To enable "old" LargeMenu (Disable new manila start menu):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu\Enable ManilaStartMenu =dword:00000000

To show favorites programs page on manila:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila\Manila://programs.page.hidden =dword:00000000

This will revert new Manila with old Start Menu.....

This was taken from Hellonasty rom thread.

Next time do a better search.

I've mapped the back key on double press, under the drop down list in AE buttonplus settings "25. Start Menu" for your reference I'm using miri's v10 wm 6.5 not sure if this will also work on the new HTC New Start Menu in wm 6.1 topaz based roms??
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hassler:
thank you so much

I cannot get myself used to the so-called NEW start menu :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ubik:
well, on 6.1 topaz roms it just calls the old windows mobile start menu :(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
If you stick with the new start menu and use the following cab to turn the long list of apps into a row of 4, I'm sure you'll find that the new start menu is actually better. Well it is in my opinion. Just stick with it!! ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cimbom:
is there old notification menü cab please
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Don't need cab. Open Task manager > Click on top right drop down menu > Services > and hold down on Notification Manger(NTFO:) and set to manual instead of automatic. Soft reset phone. You should now have old notifications. To revert back, follow same process and set to automatic
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hassler:
heheh

the first impression always judges ;)

at first I cannot find the Owner Info -> cannot register my programs -> huh what's wrong with this new menu huh?

2ndly I couldnt get into the remove program, and many small things in Settings tab

Maybe next time I'll try your row of 4 to see whether I could stick with new tech or not :p

anyway, thanks!!!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
You can do all of the above. Click on start menu > Setting > All settings and you are presented with original settings page

As easy as that!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jgal:
Reverting to new start menu???

Could someone please help me? Ive used the cab to change to old start menu but I dont like it. I would like to go back to the new one, but changing the registry values seem to only screw up things as my start software and hardware buttons dont work at all!!!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TSanya1979:
Hello!

First, sorry my bad english :)

I have bought my samsung i780 just for a week. I would like to connect it to my laptop to update the contacts and save the pictures. I installed the ms activesync 4.5 and plugged in the data cable (type: APCBS10BBE and also tried APCBS10UGE). The windows sent me an error message about could not recognise the phone. I have not installed any specific usb driver. I tried plug in and out the cable more times (about 10-15) and once there was a success, the synchronisation was fine. Everytime when i try to connect, i have to repeat the plug in/out procedure about 10-15 times... I am afraid, this is the i780 usb connectors fault :( Is there any other possibility to fix the problem whithout change the connector?

Could you be so kind to give me some advices?

Thanks

TSanya

[Touch HD Accessories] Ally153:
Hey people,

I tried connecting my Jabra320 up to my Touch HD the other day. The headset should support A2DP for stereo bluetooth, which worked with my old Touch Dual, however, whenever I try adding the headset to my HD I can only see the hands free profile.

Anyone had any problems with A2DP or any ideas how to fix this?

I was thinking about getting a Sony Ericsson headset, but don't want to commit to the investment until I know that I can use the A2DP profile...

I'm using Dutty's v2.5 rom and the v1.12 radio.
[Touch HD Accessories] tunppi:
Same problem with new duttys roms. It shows me both wireless stereo and handsfree but when i try only to connect A2DP it disconnects. Worked fine on older duttys roms.

I have Jabra 620s
[Touch HD Accessories] Ally153:
You're getting a little further than I - I domn't see the 'Wireless Stereo' option at-all. Well I believe Dutty is releasing a new ROM soon. Hopefully it'll be fixed then. If not I'll mention the problem when it comes out - hopefully Dutty or someone will find a fix.

Thanks though for confirming I'm not the only one with this problem!
[Touch HD Accessories] ixiao123:
Hope you guys has fixed your problem. if not, let me tell you how to fix it.

I had the same issue before. now it works.

1. make sure your headset is power off and delete the connection on your cellphone.

2. connect your charger to the headset for 4 seconds, then disconnect it.

3. repeat step2 4 times.

4. after that, your headset will be reset. then, reconnect to your cell phone and you will see wireless stereo function enabled.
[Touch HD Accessories] dfkd:
What I have discovered on my A2DP headphones (Philips SHB7100) is that when I power them on it will automatically connect but only with wireless headset (phone calls only) functionality.

