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

[kevank]

There were some issues with T9 switching back to ABC in the 1.4 build. I believe that this was corrected in 1.5 but I could use some feedback. Is the problem fixed?

Works for me but I only tested it once.

Yeah that was flame. I'll call myself out and admit it, although I don't think tsousan even noticed that. However, I just thought it was a funny way to use your first post. But I guess with responses like mine, he won't be making many more. Sorry Reiss.

For the record I was looking into his suggestion, and learning about CFC and compressed files and planning on sending him a pm later, but now this just sounds like I'm trying not to look like an a**hole after the fact.

Kevan, the tf3d images used in your rom aren't compressed are they?

However, I assume we are entitled to our own opinion.

How was I flaming on anyone? I don't think I can defend myself without looking like an a**, so I'll just move on.

Should I have just not said anything about the post about XWeather? My comment was NOT directed toward amw1972. I think it's a great idea to include a weather program in the rom, I was just providing an alternative. It's up to Kevan to decide
Should I not have have said that XWeather sucked? My bad? I wasn't flaming on that post, I provide a description to an alternative that I felt was better, but I included I link to the post for the download. This saves users from trying to find the programs themselves, and possibly finding an outdated version. I also included the link to the find themes for WeatherPanel for further customization. Didn't realize that was flaming, I thought I was being more than helpful.


I don't think people realize that there is still a lot of customization that goes on after the flash (although not much is needed after this one). Roms are not made as the end all be all. Something like BBEXTREME is just a collection of themes for tf3d. It would provide more bloat than what its worth. However, if that’s what the end user wants, of course use it. Maybe I’m wrong, but I didn’t think that this rom was supposed to provide complete and final personalization for the user.

Have I ever told you what you should/should not do?


I only picked up this rom 6 days ago (only had the phone for 8, and I feel that I've already contributed a lot to this rom. Kev knows, I sent him a couple PMs. A lot of what I've suggested has already been incorporated into v1.4 and on.



I guess if I was really being a bigger person, I wouldn't try to explain myself. I'd just forget about it, and move on, and get back to constructive criticism for this rom, which is what is thread is about. It's just that nobody wants to come across as a bad guy.


So on a construtive note: Kevan, why not include WeatherPanel?

Just got my TP activated today and loaded your ROM on.

I went from Mogul > Iphone > Epix (ew) > TP. Happy to back in the HTC family (and on a network that doesn't suck like ATT).

EDIT: I love how the RUU says it'll take 10 minutes and it takes like 45 seconds. I always believe in setting low expectations and overachieving

For the record, I noticed on my stock TP that T9 never stayed locked and every time I used the onscreen keyboard it would be in the ABC position. Having just loaded your 1.5 it stays locked in the T9 position.

One thing I have noticed, under Settings there is a program called SToday Settings. Clicking on it does nothing. Is that a glitch or merely an artifact from customization?

Any thoughts????


Update: now unable to sync my TP with my computer to re-flash.


Update: finally got it had to do a hard reset and then reflash crazy, still great rom.

this rom takes a while 30 mins or so to run the customs be paitent.

Ok. I was trying to stay out of this mess. Lets make this the last message on the "flaming". GoodGets and tsousan... I don't have an issue with either of you and have listened to your suggestions.

Just keep things positive and feel free to comment on others suggestions... just don't trample the newbies.

Launch SecondToday from the Programs --> Utils folder. Once you have launched it once the settings --> SToday settings works.

[GoodGets]

Agreed

What do you think about including WeatherPanel? I mean with the implementation of Second Today now on your roms, people need something to fill up their extra today space? You could include it, but not activate it, just like Second Today. What ever you decide is fine, cause it's not that hard to install, but I feel that a lot of people use it. Might just be a neat little feature though. I just don't know how hard it would be to include, which is why I don't want to press it.

Or some other today screen weather app, but I don't know of any that are better than WP.
