Modifcation of Start Menu and Contacts Soft Keys - General Questions and Answers

So I have to say, I really don't like where the start menu button is on this. I really would like to replace that area with two soft keys, "Phone" and "Camera" since both of those hard keys on my phone are very temperamental.
So really, what I would like to do is remove the Start Menu, Contacts, and Set all together, and just have the slight overlay and the words "Phone" and "Camera".
Is there a way to do this without changing ROMS? I would rather not. Advise would be appreciated.

To better paint the picture, I would like to have this set up instead:
Is this because of modification you guys did, or modifications that were done to the ROM I'm using?

Above is a screencap from the manual, but I am only able to perform video calling thru option number 1, options number 2, 3 and 4 are not available, does anyone else have the same issue?
All four options work here (I'm still using the original ROM though)

thks.. I'm on original ROM as well.. but could be some program I've installed.. SPB Mobile Shell or SPB Phone Suite?! hmmm..
Hello,
I had a problem with the first option you specify, i did not have the icon of making video call.
I installed several software, for my opinion what have disabled me the option is the dialer i installed (don't remember which) but it was the dialer.
Nothing helped & uninstall wont fix it.
HARD SPL helped....
Hope it helps...

thks guys.. think I might have found the problem.. it was because I changed the default font from Tahoma to Segoe UI, therefore because of the font size difference, part of the context menu was hidden from view.
How did I found out? The hard way.. I performed a hard reset n install all my apps back, but the options were all there, the only thing I did not do.. was to change my font..

How to modify Bottom Bar Key?

Hi all,
I just want to change my bottom bar to which look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If the Start Menu button and Close button are re-positioned into the Bottom Bar, they could be easily pressed as our fingers can reach(I still wonder why Microsoft has such a stupid idea to bring those 2 button on the topmost)
Anyone have an Ideal of how to do it, please help me.
Thank u.
Anyone could help me?
Thanks in advance.
there's an app that moves your taskbar to the bottom.. i forgot its name. if i manage to recall it i'll tell you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=428317
Really thank u.
I already tried it, and disappointed. It's has a lot of bug. The result is: I have to bring Taskbar back to it's nature position.
I'm trying active corner on FtouchSL, which can emulate two bottom corner as taskbar button with Press a' Hold. It's not what I really want, but satisfied by now.
Thank u for your answers.
ftouchsl + wm5NewMenu, works for me, I also have remapped the left soft key to open the start menu. but as I have wm5NM I don't use the start menu much.
Yeah, I use WM5 New Menu too. But it only works on Today Screen, helping me for opening new doc quickly. I like to make a interface that can be fully touch controlled ( 'cause some hard keys of my Prophet is going to break )
I don't understand, wm5NewMenu works anywhere not just the today screen.

[Q] Low light controller for HP Voice messenger

Hi, guys
I made a program for you which alowed you to turn the backlight to half light.
The back light will be lower than brightness "1"
You will need it when you reading in dark night.
maybe can also save your power.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The program only tested on hp ipaq voice messenger
maybe can also work on other model voice messenger (ipaq 512 514 518)
Thanks a lot for the back light program.
By the way, if anybody has post to you the original rom (1.0.12.332.04) with the bootloader, let us know.
thanks, I will test you, my eyes often burn because of the lightning display.
One question, do you know a way to use the flash led as a light (torch) in the night? It would be great to use with the hardware button.
Unfortunately I do not find a way to:
1- use the lock button to suddenly lock the VM instead of keeping it pressed so long
2- assign lock and hardware button to other functions, for example call the tasks manager
any hint?
seems to work well, but I have a small problem, I copied it in the program files directory, made a shortcut and put in the windows\start menu\application\accessory but I can't see it in the menu, how do you suggest to install the application?
you have to put it in
windows\program files\
and put the shortcut in
windows\start menu\

Task bar mods??

Hi, Ive only had my HD2 for a few days now and I am loving it! Had a TG01 and this is far better.
I was just wondering if there are any mods for the icons on the top task bar, I had a Diamond and was able to use a .cab from the Diamond section to change the icons to something better looking than the stock icons. Is there anything available yet or is it a case of waiting for the devs to sort something out??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=580568
I used the no-start one in that thread and it worked fine on my HD2, as shown below. Despite being for the HD.

thanks for the reply!

I was only talking about the top part, the rest of the look is separate. I just couldn't be bothered cutting the taskbar out.
Install the cab and the rest of your screen won't be touched.
lol, just realised after I put the post up! I installed both cabs and its all good!!
just one more question, how do I get the bars to look textured?
thanks again!!!
You need to install MaxTTM. Run it, go to the WM6.5 tab, in Component select 'Taskbar', in Change Method select 'Special Pattern' and in Special Pattern Bar Selection select 'millski_blackgloss_bar.png'. Leave Alpha as 255. Tick 'Soft Reset After Convert' and press the Convert button. It should then reset and come up with the texture you see above on the taskbar.
Any chance you could provide a link to this MaxTTM?
Cheers!

Vibrant Home Dock "ported"

Well, not ported as they already mostly worked, just fixed a couple of hiccups. Nothing very clever going on here, but may be of interest to some folks.
As per request in another thread, I've fixed the Desktop Home app for the Samsung Vibrant so that the one thing that doesn't seem to work properly, the "Alarm" button, is now ok.
You can grab the APK from:
http://db.tt/bFXrBWr
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I've also partially fixed the Vibrant Car Home app so that the icons are centered and the "Contacts" link works. The "Search" button doesn't seem to do anything and it seems to be hit & miss as to if you get a "Browser" icon or a "Voice Search" icon as pictured below. It may be a compatibility issue with the JME firmware I'm running, I'll have a play later. Anyway, you can grab the .APK from:
http://db.tt/qN07wwk
The app is incredibly no-frills, there's no other settings or options whatsoever other than what appears on the screen. I'd suggest using the Car Home v3 app from the market instead, although this one does look pretty.
The apps don't lock the screen on either so are probably not terribly useful without an actual dock.
If I can decipher the decompiled smali code some more, I'll replace the "Search" icon with a "Music" one. Changing the app an icon runs is easy, implementing it when it's not already doing something is less so.
