Glad you like it. PLEASE PLEASE read the ReadMe File included. Extract all the files and read the read me file.
You should copy all the files excluding the readme file into the \windows directory of your device
Once again, MAKE SURE YOU READ THE READ ME FILE FIRST
cheers

Hi,
very nice !
But could you give the 'Talk' and 'End' buttom a shade of green and red, so that it's easier to answer and hang up a call ?
Torsten

Good work. I like it
Here is a screenshot

I also tried the Magneto skin, that unluckly has no indialer skin. So i mixed the great indialer of this skin, with the pads of magneto one (only in portrait mode).
This is the result

Well guys i've just updated the colours of the talk+end buttons as requested above. hope you like the change.
another thing, i've got screenshots attached but somehow they don't show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aladin, That's a very good work. I like it very much!
And, the picture files looks much smaller than the original picture files. This help to save some space on my O2 XDA II mini.
If possible, keep them as small as possible. Also, I notice because the picture files is smaller, it is help to launch phone quicker than before.
Thanks again man!
Best regards,
Arto

anyone tried it with German Version of intelli dail

very nice with the red and green add-on.
Thanks a lot !
Torsten

Hi Aladdin,
When I press the 1,2,3......*,# button, the button change to the original button. The shape and color is different from your dial-pad skin. Is there something missing?
Call History, Speed Dial, Talk and "<--" button is OK.
Best regards,
Arto.

The original "whenpressed" button cannot be changed

editing the pressed button
Thats not correct. You have to edit tapres.dll (you can find it in your windows-folder) with reshacker.

how the hell do u change the skin
i see all of you have bn chnaging the skin how the hell do u do it?

very nice skins

ne1?
no1 want to share their secrets on how to make their skin? common a lil help would be nice!

by all means mate you can go ahead and change your dial skin. just download the files i've attached, find the equivalent in your \Windows directory and change them in photoshop or any graphics program you like. it's really that simple you just need to spend a bit of time on it that's all oh, and a little bit of creativity would be a bonus
peace
(probably not with blair and bush still around)

nice skin .. aladdin1001 .. love it so much..
i downloaded since it first posted here .. hope you can work on another intellidialer skin or even intellipad skin..
great job m8 .. :wink:

Hi mate,
Please tell me, I've been looking for this and tried your suggestion without success.
Do you mean using "Reshacker" (a windows App) to edit the tapres.dll (the dll file in my o2 mini) ?
I tried, and it did not work. I tried moving / copying the tapres.dll file to my local harddisk (on PC via activesync), so i could attempt to edit it, and the system wouldnt allow me, saying something abt ROM files cannot be copied..
could you please elaborate on your method??
I've got some dialskins copied to my /Windows dir and the only issue now is as mentioned by bros above.. ie. when i press the numeric pads, the original blue keys still shows..
please enlighten me.
THANKS!!!!!

Please close this thread someone

I like it, good work. I like it especially it is a 3rd party software so that I can keep my Today screen. BTW, whats the diff of yours compared to the one at the other thread?
Anyway, although getting the aye-Phone interface is good for a start, I think it ought to be able to get some artist to make a better looking interface than aye-Phone.
BTW, as suggestion (for feature), I'm just wondering if you can make your app to respond to the D-Pad (the directional button), like those (say) SonyE phone and then display another graphics to show that the button is being selected.
Design case example:
All icons are black-white. Using your directional button, it goes from one icon to another. The selected icon will have colour (depending on design), and pushing the 'action' button will make it launch the app.
Final thing, whats the difference between yours and the one mentioned at the other thread?

The Difference is that the other one was in 12/24 hour format, it has no exit button, its 1Meg in size, it has some memory leaks that people complained about. Im sure mine has issues as well so please test and let me know.
I can possible make it work on the dialpad with different icons when they have focus. I just wanne make sure it wont eat too much memory and become to slow. Im not good with graphics at all so any suggestions will be appreciated

I was thinking of a config module, for easier? configuration.
interested?

I can try make it(i hope). Kinda newbie at programing, but i think i can make it work.
should i make it a seperate app and just make it change the config files?
think that would be the easiest, maybe.

