FAQ : Frequently Asked Questions

Where do i get the SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 Manual?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4636640&postcount=21

I saw the following taskbar several times, is it something from SPB Mobile Shell 3?

No, but check < THIS >

When i rotate screen, icons aren't correctly rearranged, is it a bug?

Actually it's not a bug! This is the normal behaviour of MS3 when changing orientation. After rotating to landscape, you can arrange your icons in the way you want, and this layout will be saved as a separate landscape layout. Whenever you make changes to one of the two orientations, they will apply to both ones, but you may need to rearrange the icons to show properly.

I love a theme, but it isn't in my langage.

Settings/Spb Mobile Shell/System/Language

Mobile Shell is internationnal

Hi, I know it already has been mentionned on xda or spbclub, but I have an issue on my Touch Pro 2 : I'm on WM 6.5, Tom Rom's 23053 OS, with the big bottom bar (buttons are larger). Then, the bottom bar is always over the bottom bar of SPB mobile Shell 3.5, I can't really use it.

Any suggestion ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] adioph:
I mean, the preview will be available just like on the titanium of wm6.5.

Well... I'm afraid SPB get the weather from a weather site some were on the net. There could not be a detailed info for Every city in the world. That's not SPB fault. You should get detailed info for a near major city around, as the weather conditions should not be very different.

Anyone can tell me how to put 3 buttons instead of 2 like in the screen?

[Windows Mobile Themes] jgjackson:
Are you familiar with hacking qa_layouts.dat at all? See my qa_layouts.dat posted above. To pull out just that one change, get the MenuBar.xml out of that zip file and put it into yours. The center button on mine takes you to the today screen. You'll have to search around in the SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 thread for instructions on how to make it do other things as well as instructions on how to extract and replace files in qa_layouts.dat.

hi every one, how can i add a 9 button (with icon) on the launcher panel?, thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] gadgetguy08:
I modified your 3.01 layouts and am trying to do the same with this 3.5 work. In particular I wanted to use Task Manager for the center button. So I took your MenuBar.XML and changed:

<Plugin Class="Spb.LSP.MenuBar" Name="Btn2" ID="6">

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

<Int Name="GlobalIcon" Value="197"/>

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

<String Name="Action" Value="Today"/>

<Int Name="LeftBtn" Value="1"/>

</Plugin>

to this:

<Plugin Class="Spb.LSP.MenuBar" Name="Btn2" ID="6">

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

<Int Name="GlobalIcon" Value="124"/>

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

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

<Int Name="LeftBtn" Value="1"/>

</Plugin>

It appears on the screen properly, but doesn't execute anything. What did I miss?

Once you use it, the Online Catalog for Change Background stops working.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
For the task manager you also need to go into the registry (HKLM, Software, spb software house 2, spb mobile shell, nowscreen, layouts) and make a new key called :TASKMANAGER then inside that folder add the following STRING values:

(Default) = TaskManager

TaskManager = Normal

It should then open up the Task Manager.

another modifications by Nils

modifications to the Professional Status Icons QVGA

Basically Nils added some blue when the icon is inactive (no e-mail, no missed calls, no text, etc) and red when they are active. Made the phone look more like an Omnia .

He also replaced the voice mail icon since he said that he always hated that old cassette icon for voice mail .

[Windows Mobile Themes] rogermorse:
How did you get that status bar? I would also like it on my htc touch hd.

Anyway....no, both main memory and application memory is more than 100MB free.

And I have seen on youtube many touch hd (1) running the same version of spb much much smoother than me. Why is that? The processor is the same, so it's not a processor thing.
[Windows Mobile Themes] blamaster:
Thanks for the informations.

And can you tell me which xml file i have to edit if i change the size of the MenuBtns.bmp from the vp_bkg_now.dat ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] ArtieQ:
What do you mean with status bar? The bar on the bottom of the screen or the taskbar on the top?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
You can change them to other spb mobile shell screens but not to standard WM Programs. If you want your own links at the bottom then try my ProPlus Ultimate V2 theme the bottom area is completely blank and anything can be placed in there. Theres also some replacement menubar images to give it a nice look :)

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jug6ernaut:
Changing them to other ms3.5 pages is fine... how can i go about this?, i just find the carousel to be pointless xD.
[Windows Mobile Themes] rogermorse:
hmhmhm actually i was meaning the taskbar but the one at the bottom would also be nice.

At the moment i'm trying the trial of SPB and i pretty like it. At the bottom i have (from left to right). carousel button, launcher, contacts, options menu (the popup which lets you add widgets etc.).

My taskbar is the default WM taskbar.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ArtieQ:

Vostradamus Widgets 3.1

​

From now on, the version number will change

only

when there are updates to the Widgets Manager. All the other updates (as in new widgets libraries) will have only an update date without version number.

Also,

every time

a new Widgets Library will be released or an existing one will be updated, a new XML Definition File will be released too, so

be sure

to always have the latest one installed.

ChangeLog:

(01 Mar 2010)

Widgets Manager 3.1:

- Increased font size in menu lists

- “Cancel” button in Activate Widget submenu now takes back to the previous page instead of the beginning

- BugFix: Fixed an issue which prevented the correct activation of the first shown widget in every category

Widgets Libraries:

New Widget Library containing

- Digital Clocks pack Neon Small (white, blue, cyan, green, red, yellow) - (made on request)

- Digital Clocks pack Transparency Square/Circle 2 (black, cyan) - (made on request)

Widgets-wise this is not a big update, I know. I fulfilled a couple requests and took the chance also to test the adding of new libraries to the Widgets Manager.

Vostradamus,

would it be a challenge to create a location based weather widget? you know, like in Manila, automatically adjusting to your current location, without need for manually adjusting the settings ...

This is my missing feature (I travel a lot) and would really make MS the PERFECT replacement!

and once again bless you for the functionality of your Narrow Calendar :-) !!!

brgds,
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
Mmmh.... I fear I don't see it too feasable... :( the weather widgets (both mobile shell and spb weather) does not have that funcionality, and I would not know where to get the data from, where to access the weather software settings, where to access weather software location database and so on... :(

(love the narrow calendar too, would not know where to put all the stuff I have on my main page if I was to use the standard huge one) :p

slow...

Hi everyone, i removed the buttons on the bottom bar and i replaced them with custom icons...

Than i've just tried the trick in this post:

xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4294669&postcount=3646

to create a link to a panel and it works quite well.

My only problem is that the result is really slow if compared to pushing the buttons on the bottom bar.The difference is notable, the windows "waiting icon" shows up and it takes something like 3 second to show the panel, while using the bottom bar the opening is almost instantaneous.

Is this normal?

Vostradamus Widgets 3.3

ChangeLog:

(04 Mar 2010) - Widgets Manager Only update, no new widgets libraries.

Widgets Manager 3.3:

- Added commands to create/remove additional Lifestyle-like panels

- Added command to edit number of pages for the additional panels

- Added Tool (in start – programs – vostradamus) to refresh mobile shell background ‘cause having additional panels make the “change background” act weird. If you use additional panels, to change your background you need to:

--- Select your new background as usual from the change background menu

--- Run the “Refresh Background” tool

--- Mobile Shell will be restarted with the new background

There's an answer out there for this. I was able to remap my bottom left icon to the contacts list.

I will do some searching for you.

I believe the most important thing is using the encryption password to unzip the .dat file, edit the xml file THEN RE-Encrypt the xml file and zip it back into the dat file.

I use winzip for this. the trial version with the nag screen will do it.
