Also, there seem to be a lot of small glitches in 2.5 that make this ROM require a soft reset fairly frequently. I flashed from stock and hard reset twice (once while stock, once again after flashing) so I don't think the problem was a bad flash. The chief problems are things like activesync opening randomly (when I boot, for example, for some reason I boot to activesync), soft keys getting renamed but not remapped, and locking/unlocking problems while using 6.5's locking capabilities. Are other people experiencing this? I love 2.5 but I really don't like having to reset my phone so frequently, so I'm trying to figure out if it's just me or if this is just a reality with the ROM. If so, it's probably not the right ROM for me, despite all of its great features.

I use S2U2 2.04, works great. no battery drain (and i've used the versions that drained like crazy). That was the build he had published for about six months straight, he's got some work to do on these latest builds tho IMHO. The only problem is an occaisonal landscape glitch in 2.04, but that does not hamper functionality in a way.

For your others:
activesync opening randomly
This happens when there are errors on the sync. I've seen it, then I've seen it go away when the errors clear out. Make sure you aren't trying to sync to things that your server can't handle (like text messages and google). Also make sure you aren't in an area that drops signal frequently.

soft keys getting renamed but not remapped
have not seen this, might be a conflict with third-party mods/apps you are using

and locking/unlocking problems while using 6.5's locking capabilities
it sucks, namely because of the delay in the lock screen showing when the phone is turned on, and the manila pages working on occasion when the phone should be locked. A_C had both these problems in early versions of S2U2, he figured them out, shame MS couldn't LOL
