My phone is almost to the point of being unusable. After a soft reset, my phone sometimes does not want to show the home screen. I can click on the start menu, and lock the device... but when I X out of the start menu or unlock, my home screen is just "stuck" on whatever image was on it before.

Othertimes, if I close out of a text conversation... the messaging client will freeze up, with the gray horizontal bar being "clear".

Anyone have any issues with the above programs?

Some of the problems you are experiencing may be due to the fact that a few of your tweaks mod manila files. Anytime you mod manila files, this tends to slow things down quite a bit. I tend to keep mods to a minimum to ensure that the phone stays speedy. It basically user pref, if you can live with the lag, mod away, if not, keep it bare. Hope this helps somewhat.

Short answer: Maybe, maybe not... My guess is "no" since he has a couple of goodies up his sleeve left waiting to be cooked in, but ultimately it's Mike's call. Word to the wise: Don't push him for it, though. If 50 people start e-bombing the thread with questions about when he's going to release again, you might piss him off and it could backfire ;)

Mike's a nice guy, but see the post I linked above for further explanation. When he's ready to cook something up again, he will

If you haven't already, you may want to give Task 29 a shot. Run that bad boy to wipe the nand (I recommend ziggy's version in the 6th post of this thread since his uses a blank splash image). Once you do that, re-download Mike's ROM again and then flash to it. You may also flash to your carrier's stock ROM first before flashing Mighty which will automatically run Task 28 too (that's a good thing). Just be sure to re-activate you phone if needed before flashing to Mighty :thumbleft:

This is like asking how close to the cliff you can get before falling off... Better to avoid the cliff altogether and just scrub the pics from your phone.

There are ways to hide the files while still keeping them on your phone, but be prepared to live with the consequences should your gf stumble upon the old pics. You are warned... :thumbleft:

Thanks for the response. I'm okay with mods slowing things down a bit ... but at the moment my phone is unusable. Its really odd, because I thought I was installing pretty common apps.

I may just hard reset and ditch my customer slider, clock, and BG4ALL =S

How do you "re activate" my phone, prior to flashing?

I don't think I've had to do that in the past when flashing new roms ... does TASK29 change that?

All I mean by that is just make sure the phone works. Call your voicemail and check your data connection before flashing back to Mighty. Verizon has more issues with this than Sprint, so you're probably fine (hence the reason I said "IF needed"). Just looking out for ya :thumbleft:

That makes more sense. Thanks a bunch for your reply.

Do you use MyPhone to sync contacts? And if so, is it suppose to back up the location from your "favorites" tab in Sense UI? If not, whats the best way to restore this?

And lastly. Are custom taskbars that support 1% battery increments known to cause performance issues? Now I'm paranoid =S

OFF TOPIC
But might be a nice toy to add to MR..if it works.

Just an FYI, Chris1683 posted the Swype cab yesterday for his rom. I do not know if it will work on MR but anyone wanting to take a stab at it feel free to do so. Make sure you jump in and thank him for the cab if it works. :mrgreen:

As for taskbars, they're hit and miss since there are so many out there using different dlls. Your only options here are to a) search this thread to see if others use your preferred taskbar without problems, or b) test 'em out yourself

In the past, after restoring my contacts by dragging over PIM.VOL... my favorites are always empty.

Although - I'm not using Resco or Total Commando. I just merely rename the old PIM.VOL to PIM.OLD ... and drag the backed up file over. Could that be a reason why my favorites are not backed up?

This always confused me. With Mike's old ROM, not incorporating Sense 2.5... my favorites were always restored. But not with 2.5...

Well, I know it used to work... perhaps something changed with the later ROM builds.

I personally backup and restore the manila keys in HKCU and HKLM via Sashimi to completely rebuild Sense the way I like it without having to make any manual edits, so I wouldn't have noticed the favorite tab not auto restoring in later builds...

If pim.vol alone doesn't work, backing up this key should do the trick:

HKCU\Software\HTC\People\FavoriteOrder

Ladies and Gentleman...
One of the things I noticed here at PPCGeeks is that we have some fine taskbars / taskbar creators.
Unfortunately, taskbars built for one ROM do not like to play well with updated ROMs as some files are different.
Therefor, custom ROM user (such as you) often cannot find a taskbar that works well...

This post (bookmark it for future use) will be where I take taskbars and fix them up to work with this ROM

First:
Thanks to TSOwen for this upcoming Taskbar. He created it, all I did was fix it. All props to him and thanks for giving me permission to re-release it.

Second:
Thanks to TSOwen, MightyMike and Puritan for answering my questions/providing me with the updated files. Special thanks to ArtQ for hooking me up with a newer version of msigner.

Third:
I CANNOT guarantee that any taskbar I fix will work 100%. While I try my hardest to make sure that everything is in order, I am only human. Standard warning of backing up apply. I used to be good making them, but that was years ago. That being said, I am running this first taskbar with no issues.

Fourth:
File names are as follows:
Author Taskbar MordyT Fixed v1.a
Where author is the author's name, Taskbar is the name (usually just taskbar) MordyT Fixed (duh) v1.a refers to 1 (first taskbar I released) a first revision. If I need to fix something, it become 1.b Please note filename if reporting bugs.

Lastly:
I would prefer that this post was linked to rather the the taskbar being re-posted. This is so everyone is ALWAYS on the same taskbar / there is no older buggier versions flying around.

TSOwen Taskbar MordyT Fixed 1.a

Code:

This is TSOwen's Taskbar for WM 6.5. I updated the HTC volume control and fixed 

a small issue with 59 displaying instead of 60 on the battery meter. I also 

changed the start icon to one I found floating around as well as changing the ok

and close buttons to make it fit the theme better.

Also, despite everyone I asked, I was unable to figure out how to remove the

"no sim inserted" icon. I will continue to work on that, however, if you install

this and have no sim in back, you will not be able to see signal strength.

Thanks lets me know you appreciate the work I put into this!

Screens or links please... makes decision to use easier. Thx
