Hello.
Is there anyway to Have a classic style Today Screen and start menu on the HD2, such as the ones that Windows Mobile 5 and 6 Had?
Thanks,
Boris

Yes Boris - just turn off Sense in the settings.
Settings tab, menu, all settings, today, items (tab), and turn off HTC Sense. Turn on whatever you want for the today screen.
For the start menu, you want something like QuickMenu, which you can get here...

Thanks very much.
Few Questions.
1. So The WM 6.5 On the HD Doesn't have any classic style start menu that can be selected? And am I right in saying that the ONLY Start menu avaliable on WM 6.5 is the one where the Huge Titles pop up across the whole screen?
2. The link that you posted for the classic type start menu, is that customizable?
3. I see that the start Icon is Grey/White, Can I get it to the the normal Red/Green/Yellow windows colours?
4. Any other suggestions/tweaks/programs to get the HD2's interface looking as close to the earlier versions as possible?
Thanks.

Hi guys,
After trying all of the roms on the forum I've decided I want a clean HTC wm 6.1 rom.
I was hoping that the rom would have the home screen pictured in all of microsoft's videos, but it seems that the screen is not available in the rom designed for our device.
Does anyone have any ideea how I can get that feature?
Thank you,
Andrei
Uncheck the HTC Home today item plugin in Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Today icon -> Items tab. There you can select all the other stuff like Owner Info, Device Lock, etc.
Nope. It's not what i'm looking for.
What i'm looking for is the windows slide home screen...
If I think I know what you're talking about, that might be for non touch screen devices, not the wm6 pro on the Cruise.
I tried itje's 4.0rc3.1 and it is awsome. For me not ready for daily use though. Question, is there a cab for the new dialer (because it works flawlessly in landscape unlike the blackstone one). Also, can the new start menu be used without TF3D? Is there a cab for that, or does that come with TF3D 2? How about the youtube from the TP2? I am guessing/hoping that has landscape support.
bumping this up - have the same question A cab would be awesome

To answer my own question, it does come from TF3D. The programs tab from TF3D has become the new start menu. It is possible to revert to the old start menu and reinstate the programs tab. Also, if you disable TF3D, old start menu comes back.

So I would have to install the new TF3D(from Rhodium) to get this running, right?

Yes, install and you must enable it.
What about the dialer? Could that be available as a cab install for Xperia R2A stock ROM?
Does anyone know about any other way to set the start menu to display a bigger menu - easier to tap while driving - then the enlarged menu?
Thanks

Quick Menu (Try the Menu item edge option in the View tab.)
I'm searching for really big icons in start menu with names under icons... Something like when i press start button on today screen to show full screen grid menu like Omnia 2 or something like wm 6.5 start menu.

Here you can view Omnia 2 start menu(starts around 0:10). Big finger friendly icons, side draging to the other tabs...

Look at Panoramic Launchpad http://www.panoramicsoft.com/mobileapps/launchpad/LaunchPad.php#
$4.95 and it does what you want

Thank you very much. To bad don't have skins and themes (can only change colours) nor option to change icons of the apps, but it's good and usefull app. Thank you very very much again.
It can't be mapped to the Start key.
Since I have an i780 I really need that feature.

Panoramic Launchpad can be mapped to start bar and then if you want even more map with AE Button to the key of choice
Correct me if I'm wrong but the final build of wm6.5 is not ready yet.I really hate betas .
Anyone know how to switch back to the original windows 6.5 start menu? I want to give it a try with touch flo.
I also wouldn't mind being able to do this. I like TouchFlo, but I like the standard Start menu much much better.
Go to settings, all settings, today settings and change it there.

No, we said we want to keep TouchFlo, but go back to the standard 6.5 start menu. Nothing in Today Settings would do that.
same here i also would like to have the classic apps page back for touch flow anyone know how to make this happen?
Touch Flo overrides the standard WM 6.5 interface, you have to select one or the other. Going in to the today settings and selecting Windows Default you can see that it forces to uncheck touch flo.
There could be a reg edit somewhere to disable it... Hopefuly
I am not sure if it works with this phone, but I allays use a cab that was released with the Manila 2.1 VGA ports that disables the HTC Start menu. I will be trying for myself when my phone arrives on Tuesday.
here you go....
verified to work on the imagio.

You sir, are a GOD! This worked perfectly, except when I soft-reset, it started TouchFlo, but just displayed a blank today screen with my background until I hit the start button. But I never shut off my phone, so thanks, this is great!
LOL. i got this back when juicy was making his first manila 2.1 rom.
i think it is actually from xboxmod's original 2.1 port thread.
anyway it works great for me and doesn't cause any problems.
can we customized the touch flo menu? i want to remove the weather & map serach icon.
Switch to Win 6.5 start menu
Works great, thanks alot!!!!!
I've tried a few .cabs to get a 4 column start menu on the stock (WM6.5) ROM start menu, but none have worked!
Can anyone suggest one that works please?

I've got the Tilt2 with a stock ROM, and am quite pleased with Co0kieMonster's 4ColumnsStart&AllPrograms_v1.1. Note, however that it is not compatible with Max TF3D Theme Maker v4.1 (the text on the "all programs" screen is messed up -- at least for me and a number of others).
4ColumnsStart&AllPrograms_v1.1 doesn't actually change the Windows Start menu on my phone. It changes the HTC menus, but not the Windows one.
ah, sorry, haven't used the Windows start menu in ages -- have you tried QuickMenu? It blows the Windows start menu away
After a lot of searching, I've found a .cab that works.
Included here for anyone else looking for it!
Thank you! I've been looking for this for quite some time also.
