Hi all, i wanna ask if i should install mobile shell onto my kaiser? really luv the page of mobile shell but heard it drain out the battery and slow down the ram...is that true?

i want something to display my battery % without clicking in as well a clena calender on interface...pls let me know which software provide it.

thks alot!

p.s. the Kaiser really smooth runnign so far + the radio rom really much improved comapre to my previous Trinty.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] technillion:
Yes it's true!

From my experiences, everything you've heard about the SPB shell and other apps (Diary, Weather, etc.) do in fact drain the battery! There is also a noticeable slowdown in performance with these running.

With these installed and enabled on my Task Window, I go from 100% charge down to 60% in about 3 hours. I was obviously tethered to a power plug or car adapter.

I've opted to go with the native HTC Home plugin and will work this weekend to customize the weather, the CUBE, icons, and all the other goodies.

I am in the same boat as you and I was just debating myself on the same thing.......

I had used many SPB software and had SPB MS/Backup/PhoneSuite on my P3600i prior to the Kaiser. But HTC Home gave me substantially similar functionality (except for SBP Backup which I installed on my Kaiser), I am very hesitant in installing SPB software if they are not needed, especially when the Kaiser is so stable without MS/PhoneSuite.......
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gogol:
I use HTC home plugin and the battery life is good.

For battery indicator, I suggest "batti"

http://pda.jasnapaka.com/batti/

It is very light, very small, works well, customizeable :)

For calendar, you may look Calendar+ or TodayAgenda.

Btw, do you use SPB GPRS Monitor as well?

I am considering of using it, but thinking of memory drain.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] chocodip:
hey all,

thks for all da infos~~~i think i will keep my HTC instead. Since it's really smooth runnin dun wanna slow down by any softwares.

Kaiser is soooo much improved on speed .......previous i hv problem with mapking R12 (the speed , the reaction.....just so dead slow) now really kickin off!

i m luvin it!~~

ps. For the Batti software....seems it's similar to the preinstall one...anyone?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gogol:
No, it is not the same :)

Batti gives you "line" indicator at the very top of your sceen.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] chocodip:
but i got the line indicator now as well.....hmm.......
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] max3400:
I immediately switched back to Mobile Shell. Don't get me wrong; the default design of WM6 is fine but the clock is way to large and some tabs really bug me (like quick-choice for the sound profiles).

My phones need to have a clean interface so now I'm only running the default install of Mobile Shell, Owner and Calendar. Loads of room on screen to spare for new/cool apps.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] danprodan:
SPB Shell is the way for me.

My experience is that with HTC Home plug-in battery drained faster than with SBP Shell. I also find Shell easier to use with fingers. An more configurable.

I have cLaunch with large iPhone icones attached to one of the Shell's tabs - works very nice.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gogol:
Quick question for you Mobile Shell user :)

I like the PHOTO tab in the HTC Home where you can put 9 pictures for speed dial.

And I saw SpB shell can have that too.

But from the screenshot in the website, it displays about 5 pictures ...

Actually, how much can you have with Mobile Shell?

Thanks :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mlai:
Mobile Shell can have 3-4 contact tabs with 5 contacts each.......
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] chocodip:
oh....HTC plugin drain faster the mobile shell? u serious? oh man....wut should i do now....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gogol:
Hmmm, too little :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] technillion:
That is interesting...

Yea...I didn't find this to be true at all in my case. The native HTC plugins don't drain my battery at all.

I've now removed all SPB apps and am running just the HTC Home plugin. I now got the CUBE to animate so I'm really excited! I'll work on more CUBE and Home plugin customizations.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ROOSH315:
I love SPB Mobile Shell, I was using it with my original TyTN. However, for some reason, it kept freezing my TyTN II device whenever I key locked it. I also noticed my device was sluggish with it. I am NOT a fan of the HTC Shell one bit. It takes up the whole screen. So, now I use iLauncher for my shortcuts to programs or as my shortcut phone calls to contacts.

I hope SPB Mobile Shell comes out with a new release which corrects many of these issues.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jbcross:
I cant seem to get it to install. Are you using HTC Home - stock, out of the box? I have Home Customizer on mine and keep getting the black screen.

Thanks.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Micro64:
Use Batti for Battery Display ALL THE WAY! (Since Blue Angel...)

I got my TyTN(Hell it is hard to type it right) yesterday and i find the HTC Home application very neat. Compared to SPB Shell, I think i will use the HTC Home and forget about installing the resource exhaustive SPB applications(not too bad but still)

SPB Shell needs some refining before i will consider it again.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Jason Lee:
I used Mobile shell on my 8125. Loved it. but i find that everything i used it for is now built in to my TyTN II. Weather, photo speed dial, program shortcuts, time, phone ringer settings switching.. There is no need for the now screen with the HTC home plugin.. I did use spb menu but now that my new device actually has a start menu button this really isn't needed any more either. So i saved myself a ton of ram and skipped on Mobile shell.

I did install diary though. It is still the best calendar today plugin for me. I disabled all the tabs except the calendar tab and have it setting just bellow HTC home.. works well. And you know what? it is actaully very fast and doesn't use very much ram if you disable all the tabs :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] chrisnash:
I was likewise a big fan of SPB Shell but I found it more of a drain on memory than anything. I was constantly down to about 13mg with it running. Not the same problem with the Home plug-in.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Chak:
Mobile Shell is using about 1,8 mb memory

when active
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jcrompton:
I installed a "upgrade to the "Kaiser HTC 3G Dialer" that has the percentage battery life left in the top tray - it works great. Remember after you search and find it in the TyTN forum area (I think) install teh SDKCerts cab first.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CrozB:
I run SPB products with my Kaiser and am very happy with performance.

