I think i will be trying this as my first flash .. Any help from newbies like myself please direct me

I found the Vogue Unlocker and I unlocked my phone
Hey I just downloaded this, reading the README and I really really appreciate this because there's directions easy to follow for us newtimers.

1 question.. do I need to remove my SD Card ?? I have a lot of my cabs saved there, ringtones, and stuff so just incase dont want the ROM update etc to erase it

Just FYI if you go into homecust and enable "show clock in title bar" and reboot and then disable "show clock in title bar" you get some messed up looking thing where the clock/date are in the title bar, so you have to swtich back to putting a check mark in the "show clock in title bar" box. The weird thing is, the "show clock in title bar" box was not checked to begin with. Now it must be checked on my device or i get a weird image where the clock should be.

Im also sometimes getting the old windows start menu when i press and hold the stylus on my today screen. Specifically when i do this over the clock/date in the title bar.

Thanks for all your hard work!

I installed my first ROM successfully. Followed and read carefully. This was so easy to do thanks god. But my screen is not aligned properly I tried aligning it myself but its not. You can see a little of the background because the start menu is a bit lower . Also what is the App3 button ? i cant seem to figure that one out to take a screen capture

ok, i figured out this problem. do not delete or change the registry settings for the date and time in the title bar. after doing that i had no sound for my text messages. why, have no idea. maybe it was just my phone, but i did 50 hard resets trying to figure out what application was doing it, and realized it was the registy settings.

also, if i wanted this ROM, but did not want a few things included could i just remove them before flashing? sorry REALLY new at this..
what i would remove is the NUe MMS, due to the Smms that is available now, which is AWESOME! sprint TV, HTC Home, HHC customizer windows live windows messanger,PIM backup, Yahoo GO.. HOW would i go about removing them?

also i keep getting pop ups abount stuff not being able to be run, clocknot, tsk schedule and someihtng else, but in bad reception areas, i will get literally hundredds of them and have to reset a few tiumes, any fix for that?

Thanks alot!

to take a scren capture, i just adjust the timer to 10 sec. then go into menu and hit timer and go to whatever you want to take a pic of and wait, it will do it....weird i know.

Thanks got it now

By the way after aligning the screen and soft-reset my screen is properly aligned.

They are stored in \My Documents\sshot000.bmp where 000 increments itself. I have mine set to 1 second delay and just minimize the app. That way you don't have to wait!

It seems like a waste of space. I feel like the space in the top right corner where the "x" button application used to be could be used much more efficiently since there is already a battery gauge at the top of the screen. Anyone else agree?

What other programs sit up in the top right hand corner of the screen? I dont really need the X button application there since i set a long press on the WM logo (start menu) to close all programs, which I really like. I just feel like there is no need for two battery apps (or a memory app). What other useful apps use the top right corner of the screen? And how would i get rid of the battery application in the top right corner if i wanted to replace it with something else? Thank you!

by default, QuickMenu puts a battery icon in the upper right corner. It can be easily disabled by going into quickmenu\option\view then unchecking "show battery on taskbar". Personally I leave it there but change it to percent only.

The only problem I had with the other ROMS were the occasional lock-ups, which I never have with v7... however-as suggestion/question to OMJ- have you started/thought about cooking a new ROM using the newest Sprint 19202 build that JD posted? Derek modified his old one to use this new build and it really improved his old version... It seems more stable and offers more available memory with a few upgraded features.... Looks like a new rom with this from OMJ would be awesome ! Well, keep us updated on the work you are doing.. Also, do you have any suggestions on a more user-friendly kitchen? I am just getting started into 'chef-work' and have looked at the kitchens in your upload folder but haven't had any real time to cook up anything yet. I have programming experience and will hopefully find some time to figure this out, but so far it still looks confusing... Anyways, congratulations on your v7 ROM, it has my vote for the best WM6.1 ROM out so far! +REP for OMJ

yeah, I'll look into that build. I have not been working on any new versions (I'm happy w/ v7). I haven't had time regardless....been extremely busy @ work/home.

until ppckitchen.org releases a gui version kitchen for the Touch, you have to build the hard way (not that hard really). When ppckitchen.org release the gui version for the Touch, it will be very easy to cook you own.

once programs are in the ROM, they cannot be removed....they can be disabled though.....you would have to cook your own ROM to suit your needs. See the link in my sig.

Thanks for the response

Am I missing something here. The ROM works grat. One issue I'm experiencing is with the Bluetooth. When I softreset the device, the BT get out of whack. Essentially it stops working. I have to go into the Comm Manager and disable it then reenable it to get it to work. Then it works flawlessly until the next softrest. Is there a fix for this? I'm sorry if this was mentioned in this thread already. I don't have time to read all of the posts.
