just finished testing a few different configurations (different slot settings, different ROMs) and here's what I've found:
Changing the slot cycle index to 1 did nothing noticable for me. My home phone was still ringing up to 4 times before my TP dpad would light up.
I then changed it to 0 and the difference was night and day. The dpad lights up almost instantly after the first ring from my home phone. It still takes about a second for the actual ringer to sound but what an improvement!
I'm in New York City using Sprint with the new Telus radio on DREAM v0.8_24pp (which I don't see posted anymore but still the one that works best for me; most stable and fastest rom imho).
Here's the link to the current Dream Roms(

On a side note, the Telus radio (

BTW, I also changed the PRL to 60650 (

Does anyone know how to get the ringer to go off at the same time the dpad lights up? I'm just nipicking at this point, it's pretty darn quick. I'm just using a regular HTC ringtone that came with the ROM.
update: sometimes very fast but sometimes the phone wouldn't ring at all. Set the slot cycle back to 1. Everything is good.
