Okay,
I may stand alone here, but I HATE the new start menu that comes with WM6.5.
Does anyone know of a way to get rid of it and go back to the functional old style one from WM6.1?
Thanks

QuickMenu 2.8 from China!!!Best start-menu and task-switcher[UPDATE 02-03-2009]

Some Tips of Using QuickMenu.
Also I assume there should be some regitweaks to re-activate the classic StartMenu, keep searching and post here!
Start -> Settings -> Today
Click on the 'Items' tab at the bottom.
Uncheck 'Windows Default' to get rid of the crappy sliding menu, and while you are here, select the options you want on the Today page, and arrange them in whatever order you require.
Click OK until you are back at the Today Start page.
Viola!

You can't do it.
The new menu is selected as 'Windows Default'. When it is selected, it unchecks all the others.
It's all or nothing. Old menu style and move stuff about, or new menu style but you are stuck with its layout.
you havent understand, in windows default(actually i like this new home screen) i want to reoreder "tabs", first is picture(it says no photos because i dont know how to change default folder in pictures and videos) second music....and i want that first is clock than text than music than pictures...
so i dont want to change order of old homescreen, i want to change order in new win default home screen!!
It can only be done through a registry tweak.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CHome
And change keyname ExtensibilityXML to
<Plugins Order="CClock;CMyPhotos;CMusic;CWelcomeCenter;CPhone;CVoicemail;CText;CEmail;CAppointments;CHomeFavs;CWindowsLive" CPRFileName="Titanium" DisplayStyle="Titanium" />
Or similar, depending on what is in it in the first place.
Go to Start -> Settings -> Today -> 'Items', uncheck 'Windows Default' and press OK (To deactivate it)
Go to Start -> Settings -> Today -> 'Items', and check 'Windows default' then press OK (To restart it)
The Clock is now at the top!
P.S. This was discovered by messing around with the 6.5 emulator images, and using VS remote tools to read/edit the emulator's registry. Just check the keys on a real phone are the same or similar.
danke schon
Or Dotfred's Start Menu which runs as a service. No .exe to start.Running from the start button.
I´m quite happy with start menu of 6.5 you can reorder it or what ever you want
But also htchome is nice and less RAM eating!

It seems to be not very easy to skin / change anything on the today screen / startmenu on WM6.5

may i ask for same thing,
AGAIN?
i mean - old wm 5-6 menu method?
if someone doensn't know - 2 mb mem is lost by that new..by that fail.
lets say i need these 2 mb.
i am not interested in cpr edits - it is not that idea(cutting cpr insides off provides these 2 mb, BUT - it is not good idea).
do not tell me about quick menu - i am using it since i found it, but - again - IT IS NOT the idea - 2 mb is lost by that ridiculous m$ menu, still.
old shell32 and aygshell is not method too - provides instability and functions loss.
i checked EVERY line of dlls related to find potential clue, there is NO reg value in hexes that provides old menu there....
sad to see, that cotulla stopped working on it...
i assume, it may be something not really possible, then. ;/

Forget 6.5 and stay on 6.0(1)

dude, plz..i am rommaker,
i can clearly see why i want what i want - 6.5 provides outstanding flash(vide - flashtros, cracktros) experience i need;
it provides amazing performance of emulators i am using(snes, sega, atari xl, neogeo etc).
it provides very good pdf and cbr loading times too.
my question is clearly technical.
i am using asus p525 and i can UNDERCLOCK it to (still) have 100% snes emulation with maxxed out sound on 23017(try this on htc lol), it is amazing, trust me.
i need that power, BUT i need more RAM free.
i got rid of every thing i could like titanium, keyboards, wisplite, useless m$ today plugins, and much more, and i still need MOAR memory free.
of course, if someone knows, how to make wm03 mem management available to use with 6.x, i would be pleased hearing it...
then i could have 80 mb mem free, not 29 ffs.
are there GOOD maniacs to tell me some NOT common ideas?
xdadev been such place...long time ago.
btw - my m8 made THIS(yes, it is 6.5, and, yes it is OLD menu ;p, but..disadvantages of method used made it just proof of concept):

