hi
i have installed yahoo go 2 on universal wm6 rom and i have some problems with it looks like it not designed for vga screen do you gus any way to solve it?
which version did u install? can u post the cab here? when i downloaded yahoo go from the site, it told me this program not meant for this device and it quits
there is no version for VA screens.
did you find the Universal on the yahoo page?
i didn't!
i will post you the link and setup file...
I tried two VGA hacks on my version and it gives me an unsupported message when rendered to VGA so I stomach it in QVGA...

Is your version clean?
What I mean is is it always clear when your scrolling through the wigets?
The cab I have was for the WM Treo (I'm using a VGA Dell Axim X51v ) and it registers as a beta (no clue which version), everything works but sometimes wigets, text and images will overlap each other unless I rapid scroll up & dowm then it'll clear up.
Does yours run clearer than what I have? If so, post or PM me the link to the .cab file too.

If he won't I'll try to upload the one that "I have" onto here if you want it. Its in .cab form.
I might be able to do it this Weekend coming up if I get some time.
I'd still like to know if onlineemails' is better than my own.

Even better, I found where I go mine from.

is this link for vga yahoo go 2?
after searching and searching for possible resource files for an ozVGA hack... i accidentally stumbled upon a VGA hack from somewhere in the forums... didnt know it will work but just tested it anyhow...and wow! first time i was able to appreciate real VGA in all its glory... no more missing icons or displays...
important!!! i am not the author of this software... i just found it and would like to share it to my current family (UNiversal).... hehe!
all credits go to the author, tobias.waldvogel in the athena forums! cheers! you made a working REAL VGA program! finally!!!!
what is good about the program:
1) you can choose 96, 128 or 192 dpi settings
2) all icons/notifications/etc can can be seen
3) texts in the today bar are all present! (signal, battery, clock, volume, etc)
4) now you can use the htc home plugin with no problem! (in REAL vga)
5) very very minor font issues
***I am not liable for hard resets! i just want to share! if you're not sure what you're doing, maybe you should wait for other people to try it first and wait for their opinion on this software
sorry for 1 link only... i cannot upload it here... tried about 4 times already..

Great software, thanks mate! Works with Midget_1990 v1.0!

Yup, confirmed working & stable in Uni after 3 days of use. HTC Home now displays better although notification counts still cut-off/partially hidden at 128 dpi. Most progs are compatible except in my case 1-calc.
Credit should be given to: tobias.waldvogel of Athena forum here at XDA-Dev on the thread pointed out above by fallenczar!
I'm interested to learn about the application of real-VGA.
Why we will be needing real-VGA where we have high resolution in PIE...?
been following the development of this app from the athena forum and this latest release is really impressive.
the original thread is vga 144. thanks to tobias.
My GOD!!!!It becomes qtek 9000 screen beautiful!!!!
Incredible work!!

First of all congratulations ranju for the nice ROM (judging from the posts in your thread)!
With RealVGA we get to use HTC Home Today plugin which doesn't display well in QVGA. A lot of today screen space is also realized as well as getting to see a lot more on the screen on other VGA-aware progs. The drawback is when non VGA-aware programs are run, the fonts (& icons) are veeery small to be read/seen.
Can't comment on games as I don't use mine for that kind of stuff, but some say that VGA games are cool in Real VGA!
can someone post the cab file here? it keeps bumming me saying the rapidshare download limit has reached
thanks in advance!

