Think he means winmo 6.5x too tired to explain,someone help the guy out
Older version of winmo6.5 have start icon on top left, newer ones have it on a bottom bar, so is the ok button and all the others. Is this what you are trying to say?
No way to change it unless you flash a new rom.
No way to flash a new rom without HSPL.
Good luck!
Yeah I'm guessing he is talking about 6.5X v 6.5 as well.
If your start menu is in the upper left corner of your screen you have 6.5
If you have the start menu in the lower left corner of your screen you have 6.5x.
While they are pretty much the same operating system, they are very much different.
It is possible to change the top and bottom bars with a cab, but it is not possible to put the 6.5x soft bar on the 6.5 op system or visa versa.
here is a link to a post with different top and bottom soft keys you might be able to try.
I hope this helps.

Did you get the bottom softbar changed like you wanted?
What phone do you have?
What windows version? 6.5xxx or 6.5 or ?
What ROM Version?
You can find all this in your settings under About Phone...Software Information
no im gonna try right now and i will let u know and thank everyone so much for helping me on other sites i dnt even get a reply so agin thank u guys
and its a 6.5 i guess my start is in the uper left hand side is that good or bad
and ive already tried at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642832 and i downloaded some and its not showing up at all it does ask to soft reset my phone like all other downloads and i did it but its not showing up
The supposedly more stable "COM2"/6.5 builds are what your phone's OS is from.
There are a different branch, "COM5"/6.5.x, which offer a more finger-friendly User Interface and have a different layout (start button is on bottom left corner on a taller bottom bar).
The link you provided, however, is for 6.5 builds and does work for your phone. Maybe you need to go into Start>Settings>Home and change the theme there.
I don't customise the graphics that much on my phone so I'm not sure if that's all that's necessary or if that's the correct method but it shouldn't hurt to try

It's there just need to do another step to get it to show up...
Go to Settings/menu-All settings/today.
Pic a wall paper and then touch OK.
then go back to Today, and select T-moble (or your default paper). then close it out to your today screen. The soft bar should be there now.
Cheers!
yes your richt thank u so much

Hee,
it wont come up? i did everything you said a couple times but nothing changed...
Anyone know how to move folders and apps from one Home screen to another. After my 2.1 updated software, the new home screen now contains more screens. At present I am using ADW.LAUNCHER. It is great but I thought a change. ADW has its own settings button and I can restore all my settings on that! I want to move all!!![/
The normal long click and drag sideways doesn't work ?
click n hold icon and simply drage it toward ur choice of screen (left or right) perhaps a little out of the screen, it should go to another screen. mine works like this.
hope it works

Great idea! It seems every time I hand my phone to someone to look at or take a picture, the display will change and they'll say "what happened?". I'll give this app a try.

Is anyone even interested in this app?

I am interested in it. I'm trying out the free version (before I buy) but I notice somethings. Maybe its just me but when I watch a movie on the default player on my Evo4G, after tapping on the screen a few times, the lock disables. I can skip through the entire movie and even get out. I'm going to try it with a different player later today.
A few suggestions,
1) It would be nice if the toggle button changed (ex. inverted colors) because when I had the movie problem, I couldn't tell if it was locked or unlocked.
2) Is it possible we can change the location of the toggle button, at least like different corners because it's too close to the home button when in landscape.
One final note, when its locked, you can still drag down the notification bar. So far its looking pretty good. Let me know if I'm doing something wrong since I've only been playing with it for about 30 minutes. Thanks.
Man, this is just what I was looking for ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431037 ). Super!
I want it for e-reading in kindle or aldiko. Tested so far briefly on Galaxy Tab 8.9 (android 3.2) and an HTC Desire (2.3.3) ... Just fine so far.
I first tried Screen Tools 2, but that one messed up the use of volume buttons for page flipping in both kindle and aldiko.
it took me a while to understand some of the options, like the meaning of "auto on toggle". Also, the toggle app shortcut only works as "on switch" for me... With touch screen disabled, the toggle can't be used to deactivate.
It also took me a while to figure out how to unlock (the use of the tiny toggle button is not documented in the settings or anywhere)
EDIT: I realize now this is what's meant by onscreen button in the settings
The option to leave the edge active is also great, although I will probably opt to switch pages with volume buttons.
EDIT: swiping pages this way works well on the tablet, but is hit and miss on the phone. The edge size may need to be user selectable?
I second the idea to color code the tiny toggle.
Great work.
EDIT: I was searching (Google) for a long time using keywords like "disable touch screen" (all about turning screen off) and "disable touch sensitivity" with no results... Until I found screen tools 2, and then very accidentally this one.

