We are almost finished with mShell 3.0 and now need some beta testers. Are you interested? If yes, send me an email (info@m-shell.net). Currently we have only the version for S60 3rd edition finished, so if you have a different phone you can't participate.

We stated that mShell v3.0 will be released in the beginning of July, now it is beginning of July and you might ask where our release is. We are wrapping up the project but had to face quite some difficulties with implementing the compiler. Especially to solve the problem of application signing keeps us still up. Even though we cannot release it yet we are almost finished and hope to release it soon. Stay tuned.

We are planing to release the new version of mShell 3.0 beginning of July. It will include following features:

• Script compiler for standalone apps. Only self signed capabilities available though.
• New language feature: OOP.
• More standard modules like video, screen capture, image alpha blending.
• Bug fixes and some still secret features.

Since the developer certificate of mShell expired people who tried to install it got a certificate error. I just updated the downloads here, with the new versions that will work.

We also found the bug with open signed NMIs which we also fixed. The updated NMI SDK can also be downloaded. 

When you Open Sign mShell 2.02 you get some capabilities that are not available with the self signed (standard) version. In this post I'll show you how to do this.

1. If you have an previous version installed on you phone. Uninstall it first.
   
2. Download mShell 2.02 or higher from here.
3. Go to the Open Signed web site: https://www.symbiansigned.com/app/page/public/openSignedOnline.do
4. On that site enter the IMEI of your phone. For the IMEI type on your phone: *#06#
5. Enter a valid email.
6. Select the mShell SIS file that you want to sign: mShell-S60-3rd-OS.sis for Nokia and mShell-UIQ3-OS.sis for UIQ phones.
7. Select all capabilities.
8. Enter the verification code and accept the agreement.
9. Now you will recieve a confirmation email, click the link and soon after that you'll recieve a second email with a download link. Download it.
10. Install the signed mShell SIS file on your phone.
11. (Optional) Register your copy of mShell.
    

We have just released mShell version 2.02 with the intention to provide you with several bug fixes and some enhancements. Enjoy!

We'll release version 2.02 between the 14.4-18.4.08, we will enter the testing phase next week and hope to bring this version to you as soon as possible. We are also working on the version 3.0 that will contain many new features, including a m compiler!

What will be new in version 2.02:

• Several Buxfixe.
• No more activation required, optional registration.
• Minor functional enhancements (e.g. editor, gettings scripts from inbox).
• 3rd ed SIS suitable for Open Signing.
  

The web activation is available again. Note that this way of activating your mShell version works only for mShell and not for mVNC. This is because mShell is bound to the phone (trough the IMEI) and mVNC to the SIM card.

The activation will send you a signed SIS to the provided email, you can then install that SIS file on your phone.

Here you find the web activation.
