I've had some problems with ROMs not getting past the 'Calibration' screen at startup...I think I've isolated the problem to the cube.
every time I select the cube or Touchflo in the kitchen, I get this problem.
Everything else the same:
Cube = no worky
No Cube = worky
Anyone else having these problems?
Anyone find solution?
Thanks,
Matt
Bump.....no one has the solution?
I tried to use OEMizer's No Calibration options, but my phone still seemed to go thru calibration... hmmmmmmmm
I made OEM's of the Cube and Touchflo just fine and I dont have problems with the calibration screen at all.
I am going to cook a rom with out FtouchFlo or HTC cube and see. Maybe something with those programs when cooked via OEM.
I was experiencing problems, but I put my calibration information directly in a .rgu and I bypass the welcome altogether.
What i did was disabled the welcome message and skip all that calibration. once the phone booted and everything, the green window mobile will get stuck and start menu bar shows up, all you do is click Start and that'll go away.
The above only works if you use DCD kitchen, or if you use other kitchen search for welcome and delete the link and the welcome.exe.
vboy,
Disable Welcome? I didn't see that option in dcd 169? how would I do this?
does anybody know how to cook a cube that will work into a rom?
Update:

Scott's VZNav ROM 1.0 for the Verizon XV6850
I built this ROM from the eRice Kitchen and the VZW OEM pack I created. Its not totally clean nor is it a bloated either. I amoved away from the 100% stock look. THis is just a good mix of tools and sensor apps while retaining a fairly stock look. I changed the default today theme and the modified the Verizon TouchFlow 3D look. I removed the internet, music and photo's tab for memory and speed. They can be added back in by the included TF3D Config.

Basic Instructions
Instructions:
Before you flash you MUST be unlocked. I do not support the unlock process or the software but I can tell you if you follow the instructions at the link it works perfect!
Link to unlocker is here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42503
Download ROM and extract to desktop using WinRAR. Start the ROM Upgrade Utility and follow instructions. Flashes just like any other phone or ROM. Flashing will destroy ALL data on phone. Always sync with ActiveSync before starting the upgrade utility OR place your phone in bootloader mode (Power, VolDown, and reset)
A call to *228 or *22899 (automated activation line) WILL BE REQUIRED BEFORE NORMAL USAGE!

Some quick screenshots of apps and home screen.
Some quick screenshots of apps and home screen.
You will note I added all my extra apps in Sensor Apps and Utilities keeping the Programs folder a little cleaner. You can also see that I mapped Contacts (iContacts to be exact) to the left softkey when on the home page. Thats a must have for me becuase I dont use the contacts tab.
Flashed and running nicely, seems off the bat more the smoothest to date, haven't yet done much customization but from just walking through it, it seems to me that it is actually reclaiming ram from closed apps a bit better, but could just be that new rom feel Did you happen to add the htc update to this one by any chance or will i still need to install that?, all in all impressive as usual. Thanks for your hard work and mad kudo's.
Don't you sleep?
I will be trying the ROM either later today or tomorrow.
I look forward to reporting nothing but AWESOMEness back.
Awesome man, we all really appreciate your hard work. Havent tried out your new Rom yet, still pleased with your Rev 1 . Do look forward to the screenshots though, sounds tempting.
Nice rom! Thanks for supporting VZW TP!
can someone link me the stock vzw rom...not the prerelease that i found on ppcgeeks sticky page, i plan on exchanging vzw tp and receive a replacement due to hardware issue so would like official release. Thanks. I already searched as well...might have missed it tho.
I just put your rom on and love it! I have been installing everything you are putting out. My memory usage was exactly the same as yours. One issue I am trying to figure out is vznav is not working. It was working for me in your previous build but not this one. The error I am getting is that "there was a problem initializing the GPS. Please exit and restart vz navigator."
Any ideas? I set the location to on, I have checked my account and I have vz nav with verizon.
Thanks,
Mike
Very wierd, I just kept trying over and over and finally it started working. I did try starting it at least 10 times. Now it works. Wierd. oh well at least it works again.

That happens when you first instawll and launch it. Typical. Takes me three times and I am good ;c) Has done that on the stock ROM for me as well as my own cooked ROMS. After it initializes and sets itself up its good from then on.
Glad it's running though. Would sound stupid calling the VZNav ROM if VZ Nav didint work! hahahahaha

That is the stock ROM. I now it says pre-relewase but its the same verision that came on the phone. I looked at this very closely before I flashed for the first time. Trust me, you can use that to send the phone back. Many people already have.

