15 Tab Icon Sets - Touch HD General

This thread is to share your 15 tab icon sets. I didnt create any of the icons, I just sized them and put them together in the manilla files (see my screenshot below). If you like them just run the cab on you HD.
** Update 12/6/2008 ***
Added a game systems icon set. These are icons of game consoles (NES, Dreamcast, Xbox, PS3 etc.) I will add a screenshot later. THey dont match up with anything specific to your phone function lol, just cool icons.
For icons that do not have a cab pelase follow TTDeg's advice for installing in the quote below:

This is some info I've picked up along the way, which MAY help anyone else thinking of playing here
First up - there are 2 manila files per icon.
I've called them Big and Small, just for ease of Ref
The Big one is the one which is displayed in the main 'window' of the phone as you drag over the tabs.
The Big one is displayed along the bottom of the screen
The Small one is displayed as you move your finger across the tabs, and is displayed 'in front' (over the top of) the Big one.
The Big ones are 128x128 pixels, and the Small ones seem to be 64x64 (but also seem to work if you use 128x128, so I need to dig further on that...) <<Mallman prefers 128x128 on both so the sizes dont change but that is just a preference>>
To use your new icons, you need to:
create them on your PC (Paintshop Pro or whatever)
convert them into manila files (Manila Editor for example)
Copy them to a seperate dir on the HD
Stop TF3D (Start, Settings, Today, Items [tab 2], untick TF3D)
Use a file explorer prog on the HD to copy them over the original manilas in the /windows dir. You can't do that from your PC, must be done on the HD itself.
Restart TF3D (reverse of above to stop it)
I strongly recommend you take a copy of the originals first, and put them somewhere safe
The 30 manila files are (in no particular order):

come on guys and gals, put together some sets of icons for mallman to install

Hi Mallman,
Slightly off topic could you tell me if you managed to modify your additional tabs to be duplicates of the "Program" tab?
I've not installed them yet as I'm trying to ascertain whether it is possible. What would be ideal (for me) is to have 3 or 4 additional "Program" tabs that could be renamed so that I could add my applications / settings / tools etc. (i.e something approaching the menu panel/s in sbp mobile shell).
Judging by your icons I think not, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
Let me know.
Cheers.

no sir, sure havent because i have absolutely no idea where to start If i were to try it I would simply copy the program tab and rename it to one of the other tabs but I dont know that it is that simple nor do I know if each tab is actually just 1 file. You should start a new thread dediacted to just that topic and have some folks brainstorm it. I will join in the fun

Ok, I think I'm up for this... *gulp*
I'll have a play, work out which pair relates to which tab, and see what I can come up with!
Watch this space (but please don't hold your breath - first attempt at this sort of thing, so might take a while...)

Cab in post #1 for this Linux icon set.

Now hang on one cotton picking minute!
Here's me, struggling to find some pretty icons, AND work out which manila file is which, AND get my head round manila editor (ok, fair play, that wan't tooo difficult ).
And while I'm doing that, here you are not only posting up set number 2, but mucking round with the backgrounds aswell
Talk about moving the goalposts!

LMAO, thank you I find it strangely addictive. I hope the work I have done is helping you. Simply unzip the files I have posted and you an "open path" with manil editor and see all the files and what they match up too in the TF3D interface. Get a good handle on it because I want to install some of your creations as we My goal is to completely overhaul all the graphics. Just takes lots of testing changes of manila files. Not hard, just time consuming

hmmm - this is harder than it looks! LOL
I'm having problems getting nice clean lines on the edges of my pics
What res are you saving them as before converting to manilas?
I went with creating a 128x128 pixel .png file
Dumped in the icon to pretty much fill it - which looks good at 1:1 view in paint shop pro, and saved that as the big version.
Then resized to 50%, pasted that into a new 128x128 .png, and saved that as the small version.
But when I convert to manila, then drag to my HD and restart TF3D, the icon in the tabflo looks good, the bigger verson (when you drag over it) just looks 'ok', and the biggest version (middle of the main screen) looks frankly pretty poor

