v0.98 is the latest
Wow, great... version QVGA, please...
Good one! I will include it in my theme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=504716 if you don't mind.
wvga please, and would it be possible to (may b discuss with the other CHome devs) get all those panels en merge them in one application so we can decide for ourselves which ones to use and not to use. One app to modify Titanium would be great!
mouki_9 keeps his fingers crossed....

GREAT ADD ON! THNX for this ! ... I see U know WM 6.5 more than me ... Maybe somebody know how to change path to pictures directory ? I want to display (on WM 6.5 Today) pictures from Internal not device.
Yes !
That's an excellent contribution to Titanium.
I will try to integrate this in my cpr.
THANKS !!!
First off, great work!!!
Secondly, how'd you manger to get this to work. I noticed there's no cpr's in the CAB. I was going to make the layouts for qvga etc lol.

NetCF 3 and 3.5 are just extensions ot the 2.0 framework. So Favorite People should run on 2.0 or higher. If you'd like to help me out and test that would be great. I plan on installing a fresh rom in a couple days and will test myself with 3.5 only.
thanks

very good

Thanks drkfngthdragnlrd! You made all this possible.
Hehe, I was waiting to see how long it would take for someone to ask how I'm deploying this. Deployment was more difficult than the app itself. It's a mult-step process I'll try to explain real quick.
1. I use the cab to install the required program files and start menu icon as usual.
2. I use a custom embedded setup.dll in the cab to perform the following functions:
a. Check the "Plugins" registry value for "ATContacts" and append it if it's not there.
b. Check the "ExtensibilityXML" registry value for "ATContacts" and insert it in front of "CPhone" if it's not there.
c. This is the big one. Get the device resolution to determine the names of the Titanium cpr files. eg: Titanium_(width)x(height).cpr for portrait and opposite of that for landscape. Then check with RegularExpressions if my ATContacts markup is already in the .cpr files. If it's there delete it incase it's old and then add the latest markup appropriate for that screen size.
All this makes the plugin fully compatible with any other installed plugins or customizations.
Go ahead and do the QVGA layouts if you want and send them. I'll take the ATContacts portion out and insert it into my installer. It will know what resolution to install automatically.

If you can give me your original P&L 480x640 layouts. I can make qvga/wqvga/wvga and square. and than just send it back to youIt's simply a matter of just adjusting the left and top values of the original. QVGA being half of VGA. As for the w version, just moving the icon on the right over how ever many pixels bigger the screen is in landscape.
Oh yeah, that is a great method for installing it. The only suggestion I'd make is not use cphone as some people are using the chome all-in-one plugin which means they won't have cphone in the list. CClock is probably the best bet as almost everyone wants the clock.
And is it possible to create a similar plugin which would display a list of recently made and received calls?
great contribution to titanium =)
looking forward for wvga to include it in my rom
Great little addition to Titanium, thanks!
To confirm, this works great on a CDMA Diamond running FuFu Rom 4.5.3.1 which is rocking .NET Compact Framework v3.5.7283.0. Just an FYI, this will not install to Internal Storage, so make sure that you're installing to Device.
For the next version, I would be really excited to see contacts sorted alphabetically if possible.
Thanks again!

That is already there, it is the phone tab, it displays normally missed calls and if you tap on it you get the call log.

