[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mogster2K:
The controller works fine if you root. However, if you install a custom ROM, you will need to connect the controller to the Shield with a micro-USB cable.

The only real problem I have with the Shield is that Android TV is not nearly as capable as full Android.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silenus21:
Thanks a lot guys.

Hopefully I can sell my nexus player with my x360 pad on it and recoup some money for the shield tv.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silenus21:
Is that online?

Share a link please.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foomanjackel:
Yes, online only. Bought mine in store 3 weeks ago with one controller. Returned yesterday for full refund which they put on a gift card. Used gift card at home to purchase online w/the extra controller. I'll be without unit for a few days while waiting for the new one, but I dont mind the wait if I can get a unit with the extra $60 controller :D

[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silenus21:
Thanks.

But sucks they don't take my paypal from outside USA.

And they are expensive on Ebay.

Wait, Amazon has it with the second controller for 200.

[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PanchoPlanet:
Using the 16gb model on my Sony Bravia TV with matching home theater setup with TV remote function with all shield apps including Kodi.

Missed out on free remote offer but pleasantly surprised that original TV remote gives me full functionality and more.

My only regret is that I didn't get it sooner. [emoji13]

My roku3 is collecting dust big time.

Have not subscribed to cable since 2010. Before shield was running MK-908 and was happy with setup, but the shield blows everything else out of the water.

[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sub-Negro:
Yes I love mine the only thing I dislike is I bought the Pro model and you don't have full access to the HD unless you do some skull doggery. If it were easy to put a SSD in it and actually be able to hook it up to my pc that thing would be totally awesome 10/10 but alas you can't. I say get the 16GB model and go from there.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silenus21:
Thanks guys, got mine today.

Now to read some guides on rooting this thing.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foomanjackel:
fairly simple guide here:

* be sure to have a usb mouse ready....you'll need it to make the "swipe to flash" when you are in TWRP. i tried a keyboard (with trackpad), the remote and even the phone app....but only the mouse would work for that step.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silenus21:
Thanks.

Rooted it yesterday.

Only having trouble setting up Dolphin, can't configure the shield controller and can't find an ini online.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cosooner:
I bought my shield to run as a Plex server because all Plex could talk about was "Shield is THE server..." It's not until you get it running that you learn that is cannot do a lot of things that my PC server handles easily. Then you find out that there's no Music Plus and missing transcoders and, btw, I hope you still have that PC because you will need it to manage your Shield Plex Server and migrate your media. Oh, and wait until you learn about file sharing with the Shield...allow yourself a little time! The punchline is that performance is tame. I do not serve 4K media, but 1080p was great from the PC that runs as a vm with 4GB.

And I made the mistake of tossing an extra remote and the (very cool and expensive) stand in my cart.

Oh well. I really need to start playing games.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mikhe69:
Have anyone see this?

http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/pocketplus/?en

Now it's possible to use finger almost everywhere.:D

Looks very good.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gjw:
They've removed the repeating alarm feature which is a deal-breaker for me.

They've announced that they'll be making it available as a separate download later so I hope they follow through.

Other than that its pretty cool.

The touch scrolling is a very nice addition.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mikhe69:
So far so good.

As a today plugin it's great, we can add/integrate (almost) everything to it!:eek:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hiitsme:
Nice

Looks very good.

I like the "finger" scrolling movement.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Charlie Mouse:
The problem is the finger scrolling only works with a small number of applications that are defined by SPB. I tried the trial and found that FTouchFlo (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=334965) worked much better and also works in every application.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] varvocel:
Finger scrolling works very slow in IE on my Artemis (WM6).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] corranq:
I installed it for all of one hour before I lost my marbles and got rid of it, lol... the thing slowed my cell phone down, not too much, but enough for me to be very unhappy with it. Additionally, the autohide function does not enable scrolling if the today screen icons happen to surpass the screen size... and, it disables other plugins I love and enjoy to use such as the Battery Status plugins, argh!

Overall, I could come to love a nifty program like Pocket Plus 4, but I think I'll stick to smaller plugins like PIEPlus and FTouchFlo to cover my needs for now :-S
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] johanromijn:
Just installed on my Kaiser. I looks a lot like SPB Mobile Shell, but the option to add Today Plugins is fantastic. When it doesn't affect my battery or performance too much, this one stays!

I can't tell affect on battery yet, but performance it still ok!