I am using 128x128 exclusively. Some pics I get are not sized that way so I just change them in photoshop to 128x128. I also use PS to make transparency. Post a few screeners showing what you mean becuse im a little slow and having a hard time following what you are describing

my bad
My last step was to set the transparency, and the option I was using to go down to 256 colours was resulting in some jagged edges (couldn't see them in PS).
Working better now - will plow on now I know where I was going wrong LOL
cheers again!
I can confirm however that this isn't going to be up to production standards just yet...

Pretty close now...
mallman, could you please confirm the manila name for the small stock icon?
I've updated 34588a9a, but it's the only one which is still displaying the previous (std) icon instead of one of my new ones?

haha i know your pain. No i cant actually because i gave up tryign to figure it out when i finally just updated 4 manila files and of those 4 the icon was changed. i didnt feel like doing the research of replacing them again to figure out which actually did it. I resolved myself to just changing 4 files when i want to update the stock icon I know, im a slack ass but that is just how I roll

LOL!
ok.............

Thought I had it - but I don't.
small icons are 64x64, not 128x128.
And I thought I'd sussed which one was used in the main screen...
And my stock one was right up to the edge...
resized everything, dumped it all back in.
And now it looks worse - the background icons (small ones I think) are resized to bigger than my big ones.
and the stock STILL doesn't work right.
and it's midnight.
So I'm off to bed before I end up staying up till silly o'clock LOL

Hi.
Could those icons themes be used for the standard tabs?. I haven't installed the 15 tab set (well I tried, but I finally didn't like how it looks), so I keep the standard tabs.
I suppose that if I install those iconsets the new icon will appear in the standard tabs anyway....
Thanks.

yes (I think), and no...
I haven't tried, so I can't confirm that they will - but as I've been replacing the manila files left right and centre, of the 30 I've replaced, most of them gave a 'the file you are replacing is part of the ROM, are you sure?' message.
Which I take to mean that they are the ones used by standard TF3D.
The extra files just won't be used
I can't see any reason not to try it - but as ever, I would suggest taking a backup of the manila files you are about to replace, just in case

In the interim, whilst trying not to give into temptation to pull the rest of my hair out, this is some info I've picked up along the way, which MAY help anyone else thinking of playing here

WM5 Themes "Origami Suite" (ROM 2.17 or higher)

