Have you seen this before?

Maybe we're running 6.6! They say the 2016 bug is fixed in 6.6!

That MMS in the text thread itself is new for Arcsoft MMS ver 5.2.x. I really like it myself.

orangekid, will these new fun things coming along apply only to sense or to Titanim also?

it basically means sense 2.5 will run smoother and faster and better, has nothing to do with titanium,

but there are literally hundreds of titanium tweaks you can do right now that should keep you busy modding your phone to get that perfect look without anything new having to come out.

also, I am going to cook up a really nice 21890 titanium ROM very soon, I can share it if you are looking for a solid titanium only ROM (lots of space, better keyboards, a few tweaks)

I've cooked a couple roms but I need more info on adding the WM7 Titanium interface with the wider scroll bars and the 6.5.x sys. My thumbs have a difficult time with the smaller menus. I like the new sense updates but it seems more stable on the 6.5 sys so when I have to go into programs or access an alert I just about have to get the stylus out.

I have just the solution for you

flash a 6.5 ROM, then install one of these bad boys

it makes your menus huge (every menu) and look better than the stock 6.5.x menus while maintaining the stability of 6.5 Try it out.

I just had an amazing discovery, at least for me!

I've been running this 28014 rom for about 3 weeks and one of my biggest complaints was not having the dropdown list in the upper right hand corner to bring up task display and close unwanted running tasks, especially things like calculator (calc1) on this rom which has no close function.

I just discovered that if I touch pretty much anywhere on the taskbar and it brings down the taskbar dropdown, if I then press the 10's digit if the clock on the taskbar, it brings up a task display!!! Sometimes I can just actually press the 10's digit on my clock in the upper right hand corner, not exactly sure why it doesnt' work everytime, maybe it's a very precise spot you need it touch. It brings up a task list which allows me to x out any running applications!!!! It also has a nice memory display if you click on the phone icon presented too. Does anyone know if this is just a task manager built in? Is this part of the task bar I just didn't know about and is it documented anywhere? When I asked DRB about closing tasks, he didn't suggest this, he said it was a lacking in 28014. Have I discovered something hidden or was I just in the dark? let me know?

Glad to say, I heard from DRB and he will be back!


I'm still running your 28014, but occasionally tempted to try that 21887 build you made. I finally figured out that if I click the tens digit of the clock in the taskbar, it usually brings up a nice task manager which allows me to close open apps and that really helps memory usage. Still a pain to bring up the camera, no camera app shortcut on this rom (ok, found it and created a shortcut, nevermind). I don't really like the contact app, awkward navigation and doesn't have some fields like nicknames and others. Bing voice recognition doesn't work for some reason (but after installing a newer version, seems to work fine) and something I've had on other roms and always hated is that when locked, the volume keys are still active, so volume changes when it shouldn't (IMO). Otherwise, things are pretty smooth and except for an occassional lockup which requires soft reset, I'm generally happy, but I think now that I heard from you, I will try the 21887 in the next few days when I have a few hours to play with configuring it.

Hope you get your computers up and running soon! Looking forward to your posting again soon! I'm not the only one who wondered where you went!

OK everyone. I am still alive. I just moved across the country and am trying to get unpacked and settled into a new, look for a job, and all that stuff. The computer I had the kitchen on had a drive crap out on me just before the move so I just packed it for the time. Its now out, drive replaced, and freshly formatted - now to start reloading the software.

In the meantime, I have ALOT of catching up to do as far as releases go. Can anyone give me a quick pointer or 2 on what the latest software to load is? My little bro got a Droid and was showing off his voice activated searching, which got me searching and I realized thats what TellMe does - so it will be in the next rom. What else is there?

Hope you're getting settled in! Good to have you back! I'm still on 28014, but soft resets are now more often, so I'll be trying 21887 soon, so take your time! Hopefully I'll love 21887 and it will be stable for at least a month!

I tried tellme on a rom a few months ago, omj I think, and was totally unimpressed. While I seem to remember it did do voice to text for messaging, there was key presses required, very much like bing, so you still had to look at the phone and press buttons. I actually do have the same complaint about when I was playing with the droid. You couldn't just leave it in your pocket and talk to it and have it talk to you, you had to look at the screen and press buttons! Totally a fatal flaw for the droid IMHO.

I like voicecommand because I leave my phone in my pocket or on the car seat and only have to activate voicecommand with a press of the button on the headset. It reads me my text messages and my email headers and I never have to look at the phone. I just wish it understood more commands. I'd like to dismiss a notification or turn off a reminder! It would be nice if you could just say "send text to jesse" and then dictate the text! voicecommand will let you run tellme, but then it didn't just let you dictate speech, you next had to press a soft button on the phone . If there's a way to avoid that, I'm all in! Really seems it's more of a voicecommand function or extension, hopefully it will be.

Can't really tell you what sys you want, I leave that to you! The newest thing I installed is the new google maps 4, but that's just an app! I trust you to cook up the good stuff!
