Re: [TESTING] XDAndroid GBX0C 2.3.7 Build

Now I see there's a new GBX0C and it seems like it might be time to switch. But, I've got a few questions.

1. I see references that the downloadable image has kernel .27, but that there are others all the way up to 3.1. From a speed and stability, should I be looking to use a different one? If so, a pointer on where to read up on them/download them/etc would be greatly appreciated.

2. I'm using Sharkeys ROM on the WM6.5 side. When I look in the \windows\ directory, there are no CSV files. Is this something with the Sharkey ROM, or the Sprint rom, or what? When I tested GBX0B, I just used the ones in the second post (AcousticRHOD400CSV's.zip), but I don't know if that's the best choice. Or do I need to somehow extract the CSV files from a stock Sprint Rom?

3. I've seen references to using a specific brand (and speed) of MicroSDHC card to get the fastest performance. Speed is one issue I've had with the Froyo version, especially in answering the phone. If I'm using another app (like an e-book) it might take 4-5 rings before the slide-to-answer pops up and I can answer the phone. Any pointers to more discussion on this (or direct experience?) I've currently got a 16GB Class 6 RiDATA card which I'm guessing isn't the fastest. I know some cards are great for large files, but blow for small, and others are the reverse so any tips would be great.

Thanks to all the devs on this. New life for an old phone is wonderful!
I am using the 3.2 kernel, and it seems slightly more stable, but you can swap them around and see what works best for you. Check this post on the first page for more options.

I am using the cvs files from the first page. You should be ok I think using them.

Go here to read up on the sd card issue. SD Strange-results - or - How I learned to love CM7 on SD - Dec-11 results compiled! - xda-developers
It does make a noteworthy difference. How much depends on how crappy your current read/write times are. I am currently running with a sandisk 4gb cl4 card, and am happy with the overall speed. It is very close to the speeds I got with the NAND build.
