Quickmenu 2.7 on HD.....Not working?

Hey all,
I've just tried installing the latest version of Quickmenu. Has anyone else tried this piece of software? I was going to say excellent but unfortunately after a while my entire top bar (Start, Task Manager, Custom Notification icons, Signal level etc...) is no longer responding.
The only fix is power cycle. I can't even do a soft reset through SPB Mobile Shell. SPB Mobile shell is still responding and I can select the soft reset icon but I just get the spinning windows busy logo and then I'm back where I was.
Is there another Start Menu replacement that can give cascading menus like Quickmenu? I'm not fussed about all the extra bells and whistles just a cascading menu program would suffice.
Anyone else out there using anything on their Blackstone (Touch HD) ??

I've got it installed on mine... orange uk. Works a charm. I've also got sdk certs and topbar icons... but qm2.7 seems pretty stable. maybe you got something clashing? Can't really help 'cept to say it does work so keep trying.

It works a charm for me too: version 2.7.387.1527

What settings are you guys using as far as taking control of the system i.e. X-Button, Active Sync, OK Close etc..etc..
Thanks for the replies!

Also, When I choose Close Program - Task Manager I get Memory Settings???

General
----------------------
Auto start = yes
cache file icons = yes
replace start = yes
register win key = no
right arrow = no
"ok" key to close = no
x-button = no
long press = suspend
popup edit menu = yes
close activesync = yes (but doesn't work)
Exclude
---------------------
manile = both not
pocketcm = not close
View
---------------------
show Q = no
show battery = no
show X = no
the rest as you want
Menu items
--------------------
as you want (keep "Frequenters" checked otherwise you won't see the menu the right way)
Command
---------------------
ONLY if you don't see setting in menu, use this function to create a shortcut fon settings, then create a "settings" folder in start menu and put the shortcut in it
-------------
that's all.

A simple Question

Hi, I Got my T-Mo TP2 the other day (used to have a x7501) and there is one thing that's driving me CRAZY. When TF3D is enabled how do you change the soft keys to something else and rename them? I tried using SK-tools but that didn't work either. When I go to "setting,personal, Menus, buttons" the only one listed is the "Send" button in the list. Is there a reg hack to fix this?
Also PBar will not work with TF3d?? Thanks...Tj

Install Advanced Config. Under Menu>More Settings>Key Mapping, you can change the softkeys from here
To get it, search!!

Hmm Ok I did that and it still opens the Camera on left soft key and People on the right one...I also tried this with SK Tools. For some reason after TF3D starts it goes to the default soft keys, Maybe it has something to do with it being a T-mo phone?...Tj

did you try a soft reset? It worked for me, may becuase I've got the WWE...

To Modify left/right home softkeys in Manilla (Touch Flow 3D) you can edit the Registry as follows.
DEFAULT: All Fields Blank.
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila
The Left key keys are as follows (I've setup to Opera):
HomeLSKText = Web
HomeLSKPath = \windows\Opera Browser.lnk
(I've left my right key default for the moment - i.e. blank which will default to camera.)
The right key registry keys are as follows:
HomeRSKText
HomeRSKPath
After you have finished do a Soft Reset - (no need for 8,000 SR )
Enjoy!

Have any Idea how to add HTC's Program List as a softkey? I don't like the launcher but I like the list. I'd rather get rid of the programs tab and just launch the programs list from the home page.

Ahh OK now thats much better, thought I was in for 8001...lol...Tj

After finally managing to get rid of my horrid vodafone theme, I've noticed that the soft keys have changed from All People/Internet to Phone/Camera.
The camera one is super annoying as I'm always pressing it by accident, using the hack above I have managed to change the right key back to internet, but I'm struggling with the left key.
Can someone tell me what the HomeLSKPath needs to be to bring up 'All People'
TIA

HI,
Newbie here...just got my TP2 last week. If I want to swith the Left soft key to Contacts, what to i write n HOMELSKPATH= . Cant see to get it to work...thanks in advance..
KL

For those looking for Contacts/All People in the link.
Can't test this, as I'm using Finger-Friendly-Friends as my contact manager, but.....
To get the contacts application try the following in the path:
\Windows\Start Menu\Contacts.lnk
If you have "Contacts" in your start menu then this should work.
If you don't have "Contacts" in your start menu then:
Temperorly put it there
Copy the file (\Windows\Start Menu\Contacts.lnk) to your PC
Edit it with notepad (or similar).
Use the path that you see in this file.
You can now remove "Contacts" from your start menu again.
Hope this helps.

I hate the camera softkey being there also. I hit it by mistake all the time. I would like it to be Opera too I think and the all contacts can stay on the right.. I don't know what I am doing but I may try to edit mine. I am new to all this.. I have Total Commander is that how I get to my registry to modify it?

i too need assistance w/ remapping the camera softkey...i dont know why they would have made that a default location for a business phone...

Some problem..

Changing AT&T background in TF3D

Is there any way to change the background in TF3D from AT&Ts logo to anything else? I can change the home page, and the lock screen without TF3D enabled, but as soon as I enable it again and go to any tab in TF3D the AT&T logo is there. What can I do about this, without changing ROMs?

