Hello guys...
as some of you were asking me, how to permanently put QuickMenu in the place of honeycomb, with a RAM return, I'm putting for you a ready to use package for that.
So - first, we're just installing QuickMenu. Easy, normal process, I'm using the same package for two years already Be warned though it requires DelayedExec app, as QM was sometimes causing some problems during a cold boot. If you don't have it, or don't want it, just re-edit LNK file to remove its usage.
Then - it seems QM can't capture "start" word under wm6.5, so we're using a great app named "StartButton" and set it to capture this word and call QM.
Then - hey! Where're some of the icons from the settings menu?... Well - remember some of them were out of their folders? We need to get them back...
In the end... we want to get rid of the honeycomb itself, as it's still sitting in our RAM - almost 2MB of RAM on QVGA! It's a nightmare... how to do that? Easy... just edit proper CPR files and set them to... null text this way system won't be able to prepare a whole scene and won't load those files - returning you all this RAM. Be careful - it's prepared for QVGA, so for other resolutions, you have to re-edit this file and change the filenames in it!
The package contains all those things - preconfigured QuickMenu, fixed settings items in their proper folders (done with a provXML file), preconfigured StartButton and special initflashfiles.txt file, changing the CPR files to the empty ones.
Enjoy your brand new, fast and full of RAM WM6.5!
DOWNLOADS:
1. For the kitchen:
The package in the EXT format for ervius' kitchen can be downloaded from here.
2. For normal users:
2a. twopumpchump compiled a CAB installation, it's here. It fits all the resolutions!
2b. jfrm reedited this CAB, so it doesn't remove the honeycomb. So, if you want, just quit QM and there's your honeycomb back! It's here.
2c. Another version from jfrm - tapping on logo will pop QM, while tapping on the "Start" word will pop honeycomb. It's here.
Man!
last night i was trying to make this works over the START word in task bar... this is great...!!!
BTW do you know how to remove the titanium?
I dont want the whole files, but if i disable chome in sys or bronze or bronzeEA the start wont works and the devices freeze by itself... maybe we couldnt and just need to disable it in today settings and thats all! but it seems that the semitransparent bars gets lost... in that way we can have a full vanilla lots of storage and great RAM with the speed of WM6.5 and its awsome scrolling.
Nice work dude! will try it on my next release as a ultra vanilla!

good work
hi friend, ltns just tried the new "old style" start menu and seems to be working great. i did get the popup for DelayedExec since i dont have it in my rom, but i can fix that np. im partial to 6.5 start menu myself, but do you mind if i make a cab, or you can if you want, so some of my users can have this on my 6.5 roms? alot of people still want the old 6.1 menus and this would be great for them

go for it Just post it here.
Just remember to change those cpr files to empty ones, so it can free up ram.
why?
This is to have more RAM but...
The quick menu works fine,
that popup error that twopumpchump say stops to show on in second softreset
but can you see the bronzeres error? both plugins... weather and some other in blank and i have only 12mb of ram... could it be due to lzx compression ?
What else to delete?

Install this one as normal and then manually edit StartMenu_Global_*.cpr and StartMenu_GridScene_*.cpr files
Maybe someone will reedit this cab and include a full set of cpr files. Or maybe TPC has already done this.. just check it

Is it possible to keep both menus working?
I have been thinking to much before going to 6.5 due the lost of QMenu and WkTask. So for me your trick is a very, very good news. Thank you very much.
Anyway, Is it possible to keep both menus working?
In my old Hermes 6.1 I have Original Star Menu set to Ms logo Long Press and QMenu to normal press, and now with the huge memory of my new Touch Pro, will be nice to keep both. One for finger use and the other one for stylus time.
Thanks for the effort.

Yes - just don't overwrite those cpr files...
Wonderfull,
I have downloaded your file, but this look like a cocking packet...
How should I install it in a working rom?
Now it works perfect, only thing is I dont see the time and clock in settings anywhere.

It's because I put it into personal section, and not to system, as it was originally I prefer it that way.
Sorry to bother you again, but I'm afraid that the cab is going to overwrite the cpr files and make me loose the HoneyComb.
It that right?
Remember my fist question here, I want to keep both menus working.
remember to search
Think about this
the cab file can be open with winrar or cabmanager or some more apps so... open the cab file and delete the cpr files... save it and you are good to go...
Be cool man our developers woks hard to get more power here.
Sorry, I don't want to disturb.
My english is far from good and maybe there is some missunderstood.
Will try this way. Thanks.

