Backups: has anyone experimented with the Backup Settings option in SPB MS3? Does it save files such as the .dat ones or just registry settings - menus and widgets?

Hi i'm searching for weather icons same as the htc touch series, i only found it in a complete theme. Can anybody help me. Thanx
[Windows Mobile Themes] keithdupont:
From my experience with it only saves spb settings. nothing to do with .dat files or manual reg changes.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Zepiii:
For me, it saved all my widget place and shortcut place on the lifestyle panel.

Also, my favourite contacts. But for exemple, i had changed the calendar for the thumbcal plugin... after reinstalling and restoring my backup, it wasn't there anymore.

How to get G-Alarm program instead of default alarm? Works BUT you won't be able to access to setting of Clock & Time. A solution to change the time HERE

- Install VJBrisk

- Go in Program files/Vijay555/vjbrisk

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

- rename this copy into clock.exe

- replace this new clock.exe into window/

- Go in G-alarm folder

- create a shortcut of G-alarm.exe

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

- Put this shortcut into /windows/

This could work for other applications ! List them :G-Alarm OK; Klaxon OK;

If you need back your original clock.exe, it's HERE

Am I the only one that can't rename, overwrite, delete or move "Windows/clock.exe"!? I've tried Resco file explorer, active sync and Total command but no luck...:(

Access denied...

I really would like to have G-alarm integrated in MS3.

.........help.....:o

Probably just me, being stupid as always…

I'm using latest original Swe rom on my Diamond.

I am blind as a bat. I cannot find anythign about SPB Backups. Can you point me to where that is at?

[EDIT]

I checked the manual, and it says "From teh SPB Options panel..." and has a picture, showing Backup Settings, Restore Settings etc.

But i cannot find that panel. From Pro screen for exampl, I click the lower right icon, and get these selections: Profiessional layout, Add Widget, Exit layour, Change Background, Calendar Options, and Show Today. Nothing about backup.

maybe my problem is figuring out where the Options panel is. The only place the Optoins Panel name is even used is in the page about backup.

[EDIT2]

OK. I finally found it. You have to go to Settings, then SPB Mobile Shell, Then hit the icon in the lower right corner.

then you change to new wallpaper normaly and use installcab again...if you like conserve the configuration that you made in new panel, before use unistallcab make one copy of key HomeScreen2 in HKLM \ Software \ Spb Software House 2 \ Spb Mobile Shell \ Widgets\HomeScreen2 and paste it after use installcab again.

[Windows Mobile Themes] boufa:
I don't think this has been posted, and it is a combination of other peoples ideas, so credit to them for doing most of the work.

I don't want a launcher that has all of my programs, many I only need occasional access to. The current 8 (or 9 if you add one) launcher screen includes at least 3 sections I will only rarely use... settings, tools and programs. Now I need them sometimes, but they collectively take up too much space. I personally want one for commonly used programs (NOT recently used necessarily), Games, and GPS/Geocaching/Map programs. It is tough to do this with only 1 existing "my shortcuts" option.

So here is what I did..

1) renamed My Shortcuts (Made it GPS Programs, but you can use anything you want)

2) Added the 9th group (see post #1)

3) Removed the "Programs" group, and added it to the Tools group. (you copy the entire key in .../root/ to a new key called Programs in .../root/Tools)

4) I deleted the main "programs" group and created a new one using the same process in step #2 (I actually just made edits to the existing key, but deleting and starting over is more fool proof.)

So now I have groups for..

Internet

Multimedia

Office (organizer renamed, and pocket office added)

GPS Programs

Software

Games

Tools

Settings

Messaging

I am thinking of moving Messaging (since it is all on the front page with the email, sms icons etc) and Settings groups into the Tools folder also. That would give me a total of 5 groups that I created and stored my programs as I wanted.

MS3 has way more editable options than first thought and way more than MS2.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Jiggs1337:
I'm not sure if this is the right place for my problem, but i think it is.

