gStart
| Description: A Start Menu replacement for Smartphone SP2003/2003 SE devices similar to the grid-style Start Menu of WM5.0 Smartphones, with more options for customization. Requirements: SP 2003/2003 SE (176x220 and QVGA) Last updated: October 18, 2005 |
Get the feel of WM5.0 grid-style Start Menu on your Smartphone SP 2003/2003 SE devices! You have the option to make gStart as your default Start application.
This is quite a programming task for me, considering the many limitations of VS.net 2003 on mobile device programming. I particularly had a difficulty in getting the handle and displaying program icons using .net compact framework. But hey, patience and perseverance pays! (and a lot of sleepless nights...) [=)]
I was really overwhelmed with the popularity of this application. I received a lot of emails requesting versions of this app in Deutsche, Nederlands, Italiano, and Español. With the help of some friends on the translations, I was able to add language packs.
How to install? Download the cab file below and install on your device. Next, download a language pack and install. Re-start gStart to see changes on the language.

How to install gStart?
Just download the gStart.cab file, copy to your device via activesync, and activate/run the cab file using explorer.
After installing gStart, download and install a language pack. Restart gStart, and your new language will take effect.

Thankyou very much for an excellent app. This is just what I have been looking for.
I have tried gridstyle home screens but they cannot cope with custom start menu folders and moved shortcuts (without editing xml). Whereas 'gstart' not only copes with the changes but includes an edit option to actually make such changes.
A note for anyone using Task Manger to close apps :
I have found that if you use 'Oxios Close Apps' from a shortcut on 'gstart' it closes all other apps without closing 'gstart', so it doesn't have to re-run.
'greatbal' you asked for feedback so here's some suggestions too (in order of preference):
1) Option to add custom icons for folders. (I am not sure if this is possible through the OS itself. I've searched MoDaCo to no avail.)
2) Option to automatically switch pages when you press up/down when you are at the top or bottom of the screen. (or maybe similar left/right functionality)
4) Option to customise softkeys 'Menu' and 'More'. (e.g. switch order, replace 'More' with 'Select' if 'More' not needed to select next page).
5) Option to prefix numbers 1-9 to the text for the icons on each page.
That should give you somethings to think about :D
Thanks again for such a professional app. I've tried 40 different apps in the month since I got my phone and this is definately my favourite. Cheers !
P.S. I just found the deeper menus for 'Change Image' and 'Change colour' option so removed them from my suggestions. You read my mind man! :D

I can not install gStart on my Samsung i300 because OpenNETCF.DLL is has not a digital signatur. What can I do?
At 1/15/2007,
greatbal said…
yes, it should work on "application unlocked" or decertified devices only. i haven't tested it on Samsung i300 though. Please try decertifying your device, you can search the web for that one.

I can't find decertifying i 300 in the web, can't you help me. I really want to use this tool.... thanks

greatbal said…
sorry, i don't have an i300. I can only see if i can do something if i have the device to work on.
maybe you could look for forums of i300 and ask help re decertifying it.

Hello gratbal, For some reason after I run gStart I can't see my icons. I have a T-mobile Dash and also when I set it as default it comes up with an error that says it can't find the path to gStart or the libraries associated. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, you can't run this on a WM5 device.
