RealVGA 96dpi Manila/Touchflo 2D Roms - Page 2

Is there any way to change the function of the power button to turn antenna off if pressed and turn the whole phone off if held? This is one of my biggest complaints about Palms design. I fly frequently and it's ridiculous that they don't have a power button that actually turns the phone off.

Bug Found:
It looks like the scrolling bug in the phone browser is still there. If you press "phone" or the green button and start scrolling through the contacts it doesn't render correctly and starts garbling names. If scroll up it highlights and renders correctly.

@6.5:
-looks good!
-I don't get my synced (Exchange)mail in the Touchflo mail tab?

Is it possible (much work?) to cook a 6.5 version with RealVGA but without the Touchflo?

Keep up the good job!
Ron

So I don't know if this is one of the differences between the 6.5 and the 6.5.x builds but the UI for the alarms seems to be the old buggy 6.1 ui. The alarm only sounded once and it looks like it may not allow me to use MP3's like 6.1... this was fixed in later releases of 6.5.x. Also later releases used a much more "finger tappable" UI. The old interface has very small tabs and such so it's near impossible to tap... I don't think that's just because I'm using 96DPI

Also, the alarm sound wouldn't repeat even though that box was checked.

Currently I have the backlight set to go off at 10 seconds while on battery and 30 seconds while on external power but something running on the phone is preventing the backlight from sleeping. If I lock the phone the backlight goes to screensaver.

Found another bug. It won't let me send an SMS longer than one message (160 characters). It just automatically moves the cursor back to before the 160 character mark.

The phone isn't charging on the cradle. the box that says "don't charge when in the cradle" is unchecked and the red charge light is on, but it's not charging. I'm gonna have to go to another ROM until you can get these fixed.

I'm noticing that the SMS notification isn't working. There have been several SMS messages that I didn't know about. I'm not sure about this, but Some of the SMS messages don't appear in the list... I wonder if it's loosing messages.

Also, can you add in a dialpad on the screen that allows me to see the letters corresponding to which numbers on the number pad? It's really annoying to have to try to memorize what number corresponds to which letter on 800 numbers.

Any idea when you might be able to work on these fixes? You have a great start here, but a lot of the bugs im finding make it hard to want to use the ROM. I don't mind testing, but already a couple of guys working on ROM's have just disappeared and it feels like a waste of my time testing when people do that. If you're gonna keep working on the ROM, then I'll keep testing, but otherwise I'm just going to switch to another ROM.

OK, downloaded and installed the latest ROM 23549. So far so good! THANK YOU so much for providing a version that was new enough to include a fixed alarm clock and other enhancements.

I found a few bugs and some suggestions:
- The up/down hardkeys don't work on the main screen. They work in the start menu but not in CHome. The finger sliding does work so that is a workaround for now.
- The backlight timeout does not work. It's supposed to turn the screen saver on after 10 seconds of inactivity, but stays perpetually bright. If you lock the screen it will work properly but not otherwise.
- Windows Media Player is still slow to load and every few seconds has to buffer the song. I know it's not the media card because in the past I've loaded players like Nitrogen and at times the HTC media player without this same buffering problem.

Suggestions
- Change the start menu to 4 across icons instead of three. The current mode makes the icons look oversized.
- Put HTC media player into the ROM if not able to fix the buffering problem with WMP. I think the latest version that you had in your first ROM worked fairly well.

Question:
- What does Showcase do? I couldn't really figure it out from dinking around.
