Today Screen

[srparret]

Hey i've just gotten my tilt...(had a mogul before) and i was wondering if theres a today screen addon out there w/ lots of quick load app, and contact space, but doesn't lag my tilt down...also the dialer is ugly as sin so i was wondering if there was a better one than that??

Not sure if this is what you want but I have been using it for about 2 weeks now. Very fast and responsive. Adds quick contacts tab and program launch tab with plenty of slots. Some of the skins you can get for it (i use vista) add slots giving you up to 45 quick launch links for progs. IMO this is the most functional one I have found. Looks slick too. Only downside is the lack of a "Tasks" notification on the today screen. I am still waiting for that update.

Best way to speed things up is to ditch the unused bloatware from the provider and install a clean rom. You can do a soft reset befor the customization screen after a hard reset and prevent that extra bloatware install.

I am using the att tilt with the updated 6.1 rom. I had some lag issues but did a non-bloat install and I am now very happy. I am using a fully functional manilla2d install and average about 40-43mb free (50%). Makes me think its the bloatware. My wifes phone sped up after I took it out of hers as well. Worth a try. I have not used many other roms as I have been happy with my current setup.

Simplest thing If you want to install without customized bloatware:

1. Hard reset your phone or reinstall the HTC stock rom. After you install but before you use your phone you have to do the touch screen alignment. This is what your looking for.

2. Align the touchscreen and skip through the "cut & paste" tutorial.

3. After the tutorial you must "tap screen to begin using your device".

4. Emediatly after your home screen loads up and before the customized install starts (less than 3 sec) do a soft reset.

5. If you did it correctly it will boot normaly without bloatware or carrier applications. If your timing was bad it will go through the alignment process again.

If your just looking for new roms and info then...
