nothing hangs or stalls so its really smooth and extremely fast.

Which version are you using of his?

One question though, is it possible to have things like calendar etc call Pocket Informant rather than the built-in apps?

Bummer, performance wise it's still a problem for me, but on when I go back to the home page. Not sure why, have done hard reset so I can only assume the software is getting stuck on something. It can take up to 10 seconds to go back to the home screen - not good enough.

Does anyone also have any advise on integrating with apps other than the built-in ones?

Cheers,

Has anyone noticed a problem with the ringer not ringing? Im havbing a MAJOR problem to where my ringer always switches to this default ringtone and doesnt ring when a call comes in. I know it has to do with the sound profile of the apps I use. I use infiniti and set the profile to normal. Oh, and I am using the pro version.

i am using silence 6.1 rv 3.3

i am pretty sure that infinity has a bug in it, it doesn't represent vibrate as vibrate in the icon, it's being worked on. Also sometimes i get the feeling the sound is set right, but i have a feeling it's more the combination of the rom and infinity. So i am going to flash back to SR9 v1

i don't know what to tell you piniatta... what rom are you using? As far as i've seen we can't use standard home items in home2 which is a shame, i wish i could run spb suite in it for the call firewall...

maybe it's someting else you have running that's conflicting with something or taking up cpu time? maybe gps, weather or something else in the background?

the only thing i've seen that causes a delay is the wait to start home2 on boot which is like 0-15 seconds i think?

After using PointUI Pro for two weeks, I ended up going back to Merdin's awesome custom Rhodium TF3D2. I find that is every bit as fluid & fast as PointUI & has features I like that are not available in PUI (or the PUI version is not as sophisticated as Rhodium)

I will leave PointUI installed as it is always another option when I get bored (which happens quite a bit), but I think it is still pretty raw compared to a highly customized Rhodium setup.

Standard ROM, no background tasks that I've initiated...I guess it's just not for my machine, a bit strange given everyone else seems to be fine with it. Pity, I really liked it.

the newness factor rubs away pretty quickly...i was there at the very first stages all the way til now with pointui...its not bad...not bad at all, but i think touchflo is more intuitive. i use psyki's roms and they by far are the cream of the crop when it comes to custom roms.

Until you discover Merdin's awesome 6.5.......

I agree that after the novelty of PointUI wears off, Rhodium really kicks its butt (I felt the same way about MS 3.0 for a while)

MyStatus Collapsable is freakin great guys. Clock, Weather, and Appointments in one app. I still use a seperate weather for 5 day. MyStatus only gives you current temp, today/tomorrow hi/low temps.

you can very easily get away with just this one app.

A must have...check it out.
