Wait, so Mobile Shel;l 3 is out?

Has anyone tried Mobile Shell 3 on a Kaiser? I'm wondering if it's worth installing on my AT&T Tilt (currently using Mobile Shell version 2 and loving it)...
[General Topics] FloatingFatMan:
No, it's not. What IS out, is a leaked beta that's several versions old.
[General Topics] WatermelonSlim:
Is it any good? Is it worth the time for me to seek it out (better than version 2) and will it run okay on a Kaiser?
[General Topics] jez83uk:
There was a url to download the trial from spb. Aparently it was a beta that shouldnt have been released, and the url no-longer works.

I have been testing on my old wizard, and it runs very well. The weather didnt work until I copied the cities file from mobileshell2, but now seems to work very well including the carousel.

As it is a trial that was available for download from spb, it isn't warez. This cab will stop working after the trial period unless you get a registration number, but someone has fixed the weather. http://rapidshare.com/files/223215801/SpbMobileShell.cab

I have loaded onto my Omnia and it works very well.

I have one question though: I used to use Mobile Shell v2.1.5 together with the skins from http://www.imarche.net/omnia/index.php. The question is would these skins and options work with Mobile Shell v3.0 as well?

When setting a contact picture, does it save it to the Outlook contact as TouchFlo3D does?
[General Topics] bangbang023:
Weird bug or something: I have a 640*480 wallpaper. When I apply in in SPB, it zoom in on one section of the photo (top 25%, or so) and leaves it like that. I can't see the entire photo even though it's the correct size for my device. Odd. Same file works fine in TouchFlo.
[General Topics] phantomzer0:
It may have something to do with the default wallpaper size MS3 is using. If you browse your phone, you can find all the wallpapers included are all 960x768 pixels.

Try resizing to that and see if it works.
[General Topics] cktlcmd:
SPB Mobile Shell can be ran from the SD Card !!!! Saves humongous space.

Use SKTools' Move Folder Function to move the entire SPB Mobile Shell folder to your SD Card, but be sure to kill all processes first, otherwise, it won't allow you to move anything.
[General Topics] bangbang023:
Nope, same thing with a resized image.
[General Topics] Dosomo:
Hi. This is a feature in MS3. When in "Lifestyle mode", the background is designed to span all 3 screens. So, when you slide from one screen to the next, the background slides too (at a slightly slower rate). It gives a neat 3D effect. Unfortunately, if you try to use a background that doesn't match up well with the standard 960x768 size, it ends up looking odd. There are actually a bunch of backgrounds online that people have designed specifically for MS3. Do a quick google search, and you will find them. Not sure if there is a way to turn off this feature, if you don't care for it. Personally, I like it. :)
[General Topics] bangbang023:
But it doesn't even show the entire image height wise. It only shows about 1/4th or maybe 1/3rd of it. It's not just cut off horizontally, but also vertically.

This is a dumb feature, IMO. I have a picture, not a pattern, that I use as my background and, as of now, it's completely useless. Thank god for the trial period.
[General Topics] supersobbie:
Not overly impressed :\

OK I got around to installing a test one... And I am sorry to say... but I am unimpressed... yes it has a "FEW" widgets and will probably get a few more (Mostly from here, SPB is great at letting this forum do the grunt work for them).

Things I liked:

- Much Faster! It has very quick response time.

- Customizable! Well somewhat... it allows you to move stuff around but that is about it

Things I dont like:

- I dont like hitting the bottom right corner then having thumbing left to right.... seems like too many steps version 2 all you has to do was slide your thumb left to right to get to the next screen.

- Cant configure the carousel (That I have found yet) basically adding items to it.

- Can put your own plugins in the carousel... This has been asked for in every version... they do not even let you put other SPB products in the carousel... what a shame.

- Still does not allow integration with other applications AKA PI8 which I know has been asked for.

- Has the Start Bar at the top (WHY!). I do not recall but I think they were able to use the entire screen in MS2.

- The bottom Bar is a waste of Space... I would like it more if they used the bottom bar a little more like TF3D uses it with emanil notifications, call, etc...

Well that is my experience with it. I am sure it will get better but only because of the people in this forum. I use to LOVE Mobile Shell 2 on my Cingular 8125... but I was using GREATBAL's theme to make it look like TF3D. I think that was a better design then this one.

All in all it is quick and has a few nice things... Maybe once XDA gets a hold of it and redesigns it I may go and use it... until then I think I am heading back to TF3D. it is a little slower on the response time but has a better user interface as long as you play with it a little.... :\

Have a Great Day,

SoBBie

PS apparently it has not picked up since it is not even a sticky or even on the first 2 pages of this forum...

Just wondering about some different software. I've tried searching for these with no luck. There's 3 different programs I was wondering about

1 - a music download program for WM (ie. limewire, frostwire)

2 - An iPhone like program where you hold the phone up to the speaker and it will tell ya the name of the song playing

3 - An english to spanish translator

If there's anything out there like this please let me know

[G1 Android Development] Dave RL:
I'm awaiting the upgrade like everyone else so I flashed RC29 and have my phone plugged in at home and at work with "adb logcat" running so I can get the file name if I'm one of the lucky first few to get the update.

