Please help Mskip

MsKip,

I have been using your s programs w/ spb and I have always upgraded to your new versions. Sometimes I don't uninstall the old version.

I had to reset my phone and cannot find on my storage card the version I was using. I had three options at the bottom with the calendar in the middle. I also had the "pro" version which let me put up a small email, small sms, small voicemail and small missed call logo at the bottom (see screen shot).

Can you direct me to a link to download whatever version I need?

I install certain cabs but even when I see the email pro widgets listed, when I try to add it nothing shows up. PLEASE HELP

Remapping the "home" button in Task Manager to Pro Home

Great work mskip...

I do have one question however: When using the WidgetProPlus QVGA on my Omnia, once in the Task Manager, when I selct the "Home" button it always takes me to the Lifestyle home screen even if my default is the Professional layout. Is there a way to make the "Home" button always take me to the Professional home screen?

Thanks in advance!

Error using ShellExtension v1.2.0 or 1.2.2

This is on an AT&T Fuze (Touch Pro) running one of NRG's custom ROMs.

* I've confirmed that the qa_layouts.dat file does exist in that location.

* I do have .net 3.5 installed.

* I've tried running ShellExtension from storage card as well as in the root of the device.

* I've tried existing Mobile Shell to make sure the .dat file wasn't somehow in use.

* I've tried resetting my device to insure nothing else was blocking the .dat file.

I'm out of ideas at this point.

Hexagon Honey comb icons

Hello, is there any widget with Hexagon ( honeycomb ) of windows mobile 6.5, like widget clear buttom in mskip (to put the icons back )?

@ALL : I have no idea why the thread was closed this afternoon... If the mod that did that could pm me and explain me why, it would be friendly !

Let's work on SPB Mobile Shell 3 again ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
The Mod I talked to today about it to get the thread reopened said it was a mistake I guess he either thought it was a different thread or meant to select the *give this thread a Gold Star* button and clicked the wrong one :P
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Copy your qa_layouts.dat file to your pc, rename it to .zip and open it with winzip using the password b0fm18zq. Then edit the file called MenuBarH.xml and find the following section:

<Plugin Class="Spb.LSP.MenuBar" Name="Btn0" ID="1"

<String Name="Backgrd" Value="MenuBackgrd"/>

<Int Name="GlobalIcon" Value="198"/>

<String Name="Text" Value=""/>

<String Name="Open" Value=":HOME2"/>

</Plugin>

Change :HOME2 (lifestyle screen) to :HOME (professional screen) then save the file and exit.

Zip all the files back up using the password b0fm18zq, rename the file to qa_layouts.dat and copy the new qa_layouts.dat file back to your device.

Soft reset or restart Mobile Shell and the home button will now open the Professional Screen.

Note that this will affect all the menubars that have 2 buttons at the bottom (Home and Favorites).

[Windows Mobile Themes] NLWaard:
Try ShellExtension version 1.3.0:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] NLWaard:
Does SPB Shell Read the file?

Did ShellExtension make the BackUp file (qa_layouts_Bup.dat)?

Is it possible to sent me your qa_layouts.dat file??

Can you make screen shots of the error message???
[Windows Mobile Themes] NLWaard:
:)Please try version 1.3.0. and let me know your findings...
[Windows Mobile Themes] AlienHairball:
It doesn't seem I can send attachments in a private message, but attached here is a screenshot showing the error in the new v1.3.0 after I press the "Edit menu buttons..." option. I've also tried to attach my qa_layouts.dat file (we'll see if the forums allow it.)

And no, there was no backup file named qa_layouts_Bup.dat created.

There is however another backup file called qa_layouts.dat.1245367117.bak but that's as much as I know. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] NLWaard:
When installing you qa_layouts.dat I get the same error...:mad:

When opening while debugging i get the error that the file is not a zip???

Please download the original qa_layouts.dat file from the first page on this tread? Its in the ZIP so unzip and than copy the .dat file. Do not rename the .zip to .dat.... and try again. Please let me know whats hapening?

Please try with shellextension ver 1.2.2 ..

Hi guys, it was me who closed the thread yesterday..

Nothing sinister, an accident!

I was browsing the dev&hacking forum on my Fuze, and stuck it in my pocket without sleeping it... left home, drove around a bit, apparently my pants dont like this thread, as they locked it! LOL

Fixed it as soon as I found out about it, sorry!
[Windows Mobile Themes] AlienHairball:
Using the original qa_layouts.dat file with 1.3.0 works correctly. The one thing that was "lost" in going to the original .dat file was my clock widget that I got from a cab file that essentially gives access to the clock on the pro screen. I suspect that's what tweaked the .dat file and caused the conflict with ShellExtension. I totally forgot I had installed that! :o

Thanks for your help. :) Now I'll actually go test it and see how it goes.