YES! I also got this error!
And I found some error about Windows Live, the icon of MSN Messeger are wrongly displayed.
offiline logo = online
DND logo = offline
I've just downloaded and installed this file, and let me thank you for this.
And... Here is my two cents, i just wanted to share my experiences on how programs behaved in this mode.
The icons at SPB Today plugin doesn't display.
The Task manager icon is corrupted and is hard to click on it.
I've resetted my PDA twice since i installed this and both resets required another reset since it stuck at windows logo.
When i opened VC Painter.. well, it kinda crashed and i had to reset.
I've opened Pocket Artist, it works well except the icons at the toolbar can not be seen unless you click and wait on over them.
Opera seems better this way, you really enjoy browsing in fullscreen. Well, at least whilst opera "can" open web sites as it's supposed to be. I still am struggling for using meebo.com.
Minimo, the browser that i could barely have had any surfing experiences since it drives me crazy, is worse than Opera at browsing but works at RealVGA mode, well... kinda! (It crashed again when i tried opening a website.
The dialer skin doesn't fit the screen good enough. It has a blank space at down as big as the "Hide Keypad - Menu" bar is.
In this mode, viewing photos is a feast since you can view them in their original resolutions.
Resco Audio Recorder application denies the screen res. and tries to open like it was in back. It feels like they've coded their program to fill the screen according to ratios. Looks bad.
Wohoo! Keepass looks fantastic!
Novii Remote doesn't run at this screen resolution... *sniff*
pTravelAlarm's skin looks like crap, pity...
psShutXP feels more like real,
Voice2Go behaves just like Vito Audio Notes,
There're some minor font issues when i was exploring settings...
Oh and, it drains memory!

hi dreamtheater... i also had the same problem before...
i think these are the files i used for the htc home plugin....
htc home plugin: rt HTC home 2.0
htc home plugin customizer: HHCv08b.cab
this home plugin is the one with the 6 tabs... you can enable this using the customizer... you can also change the clock skins, icons, etc.
makes your home plugin look even better...
no other requirements except that you must be in wm6 for this particular plugin i posted (and in realVGA to get correct display).... i know i read somewhere that they were able to make a Cab to make the htc home plugin run on a wm5 device...

Hello everyone,
Here it is the shell everyone want. It's a trail version.
Just install it from your pc to your HD and have fun.
http://rapidshare.de/files/46782177/SpbMobileShell3_setup.exe.html
use this link to download it.
Have Fun.
Don't thank me but some other guys who made it possible.............
I want to but i'm not a developer. I'm going to try but i need some help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If anyone could help send me some mail.
Well,
I haven't tried any of the programs like a mobile shell because I was happy with the TF3D. And I guess that it wil be that way because when the program was installed and I wasn't happy with it, I uninstalled it.
After that the TF3D didn't respond anymore. No manilla files could be deleted (I searched some threads here) and nothing would work. Lucky for me I used a ROM update so i didn't lose much after the hard reset i've done, but still.
Any one who has the same problem after the uninstall????
This is far the most beautiful application I have used on my phone.Fully tweakable.You can add anything you want as a widget,move,make smaller or larger etc.
Multiple screens.Pro layout or plain.Backround wallpapers.You can use any SPB as a plugin and so much more that I don't know where to begin.
Anyway you must try it out.

How can that be?
Did you install it?
If not then do so and find out for yourself that it is a "trial" version.
SPB allows almost all their software to be used on a trial basis for 15 days before purchase.
THIS IS NO DIFFERENT.
The only thing I can see that might be an issue is that its not relaeased for commercial download yet.
If you want to post please do so, but please make sure what you post is accurate

been waiting for this!
Exellent app!!
Thank you!
i wonder were this comes from cause this app isnt available for download on the spb site. anyway, will give this beta a go and see whats up maybe try some skins.

Hi
I am using this and it is great!
I first tried it yesterday om WM6.1 and after install the background was black in professional layout.
today I installed WM6.5 and the background is blue.
Does anybody know how to change this to black?
Click on Launcher, then click on righthand bottom soft button (one that has a check pattern). Tools, theme and choose colour from there.
I tried this and also tried pointui 2 and bell ui. I always go back to manilla. Love it so. Better imo.
when it is finally out, having free upgrade for spb mobile 2.x users is wishful thinking right?
has anyone noticed, there is no today plugin in this version of mobile shell??? i got kinda used to it!
official version release is now available
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/pocketpc-software/mobileshell/
SPB Mobile Shell can be ran from the SD Card !!!! Saves humongous space.
Use SKTools' Move Folder Function to move the entire SPB Mobile Shell folder to your SD Card, but be sure to kill all processes first, otherwise, it won't allow you to move anything.

