Re: *SsS-ROMv0121*

I figured it was time for me to stop being a wallflower and jump in to the discussions...Until Saturday, the only modifications I had made to my Sprint Touch Pro were registry tweaks and a radio flash to Telus (which helped significantly here in Fort Collins, CO). Over a 36-hour period I went through a handful of mostly 6.5 ROMs, using each one until something either failed or didn't work the way I needed it to, then flashing something else. I must have tried half a dozen before I got to deck's SSS and finally felt I was back on solid ground. Deck - you've done some great work here. Consider me along for the ride. Cheers!

I have had some minor issues, mostly ones with workarounds that have been reported already, and I thought I should toss in my 2cents --

- I also could not locate Clear Storage in 121 standard, added from CAB
- the ## codes fail in 121 (due to dialer?), used BAM to get to EPST
- the one hour discrepancy with appointments triggered by multiple weather locations/clocks, correctable by reassigning correct zone in world clocks then leaving it alone
- the top 'row' of programs (preassigned to HOME/PEOPLE/ETC) seem to pass variables to the replacement applications put in those slots, causing some to fail, but most don't care (example: put opera in top right slot then launch, it tries and fails to load a page from localhost, but lower slots work fine, google maps however likes any slot, perhaps ignoring extra p***** variables)
- Got stuck on 'add push page' (with no boomkars set) with no choices and unable to navigate away, had to soft reset, but 'add push page' works fine once I had bookmarks in opera. (I also prefer 9.5 and switched back to that)

I think I had noticed a couple other tidbits, but my notes from the past day are pretty shoddy -- if I come across anything else again I will bring it here to the table. Again, many thanks Deck, for bringing such a stable 6.5 and all its finger-friendly-menu-goodness into my world. Your ROM is very impressive, and very satisfying -- keep up the good work! Also, thanks to everyone for all the excellent feedback, suggestions, and software links -- this community really does rock...