I noticed an interesting difference that I hope someone has an answer.

At home I have Ubuntu and at work I have XP. On ubuntu logcat keeps streaming new log events from the phone to the terminal but on XP's dos cmd window logcat does not update new log events to the screen.

I'm thinking this might be due to buffering? or USB driver differences?

Is there any way to get windows to behave like Linux ;) (at least from a adb logcat perspective)?
[G1 Android Development] Plastriq:
On Windows XP, it does keep streaming log events to the console for me :)
[G1 Android Development] Dave RL:
Do you have the full android SDK installed on XP or just the files for adb?
[G1 Android Development] boosted13b:
I am running the full SDK on VISTA and it is streaming new events.
[G1 Android Development] elmejor183:
I have also noticed that, i dont ever get the full log report, The report cuts off in the middle of a lines when command prompt window wont catch no more (i guess), and stops there. i only have the adb file in place (in win dir).

I have tried the other command, "adb status-window" and i get no stream of data at all. I do not know if that is a correct command to use for this but just want to put that out there.
[G1 Android Development] Plastriq:
Full SDK :)
[G1 Android Development] Dave RL:
Ok, I'll try installing the full SDK when I get a chance at work today and see if that makes a difference. :confused:
[G1 Android Development] aziwoqpd:
It sounds like it's being caused by this bug:

http://www.telesphoreo.org/pipermail/g1-hackers/2008-December/000191.html

although generally that bug only shows up in Vista. Basically whenever the adb server reads data from the phone faster than the program running on your computer can read it out (e.g. tons of logcat data), the adb server locks up. You can try doing an end-task on adb.exe to kill the server and then running a fixed version like http://lfx.org/~jperry/adb_fixed.rar , or if you don't trust Random Files By Strange People On The Internets, you can try running logcat immediately after the phone reboots (so the log will be very short, not triggering the bug) and then just leaving logcat running while you do testing.
[G1 Android Development] Dave RL:
I can confirm that this fixed the problem for me. I had to restart the G1 (brute force way to restart the daemon) and use the adb_fixed.exe binary.

Thanks aziwoqpd!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Shetlander:
Along my travels of reading thousands of posts in hundreds of threads I seem to remember reading about a tip to increase the viewable box size of SMS messages in touchflo.

Ive tried searching using all the keywords I can think of but have come up blank. I cant remeber if it was even in the Blackstone section.

Im using mun_rus's SMS zoom tool and if I get a large text message I cant always see it all.

Can anyone help please ?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mun_rus:
U are using mine mod for diamond:)) Coz of bigger screen resolution u getting cut bottom:) I'll make such mod for HD also
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Shetlander:
Yep, your mod works good but as you said it cuts the bottom off.

Is it possible to make it remeber the zoom settings so they stick?

Also gona use your Background4alltabs if/when you fix it to work with analogue clocks (Cant give up my big Xperia clock:rolleyes:).

In the \Windows folder, edit the file thread_sms.htm.

Look for a line that has the text Height=35. The 35 represents a height of 35 pixels.

You can increase the number as you like. For have three line the right value is 75.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] lew1984:
how can you edit the thread_sms.htm file? I found it but doesnt give me the option to edit!

I tried looking for it connected through my laptop but Windows folder is hidden and no matter what I do i cant seem to find it!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] berkut_g:
copy to sd with your mobile file explorer, edit from sd with windows , copy it back :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] lew1984:
yea tried that but it wont let me copy it back to the Windows folder!

the file in the Windows folder wont allow me to delete it either! hmmmm
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Shetlander:
Ive copied it to the SD card and my laptop and unless Im blind there appears to be nothing in it.

The file size is 851 Bytes. Is that right ?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] lew1984:
yea thats the file... i copied it onto my desktop, changed the file to open with Notepad and changed the height value to 75.

saved it, changed it back to open with IE then copied it back to SD then tried to replace the file with the existing one... but it wont allow me! :(
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] danum:
Same problem here, tried all ways. Installed Resco Explorer to get the result. SMS is now much more friendly, thanks for the tip lucarp78.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] yayayay:
Hell yeah! Thanks for the tip, exactly what I wanted. :D

Tip: Use Total Commander and edit the file from the mobile!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Shetlander:
When I copy it to my SD card with TC and open it, it opens in Opera and all I can see is a black bar across the top.

How did you edit it on your phone please?

What program did you use to edit it?

Thanks
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] metalican:
The easiest way is to use Total Commander. Select properties for the file and remove the Read-Only check. Then edit the file as mentioned earlier and save it. Set the Read-Only property again and reset.

If you want to copy the file to your PC and edit it there, remember to remove the Read-Only property before you copy it back again (either using explorer, Resco Explorer or TotalCommander) otherwise you are not allowed to overwrite it. Hope this help.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Shetlander:
Is there any chance someone would be kind enough to put up a copy of the thread-sms.htm file or cut & paste the contents in a thread.

I dont know how but Ive manage to mess mine up royally.

