I want to share my Start Menu concept for Windows Mobile.

As we know, the new honeycomb start menu in 6.5 is hard to use, because the icons are not sorted. We can move a program to top, but we can't sort it alphabetically.

May be it will be good if someone can make this start menu replacement.

Here's the explanation :

1. As seen in the picture, the start menu "level" is like in the older WM than 6.5 (we have see white gradient on the start button). In 6.5, the start menu is like a folder which contains all the shortcut.

2. All apps will not displayed in Honeycomb. Honeycomb is only for favourite app. Because, in Favourite app, we don't need to sort all the objects alphabetically. Also, tap&hold will bring some menu, including "move item", not "move to top".

Sliding to right or left, will switch to task manager (running apps), still in honeycomb style..

For Smartphone edition (non-touch), no honeycomb, just a normal icons.

3. The left soft key open the programs menu

The program menu is very similar to Spb Mobile Shell Launcher, with some differences :

a.	The programs menu will load all the shortcut (without icon)

In lower priority, icons will be loaded, without eating resources, so we can quickly scroll down, and launch the app we want.

b.	It will be closed when an app is launched.

4. The right soft key open the settings menu

a.	Just take the older WM settings screen. We don't need eye-candy settings screen, because we will not open it everyday.

Now, would you make this start menu replacement. I'm not a programmer..
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dare2know:
Million A$ idea...but i am also unfortunately poor in programming ..but i hope soon it will be formulated..

[Windows Mobile Software Development] The Jack of Clubs:
this is such a good idea that htc already did it.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] patrick_spd4u:
What do you mean? The Rhodium Start menu?

What do you mean? The Touch Pro2 (Rhodium) Start menu?

In Rhodium Start Menu, HTC didn't add honeycomb

No white gradient to indicate the start menu is opened, like in older WM.

No Task Manager

The Program menu hasn't organized folders (for example : games), and items are displayed in list instead of grid/thumbnails

The last one, I can't get it in my Raphael and Hermes !!

EDIT: I can get it in my Raphael but I prefer the Panoramic Launchpad than Manila Start Menu..

Thanks for sharing your experience I upgraded from Touch HD to HD2 and it was a right decision. This phone is just great.
[HD2 General] zoomee:
hey mate, well I have a TP2 from work and a HD2 as my personal phone.

Some good points above but I'll add the following:

A)- The TP2 is atrociously slow with the newer 'sense' official ROM's from HTC - Seems the 1Ghz CPU really does make allot of difference when using the WM6.5 ROM's.

B)- The camera is way better than the TP2 - no flash on the TP2 for a start but the overall quality is better on the HD2....

C)- I find the TP2 bulky but thats the compromise you have to make for having a keyboard - one well worth it taking into account the excellent well spaced out keyboard on the TP2 - And I agree with you - the HD2 keyboard is quite sensitive - takes some getting used to.

The way I see it - The TP2 is an excellent business tool and the HD2 is an excellent multimedia / consumer tool. I wouldn't give up my TP2 for work use as I type on the excellent keyboard allot (using MS Communicator) but don't need it for personal use hence the HD2 is well suited for that purpose.

Usual principles apply - everyone has their personal preferences ;)
[HD2 General] ganon4:
hehe thanks for your sharing ;)

I'll probably switch from my s710 to the hd2 (what a huge change)
[HD2 General] karlpj:
•	The speaker in TP2 is the double of sound volume (it has 2 speakers). You can watch films without headphones without any problem as it is very loud and clear

•	The screen in TP2 is brighter than HD2 even when both are to the maximum of bright. Also TP2 by default is always in the maximum when HD2 is not to keep the weaker battery safe. The extra bright doesn’t compensate the screen size but makes easier to see it in sunlight and movies with dark-night environments

•	TP2 is extremely reliable out the box, HD2 is buggy. Simply don’t try to upgrade TP2 to 6.5 than offers little new and uses more memory.

•	TP2 keyboard is perfect, the best ever. HD2 is faulty but you always can train yourself to compensate it.

•	TP2 touch screen is predictable; it does what you try to do. HD2 screen is unpredictable. It doesn’t really work in a lot of programs with old menus.

•	HD2 browsing internet and movie player is very powerful and way ahead to TP2.

I find very handy also the tilt support of the TP2 when placed in a table. You can have the correct vision angle to see movies at same time you have the keyboard to pause, go backwards and forwards etc. When I see a movie in HD2 everything is ok except if I need to do these operations as the touch screen is not acurate and send me to any part of the movie except the one that I'm looking for.

In general I find HD2 a god with broken legs and TP2 and well rounded hero.
[HD2 General] zarpy:
touchpro2 all the way

Honestly I think HD2 has some software issues and do not recomend it. Some programs that work on windows mobile 5,6,6.1, for some reasons do not work on HD2. Especially the games . Wait for an update before getting HD2.

I'm sure like me, many people here have installed the camera hotfix by now. is anyone else's flash super bright now after the second flash? taking pictures in the dark is near impossible now. all I get is a white blob of what should be the person I'm taking a picture of lol...
[HD2 General] pigglett:
Yes mine is now super bright Ive not been able to tome it down yet
[HD2 General] meegulthwarp:
This problem has been discussed before on this forum (try searching for it) and has been a problem even before the hotfix. Looks like HTC will need to come out with a second hotfix.
[HD2 General] RRibeiro:
Well, for me the hotfix worked realy well, and the flash now is better then ever.
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
Try to take a picture of something close to you. Or in a dark environment, take a picture of a person sitting right across the table from you.
[HD2 General] erosennin:
Yes, using flash on close-in objects is useless. All you get is a bright picture. This ain't good.:mad:
[HD2 General] RRibeiro:
Here is a picture I just made with my HD2.

It was takem 20cm away with flash on.

EDIT: Sorry, my mistake. Now it's the photo with flash.
[HD2 General] ilgaz:
RRibeiro

Is that picture with the lights on or off?

Problem happens with flash on in dark environments.
[HD2 General] erosennin:
Still it's not a good picture. Look at the bottom of the picture, not good. There's room for improvement IMO.
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
Not just in dark environments, see attached pictures of HTC Official Online Store discount card (for scale, it's about the size of a credit card) taken at my office (with rather bright ambient light).
[HD2 General] lovanova:
I installed the hotfix and I'm loving the camera now. Better color, better overall image. And the strange hue is gone. Also tested the flash, it's not the best flash ever of course, but coming from a no-flash at all (HD), I'm satisfied enough. It does the job fine.
[HD2 General] yosagojimbo:
try taking a photo of yourself at arms length

you'll be blind for a bit, plus the photo will be way too bright
[HD2 General] chronicle:
totally agree...the hot-fix has now ruined all close up flash photographs as it just burns out to a bright white blob. Very poor.

(and in doing so they only managed to reduce, not eliminate the pink blob without the flash)
[HD2 General] chronicle:
double post due to Bad Gateway...
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
I don't see anything that was "ruined" by the hotfix, it was the same without it.

[HD2 General] shagster69:
Fixed the bright flash issue... i just dont know how??

If this is a little late and the issue has already been addressed, then my apologies.

Anyway, Yesterday, i was becoming very annoyed with the sudden increase in flash power since the pink blob hotfix, so i started looking at what the problem might be.

Firstly it appeared that the problem was that the timing was slightly wrong with regards to the exposure. So i looked through all the settings and started switching features on and off in the hope that there might be an action that delayed the exposure long enough to get a good reading.

Basically this became boring very quickly as i was not getting any change in the result but while my attention lagged in the task, i must have made the essential change.

Now the flash works exactly as it did before the Hotfix!

Now the question is: who else still has this problem and would you be willing to try adjusting all the settings to achieve the same result... but this time with more attention to detail than i had.

As far as i can remember the setting i had adjusted were Shutter sound "ON" and wide-screen "ON", then went back and turned them off again.

Its a long shot, but something made it work.
[HD2 General] Lucius Snow:
For me, the flash is still too much bright. I have to disable it. And the HTC update didn't solve the pink blur at all. And i don't talk about the JPEG compression which is awful.

Well this camera is just a disaster ...
[HD2 General] ian_uk1975:
Agree about the flash power... only way for a hotfix to address that issue would be to decrease the duration of the flash when it fires.

Disagree about the camera being a disaster overall... with the hotfix and the settings tweaked (contrast +4, sat +3, sharpness +4), the HD2 camera takes pics that are pretty-much identical in overall quality to my Nokia N95 8GB.
[HD2 General] Lucius Snow:
Compared to my previous phones (Asus P525 and P750), the quality is very bad when you look the picture at 100% of the real size. All JPEG artefacts are hudge. I prefer a medium resolution and good JPEG compression than high resolution and bad JPEG compression.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] inuanimefreak:
Hey all I had a question about text threading on the Tilt 2. i know i can change the font size when opening text messages under system settings. but i wanted to be able to change the font size for threading. Can it be adjusted without tweaks? If not what tweaks are out there? Thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Dramacydle:
You can change your text size if you go to Settings > Screen > "Text Size" tab and adjust the slider. Alternatively, while you have your text message open, you can slide your finger along the zoom slider at the bottom of the LCD screen and it will adjust the size of the text font, real-time. Sliding in one direction makes the text smaller and sliding in the other makes it larger. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] inuanimefreak:
Yes i know i can do that. im talking about when i use my slider to go to the text message option. i want to be able to read the text before i tap on it to see it in the other format where i can make the changes. for example, on the tilt two all the text is white before you open up the area to see all messages. i just want to make the white text in the threaded area bigger. if i cant do that. how to i just make the font black or any other color, or bold instead.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Dramacydle:
I see. Your original message didn't clearly indicate that you were referring to the Manila Messages text font size. From what I can gather, you can't easily modify the Manila text size without changing everything else in the system's font settings. This has been discussed in this thread.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] inuanimefreak:
Thanks. I'll check it out
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] wondercoolguy:
Everyone has their opinions on what Hero rom is the best and fastest. I've tried them all. The question I have does anyone think we will never have a hero rom that will be as fast as actual Hero/Eris? All the ones Ive tried the home screen runs okay as long as you constantly kill the background programs. But pulling up apps and moving through the system is slow on any Hero rom (that Ive tried). I have all the correct linx-swap 128, ext2 500 and class 6. Question still stands will there ever be a rom that moves as fast as the actual phone?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tazz9690:
I doubt it. It just basically comes down to the hardware and how we lack 96mb of ram over the actual hero or 32A devices. It makes it really hard to even get a rom that will compare to the original.

