Excellent! Glad you are diggin' it.[/QUOTE]

really thanx tho. my bad if i sounded like a prick, everyone interpets things different and people r pushy/snotty whn someone like u or any other chef is tryn to make our experience better. and it was jus that one feature that would have been a deal breaker cuz i promote events. thats for helpin. ive tried alot of roms and i like each one for different things but ur really stands out cuz of speed and multi taskin i can do. its crazy i always have 111mb, i can muilti task like 6 apps and it never drops down passed 85mb available and can switch to txt instantly and i can txt with no wait or lag. waitin for my typing to pop up 3-4 sec after its been pressed was very annoyin. all apps work correctly! man i love it bro no homo lol. if anyone wants to kno im with sprint, page pool 8, apps: FIM,fusion visual voice mail, clean ram, tcmp, omarket, sms cloud,oc apps but havent used them yet, like 8-10 different battery saver things, ect. ill post it l8r if anyone cares but jus want to give my input on an amazing rom.

Hey man loving the ROM definitely would like to see maybe some HTC Apps cooked in like youtube and the latest album with facebook integration, also microsoft myphone would definitely be a nice addition. Just recently flashed so ill let you know if I find anything else missing

[krautdog]

Hey Mav,
Yes what killer said, youtube and album cooked in would be great. Can you give a hint as to when v3 might hit? -'cause I was just about to flash and set up v2. I have been using v1 for the built-in OC but it just won't stay on so I was gonna go to v2, but if v3 is coming soon I might wait for it.

Also, did you cook in CF3.5? I figure you did, but I am one of the people who cannot get the FB widget to connect no matter what I try, and some people have said that updating the framework would fix it.

[krautdog]

never mind my question about .net compact framework...all good.

If you need to see "Input" in Settings, do this:

Using your favorite registry editor, go to:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Input]

Here, you will find a key called "Redirect" value"

Delete this key. Reset.

UGh, thank god! I just started using Swype and it was starting to get severely annoying that fingerkeyboard would keep setting itself as default.

Won't stick after a soft reset though....

This is definitely one of the best ROMS out there, I got the phone the first week it came out. I was real happy with 6.1 and my tweak cabs, virtually no problems and ran very fast. I only started flashing because I assumed I could get a 6.1 ROM all ready cooked like the way I had it tweaked with cabs.

That really never happened and I just started trying ROMS and some have worked great for a while and then they petered out.

Then I realized that my 6700 ran problem free for a long time on a DCD ROM that was just a modified home screen, until I decided to flash a manila ROM. Ever since then I have nothing but problems with manila.

What I would love to see is just more refinement to make this ROM even better, I think I'm in for the long haul with this phone until they release a suitable replacement for it, so I need to get something reliable sorted out before everyone moves onto "giant screen android" phones.

Personally I'd like to see:

*1. Icons showing up in SPB Menu, I normally wouldn't care but this stops me from using quick links and "advanced mode favorites and recent" because things just show up as a transparent white windows with blue top bars.

For my Skyfire's Icon and the repacked OCT v1.5, which ninjaduck made icons for, are the biggest one's for me that I would love to see working. Here is the ninjaduck repack with icons.

*2. I'd like to be able to keep Swype as a default input method if I want to, maybe not all the time, but at least when I set it.

*3. Is there a way to make a "favorite contacts" shortcut that I can put on my home screen? The shortcut in the program folders goes to "all contacts". Even better would be a widget to the "contacts carousel", but favorites would be the priority.

*4. Not a big deal, (or if it it's possible) but It would be great if I could click on the battery widget and it opened an actual battery monitoring program link in maxsense, I'm constantly checking my current draw to maximize battery life. But I think that without manila it never really draws enough current to sap the battery quickly, so I probably won't be doing that as much. So not a big deal, I do have the program shortcut widget on my desktop. It would be super cool to have a current drain monitor on the home screen, not sure how much juice that would use though? 30mah?



----------------------------------
These are tweaks I do to any ROM, you may or may not want to incorporate into yours, if it's even possible. Not a huge deal, only takes me a few minutes to adjust these settings.


*1. I delete the notification that turns on activesync all the time. This doesn't stop it from working, just not running all the time until you plug in. Taskmanager works a lot faster because it doesn't have to close activesync every time you hit "Close All"

It's "repllog.exe" in notifications if anyone is interested, there are three of them, you only want to delete the one that has the description of "AppRunAfterTimeChange" or something like that.\

*2. Change network from "Global" to "CDMA", no point wasting battery and resource searching for a GSM signal I'm not using.

That's all I can think of at the moment, awesome ROM other wise, thanks for the hard work!

This rom, for me, makes my phone feel new again. It may just be mobile shell vs manila but its awesome. Thank you. I may just be able to make it till the end of my contract now. Love the start bar, its so clean and the phone is now responsive immediately.

As for a v.3; I want to be able to make my icons bigger. I use the icon changer and when I tap to change the icon skin, there is no option to use a bigger icon. The icons are high quality and I'd like to see them. I would also like to see the weather widget use the gps like, that may be a pipe dream but you have not because you ask not.

Again, these are small issues...the rom is a blessing. Thank you.

v3 may be a little while coming. Gotta take care of non-phone related stuff Besides, I am not really having any mojor issues with the phone, and other than cosmetic changes, don't have a strong reason to start messing with this stuff
At least that's what the wife tells me

Huh? Why not? Mine is sticking fine after a soft reset. You can use NueSipDefault to change your default input method whenever you want. I believe there's also a regedit you can use to change this.

Most of this stuff is SPB Shell related, or icon management related.
The SIP changing question I've addressed above.
To change/add icons, there are several good icon managers out there that will do the trick. They can be found on XDA.
There's a nice thread on XDA that tells you how to set up shortcuts to any panel in SPB Shell.
Can't do much about the battery widget. That's totally up to SPB. Write to SPB and see what they say

In SPB Shell, you can change the size of the icons displayed, by changing widget options. The weather widget is built by SPB - not much I can do with that

[thayer]

seems like most of the small details have to do with mobile shell. I wasn't able to find out how to make the icons bigger. I'm sure its something silly I'm missing. there is no widget options I'm aware of. I tap and hold on the widget to change the skin. In the last version of mobile shell I had, there was a skin option that allowed you to make it bigger.

Does anyone have a sprint prl and profile update cab that works in this rom. I've used 2 and none of them show up in the system settings menu. There are also some shortcuts in the system settings menu that do nothing like managed programs, car kit mode, task manager, uploader, and spb phone suite. Aside from that i'm really amazed at the speed and battery life on this rom.
