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

[falzon03]

you can change the send pic limit of arcosft....if you download the cab i posted yesterday then you you can set the size limit to 4.9mb

I'm using Arcsoft (included in this ROM in the cab folder) as my MMS client.

yeah ive run into the soft keys dissapearing....its pretty weird but if you use task manager to quit the program and then restart it then it works again....typical windows BS

good:
this ROM is has been running on my phone like a dream for the last month.....as a matter of fact, the reason i have been away from the site is that this ROM has cured my itch to flash?!??!?!?.....thats right, i don't want to flash over this. i never thought that those words would come out of my mouth or ermmm...fingers....

bad:
i missed your PM kev, but i have it now and i will send you something to show my appreciation soon....check your PMs soon as i need a lil more info from you to make sure you can make good use of my modest gift.
because i've been away so long, i know i have so much to catch up on. there are so many updates and new cooks on the scene that look promising, but they'll have to have something really special and amazing feedback from members who's opinion i value to even consider jumping the KK ship for even a minute.

slight bugs that i've encountered over the course of the last month on KK1.8:
1. some apps, most noticably Google Maps("Search" soft key), left soft key's refuse to work. i know my screen presses register bacause i can see the bar change color, but nothing happens.
2. once i had the soft keys completely disappear from the messaging app leaving me without the ability to send msgs....a long overdue soft reset fixed this
3. there is no 3.....this ROM is the bees knees

i am dreading the amount of reading that i have ahead of me....atleast i have nothing to do today except watch basketball.....

This isn't what you asked for, but I thought it was noteworthy. Mighty posted this in one of (hundred) TP2 threads we have here:

All in all not too bad, Not as fast as the traditional TF3D. Landscape is kinda cheesy, it looks all squished in and very unuseful.

Contacts tab is broken, TF3D Restarts consistently.

When i installed the .cabs my clock was an hour behind, didn't notice, came to work one hour late because of that. Alarm went off at 7am meanwhile it was really 8am.

Random access within the tf3d is squished together.

Stocks tab is cutoff the screen.

6-7/10

It's not THAT bad, something nice to play with, but i don't think it's ready for primetime yet.

The new start menu is great but is taking me some time to get used to. Slows things down alittle.

sounds pretty buggy but you want to know what its totally expected and with more time and with the help of the community i bet all the cooks will be getting a good working version on this into their roms very soon!....keep up the good work guys you rock

heyyyyy KK i was just checking out a point ui rom and dude i was wondering if there was anyway you could include an app or w/e to hide the taskbar and the black bar on the bottom in some screens like it does in that rom....it would make the home screen just look better

install went smooth. i even installed the BBExtreme5 theme over top without issue.... there seems to be a little bit of a conflict with KKs ROM though. as i understand it, TF2 is not supposed to have the keyboard popup on startup, but this still happens for me....so something seems to be hanging around from the TFHD. other then that, everything seems to be "fine"

but as others have pointed out there are issues...most are small and someone else posted MightyMikes review which is a good summary, thought i'm sure many more will pop up.

dealbreakers for me:
1. texting is broken on cdma
2. i can't seem to get the programs tab to appear a CAB is included to add it, but i haven't had success with it
3. it crashes a lot on the people tab sub-screens so unless you have someone in your favorates or they're one of the top15 alphabetically, you have like a 5% chance of actually being able to call them with it.
4. it's the laggiest version of TF i've used

this isn't technically a dealbreaker, more of an annoyance...it is NOT uninstallable. i wish i knew that before i installed.....

all that being said, it has great potential and i can't wait for a more complete/stable release...the additional functionallity is awesome. words can't describe how heartbroken i was when i tried to send a text on that sweet interface and got the sim card error... the new stock tab is awesome, as is the ability to reorder tabs. not that i'd ever really use it, but having landscape is pretty cool.

hopefully they make progress on the CDMA text issue because that is huge...but i have a feeling this will be near the bottom of the list in their proirities as most of the xda-dev community is GSM and near the top in complexity...who knows, maybe Sprint will bless us with a proper CDMA version of it in the next official update. but i won't be holding breath for that.

I've been running it for a day so far. I haven't had any problems with this one exception. I just got home and went to plug it in. A warning popped up and said it was about to turn itself off and I should save anything I was working on and asked if I wanted to continue. I've never seen that before.

I also had one appointment change the time from 9am to 10am. However I'm not sure which ROM did that. I flashed another one very early this morning and then reflashed with this one. I've learned that I cannot live without the Rhodium Menu Enhancement, so I must have a rom with 21xxx at least. FingerMenu is okay, but the newer menu enhancement really rocks! I love it! A full day with the ROM tomorrow will be a true test for business use.

I have sent text messages without a problem and installed several cabs. I'm not sure what issues 'yerp' encountered. I do get the keyboard to pop up upon reboot, but it goes away. It didn't seem to lag for me, but tomorrow will be the real test. I'm a power user when it comes to this phone. TF3D2 seems okay. The stock is the only thing that's really added here. I added the Dow Jones just to test it out and it works.

Live Mesh works on this ROM as well. It didn't work properly on Juicy's 4.7 rom. It would run once and then not run again. So far ... I like it. Let's see how the battery does tomorrow and I'll let you know.