Extra feature idea....
disable touch sensitivity along the edge only, keeping sensitivity on the center
Use case: I need something that allows me to hold the tablet a bit more firmly, in one hand, which means putting my thumb in the screen just a bit.

I can add the feature to block edges only, but there is an app called grip it which does just that.
And yes, I should probably use the icon for the status + maybe done kind of animation to tell you when toy unlock vs lock the screen.

hatcyl,
This is a great idea! If only I could get it to work.
After it installs, I can't open it. The screen blinks when I click on the icon, then.... nothing. According to my file manager, the app is running, but I can't access it.
I have the exact same problem with Screen Tools 2.
I tried to uninstall, reboot and reinstall, but it still won't work.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus on ICS.
I'd really like to get this working. Any ideas?

How can I make this work on Galaxy S2? Original 2.3.4 Rom
I have no camera and search button. Where are the settings?
I have installed it, but when I press on it, nothing!
Please help! I need this application!
After buying hardware key support, on my Galaxy S2 the home (and power) bottons still work... even with No Touch active, ofc. Otherwise no problems on my device, also on 2.3.4 ^^.
Also, I absolutly need a popup window on trying to unblock, for inputing a code to unlock, optionaly and maybe only on the payed for version . It is way too easy for my 2 and 4 year olds to unlock otherwise.
Also, I agree, change the color on button when unlocking/locking No Touch.
I would like to be able to choose which tiles on the homescreen to lock. That would be just perfect.
Just tried it and it works nice. I just have one question before I upgrade. If I block the hardware buttons will I skill be able to unlock using a long press of the search key?
is there any chance to make this app lock the screen with long press home button? that would be universal for all android phones. no camera button in my s2. and also so the phone will not respond to any other buttons (ie power button)

+1
Swyped from HD2 on Dorimanx
+1 for the long press home button to unlock idea! I guess my kids wouldn't figure that out too fast (Instead of "a popup window on trying to unblock")
I am new to this device and am having some issues
I loaded some apps on it and now I am unable to get the key board up. The hand writing works and the hand writing recognition to text work but I can't seem to find the keyboard.
I wish there was a place to go to get a full tutorial on how to use the device as well.
any help would be appreciated.
If you are using the default keyboard, then in the script mode, you should see an icon that looks like a keyboard on the left side of the space bar. Tap it and you should be switched to the keyboard screen. If you long press it then you will see 3 icons pop up one for voice one for toggling between keyboard and script and the last one for settings.

Hello!
For those who can not remove the Search Bar from the Home Screen, I found a way to do it.
This is for CyanogenMod 11, KitKat 4.4.3 Build 14/06/2014:
On the Home Screen, you press and hold the screen, untill the "wallpapers/widgets/themes" options come out.
When that happens, press the three dots that look like an arrow, it will open another menu with lots of options to change.
There, the first option you can change is the Search Bar, turn it off. Press the three dots again to minimize the menu, hit back and that's it.
Hope this helped.
This is actually pretty helpful. As I never knew there was extra features like these on the new Trebuchet launcher.
Nice find!

Yes, I found it by mistake, and didn't know how to get to that place again... But once I did, I wanted to share this with everyone.
Now we don't need to change the Trebuchet launcher to get rid of that. Even though it's bugged... When getting the "trebuchet has stopped" error (when adding a widget on the home screen), I just reboot the phone, and it's working again. Although even this sucks...
But at least I'm happy I found how to get rid of that annoying search bar.

I'm having the same issue. I just installed Cyanogenmod on my phone and when I was customizing the home screen, I saw exactly what the OP shows in his screenshots. However, after installing Google Apps, that screen has changed. It only shows the Wallpapers, Widgets and Settings buttons, and no button to expand settings. Pressing the menu button doesn't do anything either. In both cases I was using the default Android theme.
