Yes i know, but for example how do you translate this:
<characteristic type="E-mail.lnk">
<parm name="Rank" value="900000978" datatype="integer" />
<parm name="Icon" value="\Windows\Start_Icon_Msg.png" datatype="string" />
</characteristic>
!??

Nice, just found out...
If i paste here what it says in the file then all makes sence... hehehe
If someone is interested in translate the start menu icons i think this file can help...

What I did see immediate results from was reducing the size/depth of my start menu interface. I tend to use nested folders for navigation, and have many icons duplicated in various folders: eliminating the dups and some of the nesting drastically reduced my gwes memory use, navigation ease not withstanding. Using "fancy" icons also causes gwes to eat memory, so lean low on them if you want to save it. After making changes soft reset to see gwes.exe memory use reduction.

I'm going to see if using SPB MS3 is more memory efficient for main navigation.

Also, I observed Titanium panels do not effect gwes memory use, so perhaps using Titanium will be the better/future of navigation, which eludes to why M$ didn't make the start menu config. options a top priority.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

GWES- Graphics, Windowing and Events Subsystem.

There is a registry setting in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE] by the name of PORepaint. This setting determines how gwes handles the display.

By default it is set to 0- The display driver handles all suspend and resume operations.

Here is the possible setting quoted from M$:

ValueDescription
0- The display driver handles all suspend and resume operations.
1- GWE should save and restore the entire screen.
2- GWE should invalidate and repaint the entire screen.
3- GWE and the driver need to save video memory.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edit: I'm now using File Explorer as a Menu Interface. Basically, I've trimmed my Start menu\Programs to a select few "always use" shortcuts. I then moved the remaining main Programs folder structure to my SD card\My Documents\Program Menu folder. I created a linked alias with File Explorer to this folder (using SKKV Shortcut Manager), set options for icon display and no links display in MSE, and viola... a menu system that's alphabetic, much easier to manage, and best of all... drastically cuts gwes.exe memory consumption! I really like this system a lot, and until M$ figures out how to have gwes.exe better manage memory, will never use the start menu for more than a few programs again. If you're looking for a very cool and memory efficient alternative to the PITA system in WM65, then give this a try, you may wonder why it isn't done this way by default.

attrib -h -s -r *.* /s /d

I just do that from the root of my SYS files and make sure all files have all attributes removed.

that's as good as it gets.

Can you get to bootloader mode

I should explain a little more. The part that doesn't work is when I try and make a call. I get a message that says "your phone can not be authenticated". The rest of the phone works fine, only a little slow.

Thanks to my buddy chihliouma at xda-developers, here's a fix from some Chinese forum that allows Phone Canvas to work properly in WM6.5, i.e. without the messed up Contact list scrolling:

• Extract the files in the attachment below to your kitchen, OR
• If you have Phone Canvas already running on your WM6.5 phone, then terminate the cprog.exe process (with FdcSoft Task Manager or equivalent program), and then copy the files in the attachment to \Windows, and reset.

Confirmed working on my GSM Diamond and also the Elf/Elfin (GSM Touch)...


BTW, if you're cooking it, then make sure these files overwrite the existing versions (with the same file names) found in your SYS.

Thanks dsi76.

BTW; does this solve phone canvas conflicting with lockscreen?

Problem details ( Not sure anyone faced this ) : When the device is locked ( StartMenu -> Lock 'softkey' ); I get a call; And both phone canvas and lockscreen conflicts or crashes or slide to ans windows comes in front instead of lockscreen's.

Will this solve with this patched cprog.exe? Or is there any solution(s) for this?

Best Regards
