Custom menus?

[kkorotev]

FIRST; I apologize of this is an old question...but I'm old too and can't find an answer.
I have a Tom Tom Go720. Years ago I used a program called "Tom Tom Menu Builder" to re-organize the menu items and re-save in a folder called SdkRegistry on the device itself.
The file was called TomTom.mnu

I have been using it like this for years. Recently, I decided to tweak my tweaks. The device no longer responds to my new .mnu, in fact, I get a 1 page menu with what appear to be random icons. No Preferences, No New Page, ...no way to go anywhere useful.

I do, of course, get the original un-edited menu when I DELETE the .mnu file altogether.

Is this no longer a solution? What happened? I'm up to date with version 9.+ and wonder of this fix has become obsolete?

HELP!

It's possible. I have not yet tried any of my old *.mnu files on my 720 since updating to 9.401. It wouldn't surprise me if something about the new code (it hasn't been updated since 8.351) has broken the *.mnu feature.

I used to do it manually, then found a copy of the old Builder code. Both methods worked pretty well but the Builder was certainly faster!

Is doing it manually an option? Where do I learn to do that?

It may no longer matter with 9.401 code, but here it is..

If you look at the *.mnu files that the MenuBuilder creates, you'll see that it's all in plain text and can be modified with a text editor. There are a couple of threads that were showing how to get certain functions back on some recent models that had lots of examples. Have a look here:

The old list can be found here, although it does not include all of the most recent options:
