Sorry if it's been posted before, but I haven't seen it on these forums. Found a working version of one of my favorite programs netcat that works on Xperia for any of you who might be interested in network engineering. Was ported from hobbit's original netcat by Andreas Bischoff.
Just copy the celib.dll file into your windows directory. Works a bit better with a separate console utility. I've been using msconsole. Does anyone know of a better console to use? I tried pocketconsole and w32console as well, but wasn't able to get either working properly.
Would love to see a running version of nmap for CE too!
Would this work on the Windows Mobile 6 platform? I'm been trying to get Netcat to work on WinMo for a while, but with no luck.

This is an awesome shell so far I have used.
Can it be installed as a panel?

no it cant be used as a panel
I´ll wait for the Xperia one , thats generic for all .
it is very good, however the lifestyle wallpaper options are a bit limited, i copied one of the pictures and edited it to be black. I have to say it is a huge improvement on the previous version
Great program and totally workable outside of the panel interface. The today panel just replaces the need for a dedicated SPB panel, the only inconvenience being that it still runs in the background while other applications are active of course.
The only significant flaw and it is an annoying one, is that utilizing the facebook integration if you have a significant number of friends makes the phone almost unusable. I have close to 800 contact on FB and my phone literally takes 30-90 seconds to respond to input if I utilize any aspect of the facebook integration. If a name is not detected as associated automatically and you must select, it also makes you scroll through an entire graphical list. A task which can take 5 minutes instead of the 5 seconds it would if they let you type the contact name or search within your friends.
For myself the FB integration was an important features I am hoping they are able to better test and correct the existence of this behavior.
Dont work as a panel ?
Is it possible to keep the today screen of windows mobile ?
Sure, you can use the regular windows mobile today screen, and have SPB mobile shell as a program rather than as a panel. In fact, that's what I did with the previous version of mobile shell. I always found it to be a bit laggy as a panel, but it works great as a program.
I've just installed the trial version, and will likely buy it after trying it out for awhile. Looks great so far! I use TF3D, and it's one of the programs in my programs tab, so that I can access it quickly.
How about memory and speed
I've an old P3600. For me is very important to install programs that are speed and light. How about theese features between SPB Shell 2.15 (in use on my ppc) and 3.0?
Thanks
Hi all.
Maybe you already know, but there is already a 20 page + thread on Spb Mobile Shell 3.0:
xda-developers > General discussion > Development and Hacking
SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 - The Features....
I suggest where possible we try and share experiences on the one thread so that all valuable feedback can be found in the same location?

Hi there,

Is anyone experiencing problems with the SMS/MMS icon not displaying messages recieved?
Everytime i recieve a text, it shows on the top of the windows task bar as normal but not on the SPB Shell itself, the missed calls icon works fine on it though
I'm using this on the Xperia X1
Any help on this would be grately appreciated.
SMS Icon
Not sure why it is not showing up in your device, Just tested with my Xperia & it is working fine. To isolate the issue please check by removing SPB mobile & reinstall again.
Regards
someone know how to DELETE the call history??
Delete Call History
Need to open dialer, select call history & delete from there or also you can go out from the shell & delete the call history.
Regards,
X1 is freezing panel button is clicked and spb mobile shell in installed

I thought someone should start a thread Window Mobile phone series because there is very little community discussion about them. They run off the 6.1 pro version. I personally have had a some success modifying my Traveler 127. i installed M2D in landscape mode thanks to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=488017 the only problem with the install with that i had to use Manila2D 1.00.1819.2926 build to get the interface itself to run but other than that, its great. i can't remember where i got that build but i still have the file and can upload if needed. But anyways I think these are great phones and with everyones help I'm sure they can be even better.
I really can't be the only person with one of these phones, can I?

