Yes...i agree...
They are really bad speaking of market strategy...confused and without a clear vision of factors that determine a success or a fiasco...

With WP7 they copied Apple strategy...but Apple has success for a lot of factors that nobody in M$ considered...
Android grow up and easily surclassed WM6.5 on its own ground...with M$ that could not decide what to do...

Hey kyderr.. couldn't stay @ 999, flipped upside down it's 666 :>)) thanks

Don't wait, utask is just a background util nrg sets the windows/start hard key up to point to his alternative startmenus (panel, compact, etc..) with, as powinmo detailed out. If you don't use an alternative startmenu via SMLS (settings, start menu layout switch) it won't affect you. Strongly recommend you do.. the RAM saving is awesome & you'll not run out of memory on Opera any longer...
If so, you simply have to assign the windows/start hard key to windows\start.exe first! (the "fix" in red prior page) easy...

SWLARAUT: DRM, thanks will have to look back.. nope didn't go "dark"
In fact, I spent almost 2 hours @ Sprint repair center while they confirmed what I told them about the GPS on my TP2.. played with the
Echo, EVO, Epic, EVO shift & Arrive (wm7) for 2 hours straight...!

MY SPRINT PHONE EVAL (browser / screen)
Primary thing I noticed, (my opinion) the Arrive had the most responsive, least jumpy/ smooth, easy to browse screen on websites. I always use ppcgeeks to test with, as it's a tad heavy, adds, need to zoom to select different pages, good overall test of maneuvering around, edit, etc.. by far the cleanest.

Still hate the wm7 menu, but was surprised by how fast, & how the font made the web pages display very easy to read... I was sick when I heard it had such a small screen, but it's truly amazing how they've used some tricks to make the web pages so easy to use & browse & read... it's almost like they know what specific text to zoom in just a little better. Of course the EVO screen being big gave a better perspective, but I felt it was jumpy & very unresponsive.

The Epic was probably #2 in line... very nice browsing, not as smooth tho.. Had a blast with the Echo, very cool, however felt the need to really had to push hard & the screens (yes 2 of them) were very unresponsive & almost impossible to move around & zoom (perhaps tweaking may improve it)

Wizzard: to cut to the chase on all the voice command stuff... that patch is years old...! NRG's cab for it is way old!! Use the link I provided & choose from a whole list of them, all newer than those. My take? Why are we on this website? The latest & greatest right? And then to put on a 2009 voice command? lol... :>)) I'll bet they made a bunch of improvements right?...

Thanks Teradog:

I have used the 23568 build for a long time and never had a problem. For some reason in the 23rd ROM it would not load???

I tried the 23563 build and it worked, so I will use it for now.

done, easy (*edit* corrected a misspell & added more detail)

doing this, switched start menu to panel, and wont let me switch, I select compact and reboot and panel is still being used..



EDIT: to use compact start menu put quick menu.exe in place of start.exe....

[teradog]

sorry, didn't test everyone.. go into windows dir with total commander, st_.mscr.. run each one, cancel until you get the one u want.. then try it. gotta go to baseball, will look @ later, but you'll see a line in the script if it doesn't work that it maps the ameba, windows=start.exe... if your's isn't start.exe, simply put what it is in the fix i described

Exact same Problem with Panel mode, but I used: "windows\_QuickMenu.lnk"

For some reason I have always preferred using shortcut links although I believe there is no performance difference.

Anyone else using the wm messaging notice lag when opening texts? for some reason under both apr 26 titanium and cookie 2.0 the messaging app is very buggy. With a dynamic pp and set ppl of 20. Kinda weird.

What: Start Menu replacement scripts

Purpose: modify NRGZ28's original start menu replacement scripts to provide updated functionality

Features:

a. supports Energy ROMs with either Ameba or uTask for WinSoftKey + X management. Will auto detect which manager is installed and provide the proper configuration settings

b. can auto detect if the script is run in manual UI mode, which shows UI prompts and will reboot at end of script

c. can auto detect if the script is run via XDA_UC or S4X, which will auto install without UI prompts and will not reboot at the end of the script to allow for automation completion. It is up to the end user to reboot to complete the start menu update.

Basically drop either script in to your UDA_UC or S4X install as-is.

d. can be called with another mortscript and if you pass the parameter "Mode,SILENT", will operate exactly as it would under XDAUC/S4X.

Scripts:
stc_startmenu_compact.mscr = Compact menu (quickmenu.exe)
stcp_startmenu_panel.mscr = Panel menu (start.exe)
(the other start menu scripts can be updated if there is a demand for them, these two are the ones my users or I use)

Versions:
1.1 = see my original post
1.2 = added Ameba + uTask support, XDA_UC/S4X automation

Enjoy! Feedback/bugs/etc welcome...
(NRGZ is more than welcome to bake these scripts )
