Yeah would definitely recommend this, been using it for quite some time now!
I had this on my iPAQ 2210 under WM 2003 for years, but cannot install it on my HTC TP2. I run the file PHM Pocket PC PowerToys.msi on my PC. It brings up the AS Add/Remove dialog (is that usual?) but no entries for PHM appear and nothing else appears to happen.
Is it compatible with WM 6.1?

can it be done?
tried to insatll it... lt look terrible!!!
small and smashed...
is it posible to have the HTC HOME looking normaly on our monster?
It will look 'normal' if you install real VGA and use 96 DPI. Don't know about you but that is too small for my tired old eyes!
Other than that, not yet working. Some of the AP Team have worked on other similar packages, but nothing profound solves it yet . . . . .
thanks,
ok so i did try it with 96dpi and it worked great!!!
thill seconde reboot...
and then i got just an empty space where the HTC HOME was...
if i try to remove it from today and bring it back it doesnt help..
i could see in PK great ROM that he uses the HTC HOME...why do i have the problems????

after the empty htc home plug i have install the HTC Home Customizer --> start this customizer and choose the clock you want, und there is a setting named "todayscreen locked" & "todayscreen unlockes" --> i choosed unlocked and after i make my settings (time style, icon styl,...) it worked and it will never be empty
Hi everyone. I have a Dual and also a tyttn. I have made my tyttn with the 6buttons htc home and everything works grate, I also had the audio manager on that. The problem is on the Dual because the icons are not displayed right on the home in general, programs etc. What can a do to fix that. Thanks in advance.
P.S. what about manilla 2D is it worth trying on both my htc. Thaks in advance

Did you use the right cab for it - ie used a VGA version ratherthan a qVGA one?
Manilla (M2D) or HTC Home - choice depends on taste and functionality. M2D is easily skinnable, but you lose a fair bit of the calender display - if one is busy, it will not display too many lines of appointments etc. Just give it a try and see. You can always switch between both easily.
Overview
From the creator of TouchFlo Detacher comes Mobile Shell 3 Toggler! This is a sister app (at least in spirit) to TFD.
MS3T allows you to quickly and easily switch between the classic Today screen and SPB Mobile Shell 3 by using shortcuts which can be assigned to hardware buttons, links in MS3 itself, etc.

CodePlex
Mobile Shell 3 Toggler is hosted on CodePlex: http://ms3t.codeplex.com/
Current features
MS3T adds the following links into the Mobile Shell folder in your Programs folder.
[Close Spb Mobile Shell] - Kill the MobileShell.exe process
[Hide Spb Mobile Shell] - Show the classic Today screen
[Show Spb Mobile Shell] - Show Mobile Shell 3
[Toggle Spb Mobile Shell] - Show Today if MS3 is visible; Show MS3 if Today is visible
[SmartToggle Spb Mobile Shell] - Similar to Toggle, but it will only toggle if you are already on the Now or Today screen. If you are in another app, it returns to the Now or Today screen. That's what makes it smart.
Limitations
- If you try to assign SmartToggle to the HTC Home button (using AE Button Plus, for example) on your HTC device, it will only work as a regular Toggle. The reason is that the home button always returns to the Today screen (or Now screen) BEFORE AE is able to tell SmartToggle to run. So, SmartToggle sees that you are currently on the Today screen and will toggle accordingly. The same problem will probably also exist with any other similar type of button on other manufacturer's devices.
- On MS3 version 3.5, MS3T may not work when combined with Second Today to give you MS3, TF3D, and Today simultaneously.
How it Works
I wanted to briefly explain how MS3T works for anybody else interested in extending this idea in other (hopefully free) apps.
Mobile Shell 3 has a window using the class SpbNow_MainWindow. This window is a part of the MobileShell.exe process. If you send a particular message to this window, it will tell Mobile Shell 3 to hide or show. This is how the links inside MS3 and the "Spb Home" link on the Today screen work. I imagine there are probably many other messages that may control some pretty cool things, but I haven't explored too deeply. I was only interested in the show/hide messages. I discovered this by using DotFred's Task Manager and analyzing all the window messages going to the various windows owned by MobileShell.exe. I noticed two non-standard messages whenever I showed or hid MS3. Then I sent those messages from my app and, voila! It worked! MS3T was born. Interesting side note: the window that all the MS3 graphics are drawn onto has the window class "Manila" just like TouchFlo. That probably would get confusing if you are running both at the same time. lol.
Action, Message, WPARAM, LPARAM:
Hide MS3, 0x82BC, 1, 0
Show MS3, 0x8258, 1, 0
Another message, 0xC005, seems to happen very regularly when using MS3. I think it might be "refresh screen" but I'm not sure. WPARAM and LPARAM are both 0 in this case.
AFTER UPGRADING MOBILE SHELL VERSION
If you upgrade Mobile Shell 3 to a newer version (for example, from 3.0.1 to 3.5), you should reinstall Mobile Shell 3 Toggler. The reason is that MS3T installs its shortcuts into the Mobile Shell 3 folder and the upgrade can mess them up.

Do you mean WM5? give it a try. I wasn't sure because I developed the app in Studio 2008 and targetted my device (WM6.1) but if it works, let me know and I'll update the top post.
How it works
Added an explanation of how MS3T works to the top post. I'm hoping this might inspire others to dig into MS3's window messages and find some other cool things we can do with it.
Work on WM 6.1 on a Palm Treo Pro?
Since the Palm Treo Pro (running WM 6.1) was made by HTC, I never know whether or not the software here on this site will work on it. Will it?
Palm Treo Pro
Of course it will!
Why do you think it shouldn't work?
The important thing is usually the OS, not the exact device (unless it's something specific like TouchFlo3D which you probably don't have...)
(I want a Treo Pro as well... )
Where do you go to assign the hardware key for this program?
Palm Treo Pro

Why would I think it would not work? I don't know why some of the software wants me to pick between QVGA or some other resolution. At times, the 320 x 320 is a problem, as the software is too big (or too small) for the screen.
I am soooooooo glad that I found Mobile Shell (and really like their version 3), as I moved from a Palm OS to WM---ycch! Like my Treo Pro (unlocked GSM on T-mobile network), so you can't have it Until they come out with the Palm Pre in an unlocked GSM with the WebOS. Yummmm...... Then we can talk!