I'm sure the Clock widget is not conflicting with ShellExtension. It was the Zip file himself??

If you want to you can put in the Clock.xml in the qa_layouts very easy with ShellExtension.:)

In the map with qa_layouts.dat there is a sub map ZipToDat. Place your clock.xml in that map and start ShellExtension. On the first page push restart and confirm.

Software: Shell Extension 1.2.2 // Bug?

Hi,

great app!

I got it to crash - I first removed all carousel screens (now they are all gone). When I try to add a new one the program crashes.

Can you reproduce it? Do you need more details on the error msg?

best regards,

Christoph
[Windows Mobile Themes] AlienHairball:
Hmm ok after using ShellExtension and really just playing around I now have 4 lifestyle screens, but I'd like to go back to the default 3 screens. How do we do this?

I've tried copying in the original qa_layouts.dat file, but that didn't make a difference.
[Windows Mobile Themes] NLWaard:
Sounds like you are proud on it... LOL:)

Sorry i can't reproduce the problem. First I removed all the carouselscreens.

Left the program. checked if there are no screens in spb carousel. Start ShellExtension again an add 5 screens. without any problems..

Need more info please:

Did you manually edit the registry keys?

do you have screenshots??
[Windows Mobile Themes] NLWaard:
see version 1.3.1. add button for 3 screens.... at post #3792:)

No problems when playing with ShellExtension.

What type of screen do you have VGA or QVGA?
[Windows Mobile Themes] AlienHairball:
Perfect! I'm back to the basic 3 screens and happy hehe.

My device is VGA and I know of at least one way to crash ShellExtension every time.

1. Run ShellExtension version 1.3.0 or 1.3.1

2. Edit menu buttons...

3. Edit button assignment...

4. Error: "Value can not be null"

But now in trying to reproduce it one more time to be certain I'm getting a new error:

1. Run ShellExtension version 1.3.0 or 1.3.1

2. Edit menu buttons...

3. Error: "The password did not match."

I'll try a soft-reset and see if that clears it.

EDIT: the soft-reset did not help. I can no longer edit the menu buttons in v1.3.0 or 1.3.1, but I can in v1.2.0 - odd!
[Windows Mobile Themes] NLWaard:
Thanks, I can reproduce the bug...

Temp work around... select "Number of menu buttons" first. then "edit menu functions".

When selecting “Edit menu functions” first, the corresponding XML is not loaded.
[Windows Mobile Themes] nmhusa:
I installed Sence over mskips Mobile shell and all the original widgets were still available from mskip as well as the new skin from sence !
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
You might be able to see the widgets but can you actually select them, get them to show up on the screen and then arrange them?

Sence 2 would have its own qa_layouts file which would delete the main widgetsplus.xml file and render them useless.

Perhaps someone can confirm that.
[Windows Mobile Themes] AlienHairball:
Yep that's the what I was doing to work around the problem as well and I should have posted the work around at with the bug report. :o

I'm still stuck with the 1.3.x series not working at all for the menu buttons now. I get that error "The password did not match." every time. :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] NLWaard:
I can't reproduce???:mad:

Can you manually open then Lockscreen.xml and Lockscreen2.xml from the Layouts.dat file??? Is the spb working correctly (after restart)?

Did you restore the Backup file?
[Windows Mobile Themes] AlienHairball:
How bizarre! Ok here's what I found out. I opened qa_layouts.dat and found I could open any .xml file in there with the "b0fm18zq" password *except* for Lockscreen.xml and Lockscreen2.xml - they said I didn't have the right password. Next I restored the backup layouts file and that works correctly with no more error.

So I'm fairly certain the one thing that keeps causing issues is the .cab file found in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3681308&postcount=112

I'm going to try a different cab file to enable the pro clocks found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3687862&postcount=242

We'll see if that plays nice with ShellExtension. :)

Update: Nope, using that other cab to enable the pro clocks I get the same problem. Whatever they are doing is changing the password on the Lockscreen* files which then breaks ShellExtension. How annoying!

