Ok one personal asthetic request? I know that VistaHide is the culprit on the keyboard lag, so that's a deal breaker... but could we try Batti in the next build? It's just SO much prettier.

Other than that... I'm loving it and keep up the good work!

I have read that Batti causes some of the same battery drain and delay issues. My plan for the next release is to install the battery meter as a cab. That way folks can remove it and install whatever they want.

I will try to get this built into the ROM. Defiantly not in the next release but possibly the one after.

I will look into this one. I don't use S2U2 anymore but it would bug me too.

1. from a soft reset, and a minute to fully load(something i think many impatient users don't allow before playing), TF3d seems to run beautifully, even with the beefy themes that i've tried.
2. along with the long startup-load time that i just mentioned, it seems that starting apps/games takes longer then my last ROM as well(Yay4Juggs 4.0). however, once the ROM/app/game does load, it is generally fast. i'm not sure exactly what would cause this behavior, but i have suspicions.....i'm leaning towards the pagepool size or the 3D drivers, but have yet to try different ones......then again, this is the first ROM with a WM build > 20000 that i've tried, so i could have something to do with that.
3. donno what build of Opera this is, but i HATE it....the scrolling is not fluid unless you go slow and there is little to no "flick/inertia scrolling".....this may just be the fact that i've been on Yay4Juggs 4.0......the tail of his ROMs thread is peppered with people asking him how he got Opera running so well in his ROM, but unfortunatly no respose from him.

1. It is a long boot up for this ROM. I believe that it is related to the number of OEMs used when building the ROM. Many extra files are placed in the \Windows directory. This goes along with part of the cab install strategy.

2. This could be related to #1 but it could also be PP. I will test with different page pools and see what works best.

3. This is the Opera build that came with the leaked Diamond ROM. I have since switched to a different build for the next release. (This was already being install via cab... you should be able to update it.)

Let me know. I wanna track down any battery issues if they exist.

I like Task Facade. Works great and looks good. I could get 4.0 beta to run stable so I when with 3.8.5. Taunt away!

i know u've got OEMs for lots if not all of the games you have in this ROM, but there is a CAB on the xda Raph Software forums called SuperArcadePack(3.3) that has most of the games you include + some good ones that you don't (UNO, Yatzee, ICBM). i personally, just installed the cab on top of the ROM and i haven't found any conflicts, but it might make sense for you to remove the duplicate game OEMs and use the SAP .cab during the first boot. you could even make it the last item installed in autorun so users that don't want all of the extra games can cancel/softreset to leave them out(i think that would work....). it's a personal preference call that i leave to you, but i just thought i'd float the idea.

I was already leaning this way. (Opera install....) I am planning to do a number of changes in the next rom and move several of the OEMs to cab install for updating. I will also look at the games cab you mentioned.

Thanks for all the feedback! Keep it coming.

v0.8 is up. Link is in the first post.

[+] Opera Mobile 15316 - Loades much faster.
[+] Juggalo's Flash Bundle
[+] MS Live Search 4.0.12158.1 with Bird's Eye View
[ ] Opera, LVM Battery Meter, Live Search and Google Maps are installed during cusomizations.
[ ] They can be removed / upgraded if needed.
[ ] The autorun customizations take a while, just wait.

Overall this ROM seems faster. Let me know what you think.

**kevank** · #**155** (**permalink**) 01-19-2009, 05:57 PM

Just an FYI - There maybe another release. If you hate setting up everything after a flash. Wait - 0.9 should be out tonight.

Lots of additional games and hopefully TCPMP.

I used to be able to scroll through them on the camera tab. The other thing I noticed is I cannot log in to wellsfargo.com from Opera anymore and with the stock rom I was able to log on. The error I get is a security warning and I need to upgrade to a different browser which I did not receive on the stock rom. Any ideas on a fix maybe reload the stock Opera program? I was also wondering if you planned on adding WM Wifi to a new release. Other than that it seems to be working pretty good.

Thanks alot Man great work!!!

About wellfargo.com. Another user just answered my question about this because I was having the same problem.

Heres the fix.

Cool. Does that enable spoofing or disable it?

I don't think it enables or disables spoofing, just changes what user agent Opera is letting know the websites it hits. Not sure though. Didn't even know about the the Opera:config url. Gives you all kinds of options to play with in Opera.

Thanks for the update on that bestjudge! I was little slow on the draw there. (See post #159)
