[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smotrs:
I was able to get both the Rhodium and Leo menu to work on mine with version 21054. Had to install the Fancarl Loader to do it though, wouldn't work without it.

I also noticed that to get either one working, I had to install or uninstall in a certain way to try either one.

For instance, I first tried the Leo for 6.1

Install the Fancarl Loader

Reset

Install Leo Menu Enhancement

Reset

To switch between the different menus or try another menu pack, was a bit more involved.

For instance, to try the Rhodium for 6.1 after using the Leo, I had to do the following,

Uninstall Leo menu Enhancement

Reset

Uninstall Fancarl Loader

Reset

Install Fancarl Loader

Reset

Install Rhodium Menu Enhancement

Reset

If all I did was uninstall the Leo Menu Enhancement then install the Rhodium Menu Enhancement. The menu would no longer function. When I say no longer function, I mean, even the original 6.1 menu would no longer work. The menu soft button would flash acknowledging that I pressed it, but no menu would be displayed.

If I didn't do exactly as I describe above for switching between menus, then it wouldn't work.

Has anyone tried the Opera trick? if the menu's arent' loading try opening opera and opening it's menu. see if that will work. it's the only way i can get it to work on mine. 23420 on i910
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smotrs:
dharvey, I don't know if there's any interest or not, but here's the Rhodium 6.1 version with Sprint theme, i.e. Yellow bar instead of Green. All I did was modify the BMP and replace the green bar portions with the yellow bar from my Sprint TP.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smotrs:
Thought I would share a screen shot as well.

This shows the Rhodium enhancement on the File Explorer program but using the Sprint theme instead of the green bar.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dharvey4651:
Awesome. Will link to your post on page 1.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] astart_start:
With the menu launcher,

ALL OF YOUR CAB cannot wake and use.

Please check the cab that you cab as i'd like to use your cab to modify.

My project is in my signature. Please have a kind look=)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xiahongze:
Thx

you soft is great!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smotrs:
Not sure if your project is the same, but the CAB by itself would NOT work on mine without installing the francarl Menu Loader listed in the first post.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] astart_start:
Of course I try it but cannot use -_-

I change the CUIHandler.dll and HTCScroll2.dll, it works, the .cab is on my post under the signature.

nice thread, thx for you work!

EDIT:

Some fix for WM6.5.x these Builds with the small topbar?

On my Build the background shadow is not in right position.

Somebody know how to fix it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rvdgeer:
Looks great...

Seems like it's not working on a pda without phone (Dell Axim X51v)...

I'm on WM6.1 and have tried the launchers, but there's no menu anymore...

Even tried the install order sugested by smotrs, but no success...

I'm probably missing files because it's not a phone...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] astart_start:
Try my enhancement

There is some problem about the CUIhandler.dll for non-HTC machine

The link is in my signature.

I don't think we can edit the top bar as it is a matter of CUIhandler.dll

The method of displaying the menu starts from centre instead of the botton bar.

We can just wait for newer HTC machine...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eric12341:
NONE of these work for me, i have 6.1 (21054) on htc touch pro, i dont kno what im doing wrong

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sulphuricaciduk:
Maybe I've missed something but I can't seem to get it to work on my phone.

It's a Touch Pro and the ROM build is 21009 (LantisOS v4.02). I uninstalled FingerMenu and it's DLLs before installing, but no joy.

Any ideas? Thanks.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] htctoucher:
ther any chance this will work on an htc touch sprint official 6.1 rom?

i dont want to flash a new rom just for these enhancements from the rhodium, but they are super sweet :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dharvey4651:
First this is VGA and the Sprint Touch is QVGA and so there is one problem. Second is that the Sprint Official ROM is only 19208 build and this will only work on 21000 or higher builds.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sheennick123456:
can any one try this??

i tried to modify it to QVGA

not sure if it works or not

i cant test it because i made a ROM with rhodium xip and sys

but for strang reasons cab files are not working....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anryl:
tested on 21176 u getting there some bugs in grafic still present

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] intothevoid:
Sweeeet. This is working and looking nice. THANKS!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GadgetFreak:
It only works on WM builds grater than 21000 and only for WVGA and VGA for now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] htctoucher:
is there even a 2100 rom that works for sprint touch?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] omegax013:
NFSFAN's is 21014 I believe.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GadgetFreak:
I'm using that one too. Now all we need is for this to get re-sized for QVGA...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mbarvian:
actually, it's quite opposite. I think francarl made FingerMenu to clone HTC's menus in TouchFLO 3d and the SIP changer in the first Diamond/Touch Pro. They've just now made it for every application :)

good work on this, will hopefully get it working for QVGA ;), if only we could get an official rom download for the diamond2/touchpro2...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aussiebum:
The X1's a WVGA device + was released around the same time as the BlackStone, so was hoping it would work (but unfortunately it doesn't, even with the HTCScroll.dll since the default rom is only build 19608).

