Since I'm using Kaiser, I'm just going to put this under Kaiser General. Feel free to move where it is appropriate.
I would like to be able to change the item that appears on the Today screen. When HTC home or Spb mobile Shell is installed, they won't let any other item go above them, like a different time plug-in or any other software.
I was wondering if there is a solution to that.
TIA
Only plugins that can override the HTC home plugins top setting.

How about SPB Mobile Shell? Is there a way I can add an item beside HTC Home above the SPB Mobile Shell?

I was wondering if it is possible to put the HTC Home screen as a plugin for SPB Mobile Shell. I was wondering if the HTC Home could be put in a programs folder?

Yep, it's possible - did it myself a while back by editing the registry as follows:
HKLM > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Today > Items > HTC Home
Change Type from '5' to '4' and it will show up as an available plugin.
Nice, I was looking for this for a while and I finally discovered the solution.

Hello,
this is my first post here *yippi*
Thank you for that very nice tip.
It works fine on my mda vario III.
Nice.... Good Job. It's work
Another option is to also use Ultimate Launcher, it allows placing multiple today plugins as separate tabs. You could then use both HTC Home, Shell or any other plug ins.
I love the new SPB mobile shell and believe they have really created the best user interface out there so far, but my only gripe with the program is that it is a program that you have to launch or go to first. I would love to do to things with this app that I was curious if anyone else has done:
1. Have this program or another program running on top of the Today screen or acting as the today screen.
or
2. Be able to press okay through all my programs and end up at SPB Shell instead of the home screen.
Either one of these two options would suit me really well. I love you guys, thanks for you help.

Please fidn the existing thread discussing the SPB Mobile Shell 2.0 and post there.
Hi,
I new at this. Was wondering if anyone could please advise on how i could use spb mobile shell as a default instead of the HTC touchflo 3D on the touch pro. thank you in advance.
You would need to go to start>settings>today>items>uncheck tf3d>check spb mobile shell.
Thanks will try it out.
You can actually run them both as SPB Mobile Shell is not a today screen replacement. It does have a 4 item tabbed today plugin, but it is not necessary to run SPB Mobile Shell.
MS by default will start when your device is unlocked. You can then map one of your soft buttons to bring up mobile shell once it has been minimized. When minimized you can use TF3d as normal.
I am doing the same with PointUI Home2 and MS.
Cheers.
thanks for the reply club.
I am aware of that, but getting sick of pressing the spb menu after every call or when i press the home button. Wanted the spb home tab set. If you know what i mean.
Hi,
I have a problem. I'm currently using a HTC Touch Pro and installed recentle the Mobile Shell V3.0. But I can't get back to my original (tf3d) today screen. When i try to get back, the only thing i see is the HTC Wallpaper and a shortcut to get back to spb home. How can i get to my original today screen without uninstalling the mobile shell??
SPB Mobile Schell 3
Me too!
I have installed SPB MS and when i have unistalled it the TF3D wasnt work anymore.
Someone have a solution please?
Tanks
PS: i have a HTC Touch HD with original rom ITA.
The only way I found to get both to work concurrently was to disable Mobile Shell from loading on startup. Let TF3D load, then manually start Mobile Shell after a soft reset.

Verified here too.. Then again, I don't think I'll be using TF3D anymore.

Already done! .. but SPB MS continue to start!
Any suggestion?
Hit Launcher on main menu. Find the SPB Mobile shell icon and click on it. It will direct you to a new page. Now click on the right lower aspect of the screen (right soft key). Click on "exit shell". Your touch flo should load up and there you can select touch flo or spb with ease. You do have to redo the whole procedure everytime you soft reset

All is done but TF3D dont start.
I have the left soft key "Message" and the right soft key "Spb Home" on bottom of the screen.
On top of the screen i have "Touch to start TouchFLO 3d" and if i touch the screen it say: "TouchFlo starting" but not start!
if i push the left soft key "Message" it seems "impossible open the file: MSPOUTLOOK calendar ... etc.."
I think a must do a soft reset also if i dont wont.
thanks in advance
In my opinion I would say just remove MS3... To be honest I was not impressed. at first I was like WoW how flashy..... It even built in a way to Design your own page.... but after playing with it for a few hours I took it off. It was good enough for what it was but just not there yet for me. I LOVED MS2. As long as it had Greatbal's TF2D Theme on it. The best part about it was how snappy it was. it has a great response time... But I didnt like the integration or customization of it. It does not allow to you change the items in the carousel (AKA Remove). I didnt like how you only had the "Personal" home screen that you could slide left and right... I think they should have made it like MS2 more where you could just slide left and right to get anywhere. The bottom bar is a waste of space... and the top bar should not ev en bee there. MS2 if I remember correctly covered the start menu and this one should as well... I dont like that it doesn't integrate with PI8 (but then again TF3D does not either) But my biggest concern is that it does not even allow you to put other SPB products into the carousel.
For me I think I will wait a while and let some of the GREAT designers in here fix MS3 and make it better. I think that SPB did a pretty good job of giving users what the want... but they are not quite there yet. I am going to stick with just TF3D until I see some more improvements on this product.
Have a Great day,
SoBBie
Screen Rotation Delay
MS 3 is a nice interface & I do like the carousels. The deal-breaker for me is the 5 second delay when I slide out/in my keyboard. WAY TOO LONG.
SPB Mobile Shell 3 is great but yes the delay when switching from portrait to landscape is horible! Even worse, if you are in landscape in Opera then hit the home button, SPB 3 gets stuck in landscape till you either reset or launch Opera again then switch to portrait
I am currently happily running smaberg’s Touch X rom, and would like to have the option to use SPB Mobile 3. However if I where to install it onto the phone would all the HTC settings get messed up and deleted? Or is it just a matter of unchecking Touch-IT in the today screen and checking SPB?
Sorry this may be a really stupid question, but one I honestly do not have a clue about.
Thanks.

Install TFDetacher and use it to toggle TF3D. Install SPB Mobile Shell 3 and SPB Mobile Shell Toggler.
Then install AE Button Plus and bind one softkey to Toggle TF3D and Toggle Mobile Shell - then you can switch with a simple softkey press.
A good advice, but it doesn't quite answer his question ;-)
"is it just a matter of unchecking Touch-IT in the today screen and checking SPB?".
---> Yes, you can just disable Touch Flo 3d in the today screen and use MS3 as replacement today screen. Or you can combine both with the advice above.
can we make spb mobile as panels?
It´s better to install a ROM without TF3D if you has decided to only use SPB Mobile Shell.
Excellent, thanks for the advice.
I assume that installing SPB 3 will not remove / bugger up any on the TF3D settings?
Also does have dual systems make the overall device noticably slower?
no because you switch off one UI so it will only run one. I think that TouchFlo is thee faster of the too, but i am not sure...
I'm running Jack's 3.8m with SPB 3.0.1. Unchecked in today the TF3D box and everything is ok. They are not interfering each other and all settings from TF3D are untouched.
BR!

Ok..followed this advice and I have to say that its sound, and very good.
However for some reason using this method, when I disable TF3D I cannot use the start menu in SPB or any panel....
Any advice?
I'm running Ijte's Touch-It 10.2, and decided to install SPB MS 3 to check it out. Found out I liked it and it's been running on top of the TF3D ROM with no performance issues or messed up settings.

Check under Settings >SPB Mobile Shell >System. "Override Start" should be set to "No"
