Sorry, but mostly the answers to these questions is gonna be "no".
I will not be further supporting this rom. As I have stated, this "tweak" appears to make a more stable point for users to run from than the released rom from the carrier and manufacturer. I was very particular in not deviating from the released roms any more than the particular tweak that appears to work. No I am not convinced that this IS the problem with the ROM. As to the COMM Manager, yes we have had several discussions regarding its possible part in this issue and others and it was one of the ideas i was looking into when i got my fingers on copies of the Touch Rom. I will likely play around with that some more.. So dont be shy.. Toss you're ideas out there
My goal here was to give back to this community by using my understandings and skill set for the rom development for this device. Indeed members of the Rom Devel group here on the site pushed me into this attempt. I never intended to actually make a supported rom that addresses a lot of problems, only to go seek and find some work around for a thorny issue with this device.
Never fear though. The information and detail of what I have done with this rom was and is being directly shared with the contributors of this site who do indeed work to make and support roms for the community. They will, likely, take this "fix" and further refine it so that it only the "necessary" changes are made and will back-port it into the other roms.
Yes, I miss-named the file when I rar'd it up. Yes the one posted DOES include the 1.47 radio but I named the pushed file as if it included the 1.40 rom. My mistake.
Yes, one of the other issues being investigated and hunted is the dpad issues. No it was not my intent on this work to try and address that issue. Some have said it works better etc, and I'm pleased if it does help some, but I wasnt trying to work that. The community will continue to evolve this work and get a solution that does address this and other issues on this device. Who knows, the rom-devel team here may tell me thats the next thing they want me to "dig on". If so I will tweak with it and see what i can do.
I will only be doing three more things regarding this thread though.
1. I will get my "naming error" corrected regarding the radio.
2. I will load a ROM up that DOES have the 1.40 radio attached.
3. I will loda a ROM that has the 1.32 radio.
I think the radio is also a contributor to some issues, so by offering roms pre-loaded with the different radios i'm simply trying to make sure that users who have issues swapping their radio in and out can do so easier.
I will not be bothered, though, if some other member of the community wanted to put together something that the ops could link to or sticky, so that newbies could get to this solution faster w/o less hunting. I've done my part on this.. Maybe some others would like to lead the charge taking this effort and furthering it on for users. It will not offend me in the least if somebody wanted to go do that.
Enjoy