What I have to do is go to the touchflo settings tab, select Menu> Bluetooth Devices and disconnect then reconnect the headset. Once I do that it connects for both A2DP and phone calls.

I also have a Jabra "Dogtag" headset and it ALWAYS reconnects with both automatically unlike the Philips set, so I suspect this also has something to do with the headset itself and not just the OS/ROM.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Melkor:
:D...you really thought that HTC would do that!? If you thought that you were a dreamer! They like to sell new phones and not an old phone like the Kaiser ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Paulplex:
Windows Mobile 6.5 works on QVGA?

Out of interest, are any of the devices that will 'officially' be running Windows Mobile 6.5 QVGA? From what I see, the versions of 6.5 cooked into ROMS here are tweaked to fit on the smaller 320x240 screen - but the Touch Diamond 2 and Pro 2 are both WVGA devices with an 800x460 screen resolution aren't they?

If the 'proper' version of 6.5 is designed to work on VGA devices or better only, it's not surprising that HTC aren't planning on offering upgrades to older devices that don't support the higher resolutions. Sure, it can be made to work on older handsets - but not in the way Microsoft probably envisioned for their new release...

I might be wrong and I have my asbestos "flame-proof" jacket on, so I'm ready for the backlash ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gardndj:
Actually, Microsoft has said that it will allow official upgrades on current 6.1 devices as long as they have a 400mhz processor and 128mb ram (plus the windows start key). The Kaiser meets all of those requirements, so it is eligible for an upgrade, but that would be at the discretion of HTC/carriers. I doubt that we will ever see an official upgrade due to the age of the Kaiser, but you never know.

More importantly, though, is whether it even matters. Do we even need an official 6.5 for the Kaiser to build off of, or can we do an equal/better job with the dumped 6.5 roms already being ported to our phone? I guess that would be a question I would put to our chefs out there.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
Would it really be an 'upgrade' though if HTC provided it?

If the HTC Official WWE WM 6.1 'upgrade' for the TyTN II is anything to go by, I'd run a mile from any HTC provided WM 6.5 release for the TyTN II anyway. Apart from the fact there were so many bugs in the official WM 6.1 upgrade when compared to the relatively stable WM 6.0, it's clear from HTCs continual refusal to provide full (not partial) graphics driver support for even much newer devices, that they don't learn lessons from the past (or if they do, they don't act on them).

Given the TyTN IIs age now, I suspect if there was a further upgrade to come even the apprentice programmers' time would be considered to valuable for such a task and GPS, graphics performance and things like screen flashes when coming out of standby (all things still not fixed after nearly a year since the first WM 6.1 upgrade was released) would take a very low priority. I could be proven wrong but I don't have much faith that the HTC leopard would change its spots :rolleyes:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Paulplex:
Wow, HTC Leopard? I liked my original Hermes, now love my Kaiser - can't wait to try the Leopard :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
I hope people don't misinterpret what I wrote, I believe the TyTN II was groundbreaking in its day and it certainly offered the right combination of features that other devices didn't have together in the one package. The problem is that there are a number of inexactitudes when comparing the actual device with all the advertising that was out for the device when first released (what I relied on for my purchase decision). Both advertiising from HTC and from Qualcomm the chip maker. Since then I've seen no indication that HTC is interested in maximising all the potential in this device to try and live up to those advertising claims and if anything their UK released ROM upgrade for my device actualy makes it worse. It's a sad state of affairs where a buggy 'upgrade' still hasn't been fixed nearly a year later and I'm fed up with sending letters to HTC which aren't listened to (not to mention the thousands of online petition signatories requesting full driver support for the embedded hardware actually on the device).

As someone who has worked as a computer technician I can tell you it is truely scandalous to release a product complete with an OS that doesn't have full driver support for embedded graphics acceleration and any full sized PC provider would not get away with it. Not only then but also the fact they haven't since come along with an update to address these concerns - hence my lack of faith in this company.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gardndj:
I would assume HTC's refusal to release system drivers would have to do with NDA's they signed with the various component manufacturers. I'm also relatively new to the world of XDA (but not winmo), so I would assume that this topic has been discussed to death on this site before.

