Lightbulb A couple of bugs....

OK, I just flashed my phone about a half-dozen times fiddling with things. I'm probably not done quite yet, but I think I'm gonna post what I've discovered so far...

Setting the theme doesn't seem to work. I set it to \Windows\Wm_black2.tsk which does exist, but that theme is definitely not loaded on first boot. I'm guessing the one that loads is the Windows default... it's kind-of a teal type color. If I go into Settings -> Today, the the Wm_black2 theme is selected. The only way to get it to use the Black theme seems to be to select another theme and then switch back.

The other issue I had was regarding the (it seems fairly new) email configuration sections. Fortunately, you included the URL to the MSDN article about email provisioning so I was able to figure out what to do go get my gmail account setup using IMAP. I didn't really take notes while I was making changes, but I think the following is a complete list of what I had to change:
  • NAME was listed as my email address rather than my full name. I'm not sure if you can (easily) pull that from owner info or not
  • REPLYADDR threw me at first as it's the only place to put your email address (I'm used to how in some mail clients you can have a from address and a reply to address)
  • AUTHREQURIED was set to True when I checked the box "Server Requires Authentication" (should the be labeled SMTP Server??). The correct value should be 1.
  • RETRIEVE and KEEPMAX were both -1 meaning it should all be downloaded. Being that storage and bandwidth can often be limited, I'd suggest better default are RETRIEVE=5120 (download 5KB of the message until the rest is requested) and KEEPMAX=0 (don't download the attachment unless requested). It might be nice to have those options listed in the UI, but I'd suggest at least using those defaults.
In addition to an IMAP4 mailbox, I also did the settings for Exchange. This left an invalid XML file with an extra set of <wap-provisioningdoc/> tags.

Also, the Exchange settings suffer from the same "Download it all" issue the IMAP section had.

Other than that, I'm really impressed with this app. It makes having a ROM that's ready for my use immediately after a hard reset that much closer to being a reality. Thanks a million!
