[REQ] Getting 16 or 25 icons on 2.5 Home Screen?

I dont get HTC. on the windows 6.1 version first we had a programs tab, then the home tab so we could NEATLY add icons. All of a sudden in 6.5 on their Sense 2.5 GUI we only get NINE MASSIVE ICONS which isnt enough (think how big they must be on LEO!!!), and we have the start menu loading up all the icons in a very messy way (I keep searching around for my software).
So can someone figure out how to get 4x4 or 5x5 icons???
Please??

id like to know as well

you can go to windows>start menu>programs and organise the start menu to your liking. i hear ya on the icons though. stupid move. the programs tab with 30 icons was the best. that's the main reason i stick with 2.1 builds. and i apply the 50 icon hack as well.

OK, I know I should search, but can you/someone please point me to "the 50 icon hack"?
BTW: I completely agree about this defficiency of the 2.5 vs 2.1 TF3D. 30 (or 50!) is better than 9.

is this "50 program hack" for the programs tab or the start menu because im trying to find a way to put more items on the new manila start menu

I think he's referring to the Programs tab in TF3D2.1...which is what I'm interested in. But if I could add more icons to the new Home-Screen icon array I might like it...

Hi
Map any button in the Manila 2.5 Home tab quick links to third party launcher like WKTask launcher or my action and you are done

it says start menu, but it adds 50 icons total to the programs tab in touchflo. not sure about the standard windows start menu.

Tried it -- works great!
I tried to do this myself manually a few days ago...or maybe I was trying to add more icon-links to the TF3D2.5 Home screen...whichever -- I must have missed some reg-setting 'cause it didn't have any effect.
Thanks!

Settings Shortcut WM6.5 Start menu

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

Programs Tab from TouchFlo 2.1

Hi there!
Ive seen the new shortcuts on the homescreen on every video again and again. The number of programs you can add there is extensible but limited. So is there an "All Programs" button like on previous TouchFlo versions on the programs tab or at least a possibility to see all programs installed? Maybe im blind or have forgotten about it but i think i havent seen something like this on any video.
Thanks!
Phil

Sadly, it doesn't exist. I have been asking around if anyone can port the old Manila 2.1 start menu and program tab over yet, but no one has responded to say yes it can be done

Damnit...so theres no scrollable list with all programs installed on the device in Sense anymore? Really no way?

Isn't WM 6.5 start menu about the same ?

Yes and I believe that's exactly the reason why the programs tab is gone.

Yeah, could be the reason for it. But a bad exchange if you ask me...but there are other programs out there that could be useful to me like TouchLaunch.

The "All Programs" button in TouchFlo just went to an icon view of the "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs" folder - This is exactly what tapping the "Start" button in WM-6.5 now does.

a great alternative for this is a program called launchpad which gives you a program launcher from the taskbas star shortcut but also give you the normal windos shotcut fron the hard key below. try it you wont be dissapointed

from 4pda.ru forum
1. disable manila
2. delete key HKLM>Software>HTC>Manila>Configuration, if exists
3. install the cab
4. delete ManilaFull.xml from /Windows
5. SR
6. enable manila

sorry for my english

4 colums Start menu and programs tab for Sense 2.5?

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...

[Q] Customize Manila Sense 2.1 contacts tab

Hey experst,
I know, this ap is not the newest, but I want to use my blackstone for some days more, so here is my question:
how can I customize the slider tabs, for example I want to use Resco Contact manager instead of the standard contacts. Is it possible by tapping "contacts"-tab to get Resco contacts be started?
I'm using Blackstone wm 6.1 original HTC-Rom.
have tried this SSMaHo but can not "assigner mode" so is there any other possibility (changing registry )?
thx in advance!
