Anyway, I've been on Energy for the past several months, but since he doesn't actually have a Diamond to test with, there's been a number of lingering bugs. I've got a few questions about this one before I try to flash (partly to decide which version I even want to flash..)
Right now I'm on 28014 with Sense 2.1 (EnergyROM), and I'd say that it's reasonably stable, but the few bugs I've got are starting to irritate me more and more. So question 1... are these bugs present in OMJ's ROM?
* The volume rocker works even if the device is locked
* In call volume always defaults to middle, does not remember setting
* The HTC SMS app won't show all of my messages (but the All Messages button that launches the Windows SMS app does)
* The lock screen thinks I still have an appointment (on the next day) after an appointment has passed
* Occasionally unlocking my phone will drop me to the dialer and dial * (I have no idea why, and it's inconsistent)
Next question... has Sense 2.5 gotten any better on the Diamond? The last time I tried it, there were noticeable problems that looked to mostly stem from trying to port it to VGA. For example, it was impossible to set the Twitter update settings to the lowest value because the menu would be off the bottom of the screen, or quick launch icons on the home screen would be cut off (doesn't look to be an issue from the screenshots on page 1).
Lastly, what's the difference between Sense 2.5 and 2.5 2012? I assume 2012 is a newer build, but what's changed? Is it worth it?

I have used both NRG and OMJ's ROM's for Sense 2.1 and 2.5, and I have been very happy with both, but settled on using OMJ.
The difference between 2.5 and 2.5 2012 is that 2.5 was designed for new phones, and the 2012 version was designed more specifically for the Diamond spec'd phones. The 2012 tends to run lil faster. There are a few quirks on 2012, but overall usability has been great.
The difference 23xxx vs 28xxx is not that the 28xxx is higher number, its just the series of the builds. Actually 23xxx is newer, and has threaded emails, you'll have to see it to understand.
If you want the most stable build I would recommend the Sense 2.5 2012 | 6.5.3 | 28014 | v1.2, which I had been using for a long time and works very smooth. Of course a lot of people do like the Sense 2.1 because it is a lil faster in speed.
Down fall of the 2012 and the 6.5.5 is that Manilla Locker has not been ported over yet.
