Hi guys

What are you using for backing up SMS-messages, contacts and stuff?

I've tried SPB backup and PIM backup but those doesn't seem to work correctly under Sense.

Thx!

Edit. After some research on my own post there seems to be no way to backup MMS. The above mentioned programs work great for every other task, but images in MMS ends up as blanks. Saving each image to SD-card is the bare half-way solution :)

@ crnogorac081, @gloomyeve,
Pls try the following trick:
- Insert your sim card.
- hardreset the device: (turn off, press volup+voldown and hit the power button.
- the device will start run the customization and then restart.
- when the device restart, just hit a few time the top left corner of the screen, until you see the dropdown icon menu to appear. Also hit the topbar to get the HTC notification black screen. You can also hit the send button to insert the pin.

After that the device should start without problems.

Pls revert with your feedback.

freeze on lock scren

Hi.
to strat,... great rom, one of the best roms (if not the best), congratulations.
as a new rom, there is small problems (bugs), that we , like users,try to tell you in order to improve your great work.
so, i installed the rom and i used since 06 aug.
there is the "bugs" that i found:
- freeze on lock screen ( sometimes, if the phone are on lock screen and someone call you, before apear the name of the caller the phone totaly freeze, not all the time. I fix this removing the batt and rebbot the phone

- when you lost a call and you disable the lockscreen to see who call you, sometimes dont appear the icon on top bar with the icon of lost call, you only see if you go to call history. After you block again the phone with lockscrenn buttom, the information icons (about lost calls, emails and messages, dont desapear and freeze the phone, once again.

i appreciate if you fix this.
great job
cheers

I'd say it's more about the ROM rather then radio and ril. I had a standby for more then a week with another Rom. This Rom gives me a day or two at max. That with exact same radio and ril, 1.14.

Edit. Have now installed radio1.17 and ril 1.15. Let's see how that goes :p

Cheers man!

Hi Guys,
Sorry for late reply, I've took some holidays, but back home next week.

@numisikea:
Are you using pin lock?
I'm working on changing the lockscreen. the oboe lockscreen doesn't work accurate on the resistive screens (like our blackstone). I'll post update when back home.

@GottesHand @Peteflyman,
The best radio for this ROM is the 1.17.
