I just opened up Live Search and it worked fine for me. Not sure what the deal was when you tried to use it. Were there any specific errors? What was not working?

No specific errors. It just kept on showing those spinning arrows and never actually found anything or showed any maps. [It actually did have an error message the first time I tried it, but it just said to quit and restart. I did that with no better results and the same spinning stuff.]

Stop breaking the rom

PIE worked fine before and in 3.5.7 & 8. I kind of liked that it had PPCGeeks mobile page as the home/startup page. I left it that way. And it's working fine now. It just got stuck on "locating..." and wouldn't show anyting until I went into Favorites and opened up any page.

Sorry about breaking the ROM.
I still like it a lot.

I have, twice actually. I also get an error from activesync:

There is not enough free memory on your device to synchronize information. Close programs that are runningto free up memory, or restart the device.

I tried to sync after a sof reset so I know no other programs are running. any ideas?

Hi colonel,

First off - Sexiest Rom ever

Only problem I found so far is, sometime Calendar reminders keep ringing, but they dont show up on screen.. i donot get the reminder window @ bottom screen .. I think 'LOCK' program is blocking it?

So the calendar keeps on beeping.. no way to press Dimiss/Menu - I have to soft-reset PPC

Someone else mentioned this as well. It is strange, though, because it seems to work fine for me. However, I do not have a ton of appointments on a daily/weekly basis. I will do some more testing and see.

2barevo, I have not seen this before. For some reason, it is ringing a bell in my head, but I cannot remember anything specifically. What version of Activesync are you using? You might want to upgrade if you are not using the latest (4.5 I think). Also, you can go to Start\Settings\Connections\USB to PC and uncheck the box. Give that a try. Its not necessarily the fix for your problem, but you may just need to play around with it. You can also flash back to an Official rom and test there. Once it works there, go back to the custom rom.

Colonel,
I'm using your final for VZW and have a question...I don't know that this is in anyway related to your ROM, but I can't open any PowerPoint, Excel, or Word docs that are sent as email attachments. I get an 'A problem with the document was encountered and it cannot be opened' error. Any clues as to why this happening?

Really like the ROM!

Thanks,
Chris

Mainly the issue when Device in sstandy, it wakes up for Reminder, but then LOCK prog seems to block it.
