Hi EgorLev, I never had this situation yet
, but can you please check other running app at that moment (may be Dotfred's Task Manager - Processes?).Cheers!!!
Actually I have a dozen of "standard apps", which I use on every ROM. And everything was OK so far

Hmm strange
I will see to repro this Thanks for your feedback EgorLev.Cheers!!!
Ohh. I never used that app in my ROMs. Can you please check all your apps running on my ROM before you install that action screen app?
Cheers!!!
So, I have uninstalled all software running in the background: Call In Touch Screen Tweak and Auto Light. And still, at the end of the day I’m running out of the memory, so my navigation program and camera didn’t start. In the Auto start folder I have HTCStartUp, PKG and poutlook. No other programs running in the background.
Strange
I never faced such issue... any how I am also looking at what could be the cause, if any in ROM Market Place has been removed from all editions of my ROM sometime ago. Any how it will be also unavailable soon my Microsoft as well starting May 9, 2012.hi there
i use standard edition but i can't find the marketplace icon...
You can check here.
You can grab that from here if you still like to use that.
You can also check other Tools/Utility/Cabs that you may need from Here.
Cheers!!!

Hi neverland13,
The lock screen on UX will not show that in Main Screen area, instead you can see those (Missed call or SMS alert etc) on top Bar even in Lock Screen.
PS: I have those enabled in Lock screen CPR, so that we can have better view in Main Screen Area, but unfortunately those are not working, not sure why

Thank you for the answer
Can you please tell me from where i can enable it on the lock screen CPR? I found in the xda that for some reason all roms cooked from COM3 23153 or 29xxx not showing those notifications.
On the top bar i have a few icons and miss calls/voicemail/sms is not showing
The only one way to see it is after unlocking the phone.
If you can suggest me something better i'll appreciate it.
10x in advance

All Icons should be displayed on Top Notification bar an I dont see any issue in that.
And YES, you are right abt the Builds... I can see those notifications on Lock Screen working on older builds/Stock builds. May be same events are not triggered on newer builds.
BTW the cpr file is: LS_LockScene_480x800.cpr which you can try to modify if you like
. It is a plain XML style design and easy.Cheers!!!

I noticed one may be "bug" - when you reboot your device and you do not have any voice mails you have notification New voicemail with count -1. You have to call yourself, leave a voicemail, check it and delete it and then the count is 0. Til next reboot.
Do you have the same?
Never experienced this. May be you can do a "clear storage" and see if all good?
Cheers!!!
I tried this - even i tried with different rom - with both 235xx and 29xxx i have this issue. I'm in usa with t-mobile if this helps.
Its not big deal - its just annoying. I can live with this
And something else - i have app AbsoluteCore TimeTools - with all your roms Options not working - New button menu and Options menu shows one and the same. The app is free and it is countdown/timer/etc.
Thank you again for all your work.

Reg the App. I will check that in my device to see.
Cheers!!!
Thank you! and maybe?
Hi Prabhat. First of all thanks for all your development and your time and energy... using your UX edition with satisfaction. Last days i have some free time and tried to use some WP7 (metro) schemes on topaz. Two of them looks nice but laggy. And here is my question. How hard will be to customize today (home) screen to metro look? I tried TodayXlive
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1087494
with no success. Anyway, it was fast as hell and looks nice. I can understand that with sense running the speed will be not same as with no sense.
Once more thank you

Acronyms
Extracted from WiKi for Easy Reference.
- CID Lock (aka vendor lock): put on your device by the manufacturer to prevent installation of a ROM not released by them.
- HardSPL: This modified bootloader allows a much safer flashing process to take place since it reduces the chance of permanently bricking your device. It also removes the need to CID Unlock the device since it ALWAYS reports SuperCID when flashing. See the official thread for more info.
- Hard Reset: Similar to a soft reset, by performing a hard reset you completely wipe your device and restore it to the position it was in when you first turned the device on after it was purchased or after a new ROM is flashed.
- Radio: The radio stack is responsible for the phone functionality of the device. This includes GPRS, GSM, UMTS, and GPS operations as well as camera functionality. The version you use depends on who your carrier is as users have reported versions working better on one carrier than the other. The wiki pages contain the latest versions available to download and install.
- ROM: The ROM holds the Operating system and other components such as the bluetooth and wifi stacks. The ROM is accompanied by the Radio, Ext_ROM, SPL and IPL. Carriers such as T-mobile or Vodaphone taylor the ROM to their specifications and version numbers do not carry the same meaning across different carriers. IF the carrier you use supports the device well they will usually release regular ROM updates.
- RUU - ROM Upgrade Utility: It’s the s/w used on your PC to do a ROM upgrade for your PPC;
- IPL - Initial Program Loader: It’s the bootloader for PPC. It boots up SPL;
- SPL - Secondary Program Loader: Loads the actual OS;
- SSPL: SSPL is a modified bootloader which is loaded into RAM when run, this allows us to overwrite any aspect of the ROM, Radio or Bootloader far easier than using mtty.
