Get flipit and sdkcerts and put Tmail.exe in the exclusions list.
if you thought 4.5 was good... just wait for 4.6
Don't count it as win/win until you get the STD tests back post Vegas. haha.

The Preview Review:
First the new sys:
I know it's going to be hard to believe but this sys is even faster and smoother than before. Manila is practicaly on fire.
BEST OF ALL no more SIP freezing and for that one guy whose girlfirend was complaing; there is also no more freezing while playing solitaire.
New Htc Calculator
Great revision, it's a standard calculator in portrait but it's got full trigonometry and exponents functions when you flip it to landscape. Search around xda for some screens
It's actually like having two calculators at once, since the values in both the active spot and the memory values are seperate between the portrait and landscape mode. Only thing to becarful of is don't start calculating in portrait if you're going to need advanced functions later in the process.
Album with social networks
I don't have facebook so I can't test that part. Youtube Upload does work though, great feature. Thumbnails load a little faster but that could be from the new sys.
Google maps with contacts
Nice feature, you can pick an address from anyone on your contact list and have it show it on google maps. Doens't quite work if the address is saved with a company name or with a p.o. box. but other than that it's a very nice feature.
Random Access Contact Scrolling Fix
Works just like it is supposed to now.
New Opera - FAIL!
Tested a new version and it almost played embeded flash videos pretty well, but upon further testing it wound up soft reseting the device when trying to play some flash videos. But if it was included in the rom without flash support I think it would be the fastest most stable opera release there is. Skyfire is 1 000 000 times better for flash videos anyways.

In Call Recording; You can record calls to the main memory only (My Documents\Recording) but the ICR.exe to change the options(wav/amr & internal/main mem) and review your recordings, will not open for some reason.
Pacman is screwed. PRobably cuase it's a 320 240 version.
How's that to get your mouth watering?

Hey buddy thanks for the review,
Quick question, is the text freezing gone? Is that a past due to the new sys? I'll be completely honest, if it wasn't for the freezing (For me on both my diamonds, its not just the texting, its playing solitare too) 4.5 would be the best rom I've ever used, period. The freezing, to me, is a HUGE glitch b/c I do text a lot.
So from you testing the new rom, have you noticed that the issue has dissipated at all? or is completely gone?
Thanks!
