Cant get SPB shell working O2 XDA diamond

I am an almost happy O2 XDA diamond user since yesterday.
However I cannot get the spb shell running.
Its installing and everythings looks fine, so far, but as far as I try to activate the "diary plug-in" = Heute Plug-in (I only have the german version running),
I need to go for a reboot.
Any hints ?
I havent found anything about this issue in the search ? Is it possible the problem is caused by different software in the O2 (german provider) software ?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards

i think you have to disable the TouchFLO 3D in the "today"-settings XD
i have the german version, too.
not sure if heute also calls today in that case

Thanks for the feedback.
How do I deactivate the touchflo?
I can only find touchflo settings, without a setting to switch the today screen off
Thanks in advance

settings(Einstellung) -> Today(Heute) -> Elements(Elemente)
and no problem

Does not always seem to work
Thanks a lot.
i got it working based on your description.
However it is instable. ... after I tried TouchFlo again, it crashed several time, when I deactivated Touchflo and activated SPB again .... strange ....
I think I will staywith the touchflo for the time being ... and hope for some bugfixes in ROM and SPB ;-) (or a new ROM without the O2 changes).
Thanks again. At least I had the opportunity to try the SPB.
Best regards

Problem with SPB Pocket Plus & WM6.1...?

Hi there
Does anyone else use SPB Pocket Plus (latest version V4.0.2 - Dec 07) and WM6.1 and suffer the annoying problem where the today plugin icons don't pickup correctly after a reset?
It's easily fixed by clicking to refresh all tabs, but surely it shouldn't do it???
I'm also suffering a problem whereby not all text messages are received by my phone. (I posted in the General section with no joy - am hoping that you software guys may know if something conflicts?!) It's very strange as the phone lights up as if a text is coming through, then nothing happens. I've tried a Hard Reset and restore to no avail.
Wierd thing is, my mate has a Kaiser on Vodafone UK (V1615) running WM6.0 and he has the same problem - I'm on O2-UK so it's not a carrier problem.
I set his Kaiser up for him with much the same software as mine, including SPB PocketPlus V4.0.2...
I also (I know, I'm sorry!) have a problem with the today screen if I change things... For example, if I change the backdrop via Pictures and Video's, more often than not the phone will hang requiring a stylus reset. Am wondering if this is SPB PocketPlus related???
Any idea's? (Sorry about the multi questions!!)
Cheers

sorry about the double post!

As far as the PocketPlus, I am using it and I haven't had a problem at all with the icons or anything else for that matter. I haven't had any problems with the txt msgs either. You may need to reset the mms server?? I don't know about that, I just remember reading about it in another thread somewhere... As for the backdrop change, that's not a pocket plus related conflict. I am not sure what else you have installed, but I have changed mine multiple times in the past 2 days and haven't had a single problem or anything that told me I had reset or that I needed to soft reset the phone. I would suggest unistalling the Pocket Plus and reinstalling it. I know that I have had to do that before because of one of the other SPB proggies i used had changed some values in the registry for it. Otherwise, I would contact SPB, they would know how to fix it. Unless you didn't purchase it...

Hi Killerbeans!
I'v tried uninstalling and re-installing a couple of times to no avail unfortunately
The only other things I have installed (all bought and paid for!) that startup with the phone are SKTools (set to performance optimisation) and Kasperski AntiVirus...
I might try uninstalling those and SPB and reinstalling them one by one...
Cheers for the response though!

I have been havng the spb problems since 6.1 installation as well (I am with AT&T in the US, original Kaiser).
Thanks for pointing out the "Refresh All Tabs" option...I have to stupidly admit that I was not aware of it and I have been fixing the icons one at at a time....very boring...However, I have no solution to offer to the problem, other than to verify that it is a real one.

Hmm running fine on my kaiser with the hyperdragon roms...
Are you using the "close button" plugin? if so, did you enter tmail.exe and poutlook.exe as exceptions? don;t doing this could lead to problems
for the icons, I have the same problems too sometimes, did you install it on main memory? are the missing icons from programs installed on storagecard?
there is an option under today plugins->advanced, "refresh icons in today plug-in when storage card is inserted." try enabling that and see if it helps
Bartus

Hi guys!
Thanks for the responses! It's 'good' to know it's not just me having the SPB problem, although not good that it's happening at all!
I've installed it on Storage Card (as I have since my Wizard days). Using SKTools I've set the SDDeamon to startup 1st so was hoping that'd sort it... it didn't
I'm glad the refresh all tabs helped!
I've added those exceptions Bartus so I'll report back! I have the refresh icons when storage card inserted already which doesn't seem to work. It is the apps located on the storage card that don't load though so it has do be something to do with that.

Go back to 4.0.1 it doesn't have the problem.

Hi Sirooga
I'll give that a try, if I still have it on my HDD!
Cheers!

Today Plugin Problems
I also use pocket plus on my Tilt, and it is apparently version 4.0.2 build 6227. What really annoys me is that the today plugin worked perfectly on wm 6.0, but after that &[email protected]#! 6.1 upgrade, it works fine for a few hours after I installed a lot of programs and soft resetted a bunch, until I backed up my phone. After using sprite Backup 5 ONCE, it deletes all my tabs and icons in the plugin and doesn't remember them no matter what I do. It still is checked in the today plugins menu, but it isn't there as there is nothing for it to show. SPB's got some serious work to do.