Yeah I'm aware of what the gwes.exe process does... rather than needing a newer version of gwes.exe maybe what's really required are newer HTC api dll's or something.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Fraction:
Thx!

It works like a charm! :D

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ND4SPD:
This works on WM6.5 build 21176. I've just tested it on a build that I ported to the Touch Diamond. Nice!

EDIT: Sorry, didn't see someone already reported the same thing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] refthemc:
Great little app, i hope someone ports it to QVGA soon
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike21pr:
is there even a good rom for cdma touch pro on those builds??

Blue Highlight???

Using this on my att fuze with energy rom 1.5 and wow is it fast and fluid! Crazy fast and perfect! Only thing for me, can you change the green highlight color to a dark blue? Everything on my phone as far as highlights go are a dark blue and adding this would make it flawless for me. Maybe just a simple cab to change the highlight color to a dark blue? Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dharvey4651:
Let me see what I can do.

Ugh PhotoShop is being a pain...

This is the file that needs to be edited in order to achieve a blue highlight:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deeznuts:
Thanks but i really wouldnt know where to begin. Maybe if someone could use this and make different highlight color cabs for us im sure many here would greatly appreciate it. From what ive seen with this app is that it works perfect on my fuze. Finishing touch id say is to release other versions, ie. qvga, etc and also create other highlight colors for customizing. Other than that and id say this app is perfect! Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] htctoucher:
its not that hard, if you want to simply change the color all you have to do is go into photoshop and:

place a fill layer over the background image and select its blending options to "color", then mess with the fill layer transparency and color until it looks like you want it

or unlock the layer and go into the effects, go into color overlay, select it to "color" and change the color to whatever color makes the highlight look as you want it

that should do it, just adjust the color of the overlay until it looks like you want it ;)

hope that helps :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deeznuts:
U lost me on the second sentence bro. Ive never used photoshop before. Thanks for going into detail for me though. I dont even know if my home comp has photoshop, its a cheap walmart computer so ill assume not. At work now so cant check.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ruizit0:
hum ... try this if it suit your needs :)

(dont forget to rename files)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deeznuts:
Omg perfect! The one in the middle was exactly what i wanted, thank you! Im assuming just rename and drop in the windows dir?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deeznuts:
I deleted the b2 in the file name so it just reads as htcmenus.png. I then used tc to copy it in the windows folder, soft reset, and nothing. Then using tc i searched for where the heck the original file is so i can overwrite it with this one. I then found a file, HTCMenus.bmp in the windows folder. I then renamed the file exactly to that changing the png to bmp and overwrote it, soft reset, now the menu wont even pop up. Gonna re install the app now but exactly what do i rename the file to and where do i copy it to to be overwritten? Thanks.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sian:
Just curious, this cab will cause all the menu to be display as per what's display in post 1 rather than what Window come up with is it?

Is it uninstallable, and return things to normal? Or it will overwrite the original one that comes with Blackstone?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ruizit0:
the original filename acording with the image posted by dharvey4651 ... is "htcmenus.png" .. so you have to rename my edited files to that name.. i suposed... :)

dont know where the file is located to overwrite .. i have an kaiser.. cant test it :) .. read previous posts

Doesn't work on a Touch Diamond with udK R1 ROM, build 21028...

No problem/instability whatsoever, but still it's the same old menu style...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Georgeous2008:
I have read the whole thread, so here are my remaining questions :

1) What exactly does a 21000+ build have that a lower build version doesn't have ?

2) Can this be fixed in the mid-term or is upgrading your WM build via flashing a new ROM the only "option" ?

3) What exactly happens if you install this on a lower build version device and can it be uninstalled without any trouble ?

As for the FingerMenu 1.10, despite its lower speed compared to the HTC version, it still has the huge advantages that it works on most devices, it is skinnable and you can turn it off in case of incompatibility or for your convenience. Those are pretty fair advantages, aren't they ? ;)

Tried it on Elfin, sorry, doesn't work. Menus don't show up at all anymore. Removing the cab puts everything back to normal again.

Good luck, looking forward to this enhancement.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sian:
How do we check the build of the ROM? For THD, the ROM version is 1.18xxx (2xxxxx). Is it the number in the "(...)" ?