Yep write a new app if you want and access the config files it would be the easiest. Im also new at programming. What i know i taught myself so thats why its so difficult to do this. This app took my 8 hours to write and im sure someone else could have done it faster and better. Lemme know if you know how to get the Network operator name and Signal strength and battery level out of the registry. I know where they are stored but cant seem to read data from the registry

try this one: http://www.developerfusion.co.uk/show/4640/2/
dunno what you can make out of it, since im learning VB.NET atm and have no clue about C#
found something from a previous app i made for windows, here is some of the code i used, dunno how it's done in C# but im guessing it wouldnt be very different
Imports Microsoft.Win32
Dim RegKey As RegistryKey
Dim regSubKey As RegistryKey
RegKey = Registry.LocalMachine
regSubKey = RegKey.CreateSubKey("SOFTWARE\Example")
regSubKey.SetValue("ExampleDwordValue", "0")
i think i would have used
regSubKey.GetValue("ExampleValue")
in VB but you should just try to find it.
hope it helps you in some way.

Lightweight and fast is good. As what you're doing is basically possible with WA + WAD. BTW, as for the settings, you may want to have the (4 x 4) + (1 x 4) icon grid flexible, incase people want to have large icons (less stuff to launch?). An ayeFone alternatives design, take a look here

I was thinking of removing the whole icon if you dont want it
edit: removing as in hiding

Follow Up
I got the signal strengt working as well as reading the operator name from the registry. The only help i need now is to get the battery level from somewhere withing the registry, ill update the zip files on th first post

sounds good with the provider and signal info, will test it right now.
the icons: since i just arrived home, i did not have any new icons yet. but for workaround reasons, i attached a zip-file with the original iphone-icons , and a zip-file with the alternative icons. i numbered them in the original-iphone-order and added an additional rss-icon (for the 16. field).
(i was not really shure why you choose these other icons in the release (where are they from?)), but the original icons worked just fine for me. the alternatives also.
a blurry picture with before-and-after (left->your release right-> the original icons) is also attached.

roger that! and thanks for the screen-capture application.
i'll try to install it via parallels (a mac and a pocket pc is a disastreous combination )
one request: maybe you should use version-numbers by now. its hard to follow which iphone-zip-folder is the "up to date" one.

Tried using SNAPI?
Trying to remember but I think it was something like SystemState.GetValue(SystemProperty.PowerBatteryStrength).
Will test/check when I get home
*Edit* If you don't want to download the sn api then I think wm stores all state information in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State (battery strength, display orientation, num missed calls, num new sms's etc) */Edit*

Erg, sorry, just noticed the "Visual Studio 2003" part now. SNAPI requires 2005 afaik. Gonna have to grab it from manually from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Status\Battery

ok just tried the latest release. could it be that other file-extensions then *.exe are not recognized?
i.e.: .tr3 or .lnk (i tried to access a tomeraider file and a link to my contacts - but no luck)
furthermore, german pathnames including umlaute ÄÖÜßöäü doesnt work
attachment: was in need for a quick wikipedi /wikimedia icon

does this one have the slide lock?

[APP][Update 07-11-08] LockDown, keeping stuff private

Don't you hate it when you let someone play with your shiny new WM phone
they usually go right to your SMS inbox?
jonesj8 had the same irritation, so inspired by him I threw something together
Original thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375057
I created a new thread to have a bit more overview, and also to get it under the attention of other users who might be interested
@mods
I can understand if you close this thread...
How does it work.
this version requires you to change all the .lnk files pointing to tmail.exe, or to the dll...maybe even other ones...
I say all lnk's but the most important are the ones the "friend" is going see/use.
I've included a shortcut creator in the attachment.
In FileList.ini specify the application to block,
in the included file it's \WIndows\tmail.exe
and i've used msg as argument.
so in the .lnk would point to lockdown.exe with the argument msg
if the passcode is correct the file will be opened.
it's not very quick (since it needs to be opened) but this should change in the next version.
the passcode can be changed in the settings.ini, default is 12345
Let me know what you think or if you have any ideas
Update Version 0.4
Well I finally got around to an update, which is attached below
The application has been rebuild from the ground up, I've used a Lock and Key method, e.g. the lnk uses key.exe which communicates with the server (the lock) this way the server only needs to read the filelist once which should save time.
<note>
because of this you will need to enter the items in the FileList.ini prior to starting the server, when the server is running it will create the used shortcuts for you
which you can then place.
if you add stuff while it is running the shortcuts wont be created...
pointers on making the FileList.ini is in the readme below.
New in this version
- installer (cab)
- app to date support
- redesigned layout
- support for arguments, opening the sms should work now, it does for me
- locking of other files should work now too (thesed with a html file)
- automatically create the proper lnk files in sub folder
To do
- include support for different screen sizes
- way to customize the colors
- mask input with *
- skinning...?
In case someone is bored and wants to create the graphics, be my guest,
My creativity in that department is next to null

