After the release of the WM 6.5 Build 21500 I´m thinking to try it out. But I have a question:
*Is the SecondToday working on the WM 6.5?
I want to use both TF3D and the standard WM 6.5 Today screen and on the 6.1 it´s working great. But is this working on the 6.5?
Well, can't seem to get SecondToday to load on my Touch IT WM6.5. Tried mToday too but it can't work either.

it is but it makes the system slow.....using both interface makes the system use more resources.....i think a better option is to write a mort script to switch between interfaces
I have solved the problem with TFDetacher, SPB MS3 Toggler and AE Buttons plus. The left softkey toggles Mobile Shell and the right one toggles TF3D.
I can recommend TFDetacher to be cooked into the Valkyrie series (and other ROMs with the 6.5/Titanium and Manilla combo). TFDetacher is the easiest way to use both Manilla and Titanium on the 6.5.

can you write how you did, i have try but i can't get it too work
This is my steps:
1. Install TFDetacher.
2. When it´s installed - open TFConfig and uncheck TouchFLO autostart.
3. Install SPB MS 3.0.1.
4. Install SPB MS Toggler.
5. Install AE Button Plus.
6. Open AE Button Plus and select LSK and handle by AEPlus, open application. Select Toggle Mobile Shell.
7. Do the same with the RSK but select Toggle TouchFLO instead.
Works perfect on my device running Valkyrie 1.8/WM 6.5 21812.

Titanium works fine in 1.8/21812.
With both SPB MS3 and TF3D2 running memory usage is 71% according to HTC Task Manager. Beside both I´m running Total Commander and Task Facade.
With only TF3D2, Task Facade and TC running the mem usage is 66%.
With SPB MS 3.0.1, Task Facade and TC running the mem usage is 66%.
Hibernate command in QuickMenu reduced this to 65%.
In my opinion the TFDetacher is needed if TF3D2 is cooked in. SPB MS Toggler is only needed if the user has decided to install Mobile Shell. It installs in the same folder as SPB MS - i.e cook that in isn´t a good idea because of mismatching folders.
Ergo:
*On ROMs with Titanium and TF3D2 onboard: cook TFDetacher in for easy switching.
*Don´t cook the SPB MS Toggler in - to work correctly Mobile Shell 3 needs to be present before installation.
AE Button Plus or changes in registry to bind long press on LSK or RSK to "Toggle TouchFLO" can be a good idea if TFDetacher is cooked in.
The good thing with TFDetacher is the fact it makes it possible to run TouchFLO as an application - i.e you have "two" today screens available. It can be a good idea even on 6.1 based ROMs with TF3D. Second Today isn´t needed - TFDetacher frees up the screen (and SPB MS Toggler does that too).
Edit: with CleanRAM level 1 purging the memory usage with only SPB MS3 running besides Task Facade and TC was reduced to 64%.
sjoe tht sounds good... if tht"d work without loosing speed...
any chance u can throw it in ur pot Agent?
i need to delete the mobileshell lnk in startup or???

I have 45 % when i toggle titanium, ms3 and tf3d
I was very satisfied with SecondToday on WM 6.1 but now I flashed to WM 6.5 and have a problem.
I use ROMeOS RAPHAEL WM 6.5 [v2.9.02](180709) the standard screen is the new "Windows Default" and on the SecondToday-Screen should be thinks like Spb Diary and other useful apps.
Here my problem: At WM 6.1 I had no problem with setting the left softkey to ST but now with WM 6.5 I can't set the left softkey on the Windows Default screen to ST.
Any suggestions?
There is an app, that making a tab for TF3D and you can see there your classic todoy screen

Use AE Button Plus and remap the softkey - select long press to do the preferred action. Works perfect.
That would be a solution but what's the name of the buttons below? The "Home" and the "Arrow"?

