the touchpro 2 manila right softkey menu, and i guess all menus in any program are replaced with a finger friendly menu by HTC, this can be seen in Energy Rom 2.0 BETA, i was wondering if this part of the Manila can be extracted and made into a standalone cab to add finger friendly menus to our already existing Touch Pro 1 Manila

I think there's a app called FingerMenu(or something similiar) that looks the same. Search in development and hacking forum of xda.
Thanks
Thanks showaco FingerMenu is exactly what i needed
search for HT Rhodium Menu Enchancement ... you need to be running a ROM newer than than 21000 though.
Hello! I am searching for 2 days now and I believe is moment to ask. I want to know what is the latest build of wm 6.5 has the menus like 6.5.1. I want the normal taskbars because the bigger one from 6.5.1 is over bottom part of programs.
Cheers!
21884 is standard toolbars + finger friendly popup menus

Thank you!
I believe that is the theme that makes the finger friendly pop-up menus.
I've found this build: 21925 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhiYQwCIVdI
This is something that I need. But I can't find a list with all WM 6.5 builds and the differences between them.
Cheers!
On my XPERIA X1 I have a custom WinMo 6.5 ROM, build 23420.
With the panels, the placement on the screen is coded when the panel is made (if I'm not sure). But because these panels are for WinMo 6.1, the bottom of the panel is cut off by the enlarged bar on the bottom of the screen in newer 6.5 builds.
Is there a way, through registry hacking or some other sort, to change the placement of a program in Windows Mobile?
Also, if a fix for this has already been found, post the link.
Does anyone know if there's a way I can make WM 6.5.3 look like WM 6.5, back when the buttons weren't round and the start button was at the top of the screen?
Can WM 6.5 CHOME be used on WM 6.5.3 or is that an absurd proposal?...
Thanks.
if u want it, then flash a 6.5 ROM. People flash a 6.5.x ROM to get the round button and the start menu on the bottom. And I can't see a difference between the 2 CHOME on 6.5 and 6.5.x
If you want, you can use 6.5.X but with a theme such as amarullz black with the square buttons. I find that this is extremely attractive. Agreed, the CHome is the same on both. Just the rest of the UI has more touch-friendly aspects. In my opinion 6.5.X is definitely better than 6.5 especially with a square button theme.
Or you could run a build like TPC Elite V11 which have the new tab changer like 6.5.x or 23022 which have bigger buttons.
Regardless of the ROM and chef that built it, whats your favourite and why...is it the speed, looks or stability.
like the button design very easy to use
6.1 Nice and fast with zero problems. I don't use too many apps so the finger friendliness of 6.5 isn't much of an attraction to me and I don't like the 'Start' menu layout of it.
6.1 - fast, stable, supports drag&drop (in Total Commander/CE), has start menu with recent programs, it's easier to select items in listboxes (item is highlighted when you tap&hold on it so you know what are you selecting, this is overrided by scrolling in 6.5), has moveable msgbox windows (still can be dismissed like in 6.5 by tapping on the window content, you don't have to aim for OK/X), unlike 6.5.5 it is possible to run Wisbar Advance on 6.1 (and 6.5) to have icons of running programs right on taskbar, 6.5.5 doesn't support programs with toolbars (I had problems with Total Commander/CE - no start/close visible, icons too big so they didn't fit).
And yes - I like Total Commander/CE
24006 - 6.5.3 - no manila and htc stuff - titanium only. best battery-life, relatively good speed
28232 - 6.5.5 - no manila and htc stuff - titanium only. good battery-life, god speed
6.1 + Manila 2.1 - best combo for manila roms... relatively fast, but compared to win-only device... you think that it freezed sometimes when you are waiting for manila contacts, which are worse and unglier than win 6.5.* by default.
Depends on your needs... if you like social network engine, take manila one but choose faster and older sys. If you want to work and run programs mostly on your phone, then i recommend win-only rom. The best (and nearly only) way how to obtain it is to cook it. Try the Ervius kitchen here, it is ok - after 2-3 evenings you have your own baby-rom
is it good to set up another poll for UI shell choices for reference for chefs? like manila 2.1, sense 2.1, sense 2.5, titanium, clean (for spb mobile shell)...
Have tried a lot of ROMs of all flavors, but I somehow always end with some variant of 6.1
I still might choose some 6.5.x variant (currently have an eye on Miniterror's Ravage and Wajk's blackSTONEhenge)
I use 6.5.5.24001 titanium.
Pros: Very stable, fast, no memory management problems, very good battery life, polished graphics, finger friendly.
Cons: Some programs have problems with bottom toolbar, but such is life!
By the way, here is a good tip for handling the non-visible ok/close button: Just map it to the tap and hold function of the call button! This way, when you have an app that won't display properly, simply tap and hold the call button until the app is closed/minimized!
Bottom Line: 24001 is really rock solid in terms of memory management, thus I prefer this over a more compatible/conventional OS that has to be restarted every two days due to memory leaks!
Enjoy!
It's either WM6.1 & Sense 2.5 or WM6.5.5 & Sense 2.1 for me.

What wm6.1 and sense 2.5 rom are you using?
I like to use 6.5 with sense 2.5, as the windows 6.5 is stable and sense 2.5 has now got quicker on roms
i like windows 6.1 more bug free than 6.5.5
but 6.5.5 have nice bottom toolbar... more fingger friendly i think

Stupid things in 6.5 & 6.5.x
Despite some minor improvement in 6.5 and 6.5.x in compare with 6.1, it’s so strange to me why Microsoft always forget some basic assumptions and doing very stupid modifications?! For example I cannot understand why in 6.5 and 6.5.x drop down start menu which is contained recent opened application is missed, while it was so useful!
Another Foolishness thing is the new lock screen! Why instead of locking the home screen or today screen which is contained user required information, a new lock screen created? And then due to the shortage of information in lock screen many developers are working to make it as complete as possible!? Also why there is a lock button just in Start menu page? If it’s useful to be available, why it does not exist in other pages?
Anyway, it’s always been fault of Microsoft! Day after day creating new things, but loosing basic concepts like ease of usage and simplicity. You can see this matter from moving from XP to Vista and then to W7!
I wish somebody were exists in Microsoft to listen to the customers carefully and check their ideas by himself.
it isn't very hard to figure out why they changed the lockscreen *whisperes something about Apple and the iPhone*
