Here is what I have seen so far.

Calendar app does nothing other than show you what day a specific date falls on. It does not launch the calendar for new appointments. Is this all it is supposed to do?

I love that we don't have to reboot everytime we change the order of tabs or add/remove tabs.

I don't like that we cannot remove the programs tab in TF but whatever!

I like the weather setup. its great to see today's weather and also have the 5 day at a glance below today's.

Missing the no curtains that was set up in the last R4R manila but another whatever.

Hated that the START for TF resided as a killable program in the task manager but that has been corrected by adding it to the managed list.

When TF launches, the black KB pops up and has to be hidden.

The TP2 notifiaction setup is nice and i am glad to see it but I am still not able to have it launch the program I am being notified about. Get an email, see it in the notification screen and tap it, the KB pops up and the wait circle starts spinning but it takes me back to whatever I was doing (playing a game or viewing PPC geeks in opera).

Exchange OTA sync is working well.

Having the storage card called internal storage is wierd but whatever.

BTW this is all with XBOXMODs HD manila.

With TF3D running, I am getting 40.57 free on reset and without it running I am seeing 51.71 free.

I love the black KB on this setup and love the direction this ROM is taking us.

Great work Scott.

Thanks Ron!

This is a preview. I didint want to release it yet so ic alled it beta. a couple loose ends to tie up in the ktichen... No biggies... Need to figure out where I hosed the storage drivers.

Overall I think its solid but not as fast as I thought 21028 would be. I may do the same ROM on another set of SYS files for comparitive measure.

Hope to have another beta late tonight. I want to try a couple other things..... Add back in the dialers, add in SMS for all carriers via cabing it in... etc....

Scott,

Thanks for the Beta. I appreciate your work. I was hoping to try something out soon.
Everything seems to be working the way it should. I have not had any problems and GPS works quickly.
The only thing that I noticed with manila is the weather DB was not the complete one I am used to but downloaded this cab to fix.

Also the reminder notification still has the repeat option checked and greyed out. I attached the reg file to fix.

Cool, I will take the cab and add it in as an RGU in __scrosler folder to make it easy for everyone to find.

I have this but wasnt ready to put it in yet. I am still contemplating on wether or not I want to break manila down to the core like the other chefs do. The problem with doing that is it takes the "simple" out of Scotts Simple Kitchen. You see the delimina. I want to keep the kitchen as simple as possible but yet produce fast work.

Anyone have any thoughts on breaking manila down to the core like the other chefs?

Great, sounds good!
I don't think that you need to break down manilla. That cab fixes the weather for those who need more cities. IMO manila in other kitchens once broken down seem to make errors quite often of duplicate files, etc. I am happy to be able to simply choose which manila and cook away. Once the TP2 manila is released things will go that direction anyway.

Thats kinda how I felt about the simplicity of selecting one. I also think most chefs know how to change manila anyways....

For those that dont it can be as simple as just copying the *_Manila files into a manila folder. For example. When I got the HD Manila ithad no clock. I found a clocked i liked then just copied the clock files into the manila folder. Bam, now I have a full manila. Had to add the engine too....

To change clocks it would be the same steps, juct overwrite what is there. Make sure you know the clock works with the theme FIRST before hosing your manila files and always make back ups FIRST!

If any of this post makes no sense then ignore it. If you do understand what I am reffering to and want more info feel free to ask.

my **** is hosed! i can't get to the system settings... it ALWAYS locks up...

I'm using Former's new XIP...
Bored's SYS

Calcu's 21028 is causing the Storage Card to Internal Memory issue...

I did have some of my personal OEM's in mine but even after I ripped it out... it locks up and ****!

I dunno what it is...

I've gone back to 21028/18/32 hybrid again.

I think that leaving it as is works well. For most users, they are either going to use it, or not. Advanced users who want to tweak it should have the knowledge to go to the registry for changes, or are familiar with PPC Geeks, or XDA and can import whatever changes they personally want. For the masses though, I think it's either the "whole package"or nothing....depending on their tastes.

I have a thought. There is a reason you have a large following of new users. SSK or as I prefer KISS (keep it simple stupid). If it becomes more complex, you are going to have 1 of 2 things arise:

1: new people will destroy what personal life you have with questions that may seem generic to people who have been doing this for 2 months.

2: You and your helpful followers will become extremely hesitant to help those with "lesser experience" due to the complexity.
