About the "not being able to rearrange tabs" bug:
This will happen if CHT 1.7 is cooked in on your rom. It has to be cooked in a little differently to prevent this. I've added this to the first post and also a copy below. If you have this problem on your cooked rom, spread the word to your cooks.
Note fo cooks:
Don't cook in the file "ManilaFull.xml". Originally it's a manila cache file that's generated on start up (based on the xml files in \windows\manilaxml\).
This file should never be cooked in because it will prevent changes to manila pages and menus.
The "ManilaFull.xml" in the cab is an empty file. It's only there to make manila regenerate it after install, because I've made changes to the home menu.
So make sure not to cook in that file in any form.
