I read a couple of pages and seeing what some are saying about ROM's and what not... Pretty interesting read....
I have to let you guys know that after I converted to Android, I HATED LIFE! I had to re-learn a lot, but after those pains got taken care of, I must say, it's the best decision I've made. Simply put, you cannot challenge Google's clouds tech. everything is done over the air! No need for active sync or anything like that. Plus there's tons of add-ins for your Chrome or FF to interact with your phone without having to touch it. I remembered I relied on Outlook, now Gmail has replaced it, I don't even use MS products! I exported my contacts and uploaded it to Google, and I was done! Everything was in there except for contact pictures, but the contact notes and all that other data was there. By the time I completed the upload, all of my contacts were on my phone, I didn't have to do anything or hook anything up, I just logged into my gmail account once on my phone and I was done.
ROM's aren't really needed with Android phones because they come out working great! You may need to switch kernels around for more performance, but that's just about it. Most people who use ROM's use it for 2 things: To have a ROM free of Sense or to have a ROM that has no carrier apps, other than that, the need for custom ROM's to enjoy your phone is over. I remember working with Mike on this Project for the Diamond, TP and TP and if those phones didn't have these custom ROM's they were simply crap!
I would love to do one last Hurrah with Mike, I guess for the TP2, but I sold mine, I have nothing to test with, the files I used to have are all gone now, the server is still there sitting, and the update would be really minor IMO. Not too much has changed since the last build...
I remember staying up with Mike till like 4am - 6am building and testing stuff, making major releases, having you guys kill my server :P. I remember changing servers like 6 times all to make your downloads quick without any ads. It was overwhelming, but fun at the same time.
Everyone has a different need when it comes to phones, I love my EVO, but I will admit, I miss the TP2 keyboard, to me, it is the best keyboard to ever touch a cellphone! I just cannot pull away from Google right now. If I ever forgot my cellphone and needed to make an emergency call, I could find someone with a Android phone, log into my gmail account and get all of my contact information and call who I needed. You're not going to be able to do that with any other mobile OS. Switching ROM's is easier and quicker on Android, UC has nothing on Titanium Backup! Every morning at 3am my entire phone is backed up to my SD card. If I were to ever remote wipe or factory reset my phone, 5 minutes is all it would take to restore every single thing! WM I had to create .cabs, create UC's and SDconfig files... LOL... Wow... Flash back!
Just thought I'd stop by, I still miss a lot of you's even though I don't come on here as I used to...
