MS3 Config v0.15 works perfectly on my device - I saw .16 and loved the new features and decided to install.

**BTW USING QVGA VERSION**

However I am met with an error when clicking on

JUST

the Images, Backgrounds, and Panels tabs...The Carousel, About, and Tweaks tabs work fine.

Device: Sprint HTC Titan with No2Chem's 6.5 Rom via PPCKitchen

NueKernel-3.01 build 109 *running in High Mem kernel mode (camera disabled)*

Rom Version: 3.08.66.1

Radio:3.42.02

Apps: MortScript V4.1

DotNetCFG -> 3.5.7283.0 and 2.0.7045.0 (ROM)

Unconfigured apps are set to run 3.5.7283

Steps took to Reproduce: Remove Applications=>SPB Mobile shell; Deleted \Program Files\SPB* => Soft Reset

Reinstalled SpbMobileShell3.arm.cab directly from spbsoftwarehouse.com => Launch MS3Config v0.16 =>

Error: an unexpected error has occured in MS3Config (Exact error as shown above)

Now, File->Options-> Advanced works ok with out issue. I can also backup. However hitting any tabs (Except those listed above) cause the error.

Contents of MS3C_Log.txt

MS3Config.MainForm..ctor()

{
MS3Config.DialogPanelListView.Populate()
{
MS3Config.PanelEditorCollection.set_Expanded(Boolean value)
{

}
}
}

I also tried to uninstall MS3 Config (and delete \prog files\ms3config\*) Then freshly install it again however I have the same issues.

If further debugging info is needed feel free to email me - contact info is up to date.

I really dig this app alot! This gives SPB Mobile so much more functionality.

Thanks for all your hard work.

Think we've been deserted on this one?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] infurnus:
No, I've personally contacted the developer - he has had some pc issues and is correcting them. He is fully aware of the issue and working on it when he can. Life happened :\
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] travis:
Thanks for that. It just seemed such a long time since the author was online.

Apologies to him. This tool has the potential to be a very nice addition to our devices.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Fantastic tool.

Could do with a graphic / layout overhaul (visually pleasing and easier to understand / use)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] money_711:
Has anybody gotten the background tab to work on their device where they can add there own background or is that the issue everyone is waiting to be resolve?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] johanromijn:
Just downloaded SPB Mobile shell from SPB site.

Never really used it, but I noticed that a new version is released today (actually the site says 30 sept.)

How to assign your own images to backgrounds.

1 - Open MS3 Config

2 - select the "Images" tab

3 - select and hold on an empty part of the screen

4 - select "Add"

5 - browse to the folder where your image is at and select it

6 - select the image from the bottom pane and hit OK on the top right

7 - select OK on the "Complete" notification

8 - your image should now show in the images tab

9 - go to the "Backgrounds" tab

10 - select and hold on an empty part of the screen

11 - select "Add background"

12 - select OK on the "Complete" notification

13 - the new background will show up with the default image

14 - select and hold on the newly added background

15 - select "Set images"

16 - select and hold on the desired image

17 - select one of the options (portrait or landscape)

18 - select OK on the top right

19 - the background will now show your selected image

20 - at this point you can go to the panels tab and assign it to the screens that you want it on

Hope this helps.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] infurnus:
It appears that the background and panel tab give different errors. Pasting variance here for dev.

SPB MS 3.5 Issues

Guys & Gals,

There seem to be quite a few issues with the new version of SPB Mobile Shell 3.5

You can read more here:

http://www.spbclub.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=48

From my experience, I'm on Mighty Rom 4 (Winmo 6.1) and after upgrading to SPB MS 3.5 from 3.01 I've had all sorts of issues.

- Battery life got cut in half

- MS3 Config doesn't work

- S2U2 acting weird

- Bluetooth shuts off at random

and a few others I'm still working on.

Just wanted to let everyone here know that it's not just this program being affected.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] trehouse:
I canceled right away after install as suggested by enTRAPAG, reset but still get the NULL REFERENCE EXCEPTION error.

Doesn' work on wm 6.1 and ms 3.5. Confirm !!

thanks and if you can help me......please

thanks gipsi
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] laurie9300:
Will there be any more development ???

