I believe he is talking here about the firware (Open Touch 3) in general.
To laurenk99: Please read the stickies, then the first few posts on how to flash, download from the link and install. All newbies start from there, then if you have a question, do a search, then another search, and only after 3 searches you can ask a question! Good luck. We all been there, done that, it is not too difficult. Thanks.

Try is...

/Start/Programs/TouchFlo/TFSettings

Choose View Mode: Top to Bottom
Click the ok button to save, do not reboot/soft reset yet.

No go to /Start/Programs/TouchFlo/Touchsettings

Click on the save button, since I've already preset the settings.

Now soft reset your device...

Once it comes back on, give it a second..

Then swipe your finger from the top Bar(in the midle of the top bar) to the bottom bar.

The first time the cube is activated it will react slow, once the names of the icons pop up you can swipe the screen and it will do the same for the other two screen. Once all screens have been activated it will move very fast.

Please give this a try and report back.

I tried Top-Bottom, Default 4.1, Center-Bottom, Bottom Only. They all worked ... BUT... Top-Bottom worked most of the time. Bottom does not. The other two are hit and missed. I usually get it after several wipe but dont' know which is the good wipe because the system takes about a second to activate it. I have small hand therefore must use two hand to do the Top-Bottom. Well, I don't use it that much because quick launch & picture dial came with HTC Home already. It is nice to know it is there. Thanks

Why is my battery draining really fast?

At about 10pm last night I had it at 100%, but when I woke up this morning about 7.30am, it was at 1%...matter of fact it was dead!

Are there functions I need to enable/disable to reduce battery drain.

Also, I have it overclocked to 247MHz right now.

Thanks in Advance

Random access, it should be included, and if your not able to get it working with the steps provide.. I will have to rethink another way of wording it.

As for MMS, I dont use it at all, but will try and find a fix for it..

Does anybody else have this issue with MMS?

im havings issues with MMS too.. the name doesnt really bug me.. u can just go into Menu > add Recipient > thats it..
the problem i have i can't receive MMS most of the time.. They send fine but i cant receive em most of the time.

hey there...newbie here using this great rom...thanks ttran for ur hard work that you put into making these roms for us...my question is...

is there a way to enable scrolling only for the touchflo cube....the cube is cool and all but it seems sluggish and i think it would look 'cleaner' and run smoother if it just scrolled...also is there a way to enable the cube from bottom to top instead of vice versa?...sorry if this is posted sumwhere else...i havent been able to find it if it has...

first of all compliments to ttran001 for this wonderful rom

But i have an issue with sms. When writing a new message the words wont appear on the screen :confused:..

or sometimes the words will appear than dissapear in the middle of me writing a message and the dictionary words also dont appear anymore :(

any ideals?

Hey ttran!

Glad to see that your back! Looking forward to the V4.0! some sneak peeks would be nice ;)

As far as problems go, For some reason my txt msg notifications dont work no more, it dont make noise nor vibrate when msg received. My ringtone always goes back to default "ring-WindowsMobile". I went into the settings to change it back, but never resolved anything.

hey cangri, curious if ur running biggy 3.0? i think maybe i notice biggy versions with this problem. i run slim 3.0 and do not run network wizard when i set up my freshly installed roms. instead i manually enter my proxy numbers. i do 5.99 hack only disadvantage i have found is htc weather will only update through wifi connection. my sms and mms seem to work pretty well though...

Ditto that :). I just installed 3.0 on my wing last night and it blows away that default crap that was on there. The funny thing is that I was unable to connect to my WiFi with the default rom but it connects great with ttrans's. Thanks for all your hard work!

Question: Once I totally customize all my extra cabs, favorites, import my contacts from the SIM, etc.. I will backup them up using the two utilities on the phone but will I be able to restore everything exactly the way it was on the new 4.0 when it's released or will I just have to reset it up again.It's no big deal I'm just curious.

Thanks

Going to a NEW ROM even if it is a newer version.... will make you to install all new....

Backups on PPC are not such good..... when you changed the rom...

and i think and feel the device is acting more stable when from time to time i make a hardreset and install only what i really need.

;) BTW - I´m really happy that people read, hard-spl and flash without yelling at others and also start helping after they themselfe got it working only a few hours before

thanks and welcome to flasher scene!