Just posted some screenshots. It looks pretty nice with HTC Home.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] reihen:
i like what you did with the htc home plugin in the middle. nice :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DvTonder:
Yes, very nice. How did you do that? I notice that it is embedded in your Home Tab.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RPG0:
in case he doesn't come back: if you can't do it by default (maybe you can) there's a reg tweak to make the htc home plugin movable
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] omegatek:
Can you post the reg tweak?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
Judging by johanromijn's screen-shots, it looks like you can make PocketPlus look like MobileShell (without the dynamic icons) if that is true, then if you don't use the Now screen, is there any real benefit to MobileShell?

The one thing I would wonder before trying, is.....do the tabs disapear like MobilShell, or stay constant like old PocketPlus? That would be the deal-breaker for me!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gerald_s:
Sure.

MobileShell is using less memory :)

But both are for the same price so if one doesn't care about memory guess its better to buy PocketPlus.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DaVince:
The smart scrolling feature is freakin awesome! :eek: i dont need pcm contacts anymore since I can touch scroll on the built in contacts and messaging! I can even touch scroll on PIE and file manager.. damn this is good.

I'm using a Hermes and it has no impact on performance whatsoever. It can flip through portrait and landscape in a millisecond (unlike SPB Diary). This is the best today plug-in I've tried so far.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] iggy:
Agreed, on my Apache, it works great I going to see if they will implement sweep right/left to change through letters in contacts or flip through photos, that would be nice.

Also hope they can implement the finger scroll when scrolling through appts. in SPB Diary.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xxza:
the finger scrolling does not work with resco explorer :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DaVince:
I think SPB will not support any products from other companies my friend. :D

You can still have the touch scrolling feature using this

Does anyone know how to make the Calendar appear on one of the tabs? I've made the same change as listed here for the HTC Home plugin, but it doesn't seem to work for the Calendar.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ragart:
Finger Scroll can be expanded in Pocket Plus

Actually folks, they do plan on helping people expaand the finger scrolling capabilities, check here for the reg edit files:

http://www.spbclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10531
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zard:
Agreed with you fully!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] johanromijn:
That is not possible.

The calendar is not a normal Today Plugin, but hardcoded into the today screen. You better use TodayAgenda or PocketBreeze.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] varvocel:
You could give SPB Diary a try. By the way a have a problem with this plug-in.

When I integrate SPB Diary into one of the Pocket Plus tabs and set auto-height in Diary - system hangs. When I set height manually - everything works OK.

Maybe somebody could check it out?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] alexala:
Someone knows how making iconset for pocket plus 4?I know tha the .dat files are renamed .zip file, but the 2 bmp files into the .zip are password protected. How we can make new iconset? Sorry for my bad english.

I've also posted a review of three brand new and/or vastly enhanced modules; see the Generic forum.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ahchek:
Seems SPB Pocket Plus is great, but I'm confused as SPB have some other similar product like, SPB Mobile Shell and SPB Phone Suite... So, which is better?:confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Menneisyys:
They're pretty hard to compare as it's only SPP that has additional utilities like button enhancer, IEM plug-in etc
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tonio94:
Quite a great application. I also like the tab added to pocketIE

Nevertheless, I have a small probleme with it :

I installed the trick to get the battery percent display instead of the classic battery icon on the today top bar (see attachment n°1)

As soon as I install Pocket Plus, it installs it's own battery icon and replace mine (see attachment n°2)

When I uncheck Battery indicator in pocketplus functions, it removes the battery icon but the time icon remains instead of my old battery icons (see attachment n°3)

If sb could help me to get rid of this clock (uninstalling Pocket Plus is not a correct answer to this question ;-) )
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] King of Rapture™:
Hi there,

Either check the first or the second options, which will give you the battery status on the top of the screen as a bar. The options are:

1. Small bar indicator

2. Large bar indicator

3. Icon indicator

I prefer the second option, "Large bar indicator. I gives me dotted line at the top with the amount of total battery and remaining battery.

I also noticed that you have HTC Task Manager enabled. I would disable it as Pocket Plus has it's own task manager. After disabling the HTC Task Manager, if you click and hold at were the icon used to be, you will be able to excess the Pocket Plus task manager.

KOR!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DvTonder:
This is the exact reason why I un-installed this application.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] johanromijn:
That's correct. That also happens to me with PocketBreeze. (I doesn't hang, but makes it too large so scroll bars appear) I'm not sure why that happens, but I've configured the right height now, so I can live with it.

Does anybody know how to put Egress (rss reader) into PocketPlus tabs?

Is it possible?, if not, do you know one which allows that?

(I don't like Spb Insight)

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
Is Egress a Today plug-in? If it is, you can just select it to show in a tab by creating the tab that way, or pressing on a current tab for a few seconds until the menu pops up, cluck on plug-ins, and select egress, if not, I don't think you can do more than place the icon in a tab!!