Sounds great. Any chance of a screenshot of the lock screen?

works good, cant seem to get arguments passed to tmail.exe in settings.ini
ie.
msg=\Windows\tmail.exe -service "SMS"
just opens account picker, is on todo list? not bugging you, good app,
thx!

great will it run on VGA? make it as simple as you can so when we are in hurry the soft won't load so long

This looks nice and configurable.
Are we able to make it request the pin for any application listed in FileList? First try didn't work, I want to restrict more than just the inbox

sorry, double post

Correct that isn't working... also i'm not sure if it will be in there,
the reason is I wanted to change the app so it looks at the window name,
this would close all message related windows, and there is no need to change the .lnk files

Currently any application can be restricted by providing a ID + location, e.g
xyz=\Program Files\TCPMP\player.exe
changing the link to tcpmp would have lockdown popup first
What application would you like to restrict?

Basically, no
but as a workaround you could try making an lnk to tmail.exe with the -service etc. in there, next change the FileList.ini pointing to that new lnk...
not sure if it will work though

Can test it you want.

now, that you mention it yes, i have tried it and it does not work, if it is the specific html file. the lockdown screen would still appear but nothing happens after entering the code. maybe it will work, if the iexplore.exe itself is lockdown but this will lock down every/all html files. would it be a big change to code it, just for specific html files? i'm also thinking on specific text files just like the said html files. i keep notes on pure text files like tax account number, passwords, pincodes, etc in a text or word file. maybe this is pushing too far. maybe in the next version/release? hehehe thank you for sharing and more power...

Sorry I was on holidays
I've tested with PIE.exe and i plan this for the next version.
Please note though that this tool is only for making sure "friends" don't read your personal stuff very easy, but passwords/pin codes might be a bit too high risk..

I think this should be further developed! It really should come standard on winmob... hey Gee, if you need a cab builder or photoshop, I'd be happy to help! Let's make this idea the next ROM must-have!

I wanna use this program because every time someone wants to see my phone, they get to snooping into my personal info. However, I'm afriad if I start changing things manually, I'll screw my phone up.

Without detailed knowledge about the background of this request, I'd say: try this automation task with Mirko Schenks' MortScript
http://mort.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=page&entry=ms_overview&action=view&menu=29

i just want to send an automatic sms to the service center that request the detail of my usage. i want to keep track of how many MBs and minutes are left from my account
i think you forgot to post the script

Click to expand...

that was a good one... uups ;-) I'm serious now:
<MortScript>
MortScript is a script interpreter that allows you to do a lot of task automation stuff and even a quite huge command set for implementing logic, it is not a ready-to-run script that matches your "autosms sending" needs. I dont know much about MortScript but I know that is it very powerfull.
</MortScript>
Perhaps you'd like to have a look at this: autosms 0.43 (Feb 04 09), created yesterday
Motivated by ur request, I did some dev playing with sms coding yesterday on the train and here's a WinMobile prog that's doing the job... but caution: this is a very early (and ugly looking) version.
There is currently no MINIMIZE but you can simply keep the prog open.
Some menu items are not set so far, i.e. EXIT. If you want to exit, just use the upper right 'x'.
The STARTBUTTON toogles between Start to STOP and starts/stops the timer.
The first message is sent directly after pushing on START.
When STOPPING, sending shortMessages is stopped and the timer is reset to the cycle time set in the form field 'send every ___ Mins'.
The settings are stored in autosms.ini and are loaded at prog start and saved at prog end.
The prog works fine and stable on my X1, anyway there is an issue with VGA devices but as I told you, this is an early hack...
Be aware: autosms comes "as is" without any guarantees or warranty. You use it for your own risk. autosms automatically sends short messages every X Minutes (preset X to 2000) to the set cell phone number. Using autosms can cost u a fortune, so, I'm not responsible for any financial desaster or data loss or and legal trouble you might produce when bothering others through sms flodding.
so short