I was tired of making shortcuts by manual editing, so I made this editor.
The program requires .NET Compact Framework 1 and it was tested on a HTC Magician with WM 2003SE and HTC Polaris with WM6. It has been reported to work on HTC Wizard with WM 2005. Please, feel free to post your experience with different device and operative systems.
Looks great!
I think Odeean did something similar a while back, but beautiful either way.

I tried it on my wizard - wm5 and the app would start but soon as i made any selection an error would come up. see jpg
Nice idea - would like to see working - i am fed up too of manual creation of shortcuts as i forget the syntax :wink:

Lol thanks - its now working. Will post later tonight my findings after testing.
Hi oruam57 for simple shortcuts program works fine.
More complex shortcuts e.g.
''\Program files\omapclock\omapclock.exe'' -clock 240 -launch ''\storage card\program files\TCPMP\player.exe'' -restore
your program when editing same lnk just shows ''\Program files\omapclock\omapclock.exe'' -clock 240 -launch in target path / parameters
the last section is missed out - i guess a bug?
even when i add last section manually it will not save it.
look forward to comments\update

Good. The parameters can be as long as you like (at least in theory), the problem you found was due to a parsing bug, not to a length limit.
Redowload the current version, the icon browser is there (not fast but working).

The caching of browsed icons (no need to reload them every time if the file is the same), some more testing, then I will pack all in a cab. Thanks for your testing.
Just uploaded an update. Should be in 'release candidate' status.
Improvements: .bak file creation, cut/copy/past extended on all text boxes, browsed icon caching.

The backup is created only if you open an existing shortcut and it is saved in the same directory of the original with name <original name>.bak.lnk
Moreover, only the original is kept, that is if you open x.lnk, modify it and save, x.lnk contains the new shortcut and x.bak.lnk the original ones. From then on x.bak.lnk is not overwritten and when you are satisfied with x.lnk you should manually delete x.bak.lnk
Hope I was clear enough, English is not my mother tongue.

I'm on the minimalist side: no feature/code if not really required. I will put something in the readme of the install pack.
By the way, I made the editor because I, as an heavy shortcut user, really miss it and I expected that many people had the same problem. From the small number of download it seems not so.
Maybe MS was right (as usual) in not including one in Windows Mobile.
O man, thank you very much for this lovely product you’ve made.
I'm in love with it.
Cheers,

another Titanium Application launcher
easy to add and remove application
you need install mortscript first
and ready your application icon,
i have include some default icon in Program Files\CLauncher\Icon
CLauncher
v0.1 12-5-09
6 pages
All Resolution (but need to test)
v0.2 15-5-09
Option Add/Remove Page - Max 9 pages
2 option for select app
1. choose from list (only select .exe file)
2. manual input (any file with full path eg. \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ActiveSync.lnk , but keep in mind you need start by "\")
fix the problem about update icon (i hope )
v0.21 16-5-09
fix bug on Add/Remove Page
v0.25 14-7-09
add option to choose .exe or .lnk
CSettings
v0.1 14-7-09
same as CLauncher-v0.25
CGames
v0.1 14-7-09
same as CLauncher-v0.25
this must install to Main Memory
Nice, but you can add second line with some application description
where to download please?
I'd like to try it, where can I download it??
No download link
download link
sorry, forgot to upload the file
pls check 1st post
it is working on wqvga, confirmed. But a suggestion would be that it can load .lnk too, not just .exe because activesync for example needs to call /remote as an additional parameter to repllog.exe to start in window and not just as a process
EDIT: until then everybody who wants to use activesync in claunch just go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CLaunch\Page that activesync is supposed to be\ and edit ACTIONURL with this string ':MSSYNCAPP' with no quotes
EDIT2: bug report: it seems that it doesn't refresh icons after the first choice. For example i had resco explorer on page1 and activesync on page2 but i decided to switch places for them and now resco has activesync icon and activesync resco's. That wouldn't be weird if i didn't manually chose new icons for each page but they just stay the same. Only after i edited registry and on page1 as an icon put App2 and vice versa it switched them but that shouldn't be like that so I am searching for the problem a little further. If chris doesn't do it first, ofc
LAST EDIT, i promise here are 6 fixed scripts. They have a delay when changing icon, but at least they work now
guess i lied, another edit, scripts now refresh themselves, no delay
Nice app... This was the exact launcher I was looking for.
I have an elfin (qvga) with dsixda's latest 6.5 beta rom and so far its working perfectly (I only tried to add apps and assign icons to them)
the only thing I noticed so far is that if you install it in your storage card you are not able to add any apps to it later (you get an error msg with a countdown button, don't remember the msg now).
great job..

