are you actually running a Vzw TP (as in half the ram) with this rom xtreme? if so, hows it handle it? and did you have to lower the pagepool?

Yeah I definately had to lower the pagepool. The first Ski-Rom releases had it set to 0, which allowed the OS to contribute as much ram as needed for the page pool, and would leave me scraping bottom on just the homescreen of manila lol. Since dropping the pagepool to 6MB I've been able to run everything pretty well with the exception of the various browsers. For them, I have a utility assigned to a hard button that allows for quick enabling/disabling of manila for that extra boost of ram.

Ski-Rom is really one of the leanest roms I've ran, comparable to the old SSK Roms back a few months ago. His roms were always ideal because he himself was a Verizon customer and knew to design with our gimped memory in mind, but they now lack all the latest additions that Ski-Rom includes. Many of the others such as Energy Rom are just too hard on my precious memory.

I had the XV6800 (Titan) with the gimped ram as well back in the day and had hoped the days of CONSTANTLY being concerned about my ram were over when I upgraded to the Touch Pro. I figured going from 64MB to 192MB ought to be a nice enough improvement and that anything more would really just be overkill. HA! Nega-TIVE! Its the same frickin story all over again but like I said, I'm making it work pretty decent with Ski-Rom. As long as I run no more than 2 apps at a time and disable manila for the browsers, I'm doin fine.

Upgrading to the TP2 was at first very tempting but I think I'll wait until the first few WP7 phones drop this fall before I burn an upgrade for memory thats only comparable to the Sprint version of the TP1.

Hey, the english version of voice command is already cooked in the ROM. Any idea how I could replace it with the French version?? I have the cab file for the French version but when I tried to install it over, neither the French or English version was working. Any ideas??

Thanks

Try another version.
Not every version will work.

Lovin these roms.
Is there any reason not to cook in lockstreamdrm or another program that will allow overdrive media console (and window player) to play drm files? Seems like the cab version found in this thread... http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=81705 isn't working

Using a past version of this rom, I was able to tap the top part tof the screen and the bottom scroll bar would disappear. Now when I tap the top part of the screen, it changes the clock to different styles. How do I hide that bottom scrolling taskbar? Is that not possible anymore?

thanks for that! I think im buying lunacie's Sprint Touch Pro thats on Vzw's network so maybe i wont have to worry about it, but if i end up with a vzw touch pro ill probably shoot you a few pm's to get mine running the same way, since its working for you.

I'm no Chef but from what I've read it appears DRM programs break a lot of the ROM and cause lotsa headaches. Chefs tend to stay away.

It sounds like you're looking for the Max Manila settings to hide the bottom row of icons. From the Home Screen scroll down and you'll see all the options. ahuskins has a link on one of the first posts to all the Max settings.

See in the picture how the scrolling taskbar on the bottom is hidden? This is what I want to know how to do....

Yeah, like Winmo said, its a Max Manila setting. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=100347 Here is a link to the Max Manila thread. There will be a lot of useful information for you there.
