Start Menu Problem... Please Help!!! - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Hi
I bought a MDA Vario last week and installed Ftouchflo v4.1 and Slithers SCPLC++ Cube and it appears to have messed up my Start Menu.
I have a white start menu with just icons on it when I open up the start menu and no names beside the icons. Also the start menu is much longer than usual with icons repeated 3 or 4 times.
I uninstalled Ftouchflo and deleted the cube application, did numerous soft resets and still no joy. I also saw in another thread that installing the large start menu fixes the problem but it didn't for me as the links on the large start menu didn't work properly
Has anyone got a fix for this? can i replace the start menu with something else that will fix this problem?
also if i do a hard reset to eliminate the problem will my phone be simlocked again? it was originally locked to t-mobile and I don't want it to be simlocked to that again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hard resets shouldn't lock your phone again. Especially if you've flashed to a different ROM.
As for your start menu problem, try Quick Menu (attached).
I always use this on any ROM I use, it's miles better than the start menu that comes with WM, and there's loads of options too. Give it a go, and see if this solves your start menu issue.
No install required, simply unzip the folder to your phone/SD card and run the .exe

thanks very much.
I am still running the original rom at the moment... i'm tenative about flashing a new rom as this is my first WM phone (coming from a SE W950) so its a big knowledge leap for me so i'm just installing apps one by one. I won't hard reset just yet
I'll try the alternative start menu you attached this evening as i can't use active sync on my office computer. thanks again for replying so quickly

The White Start Menu is a bug in the cube 51 version, supposed to be fixed when 52 is released. It is because of the plus (+) symbols in the recent programs list.
Try clearing this (http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/raj/ClearRecent.html)
The enlarge start menu Cab will be in the Dev and Hacking forum in the extracted HTC cabs thread.
Thanks

Generic white Icons in start menu
I have a weird issue with the start menu on the Tilt, All the apps that I have installed to the memory card and have pinned to the start menu appear with the generic white icon. I never had this problem with the 8525.
I know some people say to never install apps to the memory card but the apps work fine just the start menu icon is the problem.

On occasion, the icons will show as normal then go back to generic white. I'm sure it all has something to do with being installed on the memory card.

missing icon issue.

hello all i am having an issue that is way more annoying than anything, on the today screen in the upper right hand near where the X or the drop down options menu there is my bars for signal and speaker icon and 3G icon ...only half my reception bar shows up and my speaker icon and battery icon dont show up at all. i have tried restarting uninstalling all my htc_home and reinstalling but nothing gets the icons back ...if i press in that area i can adjust volume its just a lack of the icons if anyone has any ideas how to correct this id love to know! other things i use are wizard_retouched, i have kaiser tweak, and pocket toolman...which i noticed this time is when my icons half went away is when i went to use pocket toolman i have uninstalled and reinstalled everything back down to bare bone but nothing worked. i would love feed back so i dont end up throwing this against a wall.. Wanted to edit because sometimes the speaker icon will come back then go away after my phone sleeps and when i wake it up its back to the half reception bar / no speak/battery icon....thanks.

The icon right above your screen is from HTC task manager.
just kaiser_tweak and pocket toolman which allows some basic stuff..but i didnt change anything before the icons just vanished....and i have since uninstalled them...well kaiser u dont uninstall but ya kno...
Try disabling htc task manager.
Start - > Settings -> System -> Task Manager -> Button -> Enable Quick Menu on Today screen. Put this off. And see if this helps.
I think I had the same problem but I cant remember how did I solve that, sorry.But I think its something with registry(hiding some icon on the bar).
So far it has come back BUT i don't kno if it is going to stay but hopefully works, i have had the problem but i do not remember how i fixed it either...since i disabled the quick icon thing..it looks all naked in that corner but that is fine id rather have my battery icon back =) ty

New HTC Comm Manager acting funky

I have an AT&T Tilt, and a friend of mine showed me his HTC device and I absolutely loved the look/feel. So in my attempt to add on every HTC schema, the new Comm Manager ended up looking very strange compared to that of the stuff I'd seen online. I tried installing different versions and doing a hard reboot, but all failed. Here is a screenshot of what I'm dealing with:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is just a minor issue, but I found that I will have to do a factory reset on the device to get it back to standard appearance. Bummer :-/
If anyone can let me know what's going on or any advice, I'd be more than happy to hear from ya.
Thanks!

Which install did you use that left you in that state?
I have a stock AT&T Tilt and I used DuttyThroy Black 3G Comm Manager.
you can find it in one of the top stickies that has an FTP link to his store of software: Collection of the Latest Cabs ...
Here is the new FTP Link: http://duttythroy.lives-in.eu/
in the Cabs section: duttythroy 3g comm manager (working).cab
Proto,
After removing the previous Comm Manager, and installing the Dutty release you sent me to, it is blank. As in, the same small square background appears, with no text. This shows after a system reset. I uninstalled the Dutty version and it still appears this way.
I will most likely to a system reboot back to factory settings and start all over, using the Dutty release this time.
Thanks for the link, looks like the Dutty site has a great collection.
-Philip
I had the same problem with the dutty 10 key comm manager, all black with no buttons or text. After several uninstalls and soft resets I installed the 6 button comm manager and it has been working fine ever since. I suggest trying the 6 button comm manager before you hard reset.
my problem with the 10 button comm manager was that i didn't see the buttons, only the labels (the text). after installing on the device,not on the storage card the problem was solved. try it

