FAQ/Search no help

[Talon Pro]

Ok, gotta TP2 (wifes) now, and im having a REALLY hard time finding the info i need. Too much custom ROM bull crap and 6.5 this and 6.5/Sense that to weed through.

I need to know WHICH of the Tweak programs to use. Diamond and HD wont work for setting the soft keys, and reading through 51+ pages to find the info in the FAQ thread is impossible, needless to say, i wont do it either.

At least under the TP1 forums, that stuff was more organized, but i guess since hacking has been going on for the TP2 long before it ever came out, things have gotten WAAAAY out of hand. Out of all of the sub forums on this site, this is the most disorganized and sloppy of them all. There is NO policing of threads and it really reeks.

Also, ive seen reports of the Weather database editor 1.1 working, well when you scroll to the Weather tab, it just restarts TF3D.

How do you (can you) get the old style start menu back? What about the old style programs menu? This style sucks big time.

Again, this is for a BONE STOCK WM6.1/Manila 2.1 SPRINT phone.

Any answers for anything else will not be accepted.
