Bugs:
Comm Manager Skin is messed. Install This - CommManager Fix

HTC Calculator link on the start menu doesnt work ( found a fix )

Solution:
htcCalculator was already installed, the issue was only that the link on the start menu was not connected to the actual program. So you just go to Device/Windows and scroll until you see htcCalculator in there. After that hold down on it and copy. Navigate to Device/Windows/Start Menu/Programs and delete the HTC Calculator shortcut that is already there. Then just paste shortcut and if you want you can rename the shortcut to HTC Calculator instead of htcCalculator.

Windows Media Player link on start menu doesnt work ( found a fix )

Solution:
The same procedure as 1 except the file you are looking for in Device/Windows is wmplayer and you can delete Windows Media shortcut from Device/Windows/Start Menu/Programs and then paste this one and rename it to Windows Media.

If Opera 9.5 Beta is closed using the x button in the upper right instead of using Menu > exit > ok the widgets menu comes up and you cant reopen Opera without either a soft reset or using a dask manager to end the opera9.exe process.

Solution:
The only fix for this is using the Menu > Exit > ok instead of the x there isnt a fix that i have found other than that.

The default lock option is not 6.5 default; it is the old device lock from 6.1 ( found the fix.. this may have been outlined somewhere and I overlooked it )

Solution:
If you go to Start > Settings > Lock > Display Tab > change to windows default instead of windows classic and it will be the 6.5 lock press ok and you'll be all set.

I won't be held responsible for anything you do to your phone!!!!!!!!!

Hard reset, no battery pull though!!

[smw]

No luck reflash but naked if I let it run in the background it will open but if I stop it from running it will go to widgets but not to internet. This was with a fresh dl so I dont know what gives the whole hard reset take battery out....hmmm. Damn

Edit: I always pull out........the battery.
Thanks

ok after messin with it a bit more i found that if you are in opera and you press the menu button ( bottom right ) then press exit, don't press the x button in the top right cause then the widgets thing comes up and thats what screws with it. I dont know why this is, very annoying, maybe we'll get a different version of opera in next release...hope this helps ya

[smw]

Yes annoying and hard for me to break a habit as far as the way I exit programs, also to do it for just opera is weird. I like this rom and everything it offers but I goota use the net haha. Ive flashed to silence rom x 6.5 which is not far off from the star rom the only thing is touch flo as I liked the fast it wasnt on the star rom. Bottom line is everything works the way that Im used to working them and Im liking it. I will be watching for an update for this rom and Ill try it again.

Thanks

Just my $.02, did you flash back to a stock rom and open the data connection to make sure it works before you flashed to this rom?

well his internet does work... its just that once he closes it he cant open opera again without soft resetting.

[jmobilefall06]

well after a day of testing i am impressed ..the gps is running very smooth with this rom only problems i have noticed is with the alltels arcsoft cab seems not to be downloading the picture it recieves them but doesnt download the actual image. also the slider in the slide to answer is not showing up, although this could possibly be fixed in a hard rest wich i didnt do after i flashed. NOTHER THING the quick gps icons arent working but its really not a big deal because my gps is still running smooth over all pretty good rom def worth a try

[VenumX]

Posted this over at ppcgeeks for starmans so he knows whats goin on, ill add it to the first post as well...its the fixes for all the glitches i have found

If you want me to post the fix we found i can do that later...

1. HTC Calculator link on the start menu doesnt work ( found a fix )
2. Windows Media Player link on start menu doesnt work ( found a fix )

4. The default lock option is not 6.5 default; it is the old device lock from 6.1 ( found the fix.. this may have been outlined somewhere and I overlooked it )

That being said, I am sticking with this rom because i really think it is the best out there right now for stability, battery life and speed. It really works great and I applaud starmans for his great work.

1. htcCalculator was already installed, the issue was only that the link on the start menu was not connected to the actual program.

Hope this helps anyone with issues.

do a search for sprint arcsoft mms* which is way better than sprints picture mail...i believe taylor has the cab in his tweaks/hacks thread but don't quote me on that

[smw]

Back on star rom at the moment.

[DJCaSpER]

so im guessing all the lil kinks are worked out now sense the last time i was here asking about the new rom? other then the picture mail, witch u have stated a fix for that. well shownuf and dash i would like to here back from yall on this.

ps. sense this thred started it has came along way with the starrom's. i still remember posting comments on the first page of this thread lol.

[smw]

Off charge at 8am back on charge for maybe 20 min then of to see korn its now a little after 12am and Im on 20%. I took pics a little video finally sent some pics * and used the phone normally during the day, so awesome battery life. I ended up using ie for my default browser, I signed into my windows live account and it created a new tab that I can launch the internet from it.

*I couldnt take a pic and send it, it would say it was to large and ask it youd like to resize it hit yes. I got tired of waiting, I would have to go to where its stored and then send and there was no trouble.

Great rom, and korn rocked.

