SPB is a 3rd party app which you need to purchase. XDA does not allow warez in any shape or forum whether you are requesting or providing it.

Consider this 1st and last warning on this matter

EDIT

I notice you have edited first post and removed warez request & my comments
[Windows Mobile] sameh_elhakim:
ok man i will buy it but how to cook it with my ROm after buying it man ??? please if you know can u make a reply by the way thanx so much
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
It's like cooking anything else in: install it, grab all the files and registry keys, then put them in an EXT. Try to get it to work straight out of \windows (possibly change registry key paths and shortcut paths); if that doesn't work, then you need to send the files to their own directory.
[Windows Mobile] magawa:
and if it has setup.dll in the cab you CAN compare the registry before and after installing the cab by sktarcker or ceregedit and export it in the App.reg

it's Not easy to do this , YOU SHOULD WORK ON IT !!!

and some times setup.dll removes and rename some files

BTW : Warez app , Requests , releases are Not Allowed in most Forums

cheers
[Windows Mobile] NRGZ28:
If you just want to cook this in for personal use or even the trial that's fine. Nobody can impose restrictions on that.

The way I did it is I dumped the cab to an OEM using the CAB2OEM tool floating around XDA (search for it by name).

Add it the resulting OEM to your kitchen like you would any other regular OEM package.

If you'd like to also cook in all your customizations... export the SPB Mobile Shell 2 registry key that gets created after you install SPB.

Good luck...

p.s. I looked at the original post and you did ask where to get the "final SPB cracked" version. We don't allow that here (warez or warez requests) and please leave the moderator edits in place next time you edit your post. Thank you! :)
[Windows Mobile] sameh_elhakim:
thank you so much for this information

but i have a problem with how to export the reg key from phm reg.

and use it in cooking

2nd - how to change the theme from the official like i said hero theme or htc style

3rd- how to make it is the first theme boot cuz i have to load the rom on my omnia and after sign in i have to press on spb theme button but i want to make it the default

thanx again
[Windows Mobile] indagroove:
If you wanna take the easy way out, you can use my EXT package as a base for customizing:

[Windows Mobile] sameh_elhakim:
thank you so much for your ext package i will make a compare between the package i have and yours and i will see if i had any problem in my package after your permission thanx man
[Windows Mobile] indagroove:
FYI, I should have mentioned my package is for WVGA devices.
[G1 Android Development] jonze5:
this solution was found in the nexus one android development in xda. so i dont take credit for this... but it worked on my g1...

have d new cyanogen eclair rom on it,

but i got 16 hrs of battery n still have 50 %.

mild texting and calls, took a 4 min video, uploaded it to youtube, downloaded 5-6 apps, mild surfing, tried the new mozilla fennec browser(lame)

had setcpu min & max 528 mhz.

so... this is good fix!

here is the link to the original thread on xda nexus one page

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=670999

basically, what u have to do is

go to settings, about phone, battery, battery use, cell standby, tap on cell standby and you will find 'time without signal' (if your phone has been ON for atleast 30 mins). if this is more than 30 %, thats whats draining ur battery.

(see attached pic)

so..

1) Goto dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#* (DO NOT press send)

wait a second and you will get the test menu.

2) In the test menu choose 'Phone Information'

3) scroll down and choose on the first drop down -GSM only or cdma only or wcdma only. whatever you choose, wait 5 seconds and look on ur notif bar if u get ur 3g back (or E).

4) Back all the way out.

5) You might want to reboot, but I found the settings worked straight away.

after you reboot, wait like an hour or so and go back to settings, about phone.. blah blah and find 'time without signal'. if it is lower than what u saw before... it worked!!!!

mine was 44% before and after it was 0%

and i used cdma only.

but to round up..

gsm only - best battery, less speed

cdma only - good battery, fastest internet

gsm auto or cmda auto - good battery, fastest internet

try this out guys... c if it works!

and people please dont choose not sure in the poll above right after you try this, wait a day or two and come back to poll.. or it wont hellp other people. xD
[G1 Android Development] jonze5:
-havent tried it on any donut roms...

volunteers r welcome...

-people using droid incredible tried this on and some lost mms sending (they could recieve) in the cdma(prl) only mode.

so whatever mode you choose try sending an mms to somebody or even yourself to make sure u can send and rcieve. if it dont.. just chose another setting or just put if back onto the cdma preffered option.