Have you ever taken a look at the gallery section over on www.origamiproject.com ? It's filled with a bunch of pretty nice-looking wallpapers for UMPCs, but UMPCs aren't available until much later, rendering these small wallpapers useless... until now. I've picked ten different images from that gallery and customized themes for each of them (creating eleven themes total). I also enhanced the themes to fit in with a somewhat universal layout for the today screen.
Keep in mind that these themes are designed for Wizard users with the latest Qtek ROM (2.17 or higher) installed! The reason I say this is because the date on the today screen takes up two lines in the newer ROM, and the today screen background reflects the position of the date bar. If you're confused, take a look at the previews below, you'll see what I mean.
Anyway, as I was saying before, each theme has carefully selected colors to best match their backgrounds, and all of them work in both portrait and landscape mode. I tried my hardest to smooth out the gradients that sometimes give problems on PPC screens. Oh, and I also thought of a cheezy name for each one. :wink: The previews along with a ZIP of all the themes are attached to this post, so go crazy. And if you haven't updated to the latest ROM yet, shame on you. Go do it, you won't regret it.
P.S. - If anybody knows how to skin the Phone screen (where you dial the number and everything), PLEASE let me know. It really, really clashes with a lot of these themes...
AND... if anybody knows how to make the date take up only one line, move the clock to the top, and put the battery back at the bottom, that would be amazing. That way I could re-make all these themes so that they could work with EVERYBODY that has a WM5 device!
very nice. just applied the first theme on my exec :lol:
Great job with the themes! I hope you are able to find out about skinning the phone screen and reducing the Date Bar to one line.
Beautiful yanathin! Thanks for putting the effort into these great themes.
very clean look you have going on there.
Are those icons along the bottom just regular shortcuts? If so I'm gonna have to look into how to do that myself.
great work!
Thanks for the compliments everybody! Yes, the bottom basically acts like SBSH iLauncher or SPB Pocket Plus's launcher. It's a single part of the PHM PowerToys ( http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/PowerToys/ ) called "TrayLaunch." You'd be utterly amazed at how fast this device runs WITHOUT SPB Pocket Plus installed, even without a "real" close button.
Amazing themes and even better work yanathin!!
Yes great work !
Thanks
Really nice ones, allready installed, thx !
change background dialpad
I haven't found a way to change the keys of the dialpad yet but i have a simple way to change the background of your dialpad in combination with plain darkgrey keys:
Download the attached file and run it on your mobile to get the darkgrey "keys" from Vodafone, these keys match best with whatever background you want to use:
(file is also at: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Misc/Vodafone_dialpad.zip)
Next you create in MS Paint / Photoshop or whatever program you like, two BMP image files with the following properties, you can use any file as background.
- name: "Bkgnd_Port.bmp" / resolution: 240x268 pixels (portrait)
- name: "Bkgnd_Land.bmp" / resolution: 320x188 pixels (landscape)
Copy these files to the \windows folder on your mobile and overwrite the existing vodafone skin.
After a soft-reset your dialpad has changed!
I changed mine to plain gray:
I love those themes!
for dialpad skins, take a look at http://www.zombienexus.net/
thanks for sharing. here's a link to some of my simple themes.

As far as i know it's a cab from German Vodafone. It works perfectly with my Dutch NL ROM, therefor i think it should also work with a WWE ROM because it just gets the language of the ROM-version.

Request - Phone Skin!

Guys,
Not sure which version has the phone skin as below but I know it is not the HTC or Vodafone. If possible can someone please dump and zip the relevant files for this skin if they have it (English version).
Just to add, I have tried to disable the operator skin but it then only gives me a 2D plain pad with no Video Button etc...
Many Thanks
There are some phone skins HERE in the wiki, however, I don't think the one your looking for is there...yet.
Thanks, I had already tried all the skins listed. I presume this one is the default "3D" WM5 phone Skin, not positive though. Most have replaced this with their own skin in the actual rom rather than external rom.
Someone must have this though, perhaps on Orange, 02 or Dopod version.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I think I got it all...

This is the default installed dialpad from the latest Hermes i-Mate ROM.
Hopefully I got every BMP and DLL file associated with this dialpad. I also exported the registry items associated with this dialpad.
Try this:
Unzip the files into the Windows directory on the Hermes, then import the included registry file.
Let me know if I missed anything.
Thanks Freshster,
After some persevering with copying the files over all looks fine except the VT Button, for some reason this is still the same as before despite the files being overwritten. I also have VCBtn.. and VTBtn.. files (may be due to previous installs. I have renamed your files to these, and copied them over, this changes the button but it is not perfect as there are pink corners visible and the is no text etc.. on it.
Also looks like the .dll that contains the Call History Icons overwrites the Icon that displays the "G" "U" in the top bar, I used to have 3G etc.. but now have "G" and "U".
Also, the Icons whilst in the Video page have not changed.
One more thing thing, the IntelliDialler small icons are not there either, on my v1650 they are in a file called "indialer_calltype.bmp", in fact need all the Intellidialler files..... as mine is all grey.
Have played for a while now but am at a loss, sorry.....
Any advise appreciated.
Greatly appreciate you time on this.

