Colonel's Custom 3.3 Rom - Page 5

Alwaysbelieve1 · #41 (**permalink**) 01-27-2007, 01:37 AM

Personally in the next version I would like to see Onlock, TCMP, Flashlight, Live Search, definitely O2, the crossbow theme, and the task manager to be taken out.

I love Total Commander in this as well as CF 2 for sure as all the other tweaks. I just don't use those other apps and have seen many issues with O2 in the past as well as with your beta.

Thanx Colonel for all your hard work on this.

THis Sprint PST.exe thing is really messing up my Phone dialing options me think. So far 611, *228 numbers aren't working. It still dialed Sprint PCS even though I reflashed with Verizon ROM. Don't know which settings it changed that are displayed in the ##778 screen.

Can somebody post all the screenshots of the EPST from verizon? Please don't forget to blur out your phone number.

Thanks much.

Hot damn, Colonel--you rock! (and all those who came before to make this possible)

Can't wait to see where this goes... this might mean skipping the PPC-6800

Go to About in settings and your build should say 1567col3.3.0

colonel, thank you very much. I will be installing this rom sometime this weekend. I am very excited about the files that you loaded in the rom...i personally swear by o2 plus. Its 50x faster than phone alarm and much lighter, although not as pretty. But for the performace, i'll sacrifice the pretty phone alarm skins.

I'll post some feedback for fine tuning

Thanks again!

Some quick initial comments (you asked for opinions & preferences, so I'll include them). More testing tomorrow.

- CF 2 - WOW, neat. Works fine with Virtual Earth.
- Dialer just the way I like it

- I'd prefer to not have O2 and TCPMP (concerned about O2 using Today 'slots' even though not selected - had a problem in the past with WM5 and too many inactive plug-ins)
- I'd prefer to not have left soft-key mapped to Flashlight (trivial to change, no biggie)
- Not sure about putting beta SW (Live Search) in ROM

Having an issue with icons in the Start Menu. OnLock and Resco Explorer (installed to SD) both have the default 'DOS-like' icons in the Start Menu after having run. Can be selected from menu and run OK, but never get the non-default icons for either.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the input. Let me know if having O2 deactivated is causing problems. As far as I know, OnLock never actually had an icon. The Resco thing may be due to a SD card dismount. Keep an eye on it to see if you are loosing your SD card. Sprint, Verizon, or other?

That is correct (I am the author of OnLock). The new pro version does have Icons. I can rebuild the regular version with the new icons if it is wanted.

Here is the thread about it. The pro version is another screen lock written from the ground up be me, while the regular version invokes the built in lock.

colonel-

This is fantastic. Absolutely fantastic.

I hate providing suggestions since you are doing this for little to no compensation, but I am going to do so anyway since you are stated you are open to suggestions.

I would love if it were possible to go through and delete the programs that you have cooked directly into the ROM (i.e. O2Plus, TCPMP, etc.) Since I have a 2GB MiniSD card, having TCPMP on the ROM itself is kind of pointless for me. Also, I don't use O2Plus or Flashlight, so being able to delete these programs would be a space saver.

I'm sure we all have different opinions with what should be kept and what shouldn't. Thus, if we were able to PERSONALLY customize the customization, it would be incredible.

Again, thank you SOOOO much for what you've done, along with everyone else who has ported this ROM. Absolutely top notch hacking.

Everything looks great! thanks for the hard work. I cant seem to install the threaded app? Anyone else have this issue?

naigaboy · #50 (**permalink**) 01-27-2007, 12:36 PM

Nope threaded app works like a charm for me. tell exactly wat ur problem is and maybe i can help. also remember not to try to overwrite those 12 files, we now have AKU 3.3. For those of you that dont want stuff cooked into the rom, u might want to try extracting the nk.nbf file from it like colonel said in the first post of this thread. Sooner or later there should be bare roms and everybody will be happy.
