all, let me introduce myself, i am a newbie to touch pro, just got a used touch pro yesterday after having used a htc touch vogue for 2 yrs, been reading all the ROM's and felt this ROM had the most positive feedback and minimum user issues. so after looking at winmo 6.1 for 2 mins, unlocked it, flashed darkroot ROM in the next 1/2 hr. now couple of things i had questions about, please pardon my ignorance and unable to find answers through search:
1. can i disable vibrate on touch ? the regular setting is already un-checked
2. ran a dcd carrier cab for sprint(which i used for vogue), is that a good thing or bad
3. the main page says to enable max dark root combo, go to system tools after start, i dont see a folder called system tools, only system and tools folders and there is nothing like enablemax in either of those
4. the top bar is set to arkswitch, how can i disable it on boot? or the main reason is, if i get a txt msg, and i want to see it, i click on top, but then it launches arkswitch, so how do i see the txt msg without having to go to the txt msging tab...
5. how do i disable auto screen lock? i installed the task bar fix, but when the phone is locked i see a missed call icon, but when i unlock it, i have no missed calls, what am i doing wrong..
6. small issue i found, i just added a favorite to my web favorites list, and it is at the bottom, now i try to add it to my shortcut toolbar, i am not able to select it as it is at the bottom, and the springing effect doesnt let me go down to that level, and the bottom bar blocks me from selecting it.. same happens when i click on the home page top, right beside the RootRom and something opens up, what is it for? is it a quick launcher or something?
