General ?’s
Q: Is XDA_UC, RunCC, SDConfig, SASHIMI or any other auto customization/backup tools included with this ROM?
A: Currently
XDA_UC is now being cooked in . However Sashimi is verified working as is SPB backup.
Q: How can I stop the weather on the Home tab, it’s slowing everything down?
A: For Cookie the best option is to pick a quick link (QL) box and tap it/ then you will see the add program, add contact, add bookmark/ or the Weather Animation on/off option. Obviously in this case choose the weather animation option and add it to the QL. Then you can use that QL as an on and off switch for the weather animations. Although….If you change your WP and the animation is off it will automatically turn itself back on, easy fix though since you have that QL set up with the on/off switch. Another way to kill weather animations with Cookie is to reset the Wallpaper in this method: From the Home tab, click Menu/Home Wallpaper/Animated Wallpaper/ Here you can select an animated WP or you can select a still wallpaper by clicking “Albums” right softkey and search for your pic.
Q: What’s the report on battery life?
A: Largely depends on user and usage. It is impossible to accurately gauge battery life without letting the device go through a few cycles of charging.

A: The radio controls your signal and roaming capabilities not your ROM. So the ROM can not affect your signal strength.
FORUM/THREAD HINTS: Very Helpful
Try these methods before POSTING cabs or posting requests for cabs that you know have already been posted in the thread.
1) The “Paperclip” or threads Attached Files page allows you to view any files attached to a particular thread. Great for when you know what cab or file you want and know it was somewhere in the thread already. It is found by looking beside the Threads Title in the main forum you are in……. i.e. If you are in XYC CLEAN thread, back out of it to the CDMA TP2 Upgrades forum and find the XYC CLEAN thread again…..beside the thread title is an icon of a…….you guessed it…..a Paperclip. Click this icon to get to the attached files page and have access to all files uploaded to that thread. Very useful, I wish I would have learned this sooner! One thing to keep in mind though is PPCGEEKS is constantly filling up and using its storage resources to the MAX. PLEASE try not to post cabs and files that are already posted in the thread since they are all stored in the Attached Files page anyways. No need for 10 identical arcsoft cabs just because someone doesn’t want to take the time to use the Paperclip.
2) “Search Thread” found in the bar right above the first post of the page you are on, along with “view first unread” , “thread tools” “rating” and Display options which are pretty self explanatory and very useful as well. This “Search Thread” feature gives you the option of searching only in the particular thread you are viewing. Just as when you are in the main forum you can use “Search Forum” to search all threads in the forum.
Well that’s all for today my fellow………………….
