The first test (and I know this is probably not recommended), will be if it will accept a backup made on the previous ROM I was running (which was SSK 1.2 exactly how it was released from Scott, with minimal items cooked in). I made the backup using SK Tools and am about to restore it now. I HOPE that the backup will restore and be bug-free as this would be nice not to have to set up all my stuff again!
But anyways I will be taking the phone to work with this new ROM and will try to let you guys know ASAP if I run into any problems. If I DO get any funkiness, I'll do a hard reset and just run the phone as-is without any apps for a while and see if the funkiness is reproduceable and will report on that if it is.
FormerPalm - what differences should I look for running the ROM like this vs. running a ROM just straight from SSK 1.2 as it was released? Speed increase? More memory? any fixes?
EDIT: Already noticed one difference... I set the PP to 12 which is how I ran the last ROM, but I end up with ~1 MB more available RAM, 108 vs. 107. Also, \Windows\ loads up in about one second flat now!! Fastest I've ever seen that! |
Testing would be great. Your backup/restore plan should work as well - if all you changed was the XIP but otherwise cooked with the same kitchen selections.
I've lost track of which XIP version Scott used in the kitchen, but if you have 1MB more memory, I'm fairly sure you are comparing version 1 to version 3. There should be a slight speed-up but not significant. However, any load of a filesystem directory should be faster the first time. Second time it would be the same speed. 12MB is a good pagepool if you have lots of apps cooked in. I have all the HTC bloatware but nothing else - I'm testing with 10 and it seems to be good.
