BAHayman does, so you should probably address questions to him.

I think we should start an affiliates program where the ddf community donates miles and they are distributed to top contributors for doing projects that enhance ddf. BaHayman would be at the top of my list. AsherO, SF and others too...

BAHayman has done stuff for the site (I don't mean content), and AFAIK he's been compensated (not that it's my business). I haven't done anything like that, and neither has SF (to my knowledge). Having said that, I sincerely appreciate the homage :D

paging BaHayman :)
I wish I had the time to make an awesome luach app, I do miss the palm os one although I have been away from palm for a couple of years :-)

I think we should start the "Where is BAHayman" thread...
Lol, I'm still here :-) Just been having a couple busy days.

some ppl wrote that you use chrome beta, so I assume u have ICS, do u have a stable built? is there one at all?,
any major differences between android 2 and ICS?
Any negatives like WiFi or gps not working in ICS?
I've got @kushdeck's version of ICS running on my Evo 4G and it's not all that bad. Sure it locks up every few hours and has random reboots but I think the advantages of ICS outweigh the issues. Major differences would be the new Gmail app, copy/paste, better battery management, awesome new looks, etc.
Wifi and GPS work fine for me, 4G does not work but I don't live in a 4G area anyway...

Is that EnergyRom, or are they two separate things?

EnergyRom is a very stable 2.3 ROM with HTC Sense, ICS is >= 4.0 with no HTC Sense.

Desk ICS is Android 4.03r1 and is what I am currently running albeit with no 4G nor HTC Sense...

So BAHayman pointed me to this nice Zmanim app that can calculate zmanim with a zip code or coordinates even when offline.
And he helped me add hebrew dates and yom tovs to the built in google calendar.
All in all a decent makeshift solution to the lack of the Palm Luach app.
