I don't know if I can expect an answer direct from the legendary "Wolfman" or ROMS himself, but I have grown so confused and frustrated, I though I would give it a shot.

I am having many, many frustrations. My phone frequently locks up where I cannot turn it back on from standby. I have to take the battery out and put it back in before I can turn it back on. Is this normal with a cooked build? I run SBPMobile 3 on it, as I paid for it and love it... is that the root of my problem? I have tried removing it, and I seem to have the same issue. In addition, the screen rotation frequently goes nuts. I also have problems with the unit lagging terribly at times when I am trying to open applications. Sometimes I have to tap the screen 3 times before it will launch... and not in the same area of the screen, so I assume it isn't the screen.

Finally, the "surprise, your battery is dead again" is another huge hassle. I have three batteries, and seem to be recharging or swapping batteries twice a day (bluetooth on, wifi off).

Any advise? Sorry for going on and on... here is a summary of my questions...
#1 Should I abandon SBP Mobile Shell 3?
#2 Is it safe to burn one of your ROMS directly over the ROM I have now, or do I have to go back to a newer version?
#3 Does everyone have trouble with the touchpad, or is just me? It seems after I align the screen it is fine for a while, but then drifts left or right in a matter of hours or days.

Once again, thank you for all you do...

The Captain...
Wow, what a post.

First, thank you for the kind words.

Now to your issues.

No lockups are not normal. Most times they are caused by a program that does not function correctly. The hard part is figuring out which one is causing the problem. It usually intails removing programs and ten running for awhile to see if it now works. If it freezes again you try another program, etc.

All of the other problems you mention can be caused by programs also. So if you want to stay with the ROM you currently have then you will need to start playing.

1. No, keep MS3 if you like it. It should work on any of the 6.5 ROMs. If it doesn't then you should choose a new ROM.

2. Yes, it is safe. Nice thing about our devices and this ability as you can try multiple ROMs to find one you like.

3. No, usually the touchscreen behaves. I think this will go away once you flash to a different ROM or find the program or programs that are causing your issues.

Just so you know. I have recently released an MS3 version of my ROM. Its basic right now but I will be doing some more work on it.
