Manila Start Menu Hacks?_ Verizon Touch Pro2 MR2 Update includes Sense 2.5
 
2 Attachment(s)
I had the Manila Start Menu on my TP2(Sense 2.1) hacked to 4 columns(Co0kies 4 row for Sense2.1) and 60 possible app spots. I also had the 2nd,3rd and 4th row of four directed to folders(I had these rows locked). I could add or remove apps to all of these 60 that were not "locked".
Before the update to Sense 2.5 I exported the registry from HKLM/SOFTWARE/HTC/Manila/Program Launcher to a folder on my SD Card.
I knew that this would NOT create four columns on the Sense 2.5, but I did expect the 60 spots to be fully functional as they were before. They are not. I can only add and remove shortcuts down to spot 36.
I checked the (D word Value of) Program Launcher / totalItemCount and it is set to 60. All of my original shortcuts created are functional, but if I attempt to change them after spot number 36 (from the Start Menu) all values in the spot number I attempt to change are deleted. I can change the values back with Resco and the shortcut returns and is functional.
Does someone know of an additional value somewhere in the Registry that limits the total spots to "no more than 36"?
Also....Does anyone know how to get the 4 columns back in the Manila Start Menu/App Launcher? I have already got the "Windows Start Menu" at 4 columns.

The first attached image is what I had with Sense 2.1 and the second is what I now have now with Sense 2.5, any help would be appreciated!!

Thanks,

Help! I'm trying to flash back from MightyRom FF to MR1 so that I can go to MR2. At first I tried relocking before the MR1 flash and the process stopped at the multi-color window and didn't relock. Then I tried flashing MR1 since it was still unlocked and I get a rapid disconnect sound and the process stops. Looks like nothing will flash at all now. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Edit**
Finally got it to work by Flashing from the Bootloader. I'm in IT and sometimes I just HATE computers!

Man! You shoulda stayed unlocked and flashed X's fixed MR2 ROM.
Its exactly the same except he added safe tethering, HTC task manager and fixed the Sleep of Death issue.

I'm probably going to...but Mr. X didn't include the new radio in his and I wanted to get that. The main problem with MR1 is that the BT radio KILLED the battery and I wanted to make sure that I didn't have that with MR2. That may not be the same radio but better safe than sorry. I also didn't want to SIM unlock it to flash the radio alone. Too scared of a Brick I guess. I'll unlock it tomorrow and go to X if for nothing else to get rid of SOD when I run GolfLogix.

Thanks to all!

Thanks Razor. That's good to know. I'm guessing the main reason to change out the radio is for reception? I live in NC, USA and get pretty good reception. Any other benefits to the other radios?

Reception and data speeds are about it.
In my area the new radio does seem to hang onto 3g longer and better that the previous one did.
Im also not seeing the hanging in 1x like I was as bad before either.
But like razor said, X pulled the radio from the MR2 update the day after it was released.
you can flash them and they wont even hard reset your device. (al long as your HSPL unlocked)
So unlock, Flash X's fixed version and try em all out and see which one works best for you.