HTC Start Menu(best for 96dpi to make startmenu bigger and easier to use)
Tips/Updates (by ltxda):
- Save As enhancement. Go to Settings, System, select File Dialog Changer and check "Exchange Standard File Dialog". This changes out the standard Save As window and provides an enhancement where you can choose any folder/subfolder on your device and navigate the structure when trying to save files from any source.
- Battery/Memory indicators at top of screen. Each bar is started by its own file in the Startup folder. The "qwertyMemory.lnk" file runs the Memory indicator and can be disabled by deleting or moving this file out of the StartUp folder. The "dciBattery.lnk" file runs the Battery indicator which is the top bar and can be disabled by deleting or moving this file out of the StartUp folder.
- FingerTouch Keyboard: By default keyboard option 5 is selected. If you prefer QWERTY go into the input options and change the default keyboard layout.
- Messenger Mobile: The issues previously reported by other users and noticed by myself seems to have been "fixed". The MSN network sucks BUT Messenger Mobile seems to be dealing with connection drops and synching of contacts better than in previous versions/releases.
- Today Screen: All/default plugs have been deactivated. Just go to Settings, Personal, Today and go to the Items tab to reactivate what you want.
- Reminders: I'm annoyed by the constant reminder notifications after the initial notice. To disable this annoyance go to Settings, Personal, Sounds & Notifications, Notifications tab, select Reminders from the drop down and uncheck "Repeat". Not sure if this bothers anyone else but it really annoyed me and I've seen a couple of posts asking how to disable this.
- wkTask: Two nice features...of course they are in the manual...to get back to Today screen from any program....click-hold the area where the X typically is and drag left. This takes you right back to the Today screen. To minimize the current app, click-hold the X area and drag down. Very useful little program that has replaced Magic Button for me. Also allows per app control. Thanks Hirad for the recommendation! Also, This resides in the area where the X typically sits to close programs, etc. Start wkTask from Programs, click and hold the "X" area and go into preferences for wkTask. Make sure it's set to autostart by going to Startup tab and clicking the corresponding button. This is a great task manager.
- Vijay555's VJCandela aka Flashlight: It's been reported on other threads that prolonged activation of the flash light LED may cause it to burn out so use at your own risk. I have used it without problems. Comes in very handy. Also great for blinding your enemies before an attack! ;-p
- To get the look show above for htc home, please install htc home customizer and select alien ice clock, iphone-alt icons, transparent background, and stardock weather icons.
- HTC Home customizer that is in the addons has a problem where once u install it it'll look to download the cab for htc home but errors out with error "Plugin Not Found. Plugin was not installed. Please report this error." We included in the addons the cab for htchome found on emunutz's site. please install this cab first then start up the customizer.
- (added 10/29/07) to change default layout of teksoft's fingertouch please so to start/settings/input and click on options. change defaultkb to the option u usually use(1 for me).
- Action Screen if started in landscape after any reset/power off then on will not start. switch to portrait and then back to landscape and all will be ok.
- TCPMP starts in portrait and is used in portrait but after closing with X will make the phone go back to landscape. i use this as a oppertunity to activate action screen so it'll work in landscape.
- from looking quickly at the xml the sprint aka quicklauncher today plugin can be customized with new icons and new links. i believe u can also add to it via the xml.
- customizer for the ftouchflo can be found in system folder within programs. it is also recommended to put a shortcut into startup so ftouchflo is on always.
- wktask is missing the skins and will display a error message first time u start it. this was done because the default skin looks better and it mkes a few files less in rom.
To Upgrade (by ltxda):
- You agree that you do so at your own risk with absolutely no liability resting with xda-developers nor the maker of this fine ROM! And to be 100% clear, if you screw up your device it's YOUR FAULT. If you don't agree don't touch. ;-)
- Unlock phone using OliPro's unlocker or hardspl. This is needed even if ur phone is sim unlocked. the rom needs a cid unlocked device. cid unlocking is reached using olipro's hardspl or the unlocker.
- Install ROM...
- Done!
- Enjoy and report any bugs.\

I'm not sure if it's because I'm still half-asleep but even that snapshot doesn't really tell me what Snapvue is, other than that it looks like a slightly different today screen to the Kaiser's.
What is its functionality and what does it add?
Just interested.

I've just read the top post - it's a home screen replacement. SOWWY.

- WkTask enable: it is disabled by default and must be enabled from the start menu and set to start on startup(if prefered). It will place the battery bar on top like in previous bars if the setting is selected. The version is not the latest because the latest causes issues.
- wkTask: Two nice features...of course they are in the manual...to get back to Today screen from any program....click-hold the area where the X typically is and drag left. This takes you right back to the Today screen. To minimize the current app, click-hold the X area and drag down. Very useful little program that has replaced Magic Button for me.

- FingerTouch Keyboard: By default the option is not set to to layout 1. This can be changed via the options or via the bottom left corner button.
- Today Screen: All/default plugs have been deactivated except for htc home. Just go to Settings, Personal, Today and go to the Items tab to reactivate what you want.
- Reminders: I'm annoyed by the constant reminder notifications after the initial notice.

