Yes it is normal that is one of the main complaints of PointUI. I used it when i was still using WM6.1 simply for the scrolling effect however ever since I installed 6.5 I don't see any reason to have it anymore because it does use too much memory.

Thanks for the reply Ferdiebaq. Then I think, I need to find out someother app which does the job of a good Toiday screen UI.

Don't get me wrong basentv. PoiuntUI is a great program that's better than some other commercial products and it's free. You should give some time to try it out before removing it.

I've been running Home2 for a bit now and all I can say is WOW! I love it! It is soooo customizable. It kicks the sh*t out of TF3D2, IMO. The only thing it's missing is a Weatherpanel like applet. If someone can figure that out, that'd be tits!!

I'd like to know how you got the clock to go outside of the dock... I was never able to figure that out :/

This looks really cool. WM6.5? Just the name of the design?

Thanks for the POST. Been looking for this. THANKS again.

Erm... surely this is warez?

yes, they seem to like warez on this site.

WHat ROM are you using this on? Is there any benefit to using a 6.5 rom with this, or may as well go back to a stock rom?
Cheers.

I am using Valkyrie v3.9 XPERIO, definitely you get benefits of 6.5 along with spb. I used spb 3 with earlier ROMs of 6.1 & 6.5 & experience was awesome.
Cheers
PS : It is a trial version.

Jezza0 said:

Not really... you can find it here too:
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/pocketpc-software/mobileshell/
And download a trial:
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/pocketpc-software/mobileshell/download.html
When you choose cab install, you get the same file as the link provided above here....
Without a license it works only for 30 days, so it's not warez. When you use or provide a serial (for Mobile Shell 3, which still work), then it's warez.

Very true!
Thanks Gwystyl for posting clarification for the members having doubts.

Thanks for the clarification. I've tried it out, and it does not seem to offer a huge amount extra over SPB 3.0 panel, which is freely available elsewhere. I'm gonna stick to that

Can this be set as a separate panel, i.e., not a skin for the Windows 6.5 Home Panel? I mean like the initially introduced Korean version was a separate panel, can this version be set the same way?

I just love it - it's 100 times better than any Manila. After i installed it for me Manila with it's bugy Leo is dead.

What free 3.0 panel? Is this the modded korean one?

Yes, I believe that's what he is talking about.
Been using 3.5 for a day now and I definitely like it better than the modded Korean 3.0 version. However, from my point of view, these are the cons:
1. Consumes about 20% more resources, leading to faster battery drain.
2. Lack of individual panel. I hope there will be a fix for this soon.

I totally agree. To be honest, Manilla, with it's near lack of customization is becoming archaic. But I bet versions will soon be as customizeable as SPB MS. Till then, bit hard for me to understand why people would choose it over SPB MS.

all the 3d feutures are included in spb mobile shell 3.5 too, as i can tell the inly thing that is new in 5 is the animated contact tab and the change wallpaper in home tab. If u allready got 3.5 go to graphic settings and set "use hardware accelerator" to on, and if u have a g-sensor phone u can allso use that 2

hope it still supports windows 6.1

SPB has gone far ahead with this release. People are just loving it..looking forward

Guys,
Just in case if u didn't saw thsi official preview video explaining the new function then see this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bE7vkxJnKY&feature=related
Must watch excellent presentation i have ever seen.

i would like integration with RSS as some widget you can put on the first page.
i prefer all-in-one solution (facebook, rss, some photo contacts, agenda, some shortcuts... in one screen). At least we have 3,6" windows mobiles as HD2 with hi res.
I think Touch flo is step back,
Also it will be good to make easier widget change or resizing like Samsung's touchwiz or lot of different widgets.
I hope MS5.0 still support "free connection" update unlike Android or Touchwiz.

I just hope I won't have to work months to convert all my stuff lol
EDIT: oh, and I also hope they'll finally give a meaning to the currenly almost useless tasks widget

i didnt even know version 4 is out yet!

they're going straight from 3.5.3 to 5.0... looks like in some eastern cultures the number 4 means bad luck, so they're skipping it

I noticed in the second youtube link in this thread, there is mention of the widget sdk. The description was kind of sketchy, but it could mean that developers will now have a platform to develop their own widgets (instead of just skinning existing ones) which could really open up the platform. It would be truly great to see what some of the developers here can do!

same old SPB only with 3D crap
i think its all marketing trick..
why "5"? you have only added 3D.. so.. why?
its not that you have developed new concept.
i think its the same old **** with only 3d cover.

Well, for instance, if they add multitouch I may go back to SPB... otherwise, I stay with Sense.

Which is better wad or spb shell???

hi I'm currently using spb shell 3.5 but I saw that there are very beautiful skin also for wad2. so my question is which is better between this two program??? i saw spb shell is more expensive than wad, but I want an opinion from those who have used their which is the most customizable? which is the lightest at the startup?
thanks a lot

I used both. Each of them can be customized and there are plenty of themes floating around for both of them (a bit more themes for wad). I sticked to spb mobile shell cause it seemed a bit faster on my device (HTC Touch HD WM 6.1) and i think it's more eye-candy than wad

THROTTLE LAUNCHER!!!!!!!!
keep going back to it every time!!!!
and check out my themes for it...

THROTTLE LAUNCHER is too heavy... spb is much faster becouse my viva doesn't have the 3d graphical accelerator, the cpu have 264 Mh and little ram, so it work slow (very slow) but i really like it

In my opinion spb shell is absolutely the best...especially if you use it with a sense theme... but i've never tried throttle launcher

SPB MObile Shell cannot be customized very easily, and one cannot create new widgets. Throttle Launcher is very easy to customize and also new widgets can be created easily.

going back to the main question: WAD is very good customizable but SPB mobile shell is faster.

I have been forced to live SenseUI free and have returned to some of my old skinning apps that I used pre-Sense. One of those is Wisbar Advance, made by Lakeridge who also makes WAD.
My recent experience with Lakeridge is they are dead. I made a few posts there and received no replies. My last post was a request for updated skinning info which has been there, unanswered, for more than a week. The forum is flat, there is no support there anymore and no one is skinning it anymore. Worse, all the links to old skins are all dead. Only a small pittance of skins that have been posted to Lakridge's forums are still available for it.
Because of this I created a skin myself, ironically enough. I actually released it today. Its here. Gratuitous plug: here is the promo flyer for it. But, I think no one is interested given the lack of activity around Lakeridge's site itself.
So a big caution with WAD. Its a dead end. Personally I've never liked WAD, I found it very buggy, but this was like 2 years ago. I have always liked Wisbar Advance though, and used it extensively before I got a HD2 and Sense.
That is not to say that SPB is any better, though. The difference is SPB abandoned their customers long ago, so nothing much is different. See the conversation I had with Vostradamus in his thread towards the end. Maybe because of this, the skinning community for Mobile Shell is very much alive here at XDA.
Now that I have been using Mobile shell for a few months, I have to say, thanks to the great artists at XDA, I find I like Mobile Shell far more than I like SenseUI. I will never be going back.

i like both...especially SPB mobile shell
