Can you elaborate just a little on the graphical overhaul part? Does it improve anything dramatically over the last build?

It's good to see you stay Groove...thanks again for all of your hard work.

Great ROM. Thanks for the hard work. Keep it up!

EDIT: Is there a special version of sip change I should be using with this rom? I tried the sip change 2 cab I have had forever, but it keeps defaulting to the little keyboard each soft reset. I just want finger keyboard to stay as the default SIP all the time.

how is the battery life on this ROM? Comparable to most 6.5's, better, worse?

Thanks for the suggestions on getting BuildOS to run. Now I'm just trying to figure out which things are causing the little normal BuildOS errors.






I've gotten most fixed, but just got one I'm not sure what to look for.

The target file "temp\dump\battery.dll" is a directory, not a file.

and then in the message section at the bottom of BuildOS is:

Error, last status: "Processing: OEM\OEMDrivers"

Suggestions? I found the file battery.dll in the folder OEM\OEMDrivers. Just remove it? Or is it a duplicate? There is no directory called battery.dll that I can find.
This wouldn't be because of a custom taskbar battery icon, would it?

I think I found the culprit, but I don't know what to do about it.
In the OEM folder (that I added to the kitchen) Battery- Rapid Charge is a folder called battery.dll!
Should I just ditch that folder? [I just didn't select it- running now!]

Got a few ROMs built... but not quite there yet.
This last one completed and flashed nicely, but when the customizations started, I got an error that killed them- it couldn't find a cab file... Windows\Calkulins_Diamond_Tweaks.cab or something like that. I'm guessing that's also a duplicate of a file that indagroove probably replaced... any idea which one?

how much of a ring delay is it and what exactly does that mean (if you use the window mobile 6.5 lock screen and the normal htc dialer?)

Groovy man,
I have a small issue, I'm trying to install EZinput 2.0 Update 7 from xda and everytime i do, it locks my phone immediately after the reboot, it doesnt make it to the splash screen. Hard resets are no biggy but I would like to get this SIP with this rom, would make everything, so great.

Keep up the good work

***update*** just so you know, flashed to stock rom(because theres no Bell shipped) and back to 052709 again and re-installed SIP and it still locked up. Damn

did you close SIPGT_app.exe with task manager before installing? if not, it will mess up your keyboards. First install the task manager attached below as well as installing sipchange. The task manager will be listed in the start menu programs at the bottom in a folder (Utilities but don't quote me), sipchange will be listed seperately. Go into fdc task manager, and close the process sipgt_app.exe. then install the keyboard of your choice. it will most likely ask you to restart, or soft reset. then go to programs, select sipchange and select the keyboard you just installed as your default sip. done.

**you may want to uninstall the keyboard you tried to install first to start from scratch**

it does the exact same to me. I think this is why groove rom didn't work for me in the first time. I tried putting the diamond 2 keyboard, and once I soft reseted, it wouldn't make it to the splash screen as well, I just got a blank screen and had to hard reset...i'll try what you did riley and hope that works!

[neelesh]

aw that didn't work. after I installed the diamond 2 keyboard from jmz taylor, it didn't make it to the lock screen. should I try savage racer's?