-this trick does not work after some reboots, so you might have to do this between 3 or 4 reboots. until somebdy finds an app for this..
[G1 Android Development] quierotacobell:
Using GSM Auto (PRL) I got no network connection at all. GSM only, only gave me Edge. So I changed to WCDMA Only and see how it goes.
[G1 Android Development] jonze5:
yeh i put cdma only
[G1 Android Development] adelco93:
im on gsm prl, and i have hspda
[G1 Android Development] sd2649:
Testing!

changed to GSM auto.... I will let you know how it goes after a couple of days :)
[G1 Android Development] jonze5:
if its auto, it'll just drain down the battery by switching between edge and 3g..

you should be better off with an 'only' option!
[G1 Android Development] rynosaur:
FYI, the OP is in the G2 Hero forum, and he claims to have found it on the CDMA Hero forum, not that it really matters . . .

thanks for copying the tip over here!:D
[G1 Android Development] CrazyEye:
Set it to the settings the OP had and since I don't get 3g anyways I wonder how this will affect my phone's battery life.

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] jonze5:
if u dont get 3g anyways.. ur best bet is gsm only...

u'll get loads of battery
[G1 Android Development] CrazyEye:
Yeah it was already set to GSM only

Thanks dude
[G1 Android Development] quierotacobell:
You mean WCDMA only right? CDMA only wouldn't work. Will post later on how it is, along with the OC+UV kernel by pershoot.
[G1 Android Development] ballerhaller:
i dont get any form of data

ie no edge or 3g

wat shud i make my setting?

thx a lot
[G1 Android Development] quierotacobell:
Either GSM only OR WCDMA Only, only those two will work. I get no data on GSM Auto.
[G1 Android Development] kristoff123:
This is nonsense. You don't need special, secret codes to choose any of these settings. There are 2 much better options:

1. Choose "Use 2G networks only" under your network settings.

2G = GSM!

3G = WCDMA!

I do that if I'm going out for the night and already on a low battery. It works.

2.

One other option is to get "Anycut" form market, make a shortcut for "phone info," then you can choose any setting you want - 3g only, 2g only, evdo, etc. This will have all of the settings available. That seems like a better solution to me than the one posted by the OP.
[G1 Android Development] MilkPudding:
I may be stating the obvious but for people who want to try it, be prepared to have NO internet connection at all if the 3G coverage is not that great in some areas.
[G1 Android Development] kristoff123:
That's only if you choose "3g only" , i.e. "WCMDA only"

otherwise, you can choose 2g only, cdma, evdo, etc. Look at my post above - use anycut from Market. I'm surprised no one has caught this yet. This thread should be closed for confusing people. It's not some new, magical solution. The same solution, in a much easier, more accessible form (home shortcut) has existed for a year and a half...
[G1 Android Development] rynosaur:
Been around for a while!!!

Thanks for the dialer tip-in to this part of the framework, but as the above caller said, these options have been built-in for ages: I was goofing around with these in 2008 when my town didn't have T-Mo 3g and I was desperate for more bandwidth! AnyCut is good to call up these settings as the above caller stated, but I prefer the Google app that gives us all this and more! :D

This used to be wrapped in the all-in-one SDK, but now that the SDK is live/downloaded in segments, I couldn't tell you how to get it again. Thankfully, some devs continue to roll it up in their ROMs. Enjoy :)

As for the caller who say picking 3g from the settings menu is the same as choosing WCDMA Only, I say WRONG! Picking 2G from the menu is restricting the phone to the GSM/GPRS radio only, whereas unchecking that box fires up both the UMTS/HSPDA (powered by the WCDMA standard) radio for data, while keeping your GSM radio on for calls, texts, etc -- thus the big difference in battery life.

Wikipedia is your friend!

As for the question of which ROM this could work with (could because keeping the radio from switching/searching/sitting idle for no reason may save some battery just as the dude who said selecting just 2G will save battery) . . . I say sure. But does that solve the underlying issue behind Eclair battery usage? I doubt it. Look to setCPU for that, methinks. Anyhow, this app/method should save EVERYONE battery or cost ANYONE battery, depending on how you set it--regardless of ROM--RC19 to Nexus Eclair 2.1. Hell, it'll save battery on an iPhone, if you could do the right kind of sexual favor for Steve Jobs to get him to let you to the source code so it could be installed ;)
[G1 Android Development] BigWorldJust:

-Unkown

[G1 Android Development] rynosaur:
Oh don't worry, the OP is in "development" in the G2 Hero forum as well. So the kind gentleman who copied the post when he opened this thread in Dream/G1 couldn't be faulted per se. It should be in tricks & tips. Then again, is the "rooting" process really development? It's a combo of flashing HTC image files and Google SDK components and a few commands . . . not that I don't benefit from the people who developed the procedure every day ;)

I am on 1.6 ROM and I am not getting any other option but just these:

I go to menu and radio Band while I am in and I get Automatic, USA, Aus etc changing those I still don't get option to change to GSM Auto (prl)?

