Enlarge Start Menu Problems. [not too urgent] - Touch GSM General

I have a slight problem in that every time I install new programs nowadays, I end up loosing the enlarged start menu (the one you can download here from the all htc cabs thread) and its a bit annoying.
Its not a desperate issue, im gonna fix it by eventually getting to the point where im happy with what ive got on there, wont need to install anything else and will install enlarge start menu last.
I have an Elfin running Tabish's ROM (v3.3.6.1) which i must say is chuffing fantastic, but i have had this issue on other roms too.
Anyone else experienced anything else like this?

VJBigPhone, T-Mobile Videobutton on MDAPro

Hi all,
I am aware about all the other threads but yet could not get across some nonsense on my MDA Pro.
I went back to the t-Mobile ROM because of german support on many features but running ozVGA now successfully with two exceptions:
1. Each time I reset the device, I have to reinstall vjbigphone (0.91) and re-run the .exe to get my dialer back to full screen. VJ did a real got job, but I hope anyone coud tell me, what could be wrong?
2. Does anyone know, how to get rid of the stupid and ugly video-button in the t-mobile dialer? I replaced all BMPs with the one's from iMate, but yet video is the stupid grey. flat button.
Once this is solved, I will write down exactly how to get really the tiny machine running with the best tools for best results.
Greetings

ndee: why do you have to re-install the app?
After a soft reset, what happens when you choose the "load and fix" option from the tray?
I am hoping to spend some time on this app over the next few days. Many apps being fixed, one a at time...

Hi Vijay,
when I softreset, everything on the phone is back to the tiny layout. Even though I "load and fix".
Only workaraound I figured out is reinstall :-(
ndee
Strange - I know we spoke about this before, but then, after you re-install it works?
Have you tried not loading VJBigPhone, soft reset, load the phone (eg press green key, so you can see Tiny buttons) and then load VJBigPhone. Does that make any difference? Re-installing shouldn't make any difference, it doesn't load any settings etc from the registry etc...

I have some similiar problems. I'm using also the neweset german ROM on my MDA Pro and after a soft reset I don't have to reinstall the app, but I have to close it and restart it again to gain access to the phone application. Without close VJBigPhone nothing happens, after starting the application again everything works fine (till the next soft reset, which happens every morning after the daily backup)
Wolfgang
I have an idea what might be the problem then.
The code was modified a while back to try to find the "phone" program without you having to specify the name in your own language (eg "telefon" instead of "phone"). However, it's possible that if the phone isn't found, it's getting confused. I'll try to look at the code again soon.
I'm not writing any new programs for a while while I do updates to all the old stuff
V
out of sudden, I dont need to reinstall anymore. Just after reset, I run vjbigphoneres and phone comes up full screen. Dont know what I did and how long it will last - keep you informed though - thx so far.
Any solution for the ugly video button of TM insight?
ndee
TM Button: I know you've spoken about it for a while, but I've got no experience of it, I don't really use my Universal I think someone (you?) posted one before, but could you send me a screenshot if you've got appropriate software, and if you have them, a zip of your extended rom?

M2D Worth it Or Not!

Ok so I have installed M2D from the beginning and got it working....kind of.... I have a lot of questions about it but I love how fast it works. But everytime I close a program and go back to my home screen it says "TOUCH HERE TO LAUNCH TOUCHFLO". With having to wait for this to load every time I close something I don't think it is worth installing anymore. If anyone can tell me how to have it loaded from when I accept it the Today menu instead of having to keep loading it. THis is a major deal breaker. Does anyone else have any feedback on M2D?
I had the same problem. I uninstalled it now.
sometimes it happens with me to, but maybe it closes automaticly when you run out of RAM? so you have to free up ram by closing other programs?
That happened to me until I installed Update 13. Now it only does that when the phone is booting up. After that any program I close brings me to the Today Screen automatically without giving me the Loading Touchflo prompt.
I followed the instructions and it works wonderfully me, I have no problem with m2d, is perfect in my sprint touch
Can you guys help me find this?

