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

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. ;/

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.
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:

what do you mean "the way the start button is"? where it's located or how it looks?
be specific
he probally wants the same thing as i do. the old style windows mobile 5/6/6.1 start menu in 6.5
btw if anybody know how to do this let me know plz.
QuickMenu is similar to the old WM Start Menu, but much better. I used it in 6.0, 6.1, and still in 6.5.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340352
i have tried quickmenu but it is not what i want. i just want the old style menu.
I need this too... someone please...
hey guys thank you for all for replay
anyway yea i want the old one like the other guys said lol
this new one in 6.5.1 make feel like im using Nokia phone not windows mobile hehehe
and nah the quick menu still not like the old one
so please if any one know pleaseeeeeeeeeee let me know
thanks in advanced
It is not possible. Use a 6.5 ROM and not a 6.5.1 one.
yeah, sorry, it's not possible. just use a 6.1 ROM or learn to live with the honeycomb interface
or use quickmenu
But Cotulla somehow added old style Start menu to his 6.5 ROM for XDA Flame.
What's worse is the Honeycomb lay out makes you think miliseconds longer before picking the app.
But maybe you get used to this illogical lay that isn't used in other interfaces.
I don't know who is Microsoft's in house Psycologist, but they need to start looking for a new one.
Just because you don't want people saying that it looks to much like the iPhone doesn't make it a good idea.
We where not taught to read that way, it is illogical and a bad idea.
You got till Windows Mobile 7.0 to fix this bed=fore i take you serious, Microsoft.
As for the actual issue/question at hand.
Try looking for folderview.exe , that might still work on 6.5 and gives you the three column old fashioned look.
You could even link to it using Quickmenu.

Depends on what you are running on your phone.
Your question is very vague. If you have the shortcut boxes there you just click the empty box and it pulls up a list.
no i dont have shortcut boxes there!! i have wm6.5 with touchflo3d

Like I said, your question was too vague.
I am running WM 6.5 w/TF3D and have 20 shortcuts there.
I suggest you search for maxcy's Manila themes and get familiar with the different options available so you know what you are asking for.
Shortcut on Home screen depend on the build# of your Manila.
Read lots, the possibilities are endless.

Yes you have touchflo3d but in the 2.1 version of manila.
If you want to have shortcuts in the home page you must change to a rom with manila 2.5
how can i see manila's version?
Go to Settings tab\About Phone\Software Info.
You are likely going to want to flash a custom ROM, assuming you're on the stock one still (If you gave as much info up front as possible before asking, there would be no need to assume).
You really need to start reading about flashing a new ROM.
There are no shortcuts so please read thoroughly.
20 shortcuts in manila 2.1
B&L Group Mod Manila 2.1 as 2.5 with 20 shortcuts
Before install cab, you must install MortScript
It's promising but it's in russian. Any chance to see this app in english?
bugs but its awesome no need for upgrading to 2.5
bugs
well yes first its in russian , second in land scape mode its all gibberish .. the screen become out of place the icons are over each other. also when u change the clock the weather animation covers the analog clock a lil from bottom. also the left key name is wrong and when u pull up the shortcuts they mix with small clock overlapping text. ive used td2 tool 2c for landscape mod.
Developers where are u!!!
isnt there anybody who could modify these cabs n perfect them for manila 2.1 topaz wm6.5 ????
It could be the solution for sence 2.1 users... when it runs ok!
Let's see what will happen here.
on wm 6.1 without TF3D how can i put shortcut on today screen?
I guess you better use SPB Mobile Shell, with or without MrSkip widgets.

Nice but needs to be improved
Programm looks nice although I would rather have 9 icons (3x3).
It is in Russian language, to bad at least English isn't standard.
Hope it will be in English and with less icons soon!
For all who wan't to test, it is uninstallable!
Update to latest original HTC ROM 2.53.404.3 - WM 6.5 with Manila 2.5
Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=601057&page=13

Hi everibody, so sorry to post a question where it's not allowed but the Q&A section for windows mobile doesn't exist anymore, so I didn't know where to post it.
I am an HD2 owner and for me it's simply perfect with windows mobile, the only thing is that in WM 6.5 and in sense 2.5 there are no smooth and fluid transitions. Don't know if I explained well what I mean. For example in Iphone, android or in any other new OS when I swipe left or right on the screen, the elements move gradually out of the screen and the new one enter gently. In Manila 2.5 no, there is a gap unless you use the manila . Is there a way to make this happen? The same thing when I press the start menu or when I turn the phone in landscape mode, or when I unlock it. I think that the lack of animated transitions make the OS look much older than it is.
Please, I'm asking a last effort to make this system awersome...
as you are using manila 2.5 the nearest to your request is Co0kie Home Tab 2.0. Then you can get in your home tab 7 screens to slide left & right, and 4 levels to slide up & down, and even put some widgets on it.
Other option is MaxSense, but never tried myself. I think you would need to flash a rom with Maxsense as is not provided as .cab
If you wish to try Co0kie 2.0 and need further help post question in the CHT thread.
Thank you for the reply =)
yeah, I'm actually using the HD2O rom with CHT and I noticed that there is the possibility to use widget in the home screen, but I was thinking of something more integrated in the system...for example I found WinStart (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=935808): this is an app that replaces start menu and adds the kind of animations for windows I was looking for. Unfortunately I found this program a little too buggy (some icons disappear and many icon names are changed) and very slow I hope it could be possible to continue in this direction, because I think that the idea is good, but in my opinion it isn't developed properly (those animations could be integrated in a cooked rom probably) and have a similar program for Manila too. It would be simply wonderful.
Of course those are only my suggestions, but I know that nobody would develop any further for windows mobile something like this because this OS is considered dead, but I still love it more than any newer one.
I'm using an energy ROM with CHT & find it very fluid for all functions really & far more flexible than iphone & a lot better looking than Android & many functions less clicks to access.
For the hardware spec of the phone & slow official development WM was & actually still is very very good, if you look at layout of Android & compare it to WM6.5.3 you will see a lot of copying by cheeky Google ...
I need viber software for hd2 plz help me
I need viber software for hd2 plz
Windows Mobile does have animated transitions, but they're generally disabled, as they're slow and ugly.
You can still get them back using the registry (I can find that for you), but you'll probably regret it.
BTW, as my much esteemed colleagues said already, HTC Sense and Co0kie's Home tabs extension prvide pretty nice animations and sliding screens already.
