I'm actually working on putting a Dummies Guide to Cooking.
Nothing special really. Just using the kitchen and the bare minimum to cook a simple rom.
Once you do the 1st one, adding other OEM's or making your own OEM's can be tackled a little easier.
I posted this on another forum, and I think I found the info somewhere on PPCGeeks.
Anyways try this.
There is actually a very easy fix for this, although it does not make sense why it fixes it.
Go to the Backlight screen.
Set your battery power time to whatever you want. (i.e. 1min, 2min, etc.)
Then you need to make a change to the registry.
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/ControlPanel/Backlight
There is a folder called LockLevel
Rename the folder to LockLevelx (the "x" can be any number or letter)
Then restart the device.
Basically, renaming the folder does not fix the problem, but forces WM5 to remake the folder.
For some reason, when it remakes the folder, the settings 'stick' and they stop resetting to 10secs.
The same result could probably be achieved by deleting "LockLevel", but I haven't tried deleting it yet.
I can say that the rename method worked for both my phone, and my wife's phone. Now I just have a folder called LockLevelx and a folder called LockLevel.

Thanks for the quick fix, I ended up re-doing the rom, as I found some stuff i wanted and didn't want, now everything's working fine. NO idea what caused it, but it's gone and i'm happy. Debating whether WM6 is that much better now. i'm sure i'll give it a whirl when the kitchen comes out. I'm not sure if what i did was actually "cooking" my own rom. I just opened BuildOS.exe, checked and unchecked what i wanted, and then ran the rest of the steps. Is that it? If so, that was cake.