Hi cieplowsk,
I have attached ALL of the BMP files currently in the i-Mate ROM Windows directory. This should help you find which images you are missing.
I don't know if I can help you with the G and U problem, but these BMPs should help fix the VT Button, Video page, and Intellidialer icons.
Let me know how it goes.
Copying all the files, once I had removed non phone connected ones worked a treat, I now have the iMate Dialer which in my opinion is much nicer than the Vodafone and HTC ones....
The only thing left is for someone to butcher the .DLL`s to remove the Call History icons and stick them back in to the original Vodafone ones so that we can keep the 3G network icons rather than the U and G icons.
Oh and create a CAB file. Not asking much am I!
Thanks again for your time and effort!
Thanks. Just installed it too!
Cab would be great too.
One more thing I have just noticed, after changing the background on the phone pad, is thet the Video button and the other buttons on the Video Call page do not have transparent corners.
I have just spent a while editing the bmp`s and colouring the corners with colour R=255, G=0, B=255 (Magenta) in Corel Photo Paint (did not change the bmp format and it appears to be the same as the other bmps which are correct). When loaded the corners actually come out magenta rather than transparent. I guess I am missing something somewhere Any budding artists out there care to elighten me or have a go?
Cheers.
Hi cieplowski,
I had the same problem, but after adding the registry keys in the previous post it will work.
I've made a CAB file so you can install it in one go.
Cheers,
Drifter
Thanks Drifter,
Nice work but I think that there may be an isssue as when I install it does not skin the Video button at all, not sur if some files are missing from the cab. Have tried 3 times now.
Cheers!
Did you try a Soft Reset after installation?
CAB file seems to work with my HTC.
Cheers,
Drifter
Yeah several times, will try again later tonight. May be down to the fact I have the Vodafone version and the phone pad is in rom...
If I manually copy over the files it is ok.
On the other point re. the corners of the Video button, even if I import the reg. settings, then change the wallpaper to something lighter in colour the corners are not transparent, it you edit the .bmp files you can see that the corners on the video button are not transparent but filled in.
Cheers.

How did you create the CAB? What prog did you use?
It seems that you are missing some files in there, like the important DLL files listed in the registry settings. You have also included some unnecessary BMP files.
Thanks for your work.
Freshster,
I've used your second post with attachment to make this cab file.
But used the registry key from the first.
Now I see these dll file from the first and forgot to implement them in my cab file.
This could be the problem for cieplowski.
I will make a new one but should I use the first or second post?
I've use WinCE Cab manager for making these files

Hi Drifter,
Please find attached .zip with all the necessary files, I think. not sure if you know how but many of the .bmp`s are missing transparent corners.
You can see this if you view them as thumbnails or open them. This does cause a problem if you change the background from the default one supplied as some of the buttons no longer have nice rounded corners.
I have tried to edit them as mentioned above but have not been successful.
Can someone advise on what program to use to make these transparent and the process. I am happy to edit them all but just need to know the process.
Cheers.

This does look like all of the files necessary.
For the transparency problem I would take a look at the following link and make sure you are doing everything correctly:
http://buzzdev.net/component/option,com_simpleboard/Itemid,59/func,view/catid,36/id,5075/#5075
The two things that I would be sure of is:
1) the transparent color is : RGB=FF,00,FF (255,0,255)
2) you have to create buttons and background in bmp 8 bits 256 colors
Hope this helps, but the original files should have worked for you, not unless your ROM is looking for a different transparency color. Which ROM are you using? Can you post screenshots of the problem images?
Hi Freshter,
I cannot post anything at the moment as left my phone at the office. However if you have time could you change the Bkgnd_Land.bmp file to one much lighter in colour, hopefully you will then see that the corners are not transparent on the Video Call button (and all other vidoe related buttons). From what I can see using the supplied background just disguises these corners. If you open, for example, VTBtnDn_Port.BMP in any editor or viewer you will see that the corners are not transparent (magenta) in colour and they even have a gradient so cannot be transparent.
I am pretty sure the rom and all eles is ok, as the other files, which if examined will show the corners as a magenta colour and these are transparent on my phone, it is only all the Video related buttons which do not have the transparency on them.
I shall keep looking to see why my efforts were not successful in sorting the corners so far.
Cheeers.
Hope this explains things a little better.

