Most probably this might not be the case for me, as I am using miROM5 clean. Since I had loads of space on my device, I have installed ALL my cabs/apps/tweaks on the device. There is nothing on my storage apart from movies, music and pics. I still get the lab. Especially when I open 'All programs'. I have noticed this happening when I have left my phone on standy/sleep mode for a long time. If I am using it continuously, it does it less often!

hi i have TP2 before when i get call the light of the screen turn of know its stay what can i do thanx for help

How do you know this is related to Mobile Shell?

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ironhead65:
I've been trying to figure out what that even means.

I've got a TP2 as well...and from the text..."huh" is all I can think of.

--Ironhead:eek:
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
I 'think' they meant that when they get a call the screen turns off??

If not im stumped but im sure its not down the Mobile Shell lol :rolleyes:

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ironhead65:
That's a feature of the TP2 OS.

You can change that in the normal settings menus (I'll have to look for it). It was a configuration something like "turn screen off when you put the phone down". That is, if the light sensor is covered, turn the screen off during calls.

I think it was also a selection in Slide2Unlock2

Is there anyway to remove the SPB menu bar/launcher whatever, and replace it with the Windows menubar (that one bar that is shown on the bottom of the screen with the windows logo on the Today screen) yeah im kinda bad at explaining but i hope you get my point x.x

Change SPB call history to Resco

Hi,

is possible to change if I have missed calls and tap on the Icon to open in Resco callhistory?

There is possible only change the skin and I want to keep the icon from Mskip W7 skin.

Thank´s
[Windows Mobile Themes] ironhead65:
No...the point of SPB is to replace all that stuff.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ironhead65:
Yes, place the missed calls icon on the screen. Then create a shortcut to the program you want to run. Place that OVER top of the missed calls icon. Finally, change the shortcut to be an invisible icon (I think MSKIP has one in his package, although I know Vost has one in his MSM).

Problem with HTC TaskManager Icon on Spb Mobile Shell 3.5.5

I own 2 PPCs

- HTC Touch 3G with WM6.1 WWE Stock ROM+M2D1.0

- HTC Touch2 with WM6.5 WWE Stock ROM+M2D2.0

Both installed Stock MBS 3.5.5 without any extra Widgets.With the original

M2D(Touch Flo) TaskManager Icon appears on the top right corner of the screen

correctly.But after switching to MBS on only WM6.5,it disappear.With MBS on WM6.1 TaskManager Icon stll shows in the right position.How can I make it re-appear with WM6.5 on Touch2 ?

Thanks,Bhumdech S.

Widgets that don't show in selected skin

I am using 3.5.3 and Naongs Espresso. I would like to change the look (skin) of the digital clock for example. The skin menu shows many clocks to choose from, but only the ones from naong will work. All others (added with vostradamus) will appear in the list, but when I choose them nothing happens. What's wrong?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
1) you sure you got the right MsM libraries for your device? Check you got the right res library for your screen :)

2) did you by any chance install Naong

after

MsM? If so, then running the "restore xml" function from MsM could fix the issue
[Windows Mobile Themes] Exxonvaldez:
No, i had naong running for months. I just recently tripped over MsM. I remember i had a bad uninstall of mskip elegant before I found naong. Maybe there is a coherency.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
then double check the library version according to your device, and once you're 100% sure it's the right one try running the restore xml function and see if it gets any better :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] esedust:
when i go to the calendar the spb goes to the windows calendar and i want it to go to the samsung calendar in my omnia 2. I want it to do the same with other applications like clock and alarmas, use the samsung ones instead the windows ones. Is it possible?????

thanx
[Windows Mobile Themes] Exxonvaldez:
I tried the restore even though I was not sure if the library was correct. (I did that because i don't know where to find and how to check them). That screwed up my entire phone, it lost the Naong, got unresponsive, didn't let me answer calls, hung itself up.

Before the restoration i backed it up - now it's back to "normal", including the widget problem.

Any other idea?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
:eek: there must be something seriously weird on your phone (or in your mobile shell installation)... the restore xml function does nothing more than reinjecting MsM xml file into mobile shell... it does not touch anything else, especially stuff from other mods :confused:

The only thing I can think of now is:

- uninstall everything

- install a clean mobile shell

- now two choices:

Choice 1) install MsM first, test it, then install Naong. Chances are the MsM will stop working. At this point a restore xml should fix it. If it does not, then the only explanation I can think of is that somehow Naong stuff changes things deep into the shell making it not compatible with other mods (sounds kinda strange to me, but you never know)

or

Choice 2) install Naong first, test it, then install MsM. If MsM does not work then, like above, the only thing I can think of is that Naong making the shell somehow incompatible with other mods (still think it's strange though)

Best thing would be starting with a completely clean phone, but of I course I won't ask you to hard reset it just to test some mobile shell mods... so I guess you can try at least with a clean mobile shell installation.

