Customizing the SBP Mobile Shell Icons:

all dat files – zip it closed password (applies to SPB Plus) Password b0fm18zq
If even simpler: open file in PhotoShop, make a copy on a copy! — draw with layers and so forth – with copies in the copy buffer – impose on the original – link sectors – remain with “SAVE” – SHELL and PLUS – very sensitive palette to change – if the file is simply to preserve the “SAVE AS ….” and the changing palette of color and depth.

not difficult.. not impossible.
1. copy all of the graphics (png’s)
2. make new ones and name them the same way (using Photoshop)
3. Stop the processes associated with SPB all of them and more. basicaly put it into “safemode for a ppc” kill all but the essential processes.
4. replace the old files with the new ones and reboot.

Note: the new files have to be identical in format (ex: PNG 24bit 96pxlX96pxl) not that it is the actual format.
Good luck.

Customizing for SQ320 (320×320) resolution: Some downloadable files are available, there’s also a theme from imarche.net.

SBP Now Screen as Today Screen:

This can be happen and after soft reset. Just edit the mobile shell’s shortcut in the windows\startup folder with a file manager(I use total commander) and remove the “-noshow” option. If there is not exist an spb mobile shell shortcut, just create one from the executable.

You can go to the Now screen with the “\Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell\Menulauncher.exe -now” command. You can assign it to a button, or a FTouchFlo gesture.

1.) Copy the “MobileShell.exe” application from \Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell, and
2.) create a shortcut “Shortcut to MobileShell.lnk” in \windows\StartUp, then
3.) Perform a Soft reset.
Now the Mobile Shell Spb Menu (Application) screen auto loads after the soft reset. No Reg edit required for this…

TheDumbKid posted a file called “sbpwatcher.cab” that will automatically return you to the new screen whenever you hit the today screen.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\Wireless
Enabled -> 0

Change “Enabled” to 0 (decimal) and restart, perhaps with MSDN’s free soft reboot utility.

If you would like to add the wireless item back to the Today screen, the default settings are:

Name: “Flags” – DWORD: “00000000″
Name: “Options” – DWORD: “00000000″
Name: “DLL” – String value: “netui.dll”
Name: “Order” – DWORD: “00000000″
Name: “Enabled” – DWORD: “00000001″
Name: “Type” – DWORD: “00000004″

In the WM6 “Notes” program, be sure to go into Menu / Options and choose Save to: Storage Card.

Additionally, use the Registry Editor to move “My Documents” to the Storage Card via:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services and create a REG_SV
FileSyncPath -> \Storage\My Documents

Once all of your Documents are on your Storage Card, then just download PPC PIM Backup to safely move all of your SMS’s and Call History to your Storage Card. More info at xda-developers.

Last up, if you’re carrier insists on popping up a message upon network connection, you can disable this popup by disabling the “STK” dll.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\stk_service
dll = <empty> (Originally the value was set to STK_Service.dll)

However, each time that I attempt to send an SMS to a large list of recipients, I get a message about being unable to send to more recipients. This message cannot have more than 20 recipients. Please reduce the number of recipients and send again. (see screenshot)

Is this a limit in Windows Mobile or something specific to the Treo Pro?
Do HTC devices like the Touch Pro have this limit too?
Or is this a carrier limit with China Mobile – seems unlikely considering I get so many SMSs?

No idea how to work around this right now, but I’ve sent a message to the creator to Group SMS to see if he can shed any light on the situation… Even a google search for “This message cannot have more than 20 recipients ” turns up ZERO hits for this message.

No results found for “This message cannot have more than 20 recipients”.
