I have a clean ROM with FM and Buuf theme working!
I had to re-flash and do the Buuf theme cab first, and then the FM_Skin renaming thing but I finally got it.
The only glitch I've hit since then is that the MP3 Trimmer cab I have doesn't work on this ROM. I think it was developed more for the GSM ROM's and its worked on some past Telus customs. I'll go on a search and see what I can find, but if anyone happens to have a good MP3 Trimmer cab laying around, would you mind posting?
On the keyboard, I'm neutral. I think black looks the coolest generally, but with the Buuf icons, the white is probably the most compatible. So - whatevah - if I don't find any major bugs, I'm probably just going to stick with this ROM for awhile anyway.
Thanks!
