Welcome back! ;)

Do you know if this is better than SPB Keyboard 4 - which I am using right now?

Can it set itself as default after a soft reset?

@Melk - Thanks... Been busy with work... :)

Personally, i like it better than SPB Keyboard as well as HTC Touch Keyboard. (haven't tested out the Touch Pro 2 ported keyboard yet as that is buggy and doesn't work properly)

Hi, Salman.
Good to see you back, especially after the fun of the last week in your city. Hope all is good with you.

My interest is peeked by this, wondering though, do you know if this will run ok with SPB (and skins) still installed, or should i remove that one first?

@Johnny Boy - Yeah. It was horrific. I slept through most of it and found out about the incident later in the evening... ;)

As for installing the keyboard with SPB Keyboard still installed; although i haven't personally tried doing that, i think that it should create no problems at all. (Just switch to whichever keyboard you want...)

Hey Salman.
Could you tell me which files I've to download and install? I tried it with the FingerKeyb-2.0-WVGA file. I softreset my X1 but I can't select the SMS name option neither the text suggestion. If I try to open the keyboard I get an Error Message. What should I do? Thanks for your help.

@Joel - I installed FingerKeyb-2.0-WVGA.cab as well. I did not do a soft reset, and after installation i set the keyboard as default via settings.

I did however intall to internal memory and not the storage card?

Xtrakt – A 3D Game for Xperia

Now who was it that insisted that Xperia lacked a 3D chip? Thanks to itje for basing his latest Custom ROM on the leaked R3AA ROM and seperately providing CABs to some of the goodies available in the new ROM version, you can get your hands on ‘Xtrakt’ - a new 3D game by Sony Ericsson – right now! The game has really great graphics and runs quite smoothly on the device. Though it warns not to run any other applications when playing the game, it ran just fine with SPB Screenshot running besides it. Best controlled with a stylus, you control the main character of the game on a future motorcycle destroying monsters. Doesn’t sound too appealing, i know, but the game is actually good! Better than many games that i’ve played on my iPhone and opens the door to better gaming on Windows Mobile. (True that an accelerometer would have been quite handy in handling the bike, but stylus/finger control of the bike sits well with the game). To download head on here . You do not need to flash to th...

SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 – A Quick Review

SPB has finally released Mobile Shell 3.0 and simply put, it is Amazing! Once installation completes and the shell is launched, you are taken to a sleeker version of SPB Mobile Shell 2.0 home with message information, notifications, calendar, and weather. This screen is known as the Professional Home screen. But wait! with the flick of a finger up the screen, the home screen is switched to the lifestyle home screen which provides a completely different look and feel. This lifestyle home screen is fully customizable allowing the user to place widgets and application launchers of their choice on the screen as needed. Apart from application shortcuts and widgets, the user can also add calendar entries, images, contacts, and more. Furthermore, the lifestyle home screen is split across three pages – flick to the right or left to change to the page – thus allowing you to manage similar widgets on the same page. Clicking on the lower-left button activates the SPB Carrousel – a 3D interfac...

Growing Panel – More to it… (Updated)

It turns out that the Growing panel has more to it than what was initially believed of it. It is not just a cool animated panel, but has a lot more to offer. First of all let me start off by complementing the animating panel. Having run it for a couple of hours now, the first thing i noticed was that it kept changing with time. The sun went down and the moon came up, and slowly made across the sky… and now the moon is almost out of sight and the sky a bit brightened, the sun should be showing up soon. (unfortunately i won’t be able to catch the sun rising as i’ll be asleep by then…) Next are the small insects on the panel. Bees flying by, worms crawling on the plants, fireflies in the air, and snails on the ground. Hit the bee or the ladybird and the phone buzzes, hit a snail and it hides itself inside its shell and stays there – hit it again to get it moving again, hit the firefly and it flickers… This is definitely a panel worth having! Now… the functionality on the panel. As e...
