LOL, I've often thought that exact thing to myself

Sharkie: Just tried out your rom for the first time. using sprint version 4.0 6.5.x. PS I just moved from Brooklyn, NC to Durham NC in RTP. Just had to say that because i noticed on your weather it said Durham. You probably live next door to me.

How do you like the ROM?

[Sharkie405]

Made a new UCWeb icon for those of you that keep it.

Oh, and I've also updated to v7.4 (Thanks to steve070 for making it easy and posting that cab) which is much nicer I must say.

Sharkie if you make the mail mod a cab install on your rom that would be cool but if you uninstall the cab it will make the widgets go transparent because you have CHT a cab install also and not cooked into the rom its self so it doesnt have the orginal files to fall back on. Just letting you know that befor you do the next rom release. Maybe post a cab to revert back to orginal widgets. Glad everyone likes it tho.

Its running pretty smooth so far. I am coming over from VINNs ROM who Roms always ran well. I just made the switch because I wanted to have the latest Pluto. I am not sure about battery life yet but it seems to be working good so far. The UC browser seems to be better than Oprah. It moves much smoother and when you go to a site most of the time it brings you to the mobile version of the site which helps. No compliants so far. Any suggestions........... Drinks on me tonight!

Great rom, tried a while ago and went with others for a bit, but back to yours again and seems you're just getting better and better.

One thing I noticed is you have the same issue as the inferno rom did. Some of us old dudes remember and still use MIDI ringtones at times. They sound really weird with the mini instrument setup in default. Here's the stuff I found that fixed that rom and it worked for yours too:

Noticed my midi ringtones sound crappy, like doorbell sounds. I can play them fine in core or windows media, but when playing via ringtones, crappy. Did some searching and comparing stuff between recent flash and stock/other flashes. Noticed the old flashes have these and other similar registry entries, and this rom does not :

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\midifile\Shellex\EventSoundHandlers\{4F8899FC-30E7-4067-A97E-2D1403F2DC23}]
"Default"="RingTone-Plugin Player EX4"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{4F8899FC-30E7-4067-A97E-2D1403F2DC23}]
"Default"="RingTone-Plugin Player EX4"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{4F8899FC-30E7-4067-A97E-2D1403F2DC23}\InprocServer32]
"ThreadingModel"="Free"
"Default"="RTPlugInEx3.dll"

It was the ringtone plugin. I downloaded this mega pack here: ROM Packages from HTC Mega (QVGA WM 6.5) - xda-developers
then copied the rtpluginex3.dll to the windows directory and imported the rgu registry entries. After that, the midi ringtones sounded normal again.

I'll check it out. Thanks for your feedback and for trying me out again!

OK, so I have your skin installing as a cab at boot up. I just tried to remove it and everything was fine. The CHT mail widget returned to the stock files and the Mail Tab also returned to the stock files.

Did you try it out and you got no images? Or were you just speculating on what may happen? If you got no images, I'm not sure why. I have it installing after CHT so the CHT files are still there and are what's left after the removal of your skin.

And, in case anyone was wondering. This skin still works fine on Sense Mail with CHT removed, even though it contains a couple of CHT files.

Yea the email tab and wdgt will be fine but the sms wdgt goes trans. The email wdgt gets its img from the same file as the tab but the sms wdgt is part of cht so if you cab install cht the replace the file with another cab then uninstall the file gets deleted because its not part of the rom files.