thank you so much for your work. it really does work.i need to leave it for a couple of days to test stability. i will also add it to the start up programs
a few things to look into in case you get borded and decide to update this:
-as you said, needs to minimize. starting it again does not seem to work.i had to reboot my device
-used vga3fix to get vga resolution and it seems to work fine
-i changed the default 2000 to 2 just to test and it started sending every two seconds not minutes (thank god service center messages are FREE) i got

did you try power sms ?

seems like a nice update. .. thanks
will look into power sms after i test 0.44 properly. thanks

Try RJV SMS Scheduler

thank
Thank i will try it out

where were all these replies before. you made snoman reach his 3rd version before answering.......jk
snoman, for text version. how about you make it more friendly for phone startup. i just want to make it easy to autosms start without me having to manually run it and then click "start".
how about you just make it come with another executable (that is fully automatic) that we can create a shortcut to from the startup folder from win directory

good idea. I'll make a parameter just only need to add after the .exe in the shortcut, i.e.
'autosms.exe autostart' if'll then reads the settings from ini and automatically switches into start mode
ok?

Thanks again. I just made the first CAB file for installation. If works fine on my XDA Neo.
Would you mind checking out if it works on ur device?

the cab runs just fine on my device and the qvga wizard. thanks for your work. your program is set to work from startup
now im just being picky with the following wishlist:
-but why did the size grow from 25k to 115k for the same thing. any way of making the cab smaller. maybe recompressing indivsual files?
-not important but also can you somehow make it work as single portable executable (like pimBackup 2.8 that everybody loved to just keep in the SD card)
-also the red square icon is a bit on the plane side how about you just reuse the envelope and stopwatch used in the program as the icon for autosms

Thank you for testing and the reply!

now im just being picky with the following wishlist:
-but why did the size grow from 25k to 115k for the same thing. any way of making the cab smaller. maybe recompressing indivsual files?

Well, the size is mainly given by the exe and the dll and the bitmap I use and they need approx. 110 KB. My CAB builder does not compress, maybe he cannot or I havn't found the flag. I'll check it out these days.
-not important but also can you somehow make it work as single portable executable (like pimBackup 2.8 that everybody loved to just keep in the SD card)

Beside the need to deliver some dlls the single-file-solution means to give up with saving the parameters like "Cellphone No" or "Message Text" who need at least a file for storage and I'd like to avoid the registry.
-also the red square icon is a bit on the plane side how about you just reuse the envelope and stopwatch used in the program as the icon for autosms

Indeed, that's a todo right done after making my own offical program icon.

SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 - Modifications/Hacks (dedicated thread)

I feel this thread to be redundant. This thread basically do the same thing but with bigger success and some active modders:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=507697
As we don't need two of the same threads and I feel I don't have enough time to mod and give in to this myself and not many modders have stepped in. I'm sorry. Consider this thread a good idea but the goal is now in the hands of Zepiii. To hack the hell out of MS 3.0
Good luck Zepiii
Hi,
don't think anyone has missed the amazing pre release of this sweet ap!
I'm a mod freak and there are somethings i would like to change in this prog.
like the programs "tab" only has 3 rows. i want to make this 4. anyone with a bit of experience possibly from the 2.xx series know where to do it?
the configs are simple ZIP files. Just open the DAT file as a ZIP file or rename it to ZIP.
in order to edit the file you need to put in the password which is:
b0fm18zq
Maybe we could custom tailor it and post the modded DAT files collected here. Most of the 2.xx series of mods/skins are portable with a little or no modification except renaming of some picture files (same password in 2.xx). the possibilities are endless
Please remove or correct my post if I'm violating/doubleposting something here.
Regards

