But I succumbed to the majority and it wreaked havoc on my TP2. Switched over to Energy and after a few minor adjustments it works. Probably try Juicy and Mighty too but I'm going to go back to stock VZW since I hear that's how to remove splash screens.

No other way to remove those eh?

What I did to get rid of the splash screens was to flash back to the shipped ROM and do a hard reset and they are all gone.

Mighty is awesome btw and Juicy is a close second.

I like Mike's, Juicy's Cfay's and Nagra's ROM's but for the looks, features, and options this is my favorite so far. It has a few bugs like the start up screen and the freezing when swapping between the multi screens but overall this thing is a working progress and as long as Elite tweaks the little things it will be the stuff by far.

Cant wait for a R2 release on this thing.

Its good to see someone else digging this rom other than me, wish more people with give this things a chance and bring a little more traffic in here.

This ROM works for me after the following tweaks:

• Tools->Advanced Config: Fix the splash screens here
• Settings->System->Startup Manager->Disable TouchFlo from Auto Starting
• Settings->System->Soft Key Change "Desktop" Key on the bottom left into a Contacts shortcut, this disables the other path whereby TouchFlo would startup
• Install PocketInformant
• Install Shoaco's improved Start Menu (Smaller honeycomb/Icons)
• Setup Today screen with HTC home plugin (Banzai HTC Home Plugin, found on XDA)
  
  
  
  
  
  

Things I still need to do (this To-do list is really for my own reference):

1. Organize start menu into fewer folders, get rid of links to things I will never use.
2. Install Pocket Player and setup with Bluetooth Headphones
3. Install SPB Backup and setup a nightly Backup
4. Install G-Alarm
5. Load Custom Ring tones
6. Setup G-mail "exchange server" sync (Remember to not synchronize "tasks")
7. Install S2U2, or alternatively set up built in WM6.5 slide to unlock so it is tolerable.

Question: Is there any way in this ROM or otherwise to stop it from ever going into portrait mode? I would prefer to stay in landscape at all times.

Landscape is the mode it is in when the keyboard is out. I want it to be in that mode all the time, including when the keyboard is closed. Landscape is the mode where it is more pixels wide than tall.

If you look two posts above yours, my answer to your question is there.

I also like the rom but there were to problems. One it is sluggish and slow and the start up screens I just could not deal with. I did run it for a day and overall like it because everything works lol. Its just to slow and I just really don't like the screens. I will be waiting for the updated rom with hopfully more speed and different low key type of screens lol.

Well, I flashed this and gave it a whirl.....its definitely not bad and has potential but does need a significant amount of tweaking before I'd consider is usable. For the time being I'll say "great work so far, keep me posted" but I'll stick with MR for the time being.