It should be a little bit faster. Not a placebo affect if that is what you think. I added some of my tweaks and some tweaks from all over th enet. Nothing major... Just things like glyphe cache, services, etc. I also bumped up the touch sensitivity just a hair. That alone makes the phone feel 10 times faster. A little here and there is all it takes on this phone. Its has soo much potential.
Hey Scott,
Do you have something against the state of Washington?
j/k - FYI Weather tab Washington shows blank for all cities. Not that I live there,... but since it's usually raining in Seattle I like to have that city on there for the graphics of the windshield wiper.
Great ROM - not a huge fan of iContacts, but that's probably just because I haven't used it too much.
When I first powered up - it seemed very jittery and laggy,... but now - after I installed my core apps, it acts much better. I performed NO additional tweaks or anything - just rebooted after restoring all my data and logs.
Did notice that SMS sent notification is BACK,... I have to go find that registry edit and take that out again (very annoying). And Opera is not the default browser (I actually prefer that) but I didn't know if that was intentional or just happened? PIE seems to load so much faster when clicking a link in e-mail,... but Opera has all those neat features.
I like the new look with the new icons and the flip clock! Thanks for that!
Keep up the great work - truly do appreciate it!!
Thanks for that info Scrosler!

I hate the state of washington. No just kidding! I dont know why it did that. I used the same weather database I used in my last ROM. i will look at it tonight.
The reason it seems slow and laggy on first boot is because it is. I dont know if it was a good idea to have TouchFlow launch during first boot and autoinstall but i did.... Heheh... but like you said, after that it is fine. The lag isnt very bad as long as you wait for everything to load first. Thats my biggest challange. Getting the boot time down. Not sure how to make that great yet.....
The flip clock is indeed nice ;c)
Sorry you are not a big fan of iContact. I think I have tried every contact app and liked this one best. I will post the kitchen sometime this weekend and you can always cook one without it. I also need mod my site to include the link to the VC ROM. I will do that tonight. I know alot of peeps use VC but I hate it. Never ever recognizes my voice for anything at all. I dont get it.
Thanks for the feedback and I am glad you are enjoying it!

Cool, here is the cab that I OEM'ed. I dont know how I left that out... My bad!
I also included a cab for Start Clean. This erases your recently used programs from start menu everytime you boot. I love it. I hate the MRU set up.
Would someone with the new rom post some screenshots?

Sleep? WTF is that? No just kidding. I have two modes for ROM building.
Tinker mode which is at my leisure. Sleep normally and only work on the ROM at home. Then there is XDA mode where I litterally dont sleep for two or three days and just keep coooking all night long like a meth addict! Thats usually starts on Friday night and ends on SUnday night around 3:00am Monday morning! hahaha.
This weekend will be chill though. Just going to sit back and wait for comments to roll in to see how I did with this ROM and go from there.

Yeah, you may or may not like this ROM as I did detract from the stock look and feel just a little bit. But on the same note its the quickest Rom yet and has more available memory with no missing features.
I will try to get a couple screenshots up in a few. Sorta busy with crap at work today. Let me see if I have My Mobilier on this work machine. I forget....... Long night last night. hehehehe....
EDIT: Ok I got the home screen and App screen up. Let me know what else you may want to see before flashing....
Scott (scrosler) gave me permission to branch off development of his M2D Round 4 Reloaded ROM, since he'd officially abandoned his Titan development. He's having too much fun with his new Touch Pro ROM cooking.
STABLE BRANCH 1.3.4 [02/20/2009]
These first releases of what I'm calling Titan Reloaded is pretty similar to his loaded ROM and just includes some minor updates and tweaks, which are detailed on the download page here:
http://www.pdamag.com/roms/
Instructions and caveats here:
http://www.pdamag.com/rom-install-instructions/
Titan Reloaded 1.3.4 is out and contains tons of changes, check them out!
Thanks to xda-developers and members scrosler, dcd1182, and no2chem.
I'm starting this thread to support the users of this branch. Thank you for trying it.
FAQ
Q: When I switch to lanscape mode, or open the keyboard, why doesn't M2D switch to landscape?
A: Lanscape mode isn't supported in M2D, and I can't add it, since I didn't write it and don't have the source.
Q: Why doesn't the flash on the camera work?
A: The version 5 camera is installed by default as it seems to take better pictures, and it doesn't support flash. If you want the flash back, download the kitchen instead of the standard ROM and customize your ROM before flashing it with the version 4 camera. I challenge you to show me a picture that came out better with the puny "flash" on this camera, though.
Q: Why doesn't the "ok" hardware button open the start menu?
A: I haven't figured that out myself. It seems that M2D takes control of that hardware button and I can't fix it. Try using the start menu hardware button instead.
Q: I'm having a problem with the stable branch, how do I get help?
A: There are no known issues. First try doing a hard reset after flashing (hold both softkeys, the hardware buttons with dots on them in while pressing in the reset button with your stylus. Then press the hardware R and space keys when prompted.) Then try to reproduce your problem without installing any custom software in the kitchen or after flashing. If you can reproduce it, please provide the steps to reproduce in the forum and ask for assistance.

