(found) Cascaded programs-only menu

(edit) Quickmenu in english is out !
Hola amigos, since I don't use wisbar anymore I'd love to find such a launcher.
I want cascaded, direct access to the (initially submenu) programs list
I don't need to have recent apps or settings (builtin start menu already does the job quite well).
Cubes are useless to me (too slow, uncomplete lists, don't use the contacts fav. page)
Do you know something like that, or is it still to develop ?
Would you like it as well ?
And at last, does someone know how to make a shortcut that launch builtin start menu ?
Thanks for reading !

SmallMenu seems to be the perfect candidate for you. the start menu that SmallMenu uses is customizable, so you can take out the Recent Programs and Settings as you wish, as well as adding other items such as Running Tasks or Task Management Tools, among other things.

or WisBar Lite.

Thanks for your answers, I just tried both of them:
Wisbar lite is too slow at scrolling application list and can't directly display programs (one need to open the programs submenu).
SmallMenu is really cool. It's uglish, but it does its job well.
I may write another launcher to fit exactly what I need with a better look.
Meanwhile, thank you for the hint !

So, what you want is a pretty SmallMenu? How pretty you want it to be? I mean.. er.. care for a photoshopped of what you are having in mind?

Ok, I just played a bit more with SmallMenu & it's almost perfect.
Actually, I'm member of the Ban-The-Stylus association
Above all I want bigger buttons (I should have mentionned it before), for easy thumb operation.
Also a better look would be nice.
So I need a bigger font (that looks better), separators between each row and a gradient background for each row as well.
The ability to have running tasks displayed in a submenu is also great, and so would be the closing icon if it was, once more, bigger.
Or much better, if we could close the application with tap 'n hold !
I'd be glad to purchase if that wishlist is fulfilled, the problem is, I can't even find a Contact link on their homepage, while the development seems active. Weird.
Do you have an idea how to contact them ?

Small menu is great and all. But isnt there any program out there that can cascade the start menu and dosent give you all the extra stuff thats in small menu and wisebar lite?
I just want a program that cascades the start menu. no task manger, no soft reset, no battery meter and so on....

You can disable them. I don't think your concern is about 20/30kb storage space ?

I've been using SmallMenuPlus for a few months and find it too useful to be without. Organize your programs into like directories and it's too easy.
With it being an execute file you can link it to a hard button, cube, shortcut or even a FTouchFlo launch swipe
Now I have no use for the default WM Start bar except to get into Settings (SmallMenu seems to forget where this is on every S/R).
I have no problem navigating and selecting with my thumb, although slightly larger icons wouldn't be rejected.
Taping the small icon in the top left corner can be hit-and-miss sometimes so I made my own larger one and select it with the 'Use external skin for start button' option. This way I can't miss it but still leave a little room to get the default Start bar if I need to. Make your icon 25 high and any width, mine is 42x25.

No one is aware how to contact Small Menu authors ?
Do we get an email address to contact them when we register ?
I'd like to see if they can do something about my requests before I register.... but no forum, no contact form, no email, too bad

alternatively you could try psw indibar 2.7.0 for cascading menus, (have tried the lot and to me, this one's the keeper), and it tops up by giving ram and or battery meters on the top bar, or anywhere you want.
Customization is a pain in the beginning, but once done you;ll be happy

by the way, this is his email address: [email protected] egg on him to release an english version if you like quick menu as i do^^

Thanks a lot for both suggestion and contact link, I'll give them a try later tonight !

I have sent a mail to that guy. His other software is in english so I think we have a chance.

I'm giving up on trying it, too lazy ^^
Does it support font customization (size) ?

Lastnikita,
This is something I am very interested in, if that gives you any motivation.
I too used to use Wisbar but it was far too hit and miss for my liking. Sometimes it would load in, sometimes not. It all depended on teh theme in use at the time as it was sensitive to some, not sensitive to others. In the end I pulled it.
Will keep a watching brief on this thread to see how you get on.
Cheers
WB

Not to sound like a commercial but if plain old vanilla cascading start menu is what you want then why not use WA3 with the default theme which looks pretty much like the WM6 default and disable all the bells and whistles?
I've never heard of a case where the default theme wouldn't load -- it was usually the fancy aftermarket themes that added all of the extra graphics and sounds that caused the loading problems.

can't you just use wm5newmenu?