I'm not all that attached to those pro screen clocks so if there is some other decent digital clock option out there I'd gladly switch. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] NLWaard:
Version Update ShellExtension to 1.3.2 Minor bug's fixes (including this one, Thanks to AlienHairball) Still test version...
[Windows Mobile Themes] NLWaard:
I downloaded this version to find out what the problem is. I extracted the CAB manually, and copied the layouts.dat to my PDA and guess what it works. No reporting of prob with passwords.... Also no problems after installing the cab???? ShellExtension works like a sharm, sorry... I do not get the ProClock, becourse, I do not have VGA...

But beside that it all works. Try a new download...
[Windows Mobile Themes] AlienHairball:
After installing the pro clocks cab try a soft-reset. I always have to do that or at least restart Mobile Shell in order for the new clocks to show up. I know you said you don't have vga, but give that a quick try just to see if it makes a difference. :confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] Tilt ommarow:
Can you please explain how to extract a CAB maually? I've never worked with cab files, aside from installing them. TIA
[Windows Mobile Themes] NLWaard:
In Windows Vista click on the CAB file (it's a sort of zip) or open it in a zip extractor. (I am now using Vista, i can't rem. withs editor i used in the past)

In the CAB there is a setup.xml open the XML and you see the original names of the zipped files and where to extract them (by coping) rename them with the names you found in the xml. The last rows in the xml are the registry settings. With a remote regeditor you can put those rules in you Reg.. Thats all there is.. no rocket science..;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] NLWaard:
I already removed the CAB and settings sorry.

I am not interested in the Clock. I just tried it, to help you..

How to get G-Alarm program instead of default alarm.

Apologies, I'm having issues getting this to work and am trying to work out why...

- Install VJBrisk - Install to device or storage card?

- Go in Program files/Vijay555/vjbrisk

- Inside this folder, there are VJBrisk.exe, make a copy of it.

- rename this copy into clock.exe - rename to "clock.exe" OR "clockexe.exe"?

- replace this new clock.exe into window/ - To do this, do I need to install VJBrisk version 4.1?

- Go in G-alarm folder

- create a shortcut of G-alarm.exe - Can shortcuts be created from within Trinity or do I have to do it via active sync on my pc desktop?

- rename it in clocklnk (don't forget the lnk at the end. : clocklnk.lnk)

- Put this shortcut into /windows/ - "Put" it in or "copy" it into?

At present I have G-alarm installed onto my storage card, incase that makes any difference...

Hopefully one of these questions will help me solve what I am doing wrong!?

Thanks,

How to get G-Alarm program instead of default alarm.

I'm still having issues getting this to work and am trying to work out why...

After following the VJBrisk instructions, when I click on the lifestyle alarm link I get the message:

Couldn't find "clockLNK.lnk" or clockEXE.exe" in the launch directory: "\Windows" Command Line: "

If I change the "clock.exe" I placed in windows to "clockEXE.exe" I get windows clock and alarm settings appear, with the text "Don't touch me, I'm a dummy!" appearing infront of the alarm I set on G-alarm. However, G-alarm is not launched.

I presume the supposed outcome of the changes are that by clicking on the alarm link, the G-alarm interface appears automatically, no?

Maybe someone else has seen what I am seeing and recognises what I am doing wrong?

It's not a massive issue, just one I'd like to work out.

Thanks,

Individual wallparers on lifestyle pages?

Hi, could not find an answer when I search the thread so here is the question: I run QVGA and have installed MS 301 and Mskips widgets and I want to have individual background on each lifestyle page (I have 7). I can see that the default background size is 480*800 and this background is used for all 7 pages. Is it possible to have each page pointing to a 240*320 background file?

[Windows Mobile Themes] k1sr:
I tried VJBrisk originally, but it meant I could not actually access the original clock function anymore, so changing things like daylight savings (for example) became a real chore... My advice - simply use an invisible application widget (from mskip or jgjackson) and put it on top of your alarm button, or somewhere else you find convenient.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Mattster_spv:
Hi K1sr.

Thanks for the reply. I've already got the G-alarm widget on my lifestyle page. Do you know if there is a way of linking an invisible widget directly to the G-alarm "alarm list" as opposed to having to wait for the G-alarm welcome page to load and open?

Hi.

Been using SPB MS3 for a few weeks now and im loving it ....

Managed to replace most of the TF3D functions (especially using S2V and S2P) but the one thing i cant replace is a slick calendar app.... something like the TF3D calendar that shows a month view and allows you to flick forward and back a month at a time ....

ideally with a link into outlook but im not that bothered....

anyone got any suggestions ? The Sense pictures show something that looks good but I hear that has no landscape option :confused:
