[3-9-09] KK's Loaded ROM v1.8 Sprint and Others [OS 5.2.21015 Build 21015] [UC]

[blazingfate]

Is there just a separate list to download the cabs in this ROM. I'd like the new Pandora and stuff like that from this ROM but cant find such.

what happen to the new ie 6 browser that was in in 1.5?

[amw1972]

Ok, I'm still on 1.5...and been having the following issues:

-on soft reset, TF3D does not load automatically...phone gets stuck on a blank today screen...all buttons (hard OR soft) are non responsive

-at times, the inbox soft key on the email tab OR the all messages soft key on the messaging tab becomes non responsive.

-have experienced the keyboard lag issue during email/text entry only once (soft reset took care of that.)

Does 1.6 resolve any of the above issue? I have only installed wmwifirouter, galarm, arcsoft mms on top of the initial ROM flash...if it matters at all.

thnx


OK, just reread a couple to about thirty pages back...think I'll just flash to 1.6 and see if my stability issues get resolved...

also, I've done some chopping and cropping and not sure where to post some 480 x 640 backgrounds to share...can someone point me to good site to do that?

Couple samples of backgrounds that I edited for my TP...

Same here.

I disabled Touch Flo, then soft reset. Then reenabled, and it is working again.

(2) small issues... Had this problem on 1.5 & 1.6 for both, my symbol key on the hard keyboard does not work, and the weather database editor gives sql errors. The editor from 1.4 worked like a champ though.

Also, I've asked before, but haven't received a response... Any way we can get Total Commander in a future release?

--I haven't installed any other software on the phone.

TC will be included in a future release. I will fix the weather database editor in the next release as well.

Still on 1.5, and based on the changelog, I see no real need to jump to 1.6. I believe I'll wait for some more major revisions to take place.

I absolutely love this rom. My only complaint is at times, the phone bogs down, and is slow to react. TF3d in particular... I will slide to select my tab, and it will occasionally "stick" on a tab, with the description displayed above, and I have to click the tab again, or hit the home key to get it to snap out of it. This is even with a 32mb PP (bumped it up from 24 as I figured a little more room could only make it easier to breathe).

This slowdown includes the hardware keyboard when typing texts/emails/anything. Granted, everything I type is buffered and eventually makes it onto the screen, versus the stock Sprint rom that drops after about 10 chars, so I really cant complain too much about that. Every keypress and click I make is buffered and executed when it can be done, which is a big plus.

I do have a couple questions, if anybody can answer them.

On the Messages tab, I see two magnifying glasses, I assume for zooming. They dont do anything other than flash when clicked. What is their purpose?

On the statusbar, to the left of the EV icon, there is a gray icon with a light gray circle...looks like a full moon. It also does nothing when clicked. Whats it for?

With regards to roaming settings, what is the difference between Standard, Automatic A, Automatic B versus Home/Roaming?
Since I have no idea, I've done some testing over the past several days (Sprint v1.11.00F radio, prl60650).
My test reults:
Home: Works as it should..home network (Sprint) only, w/ EVDO
Automatic A: apparent equivalent of Home (Sprint) Only, but 1xRTT only
Automatic B: Seemingly proper "automatic", switching between roam+home, with a bias towards 1xRTT, but allowing occasional EVDO if I'm lucky
Standard: apparent equivalent of Roaming Only, with only 1xRTT data
Roaming Only: proper roaming networks only, with a bias towards 1xRTT data

At home, the only available coverage is roaming. As such, I have no idea what selection I should be using for the best experience. I prefer the old options: Home(Sprint), Automatic, or Roaming. What exactly is supposed to be the difference between the above?

Either way.. KK, you've done a fantastic job with this. I am one seriously happy camper. Keep it up!