I don't have mms working with OpenTouch 3.0 ROM either. I changed the proxy to 216.155.165.50:8080 for http. Some how when I click on send/receive on the MMS inbox menu, it tries to connect to Tmobile MMS (only visible in the Select Network button under advance tab). When I try sending, it looks like it got sent, but not really sent... mms then appears in the SENT box. Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks.

This is a great ROM... love all the apps and the extra space. So much slicker than the overpriced iphone. Thanks ttran001 for all your hardwork!!!

Althought I miss the MYFAVs application that I used to change myfavs. But I guess you can have it all.

That's already included with the rom, but you can give it a try and see.
Please report back your findings.

Also,

This is getting really strange, some people are not having issue then some are. I don't know where to start. If I try to fix it and its already working then its a waste of time for me. I don't mind trying but I need to know how many people are having issues and how many are not. Maybe the ones that are not having issues can share what they did to get it to work.

I don't use SMS/MMS at all so I can not test it.

Please work with me folks, I will try my best to fix this issue with your help.

One more thing, I'm almost have enough money to buy another device for testing. That way I don't have to flash my only phone over and over..

Thats great news man. Hopefully, you got the money you needed to buy it from donations.

My mms is working. I think the fix I used was start-messaging, click on mms and un check retrieve messages immediately.

Some of it came from the wonderful donations but most of it came from me just saving..

I promised my wife I would not spend any more of our money on toys since we recently had a kid last year.

So I had to do some side web designing jobs, but almost there.

Thats why I'm pretty tired all the time, I work, do side jobs and help take care of the kid.

Thanks again to all the folks that have put in their time helping me with this rom and all of the wonderful donations..

I just tried sending an MMS msg with a photo taken in the lowest resolution on the phone to myself. It says it's sent but I didn't receive it. The MMS went into the Outbox and then into the Sent folder. When clicking on MMS inbox's send/receive menu , I get error synchronizing msg. Anyone else having this problem? or am I suppose to send the picture taken with the phone as SMS and not MMS? Thanks.

My config is as follows:

(taking advice from another user to uncheck the box that says send immediately in the arcsoft mms options screen.)

Here is what I observed.

Installed the v3.0 BIG and did not have mms working... similar to description above, after the message was created and sent.... it was re-routed to out Outbox Folder and NOT actually sent out.

Yesterday, I installed the slim version of v3.0 and mms seems to work "out of the box"
Properly routed to sent folder. Also confirmed with my friend, mms was delivered.

Have those of you that have MMS problems verified your Data connection settings are correct? Someone mentioned earlier that the setting had disappeared on one of the versions. Usually that's what I've seen on other ROMs when MMS didn't work.

The SIM hide option has been enable via the reg. Go go /Start/Programs/SIM Manager

There you can copy all of your contact back to the device.

This option was enable since a lot of folks like to sync their devices, this will help prevent double contacts on your system.

Here you go:

Disable Random Access and Enable Scrolling

With random access you must do the following to enable contact scrolling.

Click on the contacts button at the lower right hand side of the screen.
Click on the Menu button
Click on Options
Uncheck "Show alphabetical index
Click on the ok button to exit

Now I know the following will sound strange but it will enable scrolling in the contact menu.

Repeat the following steps again, and the random acess bar on the right handside will go away and scrolling will work again.

Click on the Menu button
Click on Options
Uncheck "Show alphabetical index
Click on the ok button to exit

If you want to enable random access, just go back and uncheck the "Show alphabetical index"

======================

How to turn off QuickMenu

/Start/QuickMenu/Exit

It will prompt you with "Exit QuickMenu?

Choose yes and it will not startup again even after a reboot.

This is also posted on the first page under the FAQ section.

Is this supposed to be scrolling ala I-phone scrolling? When I follow the steps, I can't make them scroll. I can only page up & page down, or choose from the alphabetical index @ the top. I really hate to be a bother to ya, but I don't necessarily want to install another scrolling contacts program if your ROM has it built in. Thanks for your prompt help, ttran.

Here is what I did to get the contact scrolling, however I'm using the slimeline though.

Contact > Menu > Option then uncheck and recheck on the box "Show alphabetical index". Click OK. Now the contact is scrolling.

Commanager and x-button fix

Ok so i've tried something that seemed to have fixed the commManger issue always popping up randomly, and before i noticed that when u hit the X button it doesnt close any programs, only minimizes them.

