hi, i remember that recently i read somewhere how to fit more items on a start menue
does anyone know how?
i have searched much cannot seem to find it.
i did it before and it was realllly simple and cannot seem to find it again.
I'm gonna be honest I've looked too and I can't figure out how to disable the enlarged start menu. I know we're both gonna feel kinda silly when it's an easy fix but if that's what you're talking about count me in I need to know too! I use RRE's 4.5 SE and his screenshot shows the smaller start menu and for the life of me man I can't find out how to disable the bigger one! =x
disabling the large start menu is under touch flo options in settings.
Haha thank you so much I knew it was somewhere effin simple!! You just made my day =D
cmon someone must know how to fit more items in the start menu
anyone? know
Start > Settings > System > TouchFlo > (uncheck) Enable large Start Menu
Or you can use a standalone Start Menu program like QuickMenu which offers a lot of great features (long-tap start menu, in-line submenus, custom layout, etc). Have a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340358
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471861 <-- see this thread for how one user customized his menu.
this program is incredible, i cant believe i never used it before
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471861
the second one is the good one, first one. no.
I have the best start menu ever n ow, and lag is so far away i forgot it even exists on phones.
I know the background of the start menu can be changed by:
1) changing the phones wallpaper like normal
OR
2) replacing the startmenu_background_screen_"resolution".png from within the windows folder.
The second is only if you want a different wallpaper in your start menu to the rest of your phone. (the default file is just a transparent .png which shows your normal wallpaper underneath)
I know you can also change the folder icons, by changing around other png files in the window folder.
My question is how can you change the font style or more importantly the colour?
Also, is it possible to change it so it resembles the wm6.1 start menu instead of the honeycomb?
(please dont say "just use a 6.1 ROM" because i dont want to. lol. I like wm6.5 as its quicker and more finger friendly, i just want the old start menu back)
no one know how to do these things?
anyone?
PLEASE?
im desperate here
lolz
As much or as little as you wish.
Have a look at some of the stuff I posted in here :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=504320
Should answer a few of the basics.
Thanks for your reply, but those replies are about the today screen. I dont even use titanium any more. I find M2D more useful.
What i want to know is how to edit the Start menu.
the list of programs shown as hexagon icons
I want to change it to like how it was on wm6.1.
Just a grid of icons with words on a white background
OK, I have got what you are after... sounds like a registry hack somewhere....
Unfortunately the holiday(UK)/vacation(US), season is upon us, and I may not have found the solution for a week or two. If and when I do, I'll post it here and send you a PM.
Thank you.
Its appreciated

I second this question. And what I want is better not the 'grid view'.
Better we have a registry tweak way, so that we can make a HoneyComb Toggle.
In some cases when I want more RAM, it's better to shutdown the honeycomb and the titanium today plugin.
So another question is do we have a tool to toggle the titanium? Like we can do to M2D? I know we can do it through today settings, but I'm looking for a way like regitweak or mortscript, so that I can use a shortcut to map it to a hardware button, do it within one touch.
[Edit: Got some sence for the half of first question from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509160&highlight=start+menu
Seems the WM6.5 honeycomb start menu is an executable called shell32.exe. If so we can shut it down with a powerful task manager like DotFred's TaskMgr.exe or let it show up in the htc task manager by registry tweak and kill it. Will report it back after I test it next week. Or anybody can test it right now?
But the first question still need an answer.
Edit3: So what is the process or service of the WM6.1 start menu ? (for that I think it's not an exe) This may help to answer the question of how to resemble old start menu back.
And then what is titanium? An exe, a process or a service? Got a name?]
Thanks for any help.
there isnt!
there isnt a way to back to 6.1 start menu...
but you can use the Qucik menu that is a lil same... but you need to leave blank the cpr file for grid scene on your windows folder... then use the Quick menu that Utaker post on devs and hack forum just search with this exact words " Quickmenu instead honeycomb" you may get all the answer you need there... Oh and the honey comb can be modded in maaaany ways just search all over the devs a nd hack sections
thanks bye.
I REALLY hate the placement of the SIP changer when the soft keyboard is up. There are so many times when I am typing that I accidently hit that tiny little *&^%$% triangle, and it slows whatever I'm doing down until the damn chooser opens.
I'm looking for a way to either eliminate it, and possibly put the chooser it's self under the settings menu.
Start > Settings > System > SIP changer.
Or is there a way to just hide the bottom bar all together while typing? I know this is possible, because the bottom bar is hidden while using Pocket CM.
Anybody... PLEASE help. I have looked at several apps (can't remember what they were called anymore) but none of them did what I am asking. Does ANYBODY know of a good solution, or ... ya know... is anybody willing to put one together?
Hi

You are free to ask this question, but not in Dev & Hack. Moving to General Q&A.
Thank you for your understanding.

Every time I search it brings me to things I'm not looking for. Which is why I initially posted this in D & H to begin with... I was hoping for a quick solution.
Ok so firstly i have spent 30minutes checking and im yet to find it, if its already been asked/answered then sorry .
Im basically looking to remove the useless items(for me) on the home screen :
The weather- I check this on the seperate tab so i dont need it
The massive clock- Blocking majority of the screen, has time on the top right so again no need.
Disable quicklinks unless i scroll down the home page(i think this is possible already)
Calendar- Tried removing and is still there.
Im trying to minimise the stuff on the screen to admire the wallpapers , havent found a way through the options or via cab's to do any of this, if anyone has suggestions then id appreciate it .
Using duttys leo cooked rom, Manila 2.5.20113626
MaxManila (which you can find here at xda) is able to customize almost anything you might want to change - adding or hiding elements is easy.
There may be other options of course, but I think this is the most convenient.
Just make sure you install the correct version for your Manila.

thanks for the reply and links, however i did try those in that thread and i ended up with my HD2 failing to load htc sense . Id rather remove the features than make them transparent apart from the slider which i managed to make transparant .
What section is the download for MaxManila in?. Is it specific for hd2 or is it somewhere else, cant find it on its own in here so far .
edit: actually no i missed the no clock from your link! I tried the other parts originally , just tried it and it works perfectly now however i stillk need to somehow get rid of the calendar and weather along with quicklinks .
Before anyone tells me to use the wonderful search function...I have!

I have CHTE 1.8.5.1 and MIRI and DINIKs 17.4 ROM.

by start screen do you mean the start menu? if so, at least on my rom, that is the same as the windows lock screen. change the lock screen and change the start menu.
for background pics i use hdwall...
or am i missing something?
Well first , in settings home set your wallpaper, this is the default wallpaper that shows under everything that is not sense, just to make sure ...
check the box to "Use this picture" and browse to the wallpaper you want ...
That is actually wallpaper, the other ones you are talking about are actually startup screens.
Which may be why you did not find what you were looking for ....
The very first(this is actually 2 but don't worry about it) startup screen is in the ROM and can only be changed with flashing ...
The next two the static and the animated can be changed various ways but the easiest is JWMD Icon changer has a extra that lets you change them....
hi i saw a threafd with different start up animations , i think you have to edit the windows folder