- HTC Home customizer: the version on the forums will mess up the htc home plugin because of the new larger vga images. the addon cabs have the older version that also worked in all dpis.
- TCPMP: starts in portrait and is used in portrait but after closing with X will make the phone go back to landscape.
- Config App: A new config app can now be found in settings under system. This app is made thanx to cmonex and will allow u to do many things. If u any have suggestions including what to add please pm me.
- Touchflo: Touchflo has the scroll sounds enabled by default. this can be disabled via the system tab in settings. settings for touchflo are also found in the new config app.
- VueFlo: the sensitivity for changing orientation can be adjusted in the system tab of settings. orientation changing can be turned on and off via the config app.
- SRS Wow HD: it can be found in the system tab in settings. use this to get surround sound and to improve sound. it is mostly used for the speakers or a headset.
- Large Start Menu: i have moved the settings for the large start menu from personal to system tab in settings. u can enable or disable the large start menu from in there.
- USB to PC: a new usb to pc tool is included. it allows mass storage now and is found under the connections tab in settings.
- Opera browser: easy configuration can be done by typing opera:config into the adress bar. it already has been modded though to allow up to 50 tabs and to have a ie7 user id. a cab in program files/system will make opera have a x7510 user id again.
- Customizations: only sdautorun.exe is ran and if finds the sdconfig.txt on ur sd will execute ur settings and reset. if not will end the customizations and allow you to use the phone. the phone might need to be turned back on.
- skype, weatherpanel, igo, video playback: turn off htc home and if needed install the one in the addons. it has been found htc home causes issues with these because of it being vga size and a resource hog.
- missing icons and same welcomehead in all dpis: these are caused by realvga. tobias needs to update his realvga to fix these issues cause by the new aku1.
- vga album: it can hang sometimes. this could be also associated with htc home. if it does hang just do a soft reset. this is do to the app being vga. newer versions in the future will fix the loading issues.
- enlarge menus: the setting to turn off the enlarged menus is found in the config app. there also is a advanced button to adjust how big u want the menus. if u really want a finger friendly menu, try 1600 but dont go above it.
- apptodate: this is a interesting app we included that will once ran check for new version of the rom and config app.
- wmp in 96dpi portrait: there is a issue with it starting. the work around is to run wmp in any other mode and go to the skin selection and select the proper skin in there then coming back to this mode.(tested by going to 192 dpi and selecting the 192 dpi skin)

hahah.. yea thins kind of bull always occurs.. but hey if your patient enough you will finally get what you waited for right??
long thirsty
thanks for coming
yes, it is great that AP4 is coming soon; but if you need to post about pressing F5 or thanking the team, why not post in one of the other threads discussing the same topic.
And when it is released, please try to refrain from posting things like Downloading now or thanks for the great Rom.
If you really want to thank Pawel, ltxda, Boinger66, Olipro and Cmonex, why not click on one of their signatures and donate to the project or them individually.
If you must post about "great rom thanks", "downloading now"
"getting another beer","American Beer is mostly water", Euro Beer tastes like the crap at the bottom of the keg",etc; please post those in the other bull **** threads..
AND if you like the Rom DONATE a few bucks to the AP Team!
Ok, Chris...you can delete this and the other crap posts in this thread!
Thanks for all the hard work AP Team. Hitting F5 and charging my X7501.
waiting as well
bugs
hey guys does anyone know if the bugs for th 66% battery been fixed? what about the other bugs that the bets testers submitted? whats still buggy in the ap4 so far?
cant wait to flash it soon.. major reason for ap4 is the battery percentage driver and the orientation that switches automatically..
I made these cabs from the latest HTC devices:
HTC Rhodium
HTC Topaz
HTC Tachi
HTC Leo
RELEASE NOTES:
These will only work with Windows Mobile builds 21000+
If you DO NOT have a 21000+ build on your device, you can use francarl's Menu Enhancement Loader V1.1. I have personally tested this on my Fuze running the stock ROM and it works PERFECTLY!! Kudos to francarl!
These may or may not work on WM6.5. I don't use WM6.5 so I can't test them on it.
THESE CABS HAVE BEEN MODIFIED TO WORK ONLY ON VGA! THEY WILL WORK ON WVGA BUT WILL BE VERY SMALL!!
IF YOU WANT TO DISCUSS QVGA, PLEASE POST IN THIS THREAD HERE.
Installation instructions:
Uninstall any version of the HTC Menu Enhancement you may have previously installed.
Soft-reset.
Install cab.
Soft-reset.
Enjoy!!
You can find the downloads in post 2 of this thread. Screenshots are in post 3.
Descriptions and Download Links
Tachi Menu Ehancement:
This came from a WM6.5 Tachi OEM. This has been tested on builds up to 21051 and works great. I personally am using 21051 and will confirm that it works perfectly. This has not been tested on WM6.5 so please report your results!!
Topaz Menu Enhancement:
This came from a shipped official Topaz ROM. I have tested it on my ROM(21051) and it works fine. Not tested on WM6.5.
Rhodium Menu Ehancement T-Mobile:
This came from the T-Mobile Rhodium 21051 ROM. I have also tested this on my ROM and it does work. Not tested on WM6.5. This menu Enhancement has a blue highlight instead of green.
Rhodium Menu Enhancement:
This is the original cab I posted back when I first started the thread. It is from the European HTC Rhodium 3G ROM. Since I originally posted it I made a small improvement to landscape menu width. This has been tested to work by many but I will tell you right now, IT DOES NOT work with my 21051 ROM. The only way I was able to get this to work was to replace the GWES.exe from the 21018 build before building the ROM.
Rhodium 6.5 Menu Enhancement:
This is from a leaked WM6.5 Rhodium 6.5 ROM. This will work on both WM6.1 and WM6.5 but you will not be able to scroll in WM6.1. WM6.5 users please report your results.
Leo 6.5 Menu Enhancement:
This is from the new and un-released HTC Leo. It is made for WM6.5 but as you can see in the screenshots below, I have it installed on a WM6.1 ROM to test and scrolling doesn't work if you install this cab on WM6.1. It has been modified for VGA from WVGA. Please test and report your results.
Leo 6.1 Menu Enhancement:
This is the same cab as the 6.5 version above but I've modified it to allow scrolling with WM6.1. DO NOT USE THIS VERSION WITH 6.5!!! This is also modified
Rhodium 6.1 Menu Enhancement - Sprint:
This is a cab put together by smotrs. It's actually a modified version of my original Rhodium Menu Enhancement cab including a custom Sprint PCS Skin he threw together. He already uploaded it so I'm not going to post it here but you can find it in Post 404 and a screenshot of his skin in Post 405. Thanks smotrs for your skin!!

