Hey Guys, I'm just another thread stalker that never contributes- but I finally signed up, so heres to a start... I've been using android pretty consistently on here for about a week, and I am just entirely impressed by how well you all have this working. Thank you!
I noticed a couple of things in the different ports that I was curious about and I was hoping for some answers, but also hoping my feedback might be somewhat useful for the folks working on this:

1. The first port I loaded was the release BEFORE the June 1st update. I installed the CAB file directly to my memory card, and it seemed to work quite smooth. I was never able to get the GPS to work at all though. Maybe a fluke. Maybe I was doing something wrong?

2. Occasionally I would get the " process not responding" errors for numerous things- It was never a big problem, but it happened for quite a few different things.

3. I tried doing the update through that great looking boot program, however after I did it, my phone would not allow me to use the program anymore. Is there something that needs to be deleted from my card BEFORE doing the update?

4. The issue from 3 led me to wipe my card and try to remove it from my phone to install a different CAB from scratch. I chose 2.1 with Sense. When I would try to install it, it would tell me I still had the Application on my phone. Is there somewhere deep in the phone that I could have been missing some files that I needed to remove? I went through File Explorer and removed everything that I thought could possibly have anything to do with android, but to no avail. Eventually I just told it to install over it, and at the end, it said it was unsuccessful. Well, I ran it anyway. It seemed like it loaded ALIRIGHT, But it was HORRIBLY slow, and HORRIBLY buggy. Is that just how it runs with Sense??

5. Frustrated with that, I removed that one, and Installed 2.1 with Launcher Pro (the newest update as well). I was able to get around the lack of data connection everyone is talking about by setting up that mock APN (Thank you whoever you are....!!!). It seems VERY smooth. Still getting a couple of " application not responding/force close" errors, but not so frequently as with sense, or even the first one I installed.

6. Phone power cycles everytime I try to open Google Maps with this newest release- Anyone else? Any ideas?

7. Paid apps in the marketplace- I know somewhere this came up- Could someone send me a link to that thread?

Alright. Anything anyone of you can offer me would kick a**. Thanks again to everyone working on this. You guys rock.=D> Sorry if I sound like a nag, hopefully it doesnt come across that way, I just figured I'd let you know what I've found in my hours of screwing around with loading it up.
Thanks again.
