I have an Alltel HTC Touch Pro, and decided to try the SPB Mobile Shell.I love it. Except for 1 huge detail: I don't like the windows media library setup.
I really actually enjoyed the touchflo3d audio manager, it was neat, versatile, and very FINGER FRIENDLY, unlike wmp...
Is there any way to use the touchflow 3d audio manager on SPB Mobile Shell?
If not, can anyone explain how to use the htc audio manager? It appears to be a usable substitute:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308366
That forum is for the Wizard, and I don't see why it refuses to work for the TP. There is a CAB file for the software in that thread, and it appears to install correctly, with the program file in my program list, etc. However, even after a soft reset, when I click on the audiomanager program, NOTHING happens. It exits the program list, and simply goes back to SPB Mobile Shell.
Help?
Hi,
i'm very interested in this too. Is there any answer?

you can download this version which i modded to include Smartlyrics. If you get an error telling you to many people have download it than ask if someone can post it as i no longer have the cab.

Hmm, that is not a solution i think,
you still don't get a mediaplayer-like widget for audio manager.

You know, the one thing that would tip me over the contribution threshold would be to get MS Voice Command 1.6 to install on my Ameo/WM6. Every time, I get to the point where I am asked where to install it (device, sdcard, or microdrive, all with 60mb+ free), choose "device", then see the first block of the installer's progress bar. After a short delay, it tells me "Unable to install Voice Command due to insufficient space or insufficient permissions. Free additional device storage space and try again." The try-agains are pretty old now, each storage device blowing out the same way.
Annoyingly, it worked on AP Touch 2.0. More annoyingly, it does this with both my purchased copy, and those backup copies you may find at the less reputable windows mobile websites.
Any ideas of a workaround? I'm lost without VC on this device. Any rom cookers have any idea if a certificate or something is required, or omitted from the rom? Has anyone else managed to get it to successfully work?
TIA(DIA!)
you can always try cyberon

Are you installing from the PC or PDA using cab file? I have no problem with MSVC 1.6 and my x7500. I do install from the cab file on my pda, not from my pc..
If not using cab file, try putting the cab file on your pda and installing from there.
My MSVC and plantronics 510 work without any issues at all. Works great!
i had a similar issue with a few of my programs.but i solved it by doing a soft reset and that did the trick.im currently running a htc x7501 with pk 3,msvv 1.6 and motorola s9 w/no issues.hth
Hi guys,
as always, thanks for all the assistance you guys throw out... always a nice place to be.
Cyberon is ... well, you get what you pay for. It's joyless. I have no friends, so I need MSVC to have some dialogue in my life. "Play Media" I cry! "What would you like to play, by artis-" "BY ARTIST!" "Play Unknown, Unknown, Unknown, Podcast, Unknown, Unknown or Unknown?" "UNKNOWN!" and off it goes, my breezeblock of a phone still in my bag, people around me solidly convinced of my extensive social network.
Anyway. Installation. I looked into the Cyberon page you mentioned, Irus (thanks!), and there's some registry cleaning stuff around there. I'm going to try that, on the off-chance it's blocking the voice command install.
(if anyone's watching, had great success with the sony ericsson HBH-DS970 and HBH-DS980 headsets... handle stereo, voice command over bluetooth, and shows incoming ring numbers. Apparently both 'multipair' with different devices, but not played with it too much yet... only downside is they charge with SE's proprietary new chargers)
Eagle, yes, it's off the cab file. I am trying my original exe installer, the original cab, and a couple of warm versions I've seen around the place. None of 'em like it. Soft reset, reboot, power off... everything short of a hard reset.
Maybe I'll backup, hard-reset, and try installing to a clean v3 install. Gotta say, after playing with v2 of this rom, I was suffering. Hard reset and restore every few days. Other than this VC install issue (which may not even be a rom issue, it may be some other cruft I installed later), this rom is rock-solid, responsive, and reliable. It's the first time I've been on a WM device and felt like I could both count on it, and get some work done too. Top marks to the whole team (shuffles off to donate... )
HARD RESET and it works!
Baffling. So... do I uninstall things till I find the problem? Or reinstall from a hard reset (considering I've *only* just resolved 5 days of inactive sync grief...)
oh... donations to Athena Project on their way. Spend wisely!
hi davernee,
I have ms vc 1.6 running with pk 3.0. installed first pk, than adobe reader 2.0 followed by pk add-ons and finally ms vc.
no probs with installation. just needed to install th pk 1.0 fix for ms vc tgo get it running through headset. now working nearly perfect.
regards - dieter
I had some problems with UK english version of voice command initially then it suddenly started working after a fresh ROM build.
It may be that installing jetware (name from memory) bluetooth tools helped this work, but it continued to work after removing them so I'm not sure if this was a co-incidence.
I didn't have to make any registry changes.
I'm using a jawbone headset and a plantronics 590. Both work fine with VC except that sometimes it is difficlt to get the 590 to trigger VC. I think it needs a double click rather than a single click.
Thanks for the feedback, everybody... maybe something misfired while I was setting it up the first time. Hard reset cleaned it all up, everything reinstalled, WMDC working (touch wood), backed up. Hope that helps anyone in a similar situation - hint: keep all your installation cabs and keys in a folder on your microdrive.

