I was largely unsatisified with the previous ROM (23541). It was actually no faster than other Energy ROMs and it seemed to lock up much more than the pre 2/26 versions. My phone ringer was forever linked to the system sound level and I finally experienced the "can't answer incoming calls situation". Needless to say, I was looking forward to the new 23542 ROMs.
I'm currently on 23542 w/ cookie and it is definately a different beast. I feel that it's noticably snappier than all other versions and no lock up as of yet. However, I did encounter 3 quarks:
- linking with corporate Exchange server (this happened to me on an older version of Energy ROM) -- corporate password lock out policy and corporate device encryption policy took in weird ways. password lockout set itself to 0 minutes instead of the 15 minutes as stipulated within the corporate policy. Also, I never received the prompt to restart my TP2 in order to begin the encryption process. A simple soft reset and the encryption process took over
- weather didn't load on the home tab (loaded in the weather tab, but the home tab simply showed the time). I stumbled on the cookie enable/disable weather animations shortcut. While default was "enabled," I disabled and then re-enabled the animations and weather and weather animations appeared on the home tab
- as noted by others, the CHT editor cooked into the ROM needed to be updated to v1.6
I understand that #1 on my list isn't the fault of the chef. Because I have full knowledge of what goes on with my company's Exchange policies, I'm leaning that these random issues I see with ROMs + linking to corporate Exchange servers is attributed to code changes by Microsoft when they release these incremental updates to the their beta OS.
Hope this helps.
