[IDEA][6.5] Start menu Grid

casklaverstijn · Apr 18, 2010

Hello,

The Hexagon grid in WM 6.5 I think is very disorganized. So my idea is to change the grid of the start menu.

Iv'e made a image in paint to show my idea. (sorry for the crappy ms paint work.)

Can some one realize this? I would love to see this on my diamond.

Thanks in advance!

I think you need to modify the StartMenu_GridScene_480x640.cpr. Open it with notepad and modify it.

Yeah, I thought so. But that's my problem. I don't know how, and I hoped someone with experience with the files could modify it.

my idea is

this is desire of many people...

BUT it is not solved in present time...
If you modify it in your *.cpr-file (HexagonGrid="TRUE" to HexagonGrid="FALSE"), your start menu will cease to work

I have tried some times ago, but with no luck!

ope someone could make it work!

I read somewhere that it's (nearly) impossible to do it, the script that's responsible for the hexagon layout is hidden in a DLL.

As far as I know, a reasonable compromise is if you use the folderview.exe from HTC (it's usually there if touchflo is installed).

I like the idea. It will be better if the start menu can organize by page so that same catagory of apps can group together...

i think it would be easier if it is possible, pushing the start button to open up a new program with shortcuts, similar to that. Correct me if i m wrong.

hi, i like that Start menu Grid. I'm using HTC imagio and that Start menu is in my ship rom but when i flashed a customed rom, there isnt that start menu grid anymore. Hope someone can improve that

+1

I like that idea, in fact I was asking about it in HD2 section - but no luck

I also tried to modify the .crp but no luck either.
Would be really nice to have it!

pepesz · Apr 29, 2010

still no one ?...

casklaverstijn · May 10, 2010

I really hope a developer sees this. We see allot of start menu modifications like lists. But i havent seen this normal grid menu!

Also, some way to scroll horizontally

I was thinking of the same idea... and with the ability to scroll horizontally...this would exactly look like the iPhone...

If this can be worked out by some expert chef.... we won't need any application to give it a iPhone like feel.....

Also, i think the earlier ROM's had horizontally aligned programs.... so its not new... just that it needs to be implemented in newer ROMs.

I am very much interested in this .....

It will be good if it can catagorize the pages (with header). With that we choose to remove the sense to save ~30m of memory.

Bump, anyone?

tboy2000 · Jun 8, 2010

Definately interested in this. What I think would be better is a sense version of the start menu to totally hide the win mo look. It should look just like the program screen when you tap on a quick link to choose an ap from the program screen. Cookie should feature a cookie start menu into cookies home tab 1.81
