Remove Start Menu from Task Bar - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

Hi,
I have looked around the forums and haven't found (or cannot find!) a simple solution for an issue I have with my HD2.
I want to restrict the Start Menu on the main Taskbar as I quite often touch it accidently when in other apps. As there is an exclusive Start Menu button on the bottom of the HD2 I don't really see the point of having it on the top bar as well.
Responses much appreciated.

If you're on WWE ROM, the closest match is this,

and maybe this too is what you are looking for.

These links point to icons for the task bar.
I want to know how to remove the top left 'start' button from the task bar completely.
No point keeping it seeing as there is a hard button. Cleans up the task bar.
Any solutions out there?

i want it too.........................

I don't think it is possible to remove the (top left) Start Menu button (WM 6.1/6.5). As far as I'm aware this can only be done on WM 6.5.3+ (23xxx+) where the Start Menu is in the bottom left corner.
This what I have to remove the Start Menu on my 6.5.x (bottom left):
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\BubbleTiles]
"TextModeEnabled"=dword:00000001
"HardwareStartKeyEnabled"=dword:00000001

Thanks for the tip. I checked WM6.5. The 'BubbleTiles' registry folder does not exist.
Thanks anyway.

Removing 'E-mail' label for left soft key & Battery indicator

Hi
Is there anyway to remove the 'E-mail' label for the left softkey?
I tried using the registry hack on:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112
to change it to 'Messaging'. After the change, when I press the left soft key, I see both E-mail AND Messaging (highlighted) and I have to select it to launch Messaging. Can I get rid of E-mail completely so that with one key press I can launch Messaging?
In addition, is there a way to remove the battery indicator on the top task bar? Or maybe even replace it with the volume indicator?
I'd also like to know this.. can anyone help??
Check the wiki for the registry tweaks and hacks.

That only adds another menu item to the left softkey, it doesnt remove the email item. We want to completely get rid of the "Email" menu option
To the best of my understanding, the today screen softkeys are handled by a Palm specific program. As such, the ability to customize the function of the softkeys is quite limited. You may, however, be able to "kill" Palms handling of the softkeys and alter them as per other WM5 devices. (Downside to this is you lose the, IMHO, nice right softkey popup menu.)
Ingenious developers will most certainly find a way around this, but I don't imagine it will be as simple as a registry tweak.
Yep the menu button is a great addition by Palm.

Hide Communications Button

Missing buttons || WM 6.5.1

Hi
I have a two questions...
1 In my previous phones I use WM 6.1 and 6.5 with start button and quick program list and ram usage on top, now I have start button on bottom and I don't know how turn on program list and ram usage (normaly was on top in right corner)
2 Sometimes i use MemMaind, and in previous roms i have 2 options on bottom bar "Tools" and "Settings" now I have "Jump To" and "Tools" (show the same options :/), and i can't set that program (registner etc.)
How repair this function, or without reflashing rom back to old Start place and rest places?

Your version of windows does not play well with the task manager.
You have to hit it in just the right spot or the secondary menu will appear.
I am not able to remove the clock from the taskbar but have managed to make it analog with the enclosed cab. Just install to memory.
I gave up on the task manager and run QuickMenu instead which is a dropdown start menu that has a built in task manager.

remove all soft buttons and time on taskbar

can't seem to remove all buttons on the new energy rom as well as the old usual option to remove the time on the tasbar so i can use the dutty task manager. i was able to remove the start and okay button on the bottom bar but the task and contact button is still there. i wanted a clean screen.
remove those black button behind the two menu buttons on the bottom.

[Q] HD2 Start button on bottom tab

Hi guys,
I was wondering if it is possible to move the start button from the top bar to the bottom tab bar. The background is the following:
I am using ProximityLocker on my HD2, which is a very useful app in my opinion. As the sensor is on the top left corner of the phone, everytime I'm wanting to tap "Start" my finger gets in the way of the sensor and the phone is locked, so I have to tap the start button very carefully in order to be able to open the programs page.
So, I would like to shift the start to the bottom or more to the right of the top bar.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Flash any 6.5.X ROM...they all have the start button at the bottom. If you don't want to flash your phone....you are on your own then
bottom start menu
Or you can use Cookies Home Tab and select Startmenu to be your leftmost softkey
Cheers
