Thanks gguruusa for clarifying these baked goods...
So after re-installing NFSFAN no theme rom and re-installing a handful of apps, I found that my phone was more responsive then DH's Black Vista.
Although DH's 3d icons, 3d'ish keyboard etc were nice, the familiar look and feel of HTC's original GUI remains in NSFAN's Rom; even Opera seem to run quicker (user installed) in comparison to DH's Opera embedded in ROM.
Here is something strange, the music player in DH's rom seems like the normal Media player, however hitting the power button seems to shut off the music unless you the music is piped through a bluetooth headset of which the screen is blanked rather then putting the unit into standby. This is usually the first thing I check after flashing a rom; whether or not I can play my music from my SD card after hitting the power button. I believe there is a streaming media player under programs which seems the same but that player will blank the screen when the power button is pressed. Since the 3d cube is no longer present in DH's rom, the play, pause buttons are missing from the cube.
NFSFAN's Rom statys with the familiar OEM player function. I had the original HTC Touch before I went with Bell. The first thing that I noticed when I bought my Bell was the Bell music store and the fact that the player was routed through media player; shutting off the music after you press on the power button.
NFSFAN's rom retains the original HTC music player which puts controls on the 3d cube, controls on the today's page and the ability to hit the power button to blank the screen without interrupting the music.
With GPS viewer included in NFSFAN's Rom, I had that app running while running TomTom. TomTom would relock the sats in approximately 12 seconds after a standby; Googlemaps in 4 seconds. With Googlemaps I did not need GPS viewer running, whereas TomTom seems lost without it.
I really enjoy the works of the cooked ROMS as it seems to bundle all the favorite apps into one install. However having said that, the bundled favorite app of the ROM might not be your favorite app and thereby become another bloatware.
Unless another must-have feature comes about (in this case REV-A and GPS), I doubt I will be flashing my ROMS again as it usually entails having to hunt for all my apps and re-installing them one by one. I have lost my favorite game suduku and now I will have to find the cab again..... suduku where are you?
For those who are making these kitchen roms..... thank you....