Version 2 is almost uploaded (RW6815 is finnished, RW6828 is uploading and you can find him later on in my MediaFire folder or tomorrow with an direct link in the start post).

changes:

changed some of the HTC logo's for HP logo's (the splash screen is a new old style HP animated logo)

added some extra OEM packages of the HTC JADE

removed the HTC keyboard from the ROM and repacked it in a CAB

did a remake of the autorun for the CAB and REG files. You can now reset your device while the software is installing, it will go further where it was ended.

Some small cosmetic things (Youtube shortcut was not working on the programs tab on TouchFlo)

Hi all,

On the HTC HD2 I can show a address from the contacts in google maps mobile, any idea how this is done?

Not the standard web page but the mobile app.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] andrew-in-woking:
Microsoft Contacts Application

Hi Dave

Install the Google Maps to the main memory of your device. Then go to the Microsoft Contacts application on your phone. You need to scroll down to the contact you want with an address entered. Then select menu on the right soft key and you should have something like "Show in Google Maps" in the menu.

Cheers

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Dave Benton:
Which Api

Hi,

I was after what interface they were using?
[Android Themes] Max Rudberg:
Hi,

I'm quite new to Android so I don't know where to find all elements in the phone. Please have a look at this image and let me know if you know if the images are used or obsolete!

One additional element not in the photo is the scrollbar handle, that large thing that used to pop out from the scrollbar at times - is it gone?

I assume there is already info on how to theme the progressbar, I will search for this info later.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Themes] david1171:
all of those are in framework-res.apk/res/drawable

the scrollbar is also in that same folder.

to edit the color of the progress bar you have to edit progress_horizontal.xml, here is a little guide i made in a thread about how to easily do hex edits for color in .xml's. the only one of those files that still applies is .xml above. 1.6 did away with 1.5's way of doing the progress circles.
[Android Themes] binarybulge:
Pretty sure he's asking where the elements are actually used on the phone. As in, what apps use them, etc.
[Android Themes] kryptik06:
All are used besides the battery charged, and the files are like david said in the "framework-res.apk/res/drawable"
[Android Themes] prash:
There are some outdated images left over from older OS versions, I usually just tend to ignore these so I have less to edit. The scroll bar large mode icon appears in contact.apk if you still want to edit that, im not sure which other system app uses it. I think what happened was google did a little cleaning up and moved app specific resources inside the app's apk files instead of having them float around in frameworks. They do need a serious clean up of the folder though.
[Android Themes] Max Rudberg:
Thank you for the replies!

Yes, I am in fact asking where they are used on the phone. I have a HTC Dream that I'm testing with, and I have not found apps that use the elements that I've listed.

So the battery charge is not used - thanks!

What about the rest, do you know an app that uses them?

The reason I want to find them is so that I can change them and see how it turns out on the device. I'm doing this for a client and I've tracked down all of them except these last ones.
[Android Themes] prash:
I'm not positive but I can say a lot of them ARE obselete:

Erase Button: I believe it used to come in handy during 1.0/1.1 OS, haven't seen a use for it on 1.5+ devices

Picker Box: Definitely obselete, have not seen these used in quiet a while..

Spinner: These might be date/time picker images, go into alarm clock app, set alarm or change time for any of them I believe they show up here, not sure about the arrows though.

Battery Charge: have NOT been used since android 1.0 initial release, rc29, which was taken out a long long time ago.

Progress bar graphics: These are xml changes, I believe. As someone pointed out earlier you can try changing them via xml changes.

Your best bet is just not edit them, they're in the system/frameworks folder for no reason at all, I say save yourself the work and avoid them.

Hope that's clearer.
