it works fine with newest manila version (from mega release) and ezinput 2.1 from mega, maybe newest htc album will also work. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vigin:
Works for me, though at first it wouldnt, it sort of needed a kickstart. Menues started working after I opened third or forth app, afterwards they work flawless.

Good job.

hi man,

great work. I was wondering if you could do something similar with touch.dll and loading the HTC SIP changer for older devices ;)

francarl dd you try this with CUIHandler from the Mega packages? Doesn't seem to work for me
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] francarl:

i spoke too soon. it works with sys wm6.1 19974 rom, but only after you launch opera and use the opera menu once after a reset, then the menu enhancement would work. if i dont launch opera after a reboot and use opera menu, it wont work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blazingwolf:
If I do this then it works perfectly on my Omnia. If not I get the flashing menu title and no menu.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Wordsmith9091:
I'm running this on the "bloat-free" variation of the stock Raphael rom that's currently up in the Raph forum.

It works, using both the linked version of the HTC Menu Enhancement as well as the T-Mobile version with blue highlights -- BUT it stops working after just a little while. I hit the softmenu button and nothing happens. And uninstall/reinstall fixes it temporarily, but the problem returns after a little while.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] astart_start:
HI it is me again. after your reply, i install the cab and it is quite sucuessful to load the menu enhancer. But the menu can not display chinese character. However the fingerSuite can show chinese character....

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] francarl:
try to uninstall all (better if you hard-reset!) then install in this order

HTC Framework 1.1.19164030.00.cab

HTC Menu Enhancement 1.1.19163927.01.cab

from arnisk (these are packages from new htc mega/touch2)

and

HTCMenuLoader-BootLauncher.v.1.1

then softreset.

If menu does not work initially, open and close start menu, this will fix it.

I've not tested this!

Can the HTC menu enhancement and the loader support chinese character, as well as the fingersuite?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] francarl:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Wordsmith9091:
Spoke to soon. The problem did eventually surface with the non-HTC version as well. I press a softmenu button, it lights up, and no menu comes up. A reinstall of your cab fixes it.

Previously i tried yours loader and menu didnt work. Problem was

I made research and figured out that HTCUtil.dll causes problem.

Francarl, you should look at it. Think, it is an important info.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xenspidey:
I have this problem but i do not have HTCUtil.dll. The only way i've found to get it to work is to open up opera, open the menu and then close it. after that the menu's work perfectly until soft reset.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] francarl:
sorry for your problem. Actually I've the same problem, but I solve it ony opening start menu 1 time after boot (no need to start opera). Can you try, please?

I don't think that HTCUtil.dll have any role into this problem. But I'll further investigate on it. Remember that I've published source code, so if someone help will be very appreciated! thank you

Opening the start menu doesn't work. I've tried different apps but the only thing that works is opening Opera. I'm on Omnia i910 running WM6.5.1 23420 hybrid. Which could be the issue i guess. Thanks for all your work francarl!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xenspidey:
I've found another solution other than Opera... if you open up an application that has a drop down "folder list" i'll call it. like file explorer, the upper left drop down that will show directory structure. if you hit that the menu's will start working... which is a much better solution than Opera... francarl - any ideas? i'll keep looking into it.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raykisi:
Hi, all

I am here to comfirm that xenspidey's found was right and share some of my findings

In WM 6.5, you have to first open "file explorer" and press the upper left drop down menu to activite "HTC Menu Enhancement Loader v1.1", you can then press menu at bottom right and you will see HTC Menu Enhancement working

=================================================================

Both "stickfigure HTC Rhodium Menu Enhancement QVGA.cab" or the newer build in mega package can work in this way.

However, those newer builds in mega package have messed up graphics.

Solution: Install HTC Dshow

You could find my cabs in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4840659&postcount=103

"stickfigure HTC Rhodium Menu Enhancement QVGA.cab"

"HTC Menu Enhancement in mega package (Newer)" without "HTC Dshow"

"HTC Menu Enhancement in mega package (Newer)" + "HTC Dshow"

==================================================================

Another important point is that for newer build of Menu Enhancement (19123021 onwards)

by default, menu enhancement would checks to see if manila is running. If manila is disable or not installed, menu enhancement would be disabled too.

