Many people including myself were unable to install SPB shell 3.5 after upgrading to MR1. One of the reasons I wanted 3.5 is so that I could install "MobileSense". Lets face it, the interfaces available in the X2 leave a lot to be desired.
I finally successfully managed to get it installed and working using this method.
I had read this suggestion to help speed up the device -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=663093
I decided that maybe if I did a full device clean using SKtools then maybe the update will go well without any residual garbage causing problems.
This is what I did.
(1) I Ran SKtools and performed a complete clean up.
(2) Re installed MR1 using SEUS and waited for it to finish to a factory fresh install.
(3) I Removed panels I didn't want but left SPB 3.0 there.
Installed 3.5 and let it remove 3.0. When complete, shut down and restarted again.
(4) Installed MobileSense and restarted again.
It worked! After this I installed SKtools and Advanced Configuration Tool again and then cleaned and optimized my performance settings.
So far it is running very well, but we will see if it does that black screen stall. I am almost sure it will do that anyways ... but so long as I have SPB 3.5 running now, I am happy.

I think that step one does not give you anything, because when you install a fresh-install of MR1 it will wipe out everything on the phone's memory, and reinstall a new image. You are with an identical system as before your clean-up run.. IT would make more sense to do the cleanup-run AFTER installing MR1...
It's basically because most of the problems come from
TileWave Panel.
And sometimes TileWave.
I don't use TileWave and I'm completely free from any freezes.
SPB is horrible for me, so I save a lot of space on my X2
I am starting to doubt that upgrading to MR1 does actually "wipe" everything. It must leave some stuff behind compared to doing a "Clean install" like the X1.
Reason is, why will SPB 3.5 install successfully now, when it never did before?
The phone is running pretty good so far, no stall yet and no connection loss to the SD card yet either.
Observing how the MR1 upgrade installs, it is almost like it patches different parts of the OS one at a time. It takes sooo long! When I reflashed the entire ROM on the X1 it took maybe 10-15 minutes if that. Does that make sense?
i never had a problem installing spb3.5 but when it was on it tried to wipe out the MS panel and i got random bugs when trying to go back to slideview to pick other panels. returned to the standard spb panel in the end. but might try the remove slideview fix and see if that makes a difference. i rarely use any of the other panels so will be no loss..

OMG, I so pissed.
Here it is in a nutshell.
I upgraded my ROM to dutty's 1.9b EXTREME ROM. It works perfect. I spent 3 or 4 hours last night getting everything setup.
I decided to try the blue theme made for dutty's extreme. It didn't work for me. It left the screen half-done. I got the analog clock, etc, etc.
I thought it was stupid of me to forget to back the phone up before I tried the theme so I had to reinstall the ROM at least 3-4 times. (Each time I'd get something wierd)
So, I got it all setup tonight, reinstalled all my software, etc, etc.
I backed up the phone using sprite and tried again to reinstall the blue theme for dutty's EXTREME 1.9b.
Again, I got it half on the screen and it simply won't work.
I'm cool with that but there is no way to uninstall it. So I restored my backup.
Unfortunately, it left the half installed theme on the screen.
I read that you should install TF3D configurator from the Diamond and you can restore it back to it's default.
Apparently TF3D configurator is not compatible with 1.9b EXTREME.
I keep getting "An unexpected error has occurred in Diamond TF3D config.exe"
Point is, can anyone tell me how to remove a theme without reinstalling my ROM again. I really don't want to do it AGAIN!!!
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mark
delete all the .manila files in your windows directory I think, can't delete the ones in ROM so will revert to original. None of the TF3D edits work with the new version.
Thanks, I already reflashed it. I figured since I did a backup this time, I could install the new ROM, do a hard reset and do a backup.
Took me all of 5-10 minutes.
Much easier with a backup.
Thanks,
Mark
EDIT: Mods, feel free to delete this. Sorry for the wasted space. Thanks.
hi
this is not my work just rewrote some files
the main add"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566731&highlight=sense+UI"
replace cab attached.
1-download main pack from above add
2-use 2 below cab instead of main cab
3-you need JMLPanex2.1 and mortscript("http://www.sto-helit.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=5452&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=200")
4-first install mortscript then install JMLPanex2.1 after it install hero pack (note 2) and then restart
Well gave it a shot. No love. It makes the Mobile Op screen and freezes.
I'll try again after I reload 6.1, however I think it may be asking to much of the phone.
How much op memery is needed to have all this running?
Remember specs for Typhoon are less then others
Has only 32 MB built in.
Sorry to report.....
I have followed your instructions to the letter.....and again I have to reload my phone with Win Mobile.
( Sticks after Windows Mobile Load screen)
Do not try this unless you are comfortable in flashing your phone!!!
For folks who are flash shy, go with farzad23's Diamond Theme. Easy and good looking.
@ Greywolf_Ghost
i.m using ,dont need more ram but it is a little heavy and another point is "did u read the main add instruction???"
JMLPanex need wm6.5
why flash u'r phone u can just hard reset ,very easy at boot start
Yes as I said I did everything you listed. I even went into 6.5 and tried.
I am running 6.5 as I type this.
The poor little Typhoon just does not seem to have enough available program memory available to handle it all.
The reason for the reload is.........
by default, the last installed screen before reset comes up first. So the phone locks up before it finishes reboot. It runs out of available memory and stalls. ( I tried a number of ways to attempt to get to a default 6.1 or 6.5 main screen no luck on my end).
Thus with a reload ( less then 7 min), no added registry, wallpapers, or files to clog the boot up.
If others manage to get, good on them.......please post up on steps taken.
My feeling tho is this is more for a 64MB and above phone.
It's why I said less advanced users should go with your Diamond version as it looks just as good as this.
farzad23
I would like to give this another try, however I need you to list what files in what order have to be installed.
I have been reading your instructions over and over, and they are confusing!!!!!
Please list by order, and link the files. ( all required files, and anything that is not needed please also list as a don not install).
Please clear up so I can see if this does work on a Typhoon.
Is anyone else mixed up by the first set of instructions?