I installed the CommManager_8button_wizard.cab (thanks to theformula on post #250) and by tap and holding on the battery icon next to the battery meter in the batterystatus plugin (today screen) and then select "task manager" and then "close programs on [X]". This will close the programs when u hit "X" AND it will prevent commManager from random pop ups.


I was just wondering if anyone tried this fix? haven't got any responses, I'm curious to know if it worked for others.

Btw no need to use the new CommManager, just the BatteryStatus setting was sufficient for me.

I just tried this & it is not working. As I stated earlier, I don't see Random Access listed as an app on the Biggy version. Is it needed to make them scroll? Or should it be scrolling without Random Access? I really hate to be a pain about this so I hope I am not bothering you guys. I do truly appreciate the help!

Random access addes the alphabet tab to the right hand side of the contact screen, it does not enable scrolling.

Scrolling should work already.. I must have forgoten to add it to the list of included apps. Go to /Start/Accessories/Romsettings and Click on the box next to Contacts mode, if it's listed there then its installed.

It's not there. When I enable the search tab in that box (says default, search, PocketCM) it says "the file RandomAccess.exe cannot be found.......not trusted....." etc. Again, thanks for the help. If anyone with v3.0 Biggy has scrolling contacts, please clue me in.

Do you remember which day you downloaded the biggy rom?

I think one of the uploads I did does not come with random access.
If some one else can comfirm that their version does not have it as well, then I will reup another one this weekend if possible or monday.

Thats what I thought, but I went ahead and added the 8 button commmanager to v4.0..

Wtv floats ur boat Mr. Iron Chef! u cook, we feast! thats it, thats all. Hopefully the 8 button commmanager will be sufficient tho... When I installed the app, i still got it popping up. the BS setting seemed to really do the job for me.

maybe you have no "wifiinit.ink" in \windows\startup\

it must be there for initialising wifi on startup.

BUT if it is not there it will give you 1MB free RAM after softreset and you have to tap wifi twice....

Sorry if this question is N00bish but here goes...

I installed a couple of programs and somewhere along the lines my start menu reverted back to the stock style which is basically useless =)

I can still access the nice list view start menu when I press the windows key but if I tap the task bar start I get the crappy one.

Is there a reg key or cab I can use to set it back to only using the list view start menu that came with the rom?

Thanks for bearing with me =)

I believe that start clean simply erases the "recent" folder history on the start menu of the device when you restart it, hence the name start clean.

Disable Random Access and Enable Scrolling

With random access you must do the following to enable contact scrolling.

Click on the contacts button at the lower right hand side of the screen.
Click on the Menu button
Click on Options
Uncheck "Show alphabetical index
Click on the ok button to exit

Now I know the following will sound strange but it will enable scrolling in the contact menu.

Repeat the following steps again, and the random acess bar on the right handside will go away and scrolling will work again.

Click on the Menu button
Click on Options
Uncheck "Show alphabetical index
Click on the ok button to exit

If you want to enable random access, just go back and uncheck the "Show alphabetical index"
[/QUOTE]

I tried doing this. I did it the first time. Then I did it again. the second time i did it the box was already unchecked, so i clicked ok. it still doesn't show the scroller. i tried it all different ways.. going out of the contacts and then going back in. clicking then unclicking the alph index, nothing takes the letters on the right side away.. am i doing something wrong?

thanks,

Actually I had PI installed but didn't think about the today plugin ;)
Unfortunately it doesn't fit my needs:
It's a pretty stupid today plugin ;) which means that it just resizes to the amount of appointments leading to a scrollbar on you today screen when it gets to long. Thats something I loved about SPB Diary, the integrated scrollbar that appeard when you had too many appointments, but you never had a scrollbal of your today screen (you know what I mean?).

I found a nice program TodayAgenda (http://tiews.info/index.php?show=software%2Ftodayagenda) (website in german)...which let you customize pretty everything and if you set the height to 100pixel it will fit nicely beneath the HTC home AND it got integrated scrollbar and doesn't destroy the nice look of you today screen :)

This will help reduce FAQ from poping up...

The bluetooth speakerphone that was paired with the wing doesn't announce the caller's name anymore, it just rings. Does anyone know if there's a fix for it? thanks.

That's strange, I did not mess with the bluetooth options at all.

Might be something with WM6.1...

Does anybody else have this issue?

hey ttran you are the man. this is by far the best rom I have ever seen (biggie w/ live), everything works great.

