Anyway, I was willing to forgive the lag because otherwise the ROM was pretty good. But then I went to the Orioles game with friends and the problems began. I picked up some friends at their apartment, which is a cellular dead zone. For some reason, this ROM experienced what can only be described as a catastrophic failure as we left the dead zone:
- it became extremely sluggish
- the "Home network" notification would appear and disappear and reappear and I was not able to dismiss it
- the task manager disappeared from the today screen and every time I went into settings to see if I could fix it, settings crashed and dumped me out to the today screen
- while locked, the phone would not display the correct time. It would only display the time when the lock was engaged, unchanging
- GPS would not work in Google Maps
- The phone dialer would crash in-call and the "End" hardware button would not end the call; had to soft reset to end call
I performed several soft resets on the Light Rail to try to fix some of these issues, but the problems only seemed to get worse with every soft reset. Eventually I gave up, but it was extremely frustrating to try and coordinate with friends at the game with a non-functioning phone.
I installed only programs that had been successfully installed on other ROMs (facebook, WMWiFiRouter, Opera, stuff like that) and I had been to the "cellular dead zone" many times before with other ROMs and have never experienced problems like these, or any problems remotely similar.
Right now my phone is charging and as soon as it's beyond 50%, I'm getting rid of this ROM and going back to DCD. Flashers beware of this ROM.

That sucks!
Never have had any of those issues and I have had each version of this ROM flashed on my phone. In fact I travel on the a train two times a day and each time we travel through a couple cell phone/data dead zones and never had the issues you are describing.

Some people can chock to death drinking water. DRINKERS PLEASE BEWARE OF DRINKING WATER!!!!
POint being is that's a little over the top. Just cause you have some freak issue with your phone does not mean there is a catastrophic failure with the ROM. More then enough people running this Rom with no issues or at the very least none like you talk about.
