Im not sure what happened but even after reflashing it wasnt working....had to reflash with the 32mb stock rom which i was able to get back online then reflash with yours....so far everything is working great....great job....question though: What is the account manager option in the settings menu for? It has an option of youtube and facebook...is that to automatically log you into the website or for pictures or something else...thanks

This was a back up to your rom, I tried it after I installed all my programs it frooze, after hard reset I installed spb back up only and it still frooze, in one attempt it gave an error message saying (back up is taking long too respond do I want to cancel) after choosing no it just sits there.

Re: se7en 1-29-08

I installed the ROM, and don't mean to hate, but I could not find a significant difference. As far as navigating throughout the phone, its decently fast, but I find Mightys to be a little faster. Those of you who really like the ROM, how do you go about testing the quality of the ROM? No disrespect to JD, just curious how to go about truly benchmarking the ROM to see what is good about the ROM.

I don't need to benchmark it, It has all of the features I want and has been working great since I've flashed it. No problems for me at all thanks JD

Yes I am a fool and downloaded this mysterious file placed in the Touch Pro area assuming it was a TP rom and to my surprise it works.

Thanks JD, not sure where all the 12marshalls came from and why they feel they have the right to complain about something that you spent time developing, is yours and you are kind enough to share with us.

Thx JD for your contribute =D>,

I've seen this occur in XDA when one person couldn't be greatful, and had to say some foolish remark. This is how it all began and it made the mod quit cooking.. This childish people.. Give the respect that the cooks deserve, the same respect you would want with your hard work/creation.

Enough drama.

JD, great ROM - I think it's the best i've used from ya, ever!

I notice that when a new message is rec'd, and i go to the tab in manila that the little envelope notification at the top doesn't disappear, is this normal?

Thanks again JD...but unfortunately I have VZW. I did however try another xip but it was unsuccessful. Hey, it doesn't hurt in trying I think anyway...how else am I gonna learn. Maybe I'll figure something out later and hopefully be able to use one of your great ROM's that I am hearing (and reading) so much about. Later!

Other than the fact the rom is posted in the CDMA HTC Touch Pro Upgrades section there is very little to know that this is an HTC touch pro rom much less what it includes.
People were expressing earlier this week their opinions about what this board was supposed to be and how "getting there" was a big part of what made it special. In the absence of knowing how you got there it becomes much worse than those of us who wait for you guys to cook roms. It now becomes a faith based rom, which makes the community worse off and just leads to a lot of redundant questions all of which could be answered up front.

Let me say this ... I am a regular a$$ person ..

It doesn't help us noobs to understand your methods nor does it help anyone make educated decisions about what they want to flash onto their $600 phone and then spend the next hour setting it up again.

It should not take much to decide on a rom. No I do not have any pics or any long and drawn out list of apps and when I made the initial post I had plans to update it as I went I do have a life and job that I have to keep up with ... Honestly the first rom I ever flashed was Colonels rom which was not even originally posted by Colonel .. I had to go by the post from other users .

Well said JD. I never understood why people ask for dam pics. Ususally if a cook adds "personalazation" to the theme he would obviously post pics because that is what would be special about the ROM. But for the most part Its all basically the same and YOU the flasher add your own theme to it. Correct if my wrong. Thats just my 2 cents.

Re: se7en 1-29-08

JD has replied 17 times in this thread, so bashing him for something you don't like is uncalled for.

Keep in mind there are tons of roms in this section now, and if you don't like a ROM you can easily install another one.

Someone mentioned 'what made ppcgeeks what it is today.' Family-like interaction is what made it what it is today. JD was pretty clear about what this ROM is all about in the first post, and has been very helpful with all questions asked. All of the proof is right here in the thread, I have no preference towards him or anyone else here. I will delete the totally useless posts but I'd rather see no more AFTER this post than worry about the ones before it.

How does it compaire to Juicy's Roms? I'm using one of his now, and am happy with it, but I'm always looking to try something new and better!
Thanks!

JD 1 question while I wait for my battery to get to 50%, does this ROM have Sprint Picture Mail installed?? I have been using the latest Arcsoft MMS app and prefer its interface, but also noticed issues if sprint picture mail is installed as well.

I've seen ROMs that look great on benchmarks... and are totally non-functional and buggy pieces of crap. JD doesn't go as much for speed as he does quality. Just back up your current set up and flash.

Re: se7en 1-29-08

Let me throw in here as someone who actually used the ROM..My observations, GREAT!!

Just like most of JD's stuff this ROM is great. I got my TP last November and JD's was the very first custom ROM that I flashed. I've since then become a flashaholic, a chronic flasher, flash obsessed, etc.etc.etc.

One thing I noticed about this ROM right away was that even though I wasn't able to change the pagepool with the pagepool changer, this ROM screams. I normally run all of my ROM's with a 32 MB PP. I think someone said earlier that this ROM was set at 6. If that is the case, my question is, JD what in the world did you do to make this thing so freakin fast???

For those chefs who like to cook, you could do far worse than building off of this ROM which JD has so graciously opened up and supplied the ROM folder.

Take it from a chronic flasher, this ROM is worth it. AS for the lack of UC support, shoot, I started using Sashimi as a backdrop a long time ago so UC support is of no consequence to me.

Great ROM JD!!!Thank you

What problems have you had with it, is it including it in a ROM or using it at all? Currently I have Arcsoft 5.xxxx installed and everything works great, send and receive is fast, and I love that it no longer creates a seperate email in box, but instead incorperates the pics into the sms application.

I have been running the ROM since the early AM and love the speed, however I noticed one minor annoyance this morning. When I am having a conversation with someone through text and close out there is still an indication of unread texts from that person. Is there a reg edit for this, or is it something with the sys used? Its not a big problem, but just gets annoying having to open the conversation for each text received from a person.

yes it is normal for activesnyc to stay open or reopen if you close it ... if this bothers you goto the settings for the taskmanager and and it to the exclusive list so that it does not show up in the quickmenu on the today screen ... the notification for emails will not go away until you read the messages or open them at least in tmail

Try opening the text messaging screen and tap menu then pic/video options to see if it is set to auto download, also, if the picture sent is over 500kb it will not even attempt to DL. I know on past versions there were reg edids that could change this, but I have not needed to do that with the new version yet.

Re: se7en 1-29-08

Gave this a try earlier today and found it to be fast with all the features I need.

However, like all versions not built on 19XXX xips this ROM breaks selection windows on several of my medical reference programs. eg. Skyscape Archimedes and Epocrates.I've spent days trying to figure out what's messing up the display on these progs without avail.

So, back to good 'ole JD3.3 for me. Thanks for all your great ROMs JD!
