That's all. Thank for answer.

I think you have to search the relating "manila" file in the Windows folder and edit some xml.
3 cols would be interesting for me, too
bump....
i too would like to know how to do this.
tutorials and how-to's are extremely difficult to find for this device and manila in general
experienced searcher and leecher
search failed
Ätz...
I checked many *.xml files in Windows folder. Many of them are for the Menu-Dialogues (add/remove Item... foo...) But I cannot find any xml that relates to the structure of the internet tab.
In registry, there is only the possibility to change the amount of the tabs.
Must look like the xml file of the grid-scene of the WM startmenu...
You can try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6588359&postcount=4591, but scrolling don't work properly.
A Solution...
Manila files are from amarullz's post here. I simply cab'ed them. Works perfectly on my device and I still have 12 total tabs (not 9 as noted in the above post.)
To Install:
--> Download and install "Manila_Internet_3_Columns.cab"
To Uninstall:
--> Uninstall the above
--> If that doesn't work, install the "Manila_Internet_2_Columns.cab"
Cheers.
----------------------------------------------
What registry edit did you use to increase/decrease the number of internet tabs?
THX, scrolling is al little bit funky, but worx fine for me!!
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Internet.CountOfPush 10, 12, 14
but I dunno if it worx for the 3colz?!? (e.g. value: 9, 12, 15...)
I would like to know/lern HOW to edit such manila files. Will try to create some own mods (and release of coz ).

yeah, now that i play with the tabs, scrolling is a tad weird - on occasion, though! it seems to get it moving i have to flick the top part (where it says "launch browser") first and then all is good.
some quick reads on editing manila text files (looks like you can open them with a text writer). haven't read them thoroughly, though:

can you share what you find? what you edit?
cheers.
Thx 4 the links. I will study them
And when creating sth, I'll share of coz.

the registry mods work.
default is 10, which gives total of 12 tabs (4 lines of 3).
changed it to 12, and gave me 15 tabs (5 lines of 3).
odd numbers default to the even number below it.
seems endless.
Is there any fix for the funky scrolling issue?

not that i have found. switched up to energy's rom and it seems better...have gotten used to it though.
Because of the scrolling issue, I never scroll, but I would like to know how to remove the globe!
Then we could use 9 instead of 6 tabs
Any info is welcome!

i liked your idea so i tried it. removing the globe is easy, though nothing changes. would need to remove the entire top section. that is beyond me...maybe in some mode9/ lua or other file i know not how to edit!
if you still want the blank icon look for some reason i have attached the cab i made.
cheers.

Thanks jsmccabe78 !
But yes, I indeed meant to remove the whole "Launch browser"+globe, and place the first 3 tabs there.
Any input is welcome!

does anyone know how or if you can add more programs, edit sizes, spaces etc. ?
Hi,
Not sure about size and spacing etc, but if you open up a registry editor and go here:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ParogramLauncher
You will find keys 0-17. You can add key 18, copy the strings from an unused key, do a soft reset, and hey presto you will have another tile to add a program to.
Rowan
Hmm. should have tested properly before posting. The above does indeed add more tiles, and when you allocate programs to them the registry strings get updated accordingly. However, the tiles never become available for use.
I'll have a look later to see if there's anything else to change.

erm, me thinks you misunderstand.
That is for having more columns of icons in the programs menu within start.
What they want here is to be able to add more programs to the programs tab of TF3D.
Interesting idea, and definitely one i'm waiting anxiously to get an answer to. Not a major issue for me by any means, but would be handy!!

So no way to do this yet (hopefully) ??? I could really use more programs and more displayed across in TF3d myself.

Thank you
Actually I wanted to thank you Rabangus, because your answer really helped me.
I dont know how it happened, but I had an empty program icon in the 7th row in my Programs TAB (to which I couldnt assign any program) and I had no idea how to get rid of it. Thanks to your answer i erased the #18 in the registry and after soft reset - yes - it was gone - Yuppee
Thank you soooo much. It was really driving me crazy.
Looking for some help finding a program,cab,plugin for IE to make the text larger. ROMed to ROMeOS2_ENG_21042_1954. Cant find setting in phone to make text larger. Any help will be great, Thanks

pie = pocket internet explorer
I did try the setting but was unable to make the text/page larger. There must be some sort of plugin,cab or program to inlarge the text like on the original IE that the Raphael comes with. I like using IE over opera, it works much better for me while at work.
if its a custom rom, it may be the uncompleted ie 6 on 6 upgrade that was added to PIE which adds minor enhancements but makes the fonts very small. The only way to fix this is to remove it, which you will have to recook the rom!
You need to tweak your registry. Check this post. I normally do both tweaks (convert from PIE6 to PIE5 and allow font changes; PIE6 blows).

