Good luck, and most importantly stay safe. I know you elected to stay for the good of the community, and I admire you for that. Empty towns don't build dikes.

We were told in a city meeting today that we need to think of leaving our homes soon although they are not forcing us to evacuate. They did say the neighborhood that I am in will be pretty much blocked off from the outside world by tommorow. If we are home when they close the levee's we are stuck until its all over. I have opted not to relocate and to stay in my home during this.

Currently the Red River is at its highest point in Fargo's history and is expected to crest this Saturday. The mayor, in the meeting today, stated that this is going to be a historic event. He urged all people to conitnue filling sandbags. We have to raise the levee's around the community another two feet by Saturday. The levee's are as high as 38 feet in some area's already. They have also started building smaller contingnent levee's. These smaller levee's are the ones that will barricade my community in.

I have never seen such a surreal environment.

Wish us luck!

Reigndropz,

you were trying to do advanced things with Phone settings and UC a few pages back, Did you ever figure them out? I'd be very interested to follow your research and learn a thing or 2. If you didn't I have a few suggestions for you to check out.

Actually just as of yesterday, with the help of someone in the forums, I got it working perfectly. I finally found a way to delete the start menu and implement my own start menu setup with SDConfig. FatFrosty showed me how to use Mortscript which takes care of all that. It works awesome. The only slight glitch I have is changing roms.

For instance, when I copied how my start menu is set up and made a back up of it, a different rom might have or not have the programs you like so you can end up with a a few dead shortcuts in the programs folder and/or start menu if you dont have it set up correctly. A small price to pay though since now everytime I flash my I automatically have a large start menu with the programs I need in it.. Its spectacular. One of the best inventions since the wheel. lol

Check it out. Read Fatfrosty's quote.

I think I will have to read and play with that entire thread in order to get up to speed. I took a quick glance, to see if there were itemized instructions, and it looks scary as hell!

On a side note, I built my own rom with a manila I borrowed from mobilematt. I used the 1.6 kitchen (with some personal tweaks) the 21015 build (one of my favorites). along with a few custom apps that I converted from .cab to actual OEM's. I'm pretty pleased with myself today, other than being extremely tired. I Flashed at 1:30 AM and have been solid since... who knew. I wound up tweaking until 4:30 AM.
