I also flash for its own sake - it's fun to tweak the phone to perfection. My only issue is I completely rely on the phone during the day to run my small business tech firm so I its painful if I end up with a phone that locks up - especially if I don't know it. I've had wonderful afternoons heads down on a database project thinking to myself, what a blessing everything is running smoothly. Then I lookup to see my client holding his landline phone out telling me that someone has tracked me down about a problem thats been going on all afternoon.

That brings me back to my big question. I think Scott could probably answer it best. Is the lastest kitchen noticeably faster or better in other ways then the Dec 26 version way back in the stone ages of the TP

Thanks,

Doug

Definatley, no question about it. I have been running on a 20931 build for a few weeks now, and it is extremely stable. I've only had one or two lockups, both which happened while I was doing something and are not the fault of the OS. I've gone 5 days without a soft reset, and could really get away with longer if I wanted to push it (I typically do it every 2-3 days just for good measure and force of habit).

20764 is also very stable, and is the last official ROM release. The 210xx builds are definately quicker, but are generally less stable, or haven't been out long enough to tell for certain how stable they are.

SSK 1.5 with either 20764 or 20931 will be very stable and reliable. SSK 1.6 final non-beta is probably going to be finished soon, but it hasn't had quite the shakedown 1.5 has, so a few minor issues may remain. There a couple nice additions in 1.6, but depending on how you load out your ROM you may not need them.

Thanks, that's exactly the info I'm looking for. I'm going to install 20931 this weekend.

You can use either Scott or Bored's kitchen. Both are very well set-up and easy to use. 10 sec lock sounds about right. Anything Scott or Bored have done are pretty stable except the obvious TP2. Once you start flashing you can add the same apps back to your phone much quicker...

So the water level is dropping along the red river but they are now getting some insane amount of snow? Poor Scott.

Has anyone heard from him?

Hey you bunch of psychotic flashers, I IM'd Scott today, and all is well. His house is dry, the dikes are holding despite stupid drunk drivers.

Scott appeared to be in good spirits, and is planning on re-arranging his house (bringing everything back down stairs). He will be able to get back online when he is done with that.

Awesome news.

Did Scott mention anything about the snow they are expecting and if it will effect the area he is in?

he didn't mention the snow, but I did see on the news that the temp is supposed to be below freezing until at least Thursday. Snow isn't such a bad thing, 8 inches of snow = less than 1 inch of rain. It also is a time released liquid. If it melted all at once, it would be bad.