If you open, for example, VTBtnDn_Port.BMP in any editor or viewer you will see that the corners are not transparent (magenta) in colour and they even have a gradient so cannot be transparent.
I am pretty sure the rom and all eles is ok, as the other files, which if examined will show the corners as a magenta colour and these are transparent on my phone, it is only all the Video related buttons which do not have the transparency on them.
I shall keep looking to see why my efforts were not successful in sorting the corners so far.
Cheeers.
Hope this explains things a little better.

I made the background lighter and I see what you mean now.
It seems that the Video buttons may have something to do with a resource dll, but I can't find which one it is.
Check out the following link; it shows how to fix the Video button on a MDA Pro, but our ROM doesn't contain the "phcanlrc.dll" or the "phcanprc.dll" files to modify.

This is something to really think about.
I guess you could just modify the BMP files to match your background, but that would be tedious.

Sprint Touch Cube Configuration Tool 4.1

Ok, I think this one is gonna need a sticky. I got sick of having to type in all of the shortcuts in the registry editor to change the cube, so I wrote this little spiffy app. It allows you to customize the 2 sides of the cube with shortcuts. Just make sure you know what you are doing as far as what can go where. Enjoy!
Version 1.1 - I got tired of waiting for the file browser to refresh everytime. Now you only have to wait for the first time, after that it is cached.
Version 1.2 - Added IconPress to the 6-App Side, and IconPlaying, IconPlayingPress, and IconPress to the 3-App side.
Version 2.0 - Added param for 6-App Side and 3-App Side. Added links to animation files. Added GUI for app selection for 3-App side and 6-App side.
Version 2.1 - Squashed the bugs that were coming up. Sorry I didn't test it enough before releasing.
Version 3.0 - Now supports multiple 6-App sides (See Polen's Vista Cube)!! Added reset to defaults. Automatic shortcut selector or browse for apps. Fixed the bug where the Program Files directory wasn't showing up in the Browse tree.
Version 4.0 - Added support for the iCube , animation configuring for newly added sides, export settings to .reg file, and icon image preview*.
*The icon image preview must be set up correctly to work. It all depends on the naming convention used. Polen's icon packs work with the preview. Since the .brn files cannot be rendered, a .bmp file must be placed in the directory with the .brn having the same filename or following Polen's naming convention (ex. ie.bmp -> ie_top.brn, ie_top_press.brn).
I tried testing it with the stock cube, Polen's 6 sided cube, and the iCube, but may not have caught everything, so if you find a bug, let me know!
SORRY!!! I left out a file from the .cab, it's all fixed now! Enjoy!
Version 4.1 - Fixed a bug in the export settings and the Save button was getting disabled.

Thanks for the App, works great.
difference between this and touch settings???
ok one question
when i make Icons. I save them as a BMP 24 bit, then i can just BMP to BRN and it will work?
also you just install CAB and go. Do you have to stop any processes before going. I guess i wont wait for Touch settings. This looks like it will work great???
just need to know if i need different icon sizes for the 3X2 and Media Hub????

Without wanting to detract from what you have done, you may also want to look at 'Touch Settings' which has this functionality already. (now works on the Vogue) See:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556 (main thread)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347892 (vogue support thread)
in your post though it said that you cant do Iocns yet on the sprint touch this one i believe if you just set the filepath you can!
also carlos kind of in response to my other thread in the vogue forum.
I was at my friends house playing w/ his sprint touch, downloaded some icons from my website, and put them on w/ this prog. I just saved files to the windows folder with BRN extension and it worked? Idk if it will w/ touch settings, but this one works for that purpose....
still not sure though if you need different size icons for mediahub..???
also still my question..... do you have to stop running the mediahub.exe or w/e the file is called before installilng this puppy?

