Re: 11-2 | ROM | WM 6.5 | Rhodium 2.1 || GadgetROM v1.95 || 21869

I've been wanting to try out this rom. Can someone comment on the speed? Any lag issues? I'm still on a 6.1 ROM after having some slowness issues with 6.5 ROMs. Wondering how this ROM stacks up on that end.

Thanks!

Very fast. No lag on mine. Best one I've had and I have flashed quite a few.

Yeah, it's supposed to have been gone. I'll double check my set up. Maybe I overlooked it by mistake.

Wasn't SecondToday just a way to turn off stuff in your Today screen and rearrange it? I really liked that functionality. Did it move somewhere else?

The other thing I noticed is the good-looking dialer is gone (or the phone canvas, where we used to have the same background black pix as all other tabs). Now it looks like the stock dialer with white background which looks kinda ugly. Is there a way to bring that back, I mean the phone canvas?

Auto rotation is still not working on my phone. Not opera, not any application even if I configed it in G-config.

And did you by chance to use a different base rom instead of the v1.9 for the modification of 1.95? From the "device info", it says Gadgetrom 1.8, and I also noticed that my Opera is still 9.5 17628 instead of the 9.7 listed in rom 1.9.

And I have to report some of the bugs on 1.95 too. Coming from 1.5, I feel 1.95 has more bugs.

1. the update PRL/Profile did not work. Click on the icon, nothing happened. I tried to install the cab of sprint prl/profile update which I used for other universal carrier roms, still no go.

2. Opera 9.5 (not 9.7 as listed) opened up ppcgeeks.com failure (ironic). Every time I tried to open the homepage of ppcgeeks.com, it loaded the graphics/texts gradually and then shut itself off suddenly. Clicked on the task manager, and Opera is not there, so it was indeed shut off while opening up the webpage.

Gadget, would you please check into this?

This is a work in progress. I'm working on a background that matches the theme but allows for all the text to be visable and in the right place. I should have something this weekend.

Auto rotation is still not working on my phone. Not opera, not any application even if I configed it in G-config.

Hmmm I usually don't use the auto rotate, so I will have to look at this...


And did you by chance to use a different base rom instead of the v1.9 for the modification of 1.95? From the "device info", it says Gadgetrom 1.8, and I also noticed that my Opera is still 9.5 17628 instead of the 9.7 listed in rom 1.9.

When I built this version, I wasn't able to open up any of my cabs due to a conflict between Cab Manager and the latest version of Comodo (Grumble...). This will also be fixed. It is supposed to be 9.5 as 9.7 will not allow you to do any thing on in Internal storage.

And I have to report some of the bugs on 1.95 too. Coming from 1.5, I feel 1.95 has more bugs.

1. the update PRL/Profile did not work. Click on the icon, nothing happened. I tried to install the cab of sprint prl/profile update which I used for other universal carrier roms, still no go.

I have a feeling this is something with the latest SYS. I have been able to replicate this and I am looking for a solution

2. Opera 9.5 (not 9.7 as listed) opened up ppcgeeks.com failure (ironic). Every time I tried to open the homepage of ppcgeeks.com, it loaded the graphics/texts gradually and then shut itself off suddenly.

Did you turn off plug-ins under settings/advanced?


Gadget, would you please check into this?

I am working on 21874 right now to see if it is worth the upgrade in addition to the dialer. I am also keeping a close eye on 25 development, but as of yet, all the bugs do not warrant a switch at this time, but I am also on the lookout for any other Leo apps/applets/etc to add...

Disabled the plug-in in Opera settings, still failed to open ppcgeeks.com homepage. Exact same thing happened.

And I have another question regarding the opera 9.5 used in your rom. I remember when I first used v1.5, the opera did not have that zoom gadget in the bottom left. And somehow it just appeared out of nowhere. This zoom tool blocked the bottm left of webpage, in the case of some forum pages, that location happens to be the buton of "next page". Now I always have to use the styllus to click on specific page number to jump as my chubby finger could not accurately click on the small number instead of "next page". Is there a way to change this?

I also noticed in the system settings, you added this GFXboost. I googled it and it seems to be something enhance the graphics, but people also blame that it takes more memory. I turned it on but did not notice any obvious effect, what's your thought, leave it on or not?

2nd question, why did you remove showcase? To be frank, the show case icon matched your graphic scheme (colorful icons, idicators etc) better than the stock task manager. And it works OK in previous version.

3rd question, I saw the "upload manager" in system settings, but I did not find any function in camera or album associtate with uploading pix to social network. There has been versions of camera or htc album with social network integration floating around for quite some time, did you use one of those in v1.95? If yes, how could I locate this function in album or camera?

4th, the auto rotation is useful when you want to type extensively, say an email, or play a game etc. New version of G-sensor has been floating for quite some time as well, in which you can use g-config to easily add/remove applications you want to auto-rotate through registry edit, while in previous version of g-sensor you need something like grytor which stays in the memory to acheive the same function.

5th, is there anything I need to pay attention to before I run the battery saving cab? Under what kind of circumstrance could I use it?

Thanks again for the great work.

P.S. you may want to hold for the new release as Calkulin is preparing for the release of kitchen V4.2 . I saw the preview version posted in his thread.

Re: 11-2 | ROM | WM 6.5 | Rhodium 2.1 || GadgetROM v1.95 || 21869

Downloaded new rom--but major problems--I can't download my Windows Live mail even with installing the WL Cab file. My phone is running horribly slow and the battery is just terrible. I liked the 1.7 rom-it was awesome but this one I'm having a hard time with. I flashed to stock first and hard reset device. Can someone please help?
