If you want me to post the fix we found i can do that later...

1. HTC Calculator link on the start menu doesnt work ( found a fix )
2. Windows Media Player link on start menu doesnt work ( found a fix )
3. If Opera 9.5 Beta is closed using the x button in the upper right instead of using Menu > exit > ok the widgets menu comes up and you cant reopen Opera without either a soft reset or using a dask manager to end the opera9.exe process.
4. The default lock option is not 6.5 default; it is the old device lock from 6.1 ( found the fix.. this may have been outlined somewhere and I overlooked it )

That being said, I am sticking with this rom because i really think it is the best out there right now for stability, battery life and speed. It really works great and I applaud starmans for his great work.

Yeah please post the fixes

1. htcCalculator was already installed, the issue was only that the link on the start menu was not connected to the actual program. So you just go to Device/Windows and scroll until you see htcCalculator in there. After that hold down on it and copy. Navigate to Device/Windows/Start Menu/Programs and delete the HTC Calculator shortcut that is already there. Then just paste shortcut and if you want you can rename the shortcut to HTC Calculator instead of htcCalculator.

2. The same procedure as 1 except the file you are looking for in Device/Windows is wmplayer and you can delete Windows Media shortcut from Device/Windows/Start Menu/Programs and then paste this one and rename it to Windows Media.

3. The only fix for this is using the Menu > Exit > ok instead of the x there isnt a fix that i have found other than that.

4. If you go to Start > Settings > Lock > Display Tab > change to windows default instead of windows classic and it will be the 6.5 lock press ok and you'll be all set.

Hope this helps anyone with issues.

How do you assign any picture to be the today desktop background? I am using starrom 2.0 and on the prior version if you went to file explorer and held your funger you could set the picture as the today background but for some reason on this rom that option is missing. Is there something that i am doing incorrectly? any help would be appreciated.

1. Since 2.0 the htc calculator has been working.

2. Windows Media Player link and Album video play has been fixed and will be working in 2.1.

3. There is know fix for this it is a problem with the beta, but I still like it better.

4. Using the titanium lock screen messes with the HTC Dialer and if the phone is locked when you receive a call, I have found that most of the time calls are missed. So I chose to disable it purposly.

true, but still worth keeping an eye on for the update to see where STAR ranks

What's the registry edit to disable the HTC keyboard autocomplete for text messages/emails? When I'm using the physical keyboard, autocomplete is screwing up what I type. I'd love to get rid of it altogether.

just load up the default keyboard instead of the touch keyboard and flip the abc/tp switch to the abc side, switch back to the touch keyboard if you want but when you go back to the hardware keyboard it wont do autocomplete anymore. Thats how i fixed it

Doing this in the TF version doesn't work. It auto reloads FingerKeyboard and T9. Would like a way to just remove both if possible, its annoying that I can't even type my own name...
