hrmm, seems faster and more stable than 20748 release. Had a few glitches with MS Voice Command. Might need a different version but the others were removed from the latest udpates. I'll pull them out of my archive and test further.

I'll post updates/findings as I go.

Let me start by saying thanks to all behind PPCKitchen - breathing life into my 6700 for a long time now!

I've been using 20755 for 5 days now and the only issues I have:
- MSVC isn't as accurate
- Latest Opera is slow to load and has issues with certain page displays (or is it me?)
- Comm Manager icon is back on bottom of Today screen
- Had some odd events with txt msging - repeating received and sending messages, hangs at times

Does seem faster or more responsive for general use.

I didn't think it was possible to be any quicker, but this certainly is.
Dialer pads are better.
Syncing is super fast.

I've also noticed that MSVC doesn't seem to understand as well, but it's still usable.
Smartskey still doesn't work.
Diamond KB is funky- when I use the regular DKB or Keypad (not QWERTY) it will only use the "hold" key designated digit. This means that all I can type is numbers and punctuation. All other KBs work fine (PCM, OEM and Diamond QWERTY).
None are deal breakers.

After I cook a rom, after hard reset, I get a message saying "tap here to launch TouchFlo" and when I do it says launching and then goes back to the original message of "tap here...". It never starts and I have no today plugin. Any ideas?

what today plugin did you pick? i got that after trying to use the manilla 2d plugin; use the custom manilla 2d plugin in this thread http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=37314 and it should work (at least, it did for me)

Yes. My bluetooth is not working with sync either. Only option is Connect via IR (or by wire of course.)

I tried a couple of different combos and then I just made a bare rom with just the manilla2d plug-in. I would still get that same message. I then found that program over on XDA. I then made a rom using the diamond theme and no today plugin. After the install of that I ran the .cab for manilla2d on my Apache and restarted. It worked fine that way and I am using it right now. Just for some reason when I use the kitchen and chose manilla2d, even by it self with no theme and definitely no other today plugins, I always get the message to tap the screen to start and when I do it does not work.

Yes, this is the Manila plug-in. Here is my advice for that though. DONT USE it unless you want your phone to be as slow as piss from an old man with prostate issues. The Manila plug in looks cool when you get it working, but it offers ZERO benefit. You wont be able to use YouTube, since it requires more free RAM than what you will have after installing the 9 items you need for Manila. And for the rest of the stuff that works, they work about 50% of the time and then crash you back to the today screen. If you like the graphics, just get the SPB Mobile shell and then download the Manila skin from xda-developers. Dont bother with the SPB mobile shell that is built into BuildOS, it will come up immediately expired. Download the trial straight from SPB. I actually purchased it because I like it so much.