Thanks
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] yayayay:
I said I used Total Commander. Google it and download. Then look up where the file is in your windowsfolderand. Then you should manage the rest.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Shetlander:
I have Total Comander already installed. When I asked how did you edit it, I mean what program as it opens auomatically with Opera and shows nothing. I managed to get it open once in Notes and edit the line but that didnt seem to work.

I went back to the windows folder and now it comes up with an error. When I look at the file on my works pc there is only about the first 6/7 lines in the file?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] sidepa:
The clear up any confusion (because the previous guys who have posted haven't exactly been clear!)... if you simply "open" the file... by clicking or double clicking it... then it will simply "open" in a program designed to open that type of file.

As the file you're trying to edit is a webpage (.htm) then it will "open" in a program designed to "display" webpages... like Opera or IE!

You don't need to "open" the file.... you need to "edit" it.

In Total Commander, click the file once to highlight it, and then select "File" > "Edit" from the bottom menu of Total Commander.

If you've messed up your file... may I suggest you delete it from the Windows folder (using Total Commander).

It will look like it's doing something, but then the file will still be there... as when you delete a file that is originally stored in the ROM, it gets immediately replaced with the original from the ROM!

Then copy the file to your My Documents folder, click it to highlight it, click "File" > "Properties" from the bottom menu of Total Commander, and untick the "Read Only" attribute & click OK.

Edit as above, and click "File" > "Save".

Copy that file back to the Windows directory by clicking "File" > "Copy/Move", click "Tree", highlight "Windows", click "OK", click "Copy"... click "Overwrite" if prompted!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Shetlander:
Thanks Sidepa, thats exactly what I wanted to know. Im still getting to grips with TC but its thanks to the help of this community im slowly learning.

After all that though, it still hasnt solved the problem of increasing the text box size. It may be a manilla file that needs editing in mode9 maybe. Hopefully mun_rus will come up with something as hes gona look at getting his diamond app to work on the HD.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] danum:
Works for me in all input modes. Here is the modified file. Keep a copy of your original for safety then overwrite with this one.

Hello.

Well in October I have set the screen lock pattern just for fun and haven't used it till now. Now by an oversight I have activated the "Require pattern". Well to be honest I have no idea what my pattern was. :D Could someone tell me how to get rid of the pattern without wiping the phone or installing a backup with fastboot? I have root access and I would love to see a solution for my problem. :D

At the moment I have the screen timeout set to "never". :D

I'm looking forward reading your answers.

I am looking for a baclkup software that does a few specific things...

1: I, of course, want it to backup all the installed apps, all the registration info for the apps, all the email aettings, all the WiFi settings, and pretty much everything.

2: I want it to be a self executing backup file. And I want it to require no user interaction to restore, other than a tap on the backup file. I don't want any "are you sure" or "select which components to restore" or anything else. I just want to tap it once and it does the rest.

What I am trying to do here is I want to cook my own totally naked ROM. I then want to install all my apps, register and activate all my commercial apps, get my email set up, get my WiFi set up, have all my favorites, and get the ROM totally set up for everyday use. I then want to make a self executing backup file, and cook it into the ROM. and I want this self executing backup to run during the user customizations after a hard reset. So that way I can hard reset and my phone will be totally, 100% ready to go.

Anyone know of a good backup program that I can use for this? Commercial is fine, I don't mind paying.

Hi everyone.

I have downloaded and tried the diamond hologram-app on my HD and it works, but I guess I'm not the only one that finds the graphics and design of the app not that nice.

I remember seeing a demo somewhere on a hologram featuring a 3D game-like character that looks like it's standing on top of the screen.

Any one knows what this might be? I remember that it was demoed on some kind of smartphone handset.

Thanks.

I'm not sure if I am to laugh at your sarcastic joke or is it your ignorance! Anyways it is funny either way.

If it is a sarcastic joke: LOL

If it is your ignorance: LOL >>> FYI: that was a hoax video, the producers of the video were having fun. There is no such technology yet that can allow light to refract in midair without a medium (fog, screen). Thanks for the laugh, I truly don't mean to make fun of you at all but it is funny. Sorry.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Kizmet:
That was the illusion of holographic refraction, wasn't it? Looks interesting.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DrDistorzion:
Hmm.. I think it's you who don't understand, or is ignorant. First of all. I don't care if that video is a real app that looks that nice ore a fake one. I wasn't asking for that exact app, but something I saw that LOOKS LIKE that app.

The truth is that you CAN make an app that LOOKS lika a hologram, but exactly like it does in the video, the concept falls as you turn the phone too much sideways thus revealing that the thing is just graphics on the screen.

Maby you haveto realize what is possible with G-sensor and graphics before you start making such comments.

If that video is fake, it's a really good one because the graphics are never shown outside the screen. And if you suggest that it is a video played on the ihpone-screen, so bee it. But if it is, that allso means that it is totally possible to write an app that looks exactly that way that uses the G-sensor to change the viewing angle of the 3D-graphic-character. I've seen much worse where you really see that the graphics arn't actually displayed on the screen. This for example:
