Nice solution!

Very nice solution!

I only got 1 problem;

Is it possible to fill the sim pin automaticly? Something like "save pin"?

Or a program to do so?

Thanks!

Hello!

I would like to find a way to go back to the Spb Menu (the main menu with the grid of My Menu, Organizer, Programs, etc). When I'm in this Spb Menu and I click on a program to launch, after closing the program, I get taken back to the WinMobile 6 Today screen instead of back inside the Spb Menu where I want to be taken back, after any launch and close from within it. Hope this makes sense.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mchapman007:
Common problem with Mobile Shell 2.0. There may be a reg edit somewhere... I believe this issue has been brought up in the Spb forums and there may be a work around there also.

sim pin before now screen

Hi all, and again, thx for the .cab and info.

I'm still having the following issue;

SPB MS starts before the screen to put in the sim pin does, so I have to go out of SPB MS and put in the pin by choosing the settings of the phone connection.

Normally the sim pin screen starts before every other program, so I would really wanna know how I could change the priority of programs that are in the startup folder, or if it's possible to define ur sim pin with some tool/hack so you don't have to put it in when you softreset.

Thx!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] skynet08:
That'S exactly what I need. Anyone has any idea how to do this?

My workaround was to set the S2U2 activate if the backlight goes off. And in the settings I set the backlight to switch off after 10 seconds. So I can just wait 10 seconds in the spb Home Menu and wait till the backlight goes off and activates the S2U2 :)

Before on today screen I used to have phonealarm.. but now since I installed SPBWatcher, I cannot use Today screen .. which is good

But, when a missed call is there phonealarm keeps beeping until I touch the ico n on Todayscreen..

Would it be possible to alter the memwatcher program where it has an interface or xml file that allows the changing of the screen that is displayed by default?

With all the great work done by people customizing shell, some newer themes have moved the clocks and calenders to other panels.

This would be a great update if at all possible.

Thanks.

Sounds like mobile shell isn't in the startup folder, maybe try reinstalling mobile shell.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ivtec20:
I'm using some of the various altered themes available for Mobile Shell, and some of them have split the Now screen into two screens; a Time Now screen and a Calender Now screen. On some of these themes, they have moved the Time Now screen to the center, like the center icon on the bottom doc, and have the Calender Now screen on the far left. For these themes, the Watcher program automatically brings me back to the Calender Now screen, instead of the Time Now screen I would prefer... Any way to change this to work with these themes? Thanks.

I installed the CAB to my device but am still returning to the default today screen instead of spb menu screen. Am using i780.

Advice n Thanks!:confused:

This today watcher thing doesn't seem to allow you to use the "USB to PC" screen... it closes immediately after opening... have to disable the plugin to run it... any workarounds for this?

thanks ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] beneoo:
Okay, tried reinstall the spbwatcher and works now. Probable cause for initial unsuccess was I installed the application into Storage card but will be workable when installed into Device.

Ciaoz n thank you the provider!

This program ****ed up my PPC. I got an MenuLauncher error, after which my PPC was useless. None of the keys on my PPC worked anymore. Fortunately, I could uninstall this program using ActiveSync.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MrDoody:
ditto here. how do you disable this? there's no obvious uninstall mechanism.

thx,

doody
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MrDoody:
hopefully i won't go blind answering my own questions here ;-)

you can install it via WMDC/Active Sync. Add/Remove Programs in there generates a MUCH richer list than the list you get on the WM device (silly but true!).

safe install

What is the exact location where I have to put the menulauncher.exe file

i've located it in program files/mobile shell/shell/ but i still get the error when i press the x putton

maybe this is because i have version 2.1 instead of 2.0?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] steb0ne:
I just installed the cab (on the device, since this is where I installed SPB Mobile Shell), did a soft reset, went to today settings to make sure it was checked and it's working fine. I see it in add/remove programs on my device also.

FYI, I'm using dcd's 3.1.2 rom on a Sprint Mogul. No errors, lock ups or anything.

