I use pocketplus to put icons on the desktop of my pocketpc. what i would like to do is remove the system tray icons (i.e. bluetooth and wifi) and use them through wireless manager application. i dont mind if i remove the new menu as well and be able to open a new message document from a shortcut. i hope you understand what im trying to do.
this will make my desktop look a lot neater. also i use pocketplus to create icons on desktop, battery meter and backlight control, close applications. is there any other application out there that takes up less system memory cos i hate having to soft reset once a day. also how do you put this pocketpc in 'flight mode'
thanks
I use reStart to change icons on the 6.5 start menu but does anyone have a program that will delete/add shortcuts? Editing the registry is a bit of a pain.
I also find reStart to be very hit or miss with it's functionality. In fact it's what's messed my start menu up adding shortcuts in places I don't want that I can no longer move. I'm going to try hComber instead for icon changing.
Go to /Windows/StartMenu/Program (and play) ;-)
lol How easy.
Thanks a lot.
we need a taskmanager that can be accesible without filling whole screen..
i used pocket plus in winmo 6....
so heres mi concept...
concept 1:swipe the bottom bar and task icons swipes in to it and replaces the soft buttons but not window button...drag icon out of the bottom bar and throw it to stop task..to kill shake the icon..
concept 2...if above is too difficult ......wen the sys icons on taskbar are tapped the usual things come up <winmo notifier>...wen we tap the empty space instead of notifier task manager come which behaves just like the cocept one..it would also be graet if task icons can be displayed on taskbar....
THANK U FOR READING .... PLX POST COMMENTS BELOW
Hello
I have a question, advace and maybe a request if this is posible.
So for example in HD Tweak we have simalar option to Show battery Icon in the Manila Dialer Top Bar. When you enabled this the Battery indicator is located in Manila Dialer topbar right.
And when you enable it.. when you call etc.. you are able to see anytime your battery, but this is useless because we can see this battery info in the TASKBAR already.
When you do this tweaks with HD Tweak he do some registry editing... my question is can we do this tweak with the Clock?!?
I know all avalible apps that add a clock to your TASKBAR but im talking we to have clock on the Manila Dialer Top Bar.
In this case we dont need to install any 3rd party application.. and etc also the phone will look like default and when you have a conversation you will be able to see anytime the clock witch is SUPER useful
If with registry edit there can be shown or hide the battery indicator why with registry editing there cant have a Clock?
Im asking do someone thing is posible?
In all Builds that not have a clock in the TASKBAR will be very useful in the dialer to be shown the clock.
Im talking about Manila 2.1 Sense but this can be done for all Sense versions.. etc.

Ohh men i told you i know all avalible applications for this Batt clock also have some apps like Batti that show a line with your battery status and in this case you can remove the battery from the taskbar and put there the default clock from settings, system, data and time and show clock etc..
The best program for now witch use litle ram is BattLineSvc V2.1 witch is really good.
I was speaking can we do some reg tweak without to install ANY APPICATION to have Clock in the MANILA DIALER TOP BAR clock to be able to see the time when you making a call NOT in the TASKBAR.
About BattClock I USE every version in the last one year and i know very well how this app work.
Thanks
I always recommend Wisbar Advance for everything taskbar-related unfortunately, it's not free.

I have Wisbar i think nobody understand me!!!
I dont speak about ANY TASKBARS here..
I speak about Tweak/Hack Reg edit whatever the Manila Dialer when you recive call or make call to have a Clock without to install any other Apps for this.
And the Clock is on the TOP RIGHT CORNER of the Manila Dialer im not talking about the TASKBAR
maybe I'm really stupid, but where is the clock supposed to be? there is no space for it in the dialer as there is already the backspace button...