The rest seems clear enough.....just some confusion as to what the first file is.
@Greywolf_Ghost
u should install TItanium"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=588837" then restart then>start>setting>home screen>choos titanium OR titanium media
farzad23
Many Thanks on the redo of instructions. It worked.
I'd say tho I still prefer the Diamond Slide. As I like the slide bar going top to bottom, in Titanium, bar stays mid and the rest moves through it.
This does look awesome tho.
In any case Thank you for the re-writes!!!

It won't go back even after removing it via Start > Settings > System > Remove Programs?
If that doesn't do it, you're going to have to do a hard reset (complete wipe of the phone). Backup everything on your phone! The only things that won't get erased are the things in the SD card.
To do the hard reset: turn off the phone, then press/hold Talk/Send, End, and Power button at the same time until a prompt comes up warning you about a factory reset. Follow the prompt to completely wipe your phone memory.
That will restore everything the way it was when it came from the factory.

I realize that an instance may occur where using the three-button hard-reset is the only option (device won't boot or blank screen), but I wonder if running 'Clear Storage' wouldn't serve the same purpose? Are there any differences in the desired results or are the two methods of resetting a Rhodium identical in this regard?
surely a hard reset is a bit harsh, can't you just install a different tab slider, there must be a stock 2.1 slider floating around somewhere, i'll see if i have one on my Harddrive, you are using stock 2.1 yeh?
One of these two should work for you try each of them as i don't know what build your phones on
To install Go into settings>today-Settings>untick Sense, then install after install retick sense and you should be back on..hope it works for you dude
Thanks very much it has worked after installing the cabs u gave me. Cheerse much appreciated

Thats great news! no need for a HR, glad i could help
I reckon the best paid app i ever got has to be SPB back-up i think its about £20 but well worth it, it doesn't just back-up your PIM(txts, numbers,etc) it backs up everything, i can completely wipe my device and reinstall everything just as it was using this, ive tried there other products but not been that impressed but this i cant live without. Then you can try stuff out without fear of not being able to uninstall!!!

