If you knew for sure you were going to be swapping the phone you could downgrade to .40 then load the official rom....of course there's a risk which ImCokeMan explains in his thread, but I have personally downgraded to .40 then flashed the 6.0 official rom , then back to 2.31 w/ 6.1 with no problems...just be aware of the possible problems.

I saw your thread dette, hopefully ImCokeMan will make a re-locker.

Ok well atleast I do have options... Hopefully ImCokeMan will make a re locker .. that would be really nice and handy Thats what I liked about the Mogul it was a lot less complicated for loading ROMs and there was a re locker which came in handy for me a couple times i needed the stock ROM

Just one HUGE THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am Bell user in Canada and I have followed all of the steps listed and everything is up and running. The only thing that I am confused about is the GPS settings as well. I know that the software is supposed to use COM4, but I do not know for sure if this needs to be set under External GPS or not. Theoretically, we are now using Internal GPS, but GPS Viewer only works for me if I have the software COM port under settings set at COM4. Last night I had a good solid lock on satelites and was able to use Google Maps and Live search with the GPS. GPS Today also locked on my location. Since then I have had no luck locking on satelites. It shows Satelites and activity and GPS found under GPS viewer, but no lock today. Most devices that have GPS internally, use AGPS to assist in getting a GPS lock. I was wondering if we are missing this feature, as we did not install the Sprint customizations. If we had a way to get a hold of a .cab file that installed AGPS, I think that it would improve our success in getting a lock. Also if I knew the ideal baudrate to set my GPS at, in Google maps you can manually set the GPS port and baudrate under `Options` If anyone has any advice please advise. I am not a GPS expert.

Even soft reset after. Still after that was complete i had just over 50% at around 11:30 AM. I can usually go 2 full days until this point (stock battery).

Yeah, I've noticed that my battery sucks. I'm running OMJs 3.03.04 custom on sprint. I do not use GPS today (never touched it, I believe it is not activated by default now), and I have my pagepool set to 24. I keep my screen brightness set to the second lowest brightness. Kept bluetooth off yesterday. I soft reset after using GPS just in case. I did not use GPS yesterday, unplugged 6:30 am, worked all day and barely talked on the phone (less than 5 min talk time), surfed the web for about 35 min, and my email autochecks once every hour. When I got home at 6pm, I was at about 25%. I did not use my vogue much stock (in fact, I flashed the night I got it) so I don't have much to compare it to, but this seems like really poor battery life for minimal use to me. For those of you that have used either the stock shipped rom for any length of time, or the new "official" release leaked rom, is the battery life significantly better?

And a question for OMJ, any clues as to what is causing the drain? Any settings that can be fiddled with?

Loving the speed and customizations, but being that I am on call overnight a few times a month, I need my phone to last AT LEAST 40 hrs with minimal to average use, which is not going to happen right now.

Other issue: If i go to Start Menu -> Today, nothing happens. Go through the Settings -> Today, it works. Wierd.

I also have a question regarding the HTC GPS Tool. Should the baud rate be set to 4800? Does this matter? Does this setting effect any other app that utilizes the GPS?

My battery seems to be good....@ 9pm last night I was @ 50%....I have 4 pop3 accounts that check every 30, and outlook push.....but I only dl headers. I charge every night, and have never seen 2 days on 1 charge on any rom.

Start menu -> Today is meant to show the desktop, not the today settings.

Thank You

1% battery status is just that, your battery status will show in 1% increments instead of 10%.

regedits include battery tweaks, internet tweaks, etc....too many to list.

Typically i map S2U2 to the "camera" button for a quick and easy lock of the device. If i press the button, nothing happens. Anyone else have this glitch?

I'll check detailed status of battery drain tomorrow. Gonna soft reset while on the charger tomorrow and see what i get. No GPS or nothing. Just regular phone, text, email usage. Ill check back in tomorrow afternoon / night.

I'm not following you 100%, I just checked buttons, remapped to camera album, and it worked just fine. If you are not seeing "button 1" & "button 1 (press & hold)" in the window, you may want to hard reset.

yeah, I'm no GPS expert either so I'm not sure.....I know you can change to com port....I've also heard (& tried myself) that you can remove the battery for 5 min, and it will help.

I don't know why everyone is so up-in-arms about re-locking your phone... I took my phone in several times with a Rev. A/GPS Custom ROM, way before anything official was announced... The guy at the counter isn't going to have a flippin' clue, unless you're running a total visual re-work of WinMo...

Touch Contacts browser

I had tried to flash one of the VX6900 I had received in the past, but it bricked, but one of the things I noticed was that the contacts browser was lacking the touch letter browser that is default on the VX6900 (instead of scrollbar has the whole alphabet)

Anway you can add that to the default verizon package OMJ ?

use HHC in the utilities folder, then go to the weather tab, and setup a custom city.

Mogul, eh? lol, you're in the wrong forum......but to answer your question, WM6.1 now has threaded text, I don't think there is anything you can do.....besides going back to WM6.0.
