I'm not completely sure if this will work with WM5 but if you go into your file explorer with your PDA and then navigate to Windows\StartMenu , you'll find each of the shortcuts displayed in the start menu.

Have you tried going into Settings>Remove Programs(or whatever its called for WM5) and removing anything you've installed associated with the dialer and then trying again?

2. I suggest if nothing works for you then try install Schapps Advance Configuration and enable phone skin. Remove all custom dialers before trying this tweak.
1. Go to Settings>Personal>Menus. Check where the those items are unticked. (This is as per as WM6.)
thanks for your effort guys but these items do not exist any more in SETTINGS--PERSONAL--MENUS
I have picked up a bookmark from the favourites menu and pasted it in the start menu with this i am now able to open internet explorer.
for messaging i have enabled it on the today screen with SETTINGS--PERSONAL--TODAY--ITEMS AND CHECKED MESSAGING
but there are no icons for calculator and notes
Ok..normally Menus is a Windows inbuilt program.
Anyways use a file manager like Total Commander and go to /Windows.
There you would find calculator.exe and notes.exe. Create shortcuts and post it wherever u want.
Hi all,
I have dutty's latest rom installed, and I decided I wanted extra calendar appointments on my home screen. So I *fistly* Installed "Compact Homescreen - Autohide Call history, dynamic appointment list" from hallatore from this page, then "Homescreen HD - Tore edition" from the same page because I wanted my wallpaper back.
Now, every time I tap the clock to go to my alarm, TouchFlo resets, and tapping calendar entry's goes to the old style calendar.
PLEASE HELP. All I wanted was some extra appointments on my home screen, and a dynamic 'Missed Calls' bar. I've cocked it right up.
.
The cab files seem to include the following:
00000cab.000
1C684C~1.001 = 1c684cd8_manila
25D044~1.002 = 25d04412_manila
2A0AC4~1.003 = 2a0ac464_manila
_setup.xml
Is there any way I can reset these to how they were?
Maybe if someone can copy these files from thier "Dutty HD V3.7 XT Final" rom for me, I can overwrite them in the windows folder... Would that work?
.
.
.
PLEASE!
PLEASE!
Can anyone who has Dutty's latest rom installed, please copy the following 3 files from the windows directory for me!
1c684cd8_manila
25d04412_manila
2a0ac464_manila
PLEASE! I need them back to normal.
.
Here are the 3 files.
They are copied from Duttys 3.7 XT Final with Manila 2.1.
Please press start, and count the number of icons available on the start menu.
If there are 30 slots, you're on Manila 2.1. If there are 24 slots, you're on Manila 2.0.
Please only use these files if you are on Manila 2.1. I don't know how they will work on Manila 2.0.
Edit:
If you go to settings tab -> all settings -> System tab -> Remove programs, don't you have the option to uninstall the two cabs you installed?
This should set your system back to normal.

Thanks for that Royan. It doesn't seem to have made a difference though. Now I'm thinking it's made some registry changes I don't know about.
Can someone check to see what registry entries the attached cabs have changed, and what they should be.
I feel such a fool. I'd just got the phone to a state that I could live with. I'm so annoyed at myself for trying to change it.
.
Both files do exactly the same, and that is installing the above mentioned files to the windows folder.
There are no registry changes made.
The way it looks, is that the second file you install will overwrite the changes made by the first file you install.
If you try to uninstall from remove programs, the system should be back to normal.
If that doesn't work, try removing the files and soft reset.
Soft resetting after removing the files, should restore them from ROM.
Last attempt, if that doesn't work, is hard reset. However, that will wipe the phone, so get a backup of all data you want to keep!
PIMBackup is a good program to save PIM data such as call history, SMS messages, contacts, appointments etc. You can find it by searching this forum.
Good luck

I've tried uninstalling, but the uninstaller claims it can't do it, then asks me if I want to remove it from the list, which it can't do even if I press yes.
I really don't fancy doing a hard reset, I've spent the last week setting it right up.
There must be a registry entry somewhere that tells it what to do when you tap the clock, it used to go to that lovely new alarm screen.
Also, what did the new rom do when you clicked a calendar entry on the home screen? Did it go to the new style calendar? I can't remember. It's currently going to the old style microsoft pap.

Sorry, I don't know which it might be.