MobileShell 3 Toggler relies on other apps (or the OS itself) to map its functions to keys. The first place to look is under Settings then Buttons. If you are using a newer HTC device, that's usually a pretty sparse menu. lol. I personally use AE Button Plus to remap buttons to functions. If you use AE, buy it! The author doesn't get enough monetary love for such a freaking awesome app.

There is no good reason why it shouldn't, but that doesn't mean anything. Download it and try it. If it doesn't work, uninstall it. lol
Smart Toggle Issue?
Thank you for this (and highlighting it to me from Spb forum). I find the toggle works exactly as designed on my Kaiser - but I am not sure that the smart toggle is correct for me.
It will not at all cycle between the 2 home screens. The behaviour I see is that whenever I press this Smart Toggle (assigned to a physical button) I am taken to the HTC Manilla Home: from within Manilla anywhere else, and also from anywhere in Spb Mobile Shell.
BTW - I am using the Kaiser ROM PDA Corner Xv3 and the latest Spb MS3 (3.0.1 Beta 1 (build 6456))
PS - have you considered a three-way toggler to cycle between Spb Home, Manilla Home and the Today screen? This would merge your Touch Flow Detacher and Mobile Shell Toggler efforts and seems a logical next step unless a problem.
Regards
First, toggling between the three would be cool, but I just don't have time to work on it. All the source code is available for both projects. If somebody implements this, just give me a little credit! I won't say "no" but I have no plans right now. As much eye candy as TouchFlo 3D was, it just wasn't that useful to me. I find MS3 incredibly useful, even if it's not quite as much eye candy as TouchFlo. So I'm pretty sure I'm not going to use TouchFlo anymore. But never say never!
The problem you are facing with Smart Toggle is likely because MS3T doesn't know to look for TouchFlo as the top window. It only looks for the "classic" Today screen. I can add a feature to consider the TouchFlo screen the "Today" screen. That should fix it.

I'm running wm6.1 / Arrupenthals rom latest V5.9 with SPB 3.0 . After installing I can toggle to Today screen but even though I have TF3D checked in today settings it will not load when it switches from spb to tf3d. It jsut hangs on the HTC icon and tf3d does not load. any ideas?
ps - if I stop spb (shut down- kill program) tf3d loads.

Many thanks for the MS3 toggler. I also use your TouchFLO Detacher.
I am also interested in the "feature to consider the TouchFlo screen as the "Today" screen".
Hope we can have this brilliant feature soon.
Thanks again.
okay, so i have downloaded the file, copied into my touch hd, and installed it. and.. whats next? it just says everything installed successfully but whats next? how do I set or toggle the screen? sorry for noob question.
Working great on my Kaiser with MS 3 beta 3, PP+. Smart Toggle great. If it does not have any issue in the next few days, I will contribute. That was my biggest issue with MS 3 (Although I liked that I could get to phone contacts from anywhere just doing the "L" swipe in MS 2 - actually only thing I used in MS2 -... but nothing is perfect), new "show today" widget is an advancement from SPB, but your solution is the best for hardware buttoned phones as the kaiser.
Working great. Made MS 3 perfect. Dropped you a beer, thanks.
Start Launcher is a tiny program, allowing you to assign any program to a short or long tap to the standard Windows Mobile Start Button.
The program is written without Dot Net, using Native C++, so it's small, does not consume resources. Works on QVGA, VGA, WQVGA and WVGA devices with WM2003, 5, 6, 6.1, 6.5 (if the Start button placed on the left upper corner only).
Homepage (Russian site!): http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=137037
The latest version is 2.5
The program includes config utility. After install you should go to Start->Programs->Start Launcher and assign a program to separately long and short tap. If you prefer keeping default action for short tap (start menu), just don't mark corresponding field.
I use this program for WiFi radio toggling, some guys call separate launcher etc.
The program is freeware for all users, but you can donate. Any feedback is welcome.
Please, donate: PayPal.
I participated in beta testing of the program. Now it's the one of my "must have" software. Use it on my Touch HD for WiFi switch. Very useful
You told that you can use it with WVGA. But you can choose only between VGA and QVGA?
What about WVGA?
Does not matter, VGA or WVGA. It's only for Start Button coordinates. Will work
Thanks .
Thanks, very useful !! but where i can find the different parameters for the other function ?
thx
B
Bigbest, in manual to program which you want to execute
Bigbest, what do you you mean - other function? What are different parameters? If you mean - what are parameters of a program? you should look in it's documentation. Start Launcher allows launch anything with (it's pro!) any parameter.
You can launch simple applications without any parameters - should work.
thanks to all for the answers !!
yes it means:

Can I use this to mark all inbox messages read? Or would that require a separate program that this launches? It would be extremely helpful when reading from the preview in touchflo.

Why not? Just find a way to create shortcut for reading your inbox. Then you just assign this shortcut and all done
Would you pls post the cab? My work network is blocking the downloading link...
Thanks
Here we go ..
In any case you can download actual version following the homepage. But you have to register.

Try it Valuable experience. Don't forget to sign your device.
Is it right that the prog assign only the left upper corner? Because with the new 6.5 (build 23060) bottom start-sign it doesn´t work. Or can I "map" it to the left bottom?