I love this app and have been regularly using it on my Omnia. It is a credit to volDeus that it even works on MS3.5. I have not found another app that can achieve multiple backgrounds on Mobileshell. It would be a great waste if development of MSconfig was to stop. I would especially love an update that included the new carousel panels in MS3.5. Come on volDeus....where are you????
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] crazysane:
I was unable to use this program on my XV6800 with dcd 4.1.2 rom and Mskips ultimate addon. I look forward to the options this program has but for now was unable to make it work. Hope you have better luck in its success and please keep us informed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] guriga1234:
Me too. With SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 all OK, but with 3.5 only errors.

I installed this an it works gr8 but can u add backgrounds to it of my own pictures?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] enTRAPAG:
Funny, I upgraded to NRG's new ROM and I can't get it to work again either... :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] imdarkside:

I miss this software. It was working fine with 3.5 after upgrade from 3.0 but with a hard reset it quit working. Got the errors similar to previous posts. I tried reset several times and quit after installs and doesnt work. Might try to install 3.0 again and go that route.

^^ same here with my i900 :(

I so wanna use this MS3 Config app, and i've tried it all,

even tried all of the versions you've posted,

and i'm running a clean SPB Shell 3.5.3. with that Sense UI and a clean rom also,

but i can't seem to get rid of these errors,

as soon as i enter the Images or Bacground panels on the menu down,

it reports an error and the MS3 Config stops working :(

Read the whole topic but i can't seem to find the answer,

what am i doing wrong?! ..i so wanna use this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] siemi1:
Is ther any possibility to have it working on 3.5.3?

Any suggestions?

one more thing:

when I try to access tabs,that contains images I get error (screen 3 and 4)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] volDeus:
Sorry for disappearing ...

Just wanted to apologize to everyone for abandoning the thread without notice ... I can be a bit flaky at times :D

After a bad HD crash I have lost the source to MS3Config and I am still trying to get in touch with a friend who had a backup of an older version.

If I can recover my project source files I will either continue working on the App (depending on interest) or post the source.

In the meantime, if I can answer any questions that have been posted recently without actually having access to my own source, I will do so in the next few days.

Thank you all for your continued interest and support!!

Can MS3 Config remove the Calendar widget from the SPB Mobile Shell 3? :O
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kxrist:
I have the same problem with HTC Diamond
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] volDeus:
I'm sorry folks ... I still haven't been able to get ahold of the project source code and I can't really adress any problems until I do ... Haven't given up yet though.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] laurie9300:
Welcome Back

Nice to see you back volDeus. I truly hope you manage to recover your source code & continue to develop this marvelous app. By making different backgrounds on all screens available to MS users you achieved something that no one else was able to. I miss this functionality & hope that one day I can use this on MS3.5.........Thanks again
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] volDeus:
Thanks for your support laurie .. I've been hanging around in an old irc room trying to get in touch with a friend who hosted a SVN server for me where the source was sitting around ... I cant afford data recovery on my failed drive *curses Seagate* but I am thinking if there is enough demand, I might try to start over with a new config app for MS3.5 ... At the moment I am working on some stuff for Sense UI 2.5 (TouchFLO 3D/Manila) and anxiously awaiting MaxSense UI's release before I make a decision. The preview videos for MaxSense look really promising and if it runs much smoother than MS did on my new WVGA screen, i will be focusing on working with it instead. Time will tell.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mrkevo3000:
Im curious, what is the difference between this app and shell extension?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] volDeus:
I'm not farmiliar with "shell extension" ... do you have a link?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] usert:
Shell extension (can't change the background of the panels):

h t t p : / / xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4664016&postcount=285

This however seems to be more simular to your handywork (the backgroundchanger):

h t t p : / / xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=604146

I'm using that to change the background of the panels and it works with MS 3.5.3. on my HD.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] volDeus:
Both look like excellent pieces of software. The second one looks like it was probably inspired by my project ... Similar name, same function, and an almost identical GUI. (the only difference I see in his GUI is the wording he uses for some menu's and tab titles)

I am glad someone was able to pick up where I left off, I would suggest that anyone still following this thread go check out both of these pieces of software (especially the second).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] volDeus:
The problem has been fixed for now at least ... Download version 0.12 and change the path in "MS3C.xml"..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] volDeus:
6/8/9 - Features (v0.12):

1. Added settings file "MS3C.xml" to installation folder ... Directory paths that MS3Config will use can be set here..

2. New image browser.

For anyone that was having problems that may have been related to MS3 being installed in a folder other then the default .. You can now modify the folders used by opening "MS3C.xml" in a text editor and changing them.

Specifically changing "\Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell" in this area ..

