thanks

Anyone else download and try the new manilla rom yet. If you need your city updated let me know. I noticed that the weather does update by itself, just not sure when it does it.

Hey Brack21, tried this ROM and overall I do like it. BUT, personally I wish the weather wasn't on the home screen, I never use this feature in any ROM, but that's me. Thus I would like the ROM with the weather gone if possible. Other than that it runs fast and has many great features!

+1 on that...

I am not into the whole weather on home screen thing either, because I find that AccuWeather is more PITA than it's worth. Firstly - small towns are not on there and secondly - it is simply not as accurate as Weather.com or MSN Weather IMO...

I am actually going to flash my other Vogue (that I just replaced the digitizer on) with your older version of ROM that has older Manila in it - Manila Lite... which I love!!

Appreciate your work though; home weather is not my thing but someone else might dig it!

Cool, I like the home weather, plus since it updates itself, I don't have to keep updating it. When a new system comes out I'll make a old and new manilla lite rom.

been running the rom all week so far pretty nifty. the weather thing is pretty decent. not to keen on the home page as i dont use it too much. the power issue i mentioned in my previous post plagues me. not sure why. this rom is the only one to show issue.
pros
the small icons
multiple keyboards to choose from
very responsive
stable
blue tooth works fine

cons
the power thing- just shuts off for no reason- not sure why
data runs a little slow versus previous roms
phone has a 5 second delay before the unit rings
GPS wont fix

over all i give 7 out of 10
thanks for the rom

I have been running it for a week now and the only problem I have is an occasional need to reset it. I have no ring delay, and my gps locks within 10sec. I use garmin on my sd card. I haven't gotten to test out the internet yet, so can't comment on that. I got a lot more stuff in the rom I'm using too. I added arkswitch, AEB buttons, the sprint mms fix, phoneex, spoontorch, swypekeyboard. My older manilla rom never gave me the reset problem, but I have the pp set to 0, and this one is set to 24. I may try to redo the pp and see if the problem still happens. I really like the weather on the front page. I also like the them too. It seems to all fit together nice. There are other themes out there you all can download and try out. I think I'm mostly happy that I got the weather to work, and have it all cooked it where you really don't need to install any cabs, just your local city. I'm still waiting on a new system to come out. I'm going thru flash and cooking withdrawals.
I also want to say thanks to those who have downloaded and tried out the roms. I originally planned to just make roms for myself, because I didn't think I'd be any good at cooking, but thanks to LMiller for his help and guidance, I built the confidence to go ahead and share the roms, so that people would have an option to try them and possible use them on a regular basis.

Well the day has come where I have to move on. I just purchased a Touch Pro 2, so I won't be making any more roms for the Vogue. I want to thank the vogue community for all your support and for your willingness to try my roms out. I really appreciated all the feedback from everyone. I thought the vogue was the only smartphone I could have on my current plan, but was informed that the Touch Pro 2 can be activated on my current plan. I guess it's the only newer phone that will activate on my plan, so I will be a Touch Pro 2 owner for a long time. Thanks again for all your support.

Welcome to the other side!
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Enjoy and happy flashing!

Just need your rom to flash to it, because I love your vogue roms.
