SPB Mobile Shell... Can you make it your today screen?

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.

Spb Mobile Shell

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.

SPB Panel + SPB Mobile Shell

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if it is possible to get the SPB mobile Shell 3.0.1 as a panel. I am currently using itje's Touch-it 13 and I downloaded SPB panel from sony ericsson website.
So I carried out an experiment: I installed spb panel and then when on spb panel I installed I installed spb mobile shell 3.0.1. I thought I did it!!
Nah it didn't work, I just installed spb mobile shell that's all, the spb panel was gone
So anybody thinks its possible?
If anyone is wondering why I want SPB mobile shell? It's because spb have better Facebook integration and also for this http://www.mobilecustom.fr/forum/index.php/topic,2398.0.html
Also is it possible to get winmo UI as a panel or the Touchflow Leo as a panel?
Thanks

There is an SPB mobile Shell 3.0.1 panel at sony ericsson korea. But its in korean.

See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=541280
Delete the file SpbMobileShell.txt in the installed path, it will become english version.

It's not that hard to switch the Korean version to English and well worth the effort. This is a huge improvement on the original SPB mobile shell panel and finally gives me a home screen I am happy to show off to people without loading any custom roms.
Here is another link that points to a fix for the SMS/MMS button problem, I don't remember if I found that fix in the panels & themes thread or on the following link. http://xperiancer.blogspot.com/2009/07/spb-shell-panel-30-for-xperia.html

Thanks guys! It is really awesome to have both Touchflow and spb at the same time. I wish there was a way to get either leo or windows 6.5 UI as a panel. Anybody has any ideas about that?

[Q] SpbMobileShell3 Problem

I install Spb Mobile Shell 3 on my Xperia but it is not in a panels...i cant find him ....what to do???
sorry for bad english...
Thanks

SPB Mobile Shell 3 generally doesn't work as a panel. If you want it as a panel you have to either download the official one from SE (version 2) or look for the korean version 3 which should be available here at xda. The current version 3.5 is definitely not available as a panel.

How does it work...?

How does what work? Downloading one of the versions I mentioned

If you get SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 from SPB's website, you install it and it should replace the standard Windows Mobile today screen on the first panel, if not, try to open the start menu and launch SPB Home.
As altae mentionned, there is also a free panel but it is just an alternative Today (main) screen and doesn't offer much customization or full menu system replacement like the full version.

I'm not sure about the version but from http://ruslyfriend.blogspot.com/2010/11/xpure-applications-for-wmpure-xt.html, there's a newer SPB Panel than X1. Hope it helps.

[Q] SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.5

I already uninstall SPB Mobile Shell v3.5.1 and install SPB Mobile Shell v3.5.5 to my x2. After i install i try to run the SPB.Before that i'm using GrowingPanel. But my panel always came out as home.not SPB home like the picture as i attach.
My phone also unstable after i install. Hmmm...How to fix that?? It's the software are compatible with x2??

i see in this pic that windows is 6.5 ... so there are 2 conclusions:
1)you are on the old ROM 6.5 and in this case the prog. will run fine (choose the default windows panel and from setting- home- and choose the right tab there -click on spb shell)and you would get it without any problems.
2)if your device has 6.5.3 like the rest of us , then i don't recommend you to use the program as you won't be able to click start menu icon ... as the program will take all the screen.

How do i know version window mobile on my device? 6.5 or 6.5.3 ??
i check my phone at system>about
-------> "window mobile 6.5 profesional"

it is so simple ....
old rom 6.5 has start button on top like here
new rom has start button like here

ok..now i know...i'm using winmo 6.5.3.
2)if your device has 6.5.3 like the rest of us , then i don't recommend you to use the program as you won't be able to click start menu icon ... as the program will take all the screen.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ok i need to uninstall SPB Mobile Shell v3.5.5. and install back SPB Mobile Shell v3.5.1.
tq.

i used spb 3.5.5. the performace of X2 with spb 3.5.5 wasnt the best. i mucjh like the 3.5.3 version.

it's spb v3.5.3 can be a panel same like spb v3.5.1 ??
what a the different with this two version??
you have screen shot..?
if posible...please share the link...
tq.

no it cant be a panel. panels are unstable and take space. if you want to use spb shell you better make hardreset and use clean wm6.5.3 with no panels and slidewied. they boath suck. when you have clean wm6.5.3 ypu simpley instal spbshell 3.5.3 and its fine. i have noticed the batery life isnt the best with spb shell. i use clean wm6.5.3 with titanium today screen. its farely stable, farely fast, hase alot of ram free, has almost 180MB internal space free... if you get sick of panels and slideview you search the X2 section of xda forum for making the phone clean and stable..

To "gbajzelj"
Hi my name is Sebastian

nice links

Xperia X2 is basically sucks.
my xperia X2 only supports SPB 3.5.1, All other versions have bull **** performance

The version of SPB Mobile Shell pre-installed on your Xperia X2 is an modified version specially customised for Sony Ericsson, with support for panels.
The latest version of SPB Mobile Shell, 3.5.5, downloadable is a generic version without panel support. Also when installed, it runs in trial mode, and requires a product key that you can obtain from SPB.

I've parted from SPB mobile shell long ago after experiencing issues in performance

I'v just added the generic SPB 8 to my X2A and really like it ... and I haven't noticed any performance issues that faizulrahim mentioned ...
However, just for information, the selection of backgrounds only works with the lifestyle and not the professional style ... also, it may be my imagination, but when I switched from professional to lifestyle, I noticed that the battery life was less ... only lasting a little over a day instead of 2 days -- but I wanted to ask if anybody else noticed that -- or was it just my usage when I switched to the lifestyle?
Anyway, I find the generic SPB 8 a lot nicer -- especially the carousel part ...