why not just use francarl's fingermenu?
it looks exactly the same and works great

Yes it looks similar but isn't nearly as fast or fluid. When I tried it about a month ago on my Touch Pro it was disgustingly lethargic... It's also not created by HTC and so yes I could use fingermenu but at the same time I would much rather have this menu extension instead and it's worth the effort.
In which resolution are you trying? QVGA, WVGA, VGA?
I have only fast looked in your cab, in your screen appear 6 items but in the cab it says that it has to show 8 in portratimode
Also have you played whith the position of the NavilIcon/NaviHW (modifying the registry)?

I have a VGA device(Touch Pro) and it's set to show 8 items but for whatever reason it only displays those 6 items unless you scroll manually. I tried reverting the reg to only 6 items but it still has the same effect for me.

yeah that makes sense, having an officially made app is usually better (HTC is amazing so i get where you are coming from)
i do like that oyu can scroll with your finger thru fingermenu, and disable the arrows.. is that possible with this? (not disabling arrows, the scrolling through with fingerstroke?)

Those values I haven't played with. I'm afraid that if I change them the extension may become un-usable.
I think the problem is that you have taken this from a WVGA, and it thinks that the arrow is not int he place you view. You will need to modify the coordinates to say where is the arrow.
Basically you will need to modify the 'y' to adjust your screen height
YES!
It Works Great in BalckStone
the arrow is working
It would be great if someone could port this to VGA an QVGA...
I will try it when I have spare time, but basically to por it (maybe someone is capable of trying it):
VGA:
1) Change the xxxxHW items in the registry to reduce the 'y' length of the screen
QVGA:
1) Change the bmps to reduce it is width/height
2) Modify the xxxHW items in the registry to reduce the 'x' and the 'y' of the screen
3) Adapt the xxxIcon and xxxTile to the new coordinates of the bmps
very interesting cab this one.
CUIHandler.dll (which is in this cab) exports a single function, CustomTrackPopupMenu. This function probably replaces standard TrackPopupMenu API.
I've done the same thing in my FingerMenu app. My app inject a dll in gwes.exe process than replaces in ce kernel the address of original TrackPopupMenu with the new one.
The interesting thing is that in hts menus replacing with custom procedure is done (I think) by specifying a simple registry key that is:
HKLM\System\GWE\Menu
CUIHandler=00000001
perhaps only newest builds of windows mobile have this feature.
Seeing as it works on the BlackStone but not the X1, and that it looks like it is only activated by a simple registry setting, would something as simple as replacing the gwes.exe with the one from a build > 21000 allow this htc menu to work?