As of yesterday's build Touch Settings can display / change Sprint (BRN) Icons. Simply tap the pictures to change.
great! ive heard so many great things about the touch settings program.. That i want to continue using it.
My question is are the pics still fuzzy when you use BMP to BRN. OR are they clear like sprint pre installed logo's.
my final question, and i know its been asked, can i use the 119 by the other dimension for both the 3X2 and Media Hub Screen?? What dimensions do i need? on the pics?
also i heard about Media hub not closing? is this true or is it fixed?
Would this work for the Bell Mobility version of the HTC Touch? (Canadian carrier, with a version of the Sprint vogue)
what i dont understand is th animation tab. I know how to make my own icons and stuff, my question is... like what is the animations brn?? What do i have to make for those. Do i need to change it?? I have all custom icons, does animations matter?

those are the images that are shown when changing from side to side. You don't have to change them, but you now have the option.
i c. So like if i make icon images... when i go to animations tab, i just say for image 1, run the path to my icon. Then i will be fine?? and it will turn w/ icon of choice... But there are only 6 icons???

What I'd really like to see is the ability to add QDail sides to the cube like you can with the Aplauncher. Has anyone got that working? I have more than 9 frequently called contacts and would love to have at least 2 sides of contacts - one for personal and one for business would be perfect.
But now that I've typed all this...I just realized that you didn't write the 6-sided cube app, right? I just integrates with yours....
I've been using the Touch Settings program from Carlos -- I'm anxious to see how this one works, too. Thanks to both of you for your hard work!

Yeah, I didn't write the 6-sided cube. I worked with Polen to make my app scale to the number of sides you have installed.

I played with your program yesterday (okay, let me be honest...I spent 20 hours in the past 24 hours making new cube graphics and drinking coffee until it was bleeding out my ears) and it's wonderful. In combination with the 6 sided cube it's a really great ap.
This may be from a total lack of sleep and the really nice caffiene buzz I've got going, but I'm a bit confused regarding the rotation anims and how to set them via the anim tab.
Is there a way to specify different transition graphics sets between sides 1&2, 2&3, and 3&4? It seems like the default is set to use C0-C5 for all rotations of the Launcher. Am I missing something? I was that the VistaCube program installed D0-D5 so manually created my own and added them to the Windows directory. My D series seems to be applied to those transitions eventhough the animations page shows C0-C5.
Is there a way to get to a drop down menu specifically for the extra sides or is this something that must be done manually? And in either case...how would I set it up to have separate anims for each of the different sides?
The main reason I ask is because I'm planning to use rather generic icons on my launcher pages so that I can swap out programs whenever I want without having to update the graphics on the cube. For example...I have an MP3 player icon that says "Music" on one page. I can assign that to Mort, or WMP, or anything else I want and not worry about the icon. That allows me to put the icons into the rotation graphics so it's a smooth transition and I don't see the "flash" when the app icons load on top of an otherwise different background.
Whew...long-ass question for something so simple. Any help would be appreciated!

Did you ever figure out a way to add another contact side to the cube?
I just installed the CubeConfig3.0.CAB
In the usual screen that says successfully installed and if you need more room... It is followed by a message I have not seen yet:
The program you have installed may not display properly because it was designed for a previous version of Windows Mobile software.
FYI
EDIT: I'm running the unmodified WM6 on a Bell CDMA Touch (Vogue - 128MB RAM/256 MB ROM)
Hmm I never got that one.... I'm running the exact same phone as you, MM.

