6-7-09 ~~Bear-Bonz Rom~~ final version 3.3 - [Rhodium/Titanium - 6.5 - 21731]

Here is what I use to lock my screen. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...&postcount=709

It locks the screen when the device is off. If you get an imcoming call and are using the default wm6.5 dialer, you get a slide to answer screen to answer the phone. To me this is one of the best features of titanium/ wm6.5.

I'm looking the smoothness of the incoming call with the WM lockscreen and dialer. Great work once again! One thought: (not to be too greedy but ...) it would look nicer if the windows dialer buttons were rounded. All of the icons on your ROM are round now (which looks great), so the very rectangular windows dialer buttons look out of place.

True. But, since the Winmo 6.5 dialer buttons are smaller in the first place, wouldn't it make more sense to have more "button"..or just more surface to press rather than taking more of it away. I know it's just a skin, and there would be the same amount of area, but bigger buttons equal faster and easier dialing.

I swore i made a post about battery life...

I have a brand new diamond running 3.0, I took it off the charger this morning at about 8 am... and by 10 it was down to roughly 70% and now its at about 45% in only 6 hours or so....

any idea if this is normal? will this get better after i drain it all the way down? and then recharge?

and lastly.. i know on my htc touch and my mogul, the internet and constant texting Killed my battery, but i never really used the GPS, is that a battery intensive application?

thanks

Run your battery all the way down and then charge it all the way back up. Also... please read this thread before you post any more questions.

Yes, did you read my post above regarding the lock screen? I recommend NOT using these types of apps and making use of the soft key I have put together for you. That being said... do whatever works best for you.

How do I make the screen where it has the text, email, weather, phone, etc bigger?
Also is there a way to keep the background but change the black and white to have color or do i need to change the whole theme?

I think it looks pretty good. I may take a look at further skinning on the WM dialer, but it is pretty low on my priority list. I actually spent a good bit of time on the dialer buttons for 3.0 so I may not mess with it for a while. Did anyone notice they are made to mimic the HTC dialer we use? I actually used a sample from the HTC dialer buttons to make the WM ones.

I assume you mean the Titanium screen? I intentionally did not use the larger blocks on the Titanium screen because it makes for more scrolling and I dont like that. I believe it has to be cooked in. Don't look for this to be included in any future versions, I have no plans to use it. Sorry.

What black and white are you talking about? You can change the theme if you want to, but it may change some background elements depending on what you install.
