Is there anything that can be done. I have battery pack pro, SPB pocket plus and magic button and I have had these problems with all these. I tried the 02Pluss this week, it worked well for 2 days than I lost my alarm sound I had to remove the program to get it back. Please help if you can.
This is definitely curious. I'm an avid user of PhoneAlarm Lite and I don't have any "update problem" each time I hit the power button. It just turns on and I'm ready to go...any idea which version you were running? They're up to 1.51 right now.

I'd steer away from Battery Pack Pro, SPB Pocket Plus, etc. or anything that accesses your SD card (e.g. for memory info). *That* will cause a delay if not more (it's been thought to a culprit of the Dark Screen of Death).

Keep your today screen to a minimum (which is not saying 'be skimpy', see my screen in the first post).

On average, what is your Progam Memory (not storage)? I go as low as 19mb and usually hang around 26mb.

Are you using the latest rom?

Have you done any hacks? I only recommend those found in Tweaks2k2 as they have been extensively tested on this device and WM5 and will not counteract each other...Also, SKTools has a nice feature to "Optimize" your system which made everything zippy (case in point: turn off menu animation...totally pointless and will cause slowdowns; adjust the glyph cache, font cache, etc.).

I did experience a slow down using Wisbar Advanced 2, but it was actually fairly managable and quite impressive from where it was 8 months ago. But I do like my phone fast so I don't use it.

Looking at my original post above I can definitely say that I experience NO slowdowns and my devices is very responsive. I'd have it no other way as I prefer speed, functionality and stability over fanciness and making it look pretty.

Heres mine

The picture is the sunset from my back yard. I am using a today theme that makes lots of changes to other pages in the phone. Check out the massaging page.

Malesta,

Does your today screen still look like that, or more so, are you still using all those programs that you talked about in the post.

Hey enroy,

Yeah, I'm still using most...but I'm a finiky user always trying new stuff!

I stopped using Card Export (didn't need it) and DevState (likewise).

I'm using True Toolbar now (puts 'running program' icons in the lower tray).

PQzII
--which is a complicated keyboard hack (it's the little white box after the battery/charger icon)

Here's what it looks like today...