Annoying Today Screen Glitch - Scroll Bar

I have searched the forum and haven't found any thread relating to this. When I open my tilt into landscape mode to access the keyboard, an annoying scrollbar appears (b/c portrait is obviously longer than landscape in height), and when I close the tilt, I am left with an ugly void the size of a scrollbar on the right side. Some other times the screen will be stretched out when back in portrait mode (as if it's still in landscape but displaying in portrait). I am running Dutty's Apr29 WM6.1 Hybrid ROM w/ radio 1.65.14.06
Any ideas? This wasn't happening before.. I understand that one of my options is to just leave my today screen with just the htc bar above where "Owner" is, but I want to figure out why this issue is happening.
When I go to landscape mode:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
Back to portrait mode:
Or sometimes:
Another Issue:
2.) When I click the device lock button from the quicklaunch of HTC home, before when hitting it, it would go back to the main screen, but now it stays there.
I apologize if these issues have been brought up, but I have been searching for quite some time and haven't made any progress.
i had the same problem with scroll bar and the problem was in HTC Task Manager. if you have installed any version of this just try to uninstall it. i read somewhere that task manager should be installed first after rom upgrade. i tried all 2.x versions of HTC Task Manager and had this problem with all of them.
When you have your HTC Home plugin on top, try to "lock" the plugin.
You can do that with HTC Home Customizer or Advanced Config.
That will solve you issue, when switching landscape to portrait.
Try use Kaiser Tweak and set the HTC Home to locked.This might sort problem out.
Problem seems to be solved! Thanks all!

[Q] My diamond has extra "+" icons in "Programs" tab.

First, I would like to begin by saying I have tried searching on both Google, and using the forum search provided here. If I missed something, please lead me in the right direction.
I have an HTC Touch Diamond in Canada from Telus. I have had it for about a month, and I must admit, it's beautiful! Anyways, I was flipping over to my Programs tab, and decided I was going to add a program to one of the tabs. I flicked up, and up came the next 9 "+" icons. (total of 18 icons, correct?). So I add the application to the icon, and it returns me to the programs tab. I scroll down, and what's this? I have an extra "+" tab (Total of 19 now). Each time after adding an application, another appears. Now, you might think this could be cool, and useful, but first off, you can't add any program shortcuts to these extra "+" icons... if you click on them, it comes up with the Add Program thing, and if you click on it, it returns to the program's tab, without the program. Secondly, they cannot be removed. If you delete one of the Program shortcuts that you added, the extra one does not be removed. It just stays there, and its quite annoying.
After playing around with the TouchFlo 3d for some time, it seemed to fix itself for a little bit, but as soon as I tried to add a shortcut, they added themselves again. A soft reset does not solve, and I really don't want to do a hard reset. I have .NET framework 3.5 installed, and I have installed a few applications (only after reading reviews, mostly coming from these forums, other than google maps). I have ROM version: 1.06.661.1.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Hind1
This is the Programs tab that i'm talking about

Easy fix. You need to delete a few registry keys.
Goto HKLM-->software-->HTC-->Manilla-->ProgramLauncher
You should only have number 0-17 (total 18). Delete anything greater than that e.g. 18, 19 etc.
Thanks for the quick reply!!
Worked perfectly. Awesome.
Thanks,
Hind1
Glad that's sorted my friend.
What a lot of people would want to know though, is there a way to actually add the extra icons and use them? It seems by editing the registry you can add as many as you want, but it seems to be impossible to use them. Being able to have more programs on this tab would be very useful!
Hmm... I never thought of that!
I'm sure it wouldn't be all that hard... I am not really a wiz with windows mobile, as I just picked this phone up about a month ago (my first windows mobile device owned), so I probably won't be able to figure it out, but if there's anybody who wants to try, that would be awesome!

Windows Phone 7 lockscreen for 6.5.x

I found this great lockscreen today, but there were some things which bothered me, like the built-in background, so I made my personalized version of it.
Result:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It's very sililar to the original lockscreen, but this is what I changed:
-removed built-in background, so you can choose your own
-cleaned up code and
-moved the clock and appointment, clock and appointment also disappear now when showing the seperate notifications to make room
-3 colors, I could make some more on request (not too many... )
Thanks to Cendaryn for the orignal lockscreen
Edit: Version 2
Now when you click on the unlock button to show the notifications, only the appointment disappears, and the notifications show up under the time and date. Maybe there is not enough place for all the four notifications at once, but I have never had this yet, so it shouldn't be a problem.
Hey,
This looks awesome, however, after installing it, I do not get your lock screen. In fact, I get the old school WM6.1 lock screen with just the unlock button.
I'm running a Touch Pro 2, and I know there are sometimes some crazy HTC customizations.
Would you be able to list the registry entries you make and maybe the lock screen image files/directions so I could manually place them?
Sadly, after installing it, and then uninstalling it, I now no longer have the 6.5 lockscreen back, either.
But I'd rather switch to yours anyway.

First of all, sorry for the late respone, and thank you for your intrest.
I don't exactly know why it shows up the winmo 6 lockscreen. Which version of windows mobile are you using, 6.5, or 6.5.3? Maybe I am using some property for the auto-hide of the appointment wich only works on 6.5.3...
But I understand what went wrond when uninstalling: on installation, it simply overwrites the existing locksreenfiles, and there is no back-up (I don't even know if it's possible to make back-ups with cabs, if somebody knows, please tell me). So on unistallation, your entire lockscreen is gone I have made a cab to reinstall the htc lockscreen meanwhile.
It looks nice, thanks for share
Cool Thx Bro
