As soon as it becomes skinnable, I think there will be a flood of skins available.

I am hoping to do something like the hexagonal start menu for sense with Dinik glass buttons, so it will fit fully with the Faria ROM - one of the most gorgeous ROM's out there. I am hoping that Faria will include it in the next generation of ROM. But that depends on Maximus and whether he charges for the Menu or opens it up for Kitchen users.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] briian_:
Thanks for making this awesome app :)

Its exactly the type of start menu i'm looking for as well as saves some space on ram :)

Just a quick question, how do you disable the softkey set to open the mmapplauncher?

Cheers (:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wuub:
yes most definitely need the settings access

otherwise it's not that usable to me :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cukierkas:
this app is fantastic!

i'm using touch diamond2, stock rom, sence disabled, iphonetoday plugin. now installed your app, and i've got in use 65MB!!!!!!

incredible :)

looking forward for more updates :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sonic9:
yes very nice, fast and little ram usage ...

but missing "Home" icon

keep up good work !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cukierkas:
edit:

some cons: crashes when tapping windows settings icon. thats it.

and.. would be nice to hide app only in procceses, hate seeing it in task mannager:(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] netss:
wow... its interesting..

------------------------

orale esto esta interesante.. muy bonita aplicacion.. yo tengo un MKT HD2 clone y va de maravilla con esta aplicacion
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] djsolidsnake86:
bug. when i enable override start menu, all the external buttons on i8000 make mmapplauncher opened :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Does the same on my i900, and when i check in the button configuration mmapplauncher does not show up as selected :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cornchop:
Just tested and really like this application

I just have a few suggestions and comments, especially since you're releasing it as a paid application.

* As others have suggested, I think hiding this from task managers would be a nice thing

* First load is a little slow for me. After that it's great.

* I did get a few crashes when hitting the settings tab.

* lock button is working like a home button for me. (CHT 1.8.6 Deep Shining Rom on a TP2)

* I personally would probably never use the Run tab. That would be a great place to add in your task manager if you ever decided to integrate it.

I also found that I was gaining about 20MB RAM when I disabled the windows start menu. I really appreciate that you built in an option to turn that on and off.

I think this is a great looking application - very nice design - and I'm really looking forward to the final release.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sweetpiggy:
Very great app!

1) same problem on my I900 (WM 6.5 rom, build 21681.5.3.9) :(

but this problem is not simple... ES: if i push the button for 'rotate screen' my omnia show mmapplauncher, but make a screen rotation too; same with 'soft reset button'.... (it seems casually make this)

but mmapplauncher replace perfectly my start menù, whit a save of 4/5 mb of ram :O! very good!! you only have to fix the 'all button assignment' bug :D:D

2) the 'lock' button work like 'home' on my device

3) the firs loading of 'setting' tab is a bit slow... and it shoul by nice

test in progress....

suggestion:

-should be nice an option to set the default start tab (es: i would start the application in 'favorite' tab); and simil option (if possible) when the application run in background (because, now, when we call the application that are running in background, the application show the last tab viewed)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twerg:
Nice app, thanks.

I seem to have this problem that recently ran applications do not show in the Recent tab, just remains blank.

Anyone else experiencing that?

Otherwise nice, great to have a bit more ram too!

Landscape mode improvement needed

Hi.

Great app. Thank you.

Please, take a look on the landscape mode layout, for now it is absolutely unusable.

I suggest to align the menu buttons in single column at the left or right side on WVGA screens (depends on rotation), that give much more space for app. buttons.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] grymcent:
**Bump** +1 on the landscape support
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shdreamer:
Gret app!

Installed yesterday, runs quick and smooth.

Looking forward for the non beta version!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] djsolidsnake86:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kenichikenichi:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PREMOLIKES:
just install today.beta expired.n no free trial too.does it give more RAM by disabling start menu?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
New beta means new beta not new version...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] djsolidsnake86:
+1 new beta
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kenichikenichi:
This file name does not change long time and we can not install this software now. Meaning is "not new beta=not new beta version=not new version. I hope you can understand.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bh77a:
I emailed the developer about the state of the app earlier this week and never received a response. Perhaps he is tied up with other things ... too bad, though as this a great little app with lots of potential.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pieczatkiewicz:
I too have tried to contact. No go. The app rocks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Same here i got too used to it. Need at least a new beta with new expiry date. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] grymcent:
Maybe he is just giving us time be frustrated with WM StartMenu, once we have reached the peak of frustration MM will release it to us....grin!!

All joking aside(ish), please bring out another version Live or beta. please. the WM Startmenu is killing me....