@Flying Kiwi: I only had the Hermes for three weeks before I found a kickin deal on a Kaiser, but I have to agree it was a good phone. However, the upgrade to the Kaiser from the Hermes was worth the little extra I paid, if only for the gps and increased ram.

Not to get off topic, but does anyone else find Age of Empires to be incredibly addictive on a PDA?
[Touch HD General] RobTheRover:
OK, OK, I know the "issues" folks are having with the HD have been done to death, but I just wanted to add my two penneth to the mix.

My story is unremarkable in that I've bought a HD last week as a replacement for a Kaiser (which went pop and is with HTC for repair as I type), and despite all the glitz and snazz of the huge screen, the slim form, etc, I'm rather missing my 18 month old Kaiser.

The lack of a physical keyboard is the biggest thing I'm struggling to adjust to, which might not be so bad if the software one worked properly. And the number of times the device restarts itself at the most inopportune moment would be frankly laughable if it werent so annoying.

So, I called the retailer and told them of the problems with it restarting itself (8 times yesterday - when texting, when prowsing the web, when reading a Word doc attachment, and numerous times when doing sod all but sitting on my desk!), and they offered to exchange it for me....... except they havent got any in stock!

So, to the crux of my post.... do I insist that the device is not fit for purpose and demand that my deal and airtime agreement is cancelled (I've not put the supplied SIM card in yet so I'm within my rights to cancel, it seems), and wait it out for a Touch Pro2? Or am I just a swapped handset away from Touch HD nirvana?

Your opinions and advice would be greatly appreciated!
[Touch HD General] markpud:
All I can say is you may have a dodgy device as mine has never reset itself in the way you describe...

And you can get used to the on-screen keyboard (well I did anyway) pretty fast.. have a play with the different keyboard options. I use the "phone keypad" in T9 mode and am much faster than with the full Qwerty one.
[Touch HD General] antrak:
I would honestly have to say... wait for the Touch Pro2. It isn't that far away and you can just use a cheap cell untill that time (I could! :P). If your struggling with the onscreen keyboard then the Touch Pro2 will be perfect for you, but still offering a screen size almost like the HD.

I have 1 year to go on my contract so! :p. But the problems you talked about are not normal, and if you decide not to wait for the Touch Pro2 I would swap it with a other one or file it for repair if you can't swap.
[Touch HD General] bigjee:
I don't understand how you guys buy a phone on a contract and blast the manufacturer (HTC in this case) for having a faulty, buggy phone.

maybe its because you guys don't have the foresight to see that the phones have operator supported apps and crap that isn't part of the original HTC rom.

operators put there own software on to these phones in order to link to their online homepages , etc. My HD came from Telstra and the first thing I did was remove that junk from the phone.

I don't know if you guys want to format your HTC and install fresh software on it, but one things for sure that you can't pass judgment on a product that has useless software put on it by the operator.

This forum is filled with countless happy HD users that continue to mod, upgrade their phones without such problems.

Try giving your phone a second chance by putting software that it was meant to run and not some third party crap.
[Touch HD General] wpr:
It does sound like you receivd a bad phone. Every manufacturer has them cross their lineup (Apple too) as no production run is perfect.

Personally I have had my HD for a number of months now and I am not overly gentle with it or to concerned about what software I load. I have never had any of the issues described here (from crashing to paint peeling).

I easily using the compact qwerty keyboard and can type faster on it than on the Kaiser. You will need to decide if you can make the adjustment. I had the same issue in moving from the Wizard to the Elf.
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Totally your call. I was used to my hermes keyboard and decoded to go for the HD. At first I was disappointed with a number of things...i.e. no keyboard, no camera flash amongst others. But I knew this before I bought it!!!

It was the same with my Hermes. I got rid of the crap software, rom etc and flashed a better rom, better software and hey presto I had a better phone.

I have also done this with the Balckstone and I'm glad to say I have almost got it to exactly the way I want it!!

There is plenty of 3rd party apps out there to improve your phone, one for example would be finger keyboard 2.1 which almost as good as having a qwerty keyboard.

In the end mate, its your call. ;)
[Touch HD General] dao:
It's your choice but:

I had to send my first one back cos I couldn't get a signal. Orange replaced it no questions and since then I haven't had to reset at all (bout 4 weeks now).

