Do you mean the standard Windows start menu or the newer HTC start menu (launcher)? If it is the Windows start menu and the icons and text are just too large you should be able to adjust this in one of two places:
(1) Start -> Settings -> System -> TouchFLO -> uncheck Enable large Start menu
or
(2) Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Large Start Menu -> uncheck Enable large Start menu
Just depends on the rom. I'm not familiar with Davideuck's roms. But the setting should be there in one of the two places...
If you don't have either of those options or the options don't work there is a .CAB floating around that I can post to fix that. Let me know if you need it.
Oh god i think it should be the option 2. Before i only know that i just can change menu size when i did like option 2.
But for david rom actually it is option 1.
Thank you very much

I just installed Dutty's Diamond Rom! I didn't like the start menu, so I installed QuickMenu 2.7 and now I have two, even though my QuickMenu is set to overwrite the default menu!
Help!
Update!
So If i click the windows icon it opens the start menu, and if I click I Start it opens the other menu. Is there a way I can turn the Windows default one off?
Disable Large Start Menu
Goto: Start, Settings, Personal, Large Start Menu.
No Large Start Menu
When I navigate to Settings > Personal, there is no option for large start menu! I click Menus but that has nothing in terms of disabling it. Sorry for the trouble!

Hmm... I'm not running Dutty's ROM currently.
Maybe the setting to disable Large Start Menu is under TouchFlo settings.
[EDIT]
Found it in Dutty's thread!

Got it! Thank you soo much!!
Also, if you open quickmenu start bar, and goto quickmenu->option-> and then on the general tab check "replace system's start menu". That does the trick too!
Hi!
Please help me.
I updated my Touch Pro to Windows Mobile 6.5.
I love it, but the new start menu is not the real thing.
How can I downgrade or something else to the old Windows Mobile 6.1 start menu?
It is possible?
Thanks for the help.
use QuickMenu 2.8, it will break the 6.5 start menu and you'll have the old style menu plus. But you'll have to hard reset to get the 6.5 menu back.

I'v actually been able to run both.
The trick is...on QuickMenu, do NOT check the "Replace System Menu".
Then use AEButton Plus to Launch QuickMenu.
You can still use the honeycomb by pressing the Title Bar.
It really is the best of both worlds.
I have installed QM on WM6.5 but I do not have a listing of recently used, neither is there an option for adding frequently used menu items. Is there a way to use the normal start menu on WM6.5?

Depending on your settings, and if I remember right, if you tap and hold, the windows default menu used to come up. If tap the quickmenu should come up.
It may not break the 6.5 start menu anymore...a lot has changed on the newer builds since I last reported about Quickmenu.
But check those settings for quickmenu and look for the setting for the tap for default menu or something like that...good luck
thanks
thanks for the info. and nice sig some times i feel the same way. i think i need a new hobby.

Try putting a folder called 'Recent' in your windows folder. It might work (kind of a long-shot). You'll also need this reg entry (I think, lol):
HKLM\Explorer\Shell Folders\Recent, with Recent = \Windows\Recent
take a look at this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534630.
There is a qmenu cab posted by me that allow you to keep both menus. If you press in the windows logo you get Qmenu, if you press the word "start" (or any other program name in his place), you will get the honeycomb menu.
Wisbar Advance!! It doesn't break anything when it's uninstalled and adds so many extra good features.
How to increase the letters on the start menu?
I have the old start menu view as you can see in the image, but letters are so small at natural
I think I've seen a trick to change the registry but can not find it. Thank you
I don't know if the ones in the menu are changed, but go to: settings - all settings - system - screen - text size. Again, don't know if only the message text is changed or the menu. Sorry if this is not the solution

I think is not a program... Is change some key from registry... I use to have a Diamond and I do but know I can´t find the page with instructions But it can be done.... Sure someone remember the way
HTC have "Enlarge Start Menu" that does that... Never heard of registry settings for it though...
This is what you're after. See attached screenshots to see the difference.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu]
"Enable"=dword:00000001
You have to soft reset the device for the change to take effect.
Hi guys!
appart of the known bugs of the still immature os wm6.5, after flashing several roms i still have some annoying things, that probably can be easily solved with some registry tweaks
sadly, i don't know which registry to change, so i am asking for your help:
1. pressing the start menu (left upper corner) the icons from the menu are totaly unsorted. i have a lot of things installed, so i want them sorted, let say, alphabeticaly. is it possible?
2. same start menu - can the dimenssions of the icons be changed? some people may want them smaller and some people may want them bigger.
3. settings menu - if you make a setting modification (through all settings menu), after confirmation you are sent to manila settigs. i want to remain within the all settings menu rather then manila. is it possible?
4. within the mail tab, is it possible to make inbox to be default option when you go to email tab?
thank you!
regards

For the start menu icons (1), you can sort them into folders (normally provided on the roms with nice icons), if you go into file explorer you can cut and paste shortcuts into the different folders as you want

than you have to modify the xml file.
1- copy your StartMenu_GridScene_480x800 to your storage card
2- open it with XML notepad
3- open the submap under StartMenu GridScene find the 3rd image folder
4- change the width and height
5- save and replace it whit tcm
good luck

I know it differs, but in my version of 6.5 - I can press_and_hold the icon in the start menu, and then just move it to where ever I want it.

nope, with rom version i use, when i do that i got just 1 option - "Move to top"
however, even if it would work as in your rom, it is still difficult to sort if you have many apps installed.
i am thinking about something simple - some option or registry tweak that allow to sort icons

rambo12345,
Is it possible to go back to the original layout rather than the honeycomb, with the 4 columns, as the honeycomb seems to achieve nothing except wasting screen space and making the icons more difficult to scan visually.
Thanks.

I see other homescreen tuned and I like one to get fast application access
How to change the homescreen?
any soft or mod??
please help me
have second today to use homescreen++ (to use battery status2) but the original home screen don't go, and I need to run second today to get overclock CpuScaler
and homescreen++ is too tiny to my fingers & old fashion
I use Evo 2
Tks
Looks like you're trying to get rid of the original homescreen. To do that, go to
Start -> Settings -> Home -> (tab) Items -> uncheck "Windows Default", and press OK.
Hope it works for you.
