I'd characterize the new rom as overall good news since it definitely seem smother and faster, which might be expected if a lot of debug code was removed. The issue with the SMS text message that win7463 identified, but for which he also identified easy workarounds remain, albeit in a slightly different manner on the messages tab, and the same on the other tabs.

So in summary, nothing is worse, the rom seems to me to be smoother, and having a 2018 rom based on a shipped rom vs a debug rom provides some confidence that we are ready for updates to CHT and MaxSense when they arrive with RSS capabilities. I'm going to continue to test this out to ensure it is working well, but you can expect to see new links to 2.5.2018.3025 roms in the next day or two.

Looks like there are a couple of minor issues on 2018.3025, in addition to the SMS previously discussed. The first involves email and has already been resolved. Another is a cosmetic problem with the title on the Internet tab. The third is not so much a bug, but rather a shortcoming of the Oboe version of the rom in that it does not support Social Networking, i.e., the Updates and Events/Facebook capability in the People tab. So unfortunately it looks like a trade off between RSS in 2018 vs Updates and Events/Facebook in 2016. For me, RSS trumps U & E/F, so I'm sticking with 2018.3025.

There may be an alternative in terms of cooking a 2016 People Package into 2018, instead of the actual 2018 version. If anybody is willing to test that approach I'm willing to cook it up and post it. LMK.

Here it is. Let us all know how this works.

So far so good. As already stated the sms bug is still there but with the work arounds already given it does not restrict usability at all. The intregration of the 2016 people package with the rest of the 2018 packages works without any issues. Have manually added a bunch of contacts and linked them with their facebook accounts without problems. Very smooth/fast rom with the best of both worlds, working facebook integration and rss feeds on the home page. All my email and apps are installed and not having any issues. Have not installed any themes yet but cannot see that causing any issues? anyone know where I can find the flamerise theme?

Excellent! Which now makes me wonder if we can fix the sms bug by also going back to the 2016 package. I'll put in the flamerise theme just for you, and anything else you want , if you're willing to give that a go. LMK.

If you want to throw the flamerise theme and the 2016 messaging package in a new rom I'll give it a shot. Wasn't it the 2016 messaging package with the 2018 debug packages that we first discovered the sms bug. Wonder if the 2016 messaging might work better with the 2018.3205 packages.

Come to think about it, I believe you are right. I'll check. Either way I'll cook you up a new rom with the flamerise theme if you want to go through the trouble of reflashing. Anything else you want in it while I'm at it?

Finally, the cosmetic glitch I mentioned on the title of the internet tab is a result of a curtain transparency mod. So if you don't apply these, you shouldn't see it. Interesting that the double title does not show up on any of the other tabs.

Can't think of anything else to put in. Have not noticed anything wrong with the internet title.

Will be available shortly.

The problem with the title is there for all, but is hidden without transparency. A fix has been supplied so that will be in your version too.
