Manila Start Menu -> Manila 2.5???

I realize the 2.1 Programs tab was linked to the Manila Start Menu, but I wonder...is there a way to port this over to 2.5? It doesn't make "Sense" that HTC removed it. Just a thought.

they probly removed it because 2.5 was made for winmo6.5! manilla 2.5 has program tabs on the home screen! and winmo 6.5 upgraded the start menu to a more user friendly interface! so htc must have thought that it would have been better to just use the quick launch links on the home screen and leave the start menu to winmo6.5 default!! i am looking into now to see if i can port it into my 6.1/manilla 2.5 rom along with the 6.5 lock software

Re: Manila Start Menu -> Manila 2.5???

Any progress on this?

I really like having 48+ (some people have 64 I think) shortcuts in a smooth-scrolling, easily managed menu. The 6.5 Start Menu is just too slow to scroll and if your ROM isn't a 6.5 build that supports the "free-moving" Start Menu icons, you're SOL in terms of easily organizing it. Sure you can arrange it in Explorer, but that's alot more work than is required in the Manila Start Menu.

yea I've seen the workarounds but I really like the manila start menu over most of the other options because its more customizable than the wm 6.5 menu and has the grid layout unlike the other workaround which is just a list

Re: Manila Start Menu -> Manila 2.5???

You may see this option, coming to a mod near you.
I'll let you guess which one.
No promises, but let's say it is being looked into.