Basically (as far as any other RSS apps go) if they have Today plug-in capability, you should be able to place it in a tab, if not, only the icon to run the app.

Good luck
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] carblanco:
Egress has the Today option but it is not listed into the "plug-in" options in PocketPlus 4.

Any tip?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ArrO:
@ Henftling

Thankx a lot for the super nice icons
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
So....when you go into your system settings, you see Egress listed as a Today screen item? One thing to try (If you haven't already) is to activate the Today screen option in Egress, and try to add it into a tab while it is on yout Today screen.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greg3d:
This may be the same issue that causes the HTC Home plugin from not being able to be used in a tab initially because it's locked (unmoveable in the Today screen ordering).

The Solution there is to change the registy as such:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HTC Home

Type=4

I suggest you browse to the same Registry directory (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\) and look for the Egress plugin and change the "Type" Dword value to 4, it's probably set to 5 (locked) by default. In the unlikely event the key is not there, try adding it.

I don't use Egress, so cannot check this out for you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] carblanco:
Hi, thanks for the tip but unfortunately the DWORD is already set to 4.

I can see Egrees on today but not in PocketPlus tabs...

Can you share with use your secret?

How do you go from a png via a bmp to a dat file.

I could do it in iLauncher... Why not in PocketPlus?

Thanks.

FTouchFlo, Smart Scrolling and Touch Cube: can they coexist?

I have installed FTouchFloCubeESv2 (Complete ftouchflocube package), it uses FTouchFlo which is the solution/replacement option for us non-Touch ROM/Scrolling devices that use TouchFlo, at least before Pocket Plus came into the picture. My question is simply this, is possible to run both FTouchFlo and the Smart Scrolling feature at the same time? Reason for question is I like Smart Scroller better than FTouchFlo but I like to use the 'Cube' feature which is navigated by gestures. From Bottom to Up to activate the cube, left to right or right to left (sliding gesture) so the cube 'turns' to next page and finally from top to bottom to deactive (close cube). Other than that FTouchFlo works on any program with scrolling side bars with the ability to have an exclusion list. My experience upon installing both, is that although Smart Scrolling shows enabled and FTouchFlo was previously enabled ( I tried it in reverse order as well) I am not able to see Smart Scrolling work as FTouchFlo overrides this function. Alltough FTouchFlo's configuration utility has the options to enable FTtouchFlo and disable the scrolling features (so that the cube works only (gestures only mode)) it seem that Smart Scrolling doesn't work when it should, infact there is no "scrolling" function at all. When I disable FTouchFlo the Smart Scrolling feature works. Any ideas or solutions would be appreciated.

Possible solutions:

1. Smart Scrolling gesture features get updated to handle the "Cube"

2. Name the exe file that is doing the scrolling so that it may added to the exclusionary list. I could try this but I don't know the name of that file yet, does anyone know it, I will test.

3. Figure out a way for Smart Scrolling to acknowledge or know that the scrolling features of FTouchFlo has been disabled therefore communicating to 'Smart Scrolling' that there is NO conflict allowing it to co-exist.

Thanks in advance,

Luis

Pocket plus works great with my Cruise. But if I allow X button I do not see it :( But I could tap into its position and menu appears and it is fully functional (but not see it!!) Is it possible to solve it?

Second...after disable pocket plus X button three lines at top right corner for closing aplications does not appear even after soft reset!! So what to do to to see it??

THX
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] smittyofdhs:
this happens because pocket plus turns off the default task manager on the cruise. to turn on default task manger goto start > settings > system > task manager and turn it back on.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
You absolutelly right! Task manager has been disabled so after enabling it X appears.

But it is not answered me to my first question, how to put X button from SPB pocket plus to the top right corner. X button is functional, but I do not see the icon of it :( In Cruise Task manager menu is checkbox "Enable quick menu on today screen" and this is it (if it is disabled, i do not see the "x button"). After checking this, I see the icon in a cruise task manager, but I can not find it in SPB pocket plus x button plugin to check this to have visible X button from SPB :(

edit: it is visibble on a first picture on this thread page (rtakeo posted it). At top right corner......nothing
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] smittyofdhs:
SPB doesn't put an X button on the today screen like the bulit-in task manager does. If you have SPB active and task manager turned off, then you should be able to tap-n-hold on the today screen (right corner) and you shold get SPBs task menu.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
You are right. I wrote it is fully functional, but it is not visible. So my question has been about what to do to have it visible ;) I see nothing is possible so I must live with that ;) Anyway thank you for an answer.