help! :confused:
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
Those options are only on 2.X.....The prl options wont work anyway(data wont work).
[G1 Android Development] rynosaur:
Your best bet is WCDMA Only -- I have all the options in the world with this Eclair build but almost none of them have a good effect.
[G1 Android Development] jonze5:
yeah i found this on nexus ones development and hero dev page.. so i guessed this would be the best place... and whenever i come to xda, i just go right into development lol
[G1 Android Development] jonze5:
this worked for me

i put (w)cdma only on my g1 and it lasted 21 hrs of 3g... with moderate use..

to c if this is working... u gatta go to settings>about phone>battery use>cell standby>tap on cell standby and you will see 'time without signal'(if ur phone has been online for atleast half hour)

if this % is low like below 25 or something... it should have worked.

mine used to be 44% before doing this

and now its 0% and thats whats saving the battery!!!

hope u guys get it now...

and when i am in a area with no 3g coverage, it did switch to egde automatically even in cdma only mode..
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
im trying the gsm auto (PRL) option right now. ill test it all day tomorrow. its at 31 percent use but hey its alot better than what it used to be (around 50-60 percent) ill try your option though as well. This is great!
[G1 Android Development] Super Jamie:
So it seems:

GSM = 2G constantly, including crappy GPRS/EDGE speeds

GSM with PRL = 2G idle then 3G when it needs it (ie: when you transfer data)

WCDMA = 3G constantly, including good HSPA speeds

Right?

Strange that PRL is not normally a setting useful on GSM devices. It has to do with data roaming on CDMA:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preferred_Roaming_List
[G1 Android Development] jonze5:
not really... coz some people had 3g working on the gsm only option too..

but to round up..

gsm only - best battery, less speed

cdma only - good battery, fastest internet

gsm auto or cmda auto - good battery, fastest internet
[G1 Android Development] qw3rty33:
Selecting gsm only is the same as selecting 2g only in settings. I've done this since I got my phone almost 2 years ago.
[G1 Android Development] jonze5:
i guess...

i've only tried cmda only... so.. i cant comment on that..
[G1 Android Development] jaygajay:
Is everybody here that is testing this on T-Mobile's network and what ROM are you guys running. More info would be useful.
[G1 Android Development] jonze5:
mostly tmobile... and this works on eclair roms... not sure about the donut roms...
[G1 Android Development] :
I've seen this somewhere else and the point was to boost 3g speeds. Supposedly WDMA is supposed to be fastest. :S Never knew this boosted battery life as well.

If it works, nice find. :cool:
[G1 Android Development] mattv888:
Improved my battery life but this setting remained after a FULL wipe =S

[G1 Android Development] :
you think overclocking, especially overclocking over what the cpu was built to go safely is going to save battery? o.o

cyanogen released a battery fix.

common, guys. get on twitter.
[G1 Android Development] cosmique:
where :confused:
[G1 Android Development] :
http://twitter.com/cyanogen/status/13701326822
[G1 Android Development] cosmique:
cool thanks

btw it is not "overclocking" it is underclocking.

As you can see in the instructions, you'll have to set down the cpu freq to 122 mhz- so whenever the screen is off, the phone goes down to 122mhz. :o
[G1 Android Development] The Ape:
hey,

there`s an app 4 changing gsm/wcdma ...

go to market...search 4 "netzwerke"

download and your good 2 go...
[G1 Android Development] :
lol. wow.

no, that's an overclock kernal. 576? max SHOULD be 528. as well as the cpu was BUILT to run at 384 max.

underclocking to 122 is old news. i can underclock to 19.2 with setcpu.

did you even read read the instructions? do you even know wtf you are flashing?

uhhh, no. THAT'S overclocking. UNDERCLOCKING is OOOOOOLD news and you can do that without any custom kernel.
[G1 Android Development] opasha:
^^ in response to above:

i agree. people don't understand what the kernels are intended for in the first place. all these new kernels that are out are intended for speed boosts (thus overclocking to extremes). you are correct to say that underclocking with setcpu has been out for a while. people just flash these kernels because it does what they are too lazy to do in the first place. they will not improve your battery life. that is all a placebo effect of you staring at your phone for too long or leaving it idle for too long and seeing no quick 10% drop. when you go to an extreme, you will start to hurt your battery life as you push your phone. just think about it logically...it's not that difficult to understand.
[G1 Android Development] sturmeh:
In Eclair you have GSM auto (PRL) and CDMA options aswell as..

WCDMA preferred - Going to switch between EDGE/GPRS + 3G alot, prematurely going with GSM sometimes.

GSM only - You will get better battery life, but no 3G connectivity.

WCDMA only - You will get less battery life but your phone will always attempt to use 3G but when there is no 3G signal your service will cut out instead of falling back to GSM.