Currently I am running SPB:

Mobile Shell

Phone Suite

Pocket Plus

Diary

I also have Time and Weather installed but not active on the Today Screen. I have not had any issue with the SPB Mobile Shell not working on my Kaiser. Performance is great as long as I keep diary from expanding more than 2 days at once. Even then everything runs great unless I rotate the screen. Then I get a “very slight” delay.

One issue that I have with Pocket Plus and my Kaiser, is the Bright UP/DOWN buttons do not work. Nor does the brightness change with my profiles in Phone Suite. This is unfortunate as I use those for quick backlight settings when in the bright sun and using GPS. The Brightness control in Mobile Shell works fine (better than HTC home), but I would still prefer the buttons in Pocket Plus and even more so in my Phone Suite Profiles. Hopefully SPB will have a patch for this soon :-\

Although it takes 2-3 SPB products to get you all the “features of HTC Home” HTC Home is too large, its phone profiles too basic, and it lacks the expandability, flexibility and ease of use compared to the far more featured filled SPB Mobile Shell Tabs and today interfaces. If I wanted to have a phone dictate to me the look and function of my main screen I would get an i-Phone :-P
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] lettcco:
I also have a battery drain problem on my TyTN with SPB mobile shell. There is a SPB support forum and people also mentioned the same problem. Their fix was disable auto weather update and disable "now" screen appearing when power on.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] lubosch07:
hello, i have to say spb products make using of PPC much more easier, with real finger touch. mobile shell with its version of contacts, user-friendly way of controling system - and i MUST emphasize that unlike HTC touchflo and other-flo SPB lets you control not just the first, skinny level, but deeper levels of system - is really the only one thing comaprable to iphone. i use e-ten m700 (64 RAM/128 ROM), have spb mobile shell, spb pocket plus and spb phone suite installed and it really works! yes - you have to pay for it, and it is not cheap, but this is the way to live with xour machine pleasantly

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Lavachild:
I also think SPB shell almost doubles the life. It drains much slower then with the htc home activated. also, i think its faster with the shell (enable the option to actually close programs when the x is pressed instead of holding it down). Now I wish they would merge the "now" screen with the today screen.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mlai:
Actually, may I ask why does it take 2-3 SPB products to replace HTC Home?

Comparison:

HTC Home contacts: SPB Mobile Shell has dialerpads of 5 each and up to 3 tabs for a total of 15......

Time and Clock: I prefer the small standard today time display on WM6.... Besides, SPB MS has clocks for 3 cities.....

HTC Weather: SPBMS has a better weather display then HTC Home.

HTC Launch ICONs: You are aware that the SPBMS has the recently used ICON list WHICH CAN BE PINNED DOWN AND ADJUSTED, right?

HTC Profiles: They are simply, Normal, silent, vibrate. SPBMS has profiles, too.

Messages/SMS icon: The WM6 message today plug-in shows the same thing....

Network Service Provider name: Well, here a little registry trick to re-enable the comm manager today plug-in will do the trick. It will even show you the Wifi SSID and bluetooth status as well.....

So am I missing anything from the HTC Home?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Lavachild:
where is the link to the tweak that enables the provider listing?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Lavachild:
does anyone know what the purchased version gives you over the download? i am planning on purchasing just curious? also, is there a way to show current temp instead of the high/low? this is probably a question for spb :)

Hello guys.

I changed my battery, and after that, unlocked the phone on the Motorola Website.

Everything alright, except my back camera is not working =\

Already opened the phone to see if the camera cable was untied, but was connected.

Made factory reset on fastboot, reinstaled ROM via RSD, and nothing worked =\

Anyone got any solution?

No answers? :/
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hazou:
I think u have some bad luck. Had this on one of my Razr I's. It could be the camera module that is faulty, but the mainboard can also be damaged. In my case the mainboard was bad and didn't work with a working camera module. Got spares so could try things.

U already have tried new software, so it couldn't be that.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diguincoutoreis:
Sorry for my noob feeling, but: when i install CM11 or the original rom, does all the drivers/files be reinstalled?

Could anyone tell which files are from them?
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hazou:
Yes, every single file, driver and firmware we can flash and have access to will be flashed when instaling the stock or CM rom. The stock rom even provides some boot firmware files.

What is XOSP and how was it born?

XOSP stands for the Xperia Open Source Project. The project was initially created by me (@nilac) for the Galaxy S+ (my old device) years ago. Back then the ROM was called S+ Reborn. The vision was to create a minimal bloat free ROM which included Sony Xperia specific apps and various tweaks users would expect from a custom ROM.

S+ Reborn became a success and was eventually ported to different devices so from there I rebranded and XOSP project was founded. I worked on the project for 2 years always trying to improve it. Eventually, Because of the fact Lollipop was buggy on my Galaxy S+ (Which I maintained xosp for at the time) I decided to take a break from development until I got my hands on the Zenfone 2 in 2015 and from then I started again the development of XOSP and continued it ever since.

What Represents a Release and what represents a Revision?

Revisions include small changes such as bug fixes/improvments etc.. (Usually there are made like 3 revisions per-release).

Releases are the main "stable" builds with all new planned features implemented and bugs fixed.

You can find all the included features right:

Here

You can find the list of current issues in the ROM right:
