If you charge with the wall charger it will still charge fast.
your answers helped a lot, thanx! I do think I now have a good solution. I didn't think the HTC enable/disable did anything, but I just realized I needed to soft reset after applying it. I'm now using the WM dialer (I think), it's black and has green/red talk/end buttons, both on the lower right, and everything seems to work, this actually happened after I ran disable HTC phone skin and soft reset. When I click on a call log entry, it opens the contact, just like marcjen (and I) want. When I removed it in remove programs and soft reset, it went back to rhodium dialer (and the bug is still there). This kind of surprised me because I thought this was probably just cabbed up regedits and I didn't think it would actually de-install and reverse them. Do you know how that works? What cab/decab tools do you use? Can I disassemble/display a cab do see what it does?

I also noticed that the contacts soft button on the rhodium dialer doesn't work with mobile shell active either! the rhodium/spbms conflict bug is actually worse than originally suspected (unless I somehow broke it more).
If MarcJen or you could confirm that, it might be helpful, but probably a moot point.

I then tried enable HTC phone skin, rebooted and it was still the rhodium dialer (is that what you'd expect?). I now removed enable HTC skin, installed disable, soft reset and that is how I will leave it! Everything works. Maybe the dialer isn't as pretty as rhodium, but it is highly functional. If you're using mobileshell, I highly recommend it. Is that the same dialer on your new rom or did you add a different one? It seems disable HTC phone skin is a misnomer. Whatever, it works!

So in the same vein about name confusion, cabs that change registry entries are confusing. Is your cooked in default for battery charging calkulin's battery saver then? Do you think you need to soft reset for that change to take effect as well? I agree saving battery life is a good thing, but if it doesn't limit the charge when using the ac charger what's the point? Isn't that how most people charge most of the time? Don't most people plug their phone in to AC at night when slow charging would be most appropriate anyhow? I don't get it! Is there a fix to slow charge on AC? Don't you think that would be a good idea to save your battery?

I've gotten what I consider brave and played with the advanced config tool a little. What's your opinion of that tool? It looks really slick and I like the import/export XML option idea. Have you used it much? What has your experience been with it? Will that XML backup work with Sashimi or is that a different beast entirely?

Same questions for the change screen config utility? I've looked at it, but haven't tried it. Do you use it? If so, for what? looks a little like flipit (which I haven't tried either, I'm basically superconservative, I hate hard resets!). I thought flipit was on your rom, but now I can't even find it! Is it here? Are they similar (although change screen looks much more comprehensive, which scares me)?

I know, I ask a lot of questions! I obviously must be annoying! lol ! but your rom is working great for me and hopefully I will be using it quite a while, so I'm trying to become an expert on it and you're obviously my best resource! lol!

You did a great job! Very tasty dish! Glad you don't mind subsitutions on the menu! lol!

Keep up the good work!!!
