How to exit from SPB?

There is tutorial/ user manual on the left side of download link which i have given to you. Once go through that tutorial first

[anantkumar]

Hello friend,
Here are suggestion for New SPB shell theme:
1. SPB call log appearance is very nice  make it as same as for contact list.
2. Round pages animation is very slow please fix it.
etc.

thanks

Thanks u all for your appreciation    you guys are the only reason for these last breaths on spb modding 

@Amarjit:
i hope u managed to put it working

@anantkumar:
1. yeah!!! i want it too, at least to add the pics on the left side... i don't know if it is possible... i already looked to the code but i don't know how to, maybe with some tests
2. i'm not sure if i understand want u mean, but i think u are talking about animation while scrolling between adjacent pages... on my phone it works good but u can change it to another animation (like sweeping or sliding) in spb settings - try it - sliding looks cool too

by the way.... to exit spb just go to spb settings, hit the options menu button (bar's right button) and u will get the backup and exit options

Yeah its working fine. Only issue i found that when i restart the phone and spb shells starts the  screen goes blank and one more request can you remove the lifestyle button from the left of the bottom bar and add the default one

[DrunphO]

when i restart the phone and spb shells starts the  screen goes blank (...)

i don't know what is happening    and after that, what happen? sometimes while testing if something were wrong on the code i got a white screen with the topbar and a system failure message... but in that case it will not start in any way...

can you remove the lifestyle button from the left of the bottom bar and add the default one

do you mean the "carousel" button instead of the "change between layouts"? and about in lifestyle layout, do you want the carousel too? and just one more thing... when we open the options menu (right button) now we have the "carousel" on middle and home on "left", with those changes it will make more sense to have the carousel also on left, what you think about that?

it's easy to do it... and i can do it for you... just waiting for your reply

Yeah. I mean the carousal button since i never use the lifestyle layout hence that button is used rarely.

About the error while restarting, I will try to upload a video today evening when i reach home

+1 and thanks

Here we go... just rename the file attached to qa_layouts.dat, copy it to E:\Others\SpbShell replacing the existing one and restart the shell

screens added too  

about the blank screen... i'm thinking if it isn't about the options file included on the pack... so please try to remove the options files:
c:\System\apps\SpbShell_20028b16.reg
e:\Private\20028B16\SpbShellBackup.reg (e or c depending on where u install spb ms)

...and restart the shell. the 1st time it will take much time to initiate all the default layouts and after that u must change in the options the default layout to professional, but everything else will be the same

just one more thing... with this one... u will get professional layout every time u press the home button, not the last layout used

and btw...

@everyone

i forgot to mentioned in changelog but 3 more things that can be important to you:
- Links on SPB Menu in landscape will keep the same order as in portrait rather than keeping the positions
- Black texts in Shortcuts Widgets now are working in Professional and Lifestyle - black in both layouts
- and on Status Layout if u scroll up or down u will go to Professional Layout, nice if u (like me) use the professional as the standard home

+1 for the layout file. I checked spb shell without any mod but with the spb shell alone and it act the same way hence the mod has got nothing wrong in it, may be i am using custom cfw hence issue in that

ok, thanks for your feedback  

--- edit ---

and again @ everyone

i also forgot to mention that the "missed calls", "new message" and "new-emails" are real text - so it can be translated like everything else on this theme... just open your respective language file and translate the strings as you like

u can find those files on e:\Private\20028B16\ (e or c depending on where u install spb ms)

--- edit ---

again... forgot to mention... those strings were translated using google for some languages (es, pt, fr, it, de)

and probably u already notice... but on status page - u can close it by pressing the center button again

(i must update the respective post)

Why the analogue clock shows the wrong time while the digital one is correct ?
Did i miss some settings ?
