This is the last piece before I uninstall SPB Mobile Shell and make the switch to UL!

You will probably have to create an icon that is in the .ico format. If you look around deviant art you will probably find one that is already created.

Anyone got ideas?

Just to be sure I did a hard reset and only loaded UL. Same result.

Running on an Apache with Helmi's WM6.0

Thanks

I get this same exact result on my Mogul.

P.S. Lots of threads on "freezing phones" most having to do with UL and no fixes other than "do a hard reset".. I know there have to be more solutions, because there are many people that use UL..

Its a matter of the UL ini file getting corrupted. Usually its a result of trying to do something to another today plugin within UL. It is definitely in your best interest to configure any plugins outside UL and then put them back. You can recover without a hard reset if you are quick and get to the uninstall program screen before the phone freezes or if you have SBPP or other program that has a safe mode you can uninstall/reinstall UL or replace the ini from backup if you backed it up. Its a pain but I have not had this happen to me since the first week I had UL installed and I tweak it all the time. Your best bet is to make sure you are messing with the today plugins outside of UL, have the ul ini backed up if something does happen.

Thanks, I tried without any plugins at all, only UL and without getting to configure it, on first boot, today screen already locked/frozen.

I found out it's a bug, and may have something to do with activesync auto running. After flashing to 6.1 rom everything works fine..

Yeah thats true anything like HTC home Cust has to be removed from UL all together. Even something as simple as changing the clock settings or icons will corrupt UL. I haven't found any other way than to remove the plugin and replace it once i soft reset.

I'm glad it working for you. The activesync thing is the same thing I had happen when i corrupted my ini at the beginning as activsync would show up on the screen and it would just freeze. I was trying to update SBP PP from within UL and I realized that that caused the corruption. The only other program that did it to me was when I tried to integrate HTC Home which caused the same problem for UL when I tried to do anything to HTC.

I am guessing that the UL ini file was already FUBAR when you removed all of the plugins which is probably why you still go the same result even after you deactivated them in the UL Config.

At any rate make sure and back up!

Enjoy.

Oddly enough I had it lock up on me with a screen saying that Active sync had sync'd. Which it hadn't. It locked up the device even after 4 soft resets. I had to remove the SD card with UL on it before my today screen would come back up.

Its the ini file. Since you had it on the SD card I guess you have another option. I would suggest you backing up your ini once you get it working how you like so if it happens again you can restore it without having to reconfigure anything.

Did not "remove" any plugins. I flashed a clean empty rom without plugins, no contacts, nothing, new from the factory, and installed UL. On first boot, without even ever getting into the phone, already Today screen locked.

No edits, no settings, no customizations, no nothing, brand spanking new.

Try it, flash to stock 6.0 rom and install UL. Let me know the result.
