What does your memory usage percentage look like the task manager when this happens?

Currently showing 74%. Removed some of my MP3 Audiobooks and it looks to be holding so far.

Great ROM! I have been using it for a week now. Was a previous sharkie fan for some time. But your ROM seems much stable and fast.

Here are few things -

The RSS on the home is is just 1 line. Can it be multi line? Or remove it altogether.

Turn off Weather animation to save battery life.

Replace the big clock+weather with a compact one.

I don't see many programs not present in the added as quick link list. How do I add them?

Good. Post updates of any problems.

Sharkie uses CHT mod to get multi-line in RSS reader as well as smaller clocks. My manila is as close to how HTC intends it. The think with CHT is, that it's not really designed for our phones and can result is a lot more memory usage. If you choose to set the home tab wallpaper and set a "Picture Wallpaper", there is no weather animation. And lastly, all programs in the start menu (including ones in folders) should show up to add to the quicklist. Again, the quicklist in the CHT Mod also includes various switches which are not present due to the absence of the mod. This mod can be installed on the ROM afterwards, if you wish.

Thanks for your reply.
Can I remove the RSS feed on the home screen all together. The one line version is actually not very useful in terms of usability.

I'm trying your ROM out now, I like that you are one of the few chefs still tweakign and supporting their ROM. So far looks snappy and quick!

I am really want to keep this ROM since it clean the way I want and has a sprint looks but I having problem with iGuidance 4, not pronouncing street name and take too long to acquire GPS signal.

Love the ROM, LEAD! Quick, stable, and fully-featured.

I too had these problems with iGuidance 2009 (4.1). GPS lock issue was simply a matter of settings for me, but the failure of TTS and uncharacteristic instability was related to Sense.

A couple things for the slow GPS lock issue:

1. Set QuickGPS (Start Menu --> Tools --> QuickGPS) to download satellite position updates automatically. This was disabled by default.
2. In iGuidance, manually enter GPS settings (Tools menu --> GPS options) as follows: COM port = 4, Baud rate = 4800.

I wasn't getting a lock at all at first using this ROM, but now it usually takes only 3 or 4 seconds -and- will even achieve an accurate lock while indoors.

The "not pronouncing street name" issue seems to be related to incompatibility with this particular version of Sense. Turn off Sense (Start Menu --> Settings --> Today --> Today Items), and the street names are pronounced perfectly. Turn it back on, and you only get a short pause instead. Leaving it on also seems to cause bizarre issues in the program where large portions of the map disappear if the app is exited and relaunched multiple times. Only thing that has remedied this is a soft reset.

I also noticed that if you minimize iGuidance while running a demo route and try to switch tabs in Sense while she's speaking directions, Sense will lock up and repeatedly restart itself. Eventually, it will stop trying to reload and place the "Tap here to launch HTC Sense" at the top of the today screen.

Although not the solution I want, I think I will try my hand at a Mortscript to disable Sense automatically before starting iGuidance. Once I get it just right, I'll post it for you...

Thank so much. I will flash back to this rom and give it a try again.

Update: The GPS signal seems to work OK the only problem I have is iGuidance not pronouncing street name and this could be solved as long as I disabled HTC Sense before running iGuidance. I hope LEAD aware of this problem and fix it.

hm im not sure if it's because of the 6.5 rom or sense 2.5 but is it possible to get the startmenu to show up? I mean the one where it lists 6 programs with 4 of the most recently used ones, instead of the honeycomb all programs window?

It's the one thing that's bugged me about 6.5 roms, I don't want to see all the programs when I press start menu :S, I know about the squares below the clock where you can put the programs, but I wanted those in the start menu too.

I haven't read through the entire thread but pictures didn't show it, but is there a working footprints tab in this rom?
