I got "free" SPB Mobile Shell (3.5.5), then DL'd as advised above ... and I got all the items, but still 11 days trial. There is no provided "Injection pack" link for WVGA (800x480) devices, and after all troubles, still I got demo with some more widgets. Any advice of help ?

Thank You

i have a problem...

i have 2 games in my blackstone called xtrakt and experiment 13.

they are great games but they refuse to start when spb m.s. is on.(they begin but never load...they freeze and when i close them i need to restart device to start them again)

any idea?

and one more question...

do you know a way to reduce memory usage?a tip or anything like that?

thank you in advance!!!

(and sorry for my english!!!)
[Windows Mobile Themes] RobTsintas:
I've experienced these games freezing when there's not enough memory (it's not MS or ProPlus specifically that's causing a problem). Try to have all other programs closed before you run them. You could also try CleanRAM to maximise your free RAM.

NRG did some great work in his Rhodium ROMs to replace the Windows start menu with alternatives ("quickmenu" and "panel view"), which save a lot of RAM, but I couldn't tell you how to implement these on your Blackstone.

Weather - actual conditions problem

Hi,

I'm using MS 3.5.5 + latest ProPlus Freedom and last few days(3-4) I have problem with weather widget which update itself (I could see changing of weather forecast for next days) but the info about current weather stay always on (+/-) 5AM clock.

So after few hours and updates I can see only temps for current day without actual conditions.

I tried reinstall all (MS+PPF) but no luck, problem is staying.

Know somebody solution for this problem ?

Thanks

PS:

I don't want to reinstall system :(

need help friends

Dear friends

I've an HTC TOUCH HD MOBILE, with NRGZ titanium rom (i put it back to simple today screen).

I install spb mobile shell 3.5

Install MSKIP Pro plus Freedom,

Install MSKIP 20 pro plus elegance

i save Fundotela_BakGrounds VGA Folder to my sdcard.

I even down load Shell Extension 2.0.6

I Only want to change Different background wallpapers on differents pages.

I've read and read and read nearly all things refer to background.

RESULT ME 0 and my Mind Super 0.

Didnt even know where to start what to do.

NEED STEP BY STEP.

PS: EVEN WATCH ALL MSKIP VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE. hahaha nothing.

READ ALL PDF FILES HOW TO. damn nothing from me.

All help would be most welcome and appreciate.

Thanks for all friends and helpers, Really thanks guys.:(
[Windows Mobile Themes] :
I believe you can only have one background for personal panels, and one for professional panels. I don't think the program has the capability to have separate wallpapers for each separate panel.

You can get around this by using a full screen pic with no borders, however. I can't recall with versions come with this option.

Also, are you loading two MSkip versions on top of each other?
[Windows Mobile Themes] :
This is a SPB Mobile Shell issue, and not related to MSkips addons.
[Windows Mobile Themes] :
I would delete those entries and use a program like Gyrator, or similar to manage your approved rotated apps.

By the way, it looks like you are trying to only allow certain screens within the app (or module) to be rotated. I don't believe that HTC programmed for that to be possible.

Create a background image (960x748) and save as jpg.

Copy it to your Program Files/ Spb Mobile Shell folder on your phone.

Press the menu button on the Home Screen, then select Change Background and select your new background.

If the image doesnt change then do a Background Refresh in the ProPlus Manager.

Download links on first post.

Enjoy :)

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Ok im under the impression that the mods wont work on non WWE Roms (yet) but I need a few people with different language roms to do some tests for me if you dont mind.

1. Install ProPlus Freedom to DEVICE memory on a clean version of Spb Mobile Shell.

2. Using a File Explorer on your phone note if the following folders have been created (with the appropriate files inside):

device memory, program files/tools (winrar and some registry files)

device memory, program files/tools/options (loads of xml files)

check if a program files/ spb mobile shell folder has been created with all the proplus widget in or whether they have been copied to the 'proper' spb movile shell folder.

3. Using a registry editor browse to HKLM, Software, Spb Software House 2, Spb Mobile Shell and note the text entry for 'InstallDir'.

4. If the above is correct then trystarting a mod (preset theme is the best) and note EXACTLY what happens on the screen (whether a message comes up saying a file is being imported and any other changes or messages).

Without this information I dont know if I can get everything working but if a few people can do these steps then I should be able to fix any errors in the code.

Thanks.

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Themes] claus1953:
First feedback:

1. ok

2. ok, i guess the files have been copied inside my MS folder, as there is a ProPlusManager in there.

