Yes, I have push mail (Exchange) on. That's good to know you know of the issue. ALmost all other ROMs are using some form of Sense which may do some registry changes for that. Too bad no one has posted more information about that. Also I noticed the "Antenna/Arrows" icons in this ROM are different than any ROM I have tried. Perhaps they know of the issue as well, and their versions of "arrows" are actually "off" to give a false sense.
As an experience, I did leave the fully charged phone on my desk over night and after 9 hours and 7 new emails, me checking and replying to 3 emails, it's still at 92% battery life! Holy cow!
Then again, I always seem to get long battery life overnight if I forget to charge my phone, then during day (with txt, dozens of emails, etc). So, I'll leave it off the charger today and see how it does on the 92%.
Other than that, I am really enjoying the "just the way Microsoft intended". Missing a few things that are cooked into the other ROMs like the auto-complete of the TO: for SMS and Emails, but the phone is much faster now. Excellent trade-offs (back to basics) that I am happy to get rid of for the speed.
Thank you!
Speaking of Speed, I noticed in your ROM, and one of the main reasons why I choose yours, that you said you "uncomrpessed everything for speed". Other ROMs state they use one form of compression (LZ I think?) for maximum speed. A little confused by both of these statements. As a developer of 15 years, anything compressed tells me that some process must decompress those items in order for it to be used. Even if "compressed for speed", this tells me it would still be slower than Uncompressed - which is what your ROM is (and the only ROM I found).
To me, everything is just that tad bit faster - which I am really enjoying. Nothing pissed me off more than clicking something and waiting that extra second for something to load.
With the wife's Hero that is overclocked runing Android and a "fast UI ROM", hers is much faster than our 2 year old Touch Pros (711mhz or so vs our Touch's 528mhz speed). Not to mention Android 2.2 "FroYo" is 40% faster than Android 2.1 (complete update to the kernel and compiler). To put that into comparison, her Android 2.1 OS, even with a custom ROM, was just a tad faster launching applications than our Touch Pro. But now with Android 2.2's 40% kernel speed improvement, it's a clear night-and-day difference. I am simply amazed at the speed of which things launch now on her phone.
So comparing hers to mine again is a night-n-day difference (I always used to steal her phone to get online, instead of using mine). But with this ROM, it's now barely fast enough to keep me on my own phone again (at least until I get an EVO). Thank you again!
Donated!