Should the two mods in the end result somehow not compatible, you can decide to stick to Naong and give up on MsM, or you can give up on Naong and use MsM maybe even together with other stuff (i.e. mskip's mods which are cool and compatible with MsM for sure) :p

EDIT: about the library version... did you download the qvga or the vga one? What phone do you have?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Exxonvaldez:
I wouldn't mind a clean install if it was possible to restore Mobile Shell settings when using Naong. I tried that already. It did not work. I am too lazy to setup my Mobile Shell from scratch...

I'm going to keep the "Ugly" naong clock... ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Just install the attached cab to Device Memory and you will be able to backup your screen layouts and then restore them after you reinstall Mobile Shell. There are 4 backup slots so you can even have different sets of layouts and switch between them very easily and quickly. If you are going to flash a new Rom then select the 'Copy Backups to Storage Card' option and then copy them back to your device after so you dont lose your backup when the new Rom is flashed.

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Exxonvaldez:
Ok, I'm going to try this, even though I must say I have doubts. Still when I try to uninstall your elegance widgets my phone crashes and I have to remove the battery. Or if it doesn't crash it tells me it couldn't be uninstalled completely. Then it asks me if i want to delete it from the list and I click "ok" but it will stay.

I tried to uninstall and reinstall Mobile shell and Naong before. After reinstalling there still where widgets available which do not belong to Mobile shell or naong. I just cannot get rid of them. So annoying. I tried to delete all folders and all registry settings manually some time ago, but still that crap shows up.

30 minutes later:

Ok, I uninstalled everything, I deleted the folder, softreset, I installed Mobile shell and...

I still have some widgets like digital clock - "modern plus" which do not work but won't go away. How to tidy the the widgets? (MsM does not see the widgets either, so i cannot use it to deactivate tem.....)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
MsM sees only its own widgets, provided they're present in the currently imported libraries... it can't do anything to widgets coming form other mods, sorry :(

If you wanna be sure that no "spare" widgets will remain after uninstalling mobile shell, you should take a look in the registry in

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Spb Software House\Shared\Spb Menu\WidgetPackages

That's the place where the widgets definitions resides.... if after uninstalling mobile shell you still find stuff in there, that stuff will most probably be again visible once you reinstall it.... so you could just try to delete it before reinstalling the shell.

I'd also suggest, whenever you do something in the registry, to always export a backup before modifying/deleting anything.... just in case ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Exxonvaldez:
Thank you for your effort.

I'm now sure it's all a result of a bad uninstall of Mskips Widgets I installed a year ago and wasn't able to properly uninstall. When I delete the widgets from the registry I am able to uninstall Mskips widgets but when I start Mobile Shell I after that get 2 red "Error"s on the screen.

Case closed for me... Spent too much time on it already. :mad:
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
I'm afraid you got my suggestion wrong.... you should have uninstalled everything (mobile shell included)

first

, then delete the remaining spare parts inside that registry key, and then reinstall mobile shell from scratch....

If you delete the registry part with mobile shell widgets definition while mobile shell is still installed of course it will turn out to be messed up :p
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Elegance was a very early Theme in the ProPlus range and didnt uninstall because of the way Windows Mobile uninstalls cabs (it couldnt delete certain registry entrys properly resulting in a failed uninstall). These problems were all fixed with install/uninstall scripts which manually deleted all problem files and settings before the Microsoft uninstall took over. Not trying to defend my early work but there I have learned ALOT since the early days and there are no such problems in any of my newer themes (WP7, Freedom and Droid Pro+).

In my FAQ post for my early Themes I give exact instructions on how to get rid of a bad uninstall including as vostradamus mentioned deleting the registry entrys. I also stated that after getting rid of a bad uninstall you need to resintall Mobile Shell to get back a functional and clean program for you to use.

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Exxonvaldez:
Guys, I did all that.

I uninstalled everything first. I managed to get rid of the "old" widgets. (registry/ program folder). When I reinstall Mobile shell (update to 3.5.5) I still cannot change any widget skins (besides the skins delivered by Mobile shell itself). They show up in the list, but after choosing them nothing happens.

Ok, I could live with that. But I want the Espresso handling and install the Naong-skin. I want another background image too. After assigning the picture to the theme it starts to get buggy. The screen is split in 2 parts. The upper part is the desired picture, below is a black area with artifacts like text that's not scrolling. It's unusable.

btw. the mskip Mobile shell backup i created is also gone and so is the program itself.

Over and out.

SPB Weather Problem

For all peoples who have Weather Problem using the SPB Mobile SHell i mean if your City is not added or its added and you do not have Curent Weather Condition or anything other is wrong.. do not write in the forum: http://www.spbclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19884&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

Because i found out that Nobody from SPB cheked it anymore or maybe they chek it once a half year so i was totally ........... because half year of writing in the forum and my city was not fixed and i decide to write directly to the SPB support team via e-mail so after 4 hrs i wrote about that problem the Support from SPB fix the problem and added my city to have Curent Weather condition.

