Start menu amount of icons WM 6.5 back to 3? - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

On my diamond im using the energy ROM. The icons in the start menu have 4 wide.
Does anyone know how I can get this back down to 3? Iv searched, and cant find anything.
Thanks for your time,

OK There are 3 ways to do this. 1. You can edit the start menu CPR files (not all that easy) 2. Flash a rom that has 3 icons wide, Go into windows folder and copy the cpr files from there to your desktop or sd card and then flash back to your prefered rom and then copy the cpr files to windows and pwr cycle. 3. Post in the rom thread and see if the cook has the 3 icon cpr files and then copy to windows

If you hit search and then introduce start menu WM 6.5 3 rows you get several choices, for example:

Where is the Vogue stock alarm exe?

Hey all,
I'm using Lakeridge's WAD and WA3 and I can't seem to find the exe for the stock alarm on my Touch/Vogue.
Any idea where it is so I can link on my phone's desktop?
Thanks.

It's called "clock.exe", located under the Windows directory. Typically, all your basic apps, or anything preinstalled, will be found here.
Thanks, Champ.

No prob ! If you spend about 20 min to search through the windows directory and look at all the image and .exe files there, you'll get a better idea of where most things are.
On the subject of stock exe's. Does anyone know what the exe is to bring up the main windows mobile settings?... the settings that launch through the start menu.
Before the 6.1 update I linked to htcsettings.exe. I've searched all over this phone and I can't find it now.

Having some Q and ned help !!!

1-what is ROM ?
2-if it put tf3d rom or another it will delete all files in the system ( like hard reset ) ?
3-is tf3d is like a panel ( spb mobile shell ) or will delete windows mobile system?
4-what is GeoTagging in camera ?
thanks
From what ive gathered by using roms my self... i have found the following:
1. What is a rom?
it is basically the thing that make the user interface look the way it looks. The default windows today panel is the default rom which the phone comes with. TF3D rom will replace that and make it look like a HTC Touch HD. you can install it as a panel by following this link-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441439&highlight=tf3d+panel
Download TouchFlo3D on Xperia X1 cab and TouchFlo3D as Panel Installer Installer.
Install TF3d first, softreset, then go to settings, today, items and untick every thing. then soft reset.
Now install TF3d panel installer. soft reset. then just choose the panelas younormally would.
2. A rom will edit certain windows files to make it look and behave in a different way, but it would still be the windows interface. if you install another rom, it will erase all files on phone. and replace certain windows files.
3. see q 1
4. Dont know what geo tagging is??
thanks alot
but when i install the tochflo 3d beta 3 and made everything then when i press on the panel it writes to me loading in a white screen and notheing occure ??

Binary Clock for Touch Diamond

Hey folks
i have a request, i saw there is a kick ass binary clock for the prophet that looks like that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1861193 The Uber Binary Clock
i have a dutty rom installed, and i'm using touchflow 3d with the wm 6.1 installed, would there be a possibility that someone can make a clock for my phone too? =)
color in limegreen would be the end**** muuah
thanks in advance maybe there is one who want to give it a shot
cheers
rob
i used this clock for a while..
its made with chi tai's "homescreen" today plugin.
its just a theme for this handy tool.
some dudes were really amazed about me getting the time from some dots
I think it is possible and simple to get it on TF3D, I will try it, when I will have a little bit time for it.

If you could direct me to the software I would need I will look into it and try to do this myself. I love the idea.
Here it is:
1) disable manila
2) backup the files with names in enclosed zip file (backup original clocks)
3) copy and replace files from enclosed zip file to \windows
4) enable manila
hello vphk,
i just tried out your manila files, but instead of binary clock there were pink numbers on the home screen?
am i doing something wrong?:
i disabled TF3D - was overwriting the 6 files - reaktivated TF3D again ... and failed
greetings stizn
Sorry I dont know, where is a problem. Maybe different manila version.
Now I am using Rhodium port from Xbmod.
Does anybody have the same problem or is here anybody, who has not problem with binary clock ?
Now I have tried to download posted files and everything is OK, I checked it with manila editor.
Pink numbers - it looks that you have branded T-Mobile ROM isn't it ?
now, i'm confused, i checked your posted files yesterday with the manila editor 0.2 and they were blank?
What am i doing wrong?
greets stizn
Hi,
I tried it now (download) for the second time and still is everything OK.
I used manila editor v 0.2 too. There are only 2 file blank - it is background for clock.
So I am confused too
when i downloaded it again today it worked... thanks a lot for this clock
greets stizn

help..... how to dump my hd2 rom so I can flash it later. so everything stay the same and I don't have to install all cabs again and setting. I'm a noob, I'm also trying to find out how to make my own clock and icons. thanks

Check the Energy ROM thread. There is some talk of it in post #5.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591784
i did it with my o2 rom just to see how to do it, but in all honesty i won't be doing it again. No point when the rom is available to download, and it doesnt save settings anyway. Ive posted teh how-to just because you asked about 'dumping the rom' so it will no doubt get hits from epople wanting to know how, and not just people like you wanting to backup, not dump.
dump the .raw partitions, reading step one in THIS first post will help.
Then set up ervius visual kitchen and use the 'raws2nbh' function to rebuild the raw files into the .nbh rom file.
BUT, it wont save your rom as it is now, with all your settings and such, it will only dump the rom as it was when you first ran the phone.
Far easier to just download the stock rom from somewhere.
Plus the rom you create even though it is stock will still be seen as a cooked rom by teh phone, so you would need hspl installed to flash it.
So, you need to look more into backup software, like sprite backup, PIm backup, or sashimi/makisu, or the like.
thanks very much. I guess I stick with backing up the settings and flashing the stock rom... thanks for the feedback again... ps: the point was to have the rom just how out was when dumped...

