Great work, some thoughts - (not complaints, I have had a lot of success with your release and what you include / exclude is totaly up to you since you are doing all of the hard work):
The Resume Plug in for WMP is an issue. After playing WMP several times the memory requirement for it grows to the point where I can have 52% used memory before a WMP session and only >90% Used when WMP starts. Deleting the Resume.asx and resume.pl in the root directory restores normal operation for a period of time. I've tried the Resume plug in previously with WMP and the Titan and have never been able to overcome the downside and have always removed the option. - Unless I'm the only one with these issues it isn't worth including it in the ROM.
Extended ROM - This creates issues with SD card access for Mail, In this version of the ROM I cannot select SD card for attachment storage because the mail program only sees the Extended ROM and doesn't give an option for SD card storage. This requires a registry hack to point mail attachments to a \MAPI\Attachments directory to get Mail attachments on the SD card. Given that I don't find extended ROM that useful this is more of an annoyance than a benefit. If extended ROM will remain in place the Registry edits to setup \MAPI\Attachments should be included as a file in the ROM allowing the user to run a reg file to point attachments to the SD card.
8 button comm manager. I'm using the mfrazzz_commManager_8Button_cab. Requires a link to the commManager.lnk file in the Windows\appbuttons directory.
I turn off the memory / ram meters - (remove them from Windows Startup) - No issue leaving them in since I can remove them easily...
I'm seeing a EncFiltLog.menc file on my storage card with these 6.5 builds - don't recall seeing that with the TPlane builds (can't swear to that for certain though).
I had an issue this weekend with .menc files between flashes that required me (after a bunch of research / digging) to do a low level format on my SDHC card to get it to work with a PC again - lost everything on the SD card - - not sure if there is something specific that needs to be done with 6.5 to stop the .menc file from appearing or if this is simply a microsoft file that I have to live with with 6.5 - may just need to be sure I backup SD between ROM upgrades...
Keyboard - I like the BJK_HTC_EZInput_QVGA_FullKbd_0409-RC2.cab - works well for me. Had to apply a titan keyboard fix file to get all characters to work with this ROM (didn't need this with the TPlane ROM but it may simply be something with the order in which I installed software).
showAce has an updated version of TitaniumWeather.
Quick GPS - There is an HTC_QuickGPS_Trinity.Cab file that works great with the Titan - Installs QuickGPS in the correct location (\windows) and locates the xtra.bin file in the Windows directory correctly so that you don't have to manually copy the file from \temp to \windows.
Honeycomb - I prefer the start menu w/o the Honeycomb background and with the 3x rather than 4x spacing (eyes getting older
) - I can edit the CPL to get this behavior.
Browser - This is just FYI for anyone interested - Opera 9.5 is working very well with the Titan and this ROM. look for Opera_v9.5_build_15746_WWE_QVGA either here or XDA - not sure where I dl'd it from ).
In general I prefer a clean rom with basic functionality and then I add / remove items as I need them rather than having them in ROM. (like JeffGMan above I was using the TPlane builds which are very clean but aren't ready beyond 22501 yet and 22501 didn't seem to be as good at managing memory as the 212xx builds you've released).
These aren't intended to be criticisms, just my experience with the ROM - Thank you for all the hard work required to put these together - your work has extended the life of my Titan until I decide which device is next...
