Yay! Can't wait to see what you can do with the new CDMA 6.5 that USC released...

So, COM2 is 6.5, and COM3 is 6.5.1? Is that correct? I am currently running the stock 6.1 from HTC (July release for US Cellular) and would like to upgrade to 6.5, but don't really want to mess around with problems caused by the moved start button and all that. I used one of the DCD ROMs for my Titan and loved it. Looking for the most stable 6.5 ROM now for my Touch Pro...

Yes, I'm familiar with wktask... and I dont much care for it. I find Qmenu to be a much more efficient and responsive task manager.
Besides- with wktask, I'd STILL have an X on the bottom that doesnt do what I want as well as an X on top that does. Part of my gripe with the new UI is how messy and unfinished it all feels. Having a redundant X with different properties would make it even worse!

Sort of- 6.5.1 isn't an official name for anything- its just what forum-goers have decided to call the leaked builds with the new UI. And there are various forms of the new UI as well, I believe. DCD is using the one internally referred to as com3 for one of his roms, while this one keeps the traditional UI (com2). Correct me if I'm wrong, DCD.

But yes, as far as fast and stable for touch Pro, this may be your best choice, although be prepared to install a lot manually- his rom is very bare bones (which I LOVE about it).

Ah, thanks for clarifying that. As long as it has the basics (like his titan ROMs had) I am fine with installing all of the other apps. If I come across an app that isn't in the ROM and I can't find a cab for, I know a couple great sites to check...

OT: I have mainly been using MS 3.5 with TFDetacher to switch back and forth between MS and the TF3D in 6.1. As soon as I get confirmation that this will still work, I will probably upgrade

Have my phone backed up, going to work on gathering all the cabs I need for the flash tomorrow. *crosses fingers*

EDIT: flashed and some of the cabs reinstalled. A few seem to have finally gotten too old (they were pre-Titan programs) but that just means I need to find better ones now, right? I have to say the today screen is a LOT nice than 6.1. Haven't even looked at TF3d yet, not sure I really want to either, that's how much I like it as-is. Another great rom DCD, thanks!!

Ok, first off, I love the ROM. However, before I upgraded I could sync my Napster To Go subscription with my Touch Pro just fine. Now, I can sync with my computer, but Napster won't even register it as being connected. WMP will see it, but won't transfer because "The content provider has not granted you the right to sync this file. Go to the content provider's online store to get sync rights."

Nothing has changed other than the ROM. I have looked around the forums here as well as Napster's and HTC's, and have come to the conclusion that there was something in the base ROM dealing with DRM that is either conflicting now, or was accidentally removed from the build. I really don't want to have to remove all the DRM just so I can play music on my phone. When it works, it is 'click download, click add to device, enjoy'.

Anyone have any ideas? I have a full backup from SPB Backup (including registry) that I spent all day going through comparing to the current setup, but didn't notice anything that jumped out as a possible fix. I really do not want to have to pick between listening to music or having a great ROM...Willing to work with people on figuring this out, as I am not the only one this has happened to.

I had a similar problem with windows media licensing. Unfortunately, it's been a while so I don't remember the details. But I think the problem occurred even when I just hard reset. You could go back to the previous ROM to see if it's the ROM or something else. Sorry I can't be of more help. I remember posting here and/or xda for help, but I don't remember anyone answering.

I think I might have seen your post somewhere. DCD or any other devs have any news or info about this? If it was removed and there is a good reason (fear of riaa reprisals or the like) or if we are just a low minority of 'customers' that it was taken out to save space/etc for the masses, that's fine with me, but some news would be nice
