Gives 129.something free program memory after boot! Only slow spot seems to be a long pause on the start menu occasionally - and no sleep-of-deaths so far.
More questions:
Missed calls & Voicemail indicator - the stock Verizon cab had a classic Today screen entries with missed calls and number of voicemails waiting. (Looked just like the number of emails waiting display) Not it only shows as a notification - anyway to get that back as a Today item? I did search the boards but didn't find much
Opera - probably my biggest app. It looks like Opera 9.something (which is fine) but the Favorites/Bookmarks soft key (the Star) does nothing. Found some other complaints about this but no solutions unless I missed it. What about upgrading to Opera 10 - any opinions, good idea or big hog? Might or might not fix the bookmarks problem I guess.
Thanks for all the help !

wow those visitor msgs sure get a guys attention...
Couple things... not clear what today screen you're using now... The old plain Jane "Today" screen as you mentioned before? Titanium unchecked also? Guessing your on Today classic.. there's a crap load of apps for the today screen, you need to look more! :>) TONS.. but when you find what your looking for most will be about 3-5 years old... the question, will they work for 6.5 & 6.5x, trial & error...
They've got apps upon apps for the classic "Today" screen! You can make it give any notification you want! While your at it, look into "Second Today" used with some weather progs it's cool... (from a few years ago, but I saw people using recently somewhere)
I don't use that menu, as I list 4 different ones in the Dream Phone Thread 1 that are easier to use & take almost no RAM (easy today, IPT, TouchXperiance...) or you can use mmapplauncher or quickmenu, but then you get no notifications & always have to run apps via 1 extra step & it doesn't return you back to the program list... Probably the best by far is SPB, it uses MUCH less RAM than Sense/Cookie but IS what that combo should be :>)) (some liberties taken there)... lol No mystery hangs, no wandering icons, no SOD's, super fast graphics, etc.. but it costs a little money if you do it up front...
I'm not on the big red V so I can't give specifics.. (on Sprint)
The only reason I'm useing IPT right now is that I have it setup almost exact as I had cookie setup under Sense, but I've got 125 MB of RAM vs 80-90!! Plus it does give some live notifications & icons... while Easy Today, really doesn't...
I no longer run battclock or clean RAM... but it's cool to setup & watch, I use to have 4 items in the top right..
Just redo the startmenu again, should work. Do again, choose panel, then the soft start should run panel & top left (even if no icon) should run compact/quickmenu. (which have nothing to do with your choice of "Today/Home screens"... If still not, I think there was something in settings that did it also.
I've heard of the startmenu pause, shouldn't be one... can't remember if we put something in the wiki on it, ck out the red link in my sig, alphabetically done... did you task29 before you flashed? (T in wiki/faq)
hahahaha me commit to a browser... no way! :>)) subjective
First 9 vs 10, on 10 don't think the zoom bar works, for many it's a must (the mag glass just above the hard keys & below the screen)
basically 2 groups server based (which you can get on Opera also ...Turbo) or not...
Opera Mini as maxx said, also ucweb/ucbrowser... compete in the same class...
I also use uZard Web for flash... (must run with SIM out.. which is a hassle if you like to run Android off your SD card.. as Xdroid wants it in .. some work arounds but won't get into that..)
I think uZard is probably still the best winphone replacement for skyfire...
Lately I'm all about KISS ... keep it simple stupid... do most of my stuff on the built in app (O9), that way I don't have to constantly ck for updates for all my software... NRG has always been pretty good about that.. choose what you like... install 10 & use both.
With your setup you have so much available both kinds of memory it's not funny... heck install all of them!! Then choose / use what you want!