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Maximus.Mobile:
Hi guys,

I've been really busy lately and don't have any times to work on this. However, I've decided to release this as freeware and will try to remove the time-bomb and upload with a new cab file. Please give me 1/2 days.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] djsolidsnake86:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] realthor:
The waiting is killing me, I check a few times a day for an updated post#1

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] djsolidsnake86:
have you solved the i8000 keys bug?

controlled, and not isn't solved (it occour when i select override start menu)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pieczatkiewicz:
Big thank you!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
To prevent the problem where pressing any of the hardware keys brings up first MMLauncher, install the startmenu remove cab (enclosed is one for WQVGA with the registry tweak removed, so it does not remove the startmenu softkeys). After the soft reset open Ameba and assing the startmenu key to MMLauncher. With this MMLauncher works without problems.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Doo Doo:
Thank You So Much This App Is Amazing Runs Flawlessly On My AT&T Tilt 2 :D

The man just released this application FOR FREE. Take what you got and work with it. No demands necessary... It works for most devices, obviously.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ujjwol:
thanks dude ..you dont know how happy i am.now take ur time and remove the bugs..:D:D:D:D:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] skooter2:
Please read first!!!

He released this AS IS because he has no time to continue development

In other words NO BUG FIXES
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brainmaster:
I have modified the cab file with these settings:

1. Added StartButton - this is hooking the StartMenu to MMAppLauncher.

2. Added Link2CPL for making ans showing the Control Panel shortcuts.

After installation go to the Settings for MMAppLauncher and activate - "Load On Boot" and "Override Start Menu". Reboot your device.

You can always get the original Start Menu just by disabling the "Override Start Menu" option.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mwalt2:
Thanks for posting the non-timebombed cab Maximus.Mobile. It's working great for me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PREMOLIKES:
nice and fast .but it eats RAM around 1.7mb in my qvga.application crash after pressing recent ,fav button a bit fast.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Hammerfest:
great to see that its free, now, first person to hack it so i can have 5x5 or 4x5 or really any combo of 4x5x6, gets $20
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] djsolidsnake86:
can you solve the omnia 2 keys bug?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brainmaster:
What bug? I haven't read the whole Thread.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] djsolidsnake86:
when the override start menu option is selected, every key that i press on omnia 2 open mmapplauncher :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brainmaster:
Sorry, can't help with that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] djsolidsnake86:
i need wvga cab
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] djsolidsnake86:
you can do a version that remove automatically at the installation, the original start menu of wm 6.5.x?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brainmaster:
I don't think that it is so hard to open the MMAppLauncher and check two checkboxes, or is it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] djsolidsnake86:
as i said, if i select that options, there are that keys bug
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Here it is, follow the same procedure as explained above
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jpfa:

I ended up with nothing. thanks God I had Cookie home tab to launch the mmapplauncher otherwith I would have been stucked I guess. Looking at the preference menu after reboot nothing is checked. tried to check reboot, uncheck reboot. still no menu. I want to unnistall mmapplaucher but wouldn't dare till honeycomb is back.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] runkle6:
hi, its a great program!

2 questions:

is it possible to have a black background or can i make it for myself?

is it possible to have 5 icons in a row?

THX 4 that great piece of software!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jpfa:
I did but still no windows stat menu! Any registry keys to edit. any cpr files to delete I have the notion of reading about it somewhere but can't find it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] grymcent:
if any mods are being made:

+1 for black background (or instructions on how to do it myself).

& better landscape support for TP2 would be appreciated

thanks

When I install this on the titanium energy rom, it somehow disables the lock screen (lock just brings me back to titanium).

Otherwise, I love it
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ErOR22:
Perfect program which I've been looking for. Works perfect on my WQVGA Samsung Omnia.

Thanks you very much!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] colossus_r:
Delete any Startmenu_xxxxxx.cpr files you will find in \windows folder and softreset
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Colossus, do you know what registry or other file i can backup to have Ameba reassign the start menu button automatically to MMAppLauncher after a new flash?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bigchrizzieboy:
alternative

Use Ameba Settings Tool or search the registry-keys in the same thread.

BUT, I'm using the program UTASK. It's faster, easier to configure and more stable in my opinion.

Good luck.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] colossus_r:
Here you go m8..... copy this reg file to your XDA_UC folder and you are OK.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Thanks a lot to both of you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
I know this is not the right thread to ask this, but as it is the last key missing for my customization, could you tell me what is the registry for regional settings? I could not find this one either.

Thanks and sorry for the off topic.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] colossus_r:
Hi m8...

Yes its not the place to ask but its an easy answer so....

Export the key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls] ...and ...

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides]

cheers

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Thanks a lot!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brainmaster:
Try another ManilaDesktop.dll. Fins the one that is compatible with your device and overwrite it in the Windows folder on your device.

That COULD be the solution, I am not sure.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Quincux:
Great app, thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bigchrizzieboy:
Future?

Hi,

It's pretty quiet in this thread.

Do you've got any more plans with this great app?

Are you still developing? Tell us please what you're up to :cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
I don't think there will be any further development, at least not from Maximus. Maybe if somebody else picks it up....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tarheel:
Thank You

Justed installed way cool and efficient
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Quincux:
Is there any way to run it in landscape mode?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bevoc:
is there a way to skin the bottom icons??

the bottom icon is cool if you have a colourful theme but im currently on a monochrome theme and i was just wondering if there is a dll that can be edited to change these icons....:p

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MEdal.el:
Thnx Man i had it & its great

i had a nice new look now:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aldamon:
I doubt this is being actively developed, but here are my suggestions:

1. Option to default to All Programs every time instead of remembering last position. Very annoying behavior for a start menu replacement.

