Hello,
I have some issue with the new layout of the WM6.5.3. taskbar and windows bar with old WM6.5 applications.
Old WM6.5 applications used to have on their configuration panels a small "ok" icon on the top right of the screen to validate selections and modifications.
With the 6.5.x layout this "ok" button does not appear anymore: I guess it is hidden by the clock, and it is not possible to apply ok anymore.
I even get stuck on the configuration panels as I cannot exit the app.
Does anyone knows a workaround to be able to use these type of apps with 6.5.x ?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Arnaud
Hi.I think there is no way around it. This is the reason why i dont flash any 6.5.X roms. You will have to install apps that are compatible with 6.5.X only with the "OK" on the bottom.

Has someone running pointUI + Cube flawlessly ? I have tried different cubes already but the don't seem to work properly with pointUI because in both programs you must sweep your finger from bottom to top to change or launch the screen.
You could always set the cube to open with a different stroke couldn't you????
yes, thats possible, but that is also a litlle buggie with pointUI.
I like pointUI and i like the cube, i have found some nice incons for the cube to match pointUI. Now the only thing left is to make them run together, has some any idea wich cube version to use ?
For all PointUI users who want to easily use their cube, you should change the Cutomized option for the action bar : choose the WM action bar instead of the PointUI one.
@ MonteCristoffOn, I already tryed that. example: When I go to the system menu (right top) and sweep my finger down/up to scroll trough the menu, the cube comes up. This happens when i have WM action bar enabled.
Hi,
I just installed the official 6.5 update but I think the WM 6.5 "Honeycomb" start menu is that damn slow when you got a lot of programs there. You have to scroll a lot and scrolling doesn't look very fluid.
Is there a way or a registry hack to get back the old HTC start menu that was delivered when the Diamond2 originally came out? The best would be if there where 4 icons in a row.
I've added a snapshot to show what I mean. Yes, as you can see on the snapshot I'm back to 6.1
My startmenu is very fluid to be honest, I got my programs and stuff sorted in folders. Like games, media (coreplayer etc), network (commanager etc), personal (phone, sms, email etc), GPS, system (total commander, resco explorer, reg edit etc). I will install SPB Screenshot and show you how it looks.
Here you go.

Its still there under the programs tab... ? or at least it is on mine...
sorry if this is a noob question, but how do i add folders to the start menu like you've done? and change icons?
I have done the same thing that you have done, Created folders in the start menu, to do this you just go to windows/startmenu and create folders in there.
However every time I soft reset my device, extra icons appear on the main start page screen. Is there any way to remove these?
I would love to go back to the HTC Start Menu as it was so much better, I know it is on a Tab on Touch Flow 3D but it defeats the point in having a hardware button to launch programs!

I totally agree. The current Startmenu lack the support for hiding items en ordering them. Love to find a solution.
I do not have any issues restructuring my start menu.
The only icons I keep on the main page are Phone and Reset, everything else is in a sub-folder and does not add icons to the main page.

True, but the TouchFlo "Programs" was much easier.
So am I the only one who's missing the drop-down menu when you tap the Start button - you know, the one that lists seven favourites and your four or five most recent programs?
Why should I navigate the Honeycomb every time I want to go to a program I use about 30 times a day?
Any fixes/hacks to bring this back? Or am I being really stupid and there's a simple option that I haven't found yet?

You can do this with Topaz Keyboard Controller: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=555821
Map the Start button to run the program "\Windows\manila.exe" with arguments "--switchtopage programs.page", and it should work perfectly - does for me.
Hello evrybody!
i search since few days how to move the icons in the start menu page, on an HTC official wm6.5 ROM.
Is it possible?
I found how to change 3 to 4 or five colomns, but not how to move an icon upper, bowner, under another...
I've just the possibility (like all of you I suppose) to move 1 icon on the first line.
I think i'ts possible on sense 2.5
Thanks for answer
If you press and hold an icon, a pop up menu (with only 1 option) will appear. You can click that to move it to top. I'm using sense 2.1 in 6.5.
No, the version of Sense has nothing to do with whether you can move icons on the start menu around. The only intuitive method of moving icons around exist in the 23xxx builds of WM, which are still pretty unstable. The best option for you would be to use a program like this.
I found That:

And I thing it's the unique way to move incons on the homepage. I tried it, I got it!!!!
I install the duck 6.5 lockscreen on my HD2 but there no effect after reboot.
I uninstall it however after reboot the default slidelock disappear.
Instead, the wm6.5 lockscreen reappeared.
How can I change back to the HTC slidelock?
Thanks a lot for any help!!
suggestion:
home screen - settings, click menu - advanced, select lock and and then the tab "screen". from the drop down menu, select the "windows standard" that is not selected (there are two in the list with identical names).
this at least works for me, changing from one lockscreen to another.
ps. these menu names and placements are translation from the norwegian ROM, so dont kill me if they are not identical
Thanks for your reply.
I've tried the two different items from the dropdown menu and both can't work. I think these setting is for the orignal screenlock for wm6.5 , not the HTC's own slidelock.
Anyway, thanks.
for me the lower one is htc's screen lock, and the upper one is the old MS one. i think i needed to soft reset to get the effect.
anyways, im sorry its not working for you
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
Touch Pro 2 AT&T
WM6.5 Stock TF3D 2.1
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!
