You'll probably get a nicer GUI appearance as well as quicker build times if you just build the ROM in your host OS and then only use VMWare for flashing. The kitchen is 64bit compatible.

This is in VM Ware, will give it a shot this evening on Vista 64.

In SPB 4 I have noticed some strange behavior - If you click to open a link in a new Tab, it opens File Explorer. Also, you don't seem to be able to configure the IE settings like the original. And as you mentioned, the scrolling does not work anywhere but IE, and it is also no longer configurable.
Thanks for all your great work on this, and if you happen to poke at it some more, thanks for that too!

Kitchen team bug/feature question:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...768#post123768

Seen this posted a few times, verify no BT DUN profile in the kitchen? The post above links to an cab over at xda that claims to add bt dun back in to wm6, with a minor issue on ending the session.

Responded in the other thread, but for completeness BT DUN is very much included with this kitchen (by default even). If you unchecked Modem Link then you don't have it--because that's where it "lives". In order to do DUN with Wmodem you need to build with both Wmodem and Modem Link (but both are preselected by default).

And you have to actually run WModem, not Modem Link, to get a bluetooth connection choice. Kinda confusing, but I get it. Do we NEED a Modem Link shortcut in Programs at all?

I can't reproduce the "open in file explorer" issue. can you give me a run down of what you do. I tried to goto www.yahoo.com, after the page loaded i picked a random link, clicked and held and choose open in new tab..it worked as expected.

(This is from the SPB 4.01 OEM 1.2 dated 11/15/07)

I'm doing file and registry comparisons trying to find the missing link with the smart scrolling.

Thanks to luv2chill for finding the error in the rgu.



powerSaving.zip

Works wonders! Power usage dropped at least 30% YAY!!!!
Excellent work Tiermann, as always many thanks.

That's the same question I have - now that I've got it, what do I do with it? TIA - sheureka

Import it using your favorite registry editor (not all can import--but I know for a fact that dotfred task manager will. I think Resco will as well but can be picky about the format.)

Ah hell, here's a cab. Unzip, copy to device, and install.

And just FYI I have never seen any objective measurement of battery savings with these reg entries--just a lot of anecdotal stuff (which is not to say there is no improvement, but until there's some hard factual evidence then take these as being experimental only).
