The overlay of the WM6.5 taskbar on MS3.5 is probably because a version of Showcase by amarullz is installed or burned into your ROM. Deleting startup links to either PositionFix.lnk or ShowcaseSuite.lnk to terminate Showcase is a drastic measure...but I used to do it as well until I discovered the following:

If you want to prevent the WM6.5 taskbar from overlaying the MS3.5 home screen, try the following registry edit (depending upon which version of Showcase is burned into your ROM).

Look for the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\e-Natives Technology.

If you have a folder named WM65xFix, you have an early version of Showcase_X. Open the folder...you should have a key called "WindowClasses" that has "Manila;RESCO_EXPLORER_CLASS" as the text value. DELETE the text "Manila;" (and add "RESCO_REGISTRY_CLASS" separted by a semi-colon if you use Resco Registry Editor). Soft Reset. This should take care of the overlay problem.

If you have a folder named Showcase you have the latest version called "ShowcaseSuite". Open the folder...you should have a key called "SUITE_PositionFix_WinClasses" that has a text value of "Manila;RESCO_EXPLORER_CLASS". Delete the text "Manila" and the semi-colon. (Add the value for Resco Registry Editor as above if you use the program) Soft Reset. This should take care of the overlay! NOTE: If you want the "X" icon to CLOSE the program rather than minimize, change the dword value of the key "SUITE_CloseOnTap" to the value of number 1.

Finally, if you have the older version of Showcase_X burned into your ROM and want to upgrade to ShowcaseSuite, terminate Showcase_X as described by nimrocket. Reboot. Use Remove Programs (if you can) to uninstall e-Natives Showcase. Reboot. Install ShowcaseSuite. Make registry edits.

If you don't see Showcase in your uninstall list, again terminate by removing PositionFix.lnk from your startup folder. Reboot. Re-Install Showcase_X available from here (same as link above). Use Remove Programs to uninstall. Reboot. Install ShowcaseSuite. Make registry edits.

HTH!!!

[edit] Added two .cab files as attachments. If you aren't comfortable making registry edits, use ONE of the attached .cab files depending upon which version of Showcase you have installed.

Use the WM65xFix.cab if you have the older Showcase_X installed. Use Showcase.cab if you have ShowcaseSuite installed. [/edit]

Only thing I noticed is that the reg. tweak messes with the auto position fix that run upon start up of your device so the slider on sense is a bit offset. If you can live with that it's all gravy.

28008-25 is unfortunately hosed until I get to work, which might not be until late tonight.

Thanks for all the amazing support, and I'll do an experiment where I upload to all the sites recommended here, we'll see which one ends up being most reliable.

I chose Mediafire because there are no annoying wait-times or throttled downloads like with Rapidshare, but if it's corrupting downloads, then it's not the way to go.

The number one way to save battery life is to run LUMOS WIZARD which you can find in windows' startmenu > tools. This will run you through a light sensor calibration, and then take over auto-dimming the backlight with a very efficient algorithm. Backlight is the true TP battery killer!

As far as Sense reloading, that should not be happening, but if you install any cabs that are not 100% Sense 2.5 compatible, that will happen. 2.5 is COMPLETELY different from any other manila, in just about every package & mode9, and manila file. Cabs for other manila will almost always overwrite an essential file with an older, incompatible version. best thing is to run it at first without any mods, then if you really need mods make sure you only install compatible.

I'm sure this has been posted but...
I accidentally set the background as "animated" and I can't get it to switch off. Anyone have a clue?

Does anyone know if 28008-24 did any better on battery? I know Lunacie said something about it was supposed to be.

Lunacie, what kind of updated things are in 25, I'm using 23 and just wondering if it's worth the update?

Thanks for all your hard work on this!

V28008-24 has been good for me, some of the other rom in 2.5 would be dea in halsf a day. I had 1 1/2 days off charger while waiting for word on wife in CCU. Maybe 18-20 calls in 24 hours, i would leave phone unpluged by bed.

Hey lunacie- how do you manage to get everything right that everyone else gets so freakin wrong? I love your rom. so stable and quick too. if I had the brain cells to cook a rom it would be exactly like yours. mad props to you bro. i maybe going to a TP2 later this week and passin the TP off to Mom but for now i'm stickin with you. keep em comin bro!

Hey Lunacie;
I had to flash back to 23 because of last nights debackle but I noticed that I'm much more used to the HTC volume control.

Any chance of there being a cab for that?
