Anyone knows how to fix the Home button bug when cooking BlackStone ROM with Rhodium manila OEM packages ? The Home button actually works but instead of taking the user to the Home screen it takes to the previous state in Manila. I have seen this has been reported in various custom ROM threads and I've seen some chefs fixing this problem, however I did not find anyone sharing a solution to this bug yet. I bet it's gonna be some RGU setting I missed.. Anyone having experience with this ?
S.
RESOLVED: Install the following cab from here

I doubt it is a reg setting alone. It is most likely a value which has to be edited from one the of the manila files as the hardware buttons are different on the rhodium. I'm trying to fix the the gsensor on/off in settings tab. The problem is the value coming from manila is it report the value of 1 for on which is correct, but reports a 2 for off which should be a 0. I don't know which manila file to edit.

Thanks Onkolog I will look in to these.
Great!
I have a problem with the GSensor as well! Davide advised to switch back to original BlackStone OEM package, but that did not help at all. When launching the GSensor calibration, the waterlevel bars are frozen. Anyways, if you find a solution to that or to my Home HW button mentioned above, please share

And yes, I agree with you bobsbbq, the Topaz/Rhodium manila behaves different as the Hardware Buttons are different as well. From the attached screenshot you can see that on the Topaz device, the End key is the Home key as well! And if you cook in Topaz's manila into BlackStone ROM, it behaves the same way. While on call the end key will end the call, but on every other situation it behaves as the Home key on my BlackStone. So what we have to find is a way to redefine in manila to bring up the Home screen when the actual Blackstone's Home key (instead of the End key) is pressed

And IMHO it's much better like that...
The consequece is that in Touch HD we will have one button more which could be redirected to something else
So, instead of forcing the home button to become the "Home" button, why not forcing it to something else as the End button is already redirecting to "Home" screen.
HastaSSSS
hi, i just installed L26 V9 and the home button works for me in all but calendar, music and settings, it works with my installed apps too. the end key does it when the home button doesn't.

Does that mean that mean, if you press the HW Home button, will it take you to the Manila Home screen and not just to the previous visible manila page ?
Pls try this example: Go to "Photos and Videos" tab, and tap on any picture to see it in a slideshow, then press the HW Home button. If it takes you back to the Manila Homescreen wiht the clock and not back to the "Photos and Videos" tab instead, then our friend Laurentius found a solution to this
For me it's wrong manila setting.......
If youu disable manilla from today ,home and back key work perfectly
with original biotouch.dll
Rhodium manila package home and back key are inverted
Topaz Manila Package home and key are "ok/close (back) function"
other informations:
with Biotouch.dll from topaz change the hardware Key configuration,but on Hd dont work correctly
Yes, I did the same! I cooked in the Topaz Manila Package along with the Topaz TouchFLO3D package and my hardware buttons weren't working at all. Replacing the biotouch.dll with the one from BlackStone's OEM fixed this problem except the mentioned HW Home button bug. I agree it must be either manila's setting or the biotouch.dll itself. But my bet is, it's the manila! Since the HW buttons behaves different on Topaz and Rhodium manila. And if it is indeed manila, the remaining question is, which if the many hundreds of manila files to edit ???
hi, today i'm wondering, if i was launching my apps from homescreen/start menu. when hitting the home button would this then take me back to homescreen ? if i launch apps from anywhere/start, then hit home button, i go back to anywhere. the home button is not functioning properly.

Really!! Well what do you think this tread its about? Reread the title again.
In the Rhodium ROM, if the back key is the home key and vice versa. Can´t this be fixed quite easily?
We need to find the correct manila file that handles this. The one of the many 2105 manila files...

Great work my friend, Which files was it in? Out of curiosity? I have not had time to work on the GSensor been too busy. Did you look into this one?
I know in the new roms the new start menu is included which is part of the new manilla but some people dont like it and prefer to use the original HTC enlarged start menu. I have the latter and want to go back to the new start menu. I know there is a registry edit to enable it again or maybe a cab file?
I have searched for "start menu" but keep coming up with answers about original menu.
Many thanks. I have Davide HP v4 rom.

