spb mobile shell and backlight control button

I would assign the spb mobile shell backlight control to a button but I don't know how . I search in the forum but I found anything that help me. I believe I can do so creating a shortcut pointing at the menulauncher.exe file in the sbp mobile shell installation folder, but i don't know the parameters to use. Thanx anyone can help me

I'd love to be able to do this too. Anyone have a suggestion?

Try going into your settings folder, click on the buttons icon. If you have SPB Pocket Plus also, it add additional options. It's been a long time since I used just the basic features for re-maping my buttons but give it a try.

I use pocket plus to do this on my kaiser... works great. It cycles through the brightness levels. I've also set the same button so when i hold it down it turns the screen on/off

Remove HTC today plugin

Hi all,
I have an 02 XDA Orbit 2 and I installed on it HTC Home plugin.
Now, I wanted to change to SPB Mobile shell but when I tried to uninstall HTC Home plugin it could not uninstall it. Infact when i did a soft reset the HTC Home plugin was still there.
If I do a hard reset will this be removed and will CO Pilot be reinstalled since it was there when I first got it but now I uninstalled it since I could not get a proper street on the map I had installed.
Another question is whether I can run SPB Mobile shell when the phone starts up since I need to click on the small icon on the bottom right hand side to launch it.

You can remove HTC today plugin from the today screen and leave it installed. Mobile shell will work like this with no problem. This is how I run mine.
There is a program called SPB Watcher that makes it so that whenever the today screen wants to show it calls up Mobile shell. I found it through the SPB website. But I believe it is somewhere on these forums.

Hi, just go to setting in your spb, click on mobile spb shell, then tick the box that says 'show the now screen when device wakes up'.
hope this helps you.

Ok
let me look

Hi
I do not think that will have any effect since it mine was ticked. I still have the click on the small incon on the right hand side.
But anyway, I will try to find that software SPB Watcher.

Move SPB Mobile Shell position from Today screen

I have SPB Mobile shell installed so that it is on my today screen. when you go to the Today Settings screen, the top item is Date then below that I have Spb Mobile Shell, below that HTC Home. When you click on any of these the Move Up/Move Down options are greyed out. Is there any way to enable these? Reason being, is that I have AlDate installed and would like to have it top of the list. As soon as I try to move it above HTC Home the Move Up option becomes greyed out.

found the answer, if anyone else needs to know:
Change the value of HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HTC Home\Type from 5 to 4, then move the plugin as usual.

Windows mobile Close TOMTOM Automatically

Hello,
I have an HTC Touch Cruise with windows mobile 6.1. I use it on my motorcycle with TOMTOM NAVIGATOR, and earphones. I config TOMTOM, push the today screen and lock my phone. It works perfect for 10 min.
After the 10 min, windows mobile displays a message:
"TOMTOM NAVIGATOR is still running an using the battery would you like to close NAVIGATOR", you must aswer the question with YES or NO.
If you do not answer the question, windows mobile close the NAVIGATION software. > very irritating....
Is there an solution to disable this battery saving function, so the NAVIGATION software must never stop automatically...
Thanks

I think you should go check out the Power configuration. it seems to be that after 10min the phone goes in standby mode.

Yes just power off and wait.

no solution
No that not the problem, i hav already tried. Look also at the picture

well, then it's caused by the software it self. did you go through the setting of tomtom? i'm sure you can disable it. but how do you use it when you go to the today screen?only with the headphones?

ah, now I understands this. so you minimize tomtom window!
I was so shure something is stealing focus from it but you've been doing it yourself
well then solution is easy, tomtom has to be on top. There is no option to disable this popup feature.
You need a diferent screen screen locker, you can't minimize TT (going to today screen)
try the one I am posting here, map it to a button (long press green)
this is from PHM tools, quite old, it will blank screen (no input possible)
to unblock you need to press 'action' button.
If this won't work, I am quite sure another will. search forum for one,
eventually you can set up autolock, but that's not too practical, you wound need to wait for it to lock screen before driving.
OR by doing this script:
- you run TT
- start the script and it would:
1. press start
2. press left softkey
3. return focus to TT
try all above options first, if nothing I can write you this script.
