sorry i wasnt clear

Well here is the scoop... I have a k800i, i upgraded to k810i firmware as well as filesystem, i had photo fix plus track id... well long story short with my phone flashed to k810i software I decided to change the menus i successfully updated the menu as well as got the opera mini shortcut going instead of play now. but the in the shortcut menu the track id has disappeared
this is where my problem starts, i would like to have my track id working (the one on k810i software) and keep my upgraded menu icons

again I apologize for not being specific but hopefully you guys can understand me now and offer me some help. ill take any help you guys will give.


in return i will over any help i can.

Thanks

Excellent! Thanks for the clarification, that means I can give a relevant answer

What you need is to add the trackid element from K810 menu.ml file. You can cut and paste elements from one location to another (or from one menu.ml to another).

Some of the modded menus are based on K800, so don't include the trackid element in the menu. What icon set are you using?

the menu is called future, i have a pic posted of it on page 4 as well

very nice icon set, should i use the track id element from any k810 menu?

I would be ever so great full if you could show me what the track id element looks like as im not as smart with this stuff yet.

please and thank you!

hi guys!

im just wondering if we can make submenus of our own.
i was trying to make PLAY NOW (which is icon1) to open a submenu that i myself created...

for example, under that submenu is Opera Mini, Mini Commander and Video Maniac.

get the picture?! no matter how hard i try, just cant seem to make it go like that.

i wonder if this line at the very bottom of our menu.ml has to do something about it

Code:













notice this
Code:
<!-- Add elements with application menus here -->



max! help please!

Son't you hate bbcode sometimes!

Rocky, I don't think so. I have opera under submenu like this:
Code:

<!-- Desktop Element 1 -->
<element id="Applications Menu">
<label type="name" textid="DB_APPLICATIONS_TXT"/>
<icon pos="left" source="file">programs.png</icon>
<icon pos="shortcut" source="file">programs.png</icon>
<menu id="menu_programs_id">
<label type="title"> <text>Applications</text> </label>
<element id="Applications">
<label type="name" textid="DB_APPLICATIONS_TXT"/>
<icon pos="left" source="internal">ORGANIZER_MENU_APPLICATIONS_ICN</icon>
<link type="internal"/>
</element>
<element id="MiniCommander">
<label type="name"> <text>Mini Commander</text> </label>
<icon pos="left" source="file">commander.png</icon>
<icon pos="shortcut" source="file">commander.png</icon>
<link type="java" javasuitename="MiniCommander" javasuitevendor="Yuri Kudrin" javasuitepoint="MiniCommander"/>
</element>
<element id="Opera Mini">
<label type="name"> <text>Opera Mini</text> </label>
<icon pos="left" source="file">opera.png</icon>
<icon pos="shortcut" source="file">opera.png</icon>
<link type="java" javasuitename="Opera Mini 2.00" javasuitevendor="Opera Software ASA" javasuitepoint="Browser"/>
</element>
<element id="Games">
<label type="name" textid="DB_GAMES_TXT"/>
<icon pos="left" source="internal">ENTERTAINMENT_MENU_GAMES_ICN</icon>
<link type="internal"/>
</element>
<element id="Light">
<label type="name"> <text>Light</text> </label>
<icon pos="left" source="file">usb/other/menu/live/light.png</icon>
<icon pos="shortcut" source="file">usb/other/menu/live/light.png</icon>
<link type="java" javasuitename="Light" javasuitevendor="Staffan Persson" javasuitepoint="se.light.Light"/>
</element>
</menu>
</element>


Note how the submenu is nested within the applications element.

By the way, I don't think we can go deeper than one submenu. I tried on K750 and never got it, haven't tried again yet on K800, though I'll get around to it eventually

I mean the nested in the "applications menu" not "applications". (I didn't want to edit the post - that damn bbcode is hard to get working right!!)

so what you have right there is that..

you place "Applications Menu" on the First Desktop Icon (icon1)
but then you dont have selected / unselected images there?!

ignore my icons tags, I'm using the list layout for main menu, and it only uses small icons (not selected or unselevted icons)

What I'm getting at is the structure of the menu nesting. Note how the menu "application menu" is nested within the "Applications" element

the shortcuts are mixed up. Delete all the shortcuts and remake them.

have you tried creating a full screen icons...

like icon1 should be 240x320 and does icon2 so fort and so on.

not sure if the image will cover up the status message.
