Warning about Sprint 6.5 and .cabs
 

Just wanted to throw out this heads up to anyone running the Official Sprint 6.5 ROM. Be cautious about the .cabs you download as some of them don't work well with this ROM. Just had my phone get screwed up after installing a few cabs on it. i couldn't uninstall the cab because when I went to my settings tab the screen just stayed blank. I believe it was a cab that worked with the bar up top. either the battery % cab or the one that shows the icons of the programs that are currently running. Regardless of the cause, I had to do the "turn off the phone and then press talk-end-power then press vol up" crap to hard reset my phone. If any gurus out there read this, is there anyway to have a sticky thread that is only for cabs for the 6.5 ROM?

It is posted all over that stuff made prev to 2.5 does make nice and to not install it. Especially task bars. You just may have missed it.

there is truth to that op, i've been thru 7 hard resets so far. but what cabs are you downloading?

So for us out there that want to make the stock ROM more user friendly, what do we need to look for before installing a cab file?

from all my searches i used to do for taskbars & hd walls cabs & such the ppl who would post that it wouldnt work with 6.5 or vice versa with 6.1 are the ppl who have had me ever so cautious since my upgrade & actually the reason likely why im bawlz stock .... without that sticking in my thick skull id possibly have installed cabs like a nut

make sure whatever cabs you want are 6.5 and sense 2012.xxx compatible and you'll be alright. the same cabs i used to beautify my tp2 works on the hd2 also.

Ok, so I found out what did it. It was the cab

4ColumnsStart&AllPrograms_v1.1

That is making my settings tab blank. So now how do I remove a program if I can't see any of the icons on the settings tab? Man I suck at this.

Can you get in your start menu? You have a settings shotrcut in there as well that may get you in.

either way I go to to the settings tab the screen is blank (besides the bottom and top bars). AND once I try getting into the settings tab my home page goes blank as well (same thing as settings, bars at the top and bottom...see example photos). I can still receive texts and calls though.
