SALT, GARLIC, AND SEASONING Reply
All right, I've made considerable progress since the last post and have just a few, small, and (hopefully) easier to solve problems.
First off, FlipIt is still causing me grief. The version that is included in the kitchen by default is really crazy and only rotates once. You heard me right: Once. After you have used up your one free rotation to whatever angle you want, you are stuck at that angle until you soft reset, upon which you are forever stuck in portrait. What I ended up doing was using the Kitchen Converter (the same process used to convert CABs to EXTs), but for some reason, it just doesn't play nice with that CAB (works fine for everything else I throw at it) and it refuses to put anything in the "app.dat" folder. Even so, It tried launching it from the "Windows" folder after flashing, but still no dice. Anyone know where I can get a proper EXT for FlipIt?
Next up is FNGKB. In the beginning (back in the days of the old kitchen), I tried this keyboard simply because EzInput was way too large (~12MB, yikes!). FNGKB seemed to come out with more free space, and I learned to enjoy using it. Today I cook FNGKB 2.1 into every ROM I bake, but if at all possible, I would like to know if there is a way to change the default skin and the default sound. I poked around in the EXT file a little bit, but nothing too fruitful came up.
Still having issues with the whole backlight timeout thing. Ideally, I would prefer that it 1) Dim after 1 Minute on Battery, 2) Shut off the device after 3 minutes on Battery, 3) Dim after 5-8 minutes when plugged in, and 4) Stay on indefinitely while plugged in. I looked into this before and it sounds like the registry settings are Different between WM6.1 and WM6.5. Any ideas? ☺
While we're at it, I've noticed that the device still refuses to wake up and unlock when I remove the stylus. Any fixes for that one?
Lastly (but not least), I finally was able to put my own custom XML configuration files into the Kitchen for DiamondTweak and Advanced Config. Unfortunately, I do not see the fruits of my labor upon flashing the firmware. My guess is that the settings are reverted by other programs and registry entries that are processed later on. Would changing the folder to "Z Advanced Config..." and "Z Diamond Tweak" perhaps solve this? Does it process these in alphabetical order, or am I just looking at this completely the wrong way?
That's all my questions for today. If some of them are obvious, I'm still a tad bit new at this. I really want to have a ROM that is ready to use right out of the box without spending a half hour moving shortcuts and changing settings.
Thanks again to everyone for all the help you've given me so far. I would certainly not be where I am now without the tweaks and advice given to me by the community.
