No idea about anyone else, but I've never had an issue so I just use the default setting.

With any ROM I've used, I have never unchecked "Enable faster data synchronization". So, yeah mine is checked too.

With the swinn ROMs, I've not had to do anything special to enable ActiveSync as the default usb connection type-- the screen to choose connection type pops up automatically and I get a few seconds to choose.

Lets go through these options so we can be clear what we're talking about. There are two screens relevant to the topic:

Connection prompt screen:
ActiveSync - the 11 pin proprietary HTC USB cable is required. Obviously, this allows your phone and your computer (with Outlook installed) to sync contacts and calander and tasks and the like. ActiveSync allows you to install and manage programs on your phone (but I've never done it) and allows you to browse the phone data system including the storage card. Additionally, the phone, itself, also retains the ability to access the sortage card.

USB - This is simply connecting the phone is Mass Storage mode. No special drivers or software required, Can be done with a standard 5 pin mini-usb cable. Ostensibly faster data transfer, but only to the storage card. When connected in Mass Storage mode, the phone will lose the ability to "see" the storage card.

Internet Connection Sharing - You should never have to check this as launching ICS from your phone chooses this connection type automatically.

Start -> Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC
Only has the the first two options with the checkbox under ActiveSync to "Enable faster data synchronization" with the note: 'Clear this checkbox if ActiveSync does not recognize the device'

My setting is "Enable faster data synchronization" and I've had no problems with it

u can activesync with just about any mini-usb cable.

That is certianly not my experience. My experience is the 11 pin cable is required 1) fully charge the phone, and 2) be recognized by ActiveSync.

Here's something I've been wondering about: has anyone with this ROM or any other ROM been able to connect to a shared resource on his local network?

I've only ever used standard mini USB cables. I couldn't even tell you where my HTC cable is!

Yeah I just grab whatever cable is closest to me. Never had an issue.

Either you're lucky or I'm not.

Do you guys think that Lumos is the best app of its type, or is there something else I should use for auto backlight management?
