I'm using both and I install Phonatic themes AFTER mskip MS301 WidgetsproPlusExtras. Several things but not all affect mskip's. I notice widgets such as analog & digital clock are not affected by phonatic themes.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Phonatic:
This process replaces files in your Spb folder then resets Mobile Shell, without having to reset your phone.

If you use themes that don't accomodate Mskips widget pack then you won't have his widgets.

The themes that I uploaded all accomadate his widget pack. But I only made themes for qvga.

My themes do not affect, but do accomadate his MS301 Widgets Pro Plus Ultimate 061809. Along with a few other widget packs, I forgot who's packs I allowed. My main interest was making it work with Mskip's pack.

The differences between my layouts and Mskips layout are that some themes include the battery on the home page. Some themes use the time page for the Night weather forecast, some have full page weather pics on home screen or weather page, some have different backgrounds on pages, different homescreen clocks etc...

I uploaded my themes to share the files for the features mentioned above. And to also give qvga users theme options without losing Mskips widgets.

Hopefully someone will make themes for other resolutions.

I did what I could with the little time that I have.

For people that don't have a qvga device, but want to try/test the method, use it to just change your background. Put your various qa_fondotela.dat files in seperate folders, and use the method to switch between them.

Emulation ROM

All ;)

For those who want to test without typing on their phone, it's a simple another way!

Download Microsoft WM6.1 ROM ( http://www.microsoft.com/DOWNLOADS/...a8-1dd7-426f-a913-4f370a65a582&displaylang=en ), install it on your PC, launch it.

Map a drive (recognized as Storage card in the file explorer) and click on the application you want to be installed.

I have just tested this evening a few hours, and it works great!

Mobile Shell and Mskip widgents work perfectly (except the space between lower icons where it's impossible to put widgets).

So, it's now possible to tests all widgets and programs without the risk of locking the phone, no more soft/hard resets, no high battery drain etc.

All resolutions are available, but not WVGA :(

Not really as a few days ago Mskid told us that he had no way to test its creations ;)

It's a way to test many things (as wallpapers as I'm testing right now)

Searched the thread for a solution to my problem but haven't had any success.

Just wondering whether I could change the 'Launcher' icon on the bottom bar to say 'Menu' instead?

Looked through the registry but changing the Launcher name doesn't seem to work.

Any help would be great, thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] pierjan2776:
I think that the icon includes the text too. So, you must change the icon too :(

Please HELP, will gladly make donation

I have an HTC TP with WM 6.5, mobile shell 3.0.1 and MS widgets from 530. I added MS 301 pro plus ultimate 62309 version but it gave me no add widget button and a few other things didnt work so I reverted back to the older version of widgets plus. - This problem might have started then:

For some reason, everytime my phone comes on, it is in messaging (usually SMS). even if i close out of it, or end the task and put my phone down, when I go to pick it up again its either in my gmail or my SMS list.

THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY.

If someone can tell me what to do to fix this I will gladly donate to your account, buy you a scotch, whatever! I have a lot of cabs on my phone but none recently and this has been going on about a week.

[Windows Mobile Themes] dieterpapa:
Hi all,

installed yesterday the

WIDGETS PRO PLUS 'BASIC' AND 'ULTIMATE' FOR SPB MOBILE SHELL 3.01 FINAL (VGA AND WVGA ONLY) 26TH JUNE 2009.

In the carousel I have now the task manager and connection manager screen.

However both screens in the "carousel view" are just a black rectangle, when opening connection manager the manager comes up and is working. Touching the task manager rectangle makes nothing to happen.

Who can tell me where to find a solution ?

My device is a X7510 with Win Mob 6.1

Dieter
[Windows Mobile Themes] Batistian:
If there are no applications running in the background, task manager will be empty.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
For starters you only need to install one of the cabs. If you only want the basic widgets then install the basic version, if you want all the bells and whistles then ONLY install the Ultimate version.

