I'm on an HTC Touch (Elfin).
I just installed SPB Shell 3.5.3, and for some reason SPB Carousel is not 3D, as it should be, and same with the in built message viewer.
How should I fix this? Or is there some issue with the elfin (3D Drivers etc)?
I read it here "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=608209", that if we change the model name in \Windows\modelname.txt, it would work. But, my elfin doesn't even have such a file. I tried TotalCommander.

This is what I have loaded on my Cingular 8525:
Spb MobileShell 2.0
Spb Pocket Plus 4.0.2 - UltimateMax Icon Set
Spb Phone Suite 1.3.0 Beta1
Spb Diary 2.5.7
Spb Time 2.2.2
Spb Weather 1.7.2 - Stardock Weather Skin
Spb Backup 1.6.3
Spb Insight 1.5.1
Spb Imager 1.6
DinarSoft MemMaid 2.2
Microsoft Voice Command 1.6
CoreCodec CorePlayer 1.2.1 - Just released
SOTI Pocket Controller Pro 6.01
As you can see, I support Spb with all my lunch money.....
I've used Pointui 1.02b but it didn't have what I wanted plus a few bugs that didn't like me....
I've used both extensively and it right now I have to say SPB. But I can see Pointui being better if they ever allow full customization and have an option to be a plugin or take over the today screen
I have to say I had never heard of pointui until this thread and having looked at the screenshots I have to say YUK !
SPB Mobile Shell all the way.
JMHO.
i love pointui....once they get alot of these bugs ironed out, i think it will be great...
spb mobile shell is great....but kinda pricey, deleted after trial
i think when pointui gets closer to a finished product, and has more functionality, it WILL be better....but as of right now, ignoring the price, spb mobile shell is better...
Hi,
I say you that I am also same as dmj1973. I read all of you and find I am not hared it before read this thread. So I want more information about it.

PointUI was released at 00:00 on new years day, a full ui replacement, its pretty amazing, but I only ever used it on a vga device, so all the graphics were screwed, and I also only used the first version... still though, it is pretty amazing...
how you hadnt heard of it I dont know

So what you're saying is that you're not a big fan of Spb's software?

here's a link to the Pointui site
And thank you all for responding, but i must say i do find Pointui slightly more of a simpler approach.
Point UI is a lot more touch friendly than SPB imo,
but then again thats just my taste.
Yeah it is currently lacking customization but besides that i dont have any other things that bug me.
I thought that PointUI was very slick (and liked it alot), but didn't think it was ready for primetime.
For me, PointUI is progressive and will just keep getting better developed.
first used pointUI and liked it but still didnt do all the things i wanted....now i'm sticking with mobileshell its been good to me
Tried Both...Definitely Prefer SPB Mobile Shell
Tried Point UI 1.02b and it was pretty good. But Navigation is so much easier with SPB Mobile Shell. That's not to say PointUI navigation is bad, just that Mobile Shell is much easier - IMHO.
Unfortunately, like PointUI Mobile Shell still has some bugs.
The main advantages of PointUI over SPB are:
- Free for now
- Can be set as default UI on boot (with SPB you have to start it up yourself - not able to do it with Startup link).
The main advantage of SPB Mobile Shell over PointUI is:
EASY (and somewhat configurable) navigation
I also prefer the "look" of SPB's today screen replacement (called Now) over PointUI's, but that's a matter of taste.
Same here -- I tried PointUI also. While it was nice, I just found there to be too many screen taps to get where I wanted to go. I'm sure it will get better as the development progresses, but I'm sticking with Mobile Shell for now too.
Hi I want to know what is the different between manila 2D and spb shell !!
i have spb shell installed on my touch 3G! I want to know if I install the manilaa 2D it turn the touch flo2D to touch flo 3D and which is the better? manila or spb
Manila2D
Hi
I have tried all three shell softwares on my HTC Tytn II, which is QVGA. I have settled with Manila2D. I did prefer Manila3D in terms of functionality but I had a few problems with it and I have not had any problems with M2D. I did not like the functionality of SPB Mobile Shell but that is of course just my opinion. Manila2D works much better when it is cooked into a ROM. I think that this is also true of Manila3D.
Cheers

