Thanks gtrab, simply useful.

 

[gtrab]

Many people sending me private mails asking to make this backwards compatible to Windows Mobile 6.1

I have been trying, but no, it is not possible to date

Guys it's tome to UPGRADE, many WM6.5 ROMs out there

I initially tried starting the rank with 4294967295 then descending but it seems that doing so will put the items after sorted menu items. I have not verified it yet but I suspect ranks below 2147483647 would put items on top and numbers above that will put items below.

now, if someone could write a utility for it

Just came across this looking for more information on how the "FavoriteOrder" works, and I thought I'd help clear this up.

The rank numbers up around 4294967295 are showing up at the bottom because the registry editor is actually misinterpreting those numbers.

The rank value is actually using 1's complement hex values (Or is it 2's complement? Hell, I can't remember which is which anymore! ). Anyway, it's a binary negative, regardless of which method is being used. So, 0xFFFFFFFF is not 4294967295, it's actually -1!

Unfortunately, registry editors can't handle this. Why in the world MS would default to using such an esoteric thing as binary negatives is absolutely beyond me, but there you have it!

Hope this helps!

P.S. If anyone knows anything about the the "FavoriteOrder" value works, could you please PM me, since I don't read this forum? Thanks!

EDIT: If anyone cares, for completeness sake, it's actually the 2's complement negative.

After many testings I discarded registry changes and started editing cpr files and it worked
Icons distribution is controled by StartMenu_GridScene_480x800.cpr & StartMenu_GridScene_800x480.cpr
I got the cpr files from the latest 192_WVGA WM6.5 dump and edited them

Here they go for your customization pleasure:
(If you don't want honeycomb, just remove the "Hexagon Overlay Image" line on each one)

hello dear
i want "StartMenu_GridScene_480x800.cpr" & "StartMenu_GridScene_800x480.cpr" with Hexagon ,but in normal Columns (3/5 icon )
or cab !
sry for my english

Hi, I have a HTC Titan which is 230x320 or something like that.

So I found my cpr files and changed the columns to 4 and 6.

Worked great, exept the outside columns are just outside of the viewable screen. Is there a way to make the gaps between the icons smaller, so all the icons squish back on the screen? which part of the cpr file do I have to edit?

 

[ronin368]

nice

Thanks
all the best

I have the barebone rom, can I get 4 icons per row without any honeycomb/titanium?

yes you can:

edit the CPRs by yourself (with any test editor as "notepad")
and change the selected icon image to the stock one (can't remember the file name right now, but you can just compare this CPRs to a non-honeycomb CPR)

 

[royalbloodvi]

will this work if i only have barebone rom?

 

[gtrab]

will this work if i only have barebone rom?

of course

Is it possible to have 4 colums and 4 icons beside each other? What cpr files habe to be changed to get this? I really don't like that the icons aren't beside each other, I'd prefer iPhone styla, if you know, what I mean. But thanks anyway!
