kyle, thanks for checking in! great post... you are farther ahead than you know...
"This post was friendly enough to get my phone from pretty useless to very usable"
"Energy ROM, panel start menu and sense disabled"
"With the pagepool set to 0 I boot with 120mb of free ram and I've never loved windows mobile more!"

This pretty much sums it up! The simple fact you take the chance, don't do the typical... try different stuff... wow! For most getting it unlocked, flashing a ROM & adding a couple cabs is as far as they'll ever go... you've just earned a bunch of rep..

I don't know the answer to your specific question as I've not messed around with nuenobar at all but will probably look at it now :>)) And I'm not much into visuals, except that I want them to work & be fast, so no... no icon stuff for me. I'm not even suggesting IPT (an abbreviation for the iphone haters :>))... Simply to think out of the box, try some stuff... so many times I see people b*tching about being out of RAM & low memory, but refuse to follow some basics to get more??! I use to HATE SPB with a passion (also IPT), I never even tried it... lol, yea it's a pay app.. but it does give you 30days I think... I burn new ROMs more often than that!

Try it, if you don't like it take out the single line in \windows\startup! Uninstall if you want to dump it all... just that easy... I'm not selling it, just trying different stuff...

Good luck, you may want to post over there for icon packs, I know I've seen them. You may also want to check out IPT weather, comes with about 8 icons all telling the weather, kind of fills up 1/2 of the icons of an entire screen, and many are location sensitive, but worth a look. Also, look into mmapplauncher, FDCsoft menu & burn an 29007 Energy ROM & try the start menu layout switch... (you already did Energy...) fun

TouchXperiance is VERY interesting, but not quite what did it for me.. some real out of the box nice stuff though.

With all the RAM saved, you can run almost ALL of these together. SPB has some real nice supplements you can DL, that give you single push access to Sense (with or without Cookie... you've got to try Cookie!), Titanium... etc..

I haven't used 2nd today much since my Mogul days & manila weather, however there's a real nice, very in depth 2nd today weather @ xda, think it's called weatherpanel. It uses 2nd today as well, I was running it Oct, Nov...

My top left (hidden button) pulls up quickmenu, top right wktask & set to close/close all with a hold, bottom right arrow hold xhook (REAL nice), bottom left, panel from Energy ROM, hard winkey winstart, hold offhook hardbutton (left)=voice command, hold on(hangup/right) hardkey, 4 choice Energy Airplane/lock/vibrate/term data screen...

Use rhodiumkeyboardcfg cab to easily map hard keys, B&B tweaks in EROMS to map soft... even some stuff in advanced config menu...

LOL.. may have to simplify though, getting to be a little much with the 2 SPB Carousals & ipt/spb toggle bottom right softkey... & droid/sense/titanium icons!

ahhh the choices! LOL... people thought I was full of **** when first posting of getting over 120 MB of RAM...(giving links to xda arto startmenu remover & various today screen replacements..) ha! Now you know... :>)) I have NEVER seen an out of / low memory notification in Opera lately, use to get them alllllll the time...!

Another little tid bit... in the URL type: opera:config, goto performance & double your server & max connections... a few other tiny tweeks in there have got people to report doubling their speed web browsing.. (no not double the DL speeds, but increases in those as well as a byproduct of a faster more functional, overclocked TP2 with tons of RAM to work with)

keep having fun, enjoy & let us know some cool stuff you bump into, feel free to ask a Q also, if I don't know, odds are someone else may!

*edit* I'm a 6.5.3 guy, re. noNueBar: "nueNoBar is WM 5, 6 and 6.1 compatible, and should run on WM 6.1 builds 20000+" anyone have it working with 29007?
