B) there are better ways of doing things. Patches is NEVER necessary...just expedient.

c) you can really screw yourself with patches. Know what you are doing, don't guess.

d) don't just dump an oem in there....odds are good you will end up with a mess. Besides, it's for PATCHES, not whole apps. If you're putting an oem in there, you need to stop. It's really for when an OEM isn't suitable.

e) don't expect help if you use patches. You are on your own. You can get really weird problems from using patches incorrectly.

f) don't use it as a means to avoid overwrite prompts. You will get screwed. There already exists a proper mechanism for handling overwrite prompts.

Maybe I have been under a rock, but what is the proper way to handle overwrite prompts? Generally, I have never had to click No. It would be nice for it to know to choose Yes.

Well, in my case I always open up the kitchen and determine which item (application.dll) from OEMs is conflicting. If there are two, then I compare the two to determine which is most current and respond to the prompt accordingly; to allow the most current of the two to remain in the temp directory, presuming that the most current is going to be backwards compatible.

Ahh... I took his statement as there is a way to bypass the overwrite prompts.

Pre load manila 2d launcher and hopefully other tweaks to personalize your rom! (I just started it and thought it would be good to add in here.)

Is there a reason why you would use smtp.sprintpcs.com over smtp.gmail.com as Elosogrande7076 does?

Thanks.
