[ROM|KITCHEN] 6.5.5 Drellisdee Whitestone RC1.6 23569 07/13/10

[dancerjef]

For all of you google voice fans, I just found onedialer at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512865

I could not get idialer to work on SYS 23557, but onedialer works. I have only spent a minute with it, but this helps with my deal breaker for 6.5.5 and google voice.

On several soft resets, ActiveSync opened when the phone restarted. Not sure why that would happen.

I used rom version of MyPhone. Had marketplace install windows live. Added xdashutdown and swype. Maybe swype (original version) but I don't think so.

AND I added CHT 1.7.1. Perhaps the cuplrit. I like CHT for the express reason I can show multiple calendar items on my home screen. Other than that I don't take much advantage of the many quick links etc.

I am doing a hard reset and will run this ROM without CHT to see if that is the issue.

I bet it's CHT. I just uninstalled Friday due to similar issues. Plus after using it for a week, I realized that it's almost overkill to have that much information on the home screen.

Please do report back, as I think I started having freezing issues after installing CHT 1.7 as well...

I can't speak to 1.7.1, but I'm running this ROM with CHT 1.7 w/o any problems at all.

UODATE: as I mentioned I did a hard reset and ran no CHT. Very very stable at first but by this a.m. I had to do 3 resets. One was with soft reset in Tools the other was a freeze and required battery pull. On both the Activesync app came up. One time Sense ultimately loaded. The second time Activesync interrupted Sense and it did not load.

I went into home screen settings and disabled it. Then reenabled and it loaded.

Not sure why I am having such instability at the moment. That is the best I can describe my sequence of events.


I think Live Mail jams it up somehow though.

try this, it will gives your standrad wm messaging a whole new look.


EDIT: FOR MORE SKINS GO HERE http://www.reinout.info/xda/

just downloaded and flashed 1.2b.

After running 1.1 for about 2 weeks, started having problems a few days ago, things slowing down, locking up, etc etc. Just this morning, I had to reboot the phone 3 times. Just not functional in that state.

givin 1.2b a run, see how things start looking, but already seeing some slowness on things like closing HTC messaging, closing ActiveSync, etc.

What do you guys think of the following images as a start for a decent set of toolbar icons for the Drellisdee ROM? I've been messing with this for a month and have grown to prefer the simplicity of the default grayscale/black&white look for things:



I'm still kicking this idea around and have no idea what to do about a lot of the standard icons (especially the battery icons), but I'm curious what people think of something simple and non-colorful like this. I'm thinking boring gray normally with dark green to indicate things like an active data connection or MMS downloads and other non-idle events? I dunno, just wasting time I guess. Want to contribute something here. edit: I think lightening them up more towards white would look better, there are really just me screwing around.

those are some really nice icons....i know you are going for the grayscale theme but you should think about making a color version also....just a thought tho

Looks nice! I'd use them.

I rescind my previous statement. I noticed today that I'm unable to pick-up calls. I removed CHT and my ability to answer the phone returned.
