I have seen 6.5 roms with the ability to pop up the programs tab in Manila. I need to run a 6.1 rom for compatibility with a Redfly unit, but would like the Start menu button to pop up the programs tab rather than a "start menu". Is this possible?
I have tried a few cabs/reg hacks floating around but wasnt able to enable what I desire, so I was thinking it might be a 6.5 specific thing. Hopefully not.
I am running SSKs 6.1 ROM with Manila 2.1 on a Sprint TouchPro.
Thanks.

I just flashed my fone with various 6.5 ROMS, and ive settled with 5.08.502.1 WWE, but i dont think its the final 6.5 version.
it doesnt have the finger tab swipe thingie at the top of the screen, this one actually has tabs and the contact program in it is basically from 6.1.
i was wondering since i i been lookin for a "close to official" ROM as possible, does the official release on 6.5 have the start menu on the botton or top?
does anyone know of a build that is as close to the original M$ release, either without the TF3D or able to turn it off and use the large windows home screen, cos all the roms i have had when u turn TF3D off it goes into 6.1 style home screen and there isnt the "Windows Default" item in the Today settings.
or is there a way to take the bits i want from multiple ROMs and stick them in my own?
any help would be amazin
is there/can someone create a 6.5 rom without the touchflo included?
is this possible? (if its been created, please point me in the right direction. thanks)

Check out NRGZ's "Titanium" only includes the Titanium today plugin, which is the default Windows Mobile 6.5 homescreen interface. No Manila (TF3D) in this version.

actually i was looking for no interface at all in a rom. not just disable it, just the screen like the mogul, but 6.5 so i can have the start menue that 6.5 offers.
edit: Well, I'll have to put a raincheck on that till I have some more time.
why not just disable the respective today screens?
Yea in all the 6.5 roms you can revert back to that blank home screen.
Just go to start -> settings -> today and look for the "items" tab and just uncheck everything hit ok and when you got back to the home screen it should be just like the old school 6.1 home screen.
Hi all.
How can I achieve this? I want my Topaz with WM 6.5 have the same behavior with start as it was with 6.1.
only way i know of doing that is by installing quick menu. http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-quickmenu-v2-7.html
Well the start menu was redesigned.
Manila has it's own special start menu that is opened by tapping in the top left corner (where the Start button was). It is very similar to QuickMenu.
The good thing about the stock start menu is it is highly customizable. If you search the threads you can find start menus that contain 2 rows... and even 1 row (list) similar to Quick Menu... but without any third party apps.
I wouldn't be too quick to avoid the WM6.5 start menu because it is something you'll have to eventually get used to. I would recommend you get familiar with it and start looking up some of the tweaks to get it to where you want.
I am not finding this manilla start menu. Just the regular windows mobile start menu.
I am using htc sense. When i click the left i get the regular start menu.

If you are using Sense 2.1 (stock WM6.5) then you can use this:

Hey guys,
I was wondering, is there anyone who would be able to look into porting the Manila 2.1 start menu/program tab or both over to Manila 2.5?
I have seem something similar done for the VGA port of Manila 2.5 here (the files are attached at the bottom).
There is also an interesting comment about said tab here
Is there anyone would could maybe try to get this program tab for work for WVGA Manila 2.5?
And also maybe get the start menu working?
Hope someone can do it
Any of the geniuses on here keen to give it a shot? ^^
I had the same problem and was finding it difficult to get easy acess to all my programs without the programs tab, plus i do not like my home screen cluttered. I installed a program called Panoramic Launchpad and it is brilliant. When installed, it launches itself from the topbar start menu and gives you loads of options to configure it how you want it, and since going to the settings tab takes you to the original installed start menu icons, then you have not lost or compromised any of you functionality. grat progam and cheap too

I did see that program yes. It looks nice, but I thought it might be worth a shot to see if anyone here could have a go at getting the Manila 2.1 menu to work on Manila 2.5.
There are a lot of people around with coding/hacking skills to possibly get this to work I feel. I doubt it would be THAT hard to do (sadly, I can't do it, as I can't program at all, more of a hardware person).
Given the program a try. Seems to be ok. But I must admit, the Manila 2.1 start menu/program tab, whatever works, would be a lot better I think.
wm start menu simply sucks, I hate it! i hope somebody can cook the old manila 2.1 start menu.
Hi, on Wm6.5 roms for the touch HD you can press and hold on the start menu items an move them arround but in the HD2 you can only send them to top. Thats is a really ugly to reorder lots of icons.
I think there must be a key in the registry to set this behaviour but cant find it.
Someone knows it?
PD: Someone sugested a program called "JWMD Icon Changer V1.9 beta" to change the order of the start menu items, but i want the easy press and hold way
I will have both HD and HD2 for a few days only so I can compare registry values on both but dont know where exactly to look at.
It's not quite as simple as a single registry key. Whatever build you were running was either a 6.5.x build (start button on the bottom bar) or had some 6.5.x portions built in. That feature only started appearing in the 2303x builds, and is probably a pretty low level change. Meanwhile, the HD2 does not run one of those special builds of 6.5, so I'd say that until cooked ROMs come to the HD2, there's not much you can do besides use that program.
Damn! you're right. my HD got a 23xxx build from Dutty and the HD2 got an extremely old build
Well let's wait for cooked rom then
Thanks
