I recently flashed my rom to the Rhodium Energy Rom with WM6.5 and I love everything including the Touchflo3d Landscape etc but I HATE HATE HATE the Honeycomb Start menu, I miss the simple Start drop down menu where you can customize the programs you want on the menu and the recently use programs. Is there a way to have WM6.5 but have the old menu instead of the confusing annoying new Honeycomb one?
You can try reStart to reorganize the Hoeycomb-Startmenu but there will be no recent list (thats the only thing I mss after using the WM6.5 Startmenu for a while...)
Or you can try QuickStart, a Startmenu Replacement and TaskManager in one.
There is a new WM6.5 build 23022 with new UI
Check this out!!!

nice that they are making changes to it. hope its not just another skin modification or something
Hi
Aleluya,
it is your time to put the Ok button
down, it's easier .....
Thank you for the info!
I don't like this new UI,top and bot bars are increased and for Manila this is not a good things,HTC Task Manager icon is covered from the clock,MS moved left softkey to the middle and this way home screen became ugly...
I try this 23022 on my HD but i moved back to 23017 in 5 minutes...I hope MS will complete the new UI with a better look,IMHO,now,this is not the right way.
Which ROM base on Build 23022? i want to try

I can agree with you that it is not the prettiest of changes, however the fact that they are changing the UI proves that they have finally realized that the UI looks crap
Go here...at the end of the first post, there are 2 TEST versions

Thanks for the ROM Miri
Is this build not stable yet? Why is it Test version?
Because of the graphic glitches. If you have time test it and you will see what's going to come

That looks nice OK button was always a big problem for me it's to small and it's too damn far away from the thumbs when you operate with one hand.It's not maybe the best solution but definetly an improvement I don't want to try it cause it's too early version but what happens to the task button? I see that the clock is there so it's removed ?
hey miri is it gonna be a non-manila v or we wait 4 a stable build coz this one seems nice alot visual changes
Nope, 23022 is not ready for daily usage, we have to wait a little more

23022 and Manilla 2.5
Miri - I am big user of your Manilla 2.5 ROMs. Please share when you think you will drop a 23022 build combined with Manilla 2.5. Keep up the good work!
Now the important problem is manila 2.5 is not stable! not the WM6.5 if you dont use manila, you can enjoy the new version of WM.
But I think microsoft is not creative. HTC had made the WM more easy-operative and better apparence.
So, it is not microsoft but HTC which should optimize their work.
i really hate Window 6.5 UI. Just look and see at the home screen the top and bottom bar are transparent but when u go into setting or sms for example they turn into black. It's really baadddddddddddd . That's the reason why i choose to stay with 6.1 rom until now

Absolutely right
I really like the new WM6.5 UI. It is a definite improvement from WM6.1, despite the fact that I don't really like a 100% Touch interface. I like using my stylus too but this is in WM6.5 not an issue.
What I don't like is Manila. How can I disable it completely? I am not talking about Touch Flo but about Manila. I want to have the original WM6.5 experience...
There are soime rom called super light here where u can get only 6.5 experience without manila. But as i talked above u should stay with 6.1 because u will get dissappointed with 6.5 right after u use it

if yo want to disable manila goto settings->today->items and uncheck "TouchFlo 3D"
if you want to get the original wm6.5 experience you have to enable titanium which is microsofts new "desktop". you can enable it under settings->today->items and tick "Windows default".
This is the merge of MD (maldives) and Com3.
There are definitely many issues with the number of changes made and many of the new UI updates have no real skinned assets.
However, there are some fixes in 23022 and the native 480x800 resources help (the themes included also have reg settings which need to be applied).
X button replacements like HTC TaskManager have some issues, as do the Notification managers and enlarge start menu services.
MS is in the progress of transitioning the notification UI to the confetti plus engine (the HW accelerated, XML/CPR driven engine that runs the start menu)
Knowing Miri, he will likely have a stable build up by the end of the weekend.
I just installed the latest htc rom with sense 2.5 and on top Cookie's hometab. The whole new interface looks nice but i have couple issues to be solved:
1) can i make the windows hardbutton pointing to "my programs" as in previous roms, and not to windows' honeycomb programs? Maybe through a registry value?
2) ...ofcourse, i need to find where "my programs" are with sense 2.5, cause i don't see them . There isn't even a quick tab for them.
3) I have seen long ago someone having 4 columns aligned in straight rows, instead of windows' honeycomb style. Is there any link for it or is it only for windows titanium interface?
these for now, i hope nothing else pops up!

You can check this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=555821. Basically it will map any of your keys to any program.
I am not sure if you can have a shortcut directly to your programs in Windows, but as an alternative, you could also use a small program called Second Today and put all of your favourite shortcuts there using Elecont Launcher for example. With this, you can have as many columns as you like.
Hello,
I'm searching for a solution to edit or remove items from the startmenu wich are not listed in the /Windows/Start Menu folder.
Is there a software wich can remove or rearrange these items?
The following informations may be inportant:
Phone: HTC Topaz
ROM: NullPointer EvO v3.5
ROMVersion: Topaz S2 2.53.407.6
OS: 23569
Sense: 2.5.20161332.0
I hope there is a solution for this issue, because there are some items I don't need..
Greetz Nightskill
What things are not appearing in that folder?
That are items of programs wich are baked into the ROM manually.
Like the Office Items, Teeter and Solitaire. Such stuff.
I only want to remove the Item from the startmenu. I don't want to remove the programm completely. It's only for overview. I only need programs I want to use in this menu.
Try this:
http://www.myblackjack2.com/hacks-and-mods/application-unlockers/sda-application-unlocker/
Its incompatible(apparently) with some forms of the blackjack 2, so it might not work, but who knows

Very nice application!

Thanks for the hint.
No thnx, glad i could help
Hi guys, i've a windows mo 6.5.5 and i hate the down bar with the giant start button..
Is possible to enable the bar of first or second attachment? Also like the third attachment if is possible.
Thanks guys for the help,
Gabriele.
The third bar is WM6.5. To get this, you would need a new rom with WM6.5.
if you are using Sense 2.5 (as it seems according to your sign) you could try Co0kie Home Tab 2.0 as it is great to customize the home screen even the "down bar" -aka softkeys. You can easily have these down bars and others. I cannot post links now but its easy to get them searching. Regards,
