Could some one please tell me how to get the wm6.5 start menu to scroll until i stop it with my finger.
At the moment it scrolls sort of one page at a time making scrolling through all the start menu items not as smooth as it should be.
This really annoys me too, is there any way to change this?
This is one of many things i LIKE in Wm6.5
I would like this to implemented in more programs like Opera, Resco file explorer and so on.

Me too!I'd like to have a better scroll in start menu!Just reaching the bottom you get a little bit tired!
Can anyone out there confirm whether or not this is possible?
It's been possible on custom ROMs I had on the HD, but I can't change it on the HD2.
That's strange. Maybe it's not possible in the 21xxx build ROMs, only in the 230xx ones.
Yup annoys me too, when something I want is at the bottom of the list................. and for any one who is going to say press/hold and move to the top, thre are some things I want at the bottom! Would just like to get there quicker lol
i use a 5-row mod on my hd2... perfect... (was too small on my x1). Get it Here.
if i remember it correctly, you have to change it as fallowing to enable full scrolling (not tried since i dont need it with 5 rows):
StartMenuCust_480x800.cpr ->
you need to change PaginatedScrolling="TRUE" to PaginatedScrolling="FALSE" or PaginatedScrolling="WRONG"

and how should we use that file ?
This property must me added to GridView tag, but it didn't work on my handset. I've just tried it.
so wm 6.5 cant perform this action
Bumping this as I go crazy not being able to find a fix. Some say you have to change the PhysicsEngine.dll and some say it can be disabled in Registry but no one is putting up anything. I found some dll's but it just behaved strangly. This can't be hard and some of the chefs here must know the solution, please share with us. I do not want to go with a custom rom just to get this tweak. Please somebody help.
i like the 3 rows but would love the better scrolling
also where is the cab to let us hold to move icons? im on the stock hd2 us rom and cant find this cab :/ all i can do now is just hold to move to top and that blows

You just have to add this line in your cpr. See Bold
I tried this but it just does not do what I want. Btw I figured out how to edit cpr files ( rename to xml file use notepad to edit and rename back to cpr ).
I tried to use PaginatedScrolling="FALSE" , PaginatedScrolling="WRONG" but nothing. Still lets you scroll only one page at the time. I am going nuts, have to solve this can't be that difficult. Any other ideas?

"Settings", on the WM6 cooked ROMs....
In particular some have the "Windows Update" icon (which will screw you hard if it works at all - hard reset time!) and others have the "Feedback" icon which does nothing.
They're not easily visible in the kitchens as LNKs or EXEs - does anyone know how to "depopulate" things from the settings that you don't want in there?
update
Im hitting this at the moment.
Most of them arre easy to change. .
HKLM>ControlPanel>Bluetooth> dword:"Group" = 6 (Or any number other than, 0,1,2) will remove it.
However like you've found, some of them aren't controllable like this. I'm trying to get the Update one as well. Just need to figure out where its stored.
for reference
For reference,
If you wanted to remove the "Buttons" app from the personall tab, your provisioning code would be.
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="Registry">
<characteristic type="HKLM\ControlPanel\Buttons">
<parm name="Group" value="6" datatype="integer" />
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
This moves it to the tab "6" which doesnt exist, so it doesnt display it.
Through another post about changing the default web browser I discovered some other neat tricks that be done to the Web Tab.
One can edit \application data\manila\InternetPortal-en-US.xml. I recommend dragging to your desktop and using Microsoft XML Editor 2007. Save it and then drag it back. Backup original first.
The file looks like this:
<InternetPortal>
<BrowserExe>"\Storage Card\Program Files\Opera\OperaLaunch.exe" </BrowserExe>
<IncludeUserFavorites>False</IncludeUserFavorites>
<Banner DefaultImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\banner.qtc" SelectedImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\banner_selected.qtc" Text="WorldWideWeb" Width="480" Height="215"/>
<OperatorLinks>
<Link Text="Weather" Executable="\Storage Card\Program Files\SPB Weather\SpbWeather.exe" ImagePath="\windows\Spb_Weather.bmp"/>
</OperatorLinks>
</InternetPortal>
By changing BrowserExe you can change the default browser. I am using Opera 8.65.
<BrowserExe>"\Storage Card\Program Files\Opera\OperaLaunch.exe" </BrowserExe>
So I now get Opera 8.65 rather than 9.5 when I click the Globe.
By changing Text in Banner, I changed the caption below the globe to WorldWideWeb:
<Banner DefaultImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\banner.qtc" SelectedImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\banner_selected.qtc" Text="WorldWideWeb" Width="480" Height="215"/>
By changing IncludeUserFavorites from True to False you can turn off the Favorites listed below the browser. I didn’t even know they were there:
<IncludeUserFavorites>False</IncludeUserFavorites>
By changing OperatorLinks, mine was blank, you can add links to programs. I initially used LiveSearch but changed it to SPB Weather:
<OperatorLinks>
<Link Text="Weather" Executable="\Storage Card\Program Files\SPB Weather\SpbWeather.exe" ImagePath="\windows\Spb_Weather.bmp"/>
</OperatorLinks>
You can add multiple links if you want to scroll. Text=Whatever you want, Executable=Full path to you program, and ImagePath=Path to 32x32 BMP you want for an icon.
I thought it was pretty cool.
Hi guys!
Im looking for a working version of Rinko Iconbar for VOX running WM 6.1?
I found one version, but after installing the cab and rebooting, icons looks the same.....
Anyone?
Here is a CAB that is working for sure: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502517
But in order to see the new icons, you have to change the home screen file (*.home.xml)
Change:
Code:
<plugin clsid="{837FC251-FE69-43ad-84E0-EBCEDEBA0884}" name="iconbar" height="27">
<iconbar bgcolor="transparent" fgcolor="COLOR_HOMETEXT"/>
</plugin>
to:
Code:
<plugin clsid="{B06A8DAB-E148-40d5-BE8F-3C494ABF3046}" name="iconbar" height="27" orientation="p">
</plugin>
And then reload the theme!

