Bunch of questions since updating to 6.5

Hey guys, I wanted to thank everyone for the help I've already received on my phones, I'm a fairly longtime lurker.

Regardless, I have several issues on my phone, starting with when I updated to WinMo 6.5 earlier today. I've searched around the forums, and haven't really found my issues discussed, but I may have parsed my searches wrong. I apologize if I'm touching on anything already covered, a link in the right direction would always be appreciated!

Also, Two things worth noting:
1. I'm running a stock ROM update from Sprint's website
2. On 6.1 a buddy of mine (SpecialAgentSicari) helped me configure the phone, as well as referring me here. I'd ask for his help, but he's out of town ATM.

Anyway, here we go:

First off, I can't seem to remap my buttons anymore. Initially, I had the "speakerphone mute" key bound to locking my phone, and the "mailbox" key acting as "CTRL". Now I can't seem to find any way to change the mappings at all, and it's a bummer. If there's a way to lock the phone automatically upon turning off the screen, that would work, but I still like having my CTRL key--I never use the MailBox, but I use CTRL a lot when writing/surfing/texting/etc. I may be wrong, but I thought that was part of WinMo, but it might be a CAB I need to download.

Also, I would like a way to get the program manager (top-right corner) back, I downloaded a CAB that kind of brought it back, but when I hit the "close" X on any programs, they are still running. I end up having to open the process explorer in the start menu to kill them. Is there a registry hack for X-to-close on 6.5? I'll admit that I'm pretty green when it comes to Windows Mobile, so I don't want to go exploring the registry without a roadmap.

I would also like to get into the original windows settings menu(which might actually solve the first two questions), but the only ones I see are the "streamlined" HTC/Sprint settings menus...Unless those ARE the windows 6.5 menus, which I doubt. I'm very used to the old menu system, and I had all my system sounds mapped(low-battery, new text message, etc), but now the only ones I can get to are the limited settings on the stock ROM.

And finally, I noticed the animated clock, and the animation-cycle it does whenever it comes back into system focus, already touched on elsewhere in the forums. As for me, I'd rather go back to a classic clock(if possible), or just some kind of replacement--I don't know why, but I find it aggravating. You'd think with all the work put into something like 6.5, they'd skip the whole idea of "re-animating it EVERY SINGLE TIME just to show off that it's animated" thing. Weird.

I DID manage to ditch Opera as the default browser, Thanks for that, and Microsoft My Phone saved my contacts and text messages--without outlook, I manually copied the PIM.Vol from my /windows directory, only to find out AFTER the format that something in the PIM's formatting changed between 6.1 and 6.5. trying to shoehorn it back in caused an infinite crash-loop. oops.


I'm not trying to sound ungrateful for the update, I really do like a lot of the changes...Okay, maybe not yet, but once I get used to them I probably will...

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give me.

--EDIT--
I found this post:

and discovered that the keyboard config WAS a CAB. sorry about that. Thanks STRRA. One less thing to bug me.

--EDIT AGAIN--
...Now I'm starting to feel dumb.
found THIS post:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...se#post1645507
and discovered that i just didn't look quite hard enough for that process manager. I found it. Thank you augozageek.

So now I guess my only complaint is the flipclock. You guys know how I could get around it?
