installed the "HTC SPSC Manila" extension cab, all went as expected except that the Program Launcher tab was missing. not sure if its a feature or a bug but i prefer it to the new winmo's start menu... i had to add the tab manually to the 26948339_manila:
<Page Order="4" Name="programs.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="[[IDS_PROGRAMS]]">
<ComponentReference Name="page" Mode9Path="HTC\programlauncher.mode9" Component="GizmoRoot" SmartComponent="true" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_normal" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Programs_Off" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_selected" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Programs_On" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_preview" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Programs_Preview" />
</Page>
PS: sorry if this has already been mentioned in this thread already, i didnt read the whole thread.
