Hey
Noticed around the forum people have got the start menu at the bottom of the screen where contacts and menu appear on the home tab
to be thats better and thats where the start menu is on a computer. . is there a cad or a way to move to start icon to the bottom?? im using a custom taskbar so i think maybe that might cause a problem with such process. . .
finally does anyone know of a collection of custom slider icons to use with HDwall??
thanking you!!!
How far i know.
Startbutton on top left its Windows mobile 6.5
Startbutton on bottom left is windows mobile 6.5.x
for changing from top to bottom you muster flash a new ROM at your device.
the start icon on the bottom is a rom thing. stock (wm6.5) is upper left. custom (wm6.5.x) is bottom left. don't know of a way to move it without changing your rom (to have it be functional at least.)
cheers.
To get the start menu at the bottom, you need to install a custom ROM which is based on Windows Mobile 6.5.x.
The stock ROMs are still using the "older" version.
You can differ them through the build number: 21xxx is "older", 23xxx/28xxx are the newer builds.
You can use any slider icons together with HDWall as they won´t be shown in a better resolution anyway.
Ok.......You are running the older 6.5 which has the icon at the top. You would need to load a custom ROM that is running 6.5.X ( x being either 3 or 5) which would be the newer Windows version. It is not as stable as the older version because it has been pieced together for the most part. But it being newer it has more functionality then the older version. NO you can not use a cab to load it.
As for you sliders HDWall is a program to make your own sliders and backgrounds. If you are looking for sliders that have already been made that can just be installed. Search there are plenty of ongoing threads.
I wonder, how many more people will be explaining the issue

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
The only thing I hate about my new Tilt 2 is that horrible black WM taskbar. I want some type of more colorful, 3d task bar as well as come better icons. I've researched for the past 3 nights and all i've gotten is a headache. The tsowens taskbars and stuff only change icons. That's my secondary priority...Plus, i want to change some of his icons to a few of the extras he provided. He mentions that there are instructions to do so in another post but i could never find them. Could someone please guide me or show me a better solution? I really don't want to mess up my new Tilt 2...
The icons are all usauly in the windows folder. So get new icons, get the correct file names, download total commander and replace them with that.
About the colour change try UITweaker there is loads of settings for changing colours in there.
Win Mob 6.5
Yes you are right on the part of Windows Mobile 7. It would surely be "game changing". The new WM 7 is designed to be used on devices with touchscreen only with QWERTY keyboards.Even surfing is made easier with "tabbed" browsing, except you can switch tabs by shaking the phone.
Win Mob 6.5
Well, the start menu cannot be customized from the Honeycomb Menu. But let me add a point here, the honeycomb menu of winmo 6.5 is globally recognized as user-friendly menu because it makes the icons more distinguishable.
It would be handy to be able to change the icon location and look, without hacking into the registry.
I've got Dutty's task manager installed and the drop down list (top right corner) for the task manager clashes with a clock on the top bar.
Is there a suitable app/tweak I can do to shuffle the top bar icons over to the left a bit so that the two things aren't on top of each other?
I'm running Miri's v7 rom if that makes a difference.
I think I used to be able to do this on my Touch HD with HD Tweaks or Advanced Config or something but not sure about an equivalent for the HD2 which would include this functionality.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance
sounds like you are uising a 6.5.x rom it doesnt happen on the 6.5 roms
Yes, as I said, it's Miri's v7 rom (6.5.5 I think).
Also, there is nothing at all showing on the sounds & notifications tab in sense, but I realise that is a question better asked on the ROM support thread, not here.
If someone knows an app I can use to move the icons a bit it would be a help though, thanks.
Hi. I'm using Vico's 6.5.5 Rom but I really miss the taskbar options that Wisbar advance used to give me (like showing what apps were running). I've tried the Beta 5 version of WB but it doesn't work with WM 6.5.5.
Does anyone know of a similar taskbar replacement that will work with this ROM, or a way to disable that annoying drop down finger menu in WM 6.5.5 that pops down every time you click the taskbar?
Phil.
I use quickmenu for that. A menu that displays your running programs and gives a option to close them individual or all at once.
QuickMenu V2.8.410.1610.CAB from this topic
You can place the Q button in the middle of the screen.
Woks very well on this 6.5.5 rom.
Oh, and disable the battery icon or you will be having two of them.
Do you want a program that shows running programs in the top bar? (the one were the clock is)?

Yeah, and also a way to modilfy the top bar and its po-out/drop-down curtain finger friendly thing (which I'd rather do without to be honest)

I'm giving this a try at the moment, thanks to your suggestion. It does give me some of the funtionality I'm looking for but it's not as nice as WA IMO.
Hello!
I'm a HD2 user (Manila 2.5.2018, ROM 3.14.412.2). I've tried some cooked roms and I didn't find one that feels the way I like, that is pretty close to stock roms. The other problem is that I've experienced a lot of problems with cooked roms. I don't know if is because of my carrier or what, but with any cooked rom I have to reboot at least 3 times a day. So finally I decided to upgrade my HTC to a stock rom.
But testing here and there, I've found something in cooked roms that is terrific!
Start menu is in the bottom and the two buttons (in my phone are "Phone" and "Menu") where buttons and not just text. I've attached two images: One of my homescreen as it is and the other with the wished structure.
Is there an application that does this?
Thanks in advance!
PS. Forgive my english, please!!
StartMenu in the bottom means your SYS is WM6.5.X. Top ones are just WM6.5.
Phone button is part of Sense. They can be changed by the following reg keys. Menu, you cant do anything with it. It is hard-coded in Sense.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila]
"HomeLSKPath"="windows\\cprog.exe"
"HomeLSKText"="Phone"
if you enjoy the stock feel, you should try Dutty's ROM or Artemis. they come with the big buttons in the bottom

I'll try this. Thanks a lot!!!
Your stock ROM is indeed Windows Mobile 6.5 with start menu at top left in taskbar. Cooked ROMs are mostly Windows Mobile 6.5.3 or 6.5.5 which now have the Start Menu button bottom left in the Softkey bar, so you can't achieve exactly what you are looking for just with registry edits (although you can reassign the two big softkeys to pretty much anything. If you want the Start Menu access in the middle of the bottom bar as you show then I'd recommend installing Cookies Home Tab 2.0 and enabling CHT Softkeys as this allows you to achieve exactly what you're after. You can have up to five custom softkeys doing pretty much anything you want, plus you can really easily skin them to get exactly the look you want. CHT 2.0 will install and work fine on a stock ROM, plus it gives you as much (or as little) customisation as you want in your home screen(s).