Install HD tweak then enable the Battery to show in the dialer and will see where is supposed to be, have enought space in the gray manila dialer top bar.
You have backspace button right? But when you call or recive call the Backspace button is clear.
You have this Button enabled Only when you dial the numbers..
Also depends from the Dialers, on some dialers the backspace button is on the bottom right on the place for conference call, some dialers not have conference call option and there is the backspabe button and the space on the top is free etc.. have alot of options.
Hi everyone, I am a cooker ( doing great things, but mainly a noob one compared to some masters out there ) .
Cooking on the Omnia I900 & Acer S200 ( french rom only), these devices have low memory.
For example the acer S200 only has 256mb of ram, but mainly the same hardware than the powerful HD2(except ram....:-( )
Arto ( great cooker of the Acer S200 scene ) has found that removing the start menu completely gains 15mb Ram on our devices ( by fooling the system with empty .cpr grid, icons caches aren't generated.)
This can help people make really light roms!!! The main problem now is the we don't have here a real startmenu alternative, a eye candy one than keep the spirit of our devices... Quickmenu is functionnal but not too beautiful.
After many searches over xda, the only thing I found was Quickmenu and the sense Startmenu replacement ( I modded the kenia1234 startmenu replacement to give it 5 columns, here is the work : 5 columns start sense2.5 menu replacement )
I don't know why developper aren't interested in making a real , fast and beautiful startmenu replacement ( with full fonctionnality, at least control panel wikth .cpl files abilty, and even more folder architecture, fullscreen, lightweight ),
but here is the request or that, If others than me are interested, please reply and tell your needs, to help developpers...
Something like Panoramic Launchpad would be great!
Last week I started creating a startmenu alternative. It's very underdeveloped, and I have no idea when it's finished, but to give you an idea I attached two screenshots.
It still lacks a couple of features (if someone can point me in the right direction, please do so ):
- no control panel items yet
- no icon transparency (I got that working, but it was horribly slow)
- no background (because of the lack of transparency)
- no hook on the hardware windows key (like quickmenu)
- no hook on the software start button (like ameba does on winmo 6.5.x)
- if there's no png file attached to a link, no icon is displayed
But the other basics are working:
- starting programs by clicking (yes I know, very basic )
- flipping pages by swyping your finger (left->right, right->left, up->down, down->up)
- opening folders, and going back up one level with the left soft button (just like the usual start menu)
I actually started this because I'm not a fan of the hexagon grid styled start menu, not because of memory issues. I did take a look at the current memory usage of my start menu, and currently it is 1.41MB. But that will grow with more icons and transparency I guess.
If you're interested I can continue developing this startmenu.
The most important thing to me is ram usage, the lower it is the best it is,
the png file limitation to display an icon should be reconsidered, the ability to display native icon is much more important, or, much easily to program, you can make your app request the "HKLM\Security\StartInfo\Start\myprog.lnk" key to read the icon you should display, if nothing is entered, lets just start the native icon.
This is important to make your startmenu replacement user friendly. nobody likes assigning manually an icon to an app, having the ability to do it is good, but the most important for the users is that your program automaticaly displays the native icon like the start menu does.
To use cpl, you just have to use a ctlpnl.exe command line, like this :
ctpnl.exe mycpl.cpl
if cpl has multiple tab, ctpnl.exe mycpl.cpl,1 ( where the number is the tab you want to be open)
for cpl files, I thinks its the big part of the job :-(
What I meant with:
- if there's no png file attached to a link, no icon is displayed

My program uses the icons set in HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start, but if it's an older program, there might not be a high resolution icon, and in that case I won't display any icon. That's something I will fix ofcourse.
I'll have a look at the cpl files, and I guess google will help me there as well.
Also looking for a way to show my startmenu instead of the winmo startmenu, but no luck so far. If anybody knows how to catch when the winmo startmenu is activated in c#, please let me know.
Hi guys
Have you ever heard of iPhoneToday http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633618 ? It's so light and configurable
XTask has a good looking, light start menu replacement.
If you leave out the start_icon.png's, then the native icons are used. The 6.5 start menu also slows down boot time dramatically. Just delete all the shortcuts, soft reset, and check the millisecondtoidlethread in hkcu/performance. Boot time may be 20-30 seconds faster.

This certainly looks very interesting! Please continue, I also hate the honeycomb (as many people around).
I like this

Hi m8
I also hate the startmenu but this is cose it eats arround 30mb of ram...
There is a way to disable the default startmenu ....
Look this post its working fine on Blackstone NRG roms.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7911317&postcount=16270
I just dont like the replacement menu or the quickmenu
Your app can be assigned to startmenu button with ameba
If can i help with your project on this just let know
Also keep in mind that many shells (Throttle Launcher, Mobile Shell etc) read the data to load program shortcuts from the start menu, so that the replacement has to take care of that too.
what do you think about wisbar 4? would this be an alternative to quick menu? i was using this prog. a year ago and i was totaly impressed. now i use it again together with the new energy rom from august 28. after the replacement from the start menu i have real nice and fast blackstone
