Keep up the great work as the kitchen keeps getting better with age!

BuildOS was not upgraded in this release. Those errors will be fixed in the next BuildOS update, will should happen sometime in the next couple of days.

I have some missing module's and some that seem important would be
htc camera
comm manager 10 button apache style
solitaire and bubble breaker.

I am guessing these just moved??

I would hate to not have 10 button comm manager and my camera working.

They were repackaged/modified/updated. You'll need to reselect them.

I don't if this has been addressed yet but I've posted questions in this thread and they've never been answered. My problem is that during phone calls my battery drains rapidly and so after a 30 min. phone call my battery is dead. I've done all of the registry tweaks and did the tweaks with the advanced congfiguration. Battery lasts longer without usage as a result but during phone conversation I still get enormous battery consumption. I have spb mobile shell 2.0 running along with weatherpanel on my today screen. Without either of the two running or even removed from my phone, I STILL have the serious battery drainage. I've asked for assistance my times and have had no response. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS. CAN SOMEONE EITHER PM ME OR RESPOND HERE ON THIS THREAD. I'M WILLING TO EVEN SEND A DONATION THROUGH PAYPAL IF SOMEONE CAN HELP AND I GET GOOD RESULTS! Thanks in advance

what's the battery usage/life without WM6.1? Try flashing WM6 or even one of the WM5 kitchens to your phone and see how long it lasts. Could be the battery, or could be WM6.1.

So ggurusa, how do i go about doing this, is the only real difference between WM6 and 6.1 the threaded texts, if so i already downloaded a cab for that and have threaded text, so maybe this is more of a hassle then its worth?

Imnuts, this may be after the fact, but have you selected AS to only connect to a server "manually"?

That you phone dies rapidly when you use it to talk indicates you likely need a new battery. How old is your battery?

I have only found 2 issues with wm 6.1 on my phone.

1) None of the contact managers work, or work well. I ended up using the windows contact manager. I love PocketCM, but this version is newer and not as user friendly.

2) SMS seems to have random delays.... Or maybe I'm just paranoid.

All in all, GREAT job guys! I was about to ditch my Apache, but this wm 6.1 with TouchFlo breathes new life into it!

the battery drain issue is very real. i am experiencing the problem even with the tweak installed. i am suspecting something with bluetooth, but I have no idea. i am really surprised this isnt getting more attention. it was not a problem for me with 6.0

Use abc power meter to log your power usage, for me streaming ebooks to my bt moto h500 headset, the odd bit of wifi, ( 5 mins a day) and phone on gives me power usage of 138 AVG or 110 mAh per hour, which equals around 12 hrs use on new stock battery. Mine isnt new and I get 8 hrs out of it.
