They might make good defaults for a Rom, or at least included in the SSK folder?

Menu Enhancements (Seems faster than Finger Friendly)

You cant without complete overwriting Tf3D. I can post a cab that does that. i will be the 100% stock GSM manila though. I can do a carrier as well, tell me what one, I have sprint and verizon. Both from stock ROM's.

Rebuild the ROM if its not the way you want it. Those cabs during autoinstall ought not to be uninstalled. I need to make that one "hidden" next rev.

You need to configure diamond hologram.

No, stock WinMo drivers. its not a driver issue. Hologram works great for me. You need to configure it to update the FPS.

If that fails, then I would flash back to the stock ROM, get the free 30 day trial of VZ Navigator....If that works, then the GPS chip is good. If it doesn't work, then you can get the phone replaced....and then re-apply all Scott's ROMS and stuff and you will still have a fast phone.

Thanks Bob! That is exactly what I would have recmended.

There is no way the GPS chip is dead. Its actually part of the core processor. Its not a sep chip. Granted yes, parts of a chip can burn out in THEORY but I would like to see it happen and not take the rest of the chip with it.

Bob, your an engineer? Is it possible for a GPS section of a chip to fry but the rest of the chip be good and perform all other phone functions? Hell not even GPS, any part of any chip? What are your thoughts. Im just an electronic tech trained by the military so you know I dont know much ;c) But seriously,. what do you think? Is that possible?

Debating if it's worth it to have a slow *** phone with GPS or a fast phone without GPS


Does anyone know if the stock leaked ROM in the "stock rom" thread is any good? (need a stock rom to return phone)

See above

Yes, the stock ROM in that thread is athe genuine stock ROM. Its also what I based the kitchen on, but not the sys files, as you know...

I think it may have to do with the background4all app, but theres no where to edit that on here. How could i remove that program if I wanted to?

The SSK theme cannot be modified very easily as it is all one theme, like the other themes inthe kitchen. One thing I do differently is not part out TF3D. I leave them as the carrier leftthem and as I found them... except for the SSk theme.

Thats a hand built them by me, from the GSM manila version. All fixes on it applied are for the GSM ROM's. Getting some CDMA style fixes to work will be challenging because of the differnece in clock layouts, etc. Its going to be hit or miss.

But here is the good part.....

You can recreate the theme any way you want to. use the "black manila" theme. Thats the base of the R4R theme.

Hope that helps

21028 is the only one that I can get my hands on...

21032 is supposed even better... 21028 is found in Calu's 21028 Kitchen.

Edit: 21028 > 21018... IMO

I suggest beginning to implement the XBmod TF3d update from the TP2. Looks fantastic.

I've been waiting for you to come back though to ask: what is the free RAM after a fresh flash supposed to be for the Rev.B Kitchen/20931 build? I show 48mb free, and it seems kinda weak...

EDIT: thats 48mb free on reboot, not on a fresh flash, or else I wouldn't be asking. I've been running the same flash for a few weeks.

I show 75.84MB running after a soft reset, with minial stuff in the background (though I am running the HD Manila port). But with a Sprint TP, that leaves me 115.32MB available, so I am still only using about 40% of the memory.

I would say the same. The stock ROM boots with exactly 45.x megs free. My ROM's configured like a stock ROM will boot with a few more megs free. Thats if you have all options cranked up like TF3D, Large start and title bars, etc....

I have all of them ;c)

[scrosler]

Ok, here is what I am thinking...

I am redoing the core of kitchen. Using Sprint Diamond 2.0 ROM as core. Realigning the selections. Adding a bunch of junk you will never use after you flash with it for the first time ;c) Added back in sensor apps, took out the today screen options as they screwed to much crap up anyways and its easier to modify your boot TSK with the confg.txt now because I upgraded the autorun to the latest version and set the proper security in the REg this time ;c)

Requested:
+rework 21015 to fix autorun issues
+add in 21018 becuase its nice
+TF3d HD? not sure about the touch flow deal because i never use it. Can some one put up some links to specific posts that you are talking about please? That would save me at least a day of searching ;c)

What else?

EDIT: Also, this is the biggest debate for me. If you note I keep apps seperated into folders in the kitchen and that is how they appear inthe ROM. For example, all GPS apps go intot he GPS folder in programs.

My debate is to wether or not I shoudl leave it or revert it to the default locations of just Programs?
Any thoughts?

I'm an engineer also... Not a terribly intellegent one though. I've seen mention of GPS issues on this site. I'm a pessimist, so I assume the worse.

I redid the bored fix, it sees some sats. So, I think it's good. I haven't had much time outside today (stuck in a building) I guess the hard reset I did
wiped it out. I'll be checking it out when I get out of work at 11pm tonight..
