1. When my screen rotates to landscape 9 times out of 10 tries it goes blank. I would just disable screen rotation but under tf3d options I do not find it, although it was on the stock rom.
2. The verizon keyboard fix cab has no effect and my symbols are still all f'd up and hit/miss. Some letters also.
3. When I go to my mail and press option for new, it just stays on the main inbox screen and I cannot send mail at all as it won't give me the correct screen. Same when I try to enter email client from the action button option.
4. My received emails don't scroll with a finger flick like on the stock. I kinda miss that feature.
I know there are lots of tweaks floating around for certain issues, some work , some don't. I've tried some and don't want to spend all the neccessary time to hunt down the rest that may or may not work.
Some things work, some things don't. This is just my $.02
Battery life btw is not terribly bad , but def not as good as stock. I know the energy roms are tweaked for speed so as far as that goes the battery life is probably acceptable.
There were several other smaller issues, I won't get into. I know alot of you out there are big into custom roms, as I am, but it basically comes down to what works for ya and what you need to work reliably.
I dig the overall eyecandy appeal. I'm not cutting the rom down for certain issues I'm having, but I think I'll go back to stock. For once verizon has hit a home run with a stock release rom and stability is rather high on my list and a nice feature. So I'm going to go back to stability land and maybe check out some more custom stuff later down the road.

1. Manila 2.5 does not support landscape mode in any tab
except for pictures and music.
2. It's worked for most of us. Did you use the one that NRG posted on the second page??? If you try and use MightMike's on this ROM it will not work. Did you soft reset after you installed it?
3 + 4. are you using Manila messenger or the default old windows tmail program? If you're using Manila messenger I suggest disabling it nor will I try and sort out any problems with it (sorry, I just don't think it's worth it for such an unstable client anyway), but I can't help with those until I know which one your using.
As posted in the first post, this is a beta version of Manila so this ROM will be buggy, but it's the price for the bleeding edge. I highly recommend NRGZ
photon ROM if you want something rock solid stable with good all around qualities, battery life and still something new and running windows mobile 6.5. Seriously, flash that and run it for 12 hours before you go back to stock. Thanks for posting!