BETA BRANCH 1.4b2 [02/20/2009]
Also check out the 1.4 beta 2 which upgrades 2DManila (including footprints), HTC Album, and HTC Audio Manager from a new HTC release. Also included the previously missing Audio Booster. Upgraded Youtube with working finger scroll. Now using default theme, which can still be changed from M2DC. Also installed the Volume Control. The carrier cabs have been upgraded and are now installed under My Documents by default. No more app bundle installed. I haven't tested those apps with the new Manila. I also upgraded the sys files to new OS version.
Because it may not be obvious, to non-software developers. The beta ROM probably has bugs. I need feedback to fix them. Please don't run it if you don't find it fun beta testing. If you want stable, please go with 1.3.4 for now.
http://www.pdamag.com/downloads/TitanReloaded_1.4b2.rar
There are a lot of known issues with the beta at this time:
1. In call volume adjustment doesn't work (some report this works though?)
2. Custom cities in weather tab may not work?
3. If your phone gets stuck on vibrate, go into Start->Settings->Phone-> and Change to Ring.
Update 09/04/2012 - Kitchen is available for beta.
Thanks!
cant wait for the kitchen since i need SIP change and Data backup in my phone at all times. thanks for keeping this going for us xv6800 users

What are the two issues and quickfixes?
From bitserve's site:

Looks good. I'm looking forward to flashing this when I get home.
I just flashed it on my Mogul(useless Qwest phone) and I liked it, so I flashed it on my XV6800 and it's awesome. Keep up the good work.
Flashed it and it's working wonderfully.

Im not giving up my TP for anything ;c)
I just started looking again at the different ROM's out there since I had a few days to try and update things again on my phone.
I flashed this yesterday and have noticed a few things. I will list some of them.
The interface is very nice. The app shortcuts are easily added to the application page. Colors are customizable and are easily seen.
My phone seems to react very slowly to the bluetooth and the music app would not even open. Not sure why? There needs to be a regedit app installed. The quick access menu that I've been used to is gone, would be nice to see the Contacts and some of the others that are in the "start" menu that are used frequently still show up there. The used applications are cleared when the phone is shut off and restarted, so when you try to get to a previously used app, you need to go back through the menu selections to find it again. A GPS app would be nice as well. I couldn't get the Google Maps to find any satellites though. I know the phone with Verizon can be a little finicky for GPS at times. Although I did have it working a while back with a different install and was great.
The camera and photo viewer are SWEET. They work very well. I may have to try a different build and see how that works for the time being, but will be back when there are a few other mod's to this one. It looks very promising.
Also, my kids grabbed my phone and were disappointed that there weren't any games other than the default MS ones.
A couple more things I noticed, are that the battery indicator did have colors to it (very nice), although the number of bars didn't change and I ran it to nothing thinking I was also getting incredible battery life. Theclock seemed to lock up and not update.
I recently changed from a Hermes to the 6800 and have been looking for the perfect ROM (for me). I have to tell you I found it. This is the first ROM I have tried that everything works and is set up for my needs. Thank you & looking forward to your next update.
This is sweet..I have some questions
How do I get the OK button (side) working on the home page? Basically to open the start menu like in the OEM roms?
Also I have the callhistory.exe file how to I get the Voice button to open it?
Another thing is how to I make the scroll bar on the side wider?

The dialer display cuts off some numbers and the right hand scroll bar in the folders acts funny. also the Screen align does not work.

What you guys think?

Do you mean that your bluetooth was slower than with the stock ROM? The Audio Manager works fine for me from both the tab and from start->programs. What changes have you made, or third party apps have you installed?
There needs to be a regedit app installed.

Well, I'm not sure it needs to be in the ROM. However, as I get further away from scott's original ROM, I'll be installing some freeware apps that I use regularly that I consider must haves. One will have a registry editor.
The quick access menu that I've been used to is gone, would be nice to see the Contacts and some of the others that are in the "start" menu that are used frequently still show up there. The used applications are cleared when the phone is shut off and restarted, so when you try to get to a previously used app, you need to go back through the menu selections to find it again.

