To unlock your screen you need a registry editor program for your phone. The one I use is CeRegEditor. Google it. Then navigate to this key and change the value..

The correct registry is HKEY_Current_User>ControlPanel>KeyTouch> on the OnIncoming registry, change value to 0 instead of 1. And it permanently unlocks it

I uninstalled a lot of shitware that acidhax preloads into the ROM which is completely uneccessary for me. To me, it seemed like it sped up a bit after I got rid of a lot of crap. Then just personal settings that make my phone better. I really cant list them off the top of my head. All I can suggest is to really just go throught EVERY menu on the phone and get familiar with it. You'll find it easier to navigate to different areas of the phone a lot quicker to fix simple problems that end up occurring...

Another problem I didnt notice with this ROM is that when you use IE Toggle to PIE... It doesnt load any web pages... Its functionality is basically broken. Another problem right now I"m having is that my phone just will not vibrate on any incoming calls.

Any other questions I can try and answer... I'm really familiar with this ROM so...

OK... so here goes... The key you gave me did not work on my phone, but in the same key, there is OnCallToday and I set it to 0 from 1 and now it WORKS!!! so Thanks for the hints.

Here are my regtweaks for this ROM:
HKCU\ControlPanel\KeyTouch\OnCallToday is now set to 0 (Allows you to use the buttons on the screen when receiving an incoming call while phone is locked)
HKCU\ControlPanel\KeyTouch\OnIncoming is now set to 0 (Not sure but it does not seem to affect my phone)
HKLM\Time\NetworkTime\timezone is now set to 0 (Fixes the timezone reset by the network carrier where upon reboot or returning from Airplane mode, network time was being set by carrier)
HKLM\System\KeyTouch\IsAlignScreen is now set to 1 (Removes the need for an extra click of the Palm Dpad button to unlock your phone. Just slider is needed now)
Goto Start | Advanced Config and choose Phone Skin: Enabled (advised)
Goto Automatic daylight savings switch-over and set to DISABLED
To fix the Task Manager so that you can press and hold OK button, create a .lnk file to point to the Task Manager and copy it into Windows\AppButtons (I attached the zip file with this lnk file)

I also removed a bunch of software as I think it is bloatware(I really need my phone to work and not so much to play). But I did not keep track.

I do not run the TreoProRingerFix as I used to have the problem with 6.1, but not since 6.5 and this ROM...its worked flawlessly and without the update.

I do not run the PIE Toggle fix... not even sure what that fixes, but instead I like running the Opera Mobile Browser.

My data connection is very stable and the phone itself is very stable.

The one thing I would love to fix is during the compose email, when adding users to the "To" fields, depending on the theme (yes.. I had no idea that a theme would affect this) the search ahead feature that I came to love in 6.1 is gone. So I always need to perform the extra step of checking for names or I get prompted that there are unknown names in the email. I am using the Ron Arad orange theme and this feature is broken, while the Graphite Theme works perfectly.... What I notice is that any theme that has the "rounded" icons along the bottom of the screen do not work, but those with the square icons along the bottom of the screen work fine.

So you are all wondering why I can't use the Graphite theme? Cuz its dark and sucks, plus many menus do not show the text so you have to remember where to click on your screen as these buttons are "invisible".... I just wanna fix the other themes to work this way. This makes sending emails and SMS messages so, so, so, much faster....

Themes not working for "contact name search ahead" when composing messages, but damn the icons and colors are beautiful:
Classic Blue
DVF Green
IsaacMizrahi Purple
Rock and Republic Black
Ron Arad Orange
Vera Wang Red


Themes working for "contact name search ahead" when composing messages, but has invisible icons making it impossibble to use:
Graphite
Lumen
Primavera
Rose
Zen

Take a look at the 4 images. In the Graphite.jpg, you will see how I typed 2 letters "bu" and it pulled up all kinds of email addresses for me to select. Notice in ronaradorange.jpg and how doing the same thing shows nothing...

Likewise, notice in graphite2.jpg, there are buttons/menu items missing at the top... but this happens throughout the whole theme. Yet in ronaradorange2.jpg, the buttons are rounded and the menu items are all there.

I even went as far as using windiff and comparing the whole registry between the two themes but there is nothing I can really see that is related to this feature....
