Been running froyostone almost constantly since it released and haven't had any SOD's but I do have periods where the screen becomes non-responsive. Mainly happens when playing a game or something else that involves heavy touch use.

Cutolla has is password protected...he said he'll be messing with zImages for the next month but not releasing anything until September sometime and it will be a major release...

Played with FroyoStone (with limited Sense) all day today, works really well!

A couple questions:
1. I still have the garbled sound issue. All sound coming through the phone is robotic etc and I can't hear anything.
2. When you go back to WinMo, the time and date are always screwed up. Does this happen to you guys? And then do you have to manually set the time? Shouldn't the phone pick up the date and time from the network automatically when I connect to T-Mo?

Thanks!

PS - I'm running Omega 4.1 ROM with 2.12.50.02_2 radio.

I don't have the robotic sound issue anymore...I'm using Dutty's ROM with 2.10.50.26...

Some builds give me the messed up time issue but this one doesn't (FroyoStone w/Sense)...

Hmm ok I guess I'll try that build, these are definitely fun to play with.

Also - I see some posts about swapping out zimages etc, what exactly is this for? Forgive me, I'm an android noob.

the "zimage" contains the build information, the newer ones have more code.

If you swapped out your current zimage with one from 2 weeks ago, you wouldn't have a charge indicator and you'd have constant SOD. So if you are experiencing certain issues, just get a newer/different zimage and it might work better for you, that way you don't have to go using a whole different ROM.

I am on FroyoStone with the zimage I attached a few posts back, and it works like a freaking dream

Oh wow so you're saying that if I had everything setup with my accounts etc and then I swapped out my old zimage for a new one, I would keep all my settings but just be replacing the system files? If yes, then that's freaking amazing!

I'm using FroyoStone Sense right now, seems awesome so far. Voice is still robotic though.. I think it's my 2.12 radio probably

Also - does anyone know why there is no voice button on the keyboard on any of these froyostone builds? That was one of the big features I wanted but I can't seem to find it anywhere in the settings. I know I've found it before on a stock Nexus One but nothing in these builds as far as I can tell.

Kumars HD2 GTX WinMo rom

+

Energy's Froyostone build

+

Radio 2.12.50.02

=

No sound issues
No sleep of death
Battery lasted me almost all day...unplugged at 9am and needed to charge it around 5. Not great but certainly good.

that's because "Sense UI" uses the HTC keyboard, you need the Android 2.1 keyboard with voice, search for an APK it's pretty easy to find.

But the desire and evo both use the Sense keyboard and they have the voice button right? I've tried the default Android keyboard and it's terrible compared to htc's imo.

Another question - when I first log in to android and set everything up and eventually go back to windows, i can't seem to go back to android anymore.. clicking on haret starts up the boot process but then it says no rootfs found and starts an fsck on the memory card which takes hours before i give up and finally pull the battery. Any ideas on how to get around this? Thanks!