I haven't figured out touchflo yet when I scroll down I only get a contact mngr type box. but I haven't read on it yet so I am sure ill figure it out.

any way to get activesync to only start when I connect usb? I am constantly closing it.

thx a million!

sorry I didn't type this up sooner, I've been sick and lying in my "deathbed" for the last couple days, but these are the problems i've been having:

1) when i'm in CommManager, the first time I click on the wifi to turn it on, it thinks like its turning on, but it doesn't turn it on. however, the second time I click on it, the wifi does turn on.


2) sometimes when I click on batterystatus on my today screen, it pulls up the CommManager, sometimes it opens the batterystatus screen so I can adjust things, and sometimes it just switches my phone between 247mhz and 286mhz. I never know which is going to happen, it just happens randomly.

3) When my screen rotates between portrait and landscape, the X button sometimes sticks and overlaps with the 3 lined drop menu, don't know what its called exactly, but they both use the upper right corner. the problem usually fixes itself if I select anything else, and its nothing major, but just letting you know.

Let me try to answer your questions. I'm using OT 3.0 lit.

1) This is done on purpose by ttran, first click will initialize wifi then later clicks switch the wifi states on/off. Since not everybody uses wifi, this can give the users maximum program memory on a fresh soft start.

2) You must be clicking different areas of battery status today plugin. To my experience, if you click the center it brings up comm manager, click the cpu speed it switches from stock speed to overclocked speed, click the remaining battery amount switches from bold font to regular font. You can experience this a little more.

3) not sure what is the problem, since I use touchpal almost exclusively and never had to rotate the screen.

Well,

Only two issues so far, that means I'm going to hold off on cooking another release...




At the risk of sounding boring, could I mention the Livesearch/memory card problem again?

- Biggy 3.0 with windows Live/IM - the option to store the cache on the memory card doesn't work (3 "none" values in the cache size list).
- Biggy 3.0 02062008 with Livesearch reinstalled - same issue.
- Slimline v3 (no cube) with Livesearch installed - working perfectly.

Something is up with the Biggy versions, but obviously it's not a showstopper as I'm using Slimeline now. :)

thanks,

Andrew

This might sound crazy...

My wife messed up my computer with all of my roms and packages for cooking.

I've lost most of my work... I've spent about a week now rebuilding the original rom for this version and the next release.

Main point, I hope to have this issue fixed for the next release but can not promise anything at this point.

The main issue I would like to fix now is the MMS/SMS issue since some folks are having issues.. But the strange thing is a lot of others are not..

You may be able to convince a cook not to remove it from their next release. Posting it would be against the rules (its a retail app if not included with the rom).

As for the voice command, I will most likely never include that app since it requires 4MB of space, I've gotten it down to 2.7MB but still too much space.

I think there is a cab file for it floating around, if not I will create one later on as time allows.

Two very little problesm I have:

1.) Sometimes the 3 bars which are shown instead of the OK button on the homescreen overlay with the OK button when I open a program, it's not a big issue but would be nice to be fixed ;)

2.) Maybe I am missing an option or the weather function from HTC home is quite stupid: It does not update the current displayed condition automatically only when updated manually. it doesn't even go to the next day, so basically it shows now the weather from Tuesday and Wednesday is still on the forecast list. Any fix for that?

Otherwise I am still very happy about the rom ;)

I personally rather have HTC home then the CUBE. But that seems like a pretty neat alternative. Possibly creating a cab file to make this option available to those who are interested? rather then u building a whole new ROM. save u some work ;)

Could you probably upload the video to youtube or any other online videoportal? It's a bit easier than downloading the video.

As for the new screen: I actually don't like it too much. It's too candy coloured. I liked the nice clean and sleek view of your rom (that's why I was so happy after finding todaygenda and could ajdust the colours of it and it didn't spoil the view).

As for the problem with the three bar and OK button, I will try to post a screenshot later...btw, which screen capture program do you use?

Okay thanks for the feed back, this batterstatus version will be included in the next rom since it does not that up that much more memory than the standard one without the theme.

hey ttran, I watched the video. it plays really fast though. so if you want to see something you have to pause and play frame by frame. but definitely beneficial.

I followed this one since the Biggy file only had that one .nbh file:
b. HardSPL

If the ROM comes with JUST an NBH file, then follow these directions. If the ROM comes with all the flasher files, just skip run the program.

