- Fix all trueVGA graphical problems. Icons, screens, etc. I would like to run in trueVGA full time without having these types of issues.
- Unlock Extended ROM so people can put their own apps in for the next hard reset. ;-)
- Put the "Tray Display" utility into the ROM so people can show or hide their trays. File name "traydisplayinstall_196.CAB".
- Setup the "BlueTooth Tray Status & BT Audio Util" on the ROM. File name "btIO-0.5.CAB".
- Maybe the functionality to add/remove program icons from the tray without having to modify the registry? ;-)
- All black VGA theme. Similar to the default WM6 theme but all black. :-)
- If possible, maybe an updated version of Pirazu so we can control a mouse cursor with the joystick?
- Alternative to BlueMouse so we can use a BT mouse cursor on the device. BlueMouse is nice but it costs.

Yes...how did I forget this. For sure trying to tie the vueFlo into other apps and possibly games, etc.

For me, these first five would be a darn good start.
- With #1 - Usable dialer in TrueVGA would be #1 on my list.

Couple more (may already be fixed in WM6, but have yet to plunge):
- WiFi On/Off is flaky unless you actually go into the Comm Manager (e.g., PhoneAlarm and other programs are not effective)
- I still have problems doing multiple mappings to Win and OK buttons. AEBPlus does this kinda, but then other buttons get mucked up. Given few number of buttons, this is really limiting.

Wish list:
- USB-powered Beer Tap. I know the low-power port might be an issue, but I'm sure this should be doable. Integration with MS VC would also be great, "Computer, pour beer." (All I can say is, it's been a long day!)

Actually I should have just put mapping of the vueFlo API. That should open up the rest of the developers to building cool widgets also.

VueFlo for rotate screen like iPhone :)

widcomm bluetooth stack =) for dun

Damn guys...you're not asking for much are you...hehe. Actually I quite like the sound of the all Black VGA ROM with Touch like interface.:)

But hey, I'll settle for a an all black super reliable and damn fast ROM in vanilla favour.

You guys have made some great suggestions, that I can't argue with. All I can say..is I'd love a ROM that I can use my Spb Backup files with...without corrupting any software, so when you release version 0.1, 0.2 etc...it will still be compatible with my backup files, making the switching of ROM's a quick thing to do.

I hate my phone being out of action.:( and having to re-install everything again.

I third the black vga theme. Also in vga mode is it possible to make the start bar a little bigger so it is more finger friendly. Something the size of when it it is in qvga mode would be great. Also when you push the start bar and the drop down list pops up it would be great if that was larger with larger text. Also at least for me in vga mode in wm6 none of the 3g, signal strength icons show up in the start bar only the time does.

The only thing i'm against is the vueFlo. Except the part about using vueFlo to sense when to rotate the screen.

i think i can fix the larger text part...
here try this

WARNING...THIS IS NOT REVERSIBLE....NOT WITHOUT CHANGING SOME REG. ENTRIES... AT LEAST (and i don't know which one's need to change!!)

works well with se VGA too esp. if you have fading eyesight!!!

How about an icon on the task bar that rotates screen.

Also, when using the device in QVGA mode, smaller icons on today screen, start/program screen, start/setting screens.

When in VGA mode, but running a QVGA program , show a matching size bigger soft key buttons.

Show connection icons (H, 3G, G) correctly when in true vga mode.