[1uk3isd3ad]

I love Korn! And Star ROM too! I'm loving it but I just flashed and im still tweaking and installing stuff so i cant provide any input but taylor has some kind of mms size limit hack, i honestly dont know if it would help but it might be worth a try. Thanks for the review!

hahahhaha nice glad it was ****ing awesome!!!! them pics you sent over were bad ass too :) papa smurf!!!! hahahahahahhahaa

my review.

i have put this rom through major hell and back for the results and this is what it spat out.... the battery life on this device is amazing. i can easily send and receive 500 plus texts a day and use the internet for weather, light browsing, games for downtime, downloads of files, talking, email, etc.... mad props on the battery life :) for the functionality of the rom i am still amazed at how smooth everything is on this rom. the titanium is snappy and bug free, everythign worked as it should, and the list could just go on and on. star is on to something here and i feel that with a few more versions many people will be flocking from all the other roms including the mighty which hasnt been to good lately but he will be back i know it :) this rom is awesome and wouldnt run anything but this right now since i havent heard of another that are blowing people away.... (until the release of fourthcoming)

Hey. I just flashed to this this morning after reading Dash's review of the SSS rom and this rom and i enjoy it very much so far except for one thing. When i'm using touchpal for texting and i get into a long message. During message, my screen will freeze for 5 seconds or so before finishing the message. I thought this was a problem with touchpal so i reinstalled it and tried deleting all the old messages from my text messages and then even tried a hard reset. still no good. It never fails that i get the freeze. Then i tried another wm6.5 rom to see if there was something with this rom but no good, it seems to happen whenever i use a 6.5 rom but not 6.1 cause ATR was cool with touchpal. I wanted to know if anybody else had this problem and if they found a fix for it. Thanks. I appreciate all help. and i do greatly agree, the battery life is insane. I don't have to worry about keeping a charger with me right now cause my phone lasted the whole day even after the flash and restore with PIM and with checking the basketball game every 2 minutes tonight. Good work!!!

yeah this rom's battery life is incredible and everything runs super smooth...the only thing that I don't really like about this rom is that it doesn't have the rhodium enhancements cooked in and I love using those...other than that this rom is great

I do love that the rom is smooth but has anybody found a fix for the random screen lock ups? Lol it's killing me when I'm texting at work with the virtual keyboard. and does anybody have a problem with the text messages application not letting you close a conversation and open another one until the current message has been sent? (let me know if that didn't make sense lol) Those are the only two things that i have a problem with. Other than that, i'm gold. thanks for any help.

[jr5416]

star is pretty active on fixing the fixes when he sees people comment on them... he only replies when he needs to.... but for the keyboard there is a fix for that freeze... all you have to do is not use fngerkeyboard.

[2LoWw7]

I cant get S2A to work with this rom!! I get the ugly little msg box when I have a incoming call!!! :(

Ur right bro something about this tflo3d making me keep it as a homescreen its fast smooth no bugs .And i got it where im kinda digging what ive done to it

[Superman369]

Ok review time.....
When I first installed this ROM I was very impressed. The speed and smoothness are definitely above average. Everything came up as soon as I tried to open it, with the exception of a few programs that I had to manipulate to open(such as Windows Media Player). For the first day, I tested the battery with little to know usage, and to my pleasant surprise, the battery was still at a whopping 65% after being off the charger for 15 hours. I was, needless to say, very impressed. There, however, is where my impressed opinions of this ROM came to an end. The next day I decided to see how long the battery would last with heavy usage. After approx 3 hours of internet surfing, texting, and listening to music, I checked the battery status. I was very dissapointed to see that it was at a dismal 20%. I then came to the conclusion that the ROM is fast, but at the expense of a very quick battery consumption rate. The ROM was adept at preserving battery power with little phone use, but what good is that really? When you have a phone as powerful as the Touch pro, you want to use it. Not use it as a paperweight.
After my dissapointment with the battery power, the ROM was pretty much as expected in regads to performance and battery life, based on my experiments the first two days. After around three days however, my phone started having random freeze ups, programs would not load properly(if at all) and the phone began to take an excesive amount of time to boot up. I first thought this was because of all the installing and uninstalling I was doing(for the review videos I was posting in the themes section) so I gave the ROM the benifite if the doubt, did a Hard Reset and repeated the flashing process.
I had assumed that this would correct the flaws I found in the ROM. I was, however, wrong in my assumption. The same problems surfaced again, this time after 4 days of use. The battery was also giving the exact same results.
So, all in all, in the end? I give my first impression of this ROM a solid 9 out of 10. My opinion after 1 week, however, drops drimaticaly to a 5 out of 10.
This ROM has so much potential and is already on the correct path for greatness, but the chef has some issued they will have to iron out in order for this ROM to truley be a "Star" ROM.

Cant believe u had such a bad exp with this rom bro as u can c a couple of us here have had great reviews i would suggest reflashing till it gets better for u i dont think i coould ever change this rom until atr platnium comes out

Yeah, real talk, I have to agree with you! I feel like the StarRom has pretty much shut the game down for the moment! I have flashed several different Roms over the course of a few weeks. While all of them had their own very positive qualities which made them stand out, the negatives usually outweighed them and this has caused me to run right back to the StarRom! In some instances an hour later, lol. StarRom has a few minor issues that can be worked around but all in all, this is the best WM 6.5 Rom I have used! I am also waiting for the ATR Platinum Edition to be released and from the review videos and them revamping it with a new stable release....I know it will stack up pretty well with this Rom. Can't believe how great this Rom is guys, thanks again!!!!!!!!!!!!

[inkjammer]

ok what is the diffence in the TF3D@ and the Platinum? I have a sprint touch pro CDMA phone.