I can't find any mention of it on here, but on the official SPB forum, there is this thread about it http://www.spbclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24787

My problem is that new SMS and new eMails (and probably missed calls too) are not showing in the widgets. It shows as 0, no matter how many messages i have.

Also, i do not use outlook, i use a different account. This is fine in the lifestyle screen, as i can add a widget for any account, but on the professional screen, it seems to be outlook only. But more important is that I'd like to get the counter of unread messages to work.

(Also, I just wanted to suggest an RSS widget in case it has not yet been suggested)

Any ideas?

[Windows Mobile Themes] Nicaragüense:
once you edit all this, which just defines the buttons that will be present on this menu, you can finally edit the actual layout.. this obviously depends on the device resolution. in the case of the omnia, the 240x320 and 320x240 is the one we edit since we are only really dealing with the width and not height.. we start editing the part of the layout called "default"

" </Plugin>

- <Plugin Name="CallLog">

<BoundRect X="0" Y="0" Width="92" Height="50" />

<Rect Name="SelRect" X="44" Y="0" Width="48" Height="50" />

<Point Name="BkNormal" X="0" Y="50" />

<Point Name="BkSelect" X="0" Y="100" />

</Plugin>

- <Plugin Name="Favorites">

<BoundRect X="92" Y="0" Width="56" Height="50" />

<Rect Name="SelRect" X="0" Y="0" Width="56" Height="50" />

<Point Name="BkNormal" X="94" Y="50" />

<Point Name="BkSelect" X="94" Y="100" />

</Plugin>

- <Plugin Name="Contacts">

<BoundRect X="148" Y="0" Width="92" Height="50" />

<Rect Name="SelRect" X="0" Y="0" Width="48" Height="50" />

<Point Name="BkNormal" X="146" Y="50" />

<Point Name="BkSelect" X="146" Y="100" />

</Plugin>"

you'd have to replace the names with the ones your plugin is named.. In this case favorites will stay, since i am using it, but i will replace calllog and contacts with time weather and home, obviously i need to add one more, since there needs to be 4. I split my screen into 5 buttons, since I have 4 and the last one on the right is the menu button. depending on the size you made your icons and what not, this will be different, BUT for me, i made it easy and kept them at 48 wide.. soo...

" <BoundRect X="0" Y="0" Width="48" Height="50" />

<Rect Name="SelRect" X="0" Y="0" Width="48" Height="50" />

<Point Name="BkNormal" X="0" Y="50" />

<Point Name="BkSelect" X="0" Y="100" />"

for the first button on the left,

" <BoundRect X="48" Y="0" Width="48" Height="50" />

<Rect Name="SelRect" X="48" Y="0" Width="48" Height="50" />

<Point Name="BkNormal" X="48" Y="50" />

<Point Name="BkSelect" X="48" Y="100" />"

as the second button.

the x values for the next would have been 96 then 144..

after editing this you will edit the layout in landscape too..

You can add extra separators in between the buttons by adding more in the plugins section at the top, like separator4. then editing the "normal" layout.. and just adjusting the values..

I also replaced the close button, originally with the panels button and i just yanked the plugin code from the menubar.xml file and played with the settings. i hope this helps understand how to modify this a bit more..

After editing this menu file, remember to go back and edit the lockscreen, weather, favcontacts, and time xml files to use menubar file you just edited.

2 things

1 . forget abt renaming it , it dint work for me either.

So i just replaced the clock.exe file.

If u need the original file the link to download it is located in post 2 .

( i never miss it as i dont feel the need to change the time )

2. use total commander, it works better in replacing system files better than resco ( but navigating in TC is not very comfortable if u use HTC HD or any pure touch screen phone)

[Windows Mobile Themes] boufa:
One more piece of potentially worthless info, I however am using it. Below is a list of icon and their image # for registry editing. NOTE: If you change an icon on a widget that is also a group on your launcher screen it works a little funny. I have my launcher screen replicated via widgets on one page of my lifestyle screen. I use those widgets 90% of the time. I stat out of the launcher most of the time. Changing the image # to anything other than 0-7 will give you the "tools" icon on the launcher screen, and the correct icon on the widget.