Thanks to help.
No one as a solution to have 5 columns start menu please?
i have found one thats work to make 4 columns but very strange,my battery icon as changed now,i have reinstalled the taskbar and impossible to get back my battery icon???
send me the startMenu_gridscene_480x800.cpr and startMenu_gridscene_800x480.cpr file for it and if i get some time ill try to get something that works
This was something that i was going to release when i got one!
That, all the way up to 7 i think and landscape one, does the start menu auto rotate, if it does then the landscape one's would make sense if not then ill see!
I already made a load for QVGA so i thought i would do it again, much easier with an actual device i will have one as soon as o2 actually get on realised!

Cab
Is is exist any cab file for toggle 3-4-5 columns?
Not that i know of i couldnt get it working, when i have one which will be soon i will work on it. Found it was near impossible to do it without a device to actually tinker with!
It will come!
I've had a play with the files and I can't seem to get it working myself. Wonder what I'm missing.
Download the attached cab file I made from the files posted by DJC above. They will give you a 4 column start menu in portrait and 6 column start menu in landscape.

Legend, I'll try that now!
Update: Just installed and confirmed working!
Thank you!
For me works excellent !!!
Working fine for me too, thanks.
Works here too except... is landscape supposed to kick-in automatically on the start menu? On my Leo it doesn't. Any Ideas?
I've seen 5 and even 6 columns on other devices. Any cab for Leo yet?
Thanks 2 all!
Before I install this is there an easy way to revert back?
Cheers!
Works for me too in portrait on my Leo.
Works perfect, thank you!
It sounds very cool, but does photo's of contacts still working?
I read that's a problem at the other cab files!?
Can you show some picture of the result please?
It does not affect your picture contacts. You are thinking of the 4-wide quick links mods. They change the buttons beneath the clock.
This mod is for changing the start menu (hexagon grid). I have a similar one here, which includes screenshots.
I want to make the toolbar in the image below to transparent. How? pls help!
thanks
thanks All, I have solution for this problem.

How to do that?
there'e all files I used:
more additional and simpler method
used only 2 files:
Nice and thanks
I tried the two files and they worked well here (Pure running Tess 4.1)
I had a few personel changes I would prefer
White(er) clock digits would be more visable on my dark background
And I sometime have a hard time finding the current icon (to slide it )
with the transparent slider, I mainly changed it to get the 5 icons
Either of these "user" adjustable?
(wasn't there a select from multiple clock faces setting somewhere?)
I also noticed (its what really 1st got my attention!)
you have 5 launcher icons
I really like that feature! or even 4 wide how many total icons (rows?)
and how did you do that?
Thanks

+1 (it's true 9 shortcuts it's not enought)
Sorry as a follow up I decide to remove the clock and slider
unfortunately I was unable to remove the clock completely
(remove programs failed) Fortunately I had backed up first and
was abel to get back the original white flip clock with a cold reset and restore
I might have had more luck if I turned off TF3D before attempting removal?
but just as a heads up the cams I had the problems with were
No_BG.cam and No_slider1920.cab
I've also noted that it Doesn't look like the task bars with the two file solution
are actually transparent? they look solid black?
The pic thats with the three files TF3D 2.5 top and bottom curtain files
and clock 26 trans. looks more like what I'm looking for, bit I don't understand how you replace the single manila files with the 3 masks (they all have the same name. even though in different subdirs) but can't help but wonder if these will work with the set of "colored task bar icons" I'm using? (aren't the masks
specific to the icons artwork?
I know I've asked "a lot" and from two different authors, but I'd be willing to
bet its an interesting topic that at least a few people would like to know more about.
Thanks

I'd like to have the bottom slider (the one for selecting tabs) semitransparent.. Actually it is in today screen, ma I'd like to have it semitransparent also on all tabs.
Back to the launcher icons. Anyone has an idea how to get 4 and more there?
Hi,
I can't do this task!
After turning off the HTC Sense, I tried to copy and paste files, but the unit had the following message:
Can not copy 'Access Denied'
Make sure that the memory is enough free storage, the destination is not write protected and file is not being used
I am performing a wrong way?
Thanks