WIP - Honeycomb mod

I decided to make a small change to WM6.5 Honeycomb, make it like a list.
I didn´t like the old style menu either the ney Honeycomb, so here it is the new one.
I resized the icons to 64x64 px, justo to gain memory
next thing is to make the active png and the selected png, as i dont know how to work in images i need to ask a friend to do.
here is a SS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=169340&stc=1&d=1237852598

that is the message he wrote in the topic.
so that means he has a 6.5 beta rom with the honeycomb
he also says he doesnt like wm6.1 AND 6.5 style menu so he made a new one that doesnt look like a honeycomb and doesnt look like the old 6.1 style
Vertical List Menu with Blue select
I got sick of honeycomb and found this thread. I wanted my menu to match NRG's latest rom better so I whipped this up.
Unzip files to \windows\
Could you make the same Start Menu for Landscape?
so many things to do at work, that i forgot this...sorry guys.
this is very easy to make, and the landscape, its possible too.
this week im gona finish this, make the selected and the pressed icon, and the landscape.
is there any way to get like the startmenu to have the icons in a straight row insted, like the program tab in touchflow? that would be cool! since i never use the program tab and i dont rly like the honeycomd, how they put the icons! would be better with straight rows insted. would it be possible?
is it good for wm6.1 Diamond???
i also wana replace my start menu..

This post is for all of those out there who don't know how or are too lazy to move the files provided in this thread to their windows folder!
I have attached 5 .cabs below, none of which have i claimed rights or any ownership. These are made/owned by JMRRJMRR and mslug, all i have done is put the files into .cabs for us lazy-asses...
The cabs are as follows:
-"JMRRJMRR - WIP Honeycomb mod.cab" is JMRRJMRR's original posted files put into .cab
-"JMRRJMRR no icons.cab" is JMRRJMRR's original files minus the altered icons
-"JMRRJMRR pack with mslug blue bar.cab" is JMRRJMRR's files but with mslug's blue bar added
-"mslug - Blue List Start Menu.cab" is mslug's original posted files put into a .cab
-"Unforseen Honey.cab" is my own mix of clear bars and landscape support added
AGAIN use at your own risk and none of the files are mine! give your thanks/props/whatever you call it to the original owners (JMRRJMRR & mslug)
thank you, exelente work.

[Beta App] Sort the WM 6.5 Start Menu

Out of Beta -- Find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584923
WHAT DOES IT DO
WM65StartSort is a utility to sort your Windows Mobile 6.5 start menu. It's designed to be used with the newer versions of 6.5 (such as 23075 or above). It will scan both your registry and your file path and attempt to create an accurate sort.
There aren't a lot of options yet, but it does sort files before folders and is smart enough to handle the HOME link properly.
Requirements
Must be running a WM 6.5.1 build (tested with 23075)
Must have the developement cert installed.
For right now, just uncompress the archive and copy the executable to your device. Once it leave's beta I'll take the time to cab it up.
[reserved for later]
[no first posts for you]
this is a good idea. I like the new sense roms but really miss the old HOME or even PROGRAMS tabs (9 icons on the home tab is ridiculously low). with 6.5 its just a jumbled mess (feels like such a step back to me) that I dont even know what ive got installed. things i would love to see:
The ability to create folders then drag icons into folders
The ability to lay it out better - change from 3-5 icons per row, to NOT have Hexagon but look like PROGRAM tab etc
Good luck!
Yea, the second shot up there is my own custom start menu based off of the work someone did here for the Ralph. I hate the grid menu and think it works much better this way. If enough people want that I'll attach that as well.
Joe, any update?
Nope, I've been swamped at work. The app seems to be working pretty well. I just need create a .CAB.

the first has been possible since WM 6.1 (maybe earlier but i never had one)
just take the explorer to the windows\start menu folder on your device. there you can create folders and move items to any desired folder, sorting has to be done manually by the bring to top option in the start menu itself.
(or if you use 6.5.1 you couldd try the program above to sort i believe)
Hi
I have tested it with 6.5.1 and it works very well. however, it does not work with 6.5?

there are multiple ways to up the hometab shortcuts from 9 to 12,16 or 20. it has some bugs but i mean common it's not even supposed to be on this phone. btw way you should know what you have installed because umm you installed it
the second thing about the start menu is very much possible.
