This will not disable the swipe to unlock, but now you can choose to lock when you want to by holding End.

That feature alone will probably have me looking for another rom. I've tried to get used to it but it's pretty rare that I get it on the first try unless I have a stylus/pencil in my hand. I'm usually trying to do it one-handed.
I'm not fond of the sliding "widget selector" on the home page either. Simple static icons work better for me. Maybe I'm too clumsy to get the slide thing.

-All of the cooked ROMs have that bug where going into phone options will not allow you to close the window. The only solution is to change one of your side buttons to the <OK/Close> function: Start > Settings > Personal > Buttons > pick any one of the four and from the menu at the bottom of the screen, find OK/Close near the top of the list.

These are all things I can live with or work around. The button tip worked great. Short press on the camera button now closes programs. Thanks.

Shell seems to work but it's less important now that other things are improved.

My wifi is working fine so I must have the modified ver.
There are some other bugs it seems though. Most annoying for me right now is that I've set a tone to let me know when a call has connected and I chose a tone called "default" which is a short beep. However, what plays instead is one called "connecttone" which is a louder annoying high pitched tone that just about hurts my ear. I've checked the setting but still the wrong tone plays. I realize I might be able to "fix" this by finding the connnecttone file and replacing it with a different sound file. However, that issue leads me to another question...
When I sync my phone to pc (usb/activvesync) I can't seem to see most of the files on the phone. when in the phone I can see connecttone under windows but I can't get to the windows folder on the phone from the pc it seems. The pc seems to start in the my documents folder and the windows folder is one level up from that. Is there something I can do to access the other folders on my phone via my pc?
I'm also having a devil of a time seeing the phone in the sun. Is that an Omnia thing or maybe a touch screen thing? I never remember having such an issue with other phones. I'm outdoors a lot for work and play so that's important to me. Today I got a call and couldnt' see who it was from. I can brighten the screen some but I didn't want to run it bright all the time and the auto-brightness feature doesn't do much as far as I can tell.
Thanks, bedtime for me...