I have not found a way in the registry to change the widget icon without changing the launcher icon.

Here's the list, do with it what you will. (Note also I am naming these icons based on my interpretation of what they are... I could be wrong, some of them are like ink blot tests)

101 Calender

102 Tasks

103 Notes

Before I do the rest, I am wondering if these are different for each phone. If someone could test them out, I will do more. Turns out they are in order, go to the spb menu customizer, this is the order they are listed in my phone.

Is there anyway to change the up/down gesture so that something else opens besides switching between the professional and lifestyle layouts? I would really like to be able to start on the lifestyle layout (being able to go left and right) and when I swipe up have the contact carousel open. I do know how to make it a hardware button but I think it would be better if I could replace the professional layout. If this is at all a possibility please let me know.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Nicaragüense:
NOt that i have figured out, but i'm not that savvy about all this either.. it would seem to me that it is written into the program itself. so certain behaviors are choosen by the type of page it is. That is decided in the values somewhere in the xml. they can be changed to make, for instance, the professional page behave like the lifestyle page, but then you get the menu from the lifestyle page instead of the one from the pro page(so you wont have the option to go to the lifestyle page, and a up/down swipe will bring you to the pro page again since its like that by default.The lifestyle page can be accessed from the panels/carousel still though.) .. maybe some will figure out how to change these setting eventually..
[Windows Mobile Themes] boufa:
There is a registry Key to change the pages that come up when you slide your finger up or down, like changing from pro to lifestyle. I currently have both my Home page (pro) and my Home2 page (lifestyle) pointing to the same page (lifestyle) and it works well for eliminating the pro home page. You get a brief flicker, but it is otherwise seamless.

As for anything else, I tried the same registry change with using the carousel, contact, and weather with either the lifestyle screen or as the pro screens. No good. None of them worked. i could flip to the, but I could not flip away.

Thankfully the start button brings up the launcher, our I would have been stuck with a screen I could not change, and no way to reset it (except hard reset)

Sorry.

Modaco took the time to write down how to add a 3rd button manually to the menubars in the Pro and Life panels, but also in the others

Make the menubar have multiple buttons and slide between those panels

[Windows Mobile Themes] MikeyD2:
any answers for this thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] Nicaragüense:
Yes, it is possible, but you need to edit various things.. first you would need to make a duplicate of the FavContacts.xml file, and save it as say.. favcontacts2.xml.

in the favcontacts2.xml file you need to edit the line called:

" <DialogObject Value="Spb.Data.FavContacts" />

<String Name="RegKey" Value="FavContacts2" />

<String Name="DefScript" Value="FavContactsInit" />"

this refers to the registry entry where it will save the info.. so you need to go to the registry and add that key too.. at HKLM/Software/Spb Software House 2/Spb Mobile Shell/Widgets

You will need to add a key called "FavContacts2" or whatever you named the above value.. (not the filename..) This tells the page where to store the widget info.. the same as how the lifestyle screen works.

This should take care of that. The thing now is that you need to make some menu edits if you need to add a button to the menu OR you need to make some changes to the existing menubarcontacts.xml so you can get the page to show up by sliding right.. or left... depends on how you edit..

To get spb to recognize your new favcontacts2.xml file as a layout you need to go into the registry and add a key in .. HKLM/Software/Spb Software House 2/Spb Mobile Shell/NowScreen/Layouts

There you need to make another key, maybe one called :FAVORITES2

copy the two strings from the :FAVORITES key, but change the values of the "Default" string to FavContacts2 and "FavContacts" String Normal should be "FavContacts2" Normal.

this should be all you need to edit the menu to get this page to be recognized. NOW all you have to do is edit the menubar files as mentioned in the previous pages.. i think post 583 and 584

remember that the new page would now be called :FAVORITES2, so when you add the plugin entries on the menubarcontacts.xml file, that is how you will refer to it.
