SPB software has been by far one of the best Windows Mobile software developers, they have recently shown interest in the iPhone market as well with the release of SPB Wallet for the iPhone ( only US I guess coz I cant get it from the Aussie Store ), but they have not forgotten about us Windows Mobile Windows Phone ( .. um this is going to take a while to get used to ) users. After the huge, huge success of SPB Mobile shell 2.0 we have the next version shown off in a youtube video by PavelKleinSpb
You can install the real Omnia Interface on your Pocket PC, but if you cant get the Omnia Interface to install properly on your device , there is one other alternative thanks to greatbal from xda-dev. You will need to have SPB shell for this Theme to work.
How to install:
1) Download zip file attached.
2) Extract on your hard drive.
3) the .tsk file should be put in to /Windows or / My Document folder for the device as any normal theme file. then select that theme from Start > settings > today
4) Copy all extracted .dat files from Omnia SPB Mobile Shell 2.1.2 Theme to your device’s \Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell directory.
5) Soft reset device.
There are four versions available for download below. They include:
1) WM7 Standard Analog – Analog clock on the Now screen, single Contact page and no MRU page.
2) WM7 Standard Digital – Same as above except has a digital clock on the Now screen.
3) WM7 Professional Analog – Analog clock on the Now screen cycles with a Calendar page, 3 Contacts pages, and MRU page that cycles with the Launcher page.
4) WM7 Professional Digital – Same as option 3 but has a digital clock on the Now screen.
Carbon theme is based on single background images, and integrated into 3 different areas of my phone. These 3 areas are
Today Screen: Windows Mobile 5.0 and Higher (possibly reverse compatable with earlier versions) *Integrated into the Mobile Shell install CABs Dialer Pad: Requires hardware support send/end keys Spb Mobile Shell 2: Support versions 2.0 and 2.1 features
We had a Windows Mobile 7 Skin for Spb Mobile Shell posted a few days back here. Now we have yet another one which looks great as well. This one also has Landscape support, Weather Tabs & Digital clocksas in HTC Diamond skin.
One of the best Windows Mobile 7 Theme/Skin I have ever seen , it looks fantastic. Kudos to luiggi from xda-dev for putting this sharing it with the rest of the PPC users.
Note : This is a skin only theme for Portrait mode only and 240×320 QVGA Only
This theme shows the meeting of glacier with inferno. The theme files for today screen and the skin files for SPB Shell for both VGA and QVGA are available.
