How to clear that 1 'unread' text message that won't go away:
Step 1) Go to the text message tab and select the 'All messages' softkey. Click the 'Inbox' drop-down box at the top left of your screen and look at all the folders to see if any of them have unread messages in parentheses

Step 2) If step 1 doesn't work, make the following registry edit:
HKCU\System\State\Messages\sms (or mms)\Unread, then set the 'Count' dword to 0 and soft reset

Step 3) If both of the above still don't work, dump the following file on your phone and run the .exe file inside the zipped folder:

How to backup/restore your internet favorites for Opera 9.7:
Opera 9.7 isn't like 9.5 where you could just backup the opera6.adr file to restore your favorites. Instead, for 9.7, just backup the 'Favorites' folder in the \Windows directory

Useful Tweaking Cabs (see attached files below - some may not take effect until after a soft reset)


1% battery: This has little to no effect on battery life; it simply tells the no2chem battery driver not to round to the 10s when displaying battery percentage. Custom taskbar NOT required

KeepWifiOnWhenIdle: Keeps wifi on when the phone is idle (what the phone calls an 'unattended state')

KeepMusicOnWhenIdle: Prevents music from turning itself off when the screen shuts off. NOTE: This cab doesn't always seem to work 100% of the time, depending on what program you are using to listen to music. You are warned

LeftSoftkeyAllContacts: Since Mike's ROM by default sets the left softkey to 'Phone' (which I thought was redundant since the hardkey right below it does the exact same thing), this cab will set the left softkey to 'All Contacts'

ReduceRecordBitrate: Mike's ROM already has in-call recording built right in (when in a call, simply hit Menu -> Record). However, by default, the recording bitrate is absolutely humungous (records at ~1-2 megabytes per minute and cannot be saved to the storage card). The cab attached below will reduce the record bitrate to an incredibly small amount so that you can record all you want without taking up your entire phone's memory

7BarSignalStrength - NOW FIXED!! (Sprint Only): This cab sets the signal bars in the taskbar to 7 instead of 5. For whatever reason, this cab only works with Sprint. You can use it with Verizon if you want the smaller-looking bars, but you will still only get 5 bars instead of the desired 7

LeftSoftkeyLock: Sets the left softkey to 'Lock' allowing you to quickly and easily lock the screen

DisableAutoDeployKB: Sets it so that the on-screen keyboard DOES NOT open itself automatically when texting, et. al.

IncreaseScreenSensitivity: Increases the sensitivity of the touchscreen (I personally can't tell a difference, but this has been requested by others - please leave feedback and let me know if it works or if I should pull the cab)

SUPERCAB: Combines all of the cabs from the list above into one single cab for ease of installation (The only cab not included is LeftSoftKeyLock since LeftSoftkeyAllContacts is included instead)
