Mogul issues

I've installed the spb mobile shell with the sense revolution all are v3.5 on my htc sprint mogul or ppc6800. I came across an issue with the rotation of the screen. When I rotate the widgets are ok but its the 3 buttons that doesnt rotate with it. When I flip the keypad out the 3 buttons I dont know what the name of the buttons are called but when its flip the buttons just go to the side of the screen doesnt show up in the bottom and the pictures are not rotated corrected. Widgets are fine though.

Please help thank you.

Mogul issue

When I had my mogul i had to edit the screen for portrait then edit it seperately in landscape. If i didn't do this landscape was always messed up.
[Windows Mobile Themes] stanik1:
What do you mean by edit. Like go into a file and edit the landscape files or something.

Like all the widgets are fine but the launcher button are not rotating.

I will get some kind of screen shot app and see if i can show you what I mean.

[Windows Mobile Themes] stanik1:
For some reason I dont remember how to change bake to the hero launcher back but i keep it to the original spb shell button and that seems to rotate with the screen.

But I am trying to add some widget and I cant get the fav contact on 1 page I have to add contacts separately. I remember when spb3 was easier to add all kinds of widget. But maybe im not seeing something

[Windows Mobile Themes] webfrm:
Memory usage seems high

Has anyone noticed that MS is using more memory than TF3D? I don't know if it will equate to more battery loss but I'm guessing it will. In TF3D I am only seeing 42% in use but when I launch MS3 it goes to 52% in use. Maybe the fine mods from Voldus or Mskip are causing the extra 10%.

Does anyone know if adding widgets should increase the memory in use? Does it matter which widgets i use? I would uninstall MS again but I finally got my panels setup the way I want :D and it would be a PIA to setup again. Anyway got a spare battery charged up (HA-HA take that iphone! /smack) just in case. Do any of you see increases in memory with MS or modes to MS?

I love moding, but I'm a road warrior for work and seldom do I get access to charge my device so I need it to survive the 12 hour day with me.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
Question: do I see an increase in memory usage adding more widgets/mods?

Answer: not sure, may be.

Question: do I see an increase in battery draining adding more widgets/mods?

Answer: nope. Maybe

only

with the battery widget (this has been reported a while ago to the guys at spb, it looks like it does not happen on every device though)

I don't use my device too heavily, but no matter the number of widgets I place on my screens and/or the number of mods I install, my battery always lasts for its usual 4-5 days

Hope this info will help ;)

I am using this Theme (Sense Addon for Mskips ProPlus Ultimate V2). Thanks for making this!!! And of course thanks to mkskip for providing the basic!!!

But I have a Problems:

I am having some display issues:

As you can see there is a black space on the bottom. If I try to drag a widget there it gets pushed up, but the graphic stays (second screenshot).

I am guessing this is because of wm6.5.1 which I am using. There is no start button in WM6.5.1 so the taskbar is smaller. And apparently this theme cant handle it. Is there a workarround for this?

[Windows Mobile Themes] keithdupont:
I am not sure how to solve that. It does have something to do with wm6.5.1 or higher. I did not change anything in regards to that aspect of Mskips theme so maybe he knows.

I had been looking for something this. Now I don't have to keep changing my settings to launch one or the other. Let the developer know to keep up the good work and a Big Thank you for finding it.

How do you map to the long push send though? I have the old TP and when I add those options and hold the send button nothing happens. Is the long push a feature I need to add in the registry to enable it?
[Windows Mobile Themes] bootheresa:
Usually long press send key is dedicated to voice command. I installed GoodThings2Lifes tweaks cab which opens that button up for use. I am not sure what the registry edit is though.

I will not post the cabs, because I believe credit should go where credit is do. I benefit by others hard work so out of respect I will not post the cab. Sorry.

No problem I agree with giving the credit to the developer. I just couldn't find a link on ppcgeeks when I searched for goodthings. The search engine kept wanting to separate the words "good thing" so needless to say I was unable to find it. So I appreciate the link since my luck with the search was zero.

Thanks again

[Windows Mobile Themes] CelticREI:
Because ye have a TP ye can use Tarkim's key mapper found here: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=521786 It works insanely well and allows ye to remap any key or button on the TP and TP2 (so it wouldn't have to be long press send, ye could have it single press Home, or double press Home, or Fn+A, etc etc heh)

MSkip's ProPlus Christmas Addon Pack (QVGA, WQVGA, VGA and WVGA) :)

First of all Merry Christmas everyone who follows the Mobile Shell Threads.

I promised to make some christmas widgets so here I am again publishing it for your enjoyment. The pack is for QVGA, WQVGA, VGA and WVGA. You can use it with any ProPlus Theme and consists of the following:

3 x christmas backgrounds to choose from (1 size fits all resolutions)

1 x Analogue Clock (add analogue click then change skin to Large)

1 x Snowman Battery (add battery then change skin to ProPlus Small)

1 x Merry Christmas Banner which can be placed anywhere (add backing panel then change skin to Panel Medium (Black)

1 x Christmas Corner Decorations to place at the bottom (add backing panel then change skin to Panel Medium (Blue)

I think they look quite nice :)

If you dont have or dont want to use ProPlus then you can still use the Backgrounds and Christmas Clock as the clock just overwrites the standard Mobile Shell large analogue clock.

Original Files also included in the pack to get everything back to normal after christmas.

Instructions:

1. Copy any of the background files over to your Program Files, Spb Mobile Shell folder to use on the Lifestyle Screens

2. Copy the files from the Christmas Widgets folder (QVGA or VGA sub folder) over to your Program Files, Spb Mobile Shell folder

3. Change Background using Menu, Change Background (if you have Elegance or Ultimate Elegance installed you should know what you have to do)

4. Place widgets on the screen using Menu, Add Widget (then change its skin)

If you enjoy using anything that I have created please consider making a donation. It helps me to carry on my work and I have spent ALOT of time on this project so appreciation of my work is very welcome.

