Does anyone know a way to replace the original "settings" shortcut in the start menu?
The one I have now takes me back out to the manilla tab but I want it to drop me straight into the settings page for WM
Can't seem to find a solution to this with google or at XDA.
I am running the laurentius V2 ROM
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks

Hello all,
I was wondering is there a registry edit to redirect the start tab from the convertional start drop down menu to say My Menu from SPB mobile shell?
I know the start menu has been replaced with the HTC cab as well as with quick menu but I cant find out how it has been done.
I apologise if this has been covered before but I could'nt find anything in the search.
Thank you in advance,
Akshay
Hi there,
is there any way to force Manila to update the links shown in the programs tab / new startmenu?
I'd like to change them by registry, but then I need to restart Manila, what is not very smart.
So, does anybody know of a commandlinearg for manila.exe to do this?
Like manila.exe --updateprogramspage <--this does not work...
Thanks in advance.
BTW: If somebody feels this isn't the right place for such a post, feel free to move it. I already tried Q&A but no response.
first option:
go to the "setting tab" on the home screen click "customise tabs" and rearange any tab order. click done and manila will restart its self.
Second option:
Goto all settings in the personal tab click today icon then in items tab (bottom), uncheck tf3d then click ok. go back into the today settings and check tf3d again, click ok and it will restart its self.
hope this worls out for you. Ive tried this tweek and it works greate. unlimited number of icons in the manila programs launcher only shame is after the first 30, you have to edit the rest using registry entries.
Thank you for the tip,
I'm using TFDetacher, so I'm able to restart Manila very easy.
But thats the problem, I don't want to restart it.
I want to manipulate the Start menu Items in runtime.

I dunno if this would fall under themes (I assume it would) but I have a request for a mod to WM6.5. Alright, in WM6.1, when you pressed the start button, a small menu popped out. In WM6.5, the start menu opens a full menu of items. I like the 6.1 functionality instead of the 6.5. Basically, I'm requesting that someone makes a modification that makes the start menu have the same functionality in 6.5 as it did in 6.1. All I want is a cab that I can install and then have my start menu button function as it did in 6.1. The programs button in the 6.1 start menu could link to the actual 6.5 menu, and settings to the 6.5 setting folder. It would then have similar enough usage to the 6.1 start menu to make me happy. If anyone wants to do this, yay. If not, just a thought guys. I guess it'd just be editing what the start menu links to, just make a context menu instead of opening the full start menu. Then again, what do I know

Edit: Meant [REQUEST] Start Menu Mod, my computer must've deleted the title while I had it highlighted or something.
Try QuickMenu. It's a third party program which emulates the style and function of the Start Menu pre-WM6.5. I don't believe it is actually possible to replace the native 6.5 Start Menu with that of 6.1, so QuickMenu is probably the best you can do to recover the old, smaller style menu.
Thanks, installing now.
Edit: Works great, thanks!
Recently flashed Verizon's stock MR2 ROM with WinMo 6.5 and HTC Sense 2.5 (Manila 2.5.20132227.0). Its growing on me. Definately snappy compared to 2.1, but after a couple days I'm still looking for answers to the following:
-Slide to Unlock: ...every time the screen turns off it locks... is that necessary? Any settings or .cabs that'll give me a little more control of when it locks?
-Start Menu: Where can I get a 4-colum programs .cab for the displayed Start Menu programs... OR have the start menu display the standart WinMo 6.5 start menu. The .cabs I had for 2.1 don't seem to work.
-Programs tab: Where can I find a .cab to add a "Programs" tab back into the slider icons? The one I had for 2.1 (again) doesn't work. Also changing the registry entry in HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila doesn't work, either ("programs tab is hidden" from 1 to 0).
Any help would be appreciated.
yes you can change your lock screen settings...
It'll be somewhere in your settings... I cant tell you where as I myself never use it. I went into mine and saw in settings\system there was something called lock config so I'm sure your set up would have something like that.
the start menu... well in 6.5 they have the honeycomb menu. I think I read back a long while ago about a way to make it go old school I just havnt seen in it a long while... same with the programs tab. They took that out of 2.5
my advice... go to this thread and read about the add on and then add it. It adds SO much funtionality to sense it just makes the standard one look stupid
[Manila Mod][19-Jun-2010] Co0kie's Home Tab v1.8.5
then you'll need this to do the changes
[APP] CHTEditor v1.8.5.1 [UPDATE 19-JUN-2010]
note the screen shots in the links. You can have any number of layouts and "pages" that swipe up and down for different short cuts right on your home screen. Different clocks, notification bars etc etc.
Options for Start Menu Replacement WM 6.5
-Lock Screen: You should be able to locate lock config under Settings or Settings--->System (However, if you decide to use the aforementioned Cookie Home Tab Mod, the lock config is modified using Cookie Home Tab Editor under the Lock Screen menu.
-Start Menu: Try (utak3r's modified Quickmenu and Joe Wilcox's Awesome Start (not free but you may like to try these start menu replacements: Hilauncher and Panoramic Launchpad)
-Programs Tab: Check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619253 and you will see that Cookies Home Tab is probably the way to go...
Hello all,
I'm using Gen.Y's D2 R5.5, excellent ROM. The only think I can't get used to is the Start menu launcher.
The option to roll back to the Sense Programs Tab is not also an option, it's pretty much the same.
Are there any other solutions around?
Thanks
To enable "old" LargeMenu (Disable new manila start menu):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu\Enable ManilaStartMenu =dword:00000000
To show favorites programs page on manila:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila\Manila://programs.page.hidden =dword:00000000
The same is accomplished by using this cab from Gen.Y http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=213039&d=1249512332
I was looking for something else..
Thanks anyway.
