Guest shadow.ibix Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 I'm looking for something OTHER than WisBar Advance - which crashes my i910 about 40-90 times a day - and OTHER than Taskbar Makeover, which only has one theme and leaves the area behind my keyboard icon annoyingly coloured, as if the theme itself doesn't cover this area and MinMo's theme shows through. So what is out there that I can use, preferably free but will pay for that will skin both the taskbar and the softkeys? OR, is there a stable version of WisBar Advance that I can use? This is the most preferable route. My WisBar Advance is version 3.x. Not sure what. Thanks.

Guest Dado... Posted May 24, 2009 Report Posted May 24, 2009 you tried SPB Mobile Shell? http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobileshell/ plus skins? http://www.imarche.net/omnia/fullpacks.php
Guest maf107ezk0 Posted May 24, 2009 Report Posted May 24, 2009 Manilla 2D is a good one <_< It`s a shame it doesn`t support landscape, tho :)
Guest xXJohnXx Posted May 24, 2009 Report Posted May 24, 2009 I had throttlelauncher once . That was nice and free <_<
Guest shadow.ibix Posted May 24, 2009 Report Posted May 24, 2009 Quick question. Where do you have WA installed? Storage Card. Trying to conserve room. you tried SPB Mobile Shell? http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobileshell/ plus skins? http://www.imarche.net/omnia/fullpacks.php I've not tried this, because I don't want superfluous software on my phone when all I want to do is change a 15-pixel tall bar. This thing frustrates me. Also, I use TouchFlo. I don't want to get rid of it. However, will SPB MS allow me to use M2D and yet still skin the taskbar/softkeys? Manilla 2D is a good one <_< It`s a shame it doesn`t support landscape, tho :) I use this, don't really care for landscape much anyway. I've not tried throttlelauncher. Same question: can I use TouchFlo as my interface, and yet still have this running to skin the taskbar, or at least change it to black?
Guest maf107ezk0 Posted May 24, 2009 Report Posted May 24, 2009 Dunno,but Manilla works fine with "taskbar makeover" - search for the topic here <_<
Guest ronaldb3 Posted May 24, 2009 Report Posted May 24, 2009 Storage Card. Trying to conserve room. I am using Wisbar v3.4.3.1. This version seems more stable than a few before. Older versions would give me grief if I had Wisbar in Startup on resets. I also am using MS3. My rom is sector's N1. I think you should try Wisbar in Main Memory just for grins <_< and see if this helps. I have it there and have very few lockups with a fairly complicated setup. Ron...

I just found I'm running v 3.0.0.2. I think I MIGHT need to update. How can I update with the license I have now? And what is MS3?

And what is MS3? Go to Lakeridgesoftware.com site and download latest version. Same key should work, if you have legal copy. I suggest you try to Uninstall and install what you have to Main memory and you may be able to just install the latest over it. MS3 - abbrev used around here for 'SPB Mobile Shell 3' program. I like it better than Titanium or M2D for main screen. Ron... Edited May 24, 2009 by ronaldb3

I just downloaded the latest version and it didn't even ask me for my key, so I assume when I uninstalled the last version and selected Keep My Settings. Not for anyone else with issues... Ah well, we'll see what happens. It hasn't locked up in about four or five minutes, which believe me, is a record. Also, I installed to My Storage (device memory) rather than Storage Card (removable micro SD). UPDATE: 1727 local time, 24 May No go. Device locked up about two minutes ago. Let me rephrase this. It doesn't necessarily lock up. It simply fails to respond in any kind of timely manner. Like it needs more RAM or something. The screen WILL turn on - after two or three minutes - but will remain unresponsive to touch, AS ARE ALL BUTTONS, because it cannot process whatever the bloody hell it's doing. But, for the record, it did work better. But it do work fully. At this rate, I'll be able to reduce my soft reset count to about 30 a day. Right. Not going to happen.

Guest amoschk Posted May 26, 2009 Report Posted May 26, 2009 "Also, I installed to My Storage (device memory) rather than Storage Card (removable micro SD)" My Storage is not Device Memory , they are different... When you install you get to choose to install on Device Memory My Storage Storage Card I read that programs run fastest on Device Memory, followed by good Storage cards, and then slowest on My Storage. Just something random i read off forums so I could be wrong lol. Try Device Memory as Ron suggested ? I am using WA3 on Device Memory with no delay problems... I'm using i900 though.

I never got around to trying that, because at this point, I've rommed to WM 6.5 de Wazzer's rom. I don't need to worry about it anymore. I've not got a fully operable, good-looking taskbar and softkey layout. Maybe it would have worked, maybe not. Back on topic. Though it no longer pertains to me, what could be used to skin the taskbar/softkeys in WM 6.1? All I know so far:Taskbar makeoverWisBar AdvanceTaskbar Color
