What else should be expect from a Nightstalker! Stay safe and help keep others safe.

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!

My thoughts are with you. Please keep us posted.

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.

yeah i had to spend a couple days just reading and doing a lot of trial and error. im still not 100 percent with uc but im getting there and its more than worth it to figure out. makes reflashing everyday a lot less hectic.

I thought the same too! This is too much for me! lol, but its not bad at all. It looks a lot worse than it really is. I find adjusting xml's way tougher than what this was compromised of. If you need help PM me, I will do what I can do to show you how I set mine up.

Also, 21015 is MY favorite build too! I need to learn more about using the sys builds although if I try to cram anymore nerdiness (which isnt bad!) in my body I'm going to have to get a pocket protector and put a band aid in the middle of my glasses frame.

Hopefully everything is okay with you today Scott. I built up a 21015 b2b rom last night, its amazing how much faster it is over the stock verizon. Couple of questions, if I want to add cabs into the rom during build can I copy them into the oem folder?

Second question is regarding the vibe on connect feature during calls, it seems to not work anymore even though the box is checked?
