Re: [ROM] Project: Teya 1.8.1 [25-Apr-2011]

I'm on day 2 of using my "new" Imagio and I think I can work with this ROM. I tried the Energy ROM for a couple of hours and it's just not for me. I love the Teya design but there are so many options that I can't quite wrap my head around it... and I need to get back to work. This ROM could really use a "... For Dummies" book! I've managed to wreck things repeatedly so I better start asking some questions.

I think I've got the lock-screen stuff figured out so the next thing is all the pages and swiping and CHTEditor stuff. That's where I'm getting in to trouble. I'm obviously not getting something. I've been using a Vogue with Manilla ROM for years so all this swiping stuff is very new to me. As I understand (or misunderstand) it.... when I turn on my Imagio I see the "lock-screen". When I unlock it I see the "Home Layout". Am I good so far?

The Home Layout is where I'm getting screwed up (well the (CHT lock-screen too but I'll save that for another post unless someone can direct me to a manual). Is the "Home Layout" actually a bunch of virtual home screens? When I go in to CHTEditor/Pages_and_Levels I see a bunch of settings that I'm not sure about. I think I get that I can add more pages to the left and right. Is the "circular" bit about added pages above and below? Is that what the Level-0, Level-1, Extra space, etc. stuff is about?

And I get unexpected results with the Edit home layout. For instance if I add quicklinks to a page, the quicklink boxes get added to every page. Can I add them to only one page?
And what are "free-links"?
I like the widgets but the selection seems to be kind of limited. Can I add other items to the pages or only widgets?
I'm pretty sure there was speed-dial page where I had icons for my frequently called people. But apparently I killed that off and now I have no idea how to get it back. ???

Also, I must have done something last night that now causes my device to startup sometimes with an odd screen that lists from top to bottom; pictures, music, phone, voicemail, etc. and their is a gray slide box with time on it that slides up and down to select from the list of items. There are also two context related soft keys on the bottom. It's kind of cool, but where the hell did it come from? Eventually if I push some buttons, it just goes away. I haven't been patient enough to wait and see if it just goes away on it's own, although I did give it 10 minutes. Is this something that appears when "Sense" reloads? How the hell did I make it happen?

Sorry for the long post but I'm anxious to get up to speed. Believe me, it could be a lot longer! I'm feeling like such a noob (even after reading this entire thread) and I don't like it!

Thanks