For all of you who have similar problem just write here: http://spb.com/pocketpc-software/mobileshell/other.html

Im sure they will fix it fast:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] MarkAtHome:
Hi tsalta -- please note that while your city will most likely be added, SPB's weather only gets updated if there is a GPRS/WiFi connection

already

open -- the program does not open a connection itself to update the weather, which is why you might see that it hasn't updated in awhile.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tsalta:
I think you do not understand me Of course you need to have a internet conection but the SPB have problem with the city database and many cityes do not have added curent weather condition so no matter what internet you have u never will be able to update the curent weather for that i reason i write here peoples who have the same problem to wirte directly to SPB support team and they will fix it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] MarkAtHome:
Yes, we might be crossing wires.

As I previously said, if your city is missing, SPB will likely add it for you. No disagreement there.

As for weather updating, having access to the internet, and having your phone actively online are two different things.

When out and about, I do not keep GPRS active unless I need it.

If I am sitting here at my PC with the phone in front of me, I am not accessing the internet with the phone, and I have the phone toggled on and GPRS toggled off.

SPB's weather modules (as confirmed by them) do not open an outside connection on their own to update weather; if the connection happens to already opened, the weather will use that open connection to update.

I hope it is a bit clearer on my end, this time... ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
That's easily solved with a small "trick" :)

- set spb weather to update every, say, 1 hour

- set your email to sync every, say, 30 minutes

- set your gprs connection to switch off after a couple mins of no usage

- spb weather will not open a gprs connection, but will "remember" if its update time has passed and will "stay alert" for active connections

- email sync can definitely open a gprs connection, and so it will be at its due time

- when spb weather will find the open connetion (opened by the mail sync), it will update :)

Used to do this back on my I8000, worked quite fine :)

(of course you can also use different time intervals, the 1 hour spb/30 mins mail is just what I was using)
[Windows Mobile Themes] MarkAtHome:
Unfortunately, Vostradamus, I do most things at my PC, so I have no need to automate email, etc. with my phone, as I do such things manually.

My reply was meant to be informative only, as the issue was reported, confirmed, and forgotten... :-)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
Actually I do the same :p Having the mail sync periodically on the phone was just to auto-check it the rare times I'm not at office or at home :D

Maybe the "trick" will be useful for someone else ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] tsalta:
Mark i think you dont understand me anyway i write how the peoples with problem can fix it

and this have nothing to do with the Internet conection and etc.. of course to update the weather u need conection BUT the situation here is some CITYes do not have Curent Weather and they don`t have it because the SPB team wrote a wrong source from where the Weather to be downloaded etc.. so you can try to update it 24 hrs with diferent conections IF is not fixed by them YOU CANNOT fix it by yourself for this reason u need to contact the SPB Support they to fix and write the right source for your City when you update the Weather you to have curent COndition also not only weather forecast for the week etc.

Im not noob and i know already i need internet to update the weather also i can make it to update auto and without to switch ON y internet GRPS or WiFi when i press update the SPB weather will turn it ON itself and will update without problem but this is other and i don`t wana spam the Thread here..

All peoples who have or know this problem with NO Curent Weather COndition know for what im talking about so just write to SPB and will be fixed very very fast for few hrs.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:

Hi. Maybe a little bit off topic but how do you toggle the GPRS/3G off? I mean, is there a cab that provides the switch on the homescreen? I know how to turn it off, using the program Data Controller, but it takes a few steps to achieve it.

[Q] Spb Mobile Shell 3.5.5 - Theme not working

Hi,

I have installed Spb Mobile Shell 3.5.5 on WM6.1 on HTC Touch (ELF) & using Onyx Micro ROM.

When I go to change theme, it doesn't change the theme leaving it to the default theme it came with. I just want to use plain "Black" theme that comes with Spb Mobile Shell 3.5.5.

I did a fresh install. Went to Launcher, Theme, Black or Gold or Maroon. Nothing happens.

Is there a way I can change some registry entry to force it to use the theme I want?

TA :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] drupad2drupad:

I am talking about the ones in RED circle - any way to remove those icons please?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Sorry I havent gotten back to you sooner im still quite bad with flu..

Some of the icons in the Spb Menu Screen can be deleted but others seem to be hardwired in as they dont disapear whatever you do.

Open a registry editor and goto HKLM, Software, Software House 2, Spb Mobile Shell, Menu, Root. To get rid of the Spb Links Icon delete the folder 'Menu Launchers'. To get rid of the My Shortcuts Icon delete the folder 'My Shortcuts'. You can try deleting others that you dont want, some might work and some may not.

Im afraid theres nothing you can do about the lag when sliding across to different pages with say links on. It was a major design flaw with Spb Mobile Shell 3.5 with the cache and I havent seen any way to fix it.
