Another note - when you sync your contacts with facebook, in the contacts application when I try to open their online albums it doesn't work. I've seen this working before on other ROMS as far as I can remember. Just wanted to let you know.

Thanks!

the fb albums wont work on my rom cuz im using album 3.1914 so i can get all the features besides that to work perfect.
the rom u saw it work in use album 3.2 with a newer media toolkit that wont fit album 3.1914.
if u notice... when u use one of those roms that use that (probably an omj rom) rotation in album is not really fitting the screen and while viewing a picture u get the funky black rectangle on the side... and u have to scroll between the images only in landscape and not portrait also.
thats a personal choice for me... i dont mind not seeing the facebook albums through manila...
if there will be a demand for switching to the version that work with albums ill make a rom with it...
im trying to give u guys exactly what i use for myself, but i can take requests also. thats y i even made a full version and a generic carrier, otherwise... i would just keep the lite version up.

btw... before u flash... i made a newer test version... skinned more things so that it matches and attempted to fix more of the 2011 packages to fit.

Actually now that I think about it, the one where the FB albums worked was on my TP2 when I had it. So no worries, stick with what you think works best. I'm downloading your new one now, will flash tomorrow for sure.

nothing really... i think im aware of all the sizing issues. but that would be what u would see... i think everything else works great.
basically just use it as u usually do... and if u notice anything that doesn't work or looks weird... let me know.
thanks.

A few minor things here and there are stretched/distorted. Eg when you click on the top right to bring up the task manager/switcher and then go to the Options/Settings - some of the radio buttons are stretched. Just some minor things like that, other than that everything seems to be just fine.

Also - the Manila locker seems to be less buggy for some reason.

Every once in a while, something in Manila will get blanked out and replaced with just plain white pixels, like the Alarm section on the home page or contact photos in the Favorites page etc but they evnetually come back. Not a big deal at all but thought you should know.

I still haven't tested ANY functions that relate to the phone radio or phone functions etc though eg phone calls, text messages etc. I'm only using it on wifi since this phone is not activated.

just now saw that u said something about the test version...
about the buttons in windows settings... that just how the theme is... not sure y it is... but the only way to make it not look like that is to lose the black circle and the black "v" check mark. since its technically a theme for 6.5.x.... but still works... thats a known issue that cant be fixed unless i go back to 6.5 or 6.1 theme for windows.
the white boxes in manila are also some kind of result of cfc i think... but it rarely happens... unless u push on the same thing like a million times and very fast.

and thats it... i think the newer ver. works a lot better... i still need to port all the packages to fix vga in landscape though... but that can wait a few days until 2.5.2011 comes out... hopefully by the end of this weekend... although... i think manila runs really fast right now after switching to the newer versions of packages.

notice that there is less free space available since basically all the packages now contain landscape graphics as well as portrait. which personally i think kinda sucks... but its running faster... so i dont mind.

ok... i got everything working as i want it on the 2011 packages.
almost... i fixed the drop down menus in all the settings menus (power, email settings, etc...) to fit vga... it pisses me off to find out how easy it was to do, just a simple regedit... all the other packages should also be fine... atleast as good working as 1922.
now... the things that changed the most is basically the menus size... a little bit bigger (they went from font size of 26 to size 28 in all the menus).
ill upload a light version for all u guys who can't wait for 2011 manila to be released. i would suggest to all of u who have the time to reflash to do so... this version actually have landscape support for almost all the screens besides manila and personally i think it's really faster then older versions.
i've reverted back to older keyboard version to get xt9 working perfect... and i changed the menus highlights just a little bit.
when 2011 comes out ill add "g config" so we can set everything to flip when we want it to.
link is updated.

Downloading Feb 4 Lite version right now.

Which keyboard did you go back to? I hope it's still EzInput 2.1 right? What's different about this keyboard? Just curious.

its ezinput 2.1... almost the exact same thing. besides the arrows in the # mode.
again... i think i got it all working right... try to go to landscape in some screens by long pressing the send button to check it out and to see if i might have missed anything.

btw just to let u sprint guys know... i've switched to a generic rom myself just because i can get the better version of sprint nav to work on my rom.
im using this version... i think its better than any other version i've seen of sprint nav since u can just use the voice option to tell where u want to go just by pushing a button and not by calling some #. and it's faster of course.
for all u sprint guys who wants to give it a shot... it work on the new generic rom for sure.
thanks to Maxx134 for that version.

One MAJOR problem with both Feb-1 and Feb-4 ROMs - most of the times when you take the phone off charge when it's been on AC charger all night, it's crashed or hung. Ie the screen won't turn on, I'm not sure if the phone is on/off at this point and there's nothing you can do other than pull the battery.

Next time it happens i'll test if it's on by calling it from a different phone.
