaker, Contacts, etc. Pretty neat.
My latest LITE rom is setup pretty slick using all standard WM apps.
@player911: Which auto lock app do you use which switches to the lockscreen after dialing? The same smartlock that Livven mentioned? I'm quite happy with PhoneEx, but it's commercial, so I'd prefer If I can setup something free.
I have a new Tilt 2 (my last was the Tilt) from AT&T and I have been searching for a new dialer pad with bigger buttons. Unlike the original Tilt, the buttons aren't terrible but I would like them to be a bit bigger. Once upon a time, I installed the PaulyA dialer for the Tilt and I was wondering if there was a similarly large version for the Tilt2. I have tried several that had the wrong resolution (apparently not WVGA) but I can't find one that seems to work for the Tilt2.
I found a iPod look-alike that was kinda cool (lost the link) but it wouldn't replace the stock dialer, it was a separate app that had google voice (not what I need).
I found the Insoft Phone 5 product, but it seems to have issues with Caller ID. I was also looking for something that was either free OR was available in US $.
I also found the Dark Rhodium Touch Pro 2 Dialer but the buttons are just black and do not seem to be any bigger.
I understand that the smart dialer takes up a lot of real-estate but I would gladly sacrifice a couple of entries for bigger buttons.
BTW, I did run a search with some keywords but maybe I have missed the thread. If I have, please accept my apologies in advance.
Have you looked at Iconsoft PhonEx 2.2? One of the best dialers out IMO full screen contact pic ID and full screen dialer.
Thanks! That is exactly what I wanted. Lots more features than I had expected.
Hi,
The two things preventing me from switching over to CM 7 are dialer and keyboard. So
1. Does anyone manage to port HTC keyboard to CM7 . If no can anyone suggest me a decent T9 keyboard .?
2. Any decent dialers . Many dialers failed to clear the missed calls and many failed to recognize space in T9 mode. Meaning when the name is "test name" , the dialer expects me to press space character which is inadmissible.
Thanks,
Karthik

try Swype keyboard and go dialer
Xperian8~ click thanks if it helps...
Go contact scrolling through contacts is very laggy when compared to stock cm7 contacts. Any other suggestions?

what?
There are quite a few keyboards that support t9 compact keyboards, smart keyboard is one of those. You can install the trial and check it out, even though I'd recommend swiftkey for anything to do with typing.
The CM 7.2 release candidate supports t9 and it works well enough for me. I don't really understand your gripe with space, but to type "test name" you'd go 837806 where the 0 means space. You could also only type the second name and choose from the drop down menu. From what I gather it will rank the numbers by popularity, so the ones you call more often will be on the top most of the time. So even without ignoring spaces (what it seems you want), it'll still most likely get the contact you need after the first 3 letters.
Hello guys
the problem with impossibility change stock ICS dialer by another one from third party is driving me crazy... I tried everything including factory reset and complete wipe. Always the bloody stock dialer come up when use any dialer from the market. Even if I swipped launcher and phone icon on home screen. Third party dialer itself works OK, but when dialing I always getting stock ICS dialer!!
Kinldy ask all for help how to disable stock ICS original dialer that I hate!
Thanks indeed
Ciao
Go to settings for the phone.apk and clear defaults.
I did it, but when dialing form eXdialer, always stock comes up..., I rebooted phone after change, but still in troubless...
any clue?
If you mean the actual dialing (call active), you can't change that. Dialler is the app used to find the number, and the call itself is done through the stock dialer.
Swyped on my CM9 Galaxy Nexus
I recently found the answer in another thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1388274

How can I change the default dialler for SGN so I can use Dialer one or Go Contact EX? it wont come up with the action request pop up.

The OP answered it himself, and did so by updating the #1 post, so it might not have looked like the answer...
The phone icon in the launcher is actually a direct link to the phone app so you just have to replace that with your own chosen dialler app! in 2.x it was a link to the default phone app but in ICS it is different.

So, just drag the phone icon off the bottom area and drag the alternate dialer you want to use down there.
Thanks guys for help.
To make it short, the main problem with dialer is that no possibility of SPEED DIAL. This has been solved by using shortcuts on second home screen for frequent calls. The key problem is impossibility to see right below the contact also a company. Actually I register roughly 1.400 contacts in the phone and not always sure about which caller belongs to what company once I get ring up. So I see only the name and not sure about company that the guy comes from.
Maybe some solution is already existing, so I would really apreciate it from you
Ciao
