My last rom was the energy, and my battery by this time of day would be sitting around 20-30%. I'm now at 43%, so that's some better.
I was able to adjust the home screen just to my liking so I'm good to go on the homescreen. Everything seems pretty quick, and the ONLY issue i've had with it so far today was when going to sync my email it locked up and when i did a soft reset the home screen wouldn't come up. All I had was my wallpaper, and on the bottom left it said calendar and bottom right contacts...After 2 more soft resets it was fine.
I do kinda wish the icons were there on the call history for incoming/outgoing, etc. but i can live w/o them. Whats the "video call" for? I pressed it and dialed someone but it did nothing on either end.
I also have a "wi-fi" icon which you can see in the pic I've attached. Whats that for? When i go to my settings, wi-fi is not on so I was curious about that...Have the round circle representing the circle is something different to get used to vs. the bars, but it works.
I'm fairly new to all this and this will be my 3rd rom I've loaded on my tp1. First I had mightrom 6.0 which was ok, but wasn't crazy about it due to all the lock ups i had. I then downloaded the tankrom which was fine, but i could not get my pocket cam app to work for nothing so i had to drop that rom...i then headed to the energy rom which was cool, but it locked up so bad half the time and after a couple days of soft resetting to only for the boot screen to lock up and then start doing a hard reset for no reason I gave up.
Just to confirm, when i go to download the rom i'm only running the "romupdateutility.exe" correct? I mean I see there's bootloader.exe's, launchppst.exe's, getdevicedata.exe's, rapitool.exe's, and ruugetinfo.exe's but i've never messed with any of them, only the main romupdateutility.exe..Am i doing it right or do I need to run any of the other .exe's for any reason?
thanks again for all your help, as so far i'm LOVING this rom!!

The battery is great on the rom and even though I do not like 1% batt driver, I must boast that this is the best I've ever experienced with it. I only put it in because it was requested, depending on the feedback I will see whether to keep it in or not.
Did you download the cht editor? I did have that issue once where calendar and contacts came up after a reset. It was after I used the editor to incorporate the co0kies lockscreen - which might be needed. I have discovered that music sometimes gets choppy when using default lockscreen so you can use the lockscreen that comes with the editor as a workaround. I think it has to do with the new version of the co0kies home tab. 1.6.1 was perfect! The good news is: you can uninstall it at any time if it becomes too much of a problem.
Guys, I must admit that I was caught up more with the color of the dialer and did not pay too much to what was missing or included. I only tested it for incoming calls, making sure that the slide to answer works. If you have the keyboard out when a call comes in you will have to close the keyboard to answer the call. Again, you can uninstall it and replace it with one of your liking.
Please install the notification manager cab that was posted. It may provide more information as to why the wifi came up. It could be that wireless networks were detected in the area that you were. Might be something new about this build. Something to look into. Also double check that you did not turn on wifi by mistake.
You are correct to only use the ruu. The rest are there if any errors happen during installation. Glad you came on board. I believe you will enjoy it.
