thanks kimbler.
@cls, already done that a week or so ago with the stripped titanium rom in the test folder that was nothing but the SYS
but.... it did have showcase for the task manager. I thought about the stripped rom about an hour ago when i was looking at the test folder on the ftp, and thats when i got the idea that maybe it was just showcase causing the issue. Which would also explain why the 6.5 version of my roms work with exchange and the 6.5.x don't. And that why i made the x2 version that will be up for download in 7 minutes, and why i asked kimbler to list his specific processes, so maybe i can get showcase to work with the exclusions list. But yeah, you were on the right track.
