ok thank you I'm downloading now and will play with it for a little bit and see what happens :)

plus one rep for darkness. good to see people helping each other out.

thanks bro. imma install this right now, and give the rep in a bit.

ok I downloaded that but it didn't fix anything for me...or maybe it's just cuz I don't know what I'm doing really.....so I did a hard reset. Now it all works again and I have only reinstalled rescoexplorer, the slider sounds, and the halo theme so far. Do you have any other suggestions of things I should download, that you KNOW don't cause problems? I'd like to disable the #777 thing so I don't get charged on my Sprint bill. And I'd also like to stop that text message sent notification and have the phone speed cranked up a bit. It tends to get kinda slow at times. I do appreciate all the help you've given me :)

Well now i know why my vibrate quit working. Now is there a reg hack that can get it working again without starting the led's?

Yes stroths cooked up a program called LED Killer

Edit to get rid of stupid question. I see now that it is a totally different hack, thanks for the quick reply Darkness.

Before you start tinkering with reg and installing/uninstalling programs, I recomend that you download SPB Backup. It creates a copy (snapshot) of your ppc, so you can always go back to it.
You should really check out the thread titled Cab Style regedits - get em here - requests welcomed. It has quite a few of the things that you are looking for.

Dude...you rock! Thank you so much for helping me out :) If I knew how to give you rep points I would lol

To be honest, I didn't know how to do it either. So I had to look it up. Here it is.

Reputation System
So I fixed my signature to include this info. Shameless self-promotion, I know. :D

Anyways here is some more of the info that you were looking for from the Reg tweaks [07/15/2007 rev.2]
-Speed up

Using a registry editor such as PHM RegEdit lookup and change the following three values:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\Cac heSize=0x1000(4096)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\Ena bleCache=0x1(1)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\f sreplxfilt\ReplStoreCacheSize=0x1000(4096)


Here are some of the must have programs