Can anyone confirm whether this Panel is working with Miri's 6.5 v10 ROM.
I have tried the other AppLauncher posted on this forum but it just doesn't
seem to be working with Miri's ROM so just wanted to make sure before I install
I am creating this thread, because it should be able to be used with any VGA Manila 2.1 device.
Originally I was posting this it 3 threads. But it belongs in it's own thread so the other threads don't get polluted.
Co0kieMonster monster has a thread that accomplishes this for Manila 2.1. Unfortunately that did not work for VGA Manila 2.1.
For WVGA Devices go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=539107
I took that work and used the tools by stzupy to decompile and make slight changes to allow it to work with VGA. Credit goes to both Co0kieMonster and stzupy.
I only claim credit for making the changes to let this be used with VGA.
But,
I did spend a reasonable amount of time on this, so if you appreciate what I've done and want to buy me a beer by donating, it is appreciated. If not, of course it's free to use. On a side note, I plan to donate to Co0kieMonster and sztupzy based on any donations I recieve for porting this to VGA, since their work made it possible for me to do this work.
To install.
Method 1, the cab.
Disable TFL3D
copy the cab to phone.
Launch the Cab
Install to device.
Enable TFL3D
Method 2, Manual
Disable TFL3D
use the reg file to make the needed registry entries ( either use a program or manually create all of them. The reg file can be opened with notepad.
Copy the 3 Manila files to your phone.
Use total commander on your phone to move these to the windows folder.
Enable TFL3D
Please post in this thread links to ROMs that appear to be using without mentioning that this came from JVH3.
I appreciate donations and being asked. And as I noted portions of donations recieved for this will go to Co0kieMonster and sztupzy. It was sztupzy's tools and Co0kieMonster's work on the WVGA device that I started with.
There is a decent amount of work in learning to decompile and compile manila lua scripts and learning what changes affect what, so it was not a trivial task, but nothing in comparison to the total port of Manila 2.1 to VGA that Yozgatg has done.
As of this edit (February 17th, 2010) I have revieved no donations for it. As donations are recieved, I will post the 5 highest donators in this post, along with the 5 most recent.
Edit
Date=July 25, 2010
Donators - Thank you very much.

Great work my friend. I was looking for this. The similar (partial) solutions were not so good...
Thanks a lot..
Good job. A bit laggy in landscape mode at least so it seems but really useful. Thanks for your hard work.
Thanks for this. I am not seeing any problems with all programs in landscape, so it must be something specific to the ROM your running or another mod.

Well, I don't have enough info to know what is wrong, but I can ask these questions and give you a few things to check:
Do you have the VGA port of Manila 2.1 installed or included in your ROM?
What device?
What ROM and what date of the ROM?
This does not create the tab, it changes the existing program tab.
If you don't have a program tab, then it might just be disabled.
If you go to the Settings Tab, there is an option, Customize Tabs.
Make sure that Programs is checked.
Hope that helps

Sorry what a noob thing to do. I'm running the vga port of 2.1 on Juicy's 8 ROM, build 090830 (released 08/30/09), on a Sprint Touch Pro. There is no programs tab to check under the customize tabs settings. I misunderstood what the cab was, sorry. Any thoughts on where I could go to get info. on creating a programs tab?
I dared to install the cab on a Diamond with custom win6.5/Manila 2.0 ROM.
i got the fourth column......with the first and fourth colums halved by the screen side edges! (no icon resizing to get the 4 columns within screen real estate)
Yes, i know the program says Manila 2.1 not 2.0, but...
why it doesnt work in 2.0?
may we expect a Manila2.0 release soon?
Best regards

i got the fourth column......with the first and fourth colums halved by the screen side edges! (no icon resizing to get the 4 columns within screen real estate)
Yes, i know the program says Manila 2.1 not 2.0, but...
why it doesnt work in 2.0?
may we expect a Manila2.0 release soon?
Best regards

There is already a cab for 2.0. Do a search and you will find it.

Sorry what a noob thing to do. I'm running the vga port of 2.1 on Juicy's 8 ROM, build 090830 (released 08/30/09), on a Sprint Touch Pro. There is no programs tab to check under the customize tabs settings. I misunderstood what the cab was, sorry. Any thoughts on where I could go to get info. on creating a programs tab?

Wow, no programs tab.
There is probably some manila file that just needs to be replaced, because the tab is a part of the Manila 2.1 port.
In Manila 2.0, I used to manually modify a file to control the order of my tabs. Might be the same one in 2.1
Found the thread for the ROM:
http://ppcgeeks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58002
I couldn't see any screen shots. I'm not a member there and couldn't see a search this thread. I would search that thread to see where the programs tab is or how to get it back. The people in that thread would most likely know what to do to get it back, since it seems they removed it.
Still can't believe they didn't include it.
[EDIT]
Realized I am a member there. JohnVH3
Haven't posted ther though. Found this in that thread:

I have it. Don't really know how. It wasn't there until I ran my Sashimi config. Then Bam. I'll look into it.

