I tried looking but im not gonna threw all 35 pages, but is there any way to change the banner on the lock screen? Currently it says "rubiX Focused" and I would LOVE to change it to my name or something. Is this even possible?
This is a pretty solid guide to changing the banner on your phone:

Be sure to make a backup of the original file, and pay careful attention to the 16 characters required, even if the characters are blank spaces.
Pretty much all the guides I've seen to do this, were based on this one:
Changing the "Verizon Wireless" on lockscreen/statusbar on Deodexed 2.2!! ...

I've brought it to his attention, yes. Though since you copy and pasted that, I'm wondering if the reason isn't simply due to a typo somewhere? The actual file is called sysctl.conf not syscontl.conf. If it is looking for syscontl.conf it will never find it...
Edit: tried renaming it to syscontl.conf but it still didn't take so it's not that
unless the system will only take orders from sysctl.conf and the activator will only activate syscontl.conf

BUG REPORT: Contact Images
Here is a bug report for contact images. There are three problems associated. This is something that I've been trying to diagnose for a while, but the symptoms have been all over the place. After testing for a good 2 hours, I finally figured it out.
Without facebook installed, you will have a list of contacts that syncs with google (assuming you have "sync contacts" checked under accounts > google). None of those contacts will have facebook profiles tied to them since facebook is not installed. Therefore, they will not have any images unless you have images within their profile under your gmail contacts list.
The rom advertises that contacts will sync with facebook. So now, once you install facebook, the contacts will in fact sync, to an extent. Upon installing facebook and logging in, your login info will automatically be added to "Accounts" within your droid. From there, every contact that has a name matching a friend on facebook will have a facebook profile tied to it under your contacts list. If you have a contact named XXXABC DEF or ABC DEFXXX where the X's are random letters or spaces, and the contact's name in facebook is simply ABC DEF, then that contact will be tied to that facebook account anyway (this is a good thing, it's meant to be intuitive). Ex. a phone contact named Joe Vin will be successful in being tied to a facebook contact named Joe Vinny, and vice versa.
Now for the problems:
The smaller problem arises in that your contact images will not show up until you view them in facebook. Meaning you will have a full contact list and the contacts will have facebook profiles tied to them, but none will display contact images until you click their facebook profile link under their contact info, or go straight to their profile within facebook. After that, their picture will autoshow within contacts or if they call you, etc.
The bigger problem is that "sync now" under accounts > facebook in your phone essentially does nothing. This means that it will not update anything within your contacts. If a contact changes their photo for instance, you will need to again directly view that contact within facebook in order for their photo to get updated in your contact list.
The biggest problem is that if you add a new contact, it will never get tied to facebook at all unless you 1) uninstall and reinstall facebook, or 2) go to accounts > facebook > remove account, then readd the account by going to your facebook app and logging back in. Either of these will essentially remove all facebook profile links within your contact list, and then readd them, which takes the phone some time.
All three problems are assumed to be resolved by fixing "sync now" within "accounts > facebook" so that it actually does what it's supposed to do, as opposed to doing nothing.
Addendum: if you have contact images within your gmail contacts list, those images have priority, meaning no matter what you do in regards to facebook, the contact image from your gmail contact's list will always be displayed in your phone's contact list.

AWESOME info!
For some background. That being the case, the issue is either:
--The facebook app's "sync now" function isn't working correctly, or possibly has issues with the AOSP contacts app.
--The Contacts app may have issues correctly syncing with the Facebook app.
--Something in the framework is causing a disconnect between the two...
Not sure what can be done about any of the three. Drod can confirm or deny.. but the framework isn't changing unless there's an update, and same with the contacts app, which is compiled directly from AOSP source.
I wouldn't look for any big changes to this issue any time soon... *shrug* but really really great info. Hopefully someone can take this and run with it to get this resolved!

I'm using Beautiful Widget and i'm not having that issue but i have seen it before. I seems to always popup after I do a restore but then goes away after i do a reboot and have everything configured again.
just make sure your gps is on and connect to a wifi hotspot...sure you tried that already though.
any of them that format data and cache will work. the simplest method, is
--Mount and Storage
--Format data
--Format Cache
--back button to main menu.
the Wipe data/Factory Reset should do the same thing however, but I believe it will also reset some stats, etc.
That's actually a fair question. Those are two separate steps in the main bootloader menu. The steps should really read:
- Wipe cache
- Wipe data/factory reset

I wasn't sure if that was what you were referring to or not. Thanks

Anyone use the BeeJive IM application that has updated to 1.8.6?
Ever since I updated to 1.8.6, the application says "invalid.build" to me whenever I try to sign on a chat client like Aim or Yahoo.
I wonder if it has anything to do with 1.8.6.
