Verizon OEM Update

I'm presuming the same thing is happening under 6.5.

What is likely happening, along with the change for VZW's DLL icons, is that the icons are only changed in one place on other task bars. For the registry edit I posted to work properly, the icons have to be replaced within the shell dll that has all of the icons in it, and I'm guessing that most taskbars do not replace those icons for sound. I looked at a couple, and the stock icons were still there for volume and they were only replaced within the HTCVolumeControl.dll file, which doesn't matter with the reg edit. Given how long it takes to replace the icons in the files to make a custom taskbar, I don't see why people wouldn't take an extra minute or two to make sure all icons are changed as there are battery icons in the shell dll as well that I don't think most people change either.

If you're looking for a taskbar that will work with VZ 6.5, I found that Spike's 6.1 Taskbar edited by MightyMike for CDMA works great. I originally thought that a 6.1 taskbar wouldn't run under 6.5, but that's apparently not the case. If this is true, then the Yay4Juggs fixed by Silverkorn taskbar may work just as well. For VZ, make sure you get the one fixed by Silverkorn. It'll look just like the one in the first post.

I'm not sure all of the mods that were done to the tb's I have found work with Verizon, but the volume control issue was, at least in part, fixed by modding phcanOverbmp.dll (160-on, 161-vibrate, 162-silent).

I know I can't be the only person who can't find a dark dialer that will work properly with this upgrade?!

Nope, too short at the bottom row of numbers, thanks for the suggestion though, they all either seem to do that or break manila


EDIT: And that one broke my 1% battery taskbar icon.

Just curious, anyone else noticing memory leaks with this version? The other night I was at 78%, and 30 megs left for programs. I used Cleanram, and it got it back down to 65% and 64 megs. But when the phone is freshly rebooted I am at 52% and over 85 megs.

Does anyone know if the 6.5 portion of the ROM has been posted as a separate nbh? I know the radio portion is out there, but I'm looking to have a stock backup nbh file to flash in case I have issues with the custom rom I'm using. I don't want to reflash the radio because of reauthentication issue.

TIA,
ST

I'm just going to load the whole thing to get the newer radio and play with it for a couple of days anyway, since I'm waiting for a MaxManilla update before changing from NRG's 28011 Sense 1921 ROM to the newer Sense 1922 ROM.