2. Option to remove scrolling from screen unless justified by number of icons. I rarely have enough icons in a folder to justify scrolling and it's difficult to tap the icons because they move so easily.

3. Option to remove Lock softkey.

Otherwise, well done.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pistlman:
Also work with wm 6.1? Sorry, but in fist page you wrote:

Windows Mobile 6.x Professional

in the title Full Start Menu Replacement (WM 6.5, 6.5.x) so I not understand!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] realthor:
I second that..and also would like this nice replacement for the start menu skinable, I am also on a monochrome Titanium Theme and being able to theme this would make it look very professional.

Also sorting the settings menu would also be great.

Anyway I'm sure this will happen sooner or later so thanks for developing this app and can't wait for an update.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Maximus.Mobile:
Coming back

Hi guys,

I would like to apologize for the last months I was very busy with my personal life. It was difficult months for me to wrap my head around everything. Now my situation is mostly under control and I would like to come back and continue working on this project as well as my other one (MMTaskManager). I will try to go through the thread and see any problems that users reported and fix them. Also, I will be porting all my other apps on my website to Windows Phone 7 and will make them available on the market place as soon as they are ready :)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Great news my friend

MMAppLauncher is working very well for me. Only thing i would like to see is that the memory consumption could be a bit reduced. It takes about 2.7 MB at start and goes up to 5 MB with the time.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ummagumma:
I've been using this app for a few days now. I am running it along with WkTask, so that I have access to my running apps on the taskbar. I really like it and the overall idea but let me give some feedback:

- it still crashes sometimes when switching between tabs, especially to Settings tab. Once it crashes I have to soft reset as the Start buttons become unresponsive and system slows to a crawl.

- switching between tabs, in general, is somewhat flakey. Most time it's good and smooth but sometimes it really takes a while, fails to load icons for a while (8-10 sec), and in the worst case crashes. It seems that once I load every tab once, it works great until I soft reset, so it may have something to do with caching.

- The "Processes" tab takes forever to load. It would be great if there was an option to only show running programs, not all processes (and to show large icons), this way it could be used as a task switcher.

- Maybe it's just me, but it seems I have to apply pressure for a bit longer / tap firmer to launch things from MMTA vs any other launcher.

- Would be great if the RAM use could be reduced, right now it's about 2.5 mb on first run and grows to over 5mb over time. Still a biiiig improvement over the default Start Menu.

- It would also be great if the bottom tab icons could be customized. And if the background could be set to a picture. Not that this is at all important - just icing on the cake.

Now for the good things:

- When it runs smooth, it's a very good experience. Which it does most of the time.

- The way you present default icons on a rounded grey button is just a stroke of genius. It makes the terrible default Windows icons look great. There's really no reason to modify them.

- No tweaking required - it replaces Start Menu right off the bat... I was toying with using IPhoneToday as a start menu replacement but I simply have no time to recreate all shortcuts... it's far too much work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] silverferret:
Any chance to get this to work on wm2003 devices??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mirolg:

Welcome back bro!

I can't wait for the smallest update :P so don't keep it a secret ok?:D

Cheers.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] barisg:
My device doesnt have such registry. Once you override the standart windows menu, you cannot get it back until you hard reset your device!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brainmaster:
If you use my version, you can aways activate the original start menu from the MMAppLauncher Settings menu.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] barisg:
Dear brainmaster,

I have already installed your version. My device is Imate-Jam and using Cottula Rom with WM 6.5.3.

However, after I override the start menu, I could not return back, even from the registy settings. So, I had to hard reset and install everything again in 3 hours time!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brainmaster:
Well, I don't know what is the problem with your device - on my device, when I deactivate the start menu override, the original start menu is accessible again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fire-warrior:

WHOA

Wow, I'm stuck now - can't reset phone, can't get to Windows Start Menu and settings tab. I installed this selected overide Windows start menu, it froze up, I soft reset and now I can't get this or my Windows Start Menu. Anyone have a idea on how to rescue my TP2???

What happened???

I have a TMobile TP2 with 6.5 and sense 2012 have never unlocked / flashed a rom on this phone. Tried the power button / send / end reset no good won't do anything but turn phone off.

Help please what can I try to reach and hard reset???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Open MMAppLauncher go into settings and deselect override start menu.

If this does not work install the enclosed cab. This will create a folder control panel with all the links in windows/start menu/programs. Then you can navigate in your file explorer to this folder, where all your settings are.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DennisSclan8:
THANK YOU

Thanks for the help Claus, I managed to hard reset out of desperation using SOTI desktop / mobile communicator I had installed (before anyone had a chance to reply to my request for help).

However remain frustrated over the 3 hour rebuild on my TP2 with settings ect..

Really would like to use the application it looks like a awesome start replacement.

Something with my system set up does'nt agree with the app. I'll have to continue trying to figure the conflict, reading through thread I seen where a lot of other TP2's run fine with it so - I've got a conflict there somehow.

ABOVE all else I sincerely thank you for the help and will definitly keep this cab for rescue, many many thanks!!:):)