I recently Flashed to Dutty 6.5 r9
and got a little carried away
and have Touchflo detatcher
secondtoday
and ManilaToday v4.0 <-- the one that uses a manila tab
all working successfully
My take: make the TF3d home button to call 2nd today. Doesn't matter it's 6.1 or 6.5
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila]
"HomeLSKPath"="\\windows\\secondtoday.exe"
"HomeLSKText"="2nd Today"
Tried that way but wm 6.5 overwrite this settings.
Uh? Thought SecondToday doesn't work on WM6.5? Last time I tried I couldn't seem to get it to work.
I've been doing custom ROM's for years. I just got a replacement Fuze because mine had the oily rectangle under the digitizer.
Totally stock 6.1 phone with ATT 5.11.00.00 ROM.
I said...."what the heck...I'll go see if the SPB Mobile Shell has improved"
Absolutely gorgeous. I disable TF3D and run the SPB MS 3.5 and it is pure SWEETNESS!
For anyone that is afraid to flash their phone...this is a great option!
For all you diehard ROMMERS you need to give this thing a look. SPB MS 3.5 is MUCH improved from version 3.
You may find out that there is no need to use a custom ROM when you see this in operation.
Very fast and very intuitive. You can master all the features in an hour or so.
EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And watch your battery drain faster then ever. I will admit it's a nice UI but it still has issues.

Does it drain faster because of the software...or because the GUI is so sweet that it makes you wanna play with the phone more?
Double Post.........delete me please.......
TF3D (Manila) is draining more battery than SPB MS 3.5.
Good thing I use Titanium then isn't it.......
SPB 3.5 and Windows mobile 6.5
Does anyone have experience using a cooked ROM 6.5 and SPB 3.5. I am doing the trial on SPB and it looks great

Yes, I'm using it with Timolol's ROM and it's working good. There are two issues however - I had to delete PositionFix shortcut from Windows/Startup in order to SPB MS display properly. Second problem is conflict between SPB MS and Rhodium dialer - if SPB MS is active, you cannot access call history and contacts from Rhodium dialer.
i used SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 until the trial period, might buy it but waiting if the fuze owners will get an official release of winmo 6.5.
I'm using SPB MobileShell 3.4 on SSK 2 ROM - works great
I haven't noticed battery drain running 3.5 on Scott Crosler's SSK from this may. Really love the new interface. Can't think of much they could change at this point being long time user of versions 2 and 3.
I really liked the 3.5.
I was using it on my WinMo 6.1 Touch Pro.
But there was a huge battery drain and every time I used the S2U locking program and Inesoft Calendar, I always got tskmgr.exe, calnot.exe, and replog.exe errors.
I gave up on it.
I may try again when there's an update, but probably not.
It would have been nice to have been able to keep it.

I wondered that myself, actually. Left the phone on my desk at 90%. Bluetooth off; wireless off; any email-pushing/pulling off. Within 30 minutes, it was at 50%. I hadn't even used it. Since I've removed it completely and using the stock HTC/Sprint thing, I'm back to being able to go all day, talking, pushing, pulling, bluetoothing, without having to charge the battery.
the new 3.5 is fabulous! Normal battery drain for me but I have been running shell for the past 3 versions. Maybe because I am using a clean (no HTC mods) and with Titanium turned off the drain is fairly low. Only 14% reduction in 9 hours of use.
Things they could add to the next version:
Ability to add more than one city to the weather app.
Slide Show option for the picture frame widget.
Skins, skins, skins...
My phone has been unplugged for nearly 24 hours. It's at 71%.
I am currently running NRG's 23016 ROM. TF3D is disabled.
The 23071 and later based 6.5 ROM's move the Start menu to the bottom. This conflicts with SPB MS 3.5's buttons on some pages. Anyone have a fix? Thanks!
I contacted SPB to see if they have a media player with album art in the works. I'll let you know the answer as soon as I get it.

