WM6.5 build 21501 kitchen

[DanoH5656]

Just reporting in again. The t-tests showed no significant difference between the battery life of these two builds.

For the first question please allow me to use the porcupine effect: What SD card are you using and is it recognized by any other devices? For the second question, 20931 itself takes up more space than previous ones. Can't say how much exactly, but enough to make a difference about how many OEM's can be crammed in. Cook a barebones ROM and just add your OEM's one at a time. It is time consuming like whoa but at least you will know for sure how much you can fit without a lock-up.

To clarify, the battery life difference I was referring to had to do with 1 build (in 2 different ways). One without patches, the other with patches. I have concluded that without the patches, battery life IS in fact better... but... the process to make the non-patched build work is more tedious than most are willing to do. So my recommendation is to not mess with anything. The work that has been done thus far for the Apache is better than any of us could have ever hoped for.

I'm using a VERY generic 4GB MicroSD card. (not sdhc). I bought it on ebay years ago. The SD card has always worked perfectly in every other build that has come out and I've been cooking Roms since I joined in May of last year.

I tried rebuilding the 20931 rom about 3 times with no luck. I reverted back to the 20755 rom and this issue has gone away.

Doesn't matter, you must actually select which driver in new kitchen and between the two you must select the driver you think you don't need (SDHC).
Default driver in new kitchen will not see above 2gig and you have 4GB.
I don't doubt you have no issue using older selections file which is prob using older kitchen files, but for 20931 you need select and try SDHC.
I myself have a 4GB and it is not seen unless I select SDHC.

Anyway I speak from my own trials, can't guarantee the same for you.

Does anyone else have oddly large soft-key menu text? For instance, in IE, when I click the Menu button, the text of the items is rather large, larger than the webpage text. I tried to adjust textsize on the Screen app in the control panel to no avail.

Is there a way to adjust these fonts without rebuilding?

PS: In regards to the immediately above, about an unrecognized SD card, if it's SDHC, try putting in an SD card (say, 512mb) first, then trying your card. My phone would freeze every time I popped in my 8gb SDHC card. It would unfreeze when I removed it. After putting in a 512m card, the 8gb worked immediately, and flawlessly.

Thanks,
Michael

Does auto manager work?

IS there a list of the features that are included in this new build or for any of the builds. I searched but was unsuccessful can some one point me to the right direction?

Thanks

What exactly are you looking for? Its a kitchen. The features are what you want out of it. Take the info on WM6.1 and add whatever packages you want to add. Why not just try it out? The beauty of the 6700 is that you can always return to stock and you dont have to worry about HARD SPLs.

I still am wondering what the reason is for multiple entries for Bubble Breaker & Solitare. I understand that the GUIDs are unique for each entry... so the argument can be made that they are not "duplicate" entries... but why does it need 4? And why does OneNote need 2? When I remove the redundant entries from the selections file directly, it doesn't seem to change the result in the build. So it seems like waste to me. Can someone answer this? I didn't notice this happening in some of the older kitchens.

My selections text file has the same "anomily" with "one note"
Second redundant entry looks formatted to look like a dsm file, but this entry does not exist in either the two PPCkitchen OEM rars, so it's not in the OEM.
