So is it fixed completely?? Cuz I really dont want to reflash if it isnt. Can someone confirm that it is fixed completely??

Edit: Oh what the hell. Here we go again!! FLASHIN TIME!!!!

Edit2: I can confirm it is not completely fixed. The first picture still is disoriented before the pictures start to show correctly. Just like the hotfix did. So if you are on a previous build but have installed the hotfix then you do not need to flash to the 4-10 thinking that the album bug is completely fixed. The hotfix will work just the same.

Guy, you are not understanding that the rotation you see on the first picture is not a bug with my rom and it exists on every single rom using Windows Mobile 6.5 and the new Album with Facebook. This is apparantly the way HTC desgined it (even though it looks weird). The resolution I implemented was I changed back the registry entry HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum "ok_minimize" to dword:00000001 so that after the first picture opens it will not show the roation anymore thereafter. Once again, this is the EXACT behavior as seen on the stock rom, as well as every other rom out there (Thanks again Chino!) Just to reassure everyone also there were no other changes made to Album other than this one registry entry so that when you closed Album, it would not run in the background (which is apparantly what HTC wanted it to do otherwise that entry wouldnt be there)

Just to re-reclarify, this is normal behavior. You WILL see the the roation only in ladnscape with the keyboard out and only when opening the first picture when HTCAlbum.exe is not running. Yes, that means when you close album, and open a new picture again in landscape with the keyboard opened (assuming HTCAlbum.exe is not running yet) it will show the rotation again on the very first picture you open.

*This will be my last comment regarding this issue unless someone finds a version of Album which does not show this issue (the version of Album must have Facebook features within it) or fixes the issue themselves. Hec, I'll even throw in a 20-spot to the lucky person who finds it...lol Until then, I hope this will end the album rotation madness.

Second day with the new ROM. Still no problems. I love it. One thing I did notice is that the Bing app appears to be missing. It's an app that I find very useful. I've posted it below for anyone who wants. - I apologize in advance if it is in there somewhere and I just did look thoroughly enough

Update: Here is the newest version below (Bing.Cab is the newest)

Chris, on post 446 it seems that maybe the installation of the Sprint version of the ROM could have impacted your ROM's is that possible??

No. The Sprint 6.5 update included a newer radio version, and both the older and newer radio work fine for myself and many others with the Sprint Lover's ROM. My rom is only the operating system and does not contain a radio so whatever version you're using before the update to Sprint Lover's, you will have after you install it.

Currently there is no native landscape support for those tabs (from HTC) which would work with our phones.

I wasnt implying that this was a problem with ur Rom. Just clarifying that regardless to wheather ur on the previous build or this one the bug is still there. Ur change log states that the album orientation is "fixed" As if it does not occur at all. Which would probably make someone reflash thinkin that it wont occur but then they are dissappointed when it still is there. I understand that this is an issue with more than one ROM and not urs in particular. I love this ROM but I would hate for someone on ur previous version to reflash and have to set up everything all over again (like me) and then realize that they could have saved themselves a reflash by just using the hotfix. So that is what I meant by asking if the problem was completely fixed. I do understand that this is not a problem with ur ROM in particular but all ROMS running 6.5 with facebook compatibility which would probably be all of them. So for all who read my previous post please know that this is a bug with almost all 6.5 manila 2.5 ROMS and if u are running a previous Chris ROM and u dont want to re flash just to not have the album bug then the hotfix will work just the same. Sorry if u misunderstood me.
