I haven't seen this, but was just wondering if this is something I should watch out for, or know about??

I turned my phone last week and I received this message also. Can anyone help us with this.

I wanted to make a request for the 1.06 release. Can you please let the user install a task manager? I really dont like the one the rom comes with right now and I currently use Showcase. I still have the other task manager loading up too though and it cant be removed.

For those having problems after flashing, I really recommend that you flash to stock first and then install the NFS Rom. When I first flashed to 1.04, I did it without flashing to stock and I came across all kinds of problems, internet sharing didnt work, wifi router and a couple other problems. 1.04 and 1.05 have been flawless after flashing to stock then NFS rom. Also, do a hard reset after the first flash.

sure i can...when it expires on may 1st - just flash another rom microsoft intends most of these builds to stay with microsoft. like beta testing, so many of them have these 'time-bombs' ... its really not the end of the world, everyone has a month or so to do some research and most importantly READ the rom threads and find another rom that will suit your needs. that is of course unless NFSFAN releases another rom before may 1st...

A hard reset fixed the timebomb problem I was having a few weeks ago. Something to try before abandoning a rom.

umm maybe someone could chime in who knows but isnt the time bomb IN the rom..so no matter how many hard resets you do, soon as may 1st hits it is kaput. maybe you just dont get the messages anymore, but if its timebombed than i just cant imagine a hard reset would change that fact. either way, these arent new, microsoft has been doing it for ages, most times the guys who make these roms are able to cook them with out the timebomb, but its not life or death stuff. lots of options out there

That's what I would have expected too, but when it happened to me my phone would refuse to boot (complained that it had expired etc.), then I hard reset and it worked fine. Also, I have not received any May 1st timebomb notices that you all are reporting.

Hey Guys,

First I want to say thanks to NFS for an awesome rom! I am super excited to have the new Sense UI as an upgrade to the stock TouchFlo3D.

I was just wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to get rid of the WM 6.5 bar at the bottom of the screen when Sense is running.

Sorry if this has been asked before, and thanks for the help!

This really isn't such a hard issue to investigate. Since the TP is really just a small pc, advancing the date to May 10th, 2010 - setting the phone to not update from network - turning on flight mode and turn off and restart. My TP is currently running this ROM with the date May 10th, 2010 with no issues. I haven't seen an alert or warning but just to add some peace of mind I ran this test.