Tried but it cause my THD to have difficulty waking up after soft reset. :( Deleted it cos' menu no change. Maybe my ROM is not 21000 and above.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] guizzzmo:
French

The same CAB just in french ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deeznuts:
Exactly what i was thinking. Usually something like this would be in windows directory as well but it seems not to be. In windows directory there is a "HTCMenus.bmp" file exactly like that but no png file. Leaves leaves me with no where to overwrite, any ideas? Maybe the creator of this thread will let us know. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ems275:
There are only 2 graphics files in the install .cab, they are both .bmp files and install to the \windows directory. So just rename the .png file and copy to windows and overwrite it, that's what I did and it works fine.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ems275:
Tried your .cab on my HTC Touch (Vogue) WM 6.1 with a 2100 build and it works great, alot better than the modded one I tried. The only one problem I have found is that on some of the menus that have a greater number and you have to scroll the top and bottom panels that are dark grey on the OEM version and have the up/down arrows the graphics are not aligned correctly, I get grey and white stripes (kind of). That is the only graphic I find messed up. You also need to add HTCScroll.dll and the associated Regestry Entries from the original .cab in post #1 to be able to scroll up and down with the arrows. I added them manually and it works great.

Thanks for your work on this QVGA version, if you need any more help or testing let me know. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GadgetFreak:
Looks like we're getting closer to a QVGA version that works. I'll give this a try after I pull a back up on my Touch Vogue.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sheennick123456:
OKkk

here i have added HTCscroll and its registry keys

i strongly believe that the messy arrows you have talked about must be related to registry values

i currently dont have any ROM with build 21xxx

i will work on the graphic issues on weekend

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ems275:
Thanks for adding the HTCScroll.

I am also looking at the Registry to try and pinpoint the top / bottom bar graphics issues, I'll keep you posted if I figuire it out before you get to it this weekend, so an fully working QVGA version can be posted.

EDIT: i think i have understand that you have rebuild your rom with the folder of gwes.exe from higher build in the folder SYS/OS, isn't it ?

Re-name to ...? The only 2 graphics files ive found are HTCMenus.bmp and htcmenus_mask.bmp exactly like that. I tried changing the desired png file to HTCMenus.bmp, then overwrote it in windows directory using total commander, soft reset, now the app wont work at all. When pressing menu on any program nothing will come up. I then have to re-install the cab to be back at square one on my htc fuze.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deeznuts:
The author says this is the file to be edited which is htcmenus.png. Problem is, there is no htcmenus.png at all. There is a HTCMenus.bmp and HTCMenus_mask.bmp though. I would assume this is the HTCMenus file and not the mask. Here is the file attached that I would like to work for me. Any help on doing so or the proper name to rename the file? Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deeznuts:

Geez, such a simple but hard task i swear! Well i opened my png, renamed and saved it as htcmenus.bmp, then overwrote it in windows directory, soft reset, now i get this! Any help please?

Sorry, that is what I meant to say you must rename it by taking out the b2 or whatever was put there then convert to .bmp, not rename it to .bmp. I have used this new image in both VGA and QVGA and get the same image your talking about. I also get it with the default in QVGA, something is not aligning correctly in the graphic file to the positioning in the registry. Still trying to find where the problem is. Will update you when I track it down. :)

from what i can tell, the new skin isn't aligned correctly to match the original skin. if you compare both side by side, you'll notice that their locations don't match and extra things were added to the new skin that weren't in the original.

QVGA Working @ 99.98% Now...

Downloaded It, Tried It, Didn't Like It...:(

OKAY -QVGA????? It's More Simple Than Not....

So, Finally This Is My First Contribution To The Community....:D

I Have An HTC Touch/Vogue Running NFSFAN's WM 6.1 Sprint 1.09 Rom (Build 21014)...

I Edited The "HTCMenus.bmp" File To Get Rid Of The Top And Bottom Of The Menu Showing All That Garbage...

So, For Now, The End Result Is A Square Menu In The Middle Still Maintaining Scrolling Functionality...

Because I Like How Much Faster And Smoother This Is Than Finger Menu...

I Will Be Continuing To Modify This File To Get To The Full Desired Effect For QVGA Devices...

This Is Just A Quick Fix For Now... 90%:cool:

**********************************************************************************

EDIT: Done 99.98%:) Still Need To Tiddy Up Some Edges;)

Instructions:

1.) Download And Install The Cab From Below

2.) BackUp/Rename "HTCMenus.bmp" In Your /Windows/ Folder

3.)

Replace

It With My Modified Copy Of "HTCMenus.bmp" In The Zip Below

4.) Soft Reset

5.) Done...

Remember:

You must have a 21000 OR HIGHER build on your device in order for this menu extension to work. Do not attempt to install this on any older builds because it won't work.

You May Also Notice That My Font Is Smaller Too, You Can Modify This Via Your Registry....

>> HKLM/Software/HTC/HTCMenus/FontSize <<

I Set Mines To 12 (0x00000c), However 20 Is Optimal Until I Figure Out How To Raise The Character Length

********************************************************************************

Edit: You May Loose Scrolling Ability If You Just Overwrite The File... To Get It Back Do A Soft Reset

Madd Thanks To: Dharvey and btxakita....

***** EDIT: Cab File Updated - Scrolling/Arrows Back *****

Previous Downloaders Can Re-download Cab File....