Yea, i know what you mean.
I found a cooked rom that i liked, and the chef also offered the kitchen with it. (which means i run the kitchen, press 'build' and fifteen minutes later the rom is created, ready to flash.)
Then, knowing i have a rom that i already like, i can start to make small adjustments. Progs that i normally have to reinstal every time i have converted to cookable packages, various registry tweaks that i used to instal from cab every time i have now cooked in.
A great way to get an easy intro into cooking, but because it's already built you aren't starting from a stock rom, facing weeks of tweaks. Instead i know i already like the rom, and i can slowly apply extra tweaks as i learn.
Look out for rom threads who offer 'comes with kitchen'.
ChuckyROM is the one that comes to mind, but there are others too.
I now have cookies home tab mod pre installed, and right from the start it has my layout, and all my quicklinks already there, as well as most of teh cabs i used to instal manually already built in, owner name pre set, home location/timezone etc etc all pre set, my own lockscreen, i've removed tons of unused images and language files, and such like.
My rom is down to around 145MB. (Stock is around 200MB+).
Best of all, i cooked in 'remotetracker', so if my phone gets stolen/lost, , even a hard reset wont stop it being trackable.
Fun stuff, if you dont mind spending a few hours at a time cooking/flashing/re-cooking/flashing/re-re-cooking, , , hehe

well its not that simple. when a chef cooks the rom, it is usually protected, so you cant just dump a cooked rom. Thats why you have to get a pre built kitchen for that rom.
Sadly there is no simple step by step for all this.
THIS thread is for OSKitchen, which is pretty good, and fairly straightforward.
I suggest you just get a kitchen, dump a stock rom into it, and just have a look around it for a while first, so you get the idea of what you are facing.
Follow posts 1 - 4 and that should give you an evenings tinkering to get started.
Or there is ervius' visual kitchen, which isn't quite so straight forward, but works really well for me.
Reading HERE and HERE and HERE
and lots of reading in 'Chef Central'
However, to get immediate results, i found it far better to start with a pre built kitchen.
HERE is the one i first started to tinker with.
I gave up on kitchens a half dozen times in the past months, it just seems so overwhelming, which is why a ready made rom i could make minor tweaks to came in so handy.
thanks allot, I'm going to get to it right away. I'll post if I hit a wall.

convert it to an ext package, which will generate a folder with various files/subfiles, one of which is a reg file, edit that, add your registry entries (extracted from your currently running phone, using ceregistry editor ((if you dont already have them, immediately you finish reading this go get wincecab manager, ceregistry editor, and look up CAB_Converter too.)))
Use cab converter to change the cab into an ext.
as always, the best advice is to read everything, then read it again, hehe.
A working example.
connect your phone to usb, open ceregistry editor, click connect, browse to HKLM\software\HTC\manila\Home There are 80 or so numbered folders, Thats for the quicklinks.
In the tree view on the left, right click the folder Home and choose 'export'. A file save dialog will open, call it something like home, OK. You should get something like '81 keys exported'
Now, browse to the folder where the converted cookies EXT is, find the file 'app.reg'. Double click to open it in ceregistry editor, you will see a similar registry view as you saw on the phone, except with loads less entries. Find HKLM\software\HTC\manila\Home, select the home folder, hit delete, confirm, its now gone.
Go to top of ceregistry editor - hit Edit - Import registry keys from file.
Now, by default it will be looking for .reg files, but we exported ours as .cereg, so change the filetype dropdown to 'all files'.
Find your 'home.cereg' file we exported, click it, you will get a 'sucessfully imported,....blahblah', hit save, and now, when you cook the rom, your quicklinks will already be there as soon as the phone first boots.
Use SPB backup
Use SPB backup. Works wonders. I have a backup for the 3 or 4 roms I run. So all I have to do is load the rom, load spb backup and restore the backup and all my settings, email accounts, facebook and the such is ready to go.

This step is much more complicated than it sounds. Any possibility that you could include instructions for this?

sure you want to bother? it wont save your settings as they are now, so you are essentially dumping the stock rom as it was when you got the phone (Assuming you're running a stock rom that is, if its a cooked rom it probably wont convert anyway)
All (most) of teh stock roms are available to download, so its an accademic task only, , , ,

Actually, yes. I realize its redundant work, but I don't see how I could ever become a proper "chef" if I can't even manage to dump a ROM.

hehe, well, ive only done it once, so you know as much as me, , get ervius vis kitchen (im sure other kitchens can do it too, just i use evk) click extra buttons, top left button is raws2nbh, follow the prompts.
You dont need to do this to cook, you know that? the kitchen will import a downloaded stock nbh, no need for the dump to get a kutchen working.