A reboot was all it took for me - these dual profile sony headsets seem a lot better with sharing music streaming and using voice command out of the box. I used to use a motorola stereo headset, but once the music started, voice command was gone... was on a WM5 though.
Never needed fixes or 3rd party tools. HBH-DS980 ( http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp...1&template=pp4_1_1&zone=pp&lm=pp4_1&pid=10895 ) if you're interested...
I'm running the DCD WM6.1 ROM for my Mogul along with SPB Pocket Plus 4.0.2.
I've noticed that often the device hangs after a reboot while loading the plugins if I have Pocket Plus enabled.
However, if I use the SPB Mobile Shell 2.0 plugin, which allows you to embed today plugins into tabs but not shortcuts and embed the Pocket Plus plugin into the Mobile Shell plugin, it works fine. (Sorry that sentence seems a little confusing.)
Anyone else have problems with Pocket Plus? Do you have any work arounds? I read something about applications all starting at the same time can result in problems but I couldn't find a way to delay the startup of a Today plugin...
I'd just use Mobile Shell but you can't put shortcuts into it's tabs other than "Home."
I have WM 6.1 & Pocket Plus 4.0.2 as well & run it with no problems. I integrate a lot of the Mobile Shell plugins into the Pocket plus tabs with no problems. DO you have the same problem when you run Pocket plus with the default tabs, i.e., no extra plugins running?
no problems
I have no problems with PP. Is it installed on the phone not the card?
I as well have the 6.1 + Pocket Plus 4.0.2, and I have had problems. Something is just not right. Usually, after a soft reset, it does hang. Takes just about 5 resets till it comes back. But, fortunate for me, I play around with a lot of different programs and have found these facts: 1) If Pocket Plus 4.0.2 is installed on the today screen, it would therefore be in the start up folder. And this is where the problem is. 2) But, if it is installed into another program that plays well with startup then, Pocket Plus is not the initial startup program and all works! So, as stated, SPB Mobile Shell is an excellent fix. But, I personally use Ultimate Launch. That program is the $*it! If your not willing or don't want neither programs this, I'm afraid will always happen. Maybe it's something with the rom or perhaps, Pocket Plus but, never the less it's there but, can be avoided.
yeah, i have the same issue, it keeps part of the green wm6.1 spash and the pp plugin is non responsive, if i let it sit it will lock up the entire device, if i hit the start menu key and launch something from there liek file explorer then close it right away its fine
In startup not the problem
I have alsways have Pocket plus in my startup. It is the core of my Home screen. It loads with no problems at all. There must be something else interfering as that is not the problem.

ive only had the problem with wm6.1, are you running 6.0 or 6.1?
6.1
I am running 6.1 Professional.
With which kitchen did you compile your 6.1 rom?
Hmmm... I have personally had this problem since gettin the DCD 6.1 kitchen with Pocket Plus. And so have many others. I can not possibly see how your not having the same exact issue unless you are cooking in a different kitchen or someone else compiled the rom (using a different kitchen).
kitchen
Flashed mine a while ago, but I am fairly sure that it was Randomize. It is called Storm 2.1
Has anyone come across a HTC touchflo cab that works on Athena? Have been searching unsuccessfully for such a cab that works on wm6 and above. Anyone?
You Mean the rotating cube??
No I think he means the tochflo driver that is also in AP4 and AP5. Yes I would like it also.
I'm not interested in any today plugin, I think it is too limiting (for example there very limited program that you can launch) and would much much prefer using iLauncher Thumb together with SBSH pocket weather, spb time, and spb phone suite. I personally find the cube to be a troublesome gimmick that takes way too many swipes just to do something simple. Manila, or whatever it is, just slows the system down too much also, or at least this is my impression from the posting made by others.
What I want is only the equivalent of Ftouchflo, but with sound, and hopefully, does not mess up the Opera browser. I don't need all the swiping up, swimping down, swimping at the corner stuff. Just to scroll with thumb would do.
mmm
But for Athena esixt HTC CUBE ??
I don't Founf it
I have bought it 3 days ago, Flash it with AP DUAL 3.0
but with Tytn I was more fast to open music Photo and Video..
with htc cube
I have problem with htc Album, when I open It, after the 4th photo, automatly close i can' do nothing
With standar Photo & video I have no problem...
Hi there,
Bluetoggler is a very simple application that allows you to toggle bluetooth (Off / On / 'Discoverable') on your WM6 device. When you run it, it switches your Bluetooth radio on or off or to 'discoverable', depending on the state it was in. There's a 5 sec. timeout to enable tristate switching. (Just see it for yourself, then you'll know what I mean)
Why:
I was getting tired of all the trouble one has to go through, just to enable or disable Bluetooth, so yesterday I wrote this application. I thought it might be nice to share it with other people who encounter the same problem, so here it is.
I really don't know if there already are other applications which do the same thing. If so, Bluetoggler might be a nice alternative. If not: have fun with it.
This application uses the .NET compact framework 3.5 and I tested it on my HTC Touch Pro. (Rom: 5.05.404.1 NLD, Original update from HTC). Of course I do not provide guarantees or can be held responsible for damage blablabla...
I think it's allways nice to hear what others think of something you've created, so please feel free to comment or send me an email at:
brrrbaybay (<_AT_>) gmail (_._) com.
Friendly regards,
Joost Haverkort (BrrrBayBay)
WM6.5 compatible??
WM 6.5?
Haven't tried that. It's compiled for the .NET compact framework 3.5, and I assume that WM6.5 will provide backward compatibility with WM6 or 6.1.
It runs fine on my original HTC ROM with WM6.1.

