Wm 6.5 Startmenu - folders? - Windows Mobile Software Development

Hi there
Sorry in advance, if I over-read an existing Thread in the "search-list" but I didn't find an Answer for my Problem -.-
My Problem is the new Startmenu of the WM 6.5
[My Device is the (Topaz) Touch Diamond II - with Original ROM]
In my eyes, the startmenu is a mess and totally not sorted. I saw in a few custom ROM's that some cooks, like sorted the whole thing with folders. I tried it by myself but failed. Because I was able to create folders in windows/startmenu/programs and also to move the icons into folders.. but when I pressed the Windows-Icon, some Icons were just duplicated. (for Example, Quick GPS was onetime just in the startmenu like before and another time in the folder I created)
so, long text - short Question:
Is there a cab for sorting the startmenu or what exactly do I have to do? o0
I hope you understood me, even my english is rubbish -.-
best regards
Vashi

you could try Showaco's reStart

ROM cooking: smthing else than initflashfiles affects shortcuts

Hi, everyone! I´m still working on a Wizard (don´t want to touch my Hermes, yet). I´m pretty advanced... but
I dump the [latest] original cingular WM5. I rebuilt it with office 2007 and realize that the original shortcuts are still there. Of course, they are both useless (as I have new names for the apps) and annoying (because I can´t remove them before compiling).
This is the whole point: Those shortcuts are not coming from neither an xml update for the XIP nor an initflashfiles.txt
HOW ON EARTH DO I REMOVE THEM. I can´t find what is creating and copying those shortcuts
Are they embedded in the OS.nb file? If so, how do I take that file apart?
Any help is very much appreciated!
..provxml, m8..
Nope, had checked already
*.mopvxml, etc had been checked.
But... what did you mean by m8?.
BTW: I will check inside os.nb now, but please give me fresh ideas
You may also want to check for a file called initflashfiles.dat. That contains a lot of shortcut information as well. Especially for apps that are default for that particular ROM. It should be found in the OEM\OEM_LANG_* folder in the kitchen. The (*) is the locale number. For example, a WWE ROM would have the folder as OEM_LANG_0409.
Yep, solved (initflashfiles.dat)
Hey, thanks! You´re FAST!
I was about to post it. But thanks, you could have saved me hours
Anyways. If anyone ever reads this thread, remember: scavenging os.nb(a) isn´t that great. An automated kitchen does it all (Hypercore in this case).
I also found somebody claiming that certain shortcut came from a dll. Just keep as a sidenote.
Cheers!

[CAB][26 nov 09] Taskbar UNINSTALLER or STOCK ICONS installer ...whatever but reverts

OK many users have asked me to revert changed (skinned) taskbar icons back to the stock XPERIA ones (most taskbar skins are currently uninstallable, but not when the user has over-installed a new CAB or when they are pre-cooked into a ROM)
I have prepared two CABs with all the XPERIA stock files
These CABs will revert all of the taskbar icons to the original stock ones
Choose the proper CAB for Windows Mobile 6.1 or Windows Mobile 6.5
THIS IS BETA
PLEASE TEST AND REPORT
[26 nov 09] EDIT:
I have prepared a CAB to re-install the STOCK XPERIA battery only, registry keys included, for WM6.5 ROMs (could be compatible to WM6.1 ROMs too, so please test)
is there a way to just replace the wait icon for 6.5 from the green SE bouncy one..
YES it will be done, for sure
I'm currently dissecting 6.5 files
Just let me finish the surgery and I will report after washing my hands
dissect away...because the 6.5 unistaller doesn't work..i had to reflash today

Still learning how the new OS works
trust me i know too well how tricky the registry in 6.5 is..i've had to reflash about 5times in 2 days because of the damn registry..im currently trying to find a way to change the font in titanium without having to modify the .cpr file..hw's ur surgery coming along

modifying the font ??
1- Get your new font, rename it to tahoma.ttf
make a copy of your font and rename to tahomabd.ttf
2- Open both with font creator (http://www.high-logic.com/fontcreator.html)
Go to Autonaming
3-Change the name of your font to "Tahoma" and "Tahoma Bold" respectively. Save both
4- Copy your "tweaked" tahomas to /windows/ (replace the stock ones) -> reset
Done
PS: I can not test the WM6.5 CAB untill I get my WM6.5 ROM absolutely finished and streamlined to the Sony OEM software package, then I will test
thanks you very much
Thanks for making the cab - unfortunately I can't seem to get it to work.
I'm installing it over Jack's Full 3.3 ROM, which has Anx1 Tsowen Taskbar by default.
After installation, the taskbar icons are completely blank, and all the other icons in the start menu, file explorer, etc. are corrupted, eg. folders have the internet explorer icon.
Any ideas for a fix?

