I can't change the start menu items, I can't add shortcuts or remove shortcuts to and from start menu...I mean, the changes from editing menus did not appears immediately in start menu...
It needs soft reset to refresh the start menu...strange...
This is really weird!!! :?
for me, when I change the menu items, the changes are reflected immediately!!!
What ROM version you have?
When I hard reset my xda2, the problem was gone...but after installing many2 apps,it happens again...dunno which apps cause the problem though...my rom is 1.60.00
This also happened to me too!!!! :roll:
I think the problem is that there is a limit to the number of icons that you can have in the start menu. Adding any further shortcuts after this limit has been reached will have no effect!
I don't think so...Because I have only 5 items on my start menu...
and, I found any other problem too...the new installed apps doesn't display the shortcut in Programs Folder (start>programs), It needs soft reset to refresh the programs folder, or you can simply enter games folder and go to programs folder again to refresh it... :roll: :roll:
Gotcha!! I have found the answer for this problem...the start menu freezed and need a soft reset to refresh it when you use a theme that not fully compatible with WM2003...just use the theme that fully support WM2003 and the problems gone!
I've tried searching, I can't seem to narrow my search enough to get relevant results.
I installed NullKB to block the annoying SIP popup from searchfromtoday. I first installed it to the memory card, and went into settings ~> input and selected it as the default input method. I go back to my today screen and the SIP still pops up when I tap the searchfromtoday box. I think that maybe it needs to be installed in main memory to work, so I uninstall, and reinstal to device. Still the same thing. I noticed that I can go into input, select nullkb, tap OK, then come back and it goes back to keyboard. It's like the change to nullkb won't "take" so to speak. Any ideas? Search from today is amazingly useful, but the SIP popup is a deal breaker.
Another quick question: How do I make programs launch on startup? I like to have magicbutton task manager launch everytime I start up the device. As it is now I have to open it after every reset.
If i remember correctly if you go into magic button settings, there should be an option to automatically start.
As a rule if you want a program to startup when the device starts place a link in the windows\startup folder, i.e. a lnk file to the program.
MSigler - after installing NullKB, try a soft reset. Also, don't set it as the default keyboard through the registry - if you do, you may end up with the device not booting anymore and requireing a hard reset (lose all data).
Mark - Thanks for the tip, I found that, but I'll use the startup trick in the future.
I did do a soft reset and it still doesn't work.
Mods - I don't even know where to put this (although I've looked for similar posts, sites, wikis, you name it, I haven't seen it).
My touch screen doesn't work, I don't have a start menu that has anything in in except "Today." The rest is blank. It didn't disapear right away, either. My touch screen worked after one soft reset, and I still had the expected display of the start menu, but none of it worked. Somewhere in the middle of all that my .tsk changed to the default. After another reset, I am here:
No Start Menu (Today option only)
Default .tsk
No links from Ultimatelaunch to startmenu links work, but links to Programs themselves do (in Program Files)
No CommMgr via hdwe key, but my wifi was on when this all started, and keeps restarting, without recognizing my network (I just re-entered my WEP key)
the joystick works, and the keys do things, but the camera and CommMger keys can't find thier apps.
the joystick won't select my wifi bubble radio button, but otherwise works.
AEBPlus stopped working, so I can't get to my MortButtons to launch anything else.
Since I don't have a start menu, I don't have a file explorer I can get to (yet I have 3....)
Phone works (but only using hdwe keys)
I can't do much else (no screen print uless you want me to take a picture of it with my Wiza200)
I'm doing quick copy of my Program Files and App Data foldera to catch all the changes I did today, the rest is synced (but I'll copy what I can) via a Guest partnership, since the name of the device seems to be gone as well.
I was playing with assigning hardware keys, fisrt with AEBPlus, then I switched to Calligrapher's config mgr (I was trying to regain the functionailty of button 3 press&hold, which went away with assigning the other keys with AEBPlus). It was all I did, besides play a few audio files with Vito Audio Notes and Vito Sound Explorer, since my last reboot.
Prior to that I was trying to get my video streaming up & running this way:http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=FlashVideoBundle
, and I installed Vito Metronome (just to see. kind of a waste. KOOK K-met is better, even tiny on VGA), and MccMobile Finder, but had reset a few times to recheck my timing in a Mortscript to bring back my today screen after having MccMobileFinder and Vito Audio Notes launch on start up (niether of which will automatically minimize.)
I had just entered all my reg codes earlier today, and I know there are too many, so this sucks.
Are there any viri (viruses, I guess) that might do this? I mean, yeah, I can spend an hour or two (I'm afraid it might be more, since things go all complicated on me all too quickly) getting back to running, but what the *{^ ( |<* happened?
I hope I'm off my rocker for the moment and no one ever sees this happen to them. Any ideas?
New development: I loaded up, started doing a few things I need to do manually (I like to do my AEBPlus, and have never been successful at imprting Phonealarm setting), and lo, I soft reset, and the boot screen stcuk. The red boot characters went away, but the button lights never turned on.
Can anyone tell me if I should be sending it in to PPCTechs, or might this be a ROM (or software????) issue.
Any input is welcome.
Have you tried hard reset? If yes and still unsuccessful, try re-flashing the ROM.
something similar happened to me once when i banged my phone on something..
all shortcuts / programs dissappeared...
i only had 2 options in start menu..
did a hard reset and everythign was restored
I have a problem with the htc hd 2, when you press the windows logo button on the bottom of the phone you jump to menu where all the icons are (such as installed programs icons and settings).
what happened is that all icons are missing except the today icon, how can
you bring all those icons back?
Also when you install a new program the phone doesn't make any icon in the menu. I have soft reset my phone with the reset button on the back but wouldn't work.
Can somebody help me with this problem?

