I wonder if windows mobile 6.5 will get support for the replacement skydrive initiative they talked about in the cancelation email...

One other strange thing I noticed is that when you select show file extensions in file explorer they are not shown. I assume you have the app "File explorer extension" cooked in as most of the new features are there. However you may not be on the latest version (2.07), which has full compatability for 6.5.

Windows Marketplace for Mobile Web Site To Be Discontinued

The Windows Marketplace for Mobile web site at http://marketplace.windowsphone.com will no longer be available starting on July 15, 2011. After July 15, 2011, you will no longer be able to browse, buy or download applications for Windows Mobile 6.x phones via the Windows Marketplace for Mobile web site.

The Windows Marketplace for Mobile service will continue to be available on your phone, however. You will continue to be able to browse, buy and download applications for Windows Mobile 6.x on your phone.

Thus while access to the marketplace will no longer be available via a web browser, the app on the phone should still continue to function, and thus should be left in the rom.


My 2¢ on the MyPhone is that it was never useful in the first place as I always sync my phone with Outlook and my cooperate Exchange server so I have two backups of the data, and have never used that application.

Another thing I would like to see added is the sms character count in manila texting when the physical keyboard is out just like when you use the touch screen keyboard in portrait.

File Explorer Extension v2.07 and v2.06 have a bug that freezes the phone when exiting it while in the storage card. I plan to exclude My Phone from the next release. And Briggs, did ya try the latest beta? It has the character count under the send button, because it's hard to place it in the text box while in landscape (no space), and it's in both portrait and landscape.

oops, I guess I'm still on an older version. It's running so well I guess I was waiting for the next RC.

Just haven't made the time to upgrade and reprovision everything.

Have you ever tried adding the RSS reader tab to sense? I think it might be handy.

You got anything coming down the pipe soon or should I try the beta?

There might be one more beta before the RC, just to get opinions and stuff. I've been thinking on the RSS home tab. Though, many people may not use the RSS tab itself, if I can make it work flawlessly, it is still an upgrade with additional capability.

[briggs]

Nice. the RSS Tab is not a big deal, I mean a quicklink to the RSS Hub is the same thing pretty much.

I don't know how into this manilla modding you are but I have always found it to be a pain in the ass when I'm scrolling through artists and songs in the music tab that there isn't a search at the top or alphabetical listing to the right to get through the list.

I've got like 20 gigs of music on my phone and it takes for ever to get down the list, especially when driving.

Also dunno if it's hard to add listing to menus but I wouldn't mind being able to open elecont weather from the weather tab menu or by clicking on the weather tab big display...

[briggs]

what version of total commander works best on this rom, or what do you use for a registry editor lead?

Also, is it possible to get a clock up next to the battery?

Yes! Go to Start->Settings->Clocks & Alarms->More[Tab]-> Check the "Display the clock on the title bar in all programs" option -> Presto there is always a clock visible on the screen (well except when Opera is open in full screen mode)!

Ya but then there's no battery meter. I want both

At very top of screen..

[briggs]

That's great man, I like that battery gauge.

[geeksquad]

I noticed with every Lead Rom that sometimes my physical keyboard wont work when pushed and then I would have to reset the phone and it works. And is there a way to make a shortcut for making the phone silent and a bluetooth on and off shortcut?


Thanks