<SpbMS3>

<Install>\Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell</Install>

</SpbMS3>

.. to the path that your copy of MS3 is installed in.

Make sure you restart MS3 Config for the change to take effect ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] numero2:
Hi volDeus, Thanks for PM

I downloaded the new version and added the changes to the MS3C.xml file. But now give me an error at startup and I do not even show the "about page" ...

I installed MS3 Confg v0.12 in my storage ... could be this the problem?

I tried with these 2 configurations:

1) change only Spb3 path

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<Settings>

<Paths>

<MS3Config>

<Install>\Program Files\MS3Config</Install>

<Images>\Program Files\MS3Config\Images</Images>

<Temp>\Program Files\MS3Config\temp</Temp>

</MS3Config>

<SpbMS3>

<Install>\Programmi\Spb Mobile Shell</Install>

</SpbMS3>

</Paths>

</Settings>

2) Change path spb3 and MS3Config

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<Settings>

<Paths>

<MS3Config>

<Install>\My Storage\Programmi\MS3Config</Install>

<Images>\My Storage\Programmi\MS3Config\Images</Images>

<Temp>\My Storage\Programmi\MS3Config\temp</Temp>

</MS3Config>

<SpbMS3>

<Install>\Programmi\Spb Mobile Shell</Install>

</SpbMS3>

</Paths>

</Settings>

MS3Config v0.11 at least allowed me to see the about screen :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] OTMOPO3OK:
I guess this app should be installed on the internal storage in order to avoid errors. First i tried to use it from the storage card and the app crashed every time i tried to select the <images> tab. But it seems to work ok from the internal memory =)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] OTMOPO3OK:
hmmm v0.12 crashes at the start. Dont even show default screen...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] volDeus:
I apolagize, I was in a rush last night to add the feature and I made a stupid mistake that I didn't realize until just now when I read the last few posts ... I'll fix in as soon as I get home in a few hours and re-upload..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peejay uk:
Hi VolDeus,

I have installed correctly and the app will start up. But when I activate the panels tab I persistently get an error at 40%.:mad:

I have MS3 installed in the default directory on a POLARIS (QVGA) running WM6.0 professional.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] volDeus:
What is the error you are seeing...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] volDeus:
Most of the problems should be solved now ...

Download v0.13 Now!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Siliconstar:
Bug?

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong, but the program doesn't work as expected.

I installed it on SD card, launched the program (v 0.13 finally works), selected a panel (Professional Home), selected an image (Primary->pict1.bmp), applied changes, restarted MS: Ok, background on the Pro Home has changed to pict1.Unfortunately I didn't like it so I decided to change picture.I restarted MS3Config, selected another image (primary->pict2.bmp), applied changes, restarted MS3: Oops! Background was still Pict1.I tried then to remove this backgroud (unselected panel, applied changes, restarted MS3: Ok, no more background on Pro Home), but every time I tried to change a background to another picture (also selecting different panels), the program applied always pict1, ignoring what was selected as primary in Image tab.:eek:

The first time I changed background, I saw the program displaying "Packing Images" (or something like that), while the following times it seems it processed only XML files.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] volDeus:
I'm looking into it now ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xjohnx:
has the scrolling problem been fixed in v.13 ???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] volDeus:
Not yet ... I have not been able to find a VGA copy of the Titanium theme to reproduce the problem..

Fixed!! sorry for the trouble :) ...

Download v0.14 Now!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Siliconstar:
Ok, it works fine now!

Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] volDeus:
Thank you! for your support... Stay tuned for updates and let me know if you have any more problems ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] volDeus:
I see what the problem is and I'll have it taken care of in the next update ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Siliconstar:
Since LifeStyle Panel is quite limited, I'm thinking of a custom panel editor.There are many plugin classes that don't work or display in a wrong way when used in this panel as widgets(frame, button, signal level, operator name, DigitalClock, SimpleBackgrd, Background work badly - Line, Rectangle, Text and others don't work at all).:mad:

The idea would be to create a custom panel and implement its XML code from scratch using an external graphic editor (your program seems a good starting point).:rolleyes:

This would allow to use all graphical elements actually included in MS3 panels and to fine tune their placement on the panel (actually on lifestyle there is an annoying grid step of 10 pixels that become 20 on VGA devices).

Let me know your opinion.:D

In the meantime, thank you again for this great work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] volDeus:
We can only hope I get it that far :cool: ...