Well unfortunately i have no idea how to cook ROM's, I'm really hoping by starting this thread that it will catch the eye of someone who can, also the more people that see this thread, the more people that may responed with new ideas, programs and interfaces that they have got to work on their Traveler.
The more we talk the more this thread stays on the first page of the forum and everyone gets to see it.
So thanks for replying, by the way what Programs or Interfaces have you tried on your Traveler 117
Hey buddy,
Actually, I didn't start to handle deeply this traveler.. I am really waiting for some good news about the resources to cook a new rom for it.. because I really don't like this current WM version.
If someone reads this and have access to this information, please post here.
Regards,
you should really the M2D interface i posted. I wasn't at all impressed with SPB Mobile Shell that came with my Traveler 127. So after about two weeks of hunting and trail and error (obviously not every second was dedicated to finding this, i do have to work for a living) I forund M2D interface (HTC Homescreen interface) which acts as a Today Screen Plugin for our WM6.1 pro devices. It's really slick and works with error. I also found an "touch and sweep" type that works with our devices that allows you to scroll like the iphone rather than using the scroll bar itself. I can post this as well if anyone is interested.
Cheers

id you try to install spb shell 3.0 which comes with pharos 137 and see if you'd like it. i upgraded my pharos 117 spb shell from 2.0 t0 3.0 which works nice... but i have one set back with it. my camera wont startup.. and opera 9.7 beta sometimes act up on it. but i love the shell because it works great in every other aspect, and i do not use my camera so oftten. i'll attach the cap file . you can see if it will work for you.
you the key gen to generate serial and activate the shell.

SPB mobile shell is alright but I just find there are too many steps involved in simple operations. I have infact tried a registered copy of spb mobile shell 3.0 and still too many steps. that's why I use the M2D interface, fewer steps.
What I would really like is for someone to cook a WM6.5 ROM for these phones.
Cheers
I just bought a Pharos Traveler 137 and have already installed the Topaz Comm Manager onto it. I had to change the following registry key after installing it to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > HTC > Comm Manager > WLAN > DeviceName=98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}\UFMP1
I'd really like to find out how similar the device is to HTC devices as far as hardware and ROM similarity is concerned. I'm experiencing some skipping during playback of MP3s that wasn't cured by performing a hard reset. It would be nice to fix that.
Cook a rom for Pharos Travler
Anyone get extract the files from official Pharos rom to cook a WM6.5 rom?
There has to be more than three of us with these phones, come guys start talking!
Have had my 137 for just over a week and it seems to be a good phone but the old bugbear of BT voice dialling not working is here. Problem is MS Voice command can be activated by pressing your BT headset but the audio is sent to the device, not the headset. Anyone have any ideas to get it working?
ROM update
Pharos released a new ROM update yesterday. it is the same 20778 build of wm with a Pharos build date date of 6/25/09. not seeing a lot of changes, the double tap effect with single press is still present and it has been reported the blue tooth and voice dial problem still exist. hopefully now that a rom has been released for download someone will start thinking about cooking for the device. first we need HARD SPL!!!
FYI: A mod for Pharos stated in the Pharos Forum that they are NOT curently working on release of 6.5 for any traveler device. i hope this was some sort of mistake.

hey superman4545,
I am also looking for different options and I'm interested in your findings. If you could post them would be great. particularly curious of the "touch and sweep" option you mentioned. I myself have been using FTouchSL.
A couple of things I've installed...
1. touchpal keyboard (best word suggestion and correction options I've tried to date landscapemode is not the greatest could be larger)
2. PHMregedit
3. Opera 9.7 beta
4. s2u2 latest build found unlocking works smoother when on rawbuffer instead of direct draw but don't take my word as written in stone.
5. pandora with the "vga fix" (this could still use a lot of work but glad it plays)
6. garmin xt
7. total commander
8. FTouchSL
scrolling
i have attached htc scroll. after install navigate in the registry to HKCU\ControlPanel\Gestures\Touch\Disabled and set Decimal value to 0 and soft reset. now you will have htc kinetic scrolling that will not interfere with other programs such as pointui, mobile shell 3 of TF3D.

Here you go, first download this build of the M2D interface http://rapidshare.com/files/149919545/Manila2D_1.00_1819.2926-xplode.CAB then just follow the instructions on the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=488017 But do not replace Backup file and do not do the reset defaults, and finally only install the rapidshare build, audio manager, album manage, and M2D config otherwise the interface will not loadand use these files and you should have no problems with the HTC M2D interface.
Enjoy!

