To get things back on track...

Now the comments.
A) I like the fact that you didn't include SDHC support. I need it, but I've heard people with non-SDHC cards have had problems. I don't mind installing this piece myself. I have the .cab on my PC, so it's no issue installing it whenever I need it. This might be a good thing for your downloads section though.

B) Office 2007! Thanks!

C) Still appears to be HTC Home 1.5.x. I'm guessing that upgrade didn't go as well as you'd hoped. That's ok. I more than appreciate the effort.

D) There are contacts in my HTC Home dialer tab. Vision, Bryan, and Customer Support. Did I screw up and get those in there somehow, or are they in the ROM?

E) While I don't think the HTC Home Customizer should be in the ROM, could you add it to your download links, please? Thanks.

F) With v2, there was a "Documents" shortcut in my Start menu that opened up File Explorer to "My Documents" folder. That's gone and it doesn't appear that I can add it using the "Menus" setting. Is there a magic trick I can do to get that back?

G) I'm still having my issue with Pocket Controller, but I've narrowed it down a bit. It and ActiveSync appear to be fighting. It's trying to connect to the device before ActiveSync has completed its connection. I need to wait for ActiveSync to establish a connection before Pocket Controller takes over. I doubt you did anything with that, so I'm going to check to see if Pocket Controller has a support site. If not, I'll post something here. For now, I can set up Pocket Controller not to automatically start up, and I'm fine.

Ok, so that's 7 things. It probably sounds like I hate this ROM, but I don't. Other than my Pocket Controller issue, which I don't think is caused by your stuff, everything is teeny tiny.


A few weeks ago, I realized that my phone's almost 2 years old and that I can get an upgrade soon and I was a little nervous and excited about that. Now I have no reason to upgrade, and its thanks to the efforts of people like you and helmi.

I had to hard reset my device this morning. Several soft resets froze up on my Today screen. That's the first time I've ever had to do that. If it happens again, I will try to start looking for a pattern.

As for issue "F", it appears to me that the default File Explorer has changed in v4 from what it was in v2. The one in v2 was similar to Resco, but not quite (Resco was also installed, I think). The one in v4 appears to be the same thing I had in WM5. Or am I missing something?
