2.Also, working with a buddy on the same rom, my version/his version. he wants to change the honeycomb start menu to grid. Possible?

I know way too much to get into trouble, just enough to get back out, but not enough to be satisfied!

The file you want to change for the glow is StartMenu_Selection.png, located in the BASE_DPI_192 file in the SYS. You can replace the PNG with a totally transparent image to make it go away.

As far as the honeycomb goes, to the best of my knowledge, no you can't turn it into a grid. You can modifiy the look a bit, even take it down to just one row (search for the Awesome Start Menu at XDA) but you can't change the basic functionality.

Did you try dumping stock MR1 ROM, and try to cook it to see if it works?

I am guessing you need entries from initflashfiles.dat. But I might be wrong..

I tried but I wasn't sure what to do with the payload file. I'll have to research that more and then try what you suggest.

Trying to cook in 28236 last nite...and ran into "found a fake module without file....delet it...?" on quite a few items the ROM was cooking.

I'm sure this is user error (ME)...but I'm not sure what I did wrong. The .rar had 4 folders in it... 28236-Icons-threaded; Oldstyle-dialer; ROM; SYS. Inside the 28236-Icons-threaded folder was another set of folders Oldstyle dialer; ROM; SYS.

When I cooked...I dropped the contents of the SECOND set of ROM/SYS folders where they're supposed to go...but I left the contents int eh Oldstyle folder alone...I wasn't sure where to put that?

I'm not quite sure how to mix and match build parts...so some guidance would be much appreciated.

2. No, it's not configurable (even though StartMenuCust_480x800.cpr has an entry "HexagonGrid=TRUE". The basic hexagonal structure is embedded in a dll.

You know I can't stand to see a fellow chief struggle. So here are the EXTs that I use in my ROM. I had issues as well cooking them in then I edited the app.dat or app.reg and got them working. Hope they work for you as well.

Use calculins tweaks. Its one of those provxml files he has, and it gives small fonts like that.

Does anyont know what makes sense go completly black when it wakes up from sleep? going into the start menu then back always brings it back.
