I just flashed to l3v5y Topaz WM6.5 [21819/21820] (26060901) WWE, and was wondering if there was a way to put the honeycomb background back to the start menu/program list?
Also, how do I get 4 rows of programs instead of 3?
EDIT ADD: Oh, and is it possible to add more links to the main menu of 6.5? I don't want to have to always go into the start menu and scroll all the way down to start an app. The Topaz doesn't have a big enough resolution (lol).
This it's a good question were is the Honey...comb ?
I try 2 different ROM's and the same flast interface and no options to customize only to MOVE TO TOP option.

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.
Where can i get the new lock interface and answering interface? I have mightyrom6 with 6.5 but it seems to be missing those features
Then it was the decision of the cook to leave those out . At least I'm sure about the lock interface because I removed that too. Not sure about the answering interface as I dont get many call's...
I don't know if you already know it, but you can go to start - and the left softkey 'Lock'. If the old wm6.1 lock screen appears it is indeed removed before cooking the ROM.
Go to (Settings-Lock-Display) change to window default
Use a differnt ROM
L3V5Y Roms has it
I have an t-mobile hd2, and wanted to figure out how to edit my theme
i.e. changing the tabs, amount of tabs, and the amount of apps on the home screen, and also how to change the honey comb kind of look on the start menu. if anyone can answer some questions or point me to the right thread/tutorial that would be great.
if anything at all the location of the files that i can edit this theme information would be great.
Hi... I'm not an expert myself but I'll try...
1. For your home tabs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625483
2. For home tab editor: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633590
3. For the hexagonal icons thingy for WinMo I believe its the Titanium theme. Haven't used it myself but check this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508968
Have fun!!!
to change the order and remove the sense tabs simply go to the options of sense...there i can't help you because i have an italian rom
to change the amount of apps on the home screen you should try cookie mod and cht editor
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!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.
I notice that if I apply an older WM 6.1 to my 6.5.3 device, I get the old style popup/context menus where all the options appear on one screen, rather than the newer, larger, more "finger friendly" menus which require scrolling up and down to see all options. I like the old-style ones better.
Unfortunately applying an older theme also seems to have the side effect of messing up some of the icons on the bottom menu bar so that they either don't display at all, or display incorrectly. Is there any way to cause ONLY this old-style menu change to occur, without messing anything else up? Either through a registry edit or some other way? Alternatively, is there a way to fix the bottom menu bar on 6.5.3 when a 6.1 theme is applied?
I haven't done any theme editing before so if anyone could provide any assistance it would be greatly appreciated, thanks...
What type of theme have you applied? For what UI?
Just the regular Windows Mobile UI. By default my device has the "Classic Blue" theme selected out of the box, which works fine. As a test I installed Windows Mobile 6.1 Green Theme found here:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-windows-mobile-6-1-theme.html
It mostly does what I want with the menus, but for example in the email/POutlook app (among others) in the bottom menu bar the OK/X button is okay, but the icon/button for "Menu" is completely missing. There is no icon, nor any word in its place. It is just blank, yet tapping on it still does bring up the menu as desired. This is what I am not usre how to fix. Alternatively, I'd be happy with just changing these menus back to the old compact 6.1 style without affecting anything else, but right now applying an old-style theme is the only way I know of accomplishing this.
there are a lot of themes, better to find at least a 6.5 of your taste.
make a search here on xda or look here
The thing is, I'm not really too concerned with the appearance part of things, so the look of a theme doesn't matter that much to me. What I am mainly trying to accomplish is getting the old smaller, compacted system/context menus that we used to have on 6.1.
For example when you're in email (Pocket Outlook) viewing your list of messages, and you want to check for new mail, you hit the "menu" button and then select "Send/Receive". It's that menu I'm talking about. On the old OS version you could see all items on the screen at once, but with the new finger friendly 6.5, you have to scroll up and down to get to various items, such as Send/Receive.
That's the only thing I'm trying to change: getting those old menus back. And currently applying a 6.1 theme is the only way I know of doing so, but it also messes up the bottom menu bar under 6.5.3. So I'm hoping to either find another, easier way of restoring those old menus, or finding a fixed/tweaked 6.1 theme that doesn't mess up the menu bar on 6.5.3.
