TyTN II Enhancement: Large Start Menu for Larger Fingers

[Chuong Nguyen]

If you're entering our 1,000th Review Contest (http://pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=news&id=4673) at a chance of winning one of three TyTN II devices, you may want to bookmark some of these enhancements as they may come in handy.

This enhancement will definitely help those with larger fingers at trying to access the Start menu on their TyTN IIs. The enhanced Start menu will feature larger icons and fonts so it will be finger-friendly and comes to us from the folks at XDA-Developers (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344004&highlight=large+start+menu).

You can download the cab installation file here (http://rapidshare.com/files/69170665/JUVS_HTC_Enlarge_Start_Menu_0409.cab). Just remember to perform a soft reset before using it. A "Large Start Menu" setting option will appear under the Personal tab in Settings.

I haven't tested this on any other Windows Mobile Professional/Pocket PC program to see if it works, but it definiely works on the TyTN II/AT&T Tilt.

I just installed it on one of my 8525's and it works fine. This is one enhancement I am happy to see. It makes it so much easier to use the Start menu.

Yes, I finally use the Start menu with my fingers. Ever since they came out with hardware buttons for Start and OK, I have resorted to using buttons and the directional pad to navigate. Sometimes, it's just quicker to just tap on the screen.
