It's a reg setting but HD TWeak from the Touch HD still works to set this. I used it to remove the limitation as my hearing isn't great.

I have set mine to maximum.

Music playback still seems much quiter than on the HD, and I'm comvinced it occasionally reduces volume randomly!

:)
[HD2 General] Diplomate:
Humm, interesting. DOes anyone know the actual registry key(s) which need to be modified, and how? I try to avoid installing tweaking software when I can just go into regedit and change things myself...

TIA

Use proper headphones and keep your noise to yourself.

in case you are one of those persons that walk around playing their ****ty music on their phones speaker ... then go and DIE!

In case you use earphones, get some in-ear plugs, that should cover the problem of noise around you.

I would be careful of in-ear monitors as they called, I have used quite a few mainly ultimate ears ue10 pro. Its been a couple of years, but I am now starting to suffer from serious problems with my right ear. So yes do take very good care of your ears cause trust me when the problems start, you will long for the day when you had perfect hearing.

[Windows Mobile Themes] isangelous:
I recently made some cabs for the HD2 to change the start menu to 4 or 5 items wide. As this was quite popular I have been working to support more devices. It makes the start menu 3, 4, 5 or 6 items wide (portrait) and keeps the same icon size for landscape.

VGA:

WVGA:

VGA (480x640), WVGA (480x800), QVGA (240x320) and WQVGA (240x400) are all supported.

Select a StartMenu_Grid_n.CAB below, where n is the number of items you want in portrait.

If you think the text is too small, try this one. Still too small? Try this one.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jhe@htc:
thank you! works great on bogysoft's 6.5 on touch diamond :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] steff195:
First of all thank you for this cab.

It works well on my Omnia, but the icons are very crowded and kinda small... can you provide a 4 columns cab hoping that this would look better? Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Working perfectly on Samsung Omnia2
[Windows Mobile Themes] isangelous:
Thanks you all for testing this for me.

steff195: Please try the attached 4-wide cab, and let me know if it works for you.

(Cab moved to post 1)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Tatsch:
edit......
[Windows Mobile Themes] steff195:
Thank you so much!

It is perfect for my Omnia. Just to provide you some more feedback, the 5 columns cab was also working very fine, but the icons were too small and too crowded for my liking. This is better.

Take a look:

Again, a very big thank you! ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] isangelous:
steff195: Great, glad your happy! Thanks for the feedback.

:( Did anything change at all? Did you install to the main device, and soft reset after?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Tatsch:

[Windows Mobile Themes] kdkinc:
Works great on i910 Omnia.

I like the 5 wide so I can see most of the menu in one place,less screen dragging to find a program icon.

The icons are small but the setup from my 3 wide is still in place for the most part:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Tatsch:
BIG sorry, your cabs Do work :) with my Topaz (HTC Stock ROM WM 6.5)

I have so much cabs for the 4-/5-columns-thung and I mixed your cabs with these ones which sound similar :(: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4492002&postcount=146
[Windows Mobile Themes] virtuss:
Is it possible to make it 3 columns in portrait mode, and 5/6 in landscape ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] slimshadee:
Could you also throw a cab together that reverts back to the standard 3 columns? A lot of custom ROMS for my Tilt2 have the 4 or 5 column built in, and I think it slows down the device and I prefer the larger icons in the 3 column arrangement.

I haven't found a universal cab that will revert it on the Tilt 2, it seems that each ROM chef has to make his own for the particular ROM.

Thanks!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] isangelous:
Haha, no problem mate. Although I did spend a while today trying to figure out how my cab differed from the alternates you mentioned!

virtuss, slimshadee:

As this seems to be working well I will make up the 3-wide and 6-wide cabs tomorrow.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ratex1:
Thank You ขอบคุณครับ:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] virtuss:
just to clarify. I'd like to have 3-wide in portrait, and 6-wide in landscape. But I want them to change automatically when I rotate my screen. Is this possible ? Since now when I rotate my screen I have 3wide both in landscape and portrait.
[Windows Mobile Themes] xdabnn:

[Windows Mobile Themes] handsome1_blr:
Hi,

Just installed it on my Artemis (QVGA) and it works perfectly !! I've been dying to get this and had requested all other guys for the same !! At last found it !!

A BIG THANK's TO YOU :D !!

Regards.
[Windows Mobile Themes] dlh110:
thanks you！I’ll try it！
[Windows Mobile Themes] isangelous:
Please can those who requested the 3-wide try the one attached.

virtuss:

I am afraid it is not 6-wide in landscape. It is 4-wide for VGA/QVGA users and 5-wide for WVGA/WQVGA, as this keeps the icon size the same when switching between portrait and landscape.

I havent done the 6-wide yet (this is quite a boring task!) so will probably get that finished tomorrow. Once that is done, im thinking it would be pretty straightforward to release separate cabs for portrait and landscape, allowing users like you to pick the number of items you want for each.

I have installed ( 4 icon grid version) on my neo s200 acer WVGA (800x400 ) on internal device (not storage device) .

After installing, I don't see anything changed in start menu. I still have 3 icons.

I also soft reset the device but nothing happens. What I have to do to get it running ? Thanks Joss
[Windows Mobile Themes] laxaddict14:
i have the same problem. i installed it to the device on my apache 6700 with (pdaj's) wm6.5 rom and when i soft reset, nothing changes. ive even tried both and still no resolution.
[Windows Mobile Themes] isangelous:
I have attached the 3-wide and 6-wide cabs to post 1.

Benz-Driver: Im sorry I dont know how to do that, and as far as I know it cant be done with the 6.5 start menu. There is an option for it in the .cpr files suggesting Microsoft were planning it, but I dont think they actually implemented it.

laxaddict14, gpnet2: I suggest contacting the creators of your ROMs to find out if they know why this might be incompatible. The key thing we need to know is if the rom uses a file other than: \Windows\StartMenu_GridScene_RESOLUTION.cpr for the start menu.

If you have no luck I will perhaps whip up a utility to try to figure out what is going on, but I am working on another project at the moment so that would not be for a week or two.
[Windows Mobile Themes] gpnet2:
Thanks for replay,

My intention was just to inform you about this issue. As long as you have time I wait for a patch.

Hello dear isangelous. I really thank you for all your efforts. You really make wonderfull work. Please let me ask you if its possible for you to give a variation of the 5x6 with big letters in the normal format - iphonelike (not in the hexagonal format), thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Themes] isangelous:
As far as I know it is not possible to have a straight grid layout, only the staggered hexagonal layout.

Hi,

Om my HTC there are to sets of program,

1. the one when you click on the start button, that shows now the 4 rows (thanks.)

2. on the TouchFlow bar there is an icon called Programs - that still shows the 3 icons ;(

Is it possible to create a cab file that changes that to 4 as well ?

Thanks,

Just to make sure, would this work with an HD2 using Miri's 6.5.X 23519?
[Windows Mobile Themes] pcman2k:
the only missing thing here, is a way to control the font to ur convenient

so,

in addition to those perfect cabs, which offer a great way of it, i am attaching here the cpr files, which are giving the chance to further control, columns, font height and name, and spaces.

i have modified them to the included shape.

btw, they are in windows folder (i have O2, win6.5)
[Windows Mobile Themes] pongster:
Excellent stuff man!
[Windows Mobile Themes] isangelous:
As far as I know, but as I havent been following D&H since around november.

Thank you.

It should work on all 6.5, but if it doesnt work it would usually just do nothing. It should also be safe to uninstall and wind up with your rom default version back.

If you wish to change the font or sizes yourself you just need to find:

\Windows\StartMenu_GridScene_240x320.cpr (where 240x320 is your devices resolution).

That is just an xml file so you can use any text editor.

<Form Width="240" Height="320">
<StartMenu_GridScene ID="Scene">
<GridView ID="Start Menu Items List" Top="0" Left="0" Width="240" Height="268" Columns="5" Scrollable="TRUE" HexagonGrid="TRUE" HorizontalWrapAround="TRUE">
<Image ID="Selection" Left="0" Top="-15" Width="60" Height="60" Source=".\HTC_StartMenu_Selection.png" />
<Layer ID="GridItem" Width="60" Height="60" OnAction="GridItemAction">
<Layer ID="Normal">
<Image ID="Image" Left="15" Top="2" Width="30" Height="30" ScaleStyle="Fit" />
<Text ID="Text" Left="3" Top="35" Width="54" Height="25" FontFamily="Helvetica Neue OTS" FontSize="6" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Top" Wrap="True" Trimming="EllipsisCharacter" ForeColor="#00FFFFFF" BackColor="#00000000" />
</Layer>
</Layer>
<Layer ID="NoItems">
<Text ID="Text" Width="240" Height="20" FontFamily="Helvetica Neue OTS" FontSize="9" ForeColor="#00FFFFFF" Wrap="False" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Trimming="Character" InnerTextType="Resource">shellres.dll,22596</Text>
</Layer>
</GridView>
</StartMenu_GridScene>
</Form>

The first <Text ID= line sets the size of the font (FontSize). You may need to adjust the Top= to move the text closer to the image.

If you change the icon size (<Image ID="Image") you will need to adjust the Left/Top to keep it centred.

Did you have any luck with this? I wouldnt have expected my cab to have this effect. I have found that even if it goes completely wrong, WM will just default back to the 3 column menu.

I would try installing a Polaris specific menu cab, such as this good one provided by chris10230.

[Windows Mobile Themes] aburubah:
thank you

thanks you are the best
[Windows Mobile Themes] isangelous:
This does not enable landscape - it simply changes how the start menu looks in landscape. To actually get that you would need to use something like Gyrator. I think there is also a program which adds apps to the HD2's built in htc rotation.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Nightwish2:
Oh.. I thought it would rotate itself :) It is ok if it doesn't as long as the cab works as it was ment to. Thansk for reply.

i have changed many things in the portrait and landscape config file. Now it looks as i need it.

Great little cab file with so many different possibillities. Great work. Also the larger cab file. It

Uninstalling the StartMenuGrid and then restarting should set it back to ROM default.