Hello!
I've asked this question under the rom I'm using, but I think this question does not necessarily belong there.
So, I ask it again here.
One of the changes in WM6.5 is the size of popup menus. How can we change it's size so it's more like in WM6
I'm sure I've seen menus with normal spacing between the options in WM6.5, but I can't remember what I did or if it was made in rom like that.
For example in messaging menu in WM6 it fits into screen, in WM6.5 we have to scroll it to see all the options. Changing popup menu font size (via advanced config) does not make spacing smaller, so in order to fit whole menu in inbox I have set font size to 500 which is waaaay too small.
Thanks.
The idea of 6.5 is to make everything more finger friendly. So to make it smaller would make it harder to press. My guess is that your going to want to see how you can change the system or context menu font. I don't know how that can be done, but my friend google can help.
I understand the reason it was done, but still such significant changes should not be done with possibility revert it the old style.
The font used there is Verdana, and I doubt it has so much extra spacing above and below (see screenshots above).
I refuse to believe that this question never discussed here and has no answer
Got a cab for that larger finger menu?

Use Advanced Config and change the Popup menu font size under User Interface.
I change mine from Large to Custom 800. See Picture below.

do you know how to make the menu scroll by page instead of item by item?
install and open total commander. go to \\\Plugins\registry\HKLM\System\GWE\Menu\Popfnt and there should be two dword values that you can change to whatever you like. "Ht" (height) which is default to 1000 and "Wt" (weight, boldyness) which is default to 700. fiddle with these all you like and see which best suits you. you have to soft restart after every change to see it. dont be shy with these, you can change them in 100 intervals and fine tune from there. i actually wanted mine a little bigger and thumb friendlier so i set ht to 1100 and wt to 800 and it was perfect for me.
Thanks a lot, it helped me perfectly!
The problem is the spacing.
The menu spacing is set in the .tsk files. There is a large reg entry you need to tweak: hkcu/software/microsoft/today/menu. I've got menus that work for people with non-ape sized fingers, and I like it, lol. Check my thread UI Tweaks for 6.5.1 in the fuze rom forum at fuzemobility for the reg entries in the last post <on fuze now, can't link>. This is much better than lowering the popfnt. There's also a fix for the ridiculous tree-spacing that makes Regedit nearly unusable.
I've uploaded the reg settings. Remove the string values for different themes. I've also uploaded a custom arad theme w/ the reg settings and my wallpaper <sorry, lol>. Change the extension to .tsk and put it in \windows (soft reset, too).

Glad to help, lol.
I was tempted to start a new thread for this, but rather than do that, I figured I would just add to this one.
As previously mentioned in this thread, the menu popup size and spacing is a little excessive with the newer builds of 6.5.x (I'm currently using 6.5.3 ported from the SDK). By comparing the tsk files from 6.5 and 6.5.3 I have found there are 5 registry changes responsible for this non-sense.
Code:
Windows Mobile 6.5.3
<characteristic type="HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Menu">
<parm name="MenuSelectorThemeImageTopPadding" value="18" datatype="integer" />
<parm name="MenuSelectorThemeImageBottomPadding" value="18" datatype="integer" />
<characteristic type="HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\ListView">
<parm name="ListViewSelectorThemeImageTopPadding" value="18" datatype="integer" />
<parm name="ListViewSelectorThemeImageBottomPadding" value="18" datatype="integer" />
<parm name="ListViewSelectorThemeImageRightPadding" value="17" datatype="integer" />
Windows Mobile 6.5
<characteristic type="HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Menu">
<parm name="MenuSelectorThemeImageTopPadding" value="10" datatype="integer" />
<parm name="MenuSelectorThemeImageBottomPadding" value="10" datatype="integer" />
<characteristic type="HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\ListView">
<parm name="ListViewSelectorThemeImageTopPadding" value="10" datatype="integer" />
<parm name="ListViewSelectorThemeImageBottomPadding" value="10" datatype="integer" />
<parm name="ListViewSelectorThemeImageRightPadding" value="6" datatype="integer" />
You can change them manually by editing the registry or you can use the updated tsk files attached to this post.
Furthermore you may want to update these other registry entries....
This entry controls the font size of the popup menu (mentioned early in this thread). The default value for Windows Mobile 6.1 is
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu\PopFnt]
"Ht"=dword:320
Microsoft started using 3E8 instead of 320 a while ago, but I prefer the WM 6.1 default value of 320. For cooks, this is found in \SYS\Base_Lang_0409\831xxx.rgu. You may also find attempts to change this value in \OEM\OEMDrivers\.
Finally, as already mentioned, the Treeview settings were increased in WM 6.5.3. These values are complete new entries that did not exist in WM 6.5. They can safely be deleted or set to 0.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Commctrl]
"TreeviewPlusMinus"=dword:1c
"TreeviewExtraItemSpace"=dword:14
TreeviewPlusMinus controls the size of the plus/minus symbol and TreeviewExtraItemSpace adds space between tree entries. Deleting or setting both entries to zero sets things back to the way they were in WM 6.1 & 6.5.
To use the attached tsk files, rename them from *.cab to *.tsk and copy to \Windows
Yes! I'v been looking for this.
Thanks.

i think it appears only the day before your appointment. no special settings for it. that's how it works by default.
Is there anyways to remove the banner with the time and date on it as well? So all i get is the sliding lock on the bottom?
Thank you very much for the great work. Is it possible for you to modify the cpr so that the clock/date pad is moved up a bit higher to get in touch with the Top Bar