Where is this? I want to try installing from the beginning.
may be because of still developement is going on some glitches here and there. once opal is officially released it may solve all the problems.. we hope so.. as of now i have uninstalled it..
I am waiting for someone to hack the heck out of it to make it MUCH smaller, and more flexible (e.g., use other apps that default HTC ones).
But it sure is slick!
Hi
I'm not sure if I misunderstood something with the early M2D versions, but is it (still) true, that installing M2D will disable every other today plugin? I have phoneAlarm running and wouldn't like to have to scrap that.
Do you know where to get update 1 thru 4?
Amazing progress for WM
Hey, I installed everything that was in those instruction folders made few resets and turn off the cube. And now everything works perfectly including longer battery charge and much much faster phone performance... I am using Sprint HTC Touch
Does anybody know of why this won't work on non HTC devices? I tried installing it on my Samsung i760. It installed no prob, but when loading, it keeps saying "TOUCH HERE TO LAUNCH TOUFLO" and nothing.
Its probably something to do with the drivers Im guessing.
Any ideas? it looks like an awesome interface and it would great to see this running on any WM6.1 device.
Which files to install on a standard ROM

Looking for help with Manilla2D. Device running EXTREMLY slow =(

Well I did 2 hard resets to see if Manilla2D was the problem and i'm using just that and the stock sprint 6.1 ROM and all of a sudden im having a couple annoying problems and wondering if there is any fixes to them.
- When I click on a Text Message from the main screen and it brings up the threaded texting, when im using XT9 and I start typing it will type as if im holding down the letters like if I press the "as" button "?" will come up, and for me to type normal i have to go to Start>Programs>Messaging, which is really annoying lol.
- Another one is im using the TouchFlo2D Dialer, if i switch to keypad from call status the whole phone freezes up and i have to soft reset
- everytime i restart my touch i get a startkey.exe error and i just hit dont send and start up touchflo.
- last problem/bug that i can remember is that my phone is really really slow and i have nothing on it except manilla2d.
these are the steps i did to install manilla 2D idk if it will help solve my problem:
copied the "EMPTY" biotouch.exe and 3 other files I got from XDA and put them in the "Windows" folder, then used resco registry editor and disabled the cube, then installed all the cabs for Manilla2D to my "Device" not storage card, (it asked me to soft reset after some of them, but i didnt since i was going to soft reset after i finished installing them all.) then soft reseted and manilla2d works just is really laggy =(
any help would be greatly appreciated! thank you in advance =D
I had the same problem with my phone running extremely slow whenever i tried installing manila 2d on my phone through the cab installs. I flashed to a custom rom with manila 2d built in it and the problems went away. It runs extremely smooth now.
ive never flashed my phone and only way i would do it if i had someone walk me through it as im doing it=\
How did you get the 6.1 ROM? You would flash it the same way as you did that one.
i just installed it from the htc site or whatever, but for custom roms dont you have to do all that unlocking and what not?

It's not terribly hard - in fact, the unlocking process is very similar to how you flashed the official ROM update.
Just use COKE's unlocker (just an app like the flasher) and install any custom ROM you want
this slowness has happened to me with a custom rom, i think its manilla.
it was very wierd, overall the entire OS was mega slow and un-usable as the OP said
I found what works best for me is piecing everything. I took everything from Update 19 except M2D-Beta-x.xx(Update19).cab. I installed M2D-Beta-x.xx(Update 15).cab (anything after made my device slow). I installed the latest version of Opera.
(sorry for the dots I'm just looking at them on my phonenand it's not showing all of the titles on some.)
First I ran:
HTC.home.v2.1.1005.722.directory.and.......... .cab
So From 19:
Enchasement..outlook.and.picture...... .cab
Audio Manager_2.0_1819.2129.cab
FSP, DShow, WMP, Youtube, Video Fixes.cab
Album_2.0_1818.3829.4.cab
Task_Manager_2.1 34837.5.cab
GoogleMaps_compressed.cab
HTC_Opera9.5.2392_www.cab(This is not from 19 Found it in another thread)
YouTubeQVGA1_5_1819_1531.and.mhubVO.cab
From Update 15:
M2D-Beta-0.08(Update 15).cab
Good Extras:
digital clock
Ringtone_plugin_1.00.080416.2.cab
Volume_control.cab
UI Tweaker
If you need this packaged let me know.
Great manilla2d rom
Hey guys.
If your looking for a good, fast, stable rom with manilla29 PLEASE flash this rom..............
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432487
NFSFAN has spent lots of time on this and is by far THE BEST manilla2d rom there is out there. He is constantly update bugs and getting the fixes out as soon as possible. This is the closest thing you can get to the diamond/touch pro without buying one. Any questions please feel free to ask BUT READ ALL DIRECTIONS ON FLASHING IF YOU HAVE NOT YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to second that.
I used to have the stock Bell 3.09.666.10 ROM, with (my last incarnation) update 21. To get all the parts of M2D running (yuotube etc) you have to install alot of patches and tweaks.
My theory has always been, if you have to add too many parts to get something to work, maybe you should start over. Google "Beech 1900D" to see how this applies to aircraft!! A custom ROM with everyhting cooked in oem style runs much better than a Frankenstien special.
It is fun trying to get everything to work though.
When I first added M2D to my device it was extremely slow. After playing around for a while I found that the page pool played a huge roll in the speed of the rom. My page pool is set at 24 and I have no problems at all. I have had no problems with NFSFAN's roms. I believe the PP is already set to 24. Hope this helps.