I'm just confused. I installed MortScript first, then I copied the cap to my machine (MDA V) and installed it.
Then I started it.... and.... and.... nothing happens
What did I do wrong?

Great idea, and probably a great set of tweaks.
I have a similar problem to siflaar. I realized, that I had to change all references to "Program Files" in every .mscr file, since it's called "Programmer" in my native language. I've also changed the same thing in the link in my Start Menu.
I can launch the application fine, and I get all the different settings. Every change I try to make is succesful according to the app., but when the device is restarted, there is no change what so ever..
Any suggestions?
I'm a Mortscript novice, but would it be possible to make an "international" version, that would work with any language out of the box?

Apologies for this oversight. I assume that the registry entries are specific to your language also, therefore although the registry updates have been added they are not in right places. I am working on tidying up the scripts and will try to make an international version. I will let you know when it's done.
Thanks for your input.

I have just noticed another code mistake in the BT Notifications. I will fix now and upload version 1.4 shortly.

Version 1.4 Uploaded - BT Notification Fixed (Hopefully!)

That's good news. Thank you. I'll wait patiently.

I have recently flashed a WM6.5 ROM and there are a number of tweaks that do not work. The worst for me is the disable power button. I am trying to fix this now and will update the software as soon as I have a solution.

The Power Button Options Should Now Be Fixed. Fingers Crossed. Due to Registry Differences I have uploaded a WM6.5 Version which should overcome some of the issues.

Well,probably it is possible to add a battery icon,but I have to contact developer of this program. I think that the upgraded version of this program is currently in stage of development,so we will see.

this is one of my favorite apps- easiest in call recording option ive ever found! thank u sooo much-

[SOLUTION] Disable HTC Volume control and task bar customizations

Hi, I haven't seen anyone posting information about this here, so in case somebody is interested in disabling the HTC volume control by bringing back the classic "baloon-style" one and/or enabling classic responce to the click in the taskbar area, here is how this can be done:
Bring back classic volume control:
Under HKLM\Services\HTCVOLUME find a value called "DLL" and delete or rename it to some other name. Reboot the device.
Classic notifications:
Under HKLM\Services\NOTIFICATIONMANAGER find a value called "DLL" and delete or rename it to some other name. Reboot the device.
If you're changing both, no need to do a reboot in between. Only one is required. Attached are the screenshots to demonstrate the end result.
NOTE: If you don't disable HTC notification manager, then you won't be able to click the volume icon in the task bar to adjust the volume. Only volume buttons on the left side will work.

Awesome find on the classic task bar mate... its enabled the full use of one of my programs.... many thanks.. (and if you dont mind I have linked this find on another site regarding the program I use so others can benefit)...

I wonder why would you want this ?

How do you disable the keyboard sound when dialing without disabling the SMS sound notification?
It's driving me nuts.
Thanks!

Because the new HTC system of taskbar which brings up the task list instead of the classic bubble disables some programs full functions... I use a program that enables a pop up to translate chinese text and it doesnt work with the new HTC task bar, but with the classic enabled it works fine and I would much rather have full functionality of that program than the fancy new gimmick...

To add to that, I personally don't like that a simple volume adjustment or click on task bar hijack the whole screen. I guess, old habbits die hard.
I also didn't like that new SMS notification does not have "dismiss" and "save as read" options, only "hide". It turned out that this was caused by yet another HTC customization. (Dear HTC, this "improvement" is just pathetic.)

would a value of 255 (ff) not do it? at least make then incredible unresonsive or?
i will check the kernel registers if we got some other bit's to modify so we can disable them..
btw,
looks like Malata actually took Honeycomb 3.0 solutions into account here buttonwise.

here is your fix , you asked for:
here is the command to disable light buttons completely (will enable after a poweroff)
DISABLE BUTTONS
Code:
echo regctrl=0x8800 >/sys/devices/virtual/input/input7/tegra_capsensor
ENABLE BUTTONS
Code:
echo regctrl=0x8801 >/sys/devices/virtual/input/input7/tegra_capsensor
Requested by user, not my idea here. but probably very handy with AndroidOS 3.0 when its out. (good for TntMod as they got buttons on screen)

thank you Dexter