Enjoy :D

Weather Panel in Carousel

The screenshot I enclosed is of the Weather Carousel Panel that you made for me. It is not just a widget, however you did include it in my widgets for the Lifestyle Panels. You probably dont remember(hopefully you do not remember what a pain I was!) I still have all the files with your graphics if you need them. I have shared the theme with some members on Brighthand(giving you full credit of course!), it looks very nice on the iPAQ 210 VGA screen. I have seen very few (if any) themes in SPB MS3.5 that have such clean sharp detail as yours. This makes all of the difference when you are looking at a 4" VGA screen!!!

Let me know

By the way, your Christmas Theme is Absolutely Fantastic!!!

Should it work with SQVGA (320x320) screen ? I tried to install it, but the top bar is still here on my Treo Pro running WinMo 6.5.3 b28014 :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] sandymac:
Tried installing these analogue clocks copying exactly the method mentioned. I get the skin options on the clock to change to these but there is no preview and any change is ignored. I have previously installed MSkip's widgets and just copied the xml to his qa_layouts.dat file. Not sure if this is an issue. I am using a WVGA HTC HD. Any advice would be appreciated.

:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
Top bar? :confused:

I think you got it wrong... that one was a skin for the status widgets to make them transparent (i.e. invisible)... it's got nothing to do with the top bar (unless I got wrong what you mean by "top bar", that is :p )
[Windows Mobile Themes] lilhgarcia1:
I downloaded Vostradamus Widgets and widgetjeff the files are "dat" and i don't know where to put them at I went to program file - spb mobile shell and put them there but it doesnt show up
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
huh? :confused: if you downloaded my widgets you should have several cab files, 1 xml file and a document describing the installation procedure......
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Thank you I always like your enthusiasm with words lol :D

Send me the files and I will see if it can be transfered over to 3.5. I really do not remember making a weather panel up for you, I remember you had got stuff from other people when trying to make a theme up so it might have already been done for you before I got it.

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Probably jgjacksons setup then as he never cabbed up his files, just included the widgets, qa_layouts and registry file for importing.

Copy the dat files to your device, program files, spb mobile shell folder and import any redtry file provided. If that didnt mean anything to you then I would just leave it alone as you dont want to ruin anything :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
So you copied across all the va_ files to your spb mobile shell folder, imported the registry file into the phone and added the xml file to the qa_layouts.dat file using the correct password?

How did you add the xml file exactly? Thats the most likely cause of your problem.
[Windows Mobile Themes] korbi:
Does someone else experience this problem? I am pretty sure its a issue with WM6.5.1, but is nobody running MS on an WM6.5.1 OS?!?? Please help me.

Since its a mod of Your skin, Mskip, maybe You have an idea?!?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Yes its because of the smaller TaskBar in WM6.5.1. The main background image will not display properly but if you copy across this modified qa_layouts file to your device then at least you can move widgets to the bottom of the screen in the 8pixel deadzone. The best workaround is to put one of my custom MenuBar panels at the bottom to hide the black space and put your widgets onto it.

THIS MODIFIED FILE IS ONLY FOR PROPLUS ULTIMATEV2 WITH THE 18PIXEL TASKBAR!!

Delete the .zip and copy to your mobile shell folder on your phone then soft reset.

This issue was actually resolved in the latest 3.5.2 release. And then it shows up again after installing Ultimate. I never tried using this updated layouts file cause I'm Loving Ultimate Elegance.

Wonder if it could be resolved wroth something as simple as a taller wallpaper. I don't think I could ever go back to Ultimate but maybe I'll give it a shot next I Hard Reset my phone.

And I can't thank you enough for all your work Mskip.
[Windows Mobile Themes] sandymac:
I renamed the dat file to a zip file then added the xml file with the password (not the first time I have done this). Renamed back to a dat file and copied to the shell folder. I then imported the registry file but can only see the options for the various clocks under the skins but no preview and no clocks activated. I must be doing something wrong but for the life of me I can't think what. Perhaps if I knew what registry entries were changed, I could check these.

[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
Check if your pc is set to hide file extensions for known file types... if it is, then when you renamed it back to .dat it most probably renamed it to .dat.zip making it useless.

If that's the case, just change that setting so that file extensions are always shown and rename it again correctly.
[Windows Mobile Themes] sandymac:
Vostradamus, thanks for the tip but this is not the case. I have named the file correctly. What is frustrating me is that the options for the analogue clock are shown correctly on the skins menu. I can select one but there is no preview and when I accept it nothing happens. All the dat files are present in the shell mobile directory. Have also carried out numerous soft resets. Just wondering if it is something to do with combining with MKsip's widget file although I doubt this as I have checked the dat file and both his and the Clockworks xml files are present.

I looked in the Registry settings and note that there are two entries: Spb Software House and Spb Software House 2. Is this correct? The second entry is for Spb Mobile Shell whereas the first has Pocket Plus, Shared, Spb Time and Spb Weather. The Clockwise widgets are listed in the first under Shared/Spb Menu/WidgetPackages.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
Yes, those two entries in the registry are correct.

I wouldn't bother checking the registry: the widgets names showing up in the change skin menu usually mean that the registry part has been updated correctly...

No preview and no clock when you select it most of the times means problems with the xml
[Windows Mobile Themes] sandymac:
Many thanks, again, Vostradamus. I looked at the xml and couldn't see anything obvious so will uninstall everything and try adding the analogue clocks then MsKip's widgets manually (testing the clocks before proceeding). Hopefully this will resolve it. :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
Good luck, and keep us updated ;)