Thus, for newer build you would hv to add the following registry key to make it works without manila running

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCMenus]
"EnableManilaCheck"=dword:00000000
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] astart_start:
Very useful to me. I just think why F mention that it can wake but i am not!!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lkachun9129:

Oh you are so good that you give me a .cab for QVGA verison.

But if all the file in the HTC Dshow in useful.

There should be something irrevelant to the menu ie.the WMP plugin...

I'd like to make only one .cab to install

Would you like to remove the irrevelant file and give a clean cab for me?

THANKS!!:D

P.S. i use you HTCScroll file to make the .cab in my post. Your help is very essential for me !!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raykisi:
Hi, astart_start

Sorry, there are heaps of files in HTC Dshow package, and i dun hv the time to check which files are revelant while which are not.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] astart_start:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raykisi:
Hi, astart_start

I have updated the HTC ArphicCHSWWEFont 1.0.20090716.0.Raykisi.cab in here, coz two registry keys were missing in the previous cab that may make you can't read chinese in HTC's app

So, now you should be able to read chinese in all HTC's app after installing the new cab.

BTW, why dun you just compile the whole HTC Dshow package into a single HTC Menu Enhancement.cab?

You want to get rid of the irrevelant files so to keep the cab file size small?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] astart_start:
I do not use the Font by yours because I just use the default font (tahoma) in the machine. For every machine will have this font, so no need to install a supplementary ttf.

Yes, I'd like to get rid of the irrevelant files so to keep the cab file size small.

Therefore compile a small size cab!

I just test it and take the relevant file and compile in the new cab. New cabs are available in my post. It supports BOTH CHINESE AND ENGLISH MACHINE! ENJOY!

Glad to see you working on menu enhancement again, francarl!

I tried the latest version of yours on my elfin (onyx6 ROM aka wm 6.5.1). There are some problems :

1. Neither menu or message box seems to work on startup. But, when I select "HTCmessagebox" application in windows folder, message box starts to show up.

2. Menu enhancement doesn't work. I tried starting it with file explorer and opera methods, but they had no effect.

hey francarl, new version 1.2rc1 is awesome, messagebox and menu enhancement work on build 28005. But there's a problem, the menu overlaps the bottombar, i dont know if this is caused by the WM6.5.3 or if there's a registry value to fix this? Thanks for your great work!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] francarl:
I really don't know.. WM6.5.3 build has start menu at bottom? if so, I think that the problem is caused by larger menu bar. In this case, I can't do anything: we should ask HTC to make its menu enhancement compatible with newest wm builds :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] francarl:
sorry, not planned. What happens if you do not check "Enable Menu" in settings then reboot device?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dinosaur3000:
what a pity! anyway, it's working and i'm happy with that already ;) In addition, I found 2 more things:

1. When enable wifi connection, in the popup to choose hotspot, I cannot use the left soft key. The right one works normally. Do you face this problem on your device?

2. The messagebox: when exist text message editor, the normal msgbox has 3 button "Yes" "No" and "Cancel". But in this one I got 2 "Yes" and "No". Is there anyway to cancel? pressing outside the box cannot cancel also. Maybe you could add cancel function by pressing outside the box. That would be perfect!

Thanks again ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] francarl:

Please, you should implement 3-button msgbox, and possibility to cancel msgbox when you click outside. And one more thing: disable sip button when msgbox appears.

Hi MP! I don;t think you can easily disable the SIP button. What I would do is use an API to find the button and move it off of the screen and when done with your msgbox move it back. You would need 2 APIs. FindWindow("MS_SIPButton",null) and SetWindowPos. Maybe you would also use GetWindowRect and save its start location so when you are done you can put it back. All are in coredll.

Hi,

I tried your fingersuite and this menu enhancement app too.

1. By fingersuite: The menus and the messageboxes appear quickly but if the menu is a longer menu then the scrolling are very slow.

2. By menu enhancement: vica versa; The menus and the messageboxes appear very-very slow. Example if I want the delete a file in Total Commander then the message box appears after 3 seconds on my Blackstone!!! The file menu appears after 2 seconds. But the scrolling in the menu is amazing!

Is it possible to joining the positive things in one application? :o
