How Stable is 6.5

This puts only 6 or so messages on screen.

i have no clue what you mean but here is what my message list looks like.

Thanks p-slim for taking the time to do the capture.

That's basically what I want mine to look like! I've tried the ssk 6.5 rom and Mighty. Both look like the screen shot I that attached. See all the extra white space after each message?

I've tried different themes. Colors change, but not the spacing.

It is the stock theme that is causing this to happen. If you go to the today screen and change your theme to any other one then you will get that corrected, only classic blue gives that apperance.

to the OP, i personally don't use anything but wm6.5 anymore. early builds had annoying bugs that had me hold off but anything copper and beyond is pretty amazing. i've used close to all of the 6.5 roms on the site and i always tend to bounce between mighty and juicy (i know i know... but there's a reason they're the biggest)
i'm currently on juicy because of the keyboard lag on mighty, but that should be fixed soon now that juicy is helping him out with that

B-I-N-G-O I tried other themese before, including HTC Black, but I guess the others that I tried didn't override it. Just tried another, and poof it's gone (And I'm happy again). I'm turning my idiot mode off now. Much appreciated.

6.5 has been stable for me, well, the newer ones, a month ago IMO they were not, now im running mighty mikes MR5 5-24-09 release and its crazy stable and battery life rocks, even with 60 programs installed. I will never go back to 6.1, plus, why live in the past, this is the future, id recomend Mr5 to anyone who wants the best 6.5 rom.

Ive just noticed starting this week that my text is freezing inbetween messages. Ill send a message and it freezes. Ive tried hard resets. The past two MR5 roms and both are doing it... 6.5 was stable for like 1-2 weeks on that rom and I loved it but all of a sudden no matter which of those roms or which apps are installed its doing it bad... Any ideas why, i really dont want to go back to 6.1 after being spoiled with 6.5...

Thanks!!

Hmmmmmm i dont know other than it sounds like software you have installed is doing it, I know you said no matter whats installed (assuming your saying its no apps causing it), but 2 weeks great then all the sudden, thats wierd, i bet its software related not the rom.

Well Ive purposely did a hard reset and didnt install one app, and the issue was still there... any way it could be hardware starting to fail and should go in for a replacement... anyone else have these issues?

heres my app list:
garmin xt
arcsoft mms
csdevctrl (loads 6.5 lock on wakeup)

thats it! and i also now have spb mobile shell 3 which has actually improved it but not fixed the issue. Thanks guys for any positive input
