I do have a question or two tho...

How hard would it be to add the Sprint Music store to the Sprint ROM? I don't mind installing a .cab myself I just can't seem to find it anywhere. VetVito, if you could point me in the right direction that would be awesome (or just build a custom ROM just for me and add it to it

One other question... is there a way to change the soft keys? I know on the stock ROM you can do this so I'm assuming it should be able to be done, I just can't find the menu option.

Also, is there a way to add the Task Manager to the top right of the today screen like the stock ROM has? I have Resco Explorer installed and that adds this option to the today screen. But I feel like the only reason I have Resco installed is for that feature. So if there is a way to add it (or add this to your next updated ROM) please let me know, then I can uninstall Resco and have an even cleaner ROM!

Thanks a lot for all your hard work, and your taste in "eye candy" is very good I love it!

I second this motion, really the only other thing that I need as it is a source of new free ringtones!

it shouldn't be hard to add to the rom, but Music store is Sprint feature. I will look for cab for you, but I know I have the required files.

You're looking for the softkey applet. its on this site, I use to include it in my roms, not anymore but I will start again.

The stock task manager won't do this, that's HTC Task Manager you want. Some prefer WkTask or something else.

Here is the CAB for the softkey applet...

I use spb pocket plus to close out programs. Since I use it for other stuff like the battery, memory, flash indicators it made sense to use it as a task manager. Works out well and doesn't use too much memory.

VetVito,

been running your Black Pill for about a week now. Probably the most stable I've used so far. It is fast, memory is great (typically 16 to 18 megs even using SPB Shell!), battery life is great ( go through the day and still have about 45 to 50 percent left using Direct Push) and it is fast going through the menus.

If there is one thing that I really like to show off it is the icons. I love the icons that you are using. Makes it feel truly custom. Way to go.

thanks for a great ROM. Keep up the awesome work.

^ Thanks

Vet,
Have you looked into those so-called memory tweaks in the REGedit? If they work, any way to include them in the updates so I don't have to do the tweaks each upgrade... would be nice and prolong the battery on your ROM's.

VetVito,
Will you be updating your ROM to the latest WM6.1 build anytime soon? (CE OS 5.2.19209 Build 19209, AKU 1.0.2)
I use your stock rom and think its great. Just curious if you plan on updating it to stay current with NO2CHEM..???

Thanks,
Bocks

Which Memory tweaks? I know the battery settings are already in.

Yelp, I have a build I'm testing now. Nothing really changed.

Good old Yahoo Cache:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
These numerous tweaks I posted over at Ppcgeeks and have found them to be almost essential for a great Moto Q experience.

You'll need the free PHM Registry Editor : Smartphone Edition to do this. This takes no more than 5 minutes.

*Remember to wait a couple of minutes before soft-reseting your device! Otherwise the changes won't take as they won't be saved to ROM.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Battery Life

A couple of us have tested this and found a nice increase in battery life. On my Treo 700 it seemed to do nothing but on the Q it greatly helped (I ran for 12 hours yesterday push email in a low signal environment and stayed at 4 bars battery--normally would have been at 2 or 3)
