Re: Linux/Android on CDMA Touch Pro -- Now working on Verizon! And with GPS!

I personally tried 7-10-10 release of 2.2, and i got to admit, it IS slower then 6-13-10 2.1 android on my touch pro (cdma) even with both using turbo command. Less "Wait to.." prompts YES, BUT more noticable random lag's of responsiveness throughout. BUT, everything also works out the box (added internet setting and worked fine, just like in 2.1 to add to get data working), but biggest thing was video's and youtube video's don't flicker at all in 2.2, where as all video's on 2.1 (6-13-10) flicker bad.

Over all, 2.1 seems more more speedy and less (if at all) lag when selecting something or moving screen, or going to applications screen, but has flickering video's when playing. (Unless there's some special option i don't know about to fix this.), but still pretty good.

Tried the 2.1 build with Sense (since i use NRG s2.5 cookie rom's, and just love sense because of it.) but it is more random lag with selecting stuff here and there like 2.2 is, and VGA (i use touch pro cmda-sprint) has some little positioning glitches still, which is ok, like weather is weird, and links have bottom text cut off.

I would say the 6-13 posted here is the over all fastest and best working. Sure some games done play and exit after clicking the link, but I would personally use it daily if it weren't for camera/camcorder, as is not working in 2.2 either. Deal breaker for me, but love android after giving it a chance, and faster then WM6.5 in my opinion, after messing with my best friends EVO the other day, and seeing how cool it actually is.