I doubt that I'll ever add quick menu to this ROM, but I'll start offering a kitchen soon. I actually like the startclean app. I don't turn my phone off very often. When I do, it's because I want to clear everything.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=251164
You can remove start clean from Windows\Start Up. You'll also be able to disable this in the kitchen.
A GPS app would be nice as well. I couldn't get the Google Maps to find any satellites though.

GoogleMaps is installed. I don't know of any other free ones that work better. Although maybe I'm unclear on what you mean GPS app? Make sure that you have GPS on under services under phone-> options. I usually am able to get a sattelite fine. What radio are you using?

I tested this by letting my battery running all the way down, before I released the ROM. I didn't have any problems. Also no problems with the clock. What changes have you made, or third party apps have you installed?

I just had to test and was surprised to find that worked from the today screen. My phone has a start button, which I always used for this. It looks like TouchFlo takes control of the OK button. Sorry. I'd recommend using the start button on your phone, if you have one. I'll fix it if I can.
Also I have the callhistory.exe file how to I get the Voice button to open it?

This worked on the stock ROM? From the today screen, this seems to open the voice memo recorder for me. You might try a hardware button configuration program.
Another thing is how to I make the scroll bar on the side wider?

I believe that scott made the scroll bar narrower, because this ROM was mostly supposed to be navigatable by finger. I would recommend using the scroll wheel or the dpad when possible. I actually prefer to have more screen than more scroll bar. However, here are the registry tweaks:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE]
"cyHScr"=dword:13
"cxVScr"=dword:13
"cyVScr"=dword:13
"cxHScr"=dword:13
You'll be able to disable the narrow scroll bar in the kitchen. You can also install a 12 pixel scroll bar from the included ROM pack, under Apps.

Well, in my version, the Task Manager is already installed in the ROM. I wouldn't recommend installing the cab for it. Truthfully, the only other cab that I've tested is the Opal Style Comm Manager, which works fine. I don't care for the other apps.
You should definitely install them one at a time. I'm not sure how to even install multiple cabs at one time. You likely only want to install one carrier cab, also. My screen align works fine.
Great work. Looking forward eagerly to the next release, and the kitchen.
I have a problem. When I set up my gmail on my phone it won't receive messages. It always worked on DCD and I don't understand why it would just up and quit working. I haven't tried any other emails though because they changed the system at work from groupwise to exchange and I don't know the new servers since I am on break til the 5th. Has anyone been able to set up email on their phones? I feel so disconnected.
When is the next update going to be released? It is after the holidays.
Happy New Year!
I'm getting the same issue as Elizle. Pocket Outlook is having trouble connecting with the incoming mail server. Connecting to Gmail IMAP using FlexMail seems to work, but I'm not accustomed to its interface. I miss the integration with M2D.

It's weird that you're both having problems with gmail. I guess I'll have to get a gmail account and see if I can figure out the problem. If anything, I would expect this ROM to work better, as I included "Windows Mobile 6.1 Hotfix for Sending POP and IMAP E-mail (KB958639)". I'll let you know what I find. Thanks for the feedback.
Just got an HD2, and after looking for a good task manager found this awesome app TaskFacade 4. Unfortunately the dev appears to have stopped development for it, and the HD2 is just too fast for the app. I was bored, so I decompiled it (it's .net so that's easy) and made some minor fixes.
Anyway, here's what I fixed:
4.02 fixed by aussiebum (thanks aussiebum! ):
1. Fixed names of shortcuts.
2. Changed default destination directory to install on a storage card when selected.
4.02 changelist:
1. Fixed a memory leak that occurred when an app was started and closed outside of Task Facade.
2. Cleaned up Layout config page.
3. Cleaned up config file loading to minimize potential errors due to old and incompatible config files.
4.01 changelist:
1. Increased maximum number of frames for zoom-unzoom animation.
2. Added an optional sleep between frames to smooth out animation and reduce amount of resources used by the app.
3. Fixed a minor race condition which sometimes caused an updated icon to flash through just reactivated app.
Attaching latest version. Works perfectly on my HD2. Check it out.
Attaching screenshots.