Nice work

i think there's a bit of a glitch that i've noticed... i'm using this theme by

420mac- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=2220098#post2220098

well, on his theme the first button is the programs page, second is his clock page, third is contacts. any time that my phone wakes up it should go to the clock page, which is the default 'now screen', but for some reason it is treating the programs page as the now screen. so now every time my device wakes up, it starts off with programs instead of the clock. just wondering if there is a workaround for this or i'm just out of luck? thanks alot for your time and help with this.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 12gage:
it seems that Mobile Shell is already instaled in a folder called "Spb Mobile Shell" inside Program Files, I keep seeing that i should create a folder but it looks like the folder that i'm suppose to create is already there with MenuLauncher.exe already in there
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dbigdawg:
Then your application is loaded correctly and you should not have any problems with Spb Watcher. Once I flashed a new ROM, I had no issues either. I am not sure why but different installations of Spb seem to react differently to Spb Watcher.

SPB glitch - Caller ID disabled

I'm running SPB Mobile 2.1 on my HTC Mogul with S2u2 and S2V installed and this SPB Watcher app. I've got "full screen" caller ID photo enabled via S2u2.

When someone calls without a photo associated, the phone stays on the Today screen and the #/name do not appear. When a photo is assigned the photo/name/# come right up. User error?? Thanks in advance!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 12gage:
I love this program, there is the slight flash that isn't bad but if that minimizes it would be perfect. The only thing I've noticed it since installing this sometimes it takes an especially long time to boot, it will stay stuck in the splash screen until I hit the reset button several times, even not until I remove my sd card. I have all other today plugins disabled is there any reason that you could think of for this? Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dbigdawg:
I haven't had anything like that happen. Does is reside on your card or on your phone? That could be the only thing that I could see causing an issue.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] smittyofdhs:
yep, pretty much all mobile shell now. I did leave the HTC Diamond Large Start menu cab installed, that way i can use a finger-friendly start menu. Also, I have the 'windows' button mapped to the start menu, so Ii can easy bring up the start menu even with mobile shell showing. I removed all my today apps, HTC Home, HHC1.0, SPB PP4 today plugin, HTC task manager 2.1, smooth battery icon cab, and turned off the taskbar gestures for mobile shell because I never need them anymore as Mobile Shell is my Today....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] van3605:
No change w\ spbwatcher installed

No change when I installed this to either Memory or Card on my AT&T Tilt.

Anyone else having this? I tried a soft reset after each of the installs.

Still, when ending programs, it returns to the original WM6 today screen.

I'm running the ROM version 1.62.502.0
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] smittyofdhs:
did you soft rest your device? And don't ever install a today plugin to storage card, you will have major issues with that.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] van3605:
Now working.

For some reason, Spbwatcher was not showing up as Today plug-in that could be selected.

But after de-installing, soft reset, then reinstalling, now shows as one of the plug-ins that can be selected under Settings: Today-Items.

This is GREAT! Just what I was looking for. Many thanks to everyone involved in creating.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] brianlau:
You are the greediest member on this board! come on now. What you asked for is not an easy task first of all, second, its kind of useless, just use HTC Home, it has everything SPB Menu has on the first screen.

Working fine with my atom

the *.cab file works well with my atom. i'm using ms v2.1
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] smittyofdhs:
YES, all naviagtion is done via MS2.1 for me now. The real start menu doesnt even get used, I mapped the windows hardware button to the My Menu of MS2.1 and then just mimic the same shortcuts from Start menu to My Menu. The only time I have to use the stylus or the real start menu is when I have to go deep into some settings or application that is just too hard to use via finger taps.

I've removed the following apps as they are no longer needed since I use SPB MS2.1 as my today screen:

HTC Home

HTC Home Customizer

HTC Diamond HHC files for HTC Home

HTC Task Manager 2.1 Big Buttons

Quick Menu

SPB Diary

Smooth Battery Icons cab

HTC Enlarge Title Bar

HTC Enlarge Start Menu (it's gone for good now, see prior post)

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] smittyofdhs:
works perfectly for me ever since day 1. it's not very complicated, it just redirects to MS Now Page when the OS gets a call for the today screen. It has worked since day for me.

What device/OS are you running that it won't work on?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] smittyofdhs:
I'm sure you are right, you are not using a WWE ROM, you are using a foreign language ROM. SPBWatcher is looking for an app (well sort of an app extension) called *Now, which is part of SPB Mobile Shell. Most likely *NOW is not the name of the app extension when used with localized language.