At least you found a way to resurrect the old menu style.
More menu stuff here and here
Nothin,
Me too already stuck on the same issue for a while.
By now what I know is:
You can kill the WM65 start menu in several ways, like using WkTask or MagicButton, or null the cpr.
But once you kill it you must have a replacment, otherwise will lose UI. By now QuickMenu is still best replacement.
I've only noticed that on some Samsung Ominia devices running earlier builds of WM65 they can recall the WM61 classic start menu by a start.exe.
I've asked somebody to upload that file with no response.
I've also downloaded several ROMs from Modaco, but I can not use HTC ROM Emige Editor toeextract files from them.
For more info and thread links, please just search for my post in the past month.
Hey there guys!
Is there a way to change the date format on the Home screen of the Diamond2? The Regional Settings of the OS do not apply to the Home screen of TF3D (i can only choose the YY-MM-DD format anyway...). On the Diamond you could change the date format on the Home screen using the Sushi's Diamond TF3D Config tool, and it worked like a charm. The app doesn't work on the Diamond2 tho. I would like to change the date format on the Home screen to DD.MM.YY as it is the normal date format in my country. Any help?
Cheers!
Use advanced onfiguration 3.3, you get an error but you can change your date format to different types.
Thanx a lot! It worked.
Happy to help, glad you sorted it mate.

where is the options under?
Open Advanced config, then menu, more settings then touchflo 3d.
I do this "Advanced config, then menu, more settings then touchflo 3d", I ignore the error, I put date "dddd dd/mm/yy" then ok, ignore other error, soft-reset and the date is as always: dd/mm/yy
What's the problem?
I have a Topaz and I've tried Advanced Configuration Tool 3.3 english and spanish versions, none works.
Sorry for my english!!!
Or you can simply go to Start>Settings>System>Regional Settings
Go to the "Date" tab and change it there. No need for 3rd party apps.

Thanks for your answer player911, but this doesn´t work for me, no changes in the home screen of TF3D. This is the reason to use 3rd part apps like "Advanced configuration tool 3.3" but none works. I don't know what to do.
i have a problem, i cant get extra program icons in the program section, phone came with 18, and i got a PHM registry editor from freewarepocketpc.net and tried going to hkey ect. and adding more tabs.
the boxes with a plus for adding tabs are there, but every time i try to add program, the plus stays there and in the registry it shows the program with correct path already there, but the actual icon isnt there and it takes me to "add program" screen every time i push any icon (that stays with a plus) after the 18th one.
does anyone know how to add program icons that will work???
I was planning on channing the icon which office 2010 uses for onenote because on my htc hd2 it isn't very crisp.
I have changed the other icons for things like google maps, but I can not find the ones for office 2010.
When i go into hklm\security\shell\startinfo\office mobile 2010 (beta).lnk in the registry there is no Icon string
I wondered if anyone knew where the icon string was.
If I change the one for office mobile (not 2010) will that change the icon?

I haven't tried 2010, but it sounds like you just need to create the icon value for what you want. When you install a cab file, it's pretty unlikely that it will have an icon.png and the icon reg value included. All you're seeing is the icon inside of the resources.

Thanks for the advice.
Do I then have to change the directory that the icon is being called from?
If so where is that likely to be located?
I found a link in the HTC Menu registry entry and just changed that seemed simpler. Thanks for the help
Hi All,
first of all best wishes for 2010!!
Can someone help me to change the date format on the Manila homepage of my HD2?? Whatever I change in the regional/country settings, the date on my HD2 Dutch 1.48 ROM shows di, 5 jan (tue, 5 jan). I want it to show 5-1-2010 or 5 jan 2010. Is this possible? Can somebody point me into the right direction?
Thanks in advance, Kuzibri
Manip on reg
If you want to do it yourself, go to the windows folder and find the file "17956b33_manila. Copy it onto your PC, open it with a text editor (eg notepad + +). Seeking two lines:
<trans-unit id="IDS_DATEFORMAT"> -> is the date displayed on the home below the weather
<trans-unit id="IDS_DATEFORMAT_SMALLVIEW"> -> is the date displayed on the small bar at the top when you display all the shortcuts on the home.
Then change the line right here, for me the better "d MM ddd" which will "Wednesday, December 25" For the day, if you put "ddd" you have the whole day if you put "dd" you will have the first three letters with a dot. Same for the month. For the year, yyy, yy if you put he should put 09 (I have not tested).
Then it remains you to transfer the new file to your phone and put it in the folder windows. A small soft reset, and that's it
Hope it helps
Franky
the Dutch file for changing the date format on the home screen is: 4dd5e23b_manila. Thanks to BeeGee_Tokyo.
Does anyone, by any chance, know what file to edit for the danish ROM?
Thanks in advance