... Thanks!
Possible to get some screens.
I usually feel that task managers drain the battery a bit. How about this one?
Added screenshots. I just got this phone, so it's hard for me to judge its impact on the battery life. I will do some experiments.
Excellent try!!!
I used to use TaskFacade on my HD, but I always got the problem of gwes.exe growing larger and larger when usin TF, so I had to unistall it.
Can you manage to correct this problem?
Mr. spacepants, why don't you fix even "klaxon" , as the source is free, because gives problems with HD2.. to dismiss/snooze an alarm needs to unlock the phone first
have original taskfacade 4 on my hd2 it works fine except for the reasons you gave for making the new one.
tried it last night and it came up with something like the settings wouldnt load. i sot reset hoping thats all it needed but it still didnt work.
then my phone started having the led blink non stop.
so i uninstalled and put the original back on.
soft reset many times and tried tweaks to get the light off and eventually it stopped.
overall the program didnt work and no idea if led was unrelated

spacepants,
Your modification causes me the same problem.
Is it possible to make TaskFacade run as a service?

I just tried it today. After about 20 hours of running, with many task switches gwes.exe grew from 4.73 MB to 4.85 MB. And I am not sure if this was because of the TaskFacade - I didn't see any connection between its growth and app usage.
I am pretty sure I didn't fix this. Did you use version 4 when you saw this behavior? I guess it could also be thanks to a fix made in WinMo 6.5.

Huh, strange. I am not seeing this. Do you have any repro steps? Also what are you running it on - which WM version?

Crap, sorry for all the trouble. I don't see how the app could have made the LED blink - it has no code that would call that API. Are you sure it's related to TaskFacade?
I am fixing the dependence of the app on the config file. It sounds like the installer didn't work for you for some reason, since it should have replaced everything.
Thanks for giving it a shot.

Now, I'm on WM6.5.5 (23542 build), with sense 2.5.20121225.0.
Let's say that gwes.exe is consuming 38MB before I use TaskFacade.
Right after I run TF, it raises to about 42,7MB and it keeps raising when I use new programs. There is a point above that, I loose HTC menus and standard WM menus are displaying instead.
After a few time gwes.exe stabilizes it size to about 44-45MB.
I don't know if there use some kind os issues when using TF in Touch HD, because it has the same effect with different ROMs I tested.

I think I may have found the problem, but without a way to repro the bug I can't be sure I fixed it. Looks like gwes.exe can in some cases cache images that are in use, and if you do not explicitly dispose of them, the cache keeps growing.
I am not sure why I am not seeing this on my HD2. I have a Kaiser and a Touch Pro 2 lying around here - I will see if I can get a repro with them tomorrow, and test the potential fix.
Weird that your gwes.exe at the beginning is already 38 MB - I haven't seen mine go above 6 MB. It sounds like some other program on your phone may already have a problem.

It depends on which app you use to determine it: sktools separates process and heap (so the measure is lower) while, for example, memmaid keeps it together (and thus the measure is higher).
Anyway, to give an example, with Manila and iPhoneToday my gwes at startup is 13.6 mb with sktools and 42mb with memmaid
btw, i too (blackstone) have problems with TF as jolas: after a short while i lose manila menus AND TF, also if in foreground, is not visible (it's there, since if i blind click somewhere i go to a different task, but i cannot see anything)

Sorry, I was not very clear. When I said that my gwes.exe is 38MB, I mean at a random point (after a few hours of use), not after a soft reset.
As for the gwes.exe and caching images, I believe that you are right...
I hope you to find a solution, to make possible for me to use TF.
Thanks for your effords!!!

You are right! For my measure I use memmaid, after a soft reset gwes.exe is about 21MB...

Yes, this is exactly the problem I have, too.
Are there other HD users who face the same problem with TF, or we are the only 'lucky'?
yeah i have no idea how it would have done anything to the led but it definetly happened right after installing ?
il give the next cab a shot though and see if it installs properly

Strange, I still can't repro this. Tried it on a couple of Energy ROMs on my Touch Pro 2 (one based on 21898, the other on 23554) - nothing. At best I get a 50k growth in gwes.exe every time a program starts and closes. I am using Task Manager 3.1 for measurements BTW, but memmaid concurs.
OK, if this doesn't repro on my Kaiser I am going to write a quick test program and try running through the normal operations of the app several thousand times to see if that has any effect.
Could you confirm that the steps you are using to get into this state? Are they the following?
1. Start an app.
2. Minimize the app.
3. Open TaskFacade.
4. Switch to the app.
5. Close the app from TaskFacade.
6. Go to step 1.
Thanks again for trying this out, BTW.

