Can this app be made for ppc too ?! It would be nice if it would interact all the time with the screen, when browsing through programs or TouchFlo or SPBMobile SHell, to have this water effect on the screen. Can this be made ??!

Pretty sure that one was just doing ripples on a background image, not the real interface. If you did have something like that running constantly, think of the cpu overhead! anywho. Good luck finding a willing programmer
hmmm...Thanks...It would be nice if it would only work on a program like spb mobile shell not on the entire windows mobile.

I was reading the reviews of the new Spb Shell Mobile app, it seems similar to what is being accomplished by the iPhone mod. The Spb Shell Mobile is one app and to achieve the iPhone mod you need at least five apps (CLauncher, Phone Alarm, Spb Time, Wisbar Adv, Wisbar Desktop). One con stated about Spb Mobile Shell is the amount of memory used. How much memory is being used on the iPhone mod?

I dont' see why you need both clauncher and WA/WAD. I think its just CLauncher or Phone Alarm (maybe both?) or WA/WAD. Not sure how SPB Time figures into it.
abasu2003,
What I have read is that it takes Clauncher, Phone Alarm, and Wisbar Adv to make the main screen (pic 1) and Wisbar Advance Desktop and Spb Time to make the Lock screen (pic 2) plus the clownfish pocket theme if you want that look.
SPB Shell is awesome!
too bad it doesnt work on wm03, its nice to use on wm05
I love Shell. I use Diary and it incorporates right in! Great work SPB!
SPB Shell is a good (In Principal) but maybe you should checkout the the forum, it's got a few bugs, it's third party support isn't that great either (at present).

Then again I haven't paid for it, I'm on the fifteen day trial, I would have bought it bought it but maybe I'm just slight miffed because I've got to hard reset my phone due to the problems I have had with it.
I only use Wisbar Advanced and Desktop to get the Iphone effect! I have around 20meg free on my xda orbit.
i'm trialling spb shell - and it's made me much happier with my Prophet. Reall much happier. Not only looks better, but the one handed operation is really starting to improve my relationship with the device. I still wish the dialer had bigger buttons - but otherwise, it looks like i'll be spending the 30 USD in a few days time.
What is the difference between SPB pocket plus 3.2 and SPB mobile shell 1.0? Does anyone recommend one over the other? Or both can be used together?
Please advise, thanks!
Hi both can be used together they dont really compete with each other more like complement
this thread has more
http://www.spbclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3941
anyway ive got both and Diary and they work very very well

half off topic here but, i bought their pack of spb weather, diary, time, and pocket plus a while ago, i only use weather (no other uk freeware) and time (best software for my uses) nowadays. all spb products are very big and use ram, claunch and wm5newmenu and today agenda are much better and freeware,
back to topic, mobile shell, well i installed it, played with all the options, and eventually, i gave up trying to work out its purpose. all i could see that it does is give you a big clock image, notifications, battery and signal meters when you wake up the device (which you have to exit to do anything) it's sort of like a today screen before the real today screen, but with less info. other than that it give you the option to use your ppc with normal mobile phone style menus
I ditched shell in favour of pocket plus. The shell was too much of a memory hog. Install them (pocket plus first) and use the buzz dev Task Manager to see what I mean.
I like pocket plus with the BBC feed used in spb weather with the diary plug-in. I used to use cLaunch but prefer the flexibility of spb.
They can both be used in harmony and shell also allows you to integrate non spb today plug-ins into pocket plus (well, some). SPB shell is similar to, but not as sophisticated as, Wisbar Advance Desktop, and spb pocket plus is a launcher foremost - but you may also add to it spb weather/diary/sms/ etc. . .
I tested shell for a while but opted not to use it, but by all means give it a shot, loads of people seem to really like it.
After all, it is only my opinion.

I don't think thats a screenie of 3.0 or if they are even saying thats a screen of it--cause that's the spb panel for xperia.
That's just from the Xperia...
Well if they'll speak to me I'll check it out when I'm there at GSMA
I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how this plays out. I've tried most of the various shells/skins, but keep coming back to Mobile Shell.
I'm particularly curious to see how the Facebook integration will play out. As we all know too well, there's no really good Facebook apps for WM (although I know some here have tried and continue to try.) It'd be nice to have it integrated directly into my phone's UI instead of having to use the iPhone-optimized site.