In short none of the Donut options are really feasible for saving battery if you intend on using 3G.

Does anyone have any information about the new option?

CDMA is obviously not for GSM users. ( For Droid etc. )
[G1 Android Development] :
Agreed, another thing, people are just plain out impatient. A second for an app to load is too long. "My computer is faster." Your computer probably has AT LEAST a GB of RAM. Your phone has 192 MB (Dreams). Just wait, ya know?

Even with common overclocking at 528, your phone runs fine at 384. You do get a little speed boost with 528, but it's not a MAJOR increase as in your phone would be rendered unusable at 384. Just a tad bit slower, but probably more stable if anything. It also depends on how much you use your phone/how hard you use it. If you play music, a game, and browse the web all at the same time, of course you're going to need to overclock. However, if you just get on the web because you're not around a computer or reading news/emails on the go, hell maybe watching a youtube video, wtf do you need to overclock for? I'm just ranting now, lol. 6:17A.M. I'm nice an tired. Got finals tomor.... today at 5 so I'm already a little grumpy, too, lol.

Either way, I'm glad someone actually sees eye-to-eye with me on all this overclock craze.

And God are you right about people pushing their phone. I have never even considered buying an extended battery. Not once. I charge quite often, but with a car charger and a house charger, it's never needed. My phone has died MAYBE once.
[G1 Android Development] Super Jamie:
I don't want to start an argument, but just FYI the MSM7201A SoC was designed to run at 528MHz. You can find it all over Qualcomm's site, for example here and here.

Alot of providers just choose to underclock their Android ROMs to one of the factory-documented options of 384MHz, presumably for increased battery life.
[G1 Android Development] :
=[ Sad that posts have to start with "I don't want to start an argument"

You are correct, however. Max recommended speed is 528. Either way, going over it is NOT recommended or STABLE or SAFE. Referring to this new overclock craze, of course.

It's not just that providers choose that, its because you don't NEED 528 for a Dream/Sapphire to run effectively. This more-so does apply to stock ROMs, and that's why they choose it. Probably not so much battery life, but it could be. I would think they look at it as it's just even safer to stay under it a tad bit and it still run smoothly. Think about it - stock ROMs are so.... bare-boned and don't even need that extra clocking. :P
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
making an "anycut" to phone-info is the *same thing* as suggested by the op, except the op suggested a simpler way than polluting your home screen with an extra icon.

As far as your (1) solution, it is incomplete and partially inCORRECT.

Specifically, deselecting 2G only is NOT the same as FORCING 3G ONLY, but is rather AUTOMATIC SELECTION depending on available networks. That option is BAD ON BATTERY.

You will also note that many NEW providers ***DO NOT HAVE 2G INFRASTRUCTURE AT ALL***, therefore enabling your 2G radio is a waste of battery.
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
Many new service providers do not have 2G at all. Why build a network that is already obsolete?
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
... or you could just use what is already there rather than wasting space by installing a potentially dangerous application written by who knows who....
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
Go to wireless and networks in the settings menu. Choose mobile networks. If you check use 2G only, this is equivalent to GSM only. CDMA only is equivalent to 3G only, which is default when in 3G.
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
In short, you have more than one radio in your phone. Each radio uses some amount of power to run. Each radio uses approximately the SAME amount of power as each other radio. Therefore to reduce power consumption, you reduce the number of running radios.

WCDMA ONLY will same **as much** power as GSM ONLY providing that the WCDMA network has equal coverage quality as the GSM network.
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
Somewhat related to battery consumption, have you considered that downclocking the device is done to reduce TEMPERATURE?

Each 10 degree C increase in average temperature corresponds to a reduction in lifespan of approximately 50%. In addition, increasing the temperature over a certain threshold has the potential to OVERHEAT/BURN/DESTABILIZE the circuit.

The phone doesn't exactly have a huge heatsink with a 10000 rpm fan... it is sealed in to a case that has ZERO ventilation and VERY poor cooling.
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
NO!

The DEFAULT is to automatically flip between 2G and 3G as signals appear/disappear. There is no option in that menu to force 3G ONLY.

And it is NOT "CDMA". It is ***WCDMA***.
[G1 Android Development] songokussm:
if you enable 2g network in the wireless menu, it does the same thing.

edit: funny story. one of my g1's was already set to gsm without me doing anything. My second g1 was not. Both settings are exactly the same.
[G1 Android Development] jonze5:
wow.. so the sprint 4g will have 3 radios right? i wonder how its battery drain is gonna be like! hope its got atleast a 1400mah battery
[G1 Android Development] jonze5:
yeah it gives gsm only..

but if u do this n choose wcdma only it gives 3g withh the best battery life... isnt that what we all need...
