Q

You need to go to Settings -> Buttons and fix it there. No biggie.

Q

I had to assign it to the button on mine for it to work.

there is some redundancy...
2 recorders (the new one doesn't seem as good as the old one...am I missing something here?)
2 calculators (the old calc gets its buttons kicked by the new calc)
2 internet browsers... IE and Deepfish... I already use PixelBrowser and Netfront, but that's just me.
2 File explorers... yeah, Resco is better and needs to be registered...
3 Modem Linking apps... I don't know enough on this to know the differences
3 Media Players... I suppose this is still necessary for functionalities/compatibilities.

UnlockExtendedRom... isn't it now unlocked by default? I didn't need to run this to use it as extra space on mine anyway, but maybe I just don't know something else this does.

Function to "Suggest Words" when entering text (default is now to suggest after entering SPACE, I just set it to be after 3 letters) btw- that can be fixed under "Global Options" within the Notes/Options Menu.

Edit- this only occurred while other apps were running in the background: (The sand game is cool, but it kicked some dirt in the eye of my little processor. Locked it up within minutes of playtime. Maybe we just need to learn how to play nicer in the sandbox, but it definitely can lock up the clockwork and is just asking for a cold boot.)

Also, YahooGo is for Yahoos. Is there a goog app out there for us Googlians?

@ RagingIdiot: This was just a test release for people to play with, hence all the duplicate types of applications for all users. Tried to accommodate as many people as possible without having them install a bunch of cabs. Ur ROM is also still unlocked from previous ROM flashes that you have done. This ROM does not touch ur extROM. That app is for ppl that havent done so previously. Yahoo Go is just a personal pref of Helmi, he uses it. Dont know of any google apps as of yet.

@ CafeteriaMan: Did you let your ext rom customize after you flashed the ROM (big No-No), also make sure to hard reset properly after you flash the ROM. I cannot duplicate your errors.

@ Hefman: Palm messaging was a realized problem before the release. Guess we should have mentioned that huh. It might be low level and this is just for apache users to know that wm6 is available for them. There is more and better to come from Helmi. we just want more ppl to test this on a wide arena so we can have better suggestions and results.

Thanks.

Well, I can report that all the other apps I've installed are working flawlessly -- PocketBreeze, PhoneWeaver, Resco Photo Viewer, Inesoft Address Book, MSVC (other than the button 5 thing)...

I'll wait to hear more news about Palm SMS. The good news is that the WM6 messaging app seems to allow me to send SMS to email, which is one of the big plusses with the Palm app. That may be enough to keep me using this for a while.

Using the 3.5 Kitchen to make my own ROM I was able to send text messages from the Palm Threaded App to E-mails.

Naigaboy, nice explanation, that cleared up a few things for me. Other than the couple of minor things below and a bit of slowness sometimes (and the excess apps which the kitchen will take care of) this ROM Rocks "Helmi and gang are amazing".

1. How do I get rid of the battery that shows where the time&date use to be and return the time and date?

2. so how do you relock the ext. rom? The reason for this (hopefully I won't need to do this if you can resolve this issue) is when I try to restore my Sprite backup it keeps trying to restore the Ext. ROM and stops because it runs out of memory, when I check the Ext. ROM I find Sprite files their which is what is taking up the extra space needed to restore other programs I have installed to the extended ROM.

3. I have been going through the pages, slowly but painfully seeing if the Kitchen has been released as yet (any guesstimation) on when this will be and will it be announced in a seperate thread or do we have to keep following this thread.

Try Hard reset..answer Y to all....the duplicates are from a NOT SO GOOD install...

When viewing a video fullscreen in Windows media player (also MobiTV) the screen doesn't goto landscape mode, so it makes viewing in fullscreen kinda point less. Using CorePlayer it shows just fine.
