This is how to build a WM ROM!

Here is an odd request:

Can I somehow impliment iphone style SMSA bubbles. I tried everything I could find, no luck.

Anyone have an idea how to do it?

He meant something more along the lines of what NRG cooks into his ROMs for HD2 (and other devices) Which is "kimi sae ireba" sms bubbles - Unfortunately they are not for HTC Messaging client, and only work with the Microsoft one as far as I know.

I did a quick search since I like those bubbles too, but no luck... Anyone have any ideas on that?

On another note, I have to say that I was impressed as hell with 4.1 Core Cell EVO! Serious development time went into this, and it's plain to see why Sergio took a lot of time to get the details perfect. Now, we all know that no ROM is bug free, but with all the Bells & Whistles that Core Cell ROMs have, I must admit, I was NOT expecting this level of polish, especially on a brand spanking new build. I almost got caught out there with the customizer not fully downloading the initial packages, but I had

taken the time to read all the posts since the release

, and just waited for it to complete.

Maybe Sergio should put something on first page, letting folks know they should make sure they have a decent signal or Wifi running when they first run the customizer. I love the concept of new packages becoming available without a new flash, or even cabs/files to install. Nice idea.

I am getting some memory messages form Opera tonight, I will apply the fix that got posted for that.

Finally, I am wondering about screen sensitivity. It seems a bit low, and I have to tap items more than once to get a "select" - Reminds me of the T-Mobile Update last May to 2.13.531.1 that lowered screen sensitivity for all the noobs out there that were complaining it was too sensitive. I checked BsB tweaks and the mods to lower sensitivity and increase "tap time" are not enabled. Is there any tweaks we can do to bump UP the screen sensitivity? I know of a BUNCH from the fiasco after 2.13.531.1 but most of those didn't work that well, and chefs ended up going back to the drivers from 2.10.531.1 It's for those reasons that I am NOT about to play with it unless Sergio gives me some idea what changes or Reg Edits would be ok (If any) It's not THAT bad, but just bothersome, on an otherwise sweet ROM

Couple of things:

The latest Sense/Manila Package that was used has some changes to the "Sound & Display" dialog on the Sense "Settings" tab. Gone are the "Quiet ringer when I pick up the phone" (I really liked that, I am sure others did also) and "Pocket Mode" that increases ring volume when the Proximity Sensor has no light. This was also great, and I miss it.

Added

is a new item under G-Sensor: "Automatically Rotate Screen" which has questionable value since a lot of Leo screens don't work well when rotated. I have played with it a bit, and it appears to affect Opera and Internet Explorer. It does NOT effect Sense, by which I mean Music tab, Photo & Video Tab etc. Anyway, its a minor thing, but I sure miss those ringer settings

NOTE: I am finding the phone defaulting to using

cellular data

instead of

using WiFi

- I had the same issue with early HD2 ROMs from Energy, Kumars and one other (I forget) - What, if anything can I do about this? It is using T-Mobile data even when I am on Wifi, for facebook & Utoob uploads, and even the Core Theme Customize tool! This explains why the initial download for the tool took really long, I think (Like 10-15 minutes!)

Ideas? I need Wifi for large file activity - even CoPilot Maps appear to not use it...

Last thing (for now, hehe)

Can Sergio, or a member of the Core Cell Team, or someone take a look at extracting the new Amazon MP3 Application from the new T-Mobile Official ROM? The old AmazonMP3.cab thats been around forever never worked: meaning it searched, but would not authenticate an Amazon Account, so you couldn't "buy" songs with it, making it essentially useless. But the new one works splendidly - IO installed the Official TMOUS ROM 3.14 just to test this app, and I can say it works well. I tried copying everything over, but never could get it working on my current ROMs - it has parts in it labeled "Resco"??? and I ALMOST got it, but it fails on last step of authentication.

Who better to get this application, extract it, and get it working that the Core Cell Team? Heck, they should put it in this ROM exclusively for a little while to get the benefit of the hard work. Thats just another reason for folks to come on and flash this ROM...

What say you, Core Cell Team?

!!!!!LOVE THIS ROM!!!!
