If this works, post back, and I'll re=post a tweaks file that does work

Bob

Post it anyways... I would like to see a working one....

Glad you like it....

What ROM are you on?

Yep. I even lookedin into OpenVPN clietns, etc..... They are too freakin hard to confiugure... No GUI, all text. I dont know enough about VPN to do it like that....

I'm using both TT 915.9196 and GXT 5.00.20W, full NA/USA maps, heavily customized and no issues. Heck, I even had them both running simultaneously the other day just for laughs and giggles as I drove around, and not one problem, though they did suck 20MB of RAM. Thankfully, SSK 15C2 allows me to get about 62MB free after disabling TF3D... woo hoo!!!

My acid test for any ROM is GPS performance, and so far 21015 has been a winner for me. That being said, I will be doing some further tests on 20954, as a number of posts here have pointed to that build being the best mix of performance and stability.

FWIW, I also run PocketShield with S2A dialer, along with about 50+ other apps and have no issues.

I use SASHIMI to do all my cab installs post flash, and currently trying/struggling to finalize full customize/provision using that and CERegEditor (for reg diffs) and Resco Backup Desktop (for file diffs).

Anyways, my point is this: I have used Scott's Kitchen and ROMs on both XV6800/Titan and this XV6850/TGimP platform, and they are-- hands down the best tools out there for the VZW platform

Scott, send U a PP payoff for my "fix-addiction" yesterday, but didn't receive word you got it; please let me know, and thanks again for all U do for this community of Geeks... whoo haaa!

TTFN

I got it! Thanks man! I appreciate that! Spending money for vacation that styarts on Thursday! Going home to Boston to see family for a long weekend!!!! WOOT! Havent been home in about three years now.

Right now anyways...

Wouldl you guys be interested in signing up to YAF? Lets say this forum was hosted entirely by me and on any subjects you want about the ROM. Maybe a entire board for each build?

Maybe some off topic stuff.... Maybe look like this?

What the heck is YAF-- Young America's Foundation, Young Americans for Freedom or some Yahoo acronym.

Actually, the best option to gain notoriety (if your into that sort of thing) would be to host the forum on your site... PDAKitchen.net or ScroslerPDA.net or some YAF like that

How do I tewll the ROM it has internal storage vs a storage card? I have never had a phone with internal storage and I am afraid of breaking ya'lls phones unless I know that I am doing this correctly. Any thoughts or general direction on this one? I can let you try a ROM but I dont know what the consequneces of that will be? Are you game? If so PM me please.