running into the same thing, hope that NRG continues with the 21864 ROMS cuz i love spb... you using mskip's mods as well? very essential...
also u may want to update that signature
FIXED!!!!!!!!
Use Total Commander or File Explorer and goto your \Windows\StartUp folder.
Do you have a link called "ShowcaseSuite.lnk" ?
You can click it from Total Commander and it will give a message that says "e-Natives Suite has been Terminated".
Go back to SPB MS 3.5 and BANG!!!! Da' ***** is gone. SWEET!!!
You can delete the link from your \Windows\StartUp folder and then it won't come back(It is cooked into NRG's ROM).
Now you can use the SPB launcher. Extra SWEET!!!!!!!
I have a problem with notifications when using SPB MS3.5
When a notification pops up, lie an alarm, or new SMS, the notification popup itself is hidden, and the only way to display it is clicking on the top bar, selecting the notification icon and then it's displayed, along with the softkeys.
Anyone has a solution for this? I want the notifications to be displayed on top of the MS3.5 window...
Thanks!

The overlay of the WM6.5 taskbar on MS3.5 is probably because a version of Showcase by amarullz is installed or burned into your ROM. Deleting startup links to either PositionFix.lnk or ShowcaseSuite.lnk to terminate Showcase is a drastic measure...but I used to do it as well until I discovered the following:
If you want to prevent the WM6.5 taskbar from overlaying the MS3.5 home screen, try the following registry edit (depending upon which version of Showcase is burned into your ROM).
Look for the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\e-Natives Technology.
If you have a folder named WM65xFix, you have an early version of Showcase_X. Open the folder...you should have a key called "WindowClasses" that has "Manila;RESCO_EXPLORER_CLASS" as the text value. DELETE the text "Manila;" (and add "RESCO_REGISTRY_CLASS" separted by a semi-colon if you use Resco Registry Editor). Soft Reset. This should take care of the overlay problem.
If you have a folder named Showcase you have the latest version called "ShowcaseSuite". Open the folder...you should have a key called "SUITE_PositionFix_WinClasses" that has a text value of "Manila;RESCO_EXPLORER_CLASS". Delete the text "Manila" and the semi-colon. (Add the value for Resco Registry Editor as above if you use the program) Soft Reset. This should take care of the overlay! NOTE: If you want the "X" icon to CLOSE the program rather than minimize, change the dword value of the key "SUITE_CloseOnTap" to the value of number 1.
Finally, if you have the older version of Showcase_X burned into your ROM and want to upgrade to ShowcaseSuite, terminate Showcase_X as described by nimrocket. Reboot. Use Remove Programs (if you can) to uninstall e-Natives Showcase. Reboot. Install ShowcaseSuite. Make registry edits.
If you don't see Showcase in your uninstall list, again terminate by removing PositionFix.lnk from your startup folder. Reboot. Re-Install Showcase_X available from here (same as link above). Use Remove Programs to uninstall. Reboot. Install ShowcaseSuite. Make registry edits.
HTH!!!
[edit] Added two .cab files as attachments. If you aren't comfortable making registry edits, use ONE of the attached .cab files depending upon which version of Showcase you have installed.
Use the WM65xFix.cab if you have the older Showcase_X installed. Use Showcase.cab if you have ShowcaseSuite installed. [/edit]
Thanks for the registry info.
Personally I couldn't see why I would want another task manager running at all when SPB has a very nice one built in that is every bit as finger friendly as Showcases.
Deleting the Showcase link doesn't cause any grief and is much easier if you don't plan on using the redundant Showcase tools. But if you want Showcase then the regedit may be for you.

