My experience with AKU3.5 CF1 or CF2 - Pros and Cons

I have been running AKU3.5 for a week now. For those still hesitating whether to upgrade, here are some pros and cons based on my experience:

PROS:

--With Kiten OEM, you can put more program in, my OEM folder is 39.4M.
--Fast portrait and lanscape switching (at least 4 or 5 seconds faster) if you have quite a few today plugins.
--Start - Program much faster (before it is slow when you have a lot of programs installed and you want to find the progrsm which is on the end of the list).
--A few new programs (RDP, Mobile Live..).
--Smart dialer, speed dial ## code all work now with tweaks and fixes.
--Without push and with EVDO disconnected, battery life is better.


CONS:

--GPSDash does not work with CF2 (program hang when open, hourglass stays forever).

--IGuidance 3.0, 3.01 crashs when switching between fullscreen and regular mode. Since there is no way to stop the switching (IGuidance switch it automatically when it detects the motion), it seems to me no solution yet. This happens with both CF1 and CF2 with or without other programs installed. This seems a low level dll thing. What is strange is that other programs like pie full scrren mode works fine.

--Occasionally lockup when start a large program (in sd card) from SPB Pocket plus. Program will not start and hourglass stays forever. But there is no errors. Have to softreset.

-- Bluetooth GPS connection will break in most cases after power off even with the following registry tweak
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Power\State\Suspend]
"btl1:"=dword:00000002

--EVDO icon will not diffentiate between idle and active states. But this does not cause any battery problem.