Is it just me who finds things like SPB mobile shell and the like more hassle than they are worth?
Manilla 2d is a different program than manilla 3d, so know it won't turn the program into manilla 3d.
....and most of the time the program is better cooked into a rom, it really just depends on the rom though. Garmin has a rom for the kaiser that runs m3d better than roms that have it cooked in.
I just want to know could I install manila 3D in HTC 3G or Not ?
and If I install It WHETHER My touch flo 2D turn to Flo 3D like diamond ?
Hi
Hi
You may be able to install M3D on your device, I can't advise more on that so it may be a case of trial and error unless somebody else can advise otherwise. If you were able to install M3D on your device you would effectively have both M2D and M3D installed, so you may have some problems with internal storage space. You can't turn M2D into M3D. It may be better to seek out a ROM without M2D or with M3D cooked into it.
Cheers

I have tried mobile shell and liked it,but i like the album on TF3D very much.
Or not the album but the front page of the album where you can flipp trough
the pics without opening the album.
Is it possible to use something like that on SPB 3.0?
All the other albums i have tried sucks compared to TF3D..
Really wanna use mobile shell,but not with the albums/image wievers out there.
Have tried resco and htc album but it is not the same.
you can download spb 3.0.1 beta and run it on your htc. But first, you must disable TF3D program.

But what's the difference?
Have already tried SPB 3.0,and the 3.0.1 beta have nothing to do with the album?
Right now i have TF3D and SPB 3.0 on my htc,so i can
change between them when i like,but the problem is that i want the htc album i have in tf3d on the mobile shell...
Is it possible to create a cab of the album in TF3D so i can install it on SPB 3.0?
I would like to run both HTC Sense and Spb Mobile Shell, but no matter what I do, they just do not work together or coexist. Before, I used to to run both application with MSToggler and SecondToday.
I have written to Spb and apparently they are working on other projects...
Is there any solution to this?
Thanks,
I run SPB 3.5, and indeed it doesn't work together. Sense is being inactivated as you install SPB. But you can access quite a few HTC apps still. Just by looking for them in the windows map on your device, you can also manually add shortcuts to them in SPB.
Examples of apps that do work:
- Albums
- Camera
- Video camera
- Footcam (of the footprints suite, though this doesn't work completely well...)
- Facebook
- Twitter
Apps that do not work:
- Footprints
- Audio manager
I just use different software for audio, footprints I won't use at least in the near future.
Hello
I´ve installed TFDetacher apps in my HD2 end they work both. You must create a shortcut on today MobilleShell to go to HTC Sense and must create another shortcut un today htc sense to go SPB Home.
Sorry my bad english. I´m portuguese.

For some reason I do not want to go!
Hi there,
newbie here!
For some weeks now I have the HTC Touch pro....great phone...a bit slow sometimes and needs some tweaking as I have seen and read about.
I already have made some mod's to the TF3D (transparent clock and slider, Background for all pages) but I was wondering: Is manilla a different name for TF3D? Or is it a tweaked OS ?
Do I need manilla to alter some things on my phone?
Can I tweak TF3D myself? What programs are needed for that?
The files for the transparent clock are something like: 234sae6_manilla
No extention! How to added them. Adding .jpg is not working!
Thanks for some answers in advance!
Greetings from Holland!
Mike
(PS: sorry if my typing is a bit of !)
Manila is the codename of TouchFLO.. Manila 2D (M2D) is TouchFLO 2D, and Manila 3D (M3D) is TouchFLO 3D..
If you don't know what is codename, it's a name from the developers before they will give the name for that product. For example the HTC Touch Pro's codename is HTC Raphael. Dopod 900, Qtek 9000, O2 Exec, etc have the same codename : HTC Universal. Sometimes the codename are the same as the product name (Microsoft Windows 7, HTC Legend, HTC Desire etc)
Manila is an application which runs on top of Microsoft Windows Mobile operating system, which replaces the today screen, just like the Spb Mobile Shell, so it is NOT an operating system, the OS is still Windows Mobile.
Once you got the file, you don't need to add extension, just copy to "Windows" folder under "My Device"
TIP : Disable Manila first, sometimes you need to soft-reset if the file access is denied
NICE! That explains a lot!
So a any ROM on this forum contains the OS (Windows mobile) with a custom manila version!
So I can custom manila myself!
But how do I do it? Is there a manila manual on how to change/customize it?
Or how to at tabs to manila?