I hope for your sake I'm wrong, but that sounds like a hard reset is needed, to me. Wait and see if anyone else has any suggestions, but that sounds quite a nasty problem.
I have got the same problem... any ideas how to fix it without hard reset?
I have two such icons .. HTC people and HTC calendar. It seems it has something to do with turning corresponding tabs off and on again.
Yes it would me nice to fix it without hard reset Any suggestions?
corresponding tabs off and on

How do you turn the corresponding tabs off and on?
Another thing hhen you go to the setting en press menu on the right corner then press more then nothing appears/happen?
Settins / personalize / home screen tabs
And I can confirm it .. first I had no such icons. Then I disabled calendar tab. Still nothing. Then I enabled calendar tab. And THC Calendar icon with no picture (only default one) showed up in the start menu. Now if I remove the tab, the icons gets removed too. But as I enable the tab again, icon is back.
Same for HTC People icon.
Only tweak I use which could have something to do with this enabling all settings icon in start menu (via BsB tweaks).

I see what you mean thanks for the effort, but with these icons the htc has no problems, its with icons you see when you press the windows logo button, its a long list with all the installed applications. In this screen they all disapeared except the today icon.
Some help from anybody would be very appreciated?
Hmmm
I had the same issue.
Flashed 1.48 over it.
Havn't had the problem since.
Check this dudes thread for additional/replacement icons...stunning stuff!

Updating rom solved the problem thanks for help me out!!
Any other solution available other then updating my ROM...cause it's already up-to-date.
I got this issue after a soft reset by BsB Tweaks.

Additional info:
- I'm using a Dutch ROM (so "\Windows\Startmenu\Program files" is called "\Windows\Startmenu\Programma's" )
- It happened after a soft reset after altering the Led Notifications/Message Notification setting
(I think the soft reset itself might have caused it)
- I have been moving startmenu items around using my ActiveSync connection
All I've found on the forum thus far is: Hard reset your device...but I really don't wanna.
Damn, it happened again. I'm stuck with just the Today icon again.
For a while I thought: leave it be. With Co0kie's Home Tab I can access all applications I need.
But I recently noticed that I cannot access my advanced settings screen either... and there's no shortcut for that.
Too bad, nobody came up with a solution that doesn't require a hard reset or ROM Update (which basically means the same: Clean slate).
Anyone?
Hello.
I need your help:
I downloaded one program where you move your finger to the left (or right) on home screen, 12 (or 16) squares pop up (where, I think, you have 3 different wallpapers, and 3 themes,...) and after setting one theme (I think the 3rd or 4th square on the top), I LOST MY HOMESCREEN and I can't find it
What do I do???
remove the programe u installed..an reset leo
I don't know where it installed
go to settings> application> remove programs then select the name of what you want to uninstall and click "remove"
soft reset when that's done
That's the problem...I don't have "settings" anymore...everything is gone It looks like the whole "sense" is gone and all its goodies...
what happens if you press the "start" hard key? does that bring anything up? If it does you can get to the settings from there
I'm looking at the thread i posted earlier and it seems I'm stuck on the 3rd screen, because I also have only "phone" and "contacts" on my two soft touch keys...I can't go back to my main screen and even when I uninstalled that program (which I only presume was the right one), it's still the same...
so it looks like you *may* have disabled sense? Easily re-enabled as long as we can find a way to get you to your settings... Have you tried the start hard key at all? Otherwise, then I'd suggest hard-reset as the easiest option unless someone else can come up with any other suggestions
Yes, my hard key works, but the whole "settings" are missing, when I click "settings" it comes up the same as it did before, when I clicked "tools"... I managed to find "remove programes", but even after deleting everything that might have affected my home screen, it still doesn't work...
hmmm then I don't know I'm afraid, you might want to wait for someone else to suggest something else or just go for a hard reset
Thanks anyway, I hope I won't have to hard reset...
"to get back to TF3D, you can MaxTTM and do a TRefresh or the usual manual way of activating your Today items" <---- how do I do that?
You should be able to cable to phone to your PC, then uninstall the problem app using activesync/WMDC. Not sure if you've already tried this?
forgive me if im not entirely getting what ure problem exactly is. take it sense is gone and you can't get at settings because the settings link in start menu only links to the sense page. if you install bsb tweaks found here on xda there is an option to show original settings in start menu. do this and soft reset if the program prompts. now you should have manilla settings and settings in your start menu. go to settings then today settings. then on the items tab check that sense and only sense is ticked. click ok and fingers crossed it should be back.
WORKING!!! Thanks to all of you!!