You are right...and Showcase is not without a few issues (that don't affect you when you use MS3.5 and the 3D email viewer) I use Showcase because I also use Resco programs. WM6.5.1 changes the layout of the screen because of the "thinner" top bar. This causes programs such as Resco File Explorer to not display properly. I also like ShowcaseSuite because I can use it to make the "X" button terminate programs rather than minimize...so far it's the only WM6.5 tool I know that can accomplish this, but hopefully others will be developed now that WM6.5 is official!
If I install the Tochflo3D on X1 will i be able on uninstall it...also, on youtube, there is a video that uses Touchflo3d on landscape mode too..but that phone doesent have X1 panels anymore....
Also, excuse my illiteracy, but what is manilla?? is it another name for TF3d??
what version is the TF3D i have...(ive downloaded it from one of the threads here only, from a mediashare link)
last Q, how easy wil it be to uremove in case of some screwup....
Thanx a lot to any1 who helps me...
Can i use this on WM 6.5.....
If i upgrade to 6.5... can i still use the TouchFlo 3d...
thanx
Touchflo3d (also known as Manila) is an interface, a skin - like SPB's mobile shell.
The individual panels can be understood as different "pages" of a skin too (even though they are individual applications loaded as needed). So, really I'd say that you would use one or the other. I never enjoyed the panels, mainly due to the slow transition (having to go to the panel picker, then wait for the chosen panel to load)
For that matter, to me Mobile Shell feels like an add-on, you can very easily get to the bare bones of the Windows interface. Manila (at least cooked into ROMs) is a very good interface, and doesn't feel like an add-on, nor does it need time to transition between its "pages".
I've never installed Manila on its own, but as there are plenty of Manila cabs available, you can install & uninstall as needed.
You can also disable the panel manager from starting up on reboots, and disable the panel manager button too
thanx a lot Paul C, i really appreciate your help. From what I understand, the cabs available arent the actual touchflo3d OS, the ones coming with the actual HTC fones, am i right?
Touchflo is not OS, it is just interface that sits on the home screen. It is the same windows in HTC phones, too.
I would recommend flashing custom ROM instead of installing touchflo, because everything is A LOT faster in cooked ROMs.
I am a little confused..there are so many ROMs in the forums...one of the Youtube videos showed X1 with a complete HTC OS..like jkoljo said, it was a much faster..so which is that ROM..allso can i have a OEM ROM..all of the ROMs here are cooked...some official ones??
also, its quite a cliche question, but what is the best ROM for X1..i want a stable, with all the apps working, also, preferbly ladnscape shud work and it should be a panel install also..thanx a ton!
if you dont want to flash a rom, then i would recommend spb mobile shell 3.5.1. you can customize it to have a combination of touchflo and android.
downside, it cost money but well worth it.
SPB mobile shell
Spb mobile shell 3.5.1 is great. You can try before you buy from SPB website or you can use the slightly older free korean version with english hack, OR you can download the 2.x version for free as a panel from Sony Ericsson panel page. at any rate its well worth the money if you do decide to buy it.
Hello everyone,
I just bought a Omnia 2 and I'm planning to get an ultra-ultra-lite 6.5.5 ROM as I really don't like most of the Samsung stuff.
My intention is to get a "off the shelf" UI manager. I've been looking into PointUI and SPB Mobile Shell mainly. I also have seen Vito Winterface and some custom stuff like xda Touch Flo 3D.
Can someone provide a short review on those?
My concerns:
1) Don't get a laggy device because of the UI
2) Do not loose all the memory on the UI management.
3) Not to have a battery eater UI (read bad things about Spb MS)
4) Have a solution that handles not only the home screen but has additional managers for contacts, calendar, media, weather etc..
5) Have a nice applications panel, a home screen with weather, appointments and messages.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
I guess that the UI is a personal choice. I liked SPB MS very much, but unfortunately it is not a free app.
Thanks Junal... I agree and I don't mind to pay. My biggest concern is to use almost all the RAM only for the UI.
Unfortunately there is still 100MB from 256 reserver by samsung:/
Bu according to SPB Mobile Shell it is the best for me too