I do the same. I just hope they add the most requested feature: "Allowing the Mobile Shell to display appointment notifications".

I want it!!!
Duplicate post...
That looks great. I wonder when it will be released? I hope they fix the bug (in 2.1) regarding notifications. Then it will be perfect.
It is slightly confusing, I hope it will not be overcomplicated.
Like anything else, I think once we get our hands on it, it will make sense. From what I have been reading it looks like deployed to OEM partners at the end of Feb, and to end-users in March. End-users that purchased with 90 days get free upgrades (that would be me! )
bah.
mobile shell had several problems, and still remains imho. No sms suite, too much battery-draining fancy effects (will see...), poorly documented, poor customizations and ridiculous integrations even with spb other programs (phone suite 1st of all). As far as i see, 3.0 doesn't improve any of these... adding some kiddish inutilities like a "facebook integration"... Did they mean something like "ehi, I'm really bored to upload on my phone contact pictures, now I will left manila because with ms3.0 I can download from facebook! ". Guys be serious
I will try it, but sounds crap like previous version

Probably been posted before but I find its nice to get a fresh new post every now and then.
Well I'm impatiently waiting for my new HTC Kaiser as I'm upgrading from an HTC Magician so I'm looking at sprucing it up as soon as I get it. I know how programs get outdated and replaced so often in the WM world and I havn't updated my Magician in a long time. All I had was spb diary & weather, AE Button, cl launch, pocket agenda on my Magician and it did the trick but nowadays it seems so rudementry especially compared to my girlfriends new iphone lol...
I'm not looking to make an exact clone of the iphone, but to steal some of its more useful features such as kinetic scrolling and finger swipes and gestures to make my phone more appealing and finger friendly for day to day use. So far I've found a few very nice efficient and free programs such as icontact and slide2unlock, and some others you have to pay for like SPB Mobile Shell 3 and Vito Winterface, as well as Opera and Skyfire browsers.
Are there any other good programs along these lines? What would you guys suggest? Such as media players and such, as well as game emulators (Big reason why I bought the Kaiser, hope it doesn't let me down!). I can't wait for my Kaiser to finally come in so I can mod the crap out of it. I'd like to remove most traces of the ugly default windows mobile look without bogging my Kaiser down too much.
Thanks!
I cant imagine why an HTC/WM owner should want his/her device look like iphoney...
But in case you want to, have a look on developing & hacking section there are plenty of them

No not to just look like one, mainly to add its finger friendly interface, the iphones gesture based system is the way mobile touchscreen phones should be as far as I'm concerned, very intuitive, but without the iphones limitations, as for looks I would make it look quite different than an iphone as most WM programs are re-skinnable and very modable.
The problem is knowing WM I'll need a nice set of programs to have a fully touch friendly phone, as in phone/texting, contacts, pim, launchers, media, browsers, today plugins, office. So I'm just looking for the best ones atm, I love icontact for one and spb mobile shell 3 looks like it covers most of the others.

Ok
Now I understand
Have a look on the section I told you and if you need any special app I can help you to find it
I´m agree with you
WM for itself is not very good, but with several apps you can have a great device!
Hi,
Does anyone know of an app that will turn the windows contact manager into a series of buttons like the application menu.
It is still very fiddly looking through the contact list.
regards
Lee
I know what you mean. It's very difficult to select a contact because the font size is really small.
I don't know of any fixes but WM 6.5 will sort this out as it is made to be more finger friendly.
The WM 6.5 update is released in early October.
Man.
I dont really want to re flash my device with 6.5 TBH.
I was just hoping one of the developers on here had already done it. Or perhaps a recomendation of a 3rd party contact manager that does it.
I had a basic touchflow on my orbit 2 and that showed your favorite contacts as buttons. I found that really usefull.
Regards
Lee
Well - as for 3rd party software i think noone does it as good as SPB Mobile shell. although it completely alters your screen - no tabs etc etc

Look for SPB Mobile Shell - they have a tutorial video you can see before deciding.