You should install Pro Plus on a Clean version of Mobile Shell 3.0.1 so I would recommend uninstalling Pro Plus and Mobile Shell, then soft reset your device and reinstall Mobile Shell and then the version of Pro Plus that you want to use. After that all the screens should work fine but if they dont then maybe its a compatability problem with your device and you can delete the panels that arent working correctly in the registry. If the screens still arent working then let me know.
[Windows Mobile Themes] pierjan2776:
Pleased to read you Mskip!

You have made a really great stuff, all your widgets and icons are really nice!

But just a question: I would like to change the contact icon and make it bigger.

Where is it? I can't find it!

I would like to make the same for my Igo icon.

How can I link any icon to any program?

I suppose it's in the registry, no?

Thanks ;)

Pierre
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
The problem you had with the menu buttons missing is because Pro Plus NEEDS to be installed on a fresh version of Mobile Shell as stated in the post. Uninstalling Pro Plus and Mobile Shell, soft resetting and reinstalling both will fix that problem.

Im not sure about your sceond problem, is it related to Mobile Shell running or does it still do the same thing with it uninstalled?

I would advise uninstalling Mobile Shell and anything related to it then soft reset and see if you still get the sms screen coming up randomly. If you have a dedicated sms button then check that its not pushed in constantly. If none of that works then try a Hard Reset. If that doesnt fix it then the problem is Hardware related.

Imarche Pack Version 4.1.3v3.3

I'm still having no success with this pack and also his other two. Would it please be possible for someone to make a cab to install his packs"?

I've checked every other forum I can find and have had no luck. Has antone been able to make them work? Some kind of reply would be appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Themes] nmhusa:
Ran into the same problem with the new version of Pro Plus. It worked on a previous version of Pro Plus. The reason I reinstalled was due to a ROM upgrade to the latest Mighty 6.5. Is it possible something in the rom is messing with SPB installation files. The problem I ran into was the inability to see the Add file/app buttons on the bottom bar when the right button is selected in Multimedia, Internet etc icons in the Launcher screen.
[Windows Mobile Themes] MACkjam:
OK, I have been using iMarche's skins for some time now. He actually has very clear instructions on his web site on how to install this. Firstly it is important to download the zip archive of the right resolution. Secondly you have to ensure that you download the right version for your Spb Mobile Shell version. The latest is v4.1.3 for Spb MS v3.x.

Assuming that you have the right version and resolution, then you merely copy the SpbMobileShellSkins.zip file to your storage card root and unzip it in your storage card root as well. You can later delete the .zip archive.

Then go to the SpbMobileShellSkins>Scripts and run the Install_QVGA.mscr file if your device is QVGA. Then just follow the prompts and it will install everything itself. Then it will ask you what language & theme you want, folder icons, messaging icons, clock type, weather etc etc etc until it is completed. Then it will restart Spb Mobile Shell and then you can modify anything you want by going to the Tools folder and clicking on Skins v4.1 icon. VOILA, it's that simple. Just shout if you run into any snags.

hi..

how to i change my Carousel to tile view?..

cant seem to find a solution to this..
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
If you mean the panels thats accessed from the bottom left button then simply click on the carousel button and then press the menu button (bottom right) and click on Tiles View.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kenziesgrandma:
Thanks MACkjam for your reply, I was beginning to think everyone was ignoring me. I already have the 4.1.3 version up and running, you're right it was quite easy to install. The one I was having trouble with was tom33's addons from the first page of this thread. I've been beating my head against a brick wall for at least a week now and all of a sudden I finally got it. I downloaded a different unzip program that seems to work better for .rar files. Then it took some trial and error to get it into the right place on my phone but the last time it worked, the new backgrounds etc. were all in with the original Kyro and Luna files and installed just fine. They're great, I'm really happy with them.

I really appreciate you taking the time to try to help me.

Thanks

[Windows Mobile Themes] dieterpapa:
Thanks for the answers regarding my problem.