Step 1. Download the RUU.

Step 2. UnZIP the file into a folder on your Desktop. Let's call it "MyFirstROM" for simplicity's sake.

Step 3. Download your NBH file and unZIP or unRAR it into the RUU folder.

Step 4. Run the RUU flasher. Follow the steps that pop up on the screen.

Taken from the FAQ:

II. How do I flash an NBH file?

a. USPL

Step 1. Download Herald-USPL-Beta3.

Step 2. UnZIP the file into a folder on your Desktop. Let's call it "MyFirstROM" for simplicity's sake. Notice that there is a folder called RUU within this folder now. Keep that in mind.

Step 3. Download your NBH file and unZIP or unRAR it into that RUU folder. Make sure that that NBH file ends up in the RUU folder, not within a folder inside the RUU folder.

Step 4. Place your phone into flightmode.

Step 5. Go back to the MyFirstROM folder and then run USPL.exe

Step 6. Follow the directions on the screen. EXACTLY.

* Your screen on your cell phone will go white around the 75% part of the "second step" now.
* ActiveSync will LOOSE its connection.

Step 7. One step 3 on that black window, the RUU flasher will pop up. Just follow the steps.

That's it. :-) Welcome to the flasher's world.

Here's the link for the flash center files. Please download this, and place the .nbh file in the RUU folder. Follow the rest of the instructions and it should work.

Do not worry about Hard SPL until you are an advanced user. You are getting into too many things at once and you will end up confusing yourself. Get the ROM flashed using the instructions from the guide, then start looking into Hard SPL and other things. Just forget that guy posted anything.

i thought i was having the same prooblem with my mms as everyone else, but i noticed something.

i was able to receive but not send mms messages... it was because i was trying to send them from the text/multimedia folder where it gives you the option to select sms or mms.

it wouldn't send from there so i went over to mms folder and it worked fine...:D

just my two cents, hope it helps someone.:cool:

so my luck only got worse

i found my contacts in the deleted items folder of my outlook.
so i created a new folder to put them in.
when i put them in the folder i got an error the folder already existed, so i changed the name.
i move the files over and BAM they are gone again. they aren't in the new folder or the old one.
so i guess i lost my contacts got some from sim but the rest...oh well.

does anyone know how to sync two phones on one computer without exchanging the information?:o

Ppl, you have got to learn how to create different profiles for your Outlook. Ask Outlook to prompt for a profile to be used.

Vista
Control Panel->Mail->Show Profiles
Add another profile
Click the "Prompt for a profile to be used" radio button

xp
don't remember off the top of my head but I'm sure it's something similar.

edit: please note that this is Outlook and not Outlook Express

I find the best solution is to have a different accounts for everyone. No configuration needed.

Do not worry about Hard SPL until you are an advanced user. You are getting into too many things at once and you will end up confusing yourself. Get the ROM flashed using the instructions from the guide, then start looking into Hard SPL and other things. Just forget that guy posted anything.

Ok I will try it when I get home. I just don't like having to spend up to 2 hours trying to get this to work.

Download and extract that.


Extract and put the .nbh file that you got from the first post and put it into the RUU folder. Connect phone using activesync. Run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe. Leave the phone alone until it boots up again with your new rom.

Taken from the FAQ:

II. How do I flash an NBH file?

a. USPL

Step 1. Download Herald-USPL-Beta3.

Step 2. UnZIP the file into a folder on your Desktop. Let's call it "MyFirstROM" for simplicity's sake. Notice that there is a folder called RUU within this folder now. Keep that in mind.

Step 3. Download your NBH file and unZIP or unRAR it into that RUU folder. Make sure that that NBH file ends up in the RUU folder, not within a folder inside the RUU folder.

Step 4. Place your phone into flightmode.

Step 5. Go back to the MyFirstROM folder and then run USPL.exe

Step 6. Follow the directions on the screen. EXACTLY.

* Your screen on your cell phone will go white around the 75% part of the "second step" now.
* ActiveSync will LOOSE its connection.

Step 7. One step 3 on that black window, the RUU flasher will pop up. Just follow the steps.

That's it. :-) Welcome to the flasher's world.

Here's the link for the flash center files. Please download this, and place the .nbh file in the RUU folder. Follow the rest of the instructions and it should work.

