The only problem with starting in an Ultimate version which is completely stripped is that you are stuck with the lifestyle image that it comes with. The only way to change the lifestyle image would be to copy across the files to bring back the menu and carousel buttons and then change it back to the stripped version again afterwards. I will have to look into the possibility of making a shortcut button for the menu and carousel links which would solve alot of problems but I dont think it can be done. Then again I havent tried to do it before so you never know ;)

If I can do that then I would certainly make a totally stripped Ultimate version with a selection of custom MenuBars (provided by myself and other members who want to contribute) and im sure it would take over from the standard ProPlus Ultimate version :D

Haha if you have any designs or size requirements for a custom MenuBar then just let me know as its not hard to do.
[Windows Mobile Themes] bootheresa:
LOL. Yea just figured that adroid is nothing more than SPB Mobile Shell in a sense. Figured it would be nice to see that bar more functional. But I completely understand the want to be original. Everyone wants to copy something all the iphone copies and such. I will try and help you come up with something original, well atleast give some ideas, since you seem to be quite good at coming up with things on your own. Again Thanks.

Well, there's a setup script and an XML related to the widgets... But, they hid all the good bits in a .dll :mad:. It doesn't look like it's any kind of .Net. Anyone have any disassembler mojo?

When I try to import the registry file I receive an error message telling me it is not a registry script. Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Maybe you could do as I tried and reported in your ProPlus Ultimate thread? (screenshots below, I modified your stripped MenuBar3Lifestyle.xml a bit to put back the buttons in Landscape)

Portrait complitely stripped and Landscape with the "normal" ProPlus Ultimate layout (so to have access to Change background and carusel)

Also a question, is it also possible to strip the bar from the Pro Layout?

Thanks, I'm really no good at all with this kind of things^^

I was thinking about your Btn2 Medium (Clear) panel.

I'd like 2 versions maybe, so that it could fit the 2 kind of icons in my screenshot (your big box link and your big box link with a narrowed text invisible link made by Vostradamus for being used with big icons^^)
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Ah, I also noticed that if you place a frame image widget and tap on it to activate the slide show, there is the option to set (and browse) the picture as wallpaper so this could be one more workaround even without the bottom bars in any layout.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Onymous:
Can you tell me what program you are using to import the registry? Are you using the VGA or QVGA version?

I tested the 2 versions with Memmaid and SK Tools.

Clock does not refresh properly in spbms3.5

Hello all

I have a Miri v31 rom, and TOUCH HD phone.

For the last couple of months the phone has not updated the time properly.

When I take off the screen saver, the time is usually the time I last used the phone, and I have to move to another lifestyle page, then back to the home page to see the clock update.

Is anyone else experiencing this, and is there a fix?

Thanks,

Mark.

In 3d message viewer when you get sms and you hit reply a message pops out but not name and numbre of the person you are replying to?

SPB Time

Have you guys tried the latest build of "SPB Time", it integrates awesomely into mobile shell and is so nice to use. It adds a few new widgets into the shell, next alarm, moon phases, world time and a stopwatch. Try it out.:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Works fine on my phone. When I open the 3d message viewer and hit reply to a message then Microsoft Messaging opens with the persons original message at the top so it can be replyed to.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Yes it was picked up on a few days ago and it does work very well with mobile shell :)

I have had a look at the code to see how it integrates with mobile shell and whether standalone widgets can be made that wont interfere with qa_layouts as spb time doesnt need it but I think the widgets need spb time to integrate into mobile shell.
[Windows Mobile Themes] bootheresa:
Only thing I don't like about 3D message viewer is that you cant get to all messages from there.
[Windows Mobile Themes] DeeinSouthAfrica:
I like this feature in SPB Time. I sleep so lightly that the first 'peep' of any alarm wakes me, but I know just who to buy this as a Xmas present for.

He'll never be late again. :D

If you are the kind of person who can't get up to a regular alarm when the alarm first goes off, then you can use the Paranoid alarming option. In the Paranoid alarming mode the alarm won’t stop until you solve the puzzle correctly or smash your phone.

btw, is there any widget (or way to modify existing widget) to compose SMS/email msgs (one click)?
[Windows Mobile Themes] wickedbird98:
what do u mean...?
[Windows Mobile Themes] bootheresa:
In 3D you are limited as to where you can go...reply, new,foward etc. But if you wish to open all messages (muliple people) you can't. You can only go to the 3d message selected. So if I got a message from someone 2days prior and I want to get to it quickly and forward I can't. I have to unselect 3D viewer then tap on message icon to get to ALL messages. Hope that is a little clearer.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
No sorry :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] wickedbird98:
u should be able to open 3d messaging tben use ur finger to slide the top message downward off screen and access the previous messages. U could also just create a shortcut to the messaging app if the previously mentioned way is still to slow
[Windows Mobile Themes] bootheresa:
Yea. So basically just don't use 3d messaging and have it open all messages. Why wouldn't they just make a shortcut to all messages from within 3D messaging is the question. Slide top message? I get probably 150 messages a day, thats a lot of flipping. Thanks for the response.

BOO B)
[Windows Mobile Themes] wickedbird98:

I installed it but I fond no widgets at all and the menu for adding a widget shows at the top of the screen. I installed the widget injector, but still nothing shows.

[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
I have never installed sense so I dont know where they keep their widgets but I would asume you find the custom ones by adding a standard widget and then changing its skin to one of the custom ones added. Try skins in the Analogue Clocks, Digital Clocks and Calendars groups for example.

Touch Flo 3D

Hey has anyone found a way to switch the MS3.5 and Xbmod Manilla 2.0? It seems that when i use second today or anything like that the TF3D just won't install; just keeps giving me the launching screen (lots of ....) but no clock or tabs. I have considered updating to a 6.5 ROM but still can't yet since I'd have to update 3 apps and also some work stuff the IT dept only has it for WM6.1, though now that 6.5 is out maybe they'll update it.

Anyway there are times I would like to switch back to tf3d and any clue on how to do that would be great.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
I dont think anyone has done anything more about it so i guess you just have to switch between them using the manual method.
[Windows Mobile Themes] wickedbird98:
hey mskip

I was jus curious to kno if there was a way to turn the bottom bar in the other sections of spb, such as the spb menu or favs launcher, etc... invisible or to make it black no matter what the theme color is.

I think i saw something about editing the dat file but i dont have a working comp right now and when ive tried things like that b4 on phone...they didnt work

TF3D

Well I guess if there isn't a way to get TF3D to work then getting one that looks like it would be cool. The only thing I miss that I get with TF3D that doesn't work here is the Album feature. I really like being able to swipe to my next picture and tap on a part of the picture to zoom in on it. If anyone has a solution to enable something like that or a application that mimics the features of the HTC album I'd like to try it. Thanks for all the widgets and themes.

Trick:

Enable OpenGL 3D, G-Sensor, and other 3D Tweaks like Show FPS (by Holy_Moly)

To enable the better 3D (GL) view for carrousel, mail, mms and sms, you have to change the following reg value.

Warnig: Test first if you phone supprts Open GL 3D via Hardware!!!

Here are some tools to test it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=511363

If your phone freezes after activation of OpenGL and opening 3D carrousel, mail, mms and sms, you should set the main reg value back to GlEnabled = 0. IMO in that case your OpenGL 3D drivers ar not that good enough.

HKML/software/spb software house 2/spb mobile shell/Gl/GlEnabled = 1 (DWORD)

Set it to 0 to deactivate again.

G-Sensor enable/disable icon will also shown after you change this reg value to 1.

There are also some other thinks you can tweak for the better 3D view.

HKML/software/spb software house 2/spb mobile shell/Gl/HqRefelections 1 (DWORD)

Set it to 0 to deactivate again.

HKML/software/spb software house 2/spb mobile shell/Gl/MaxHQ = 4294967295 (DWORD)

Have to test if there are other settings. This was may default but getting only 4 FPS @ 3D Karusell (KisS20.5a ROM). Maybe have to look for better 3D Drivers for my phone???

HKML/software/spb software house 2/spb mobile shell/Gl/MaxPitch= 41 (DWORD)

41 = Default Value for carrousel Pitch

HKML/software/spb software house 2/spb mobile shell/Gl/ReflBlack = 48 (DWORD)

48 = Default Value: for black reflection value.

HKML/software/spb software house 2/spb mobile shell/Gl/ReflectionAlpha = 60 (DWORD)

60 = Default Value: for the reflection alpha

HKML/software/spb software house 2/spb mobile shell/Gl/ShowFPS = 1 (DWORD)

Shows FPS @ carrousel screen.

Set it to 0 again to deactivate.

HKML/software/spb software house 2/spb mobile shell/Gl/BGLightness = 55 (DWORD)

55 = Default Value: for the backround lightness

HKML/software/spb software house 2/spb mobile shell/Gl/FrameTimeMin = 0 (DWORD)

0 = Default Value: for ???

HKML/software/spb software house 2/spb mobile shell/Gl/SelectorScene/Refelections = 1 (DWORD)

Set this to 0 to deactivate reflection at the carrousel for more speed/FPS!

1 = Default Value

HKML/software/spb software house 2/spb mobile shell/Gl/Mails/RefelectionAlpha = 40 (DWORD)

40 = Default Value: Set to change alpha value for mail, mms and sms view.

[Windows Mobile Themes] leebaber:
I've gotta say I'm quite impressed with ms3.5, but in a way disapointed with a couple of things, firstly I was hoping there would be a built in wallpaper changer for every page, like a option in the bottom right hand pop up menu. Secondly I was hoping there would be a way to add widgets that linked straight to chosen websites, idealy you could just pick a site from your favorites.

As for the new widgets I'm kinda disapointed by the facebook widget, as all you can do is update your status, it would be more usefull if it at least could link to the website, and ideally it would also show a list of recent status updates from your friends. I was also hoping for a bit more facebook intregation such as being able to see peoples facebook status on there contact cards. I like the new picture frame widget, just wish you could alter it to use the htc album instead of the spb one as it's a bit slow and doesnt have a zoom function, I also think a display random picture option would have been a nice addition.

I'm also missing my diamond flip clock and the old wireless manager widget but sure these will soon be added by someone of this forum :)

Overall though I have to say I'm happy with 3.5, but looking forward to what the next update will bring!

3.5 constantly freezing

Had the same issue. The problem (bug) is the combination of MS3.5 and Pocket Plus. There's a conflict with the option in Pocket Plus which really closes the application (with the x at the right top of the screen). Switching that option off helps, for now. It appears to be a known issue, so let's await the update :)

Edit: same problem with WkTASK (another app that really closes applications).

Edit2: ... and Magic Button... so it's a more generic issue.