Hi all,
From yesterday MusicID is no longer working.
I got the following result after it analyses music
Track: Ugrade Now!
Artist: Get Shazam
I got an upgrade link that leads me nowhere (this is not possible to go any futher).
Anyone knows why?
I visited www.shazam.com put there are no WM version available. But there are RIM, iPhone, Symbian, Android,... versions...
Any MusicID alternative? (I know that Samsung developped a similar application, available with the new i8000 Omnia 2)
Thx in advance for your help.
Still working for me
I hadn't used it in awhile, so I fired it up after reading your post.
It could be the version you have installed. Someone said that at least one of the versions was tied to a particular persons account, so that account could at some point stop working, but that's just a theory.
I'm using 1.3.16_QVGA by Lepsyfou.

Just follow this link: http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2009/08...app-ported-for-all-windows-mobile-phones.html
This app is even better than Shazam as you can sing or hum a song in order to find the author name and the title of the track.
It works just perfect on my Touch HD!!!
Great find!
The UI fits the HD much better too. The reg edit to make it work from the phones data connection as well as wifi is a bit annoying, but worth the small hassle
Thanks for the update Dino.

1800 link seems to imply its no longer freely available, and the downloads gone.
Its available free of charge here and seems to be most recent version, works perfectly on my HD2 without any need for registry hacks.

Does anyone know of a method of switching between these two shells on the HD2? It seems to me it's impossible to get Sense to run without uninstalling SPB, which seems a bit ridiculous to me. I like both interfaces and would like to choose one or the other depending on my mood.
Yes, I have the same problem with my htc hd and spb shell 3.5
anybody found a solution?
Especially given the fact that some apps are actually integrated into Sense, and once disabled, you are unable to access or use them!

Unfortunately, No.
It seems that SPB mobile shares resources (classes) with HTC sense. Once SPB mobile is installed, SPB mobile overwhelms HTC sense. Either SPB Mobile or HTC sense, not both.
I use SPB mobile and Leo.
It's a pity. Many functions of HTC Leo cannot be used then. So, if you love HTC sense, don't use SPB mobile; if you desperately want SPB mobile, don't buy Leo.
I think the burden should be on SPB. It is their responsibility to develop interface software that compatible with their target.
Unfortunately, they have not taken this responsibility.

Yes, you are right, I was wrong. I am happy that I was wrong!
I tried. It works. The solution is quite simple indeed, surprisingly. Many thanks for the amazing solution.
I searched official forum of SPB but no solution is presented there. People on that forum discussed and all despaired at last. So I thought Spb and Sense cannot live together.
Someone wrote in this forum that s/he still uses HTC because there is XDA-developers. I join his/her comment.
Sense is sluggish and causes the same in SPB!

SPB has been good as gold as has sense (only time sense ever lags is when it loads upon startup).
In fact if you install Chainfire's revamped graphics drivers for Leo, SPB works with 3D acceleration on which it didnt do without the patch!

Seriously, download the trial. Don't just buy it before trying it. I downloaded the trial and instantly loved it, but went off it after a couple of days. I just prefer Sense (we're all different!)
Get the trial first
Good idea Didn't realize it was shareware. I installed it and don't seem to miss anything (that I needed) so can someone please tell me what is not working with SPB Mobile Shell, because obviously I'm either blind or stupid or just don't need the functions that are lost when using SPB vs. Sense.
With HTC HD we could switch between the interface without disabling either. But with Sense it's impossible, I tried all I could and when I switched to SPB, Sense came automaticaly back after launching any apps. So the solution is installing SPB and deleting the shortcut SPB which is in Windows/Start and then go to the settings and Today and then you choose Windows Today and not Sense, then you can launch SPB mobile shell.

The program places a link in root/windows/Start Menu/Programs.
If you have a ROM in another language than English, the folder 'Start Menu' may be named otherwise. E.g. in Dutch it is called 'Startmenu/Programma's'.
Solution: copy the link to the appropriate start folder.
After the move or copy you 'll find the program in Start.
