I actually can get used to the not going idle thing. But I really preferred the 7 bar signal meter.

I tried the cab and it did work. I see what you are talking about - the signal arrows do seem kinda jaggy but only upon close inspection. At least I have my 7 bars back now (not that I ever see service like that).

Onto another issue that I DID notice with 5-8 as well as 5-24: sometimes it seems like the e-mail client gets hung up and when I turn the phone on, there's an X in the upper right as if the program is in focus, but I see TF3D. In the taskbar it says "Messaging" and until I close that program, my system tray stuff won't update INCLUDING the new e-mail notification and sound. It didn't seem to come up when I had the single exchange e-mail account. After I added 2 additional POP accounts I recall it starting to happen. Thoughts?

Oh I left it on while on the charger last night and it did not freeze...statistically speaking, even if it never freezes again, it's already doing worse than 5-8 or the stock Sprint ROM, but I'll be thrilled if it never happens again.

Also: Both in 5-8 and 5-24 when I click on a link to open in Opera, Opera first opens to my home page (google mobile) THEN actually goes to the link I clicked. This didn't happen on the stock Sprint ROM. Ideas?