It looks lik your missing some language pack or something else.
It normally shows
ADD
I don't know which file needs to be edited.
I assume you did not have a programs tab before.
I have uploaded to this post, all the Manila files that are in the 8/6 Energy ROM that define these constants. Probably if you copy them to your windows folder, it will look normal for you.
Black Rhodium 3G Dialer for VGA devices
Update: New signed cab to resolve issues with certificate store and thus execution problems
First of all thanks to amarullz for initially porting the Rhodium dialer to VGA - well almost - as it requires the phcanvga.exe for resizing the dialer screens on the fly which sometimes requires killing cprog.exe and phcanvga.exe with restarting it afterwards to get the sizing correct. Nevertheless on his initial work this cab is based.
Basically what I did was the following:
1. Changed all phone and call log graphics to a nice black/dark color.
2. Added German translation files for the dialer.
3. And most important: Fixed the issue that all newer dialers at the moment have when switching to black, namely changing in call screen text for name and number to white. (This was actually the hardest and most time consuming as it required disassembling and understanding phcanhtc.dll. At the end this took me quite a week or so .)
Okay, and now here's the cab for installing (at least on the Touch Pro with Manila 2.1 installed as this was the device I could test it on).
Here's the english language add-on pack for the dialer as requested
For installation you might have to kill the cprog.exe and eventually the phcanvga.exe process(es) beforehand as otherwise the cab installation routine might not be able to overwrite several files. (I'm not sure about this as I did not really test this).

As the dialer is not really ported to VGA as mentioned above but resized on-the-fly you might be successful in using it when deleting the phcanvga.lnk from \windows\startup folder and killing the phcanvga.exe process or soft resetting.
Without a running phcanvga.exe the size should be correct for WVGA - I encourage you to try it and give feedback here if it worked.

1. Yes, I know, since I made the cab for the Touch Pro, I included phcanOverbmp with added battery level icons. If you don't like it just delete/overwrite the phcanOverbmp.dll in \windows.
2. Uptop? I'm afraid I don't know what you mean by that (I even don't exactly know what the word means and my dictionary doesn't list it ). Concerning the scroll bars: phcanvga.exe is definitely not running? Well, then it seems as if it does not work for WVGA. If you are familiar with replacing single (locked) files in the \windows folder and making registry entries you could try the following:
- First uninstall the cab and reset to get back to your original dialer.
- Extract the contents of the cab to a folder.
- Then only replace/copy phcanImages.dll and all the *.bmp and *.png files from the extracted cab in/to the \windows folder. (You could start by only replacing phcanImages.dll and the graphics beginning with Dialer_ and Assets_, this should suffice for a test.
- Change the following registry entries under HKLM\Software\HTC\PHONE to 0x00ffffff: CallStateRGB,CallerNameRGB, CallerNumberRGB, textForegroundColor.
- Change HKLM\Software\HTC\PHONE\backgroundColor to 0x0.
This could give you the desired black dialer skin. But note that if this works the problem you have with the cab is caused by phcanhtc.dll and thus this solution will not give you white in call screen text as this requires modification of the said DLL.

For installation you might have to kill the cprog.exe and eventually the phcanvga.exe process(es) beforehand as otherwise the cab installation routine might not be able to overwrite several files. (I'm not sure about this as I did not really test this).

Get a taskmanager (e.g. fdcsoft taskmanager, which is free and imho very good), look for the two processes and kill them. (phcanvga.exe can also be killed most times by executing it again, though)
Just curious: Did you try installing without killing them and it did not work?

I think this is a general problem (human mistake I'm doing), so I will post it here.
I have WM 6.5 with 2.0.1920.1520 TouchFLO (Imsomnia 3.45) and I cant change M2D themes.
I tried aply themes from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425974
I'm following instructions on this thread but Themes .cab dont work (png's over png's and so on, clock dont change and no call history line), extracting .zip on \Windows same thing, and importing .M2CT files crash M2DC Customizer. I disable TouchFlo before do any of this, and still cant change theme. The skin thread is closed, so I've done this new thread.
Really apprecciate if anyone can help me, havent any idea what I'm doing wrong.
Regards.

Hi again, now I know what you mean and what kind of m2d you are using, the one you have is the new one and the one you referer to is the old one and that is the reason it will not work.

There is no way to add the Call History onto the home tab like in v1.0 of M2D - version 2 doesn't have it, that is why I reassigned the left softkey to callhistory in my ROMs, but you can assign it to the right softkey - it is up to you?