Sony ericsson panel add speed dial bugs

Does anyone have this problem?
i've had my phone for about a month now, never use sony ericsson panel that much except when im using wifi, and yesterday i just notice a bug on it.
Go to options (bottom right) then go to the launcher tab. Whenever im trying to add a speed dial the screen would just shows that error reporting thing saying that paneloption.exe has encountered a problem or something.
Is this a bug?
i never use the speed dial thing, so it shouldnt really be a problem...im just curious to know the cause...
so far the software that i have installed are :
all the panels
Slick
Xperia tweak
HTC enlarge start menu
Garmin Mobile XTSchaaps advance configuration tools
any of those might be conflicting?
Something seems to be wrong with your phone but I can't say what it is.
The speed-dial is working without problems on my phone.
I use Xperia Tweak and HTC enlarge start menu too so these should not be conflicting.
Have you updated your firmware to R2A?
Maybe that would be a possible solution and it's always better running the latest software.
yeaa...
Its not that important of a problem, im just crious to find the answer.
I've never touch that area before (Speed dial in the launcher thing) and i was just surprised to see that it just gave me an error report thing.
Im still running the R1A, im still a bit affraid to try any custom ROM..
although itje's ROM might be tempting me in the future..
Just a quick question though, do i lose all my contacts, program, information etc when i upgrade my ROM to R2A?
and im still running the old schaap advance config tool 2.0.2.0, might that be the problem? i'll try to update it later...

You lose everything on the phone's memory when flashing to a new ROM.
All the things and programs on the storage card will still be there but you will have to make new links to the windows programs folder.
cheers mate...thanks for that...
i notice someone else is having same problem as me on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=477611&page=2
maybe its just some bugs that sony needs to kinks out...but i doubt they'll do it cause they seems to abandon the panels thing now

Can someone help me pleeze?

Ok so i just bought my new HD2 Just arrived last week, And Yah its freezing like most are, I have heard numerous fixes to this I guess flashing Roms or installing apps. I dont know if this thread is in the right category, but can someone help me fix the phone so it doesnt freeze everyday when i use texts and run smoother overall? I dont know how to flash roms or tweak any of these replies can someone help me please? I tried Custom window home tabs app but it got rid of the home screen so i took it out.. please someone help me .... i have yahoo, aim and msn messenger email or just reply on here ? thanks guys
try HR-hard reset.
1.turn your phone off
2.press and hold volume up&down buttons same time and turn your phone on
it will reset and restore it to the factory settings
This should help
I was in the same position 4 months ago... it's a steep learning curve!
In no particular order:
1. Get your phone and PC hooked up with activesync.
2. Learn how '.cab' files work - you basically just transfer them to your phone (I use activesync) and run them to install various things.
3. Get Resco Registry - this is a registry explorer which I find very intuitive and useful for changing registry values.
4. Have a look around this site, notably the tweaks threads, and see what you like.
5. When you are comfortable with the handset, look into upgrading your ROM. I started on Vodafone 1.43 ROM, but have since upgraded to Vodafone 1.66 ROM. It is very easy to upgrade to official ROMs (at least it was for Vodafone) - I image the manufacturers will give you a step-by-step guide.
6. Get Cookie's Home Tab!
Can you tell what ROM/Radio/Manila version you are currently on?
(Go to settings/about phone/software information)

I don't know where you got the idea that most phones are freezing, because if that was the issue this phone would not be nearly as popular as it is.
* If you got the phone from your provider go to them.
* Try a hard reset, make no changes (tweaks, software installs) and see if the problem is gone. If so then something you did is causing the problem.
* Find a stable ROM in the development forum and learn to flash, it's very easy.