HD2 unresponsive & trapped in a perpetual cycle of self deletion and re-custimization
I got my hd2 about 4 months ago and I have to say it's one of the best phones I've ever had, only now I have a serious problem with my ex =(.
Was running a slightly modified close to stock rom wwe, without problem (except the occasional freeze every other day) however, after attempting to install another room with cookie's homepage customizer, my phone keept freezing after about 5 min after the customization process was finished.
I thought this had something to do with the apps I installed just after the rom installation process. However, after some testing the same problem occur regardless if I install just the rom.
Have also tried upgrading to another newer OS version / rom & radio yet I encounter the same issue all the time; The screen will freeze and otherwise become non - responsive and after a restart the phone may not start ( freezing on windows orange screen), or it will start the customization process anew, somehow resetting all settings and stored content. .
Is my phone messed up for good? What are my options, please help!
Cheers,
Nate.
Update 25.3: SO I formated my phone with Task29 and reinstalled the 2.09 radio. Now starting to flash Kwbr_Topix_1.5.6 rom wwe. Will you know how it goes . .
Update 26.3: It's been 24 hours since I used task29, and everything seems fine. Thank you guys so much for the tip . . Now I may once again go back to using my great phone. Ty! xD
Anybody have any input?
Try using this to format your device.
Alright, thank you. I'll try that!
Do you have the autoinstall folder on you sd card? That could be causing the issues if something is in there thats not compatible anymore. Just a thought.
You mean like a ruu_signed file on the root of the storage card?
I second hicks, known problem, 90% it's just you needing a format of the internal memory with the task 29 utility
i tried installing android but it didnt work the haret file wouldnt open and kept getting error message (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11352461#post11352461)
So i tried to flash my rom following this tut
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
but i was unable to run SPL v 1.56.OliNex, it kept saying error 240 device not responding
so i put the manual touch hd .exe onto my phone
but i get the same error message as when i run haret
the file 'name of .exe program' cannot be opened. either it is not trusted..if the problem persists try reinstalling or restoring the file..
what do i do?
......... any 1?
excatly like the error message says, there can be 2 possible reasons, why it wouldn't open:
1. it is not trusted
2. a component is missing
1. if it is not trusted, try hd tweak and set it to ignore certifications warnings
2. the "component" that is usually missing is .net framework 3.5. many apps come not fully loaded with their own code but are based on certain runtimes, which makes them compatible with more windows mobile versions and keep them clean, but to have those shared libraries and make the phone "understand" this program, you need to install the .net framework.

already gt framework 3.5, ill try hd tweak
edit
i tried to install hd tweak but when i opened the .cab file on phone i got past 'the program is from an unknown publisher..do you want to continue' i pressed yes but then i get the message 'installation of HD Tweak was unsuccessful'
too bad, i already suspected something like this to happen. to disable certification you'd have to install an uncertified program, vicious circle. what rom are you running? many roms don't have the certificate issue, because by default this is disabled by the rom chefs. another thing that you could try might be the autoinstall feature:
in my rom (cloudy 0.7) there is an autoinstall feature. it consists of a startmenu link AutoInstall, which then disables certain policies (including certification) to install all cabs in the AutoInstall folder on the sd card, kinda like an EXTROM known from older devices. most roms have a user customization (UC) feature built in, please post your rom chef and version or refer to the thread you got the rom from to check for this feature. i hope you already have ms myphone installed or you are able to run pimbackup on your device, because you might have a hardreset coming in your near future, and you should make sure to have backups of all your personal data and only that. using sprite backup, spb backup or resco backup is not recommended, that will not only restore your data, but also the problem, you are having right now.
in case you are running a shipped rom, which would explain, why that annoying certification is there in the first place, chances are slim, that UC will work for you, and if you also don't have ms myphone or are unable to run pimbackup, you should at least try and sync your data with exchange or outlook (however, this will not backup your call logs or sms)
i am still wondering what might have caused your troubles in the first place. did you install android as a cab? if it was the new froyo x build, which comes as portable os, it should be completely wiped, when you delete the folders from the sd card, in case of the earlier cab version, you might want to try uninstalling it. in case you made the error to install it to the internal storage, the hard reset is inevitable.

as mentioned before, your device is pretty screwed up and you best option is to try and backup your personal information and then perform a hard reset and format your sd card (which might have troubles due to the android incident)

Ive reformated mem card, ive backed up my documents with activesync. Yes im a noob how do u hard reset ?
switch off the device completely (not just sleep). then while pressing both the volume keys, switch it back on. you should see a white screen with blue font giving you instructions on how to reset the device to factory defaults.