Update 27/11/2009:
I have now made a multi-device version here. It adds landscape support and the text is slightly larger to accommodate devices with smaller screens which I think looks better on the hd2 too.
Old version:
Hi All,
I wasnt very impressed with other 4-wide and 5-wide options, so I just modified the .cpr from my hd2 myself.
This doesnt touch the registry, so wont be much use for non-stock ROMs and other devices unless you edit it yourself:
HKLM\Security\Shell\StartMenu\CustomGridForm = "StartMenuCust"
You will need to soft reset after installing.
Enjoy!
Could you please post some screenshots?
No problem, screenshots added to post 1.
My CustomGridForm is already =StartMenuCust. Should your cabs work on my case (original rom)?
Other question: Did you get your start menu to work on landscape? I've seen some threads about this but I would like to know where to change this on the reg myself. Some apps might have unstable behavior when adding apps to the white list.
Thanks!
If you are already StartMenuCust it should work - I think its only when custom roms start coming out that will change.
I should have mentioned - This is just for portrait. You could change the landscape yourself as it is fairly trivial. Look in \Windows for:
StartMenuCust_480x800.cpr = Portrait
StartMenuCust_800x480.cpr = Landscape
Edit these in notepad (it is just xml). You have to change the row count to 4 and change the relative size of the images, text etc.
Just tried this out .... very effective thanks!!
just a little point, after the install, the black screen offers a Restart button or cancel; on my stock HD2 neither worked, it had frozen. A soft reset got it going again, with a 5-column display
any chance of gettin them in a straght line instead of honeycomb?>
Editing seems to be simple enough. The problem is that my start menu doesn't rotate automatically. I could use gyrator to make it work but I would prefer to use the whitelist or any other reg edit. I avoid using programs that have to be running in the background or tweak my Leo for me, as much as possible. If I reg edit and it doesn't work, I know what I did and can always change it back.
Any idea on how to do this?
Thanks!
pdgpereira:
This thread seems to cover the reg changes you need to make. I havent tried it though!
vinokirk:
Not a clue, sorry!
Armes:
I dont know why it crashed for you. It asks you to restart itself (presumably because it changed a system file) so its installers fault!
Thanks for the link. I had been there but with no previous success. I finally did it. I isolated the reg tweaks made by gsen cab, I think, and added some others. A soup of reg tweaks... The problem with cabs is that you never know what exactly they do. I'll be doing some reg cleaning in the next hour.
Now I will try out these 4/5 columns in landscape.
Thanks guys!
Cab for QVGA
Can you please release a QVGA version?

I was also wondering this... Maybe setting HexagonGrid="FALSE" in the .cpr files does the trick? Will try it out and let you know.
vdws: I wouldnt recommend touching the HexagonGrid option. Im not really sure what it is for, but if you set it FALSE your start menu wont work anymore. Well, it will, but after a long pause while it changes back to the default WM6.5 grid. You would then need to change the registry value mentioned in post 1.

I am happy to convert mine to qvga - and tried but its quite hard to judge in the emulator what it looks like. I dont have a qvga device and I cant seem to use the htc fonts in the emulator.
Have you seen:
[Tweak - QVGA] [3-Sept] | 4/5 Portrait | 4/5/6/7 Landscape | Start Menu 6.5
by chris10234?
That looks like it will suit your needs fine. Let me know if you really want my version but i would need you to test it a few times for me!
Looks amazing cant believe i spent the last 4 days without this tweak thanks for doing it before i had to as it was my plan!
Just wish that landscape would auto-rotate on it...

If I want to change it back to original setting, is it just simply uninstall it ?
-----Note------ I had tried it, eveythings back to original by simply uninstall the cab file. Now I am using the 5 items wide, it looks smaller but more tidy than 4 items wide.
Very good and thanks.
Any chance you are going to make some landascape ones?
As i added auto-rotate with bsb-tweaks and now have 5 in portrait and landscape but landscape could much much better...
EDIT: Saw the other thread and if i go for the 5 cab there it will give me 9-wide in landscape, right?
adab: Thats right, uninstalling the .cab should restore the rom default.
chris10230: Yup, I have an updated one here which supports landscape too. For the HD2 WVGA thats 5 portrait and 9 landscape.
Cheers once again!
