OK, this isn't a hack. I seem to have "broke" my phone.

I used PHM registry editor to change the background on the outside LCD, and add a new sound to the alarm. Then I left it plugged into the 'puter overnight. This morning, I noticed the Windows Mobile Logo shining out of the Front LCD. I've changed the registry back, turned it on and off, Windows Logo is still there...

At least now we know it's possible to make the LCD stay on. Right?

Any help? Thanks all!

Well did a hard reset and all is back to normal. I wasn't able to learn anything about making the external screen stay on...
