 SPB Software House has just released an update to it’s well-known and one of the most popular applications for Symbian phones. The new application has reached now to version 3.8 and comes with a bunch of tweaks and features. The previous version was compatible only with Symbian 5th, S^1 and S^3 phones. The new version also supports Symbian Belle. This is the one and only application that comletely takes over the boring Symbian user interface while keeping all advantages of your mobile device.

The SPB Mobile Shell 3.8 let you enjoy 10 homescreens by default which can further be extended to as many pages as you can. You can add your favorite widgets and application shortcuts on your homescreen. You can easily switch to any screen by swiping your finger  horizontally or vertically, or simply by activating the 3D carousal. Thus, you can add photo contacts, picture frame, weather, wireless switches, phone profile, appointments and tasks widgets, etc.

There are so many people who want to edit the Spb Mobile Shell to customize it in their own way and share their creation with the world. So here is a short article that will try to give you a step by step guide for modding the Spb Shell. I have had so many requests from my friends and others to tell them about modding the Shell. Since it was not possible to write a guide every time one asks you on a specific problem, I decided to prepare a wholesome account of the procedures.

The Spb Mobile for Symbian consists of two elements: the rle/bmp files that are made by converting a png file, and the xml part that lies inside all the dat files along with the rle/bmp files. The rle/bmp is related to the visual effect of the shell, while the xml entries define the function, arrangement and positioning of the elements of the Shell. Thus, for example, you will not be able to see any graphical widget unless there is an entry for it in the Widgets.xml (that is found inside the qa_layouts.dat) and the Index.xml (that is found inside every widget dat file). Thus, inside each va_xxx.dat there is the images of that widget ( 2 .bmp files for one image or 1 .rle file) and an archive called index.xml that contains the widget´s properties.