I installed the ultimate version only immediately after installing SPB. I had applications running but got a "black" screen.

However I'll test again - I have to exchange my device due to warranty reasons. Will try again when I have my new device set up.

Quick questions:

1- I try to use the "Calendar plus (small)"; but i am not sure what it does. If I at least got this right, it displays the current day's meetings. But, how many meetings can it show, how many lines are allowed? I feel it is only a couple of items, which is kind of not enough.

If it is the case, could you make one that has up to 4 or 5 lines, so that in most cases all of today's items can be displayed ?

2- Where can I find colour themes for MS3? I am talking of the basic options that include like 10 different colours. Can one add some? Can we download additional colours ?

"Launcher" Favorites - from 3 across to 5?

I've been looking through the qa_layouts but can't figure out which .xml file does this, I know that the number of icons across can be changed from 3 to 5, does anyone know what I need to change? Or at least which file sets that?

Thanks

EDIT: I have the 0626 Ultimate installed... If I open the Launcher directly (using the widget from Applications / SPB Menus), the "Favorites" icons are 3 across (with text). If I switch over to the SPB Menu (right icon) then back to the Favorites / Recently Used, they're five across.

If I open the Launcher from the Professional screen (bottom left on menu bar), they show five across on Favorites.

So how do I get the Launcher widget on the Lifestyle screen to not show 3 across when I open it? Feel retarded right now...

[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
I assume you mean from the Carousel Screen?

You need to run a registry editor on your device and goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Spb Software House 2\Spb Mobile Shell\NowScreen\Panels.

Look in each numbered folder which corresponds to a different panel and delete the folder of the ones you dont want.

Hi, I'm new to the forum. I have been looking all over the place for a few solutions to things that would make my omnia the perfect phone (at least for me). If anyone could point me in the right direction on any of the the following, it would be greatly appreciated. No such luck on Howardforums or Modaco.

I am running:

Omnia i910 with a Wozzers WM6.5 Lite Rom, SPB Mobile Shell 3, Resco Contact Manager 2 and Vito SMS-Chat.

I am looking for:

A way to get RCM2 to replace all SPB Contact links (including call log and the contacts in the lifestyles menu next to the launcher).

A way to get Vito SMS to automatically come up when sending an SMS from within RCM2

A way to get my hotmail pushed to my phone (like a SMS or MMS)

For some reason, when I go to locate an address from RCM2, it goes to Google Maps on Opera, not the Google Maps application. If I go into the Google Maps App, and locate contacts, it works.

I messed around in the registry under SPB Software House 2 --> SPB Mobile Shell--> Links --> call log and a couple others, but with no such luck. Thanks in advance.

Greatest fluke ever?

I love mskip's widgets...but I also love mobilecustom's Sence theme because the widgets are really nice. Yesterday, I was reinstalling mskip's widgets because I missed those great transparent/invisible links. Well, then I had a thought that I might be able to recreate the mskip analog clock or other widgets as an mskip one (not sure how I was going to do this, but I wanted to try.

So, I reinstalled the MC Sence theme to start this process. To my great wonder and amazement, mskip's widgets were still there! So, I merged what I love about MC Sence and Mskip together (see screenshots).

I want to share my accidental wonder with anyone else who is interested. If you are, reply to this post and I will find a way to upload my MS program files folder as a zip...unless there is a better way. I can make cab's in sktools now, so that might work too.

[Windows Mobile Themes] Anakha56:
So let me get this straight, you had spb shell (obviously) then installed mskips pack then installed Sence? Of all the "themes" for spb shell I prefer mskips way but as you said the Sence has some nice stuff going for it as well.
[Windows Mobile Themes] natefish:
Well, turns out it really was the fluke of flukes. I soft resetted (which I had done before, but without the fluke unchanging) and it went back to the normal method of not sharing equally. So, no more double-dipping. You're right that mskip's stuff is way better overall, which is why I'm going to try to mod a couple of the clocks in that set.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Anakha56:
Please share the clocks you mod :). I was hoping you had found something but thanks for the post back :).
[Windows Mobile Themes] Phonatic:
@natefish and Anakha56, You can make Sence and Mskip's widgets co-exist, along with other widget packs.

