Please see gguruusa's post for an updated OEM.

Replace the XX with your state abbreviation.
This worked for me. I also had problems with the stock images not working.

:!: SMS Message Mixed into From field / various other SMS issues
Many SMS related issues are related to allowing the extrom carrier customizations to load. If using the kitchen please be sure to not allow this by resetting your phone during it's initial boot at the approximate juncture, or by clearing ones extrom.

Just to reiterate for anyone else reading, so there is no confusion--by checking the box for your carrier while building your ROM you have already included all of the "good" parts of the ExtROM contents into the ROM itself--you should therefore never allow the ExtROM to install on the first boot (do a soft reset at the "customize your device in 3 seconds" box). To save yourself that hassle in the future also include the "Unlock and Unhide ExtROM" OEM (it is selected by default). Then you can tap the "ExtROM Unlock" application in Start->Programs, navigate to "Extended_ROM2" using file explorer, and delete out all that crap. Once it's gone you won't ever have to worry about preventing it from installing.

:!: Can't Change Input Method

This can be partially addressed use the SIPChange OEM, which will let you set the input method to use after the next reset.

:!: MIssing files from OEM_Comm_Manager_Newest

The problem (reported by at least one person) is only noticable if you set the volume to "OFF" using some other means (volume meter or a profile app) and then try to go into Comm Manager, the volume button will be blank (in portrait view only).

Anyway, unzip the attached zip file into the OEM\OEM_Comm_Manager_Newest folder (I included an already-rebuilt DSM file to save you the trouble). Or, to fix the problem after you've built your ROM just take the four PNG files and copy them into the \Wndows folder on your device. Then soft reset to finish.

Also, these PNGs have already been compressed by Kolano (I pulled them from the 9-button comm manager in the last kitchen release) so they're extra small for you

:!: SPB Pocket Plus Themes Don't Work
The icons of SPB Pocket Plus should change when one of its EXT Themes is selected, but do not.

:!: Oversize text in Java apps

Is anyone else having the same issue? Is there any way to resolve this?

:!: Freezing Due to Resets in Cradle
If the phone is restarted while in it's cradle, or if restarted and then immediately placed in the cradle it will freeze during the second boot screen.

Does this occur on a stock phone?

:!: SPB Diary / TripYzee Conflict
There is a conflict between SPB Diary and Optional_TripYzee in that they both want to use \Windows\Skins to store their skins. This does not seem to effect TripYzee, but in SPB Diary "RedDice" shows up as a available, but unusable skin.

:!: Reminder notifications don't display if they wake up the phone
I'm seeing a problem where I can't get the "Reminder" notification to pop up. I see the bell in the top task bar, and "Reminder" appears in my bottom bar, but clicking "reminder"/using the softkey have no effect.

:!: HTC Home & Windows Live Conflict Causing Freezing

next hard reset:

-Enabled & configured WeatherPanel, WP-Pilot & HTC Home Plugins, soft reset, no problems.
-Setup Yahoo Go, soft reset, no problems.

I'm not gonna try to setup Live, as logical deduction would surely result in yet another hard reset & I ain't do that again today, lol.

So it looks like you are correct, there is some kinda of conflict between HTC Home & Windows Live. For now I will do w/o Live until there is a resolution.

:!: Diable Data Connect on Initial Boot
Even with the "NoData" OEM selected, if apps that utilize the data connection are selected as part of the ROM, they will connect. This may be undesirable if you do not have a data plan.

Please see this post for OEMs to address this.
