My VZW Diamond has 6.1 and the gps works fine with the VZW radio

So far, so good. Everything appears to be working fine. Thank you!

Still no luck with being able to use UC though.

Drellisdee, I agree that RC1 is your best work yet. I even think the default theme you've chosen is very "HTC" and very "Imagio"

So far everything went perfectly when flashing and configuring my WinMo/SenseUI settings (which I have finally documented for myself so I can stop forgetting the little things - lol)

I have a couple questions/comments about the new theme, if you'll endulge me:

- The green used for items like drop-down lists and progress bars is pretty intense. I would suggest something slightly darker, more along the lines of the green highlights in SenseUI. Personal preference

- If I want to turn off the default theme, how does one do that? It seems that you have to pick something in the list. I've avoided changing the theme on 6.5.x all this time since I worry it will mess something up and I won't be able to get it back the way it was.

- I'm probably just blind, but I cannot find the background/wallpaper file being used by the new theme to set it for SenseUI. I might suggest setting this background as the SenseUI wallpaper by default if you do keep this default theme in the final build. I think it would be a nice touch.

The theme actually fits so well with the default UI elements, that I'm tempted not to even bother installing the slider and custom taskbar I've been working on, or at least de-color it so all the icons are nicer but still grayscaled to match the theme (maybe a little green?). You've made black and white actually look nice -- props!!

I'm totally sending another donation your way, I'm underwhelmed with the number of folks that have donated to ya for all this work!

Not sure why but RC1 is running very sluggish for me. I can't figure out how to disable the weather animations on the home screen. I also keep getting lock-ups when I go into my contacts. The camera program stalls out when loading.
I really dig the interface and it would be perfection if not for the sluggishness. Any ideas? I want to test it for at least a day, but given this sluggishness not sure how fun my workday tomorrow will be.

Must be something wrong with something on your phone . I just tried my camera and contacts and everything is as fast and smooth as it could be. No lag what so ever.

Not sure what it could be. Never had any kind of sluggish problems prior.
I'm also having something weird going on with the clock. It's constantly playing catch up. It's almost like the phone is awaking all the time when ever you push a button or menu option. It flips forward to the current time.

Right now it's locked up on the slide to unlock screen.

Try a hard reset. Hopefully you don't have much installed or haven't put much work into it yet, but I find that after a flash of ANY rom, a hard reset fixes any quirks that linger following the flash.

Hard reset?
I always thought a hard reset was a new flash basically and a soft reset was pulling the battery out.
How to do a hard reset?

FYI to anyone making taskbar mods for this ROM, the SYS 23554 MessagingRes.dll is different than the one in 23459 and 23551 by a few bytes. I found no other differences in the modules I've been changing thus far, but it's always a good idea to check so you don't break anything

The clock flipping is a part of Sense 2.5 . There is a .cab called Manila Disable clock flipping WVGA 2.5 that will stop the flipping. I forget where I found it , XDA probably, just google the title and it will show up.