I have a few hours today. I will register @ that french site to download Sence. I will play with it and make it so it works along with Mskips widgets. I'll post my findings.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Lucas0511:
I installed the Sence theme over a MS installation with Mskip's VGA widgets, they co-exist very well.

Let me note for people searching this keyword the Bombyx MS editor is not compatible, it will overwrite the qa_layout.dat and wreck any theme like Sence.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Phonatic:
This is what I found. I installed MS, Sence, and Mskip. They work very well together. Except that Sence overwrites the calendar, and the number pad on the contact page. To fix it just load the original calendar.dat and menudial.dat files.

I reccomend that after installing Sence, unzip the qa_layout.dat and extract the WidgetsSence.xml.

After installing Mskip, insert WidgetsSence.xml into that qa_layout.dat file.

Bombyx will also co-exist with both widget sets.

Back-up the Mskip qa_layout mentioned above.

Install Bombyx, then overwrite the Bombyx qa_layout.dat file with the Mskip layout that you just backed up.

You'll have Bombyx functional on a Mskip layout that includes Sence widgets.

Its seems to be working very well. Just tested on a Hermes, Wizard, and Tilt.

I don't have time to see if you can have a Sence layout with Mskip widgets and Bombyx. I'm pretty sure it'll work, maybe with a little tweaking.

It's just that I prefer the Mskip layout over Sence. I will spend what little time I have left today to make a theme.:)

MetalMix Theme

QVGA

This theme incorporates a mixture of various metals.

It accomodates Mskip and Sence widgets.

To install just copy the .dat files into your phones Spb folder and let them overwrite the existing files.

If you want the Sence and Mskips widgets install those cabs first.

This can be added to my previous theme pack.

I've included the script to use as a theme changer.

If anyone is interested, I will adapt all my other themes to accomodate the Sence widgets.

See ya in a couple of weeks.

How to use 1 set of widgets in another pack (any resolution).

If you want to make a set of widgets available on any theme you need to do the following:

1. Install the pack that contains the widgets you want to use on a different pack.

2. You need to extract the custom widgets xml file from the qa_layouts.dat file of the pack that you want to use on your theme (I put mine in WidgetsPlus.xml but again each pack is different).

3. You need to extract the custom registry entries from HKLM, Software, Spb Software House 2, Spb Mobile Shell, WidgetList. I always put mine in folders 5 (mods) and 6 (widgets) but other people put them in different folder. If you export this from your phone then you can import it back when its time.

4. You need to extract the widgets themselves (copy the .dat files of the widgets you want) so you can copy them back to your prefered theme.

5. Now you can uninstall the first pack and install the cab of the theme you want to use.

6. Copy the widgets you extracted back into the Spb Mobile Shell folder.

7. Open the qa_layouts.dat file and put the custom widget xml file into it, zip it back up with the password b0fm18zq then put it back into your mobile shell folder.

8. Import the registry entries back into your device.

9. Restart Mobile Shell and all the widgets should be available in the list.

The regsitry entries are what makes the widgets come up in the list. If there are widgets that you dont want to copy across them just find the relevant registry entry and delete it so it doesnt show up in the list, then dont copy that widget across. This way you can save space if you need to. You dont have to worry about deleting anything in the xml file as it doesnt make any difference to the end result.

This will work for any resolution or any pack.

Note: I dont mind anyone putting my widgets into another pack for their own personal use. What I have issues with is when people make packs up, then just incorporate all my widgets into their pack and publish it. Please respect publishers work and the weeks or months they spent creating it :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Phonatic:
Mskip, I'm just double checking that my pack is okay with you.