I want to thank you for keep searching about the problem I face.
The steps I usually do are:
1. Start an app.
2. Minimize the app.
3. Open TaskFacade (I have assign it to a hardware key via AEButton Plus)
4. Switch to the app.
5. Close the app.
6. Go to step 1.
I am grateful for your work!
If you want, I could try your test versions to resolve the problem I face.
Thank you!
What button are you assigning taskfacade to and what app are you using to do it? I tried aebuttons and it fails to map the volume up and down on the T-Mobile US version of HD2...not sure about other keys.
Easily switch between Microsoft Today, HTC Sense\TouchFLO3D\TouchFLO, Spb Mobile Shell!!
I also wanted to be able to put links on the Spb Mobile Shell and HTC Sense Screens for easy running so I made seperate programs with icons for Microsoft Today, HTC Sense\TouchFLO3D\TouchFLO and Spb Mobile Shell so you can switch at the click of a button.
It should work regardless of which language Rom you use.
After install it will be in the Start Menu, Programs, Shell Sense Switcher Folder. The Htc Sense link should work for HTC Sense (newer Roms) or TouchFlo3D.
I hope a few people find it useful.
ChangeLog:
V2. Now has better icons and smaller file size.
V3. Added new Sense compatability and made installed file size smaller.
Mark.
Wow, thank you so much man.
Thank you so much
Can I make the home button switches between mobile shell and HTC sense?

If you want to map a Hardware button then you would have to use a program such as AE Button Plus.

Thanks Mark
I am responding here as this is the correct thread. I solved my problem by editing the scripts to reflect my spanish ROM and TouchFLO (2D), now everything is working well, i can switch between TouchFLO (2D), Titanium and SPB without problems. Had to change everywhere from "TouchFLO 3D" to "TouchFLO", and from "Windows Default" to "Predet. Windows".
Thank You

Thanks to Mskip for taking the time to make this possible.
@Claus: Could you please explain further. What you did is what i hope to accomplish: to run Titanum, M2D V2, and MS 3.5 all on the same phone. I get the impression it still won't be easy though.
Thanks in advance.

In fact i have all 3 on my phone, and switch them with this nice application, i have included a shortcut of the main script in each of the UI, on the programs tab or plugin.
I modified as i said each of the scripts, replacing everywhere TouchFLO 3D with TouchFLO, so it works for M2D. I also modified all scripts so that Titanium is enabled instead of disabled so it shows in the place of the Today screen.

I will add titanium into the next version and produce some different variations depending on what people have on their phone.

The only problem with this is that it might be language dependent, on WWE it is Windows Default, on spanish ROM's it is Predet. Windows...
That's a really good job mskip
See you
Thanks for sharing this app mskip.
Im not 100% sure but i suspect that running both SPB MS and Sense is eating my battery alot quicker.
Have you noticed this?

Switching to one Today Plugin will disable any other plugins as they cannot run together, so having both installed will not consume any more battery.
That said however Spb Mobile Shell is known to eat more battery. There could be other factors involved but its the price you have to pay to use the program. I dont really see any extra battery drain from running both so you could try using a Task Manager to close any programs that might be running in the background.
Mark.
Hi Mark,
Thanks for your reply,
I tested it over night and over a 6hr period, battery drain was approx 50%. With SENSE showing. Task manager showed my SEVEN push email app running, but this was the case before i put MS back onto the device.
I have just uninstalled MS and will see if i get longer than 6hrs from now for the remainder of the day.
I did notice though that after re-booting my HD2 that the MS would load then sometimes flick to SENSE on its own as part of the booting process, which is why i thought that they both run concurrently, just one set to the background (in standby or something like that)
I'll report back within 12hrs.
Again, thanks for making this cab, and this dilemma is not caused by your app.
Hi,
I conducted the same test overnight, and with SPB MobileShell 3.5 uninstalled my battery went from 100% to 90% over 8 hours.
Push email was still active
Your cab was still installed but obviously not used.
Im surprised that SPB S3.5 is suck a battery drain.

yess!
Just excellent!...As usual..
Thank you so much I am a big fan of SPB Mobile shell but lately I was thinking to use TouchFlo3D without uninstalling SPB mobile shell. This program is very useful for me.
Pointui 2.0 is also a Today plugin startup. Androkkid is not. I have both on my phone. Any chance of adding Pointui & maybe a blank option to allow manually starting UIs that aren't Today plugins?
I like the idea of this software - and have one request.
When I switch between HTC Sense and my Today Screen - what would be really really nice is if this thing remembered the today-plugin's I'd selected.
