So far the clock is holding up!

Edit: Did a soft reset and it defaulted back an hour . . .

[bruceo]

did you apply the MS DST fix?

"For the time changing problem, it seems it is related to the weather database file. In city database file, 2330fc3c_manila, there is a new column "Timezone" which defines the time zone of each city. For example, for a city in EST zone, the value is 300 (in munites, so that is 5 hours offset from GMT 0). However, all the cities in GMT -5 zone has the same value, no matter it is in North America or South America. This means the new manila didn't take into account the DST time change. That is why it always shifts your clock by one hour. And then if you go to the clock settings, it shows GMT -5 Bogota, Lima zone, because it doesn't differentiate different GMT -5 zones. One way to work around this is to change the offset in the database file, for me, I live in EST zone, so I change the timezone value from 300 to 240. This gives a wrong time zone when you go to the clock information setting, but it doesn't shift ur time when you click the clock on the manila home page."

is there a reason way when i install the sprint neon portrait manila cab that when i slide ope the keyboard, the landscape view is all distorted? do I have to install both the landscape cab and the portrait cab together? I like the look of the neon portrait cab, just when i slide open the keyboard to landscape view is the problem. Thanks guys! great work!

You needed to install a landscape manila instead.

A couple of issues I'm having:

Stocks tab doesn't save any stocks. It doesn't even have an option to do so. I've actually never used a manila with a stock tab but all mine does it return stock information when you search but when you close, it returns to add stock quote page. I assume it's supposed to do more than that. The text in portrait is cut off by the slider. In landscape it's half off the screen. I know that's because it was meant for wvga and someone smarter than me is probably working on that.

Alphabet on the add contacts page is squished. Same reason as above.

When using the 3d taskbar, clicking on anything only brings up the notification screen. No battery meter, comm, etc. Don't know if that was lost with TP2 or if it's the taskbar causing that. Haven't tried the regular taskbar yet.

PSshutXP doesn't hard reset. The hard reset button only performs a soft reset. I know this was an issue a few months ago with this program that I thought was fixed but I don't have the working oem.

Teeter has very little haptic feedback. I noticed this in another kitchen but no one agreed with me. Maybe it's just me but the attached teeter has significantly more feedback.

The avatar on the black slide to answer is a white square.

Actually you are right, it is the weather database that is causing the issue, so here's the fix

EDIT: New fix on next page

The manila issues are being worked on, xbmod and his crew will get those fixed but it will take some time as there are a couple of issues they are working on. As for Teeter, you are right, the config file for that version had higher settings for vibration so I will include that in the release, thanks. As for psShutXP, it does not do a hard reset and I have not seen a working version that does that on the Diamond/TP but I use clear storage for that anyways, so it's really a problem for me. And what avatar is missing on the S2A, the conference one? because I haven't seen any white boxes but I may of just missed it

Dahlem was right on that one, you need a landscape manila for that to work properly as the Neon one is a portrait only one

the avatar that seems to be missing for me is the one that goes with an unknown phone number. I didn't sync any contacts to my phone. This showed on a fresh install when I dialed a call or recieved.