I have some simple questions that need answering. I just bought my TMobile Wing two weeks ago and I would like to add the new Open Touch to it. This is my problem...

There are too many threads that talk about installing different versions of ROM's and links that go to other previous threads, and threads which go back to other threads!! Way too confusing.

What are the simple foolproof procedures? I keep looking around for the answers, but I am getting nowhere fast. There are way too many threads that have my head spinning and I don't want to mess anything up.

Can someone please explain the process to me in 4 or 5 simple steps?!

I love this rom. If I had any extra money, you'd have it ttran. I just have two questions/issues. On the stock T-Mobile rom, I made frequent use of the tray icons Lock and Music to lock the PDA and turn on the today screen music plugin. I'd greatly appreciate it if somebody could tell me how to get those icons back.

The second issue is permanently turning on showing contacts from the SIM card - I don't store contacts on the phone AT ALL, so I need to be able to see them on the SIM. I'm having to re-enable it via registry every time I soft reset the device. Is there any way to make it stick permanently?

BTW, I'm using the ZCink edition if it matters, and am seriously considering flashing to the Biggy (w/Windows Live).

Thanks for all the hard work, and I can't wait to see how much closer to perfect you can get 4.0!


prelude91sit , you don't need to use the CPU scaler. Simply go into BatteryStatus options, clock the "omap" tab, and check the following options:
Overclock to Speed
Overclock on Wakeup
Overclock on Reboot

Then from the drop down next to "Overclock to Speed" choose the speed you want and hit "Set", you should then get a confirmation box saying something like "speed set to xxxMHZ". Also, go to the General tab and make sure you've got it set to display the CPU speed. Once you check those options, click OK to exit.

If your device won't stick at 273 no matter what, it's possible batterystatus has a built-in check to keep you from damaging the pda by automatically underclocking if you set it too high. Try setting it to a lower speed first, like 234 or 247.

Cleartype is turned on by default. Start|Settings|System|Screen|Clear Type and turn it off.

ClearType supposedly makes text easier to read on LCDs, but all it does to me is blur it.

After you slide out your keyboard, wait a few moment before you slide it back...
This happens to me at times when I slide out and back in too quickly.

It does solve the problem in terms of centering back the home screen, but creates a new one: when sliding the keyboard back in, the home screen readjusts vertically but a *scroll bar* temporarily appears, and when it disappears it leaves a cut-off that is clearly seen cutting off ~2mm of the screen (hence 1/2 of the "M" in AM is cut off when looking at the clock).

*Note*: This problem seems only to be occuring if you are sliding the keyboard back in when in the TODAY screen.
Solution: Slide the keyboard back in when NOT in the today screen. Example: You're viewing the calendar with the keyboard out (horizontal view) - you slide it back in, exit out of the calendar and the screen refreshes back to normal view.

yea i got the mms to work, i just dled the 2 cab files on page 68 i think.. or it might be 65? i know its in the 60's. and i also did the reg edit to up the mms size limit from the standard 300k to 1200k. its seems be working, although i do notice when recieving mms's they take along time to go through. example.. some 1 sends me an mms at 1pm; i get it at about 2pm. ive even had an intance where i sent a mms at like 3pm and it went through at like 4am in the morn..

as for the home screen getting cut off, i also notice that, but i just put the screen in sleep, and bak and it re-adjusts. what i also did was dl the cab file to make the soft key text on the lower part of the screen disappear so that there is more screen.

here is the zip file. just dl it, upzip and than copy the exe file to ur ppc. if u put it on ur device or storage.. u will have to activate it every time u soft reset.. but if u put it in the device/windows/startup it will do it automatically..


p.s for the above post about the touchflo button, its in the device/windows/biotouch.exe

i used the soft key app in

start/setting/personal/soft key app and i changed the right soft key to (Bio touch.exe)
so when u press the right soft key, the cube comes up.

i'm using 3.0 biggy with a 12mb pagepool. It actually works pretty quickly. There is definitely less memory, and it is certainly snappier. On a soft reset, there is more or less 21mb free RAM. It takes about .75 seconds to switch orientation to landscape, and .75 seconds back. I did install a couple programs, and i've replaced quickmenu with wktask. quickmenu DID seem to use less memory than wktask, but i prefer wktask (If anybody has information about the relative memory requirements of the two, i guess it would make sense) Anyway, my herald is set to 143-273 mhz with 287mhz boost.
