I still have my E but I used Sprite Backup and that may have reinstalled the E for mine.

Is battery life really that much better? Can someone go about their daily routine and tell how much of a difference the battery life is?

Does anyone know of any programs that will add a password for calling people on my phone? I have called several people and left long messages of static and background noises from my pocket. I think most the time I throw my phone in my pocket and before it gets auto key lock it will start dialing or going through recent calls and then I will end up calling them. Any suggestions? I have tried different key locks but I don't really like them, a password to call would work better.

Thanks,
Steven

RC09 is out and both RC07 and 09 have some bugs. With RC07 it seems every time you make a call the app goes away but can't be started up again until you reboot. Now since I installed RC09 it doesn't go away after calls but I have had 3-4 phone lockups in the last two days, it might be my phone since it has been acting weird lately but I think it most likely was RC09.

Sorry guys my PC has npot been working for a few weeks but I finally took it apart and fixed it today. Give me a little while and I will update/help you guys.

Something like http://www.clickapps.com/moreinfo.htm?pid=...p;section=SMART ?

That isn't the same as a "Sent Message" popup. I don't see any options to turn that off but it is annoying.

Same thing happened again. This time from installing vtap. It is really annoying to hard reset every time this happens.

I think he means he just got the phone and has had it for 24 hours. But I have kept my Shadow on for 24 hours without charge, but it was getting low battery messages. (May have been a little bit less than 24 hours but very close, not 100% sure)

All of a sudden XT9 disapeared and ABC mode is there in stead for all apps installed on my phone but not regular txt messages. I scroll through modes and XT9 is not there. The only thing I did since I last used XT9 was power off the phone and I haven't sync'ed it or anything.

I did install the trial of Opera Mobile Yesterday morning but since then I have had no problems and had powered off the phone serveral times.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Steven

It's the same as any other phone. Hold # and it will go to vibrate.

Easiest program to use is http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/ and its free! You edit it strait from your PC while you are synced.

Yeah I have one already made up but I will have to wait until tonight or tomorrow to post it as I am away from home.

Hard Reset my phone last night so I decided to try this again and it did work for me the second time.

Thanks

Works for me on Vista.

Updated version with icons, smoother backgrounds and more!

go to:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome
inside got CMyFaves- find value Disable Change from 0 to 1

Next:
in same place HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome
go to CHome inside is value Disable page change value from 1 to 0

Last:
in same place HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome
got CClock change value disable from 1 to 0
and value disable page from 1 to 0

Soft reset.

From my experience any changes in the phone's registry that the phone doesn't exactly like (for example a changed setting that the phone won't accept) forces the phone to never turn off the screen. I have seen this happen several times and maybe some installations have a bad registry entry or something.

Fixing the registry changes have always solved the problem for me.

That seems to make my screen never turn off. Maybe more than one thing needs to be changed for it to work?

[attachment=23021:Blue_Neo...me_Theme.CAB] I have been trying to figure out CABs for a while and found a few programs today. I made this CAB with a Pocket PC CAB creator so it throws a warning during install but it still works fine.

Theme created by hamsuplo , .CAB by me.

This theme is not yet completed but I figured I would post it since it covers the home screen and looks great!

I will be adding in the iCandy Icons and the other menu/start colors.

All you have to do is install the CAB and then select "Blue" under Start >> Settings >> Home Screen >> Color Scheme.

Preview: (Icons coming soon) (Previews updated and added below.)


Enjoy!

EDIT: New version has been uploaded with icon chamges, new backgrounds and also Stary menu color changes!!

I have been messing around with .CABs, would you mind if I put your theme into a CAB? I did it for myself, Icons and all, but its not quite finished. All credit goes to you for the theme of course.

I found a nice CAB creator though it is only a free trial but I am thinking about buying it.

Edit: Just realized its $99, I think I will use my last 18 trys (it gives you 20 total) VERY wisely.

Yeah, I just made a CAB to install those files and it looks good but there is still some traces of the old color scheme.

Any chance on getting the rest of the files. (besides the icons)

Is there any way to easily edit the CAB so I can create my own themes?

I have tried everything I can think of and I still can't figure out how to overwrite the homescreen PNGs in the /Windows/ folder. I saw that many others are having the same issue.

Turning off Read Only does nothing but revert right back to Read Only and you can't rename or move the PNGs.

I have tried changing the Home Screen display then restarting the phone so it did not use any of the files I would be replacing and I still had no luck.

My phone is App unlocked also.

If anyone can give any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Steven P