3. A new registry folder has been created, MSkip ProPlus Freedom, with 2 strings for the current themes (original). InstallDir is Archivos de programa/Spb Mobile Shell.

4. MS started correctly, i started the ProPlusManager and checked the loaded theme, it gave for both original. Then i switched to Ultimate Elegance, Large selector bar icons. Sure=yes. Reset the screen layout=yes. MS restarted and LyfeStyle home (main screen) is empty. Bottom bar is the same as before. When swyping vertically the professional screen comes up, but i did not check before to see if it is the same or if it changed.

Edit: i checked and the professional screen is the original one.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
After you selected yes to 'are you sure' when changing the menubar to ultimate elegance did you notice if you got the messages up on the screen 'Adding Lockscreen' for the 7 lockscreens or did they not pop up?

Im downloading a french and italian emulator image so hopefully I can do some tests my end aswell.

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Themes] claus1953:
After selecting yes to are you sure the script closed and no messages came up at all, only MS was restarted.
[Windows Mobile Themes] claus1953:
I got through the mscr of the manager and found at the beginning 4 paths for the tools with Program Files. I changed those to Archivos de programa, and now after all the selections and clicking the last yes, several windows came up quickly and then a last one asking if i wanted the registry to be written, answered yes, and the MS restarted showing the new selected bottom bar, but no widgets at all on the screen. I assume this is so because the screen was empty before applying the changes? Maybe i should reload the MS new and the proplus freedom suite again?

Edit: I did reload everything from new but it is still the same, the bottom bar changes but the widgets do not. They just disappear.
[Windows Mobile Themes] nowhereXmanX:

Hi Mark, in my Portuguese Rom the folder /tools and /tools/options doesn't exist. What can i do?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Oops I meant program files/ mskip tools, and program files/ mskip tools/ options.

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Does the mskip tools folder have Archivos de programa at the beginning instead of program files? If thats the case then that must be the problem I just need to change program files for whatever language the rom uses.

If you select a theme with the 7 selectable pages (elegance or ultimate elegance) then they will start off blank apart from the menubar at the bottom. You can then set up each page as you wish.

If you select Original or UltimateV2 then you will get the standard mobile shell layout and can then add or subtract widgets from the pages.

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
You HAVE to install the program to DEVICE MEMORY. If you install it to the storage card memory then it will never work.

The cab hasnt been fixed for non WWE roms yet. I wanted to get it released so people can help test it and we can find out how to get it working for all languages (or ones that are set up at least).

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mrmarque:
I still don't understand why my device with SPB 3.5.3 and ProPlus UltimateV2 everything was fine and now i have all this problems.

What was done different from the earlier version to this one?

Regards
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
With UltimateV2 the theme was already SET with the UltimateV2 menubar.

With Freedom you start with the Original Menubar and then through a series of selections in the ProPlus Manager program you can load whatever menubar you want. This relies on different xml (text) files being stored in the program files/ mskip tools/ options folder and then being injected into the qa_layouts.dat file after being selected.

These folder names are set but if the folder names are different such as for non WWE (english) roms then the manager cant find the files to inject them and thus nothing will change.

All that needs doing is for the appropriate paths to be set in the manager for the different languages which is why I have been asking people to tell me the correct names. Then I can enter them in the manager and everything will work perfectly (I hope).

I hope that explains where we are right now.

Having the non-WWE-ROM problem as well, as ProPlus Freedom doesn't change anything.

Program Files folder in German ROM is:

Thanks for your work!
[Windows Mobile Themes] smithy99:
German ROM-Settings

Done, all folders created (German Rom is "\Programme\MSkip Tools") with all the files. ProPlus Widgets working.

German ROM: \Programme\Spb Mobile Shell

When I open a preset Theme (e.g. Ultimate Elegance) I get prompted which selector bar I want (Large with numbers) and asked if I am sure (yes).

MSH restarts and I get asked if I want to reset the layout (No=all the same; yes=blank screen). MSH restarts again and unfortunately only the background picture has changed. The selector bar und everything else remains unchanged. That is the same for all themes.

So basically all the folders seem to be right, but the rest is not working.

Thanks for your work
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Ok I think I have fixed the problem with the paths. This should make everything work apart from saving to storage card and copying back from storage card as I still need to sort that bit out (for non WWE roms).

Can a few people with a non WWE rom download the attachment, delete the .txt from the end so the filename is ProPlus Manager.mscr and copy to your spb mobile shell installation folder (overwriting the original). If it doesnt ask you to overwrite then something hasnt been done right.

No soft reset required. Just try testing the functions again and let me know if it works (stating your appropriate language).

Hope this works.