DAT Files content:
qa_layouts.dat - This contains only XML files. 61 to be precise lots of interesting stuff! (tried to change the Iconspacing in programs to 24. didn't get my 4 icons row though )
vp_menu_btn.dat - Built in Icons
va_misc_now.dat - Built in system icons
vpw_bkg_now - portrait
vlw_bkg_now.dat - mostly contact icons landscape
va_weather_64.dat - weather Icons largest with XML file
vp_bkg_now.dat - Menu frame
vl_bkg_now.dat - same but in landscape
va_profile.dat - media player and profile widget icons
RegHacks:
adding more pages to lifestyle screen
more buttons in collected start menu
change default sms client (bottom)
Memorysaving (no reghack)
interesting links in similar spirit:
SPB 3.0 today wallpaper
SPB 2.1 skins for inspiration

Great idea. I would also love to see this!!!

Is possible to customise the theme colors that available in mobile shell 3? The existing preferences are to dark(I want a white color scheme). Can we do it by editing a dat file(which?) or a registry hack?

Hi Dancer_69,
I don't know yet. I just played around with it last night before bed. I'm just a NB in this who poked around with this great ap after not being pleased with everything and curious on what could be achived so i dont have alla the answers this is a team effort. hopfully someone with the experience or knowhow checks this. In the meantime we have to do it by trial and error. and map it all as we go along
Regards
Frewys

good to know
I have discovered that Topaz enhanced menus works great with SPB MS 3.0 activated (and Manila installed but not activated in the today screen) so so far its a necessary evil to have Manila installed until we know possible witch file or reg settings are needed.

Frewys

i'll be waiting one this, happy moddings

adding more pages to lifestyle screen
this could be good for some. Found this over at modaco.com forum posted by turborepu quote:
"add more pages to lifestyle screen.. bg image pan works fine still
hklm/software/spb software house 2/spb mobile shell/widgets/homescreen
change "pagecount" to desired number.. i put 4. soft reset.."
supposedly its tested on 10 pages. the result is that when paned the wallpaper moves less then with three. If wallpaper size changed it will "smartfit" it to be the "correct" size.
haven't tried this myself yet three is plenty for me ATM

When are you going to stop posting that little list of yours masrterk? Every thread/subforum on xda-developers and spb seems has one of your posts with the exact same thing.

Hi masrterk,
I personally don't agree. i like to taylor make my GUI and of course the tastes differ. For instants.. i would like to have it pretty barebone and point to the prefered app of choice like resco contactmannager or glarm witch are the best! IMHO annyway
BUT if one could integreate them somehow that would be great if you had that choice.
right now its really easy just to link to those apps from the lifestyle screen.

Remove calendar from professional layout?
Hi guys
i am trying to figure out how to do something that we were able to do in 2.1, but has been left unoptional in 3.0. I would like to get rid of the calendar on the pro screen. All I want to see is my upcoming appointments (if I have any). I don't want the screen cluttered with a pesky grid-style calendar. I am such a nooB at this it is silly, but here I am, messing around with .dat files......
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It would be nice to create a backup/restore tool for the settings/today items/widgets/etc...
When updating the rom this would be VERY useful!

is the pre release official? where's the download?
looks good from the youtube demos

Anyone figure out the password for the DAT files yet? Seems they changed it from the 2.x releases

Great idea. I just took a peek inside today, thanks for the breakdown of what some of the .dats do.
I have a feeling we'll start seeing some custom widgets in no time.
and yes, the release is now official.

There is already one in the SPB Shell settings, click the right softkey in settings and there it is, to the left of the exit button.
I tried it myself today, completely uninstalled mobile shell before I installed the official version, loaded the backup and everything was restored in the new version, included widgets and all

I don't see the grid calendar on my pro screen anymore. On the pro settings page, choose "calendar", then change # of appointments to "as many as possible". After doing this, mine now shows the next two appointments.