Check It: http://thewingster.com/bluetoggler.aspx
Ur app has been added to The Wingster! Feel free to post that link anywhere you'd like!
Nice App!
This is nice!
I love this!!
Thank you Joost!
Since you wrote the app.. is there a chance that you can add some options..
· When the phone button is press or the exe is active, enable bluetoooth
· When you hang up the phone disable bluetooth
· When you hang up the phone do nothing to the bluetooth
· When a call comes in enable bluetooth
Thank you for your contribution to the forum.. I am currently using AEButton to triple clock a button to turn it on and off cause there was nothing that did it automatically.
Extra functions
@Eazy:
I really like you ideas, though I'm not sure if I'll implement them due to lack of spare time :s
I'm considering buying the HTC Touch Pro 2. If that device also has crappy bluetooth toggling, I'll certainly update BlueToggler.
Bluetoggler source dump
Hi all,
I decided that if I'm not continuing to work on this application I might as well give away the source code. It's not much (understatement), but here it is. Have fun with it.
Friendly regards,
Joost Haverkort
Ps.
This application needs the "Embedded source tools for bluetooth" package from microsoft to compile.
delete "On-Discovery" mode?
Can anyone make another version with the "On-Discoverable" option out of it? That is, just have it as "On" and "Off"? I have a Sprint/HTC Touch Pro, and I love this program, but I don't want to turn on the discovery mode. I just want on/off.
Compatibility with WM 6.5
The purpose of BlueToggler interrest me because i want to implement a bluetooth application on WM 6.5.
However, when I run it, it doesn't switch my Bluetooth radio because it can't check the state it was in.
I tested your application on my HTC HD mini T5555. (Rom: 1.07.401.1 (85429) WWE, Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional).
No compile error, the program just doesn't apply.
Perhaps, Microsoft.WindowsMobile.SharedSource.Bluetooth.dll doesn't work on WM 6.5.
If someone knows why it doesn't run correctly, it'll be great to answer me as he can.
Hi,
I am glad the Mega is getting some more attention from the forum.
Is it possible to install a clean windows mobile ROM without the HTC stuff.
I actually like the new standard zune-ish UI and would like to get rid of the HTC stuff.
Is that possible, eg. hard reset next soft reset during reboot of HTC progs?
anybody any ideas?
thx again
At the moment,you can't,because HardSpl doesn't exist for this model yet.Without HardSpl you can't flash custom rom.You,and all of us ,must wait for hardspl.When,nobody knows...
Cheers
you can always just disable the HTC shell
@donsjon, thx but that is what i already do.
however, i suspect sometimes conflicts between audiomanager and mediaplayer.
I use the windows interface all the time but sometimes when i select the mediaplayer from the today screen, it starts playing but at the same time blocks any other wmp controls such as opening the library no opening the wmp prog from the programmes list etc. It just blocks evrything but continues to play in the background. i need to reset the device or switch to the audiomanager.
so because i prefer to continue with a clean windows ui i wld like to get rid physically of all the htc stuff.
guess i will have to wait for spl ...
You can also disbable the service entries in registry. Put for testing an ";" in it. Look at "HTCBootLaunch" an "Services", there all the modules from HTC and your
Provider.
If you want the winmo home screen alone, you can get that from
Start->settings->today-> uncheck htc touchflo and enable windows mobile default
OK to disable Manila2D, but all other HTC-Stuff running in background.