Search for TF3D or manila 3D themes, download the one you like and install it on your T2

The following files in \Windows are the TF3D background images (Top/Buttom Portrait & Left/Right landscape).
Code:
29cff4fe_manila
058acf31_manila
77feee1d_manila
70083a29_manila
These are 3D Polygon Textures. You need a program such as CFC GUI to edit those images. Under the "TF3dv2" menu select "Create background". Choice either Portrait or Landscape WVGA from the drop down & click "Load". Choose the image you want (Must be a PNG, It helps to create the Image you want & crop it to the correct size ahead of time, WVGA Portrait = 480 Wide x 696 Tall in Pixels/Landscape = 804 Wide x 377 Tall). Uncheck the "CFC" Check Box & Click Save. It'll save the files in the folder you choose during the initial setup. It'll create 2 _manila files for each Portrait or Landscape. Copy these to your SD Card & then use Total Commander or Rosco Explorer to copy them into \Windows overwriting the originals. Restart TF3D to see the change.
EDIT: There's a scrollbar on the right side of the BG creation window. Use this to adjust brightness. You'll notice the images are a lot brighter then the BG's I made. I darkened it so the text would show better. In my first attempt, the BG was too bright & the white text became hard to read in certain places.

Search for HDWall, it works good and does what you want I think. I also had to run one of the Manila cabs (HQWallpaper patch or something) that was included in one of the folders with HDWall.

Thanks for all the ideas and suggestions.

Disable Animation

I am using EnergyROM WM 6.5, recently upgraded from Dutty 6.1
I found very annoying and time consuming this "animation" which is active on each menu...
For example: you may start "contacts" then touch Menu (bottom right): the list of options appear, with a 0.5sec delay...in WM6.1 it was instantaneous...
If you edit a SMS or email message> Click "Menu": a list of option (first level) is shown, if then you click on My Text or Insert, then the list pops down and pops up (1 sec delay) with the 2nd level of options...in WM6.1 it was immediate...
I found the animation slow, sluggish and I prefer to remove it and go back to WM 6.1 style (faster).
Can someone point me the way to disable animations in "menus"?
Thanks and waiting.
Saulo

I see this ROM (Energy ROM WM6.5) is equipped with two tweaking utilities:
1. WVGA Tweak
2. Advanced Config
Maybe the trick to disable animations is within this apps?
Thanks and waiting for suggestions
Saulo

I tried using the Tweak Applications for Blackstone, but I cannot see any item or area where I can edit the animation settings...can somebody share his ideas?
Thanks and waiting

I'm on EnergyROM as well (from Nov. 3rd) and I found this: Open the start menu, hit Tools, hit Tweaks. There, you will find something called "Finger Menus OFF" and "Finger Menus ON". When you turn off Finger Menus, you no longer have the nice looking HTC Menus - but the menus appear instantly. But sadly they're very small. But it's better than waiting for the menus to pop up! Atleast for me!

So there's no way to have finger menu without animation, am I right?

registry edit
If you are talking about the HTC Menus, then there is a registry edit which will disable the animation:
Go in a registry editor to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCMenus]
and set
"EnableVSync" to 1 (dec)
"AnimationRadio_LS" to 0 (dec)
"AnimationRadio" to 0 (dec)
and then soft reset. I hope it helps.

thanks!!

Howto Disable Manila/Sense menu?

It's been discussed here:

the problem is the registry key does not work for me while using htc sense. I still have the slow menu. Can anyone tell me more about this?

Justrome0, are you trying to change the menus that pop up inside sense? For example, menus in each of the manila tabs? If so, to my knowledge that is not possible. The reg edit only works to switch between WM or HTC menus outside of sense.

Thanks sean... yeah i was wondering if that is possible .... i searched a lot and it seems it's not possible, it seems applications can override the menu they will use regardless of the operating system default.
I was curious tho if there's any way to tweak that menu to appear faster. The animation is really slow on blackstone. Probably works fine on HD2 but not here ... maybe the duration can be changed to like 0 or 1 frames.

I hope I'm not confusing what you're trying to do. If you're using the HTC menus outside of manila in other applications then there certainly is a way to speed them up, and it's essentially a two part tweak. With a registry editor go to HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCMenus and look for three things, EnableVsync, AnimationRadio Portrait and AnimationRadio Landscape. Start with EnableVSync and set its decimal value to 0. This will allow the animation of the menu to scroll up or spread out twice as fast. Next look at both AnimationRadio settings. The AnimationRadio controls how fast the animation of the menu scrolls up or spreads out. By default their decimal setting is 16. The higher you set the animation speed the less animation you get, but the faster the menu opens. Traditionally I set each decimal value to 64, but you might want to play with different settings to see what works best for you. You may just try setting Vsync to 0 first and see if that is fast enough. Keep in mind that the animation radio tweak may not work consistently in some programs. For example, a couple of menus in my registry editor pop up with animation some do not. For me, however, that is the only program that does that. Hope that helps.

Thanks a lot for info sean, unfortunately it does not work for me.. I either hate it so much that I can't see the difference or there's actually no difference .
VSync was already 0 for me probably changed by the cook.
Nevermind tho ... i found a titanium theme that looks like HTC Sense and it's pretty nice.

Has some issues but at least it's responsive.

I have an HTC HD2 phone running stock Windows 6.5 ROM. I have installed the flash lite application and downloaded some freeware flash lite games.
The games run perfectly however one particular game I play requires me to keep the screen pressed. But when I do this the flash pop up menu is displayed (pause, play, loop etc). Is there a way of disabling the menus you have mentioned above to stop them from popping up, maybe a reg tweak or something?
Appreciate your help.
