Start Menu Remover Reg Edits?

brack21 · #1 (**permalink**) 03-14-2011, 10:52 AM

Does any know which reg edits to make to remove the start menu. I'm looking to make a stripped rom to run spb and have the start menu removed built into it. Thanks for any help.

Humm... I have heard that you can save about 30 megs by doing this. I am going to have to do some research!!

It's not a registry edit. You replace StartMenu_Global_480x800.cpr, StartMenu_Global_800x_480.cpr, StartMenu_GridScene_480x800.cpr, and StartMenu_GridScene_800x480.cpr with blank text files of the same name (no .txt extension). Alternatively, you could just edit the .cpr with a text editor and delete everything. Replace with original or restore ROM ones (if originals cooked in) to get the start menu back.

may not actually believe this but disabling the phone canvas (HTC dialer) and just using the MS dialer also releases a great deal of RAM and stops the leak to the point where u wont even have to remove the start menu

You have a cab that disables the start menu?

Could you share this.

I barely ever use start menu. I always use quick menu. Removing the start menu seems like a no brainer for me.

How would disable the htc dialer. Is it a reg edit?

Here is the start menu remover cab. I can't remember where I picked it up at.

i noticed that after you remove the start menu only the icons in the settings menu are missing from your quick links. How are you to edit some of those important settings with no start menu? using bigmaxsence on tp2