gwes.exe is a kernel process that manage all graphics apis. I really don't think that a simple replace can works.Try instead to build a ROM with version >21000.
But X1 is WQVGA (or not?) so I think it will not work correctly.
Another .dll file is required
HTCScroll.dll:
wow this looks so much like francarl's FingerMenu it's unreal a clone
I take it this will only work on HTC phones?
I'm looking for such a program for my iPAQ 910c, but at the moment FingerMenu doesn't seem to work (possibly due to the landscape display).
Well I somewhat got it to work ion my QVGA Device. I rezized the 2 graphic files to 240 x 109. I also changed the following 2 Registry Entries, \HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCMenus\ItemHW to 220,36,240,36 and \HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCMenus\NaviHW to 220,23,240,23 and reset and it seems to function well, but the graphic is messed up. It scrolls well and the arrows work. The Text Color is good, it is just the background part of the graphic is like a color pixel mess.
Still working on these 2 entries xxxIcon and xxxTile to the new coordinates of the bmps to try and fix as suggested previously.
Will update soon, hopefully

Hey - couple of things
1. All in all, excellent ROM.
2. Minor suggestions -
- I'd like to remove stuff like fring because I don't use it. In the future versions, is it possible to install it via a cab so that i can uninstall it?
- Maybe organize the apps into specific folders (other than one folder called tool)?
- ATT Fuze KB didn't work out of the box (cab fix works). Perhaps mod this?
- Remove the horizontal lines in the today screen for non-manila, non-chrome users?
Other than that, think of adding a "donate" link

for donate link, i am doing this for my raphael phone and i am not able to test each and everything on my Raphael, so i just publish and let others to test the ROM with me and use their feed back to make my ROM better. so i don't think i am in need of donation

please do hard reset in order to position TF3D properly"

No, you need to look in the Herald ROM forum for those:

You cannot put a ROM on a different device without some major rebuilding of 75% of the ROM.

this is the latest leaked sys/xip 23409 build, so expect bugs, and please report here if you found bugs and comments to tune this rom perfect, just not the bugs, if you guys know fix as well, please post it.
for the TF3D issue, i think u guys noticed the start and close button Microsoft has been moved to bottom, and the height of the bottom bar also increased, and top bar (status) size got decreased as well, so TF3D will not position well, it will have a small space between top status bar and TF3D, to resolve this issue i am using an EXE file (thanks to bikeandestroyx) and its run on windows start up and move the TF3D window certain pixels up.
when u restart TF3D (for me i shuffle positions of tabs for my convenience) u also need to run this file (to make it easy, just restart the phone, and things will be alright).
i think u got it clear. please feel free to post your comments/questions/advice/fix....

Couple of more things -
1. I feel the responsiveness of the phone falls down whenever it rings. It took me about 10 seconds to answer a call yesterday after I noticed my phone ringing and started pushing the green button. It may be with the dialer, but just letting you know as fyi.
2. I saw that you assigned "Tasks" to the hold-and-press action of the call button, but it would be a good idea to have the task manager assigned to that or some other button. Again, it's a personal preference that I think others may like. Maybe the PTT button?
3. Love the smooth animation between some windows.
Just started trying out, run into first problem.

Looks like HTC volume control does not work(or is missing completely). Shows ugly default popup.
Is there any way to fix it?
Aside of that, very good ROM. Thanks.
And yes, +1 vote to remove fring.
seems like Microsoft keep changing their button location and size of top and bottom bars as well, i think we should wait till it get finalized

This application was disabled by Microsoft, no idea why (may be there is new interface coming for it, i think that's y they put redirect option)
to get Owner information back, Delete "Redirect" registry entry from [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Owner]
use total commander on tools to do the above
Thanx!