Today plug-ins shoud be installed to Main Memory.
Spb 4.01 works far better than 4.02 IMO.

HTC Viva Weather Tab problem

Hi folks,
I own an HTC Touch Viva. Till saturday, I was able to add locations in the weather tab. I installed M2DC on Sunday. Today, when I checked the weather tab, the 'Add Location' option in the menu was disabled. I tried restarting the phone. But, it is nt working. :-(. There are just two options available in the menu viz.'Settings' and 'About'.
Is it the effect of installing M2DC? In tht case its sad because it is a wonderful piece of s/w.
Pls suggest me as to wot I shud do. Thnx in advance.
I have one more doubt folks. I noticed some performance lag after installing M2DC. Is it normal or did i do something wrong in the installation process?

Hi There,
I am having the same problem. I tried restoring the factory settings, and then the weather tab worked fine for the next 2 to 3 days, then again it was gone. Meanwhile I installed only MS Reader.
I called up HTC Guys, and they said restore factory settings. Doing that again and again is really uncomfortable you know..
Please help if anybody has a clue.
Rgds,
Paritosh

facing the same problem but havent installed M2DC. i dont know what's M2DC, actually.
anyway, i will suggest tp install SPB Mobile Shell 3.0, it has weather app along with many more cities database. (though Shell 3.5 is released, it's not sugested for Viva, it slows down).

WM 6.5 | Part of taskbar missing, HELP!

Hi,
Since a while part of my taskbar is missing. Well, most of the time it is: when I close a program is is totally visible for a very shot while. (See screenshots)
I've allready installed other taskbarthemes using sdkcert, but no improvement..
Anybody got a solution??
Gr,
EdjuH82

I have seen several discussions about making the OK/Close button larger so that you can use your finger rather than the stylus. There may be some ROMS that include this feature and perhaps yours is one of them that is malfunctioning.
I would hard reset if you like your ROM. If not, flash a new one and the problem will go away.
Doug M.

i wouldn't go so far to hard reset anything right away- i would install an sdkcerts and then soft reset and then install a taskbar skin cab found on these forums and see if that fixes things

GustavTheLion's,
I allready installed an other taskbarskin, this didn't help..
The problem accured after I installed a game, which wouldn't work (so I removed it right away. Today I turned the function off that says that puts the time in your taskbar when you run a program and now the problem only accures on the 'home-screen'.
Dwmackay,
An hard reset is an option, but it's the very last one. Maybe there are other sollutions?
Thnx for your replys!

Well guys, I hard-resetted the device and the problem is solved.
But I'm still curious what the problem was, so if anyone can explain it to me.. be my guest

Noob Need Some Help!

Hi guys, I just got my HTC pure a few days ago, and I'm trying to customize it. However I'm kinda a beginner at this, so I was hoping you guys would be kind enough help me with them. I have a series of question and any help is welcome.
1. How do I rotate the Manila screen? I had the TD2 tools install and it works on some programs. I think lyriquidperfection had already given the answer for this but I cant seem to find it. And if you're kind enough, please tell me how the programs work, coz there's no instruction anywhere.. BTW, the enable manila screen in the TD2 doesn't work and I have Manila 2.1.19183217.0 which the forum said should be able to rotate.
2. I cant get Manila to work with programs like S2P or Mircosoft Word, which is unusual since there programs support landscape view , any help with that?
3. I heard there a way for you to put shortcuts into Home tab, how do you do this? And can you change the background picture of other tabs other than just the home tab and the start menu?
4. At&T sent me a text said that I have to choose a data plan or they will choose one for me, which is a bummer. They changed the regulation in September and I didnt know anything about it. They should've sent mail to all customers about this. They didn't even tell me anything when I upgraded my phone until after the Sim card was activated. Anyway, is there a way to get out of this? if not, I read in the forum there a way for you to use your phone as a modern unnotice by AT&T, is this true?
5. Is there a way for the phone to rotate in more than the 2 default directions? When I check the G-sensor, it detects all directions.
6. The last one is flash ROM, there a ROM in this forum that the guys was able to make the Manila Screen Rotate sideway, and he got the music player rotates too. But I dont really like the look of the whole display. So my question is can I install a ROM and use only parts of it functions while left the others the way it is? And Do you think Flashing ROM is a better solution than using TD2 for G-sensor rotation?
Here a link to the ROM: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562942 (I cant post a link since I'm a new user)
Thank you in advance for all your helps!

3) Shortcuts in Manila home screen is a feature of Manila 2.5. You would have to flash to a ROM using this version. It is possible to have the same image in all tabs using one of two methods. Either with bg4alltabs or with HDWall. Search the forum to learn more.
I can't help much with your other questions as most are rotate based and i don't bother with that!

Thanks DirkGently1 for responding . I actually solved number 1, 2, and 5 which are all about rotation. I edited the registry of some programs and used G-config for the rest. Somehow it worked like a charm. For some reasons TD2 Tools didn't seem to work on my phone. For #6, it turned out I have to unlock my phone to be able to Flash ROM and I'm just happy with the way my phone is now so maybe in the future. Still #4, does anyone knows how to get out of the data plan?