Thanks I installed and reset. When I tap on the start menu I do get the black Start manilla page but no apps are listed. Its just a black page with the word Start top middle. Any ideas?
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.
I recently bought TD2, and is by no means a big fan of the new startmenu. How is it possible to replace it with the "old" one ?
I've been searching the forum, since I've heard of a little program that can fix this issue, but without luck .
Thanks in advance !
The new start menu comes as part of Touch Flo 3D.....If you distable TF3D in settings\personal\today\items, you get the old menu system.
I'm amazed that anyone would prefer the old WM one.

There are two great lacks in the new menu :
1. too few items available in the 'icons' start page, and no kind of sub-folders or program groups.
then
2. if you go in the full list because your program is not in the icons page, the list can be long and fastidious.
Hope it will be corrected in next version and be available for D2, or windows 6.5 titanium/CHome will replace TF3D
Try TF3D2 Tweak in this thread

Thank you all, for your replies .
If you just want to change the start menu but leave Manila turned on, just change the following in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu\Enable ManilaStartMenu =dword:00000000
After a restart you have the old start menu
Is it possiple too keep both ways?
I mean when you press the start menu on the top of the screen to have the old start menu and when you press the windows hard key to have the new one?
I think this would be more usefull for many people who like the new menu but want some features of the old one!

Ah right, I see. I've not hit that issue, I guess I just don't use that many programs!
One question: how can I enable the old style like in WM 6.1.
I use 6.5 without Manilla (UDK R1.)
It's annoying to select start/settings/connections if you want to set more the 1 thing...bluetooth, WIFI etc....also for programs.
Or how can I customize the start menu in 6.5 ...order, content...
another way
This would keep the new start menu when you tap on "start" and make pop-up a replica similar whith the old one when you tap on windows or whatever icon you have on the upper left corner of the screen near the text "start". I didn't make this just downloaded from somewhere.

Doesn't seem to work on my Diamond2. (Does nothing)
I was wondering if someone could do a buttom like the settings buttom in the new start menu that could open the old programs menu.
I think this shouldn't be so difficult, since there is a similar buttom for the settings.
Welcome here Liviu. (Bine ai venit pe aici, marfa site-u pt HTC-uri)
I try it Quick Menu, it's like Windows PC START menu and it's hard to use with a finger
I speak about the old menu from WM6.1 not Pc windows...
Ksara it's works on TD2 I try it and work well but it's not what I want.
You are right Pauln, it's not finger friendly but hei! that stylus is there so ...
Anyway for me it does the job so here is a pic for those who want an alternative. The icon "Quick menu" you will find also in Programs.

I'm one of them. I disabled touchflo and installed spb pocket plus: I've got everything in sight, with no need to flip over strange desktops and icons!
I found these registry entries somewhere else and i thing these are the key to make a shortcut in manila programs folder to the old Programs folder Just like there is for the settings folder (number 3)
"Remove the locked program tab items
Code:
HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/ProgramLauncher/0/IsReadOnly
HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/ProgramLauncher/1/IsReadOnly
HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/ProgramLauncher/2/IsReadOnly
HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/ProgramLauncher/3/IsReadOnly
Change this value from 1 to a 0 and you can then edit their shortcuts."
Please someone who is familiar with this , create a shortcut.

i wanna remap my x-panel button to the start menu (right now its to the task manager)
how do i do this?
either that or how can i change the default left softkey button, i have it set to the start menu but the left softkey on the screen still shows something else. is it possible to change the default from "phone" to startmenu since we already have a phone-on button

Depend on the rom you're using.
To re-map the X-Panel button to Start menu:
[HKLM\Software\SonyEricsson\PanelManager]
ApplicationName = \Startmenue\skey.exe
That's I assume the skey.exe is already cooked in the rom
well im using 826x rom right now, i found out how to change the value for the softkey atleast.. and ill keep the taskmanager linked to the x-panel button since its pretty handy..
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila]
"HomeLSKText"=
"HomeLSKPath"=
i changed the text to "Start" but i need to get the path now, ill try "skey.exe"
edit: oh **** you created the 826x rom? hahaha nicee, what a coincidence
im using the latest test version, really like it.. it has some lockups now and then, usually when in landscape or when recieving a call..thought id let you know since its still in testing
anyway, that path doesnt exist for me..LOL but thanks for the info on remapping x-panel, im gonna map it to arkswitch