Just wondering if this ROM update was for the Traveler 137?
Glad to see a thread here on this phone
I have had my Pharos 137 just about 24 hours now. What a *quirky* phone. I'm just starting to customize it a bit. Anyone else seen weird interactions with bluetooth accessories? It seems to have crashed my BT stereo headphones - they won't shut off or interact with anything, am waiting for the battery to die so I can recharge and see. (FWIW they're cheap Best Buy house brand - Insignia)
Pandora will work on this phone. A bit challenging to get it installed, still haven't figured out a graceful way to shut it down. Very cool having 3g speed for Slingplayer Mobile.
superman4545,
yes, the updated rom is for the Pharos Traveler 137.

thanks for the cab jlavoie also thanks to you superman...
One quick question for ya jlavoie...or anyone that might know for that matter
the scrolling works great for everything except when reading a message in outlook I can scroll through inbox and other folders but not on messages themselves any ideas? I haven't found any reference to this in particular.
Using Pharos 137 btw...
thanks again!
Hello, i was seaching some skins and add-ons for SPB MS. Can't find anything with google, only the Sense ui. Is there more for SPB MS?
Can anyone provide me some links to other forums/threads on XDA?
Many Thanks.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566045
Didn't find it using Google? Don't really believe this..
You can also go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=507697 for MS 3.0/3.0.1 add-ons. There's more (and better) stuff for 3.0.1 since 3.5 is newer, but it's closing the gap real fast.
Okay, so I have been playing with the XDAndroid port on my touch pro 2 (t-Mobile).
the reason I wanted to try the Port was 2 fold. 1) I was less than happy with the touch flow 3D interface and the regular interface w/ t-mobile's ROM and 2) I wanted to give android a try.
Now having more or less successfully installed the port (A couple of minor quirks that I am sure will be resolved with some more digging) I am at a crossroads.
Android hadn't totally impressed so I wanted to pose the question on what is the best way to get my touch pro 2, which is a pretty powerful phone, to operate at it's optimum speed while still having a nice and organizable interface?
Any suggestions?
thanks
Rob
BUMP - Please Help!
have u consider looking at the NRG rom? its pretty darn fast. i like it .
I haven't looked at any ROM's in particular. The ROM thread is extensive and i couldn't decipher the lingo to make heads or tails of it.
Is there a directory or site or something that breaks down each ROM?
Thanks
Rob
have you tried spb mobile shell in my opinion it works much better than touch flo and is totallty customizable. Android is fun to play with though im not sure it is good for regular use. I may be wrong on that though.
Okay so I got around to flashing an NRG ROM and the Touch Sense is certainly better than the Touch Flo3D, but I was still unhappy with it. so I tried the SPB Shell Demo and though a few quirks I like it much better.
Now the question is, how do I solve these quirks?
(Keep in mind I only have the demo version right now)
1) The Sense and NRG Rom seem to override the SPB interface for things like SMS and Email. The SPB interfaces for these look much better and would seem to function the way I want them to, but i can't figure out how to get them to work.
2) The Top Function/Task Bar is still the NRG bit and though it is graphically appealing, it doesn't seem to work quite as well as the my default TMO ROM, and doesn't seem to be necessary as part of the SPB Shell. Any ideas on that?
3) the FN (Actually ALT on my device) key on the slide out keyboard is programmed differently. i learned it is swapped with the CTRL key, so it is functional but, i am wondering if there is a way to change that?
I think if I can solve these three issues then I may just be happy enough with the SPB Shell to purchase it.
Thanks for the help!
Rob
Have you tried XDAndroid Startup Utility... It might be a lil more device specific and pick up a better keyboard driver, also it allows you to easily overclock it and has backlight settings which come in handy for battery life.
1) The Sense and NRG Rom seem to override the SPB interface for things like SMS and Email. The SPB interfaces for these look much better and would seem to function the way I want them to, but i can't figure out how to get them to work.
||>SPB is just something to "mask" the real phone, as soon as you want email it returns to the phone application. Click X and you get SPB back.
2) The Top Function/Task Bar is still the NRG bit and though it is graphically appealing, it doesn't seem to work quite as well as the my default TMO ROM, and doesn't seem to be necessary as part of the SPB Shell. Any ideas on that?
||>There may be a "full screen" function (don't remember).
3) the FN (Actually ALT on my device) key on the slide out keyboard is programmed differently. i learned it is swapped with the CTRL key, so it is functional but, i am wondering if there is a way to change that?
||>You can download many keyboard languages/ versions, just need to find out what phone version you have combining the right language.
Also every Rom has there own build in language/ version of keyboards.
