Two quick questions.

[spectheintro]

Sorry if these have been asked before, but I've been looking through most of the chefs' threads and can't seem to find anyone discussing this, so here goes.

1.) Have any chefs incorporated the updated HTC Manila files from the latest Sprint Touch Pro OEM ROM release? Has there been any discussion about whether or not this latest Manila update is better/worse than the Manila builds most chefs use? Can the two possibly be combined?

2.) Is there any work being done on porting the Manila 2.5/2.6 home screen photo-dial functionality? This is one of the things I miss most about my Treo: just having a simple, clean assortment of photos on my home screen that I could tap to initiate a call immediately. (I know Titanium has the favorite people app, but that still requires scrolling: ideally, I'd like my home screen to just be a clock, the day's calendar events, and then 5-10 pictures I can tap to initiate a call.)

Any responses would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