MMAppLauncher is a full Start Menu and Settings replacement similar to Android. It does more than just replace your original, boring start menu. It keeps track of your most 20 recent run apps, as well as allowing you to save an app as favorite. Another unique feature that MMAL has to offer is the ability to run any process (similar to Run under Windows) with given arguments. On top of the cool features mentioned, MMAL also allows you to modify any shortcut name and icon of your choice with a few touches of your finger tip.
Features:
Full Start Menu replacement
Keep tracks of 20 recent run apps
Save apps as favorite for easy access
Run processes similar to Windows Run (supports arguments)
Full Settings replacement
Requirements & Supports:
.NET Compact Framework 3.5
Windows Mobile 6.x Professional
QVGA, VGA, WVGA, and Square Screen Support
Landscape Support
AppToDate Support
Version 1.0:
1.0.100901
No limitation.
Wow great! But would it be possible to integrate a black or darker background? The white is really bright
I'll be loading this tonight and will report any bugs. One question though, does it support folders? Thanks!
Great Idea! I'll test this and send my feedback.
I'm a fan of all your apps bro!
Nice job.
-------------------------------------------------
EDIT:
My Feedback:
Scrolling is smooth.
The idea of "Rounded gray boxes" is great.
The last tab does not work and app closes with "ArgumentNullException".
My Suggestions:
- Maybe implanting some kind of cache for shortcuts reduces the time when app starts on reboot.
- It would be nice to allow user to create groups or folders for apps and be able to organize them.
- For users with many application shortcuts a "Quick Search" function or an "alphabetical selector" (like the one in Manila contact manager) is really time-saving.
- "Skin" support will also be cool!
Does it disable the WM 6.5(.x) start menu?
Looks like a decent implementation. Nice work.
Will report back my experience with it.

Hmm that's strange for the ArgumentNullException. I've tested on stock rom and stock emulator 6.5 and 6.5.x. They work fine
I like the skin and cache suggestion. But when the app starts up it still needs to read from the cache to memory which still takes time.
You can add your apps to favorite to easier searching.

There's an option to override the start menu. When it's on, clicking on the start menu will bring up MMAppLauncher. When it's off, windows original start menu will be shown.

This part is not working for me.
It overrode the Start Menu one time and then would no longer open after that.
Neither this app, or the WM Start Menu.
Although it's possible, that there may be a conflict with the new WM Start Menu softkey in CHT 2.0? Maybe something to look at anyhow.
Nice Beta app. otherwise. Also, not sure what the last icon on the bottom bar is(settings?), but it crashes with an exception for me.

The Start Menu might have some conflict with CHT. Also, the last button is Settings. It strange how it crashes as I've tested on WM 6.5 stock rom, 6.5 and 6.5.x emulator I'll look into it.
Will test this one

This looks SWEET
I'll try this program, looking for an good Start Menu alternative (since it eats so much RAM)
My ROM: TouchPro2 Simplicity 21679 - 6.5.X with CHT installed (not cooked in)
My comment:
Played with it. After installing it seems to work pretty smooth.
It takes some time before all programs shows up but I think that's because my start menu folder is to full.
The start menu overide only works when the program is already active (process is open). It's posible to use AMEBA for this one.
CHT button settings that probaly solve your problem with CHT (i know the button is ugly, just to get the idea).

The NETCF error, it comes when I play with the start menu, a soft-reset didn't help. I'm sure that NETCF is installed, because when I trying to install it says there's already a newer version installed. GOT ANY IDEA?
.
Disabling the standard start menu:
This is all before i've installed the cab to disable the standard start-menu.
Installing the cab doesn't change anything, hard to tell if it free some RAM.
Afther that I enabled the Start Menu button (softkey) by adjusting the following registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Bubble Tiles]
"TextModeEnabled"=dword:00000001
"HardwareStartKeyEnabled"=dword:00000000
"HardwareDoneKeyEnabled"=dword:00000000
When the buttons are visible again they don't have any function
After all that i've used AMEBA to start MMAppLauncher when I press the Start Menu and it works.
The start-menu hardwarekey is easy to adjust in the regular button settings.
After all this configuring/tweaking:
No matter if the program is started already or if i'm in CHT or not, MMAppLauncher will start when i hit the start button.
Hopefully this testing and adjusting helps you with this great app.

Yes, it's possible to have an option for dark or light theme similar to Windows Phone 7.

I see you listened to my suggestion for the app. Great work! I will install it today.
I would say that reproducing the start menu/programs folders with all the subfolder navigation would make this app stand out from the crowd. I would guess that there are many out there like me that have too many apps installed to not have them organized in subfolders.
Also, maybe a setting for how many columns of icons to show- 3 or 4 or 5 or maybe even 6 for those with larger screens.
Great work though. I really like your apps.