I have the same concerns regarding SPB shell..!! I used PointUI Demo version ( or the Lite version if you prefer..) and it was simply zippy.. The UI is good and the shell doesn't lag.. All in all, i would definitely recommend it over SPB as i found the UI and memory management better..!!..
In case you *don't* want any extra shell running on your WinMo ( and eating precious RAM ) , i prefer using Resco File Explorer and its Today plugin.. It is easy to use with minimum RAM/CPU needed.. And you can see the RAM, CPU,Battery and Storage space info from the Home screen.. Plus you can also add any number of shortcuts to the plugin to suit your needs.. I use it in conjuction with SPB weather ( which also uses a Today plugin..) and my phone stays zippy throughout the day.. Yet to see any lag due to it's use..!!
Attached a screenshot for the same..
Samsung Today...
I use Samsung Today, which is just a better all round experience than the rubbish TouchWiz widget thingy (in my opinion!). You need one of the newer ROM's though as it wasn't included in the last ROM release from Samsung... by last, I mean official release. Secany, over at MoDaCo has the latest JA5 available, which does include this - just check 'Samsung Today' in the 'Items on Today' option screen
PointUI w/Pointsens v2 for me.
Samsung today rules. It is not as fancy as SPB, but extremely useful and fast.
Used SPB Mobile Shell for several weeks. I admit, it looks good. I don't like the contact manager, it looks awfull. My main issue with it it slows down the Omnia a lot. It consumes a lot of MB's and lags your phone.
I now run Titanium. Put a nice looking, glossy black skin with nice icons on it. I also run PhonEx. Maybe it's not the very best contact system, but it adds a lot of functionality and eye candy. My phone is faster then ever. No issue with loosing memory or closing apps in the background. I enjoy my Omnia more then ever before. No freezes or any issue.
Curious? Try SPB MS for a while. It is a nice UI. But at some point I'm sure you will revert back to Titanium. At that point you will enjoy your Omnia as if it is new
WM 6.5 Rules
Hi everyone....
It's just funny but the best UI was always there! TITANIUM from WM 6.5!
Lightweight
Calendar / Messaging / Weather* / Contacts* / AppLauncher* Plugins
* Additional Plug ins from xda
Straightforward
For the first time Microsoft Mobile is going the right direction!
Maybe they hired some xda fellows?
You can try this ROM ie HD2 Sense UI
I not sure why no one has mentioed yet. Maybe I'm the only one who likes it. But I'm diggin iphonetoday 1.3. I don't use the today plugin. I have actually idsabled the Today, then assign the side button to luacnh the iphotoday exe. I have 80MB of ram on boot. about 76 Once iphonetoday is launched. With this my skyfire browsing experience became mch better as I can multitask
definitely the titanium... add panels and whatever to make it to your liking
JML Panex + JML today rules...
SPB
Only tried Samsung native and SPB MS and prefer MS. Cleaned it some to free around 47mb on bootup. Satisfied with features but would love more free RAM. Less lag than native UI.
Very open to try lighter UIs so i'll keep reading your inputs
47mb is very little. do u have other things booting as well? because i use PhoneEX and MS, and i can boot at 70mb even on stock rom (j6)
i tired pointUI like it very much. but too expensive =p
SPB Mobile Shell, albeit a little slow and paid
Samsung Today (new UI from JA5 ROM) is also excellent, free and customizable
OK.. I am confused with so many diff UI
1. Which is the best UI for Omnia i8000, I need one which is a eye candy and can help show off your OMLed display
2. I am planning to update my Omnia to WinMo 6.5 to get Titanium and TellMe Voice command.. is it worth..?
Titanium plugins are light and become really attractive.
Take a look.
And here are the links if anyone interested.

Another one!
Although when I first used Titanium I was not impressed now I love them.
They light, practical and beautiful.

I'm actually using SPB Shell around 64-70 MB free on start up, not that bad. Would like to start titanium but I tried everything and cannot get the interface to show -.-;
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..

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 ...