New style...
Did you try deleting the files with Total Commander ( not regular file explorer), and soft-resetting?
Actually, try renaming then to *.bak instead of deleting (just in case... )

I renamed them using Resco and did a soft reset as you said, but I'm now thinking it's not those files. The installation must have changed something else.
Damn it.
.
The installation of the two cabs did not do anything anything other than installing the three manila files.
I've opened the packages in CAB Manager, and I did not see anything else.
If the problem is not the specific files, then it must have been something else you installed.
Maybe try to uninstall one and one program, soft-resetting after each, and see what (if any) fixes the problem.
If nothing helps, I'm afraid a hard reset is your only option.
Look on the positive side, If you spent a week customizing your phone, you know what you did. It shouldn't take you more than an hour or three to get all it back.

2 hours later and...
Hard Reset - Done.
Reinstalled everything, resynced, re-setup my emails, put all my favourtites back, all that's left is to remap my contacts with thier facebook selves and I'm done.
NEVER DOING THAT AGAIN...
Unless someone knows how to get more appointments on the home screen on Dutty 3.7 XT...
Congratulations!?!?
Good that you're back to a working device.
Just sorry that it took a heard reset to do it.

thanks, i did do a search and the reg edits didn't work, but eventually i figured out the problem, another program was still messing with it, had to uninstall it
I Installed Resco File explorer and when trying to add registry add in it tried to install a theme file (.tsk) which opened the today management screen (where you can select different themes and select whats on the desktop.
Click the desktop tab (whats displayed on homescreen) and deselect HTC Sense then just tick what you want. At the top is the default windows mobile 6.5 homescreen plugin then all the program addons follow like co-pilot, mail, calendar etc then htc sense. Just choose your flavor..
I'm working at the moment but I'll try and elaborate more later, need to find a screenshot app first for pics.
Put any .tsk file on phone and run from explorer (Resco or otherwise) and the theme screen will show, select your pref (note you can not have HTC SENSE, Windows 6.5 Plugin enabled together, but plugins like calendar etc can without the aforementioned.
Hope this helps someone. (All HTC themed menu's n progs get disabled on deselecting HTC Sense but return on reselecting).

Or... click on Start/Settings/Menu/All Settings/Today/Items to access the menu you are talking about.
Sorry, have seen loads of people ask about this. Only had my phone around 4 hours. Just trying to help and do my bit. Mods you can close this thread. Sorry once again.
Hey, don't take it so personally! I wasn't putting you down in any way.
Keep posting what you find, I'm sure there is plenty more to discover with this phone.
Thanks mate.
Really loving it. Hope to contribute more once fully dissected. lol..
Having only had my HD2 for less than a week, I've still managed to install a ton of apps and also tweaked a lot of the settings. Today, however, I wanted to try out SPB Mobile Shell so tried to install the demo. Nearing the end of the install, my HD2 started flashing up 'running short of memory' issues and in the end I had to cancel the install. The problem is that it seems to have partly installed SPB Mobile Shell and it's taken me a while to get back to nearly where I was.
Thankfully I did a full backup before starting the SPB Mobile Shell install, so I did a hard reset and restored the backup. Virtually everything is back to normal, but there is still one part that is odd. When I press the Start button, all I get is a blank screen with just the taskbar (and relevant icons), my wallpaper and a 'Today' icon. If I press Today, I get taken back to my normal today screen with clock and quicklinks.
I've checked Windows/Start Menu/Programs and all of the shortcuts, etc are in there. I think it may be something to do with SPB Mobile Shell and so I went to try to look at the Windows Mobile settings. I can't do the Start - Settings - All Settings route (due to the lack of icons as described above), but if I go into the 'Settings.lnk' file through Resco Explorer, I can get into Manila Settings. However when I then choose Menu - All Settings, it just remains on the Manila Settings page and doesn't open up the Windows Mobile settings page.
Can anyone shed any light as to what is going on ?
I've got a couple of options:
1. If I can somehow get into Windows Mobile Settings page, I may be able to fix this. Is there a shortcut or executable that I can access through Resco Explorer.
2. Do another hard reset and reinstall everything again. Does anyone know of an app that will list out all the programs I've got installed ??
Any help greatly appreciated !
Thanks
maybe u have installed the program secondtoday for switching between spb and manila? the page u get after the softreset is the default windows today screen..
u can use bsbtweaks for example to put a shortcut of the wm settings to the startmenu...
all programs u have installed are listed under settings/system/remove programs...