All in all i'm happy with the device and have it running reasonably well with the stock rom with the help of all the people on here. Video, once converted, is superb and high quality for such a device, call quality good, not really tried the camera as I don't take that many pics but office runs fine as I use most of the apps.
[Touch HD General] Cheesy Dave:
Hmmm, sounds like you have a duff phone. Send it back.

I also had a Kaiser which was good but the HD is so much better. I have NEVER had a soft reset unexpectedly.

I do not type huge amounts so the keyboard is not a big need. I do want the slim form factor of the HD.

I had for a few days an early Omnia - this did the mystery soft reset nonsense many times in the short time I had it. I returned it and bought a Tytn II.

HD is really robust, great screen, good battery, and very stable. I recommend you return the bad one you have.
[Touch HD General] Sideburnt:
Seriously buddy, I use the Phone Keypad option under SIP and it takes me way back to my old Nokia, I've gone from pissing around with a stupid slide out keyboard on my Kaiser which involved a lot of attention, to walking along touch typing on my Touch HD, the differnece is massive. Slide out keyboards sound like a good idea until you're sitting there interfacing with it like a fecking laptop, that pissed me off.
[Touch HD General] astromark:
I must admit I wasn't very impressed with mine when I first got it. I copied some MP3s over to test out music playing and it crashed, and kept crashing. And everything kept crashing: phone app, mail app, music app... Not impressive in the first half hour with nothing else installed!

Anyway since flashing to a different ROM (Dutty 2.6 at the moment) I have had absolutely no problem, so god knows what Orange have done to their ROM.

As for keyboard, try fingerkeyboard and SPB's Keyboard. I can type about as fast as I ever did on my Tytn 2's real keyboard - and without the extra bulk!

(I think I've said before, my Tytn never crashed or needed an unforced reboot once as far as I can recall in 18 months; both my ipods crash regularly, one of them, daily. My conclusion is that the WinMo platform is pretty stable.)

Don't know who your operator is but try and get it changed.
[Touch HD General] rameses2:
Sorry to hear about your HD problems, like you I was eager to upgrade to what I thinks is a great phone, I got mine as an upgrade but fortunately mine does not have a provider rom in it, its a straight htc phone. had mine 18 days and it stopped charging. Contacted my supplier they where happy to exchange but had no stock, or i could cancell and send phone back.

I contacted HTC, they arranged pickup of phone, did repair, well no they basically replaced everything in the case and sent it back all within 5 days.

Now my phone works great, and the more I read about how adaptable this phone is the more I like it.

as for keybords i have downloaded and tried many, but I now use touchpal compact keyboard, even my large stuby thumbs mange to type quickly.

Send it back get a good one and start again I am sure you will not be dissapointed.

and while I think about it did you now that HTC phones have a manufactures warranty of two years? that means my phone is warranted past my contract period, good news........

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] antrak:
Heh no problem, thought you didn't mind. I also mirrored it as most people don't really like the rapidshare links, you could add the mirror to your original post aswell if you want. Yeah I read that in the original post, really waited a long time for the WVGA version of the concept theme as it just looks awesome. Flashing my device now to a very stripped ROM and gonna install it. :D, how are interface transitions and such at the moment?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] dgen:
Everything is pretty responsive. Although not as fast as the original for the omnia...but still fast enough for me.

However when going from the lock screen to the home screen, wad 2 might not respond for like 1 or 2 seconds (dnno why :p )

So please have a bit patience so you won't be tapping around your screen (and so opening apps or tabs you don't want to open :p )

Mirror added btw :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] antrak:
Alright great. Well the looks alone will make it worthwhile :D. Currently at hard-resetting my device and then I'll get to installing the tens of cabs that I have x.x.

Whats the res for the Manga and FMRadio pictures btw? Want to put something else there. :p

You done a really great job mate, looks superb!

---EDIT--

Okay... I just got out of bed to say this... this is officialy the most AWESOME theme I ever used. I get completely smooth transitions so it might just be your HD or rom you have (have the stock rom?). It's just superb, now I'm off to bed again to map all the buttons to the correct programs but really... this is just insane, I'm speechless. It's beautifull!

A thousand times thanks dgen, if you ever need anything just send a PM, I feel like I'm in your debt. :D
