[ Discontinued ][ v4.2 ][ 6.5.x / 6.5 / 6.1 ] Calkulin's Visual VGA Kitchen & ROMs

[deadave]

Calkulin,

If I want easy access to the task manager, with a drop down list of the programs and an easy to click icon rather than clicking and guessing on the clock. What program do I need to install or remove from the rom?

My only complaint of the rom is that I do not have easy access to programs that are running in the background..

Thanks

What is contact picker? And will it work in 6.1?

thats a bug in the new sys 23069. the only way to access it is to tap at the clock and hold it down for 2-3 seconds. then it pops up. not a fix for it as of yet

Do you know what the reg edits are or have a link to fix the bottom bar covering up mobile shell? Thanks!

sorry to be slightly off-topic, but seemed the most likely place to get an answer, as there's lots of devs and tweakers in this thread and it's a common source for ROM components.

I'm experiencing a rather bizarre bug in current ROMs. I've tried EnergyROM 20091017 and Gadget ROM 20091016. Both have the newest Google Maps that's also in Calk's kitchen - 3.2.1.17.

The bug is this: basically, if I run Google Maps, enable GPS, wait for it to get a fix on my location, then scroll the screen a bit, the phone immediately crashes and soft-resets itself. Observed multiple times in both ROMs.

However, if I use an older-style ROM - MightyROM 6 final, with Google Maps 3.0.1.6 - I don't have this problem.

No-one else running either ROM seems to be seeing this. All I can think of is that it's somehow linked to my actual location - some kind of bizarro bug in Google Maps. I suppose I could test this by flashing a newer ROM again and trying Google Maps from someplace else...I might try that in a while, if I get desperate. It's annoying to be missing out on all the goodness from more 'modern' ROMs, but I can't live without Google Maps / GPS, it's one of the main things I use my phone for.

I live in Vancouver, BC. My postcode's V5R 6H5. Not sure if you can reproduce this bug by just going to where I live manually, though. I tried doing that on one boot - without enabling GPS - and it didn't seem to crash.

If anyone has any ideas at all or can shed any light on this, that'd be awesome! Thanks.

id try a flash back to stock then a reflash of Calks rom

[AdamW]

2k4mach: sorry, you're right, I should have mentioned that - I did that each time. my usual flashing procedure is hard reset whatever ROM i'm running, flash stock, hard reset (from the 'tap to setup your phone' screen), flash to new ROM (from tap-to-setup), hard reset (from tap-to-setup), then let new ROM do its thing and start using it.

flashed ok.
One major problem:
The phone keeps sending random old sms to other people.
is it just me or ????????