This CAB restores the tweaked files only
You can ask ANGELUSZ for the required registry changes (they are just 2 values I guess)
Once you change those registry keys back, all will return to normality
thank you very, very muvh!
the cab didnt work.. i got the same results as _Robert_ did, all the icons disappeared, and there were just blank spaces.
i tried this fix though, something about using MAX TF3D and restoring the original icons:

but anyhow, thanks very much for your help, gtrab!
Anyone who know how to get stock icon files in windows mobile 6.5 ?
Or to change the them ? Please help
Hey so i just installed the WM6.5 icon pack and it all works and all but you recieve the charging symbol even after you unhook the device after charging
EDIT:NEVERMIND
Hey,
great cab, reverted everything except for the volume control on Kisja's WM6.1 Sense 2.5 RC1 rom. Any fix for this?
THIS IS FOR THE XPERIA X1 USER INTERFACE
Manila/TouchFlo/Sense phones use a different, customized phcanOverBMP.dll (which contains the taskbar icons)
So this CAB is not recommended for sense/manila/tOUCH flo devices
Try at your own risk
Why some people think
PS: If you are using a cooked ROM which includes manila, then ASK THE COOKER, because installing XPERIA STOCK files over MANILA will creatre a MESS of course.
Why some people think XPERIA has "native manila ?? Thiat's a Blasphemy !!
I just used the Stock XPERIA X1 battery icons WM6.5.cab on the H.V4 Sense Rom and so far it works with no problems.
hello everyone. i want the colored 6.1 style start button on my 6.5. will this 6.1 stock cab help? is there another way to do it?
Is it possible to convert an iconset from 6.5 for use on 6.1 ?? Is there a gd guide I could start from ?

Need stock shellres.192.dll (from wm 6.1)

Hi,
I downloaded this ROM, which i can by the way recommend to everyone . But a big thing which is annoying me, is the start-button. It's the HTC-logo. Now i am looking for the original wm 6.1 start button (the colored one). Can someone upload his shellres.192.dll for me?
Thanks in advance.
If you change with stock shellres.192.dll, you will loose all the nice icons in the taskbar.
Try to look at this thread [SKN] Tsowen Taskbar Collection and look for the taskbar for WM6.5.
Or you can read this http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=54514 and try to change the start icon by yourself...

Answer to your second question:
You can press and hold on the icons in the startmenu and move them to the top In build 23037 (which I run with) you can actually move them around by press and holding them;-) maybe it can do in the earlier versions too?
Regards
vido
As far as I know the icons in the Manila programs tab have the same icons as the ones in the wm start menu (in newer versions atleast) how to change them only in Manila I do not know but in the wm start menu it can easily be done with HComber or reSTART.
And as virupan said it is possible to change the order of the icons.

My Homescreen, etc... for you

Hello,
i just want to share my Homescreen-Appearance with all of you and give the germans out there a helpin hand.
It took/takes alot of time to find the files and cabs that made the homescreen look like the screens attached, and so its easier to find them in one single post.
Everybody who wants to have a nearly german manila can use the files attached.
Everybody else: only the files that are described to be german are german so u can use the other files without limitation
All files can be found in xda-forum or htc-developers etc...
They are free to download, therefore BIG THX to the developers.!
I haven't made the cabs/manila-files myself so i CAN'T and WON'T give support if they don't work with your HD.
The manila-language files are edited by myself.
I'm using Miri WM 6.5 WWE 21889 :: MANILA 2.5 :: REV 18.0 (latest Manila 1922 and working "My Location" signed rilphone 1.15.25.14, cab from Cortez.I)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=542104
Radio: 1.17.25.09
So i can fully confirm they are workin with this ROM and RADIO.
If I change the language of a WWE Rom via the registry i loose at least SMS incoming sound, there is no fix!, so far (others reported u will loose much more...)
So i decided to edit only the manila language files to have most of the functions and buttons in GERMAN and set the manila to german in settings: (Settings->Locale & text->Location->Region:German(Germany)) for correct Date and Currency!
The manila files have to be copied with Total-Commander (or similar tool) to the \Windows\*.* folder and overwrite the old ones,
AFTER removing the DESCRIPTION i added to file name. Example:
2c89bd29_manila25-germanhomescreen ---> 2c89bd29_manila (its the language file for "normal" WWE en-us)
And of course u have to Softreset after installing the cabs or files!
U cannot rollback after u copied the files unless u saved the original files first or someone is making a .cab of them!!!
5fa4d4b7_manila25-wvganoflippingclock:
the clock still flips but the unnecessary flipping if u are going back to homescreen will be stopped.
The background is stock right after flashing the ROM. But i have switched off the Weather animation via registry because if u switch the animation off by using an animation wallpaper, there is no simply black Background (Miri has cooked this background from the LEO)
HKCU/Software/HTC/manila/Home.WallpaperMode
change from dword 0 to dword:1.
The weather animation in Home tab will be disabled
I hope, everybody is enjoying these changes like i do....
P.S. rest of the files second post.