Hi!

Got my hope up! :) Are you sure about the path?

On my device it's:

Program/Spb Mobile Shell/

The install path of my Spb Mobile shell....

But i think i've tried this before you post a reply :)

Realy want to get rid of my default screen!

Thanks for the tip!

ToddeSwe

Later:

Yes!!! It was as i presumed, i had on my Swedish device a slightly different path for it:

I put my MenuLauncher.exe into the Program Files/Spb Mobile Shell folder instead! And NOW it's working fine :)

Hope this helped ONE person :)

THANKS!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] donbronzi:
Nice app. This works fine on my Kaiser with Spb MS 2.1 does exactly what it says. Would be great if we could have the option of viewing the old today screen. I find i do need to view it on occasions for instance it has things like SPB GPRS monitor on it and SPB weather that i need to view. I have also found it seems to slow the device a little but not nough to worry me. This is a great idea just needs a little more develpment and flexibility. Thanks looking forward to the next version???
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] daeshawn:
Thanks

Once again another plugin to save the day!!. I've been getting stressed trying to figure out how to make the today screen disappear...thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BillTheCat:
Can someone explain what this does, if anything, to the registry? I'm asking because if at some point in the future SPB does rewrite the program to perform this function, I wonder if this utility might not interfere. And even though you can uninstall a program, often leftover registry entries can create problems.

Is it (cleanly, completely) reversible with any changes to the registry restored upon uninstall?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] smittyofdhs:
I've uninstalled/reinstalled many times on my Tilt and never once had an issue. But others have complained I believe....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Elim:
Non-English devices/roms

That's correct. When you have an rom in another language the progam-directory has another name and the launcher isn't found.

So:

1. create the directory "Program Files"

2. create in this directory another directory "Spb Mobile Shell"

3. copy "MenuLauncher.exe" from your local installation in this directory.

4. have fun. :D

Help Please

I love the SBP Mobile and SBPWatcher Combo.

Only problem I have now is I need an easier way to access the "X-Button" feature to shut down programs and free up memory.

I currently have to go into the today settings and turn off the sbpwatcher plugin, then shut down programs, then go back in and turn the watcher back on.

Is there a better way?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BillTheCat:
Yes.

Go to the Programs screen in MobileShell -> Tools -> Task Manager and lauch it.

You'll see that it will appear in your small icon bar(s) at the top of MS. Pin that to the main screen and you'll have a finger-friendly way to close programs globally or individually.

can not instal! can someone tell me why the exe file is with "opera "icon ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] HCHybrid:
Ok, here's a 'how to' for my foreign (dutch) i900 omnia

Install spbwatcher.cab on 'my device' (NOT my storage!)

launch the explorer on your device

and go to: my device\programmabestanden*(can vary depending on your language)\spb mobile shell\

copy menulauncher.exe by pressing once (and hold!) on this filename

then select copy

* if not exactly called 'program files' do this:

(I had to create this path:

my device\program files\spb mobile shell\

manualy, using the explorer:

locate my device... menu... select new folder...type program files...etc)

When you're in the last dir (spb mobile shell) you just created...

press once (and hold) and select 'paste'... now you should see

menulancher.exe in that new dir.

Reset your omnia and goto Today (Vandaag in Dutch)

click on tab items and make sure you only select spbwatcher...

Should be working properly now... no more 'Today' screen...

sooo 2007 :-)

Mission accomplished! :D

Ps. here's a how to if you get an error message and you phone locks up :eek:

due to that error message... reset again... and before you enter the pin code

for your phone-sim click on 'start'...

you can then go to settings and unselect spbwatcher in your Today/Items tab.

Credits belong also to 'dreamboy'... from this Dutch forum:

Hard reset was necessary on Omnia i900

I must be more unlucky than some of you guys.

After soft reset: menulauncher problem. no keys work anymore.

But I can not deinstall spb watcher. My USB connection setting on my phone is still on "mass device" setting and not ActiveSync.

No keys worked on the phone so changing this setting to activesync is not possible. I need activesync to de-install Spb watcher.

I can browse the phone but only the storage card...

I will now hard reset it. :-(
