Change Start Menu - Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps

Is it possible to change the start menu with a cab file or by swapping some files? Or does it have to be cooked into the rom? I don't like the large one that comes with AT&T roms but like the smaller black one without the recent programs at the top (I think it's the default windows one?) like in aruppenthal's roms:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Start>>Settings>>>System>>>TouchFLO>>>Uncheck "enable large start menu"
Or a even better PROGRAM is quick menu, search for it and check it out.

I don't feel retarded at all or anything now.
Thanks for the help. I've used quickmenu before too but sometimes I just like the simplicity of the default menu.

Open with... and start menu rearrangement

After 3 PPC, i've finally understood what causes my problem....
I have always used Resco Explorer, and after an Hard reset using the "open with" feature, it appear like this screenshot:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Sometimes the apps list become void. Do you want to know WHY it happen?
..it's because there are no more programs in "Start->programs" directory after the rearrangement, (all the apps are into their conspecific folder), and no app is seen by resco to "open with"...
Now i am asking if there is some tweak to tell resco to look for apps also inside Start\Programms\subfolders

better keyboard layout

hey does anyone have a cab for a better keyboard type of thing? i'm looking for something like the iphones keys, big and spaced out pretty well. i've seen it on some of the roms, but i can't seem to find any cabs to download them.
google PCM keyboard. theres also happy tapping keyboard. i personally use fingerkeyboard. the keys are small but its pretty easy to get used to.
Hi,
maybe you can find a skin that suits you among the pack I made for PocketCM Keyboard here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3577639#post3577639

Start Menu Grid Theme

I was playing around with StartMenu_GridScene file after updating my JWMD Armids 1.2b and after going to sleep ..
and look what I did
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I was hoping I could put something at the bottom of the grid.. something like a quick lunch or fav apps .... does anybody done that before?
anyway, incase you want to try this.. I made a CAB file but first, please backup your original StartMenu_GridScene_240x320.cpr
Is there a way to have the icons in the Start menu lined-up horizontally and vertically just likelymy pic above
could i edit StartMenu_GridScene_480x800.cpr to get it??
I suggest look for an alternative start menu

[Q] Simple Number Pad

How do I get the keypad from eclair to use in current ROMs? Here's a picture of what it looks like (It makes it MUCH easier to push numbers when adding contacts):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I also know that I could just add contacts here: http://i55.tinypic.com/2rdf3aa.png but I prefer being in my phone-book/contacts menu to add Contacts through there.
.... number pad found in ROMs now:

[Q] Separate downloads folders in Android?

Hello there
I just noticed today that Android gives you the ability to decide where certain file extensions go, as in you choose the extension as well as the folder it would go to. I'd love to do that with pictures (.jpg, .bmp, .gif, etc.), music (.mp3, .aac, etc.), applications (.apk), compressed files (.zip, .rar) and such but I am not sure I know how to go about this.
This is a screen shot of what I am referring to:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If anyone has information about this and exactly how to do it I'd be very grateful.
Thank you very much and have a great day everyone.
