B2B?

the good: FAST
very fast... with lots of free memory... luv it!

the bad: UnStAbLe
multiple issues with GPS
reflashed ROM..3x. using GPS fix and subsequent cabs.. still unstable.
every time i reet phone HTC GPS tool behaves differently.
Not once can TomTom get a GPS lock (MAJOR bug)
Phone randomly resets or locks up on random apps. (MAJOR bug)
TF3D Config will not launch (minor... but, this really sucks)
plus a few other annoyances... sigh.

really need this much free memory with 'stable' 20764 R4R.
flashing back now.

Hmmm...

I've been using 21015 for days now and aside from the occasional lag-lock that Bast and a few other have mentioned, I have not had ANY GPS issues. I'm using both TT 915.9196 and GXT 5.00.20W, full NA/USA maps, heavily customized and no issues. Heck, I even had them both running simultaneously the other day just for laughs and giggles as I drove around, and not one problem, though they did suck 20MB of RAM. Thankfully, SSK 15C2 allows me to get about 62MB free after disabling TF3D... woo hoo!!!

My acid test for any ROM is GPS performance, and so far 21015 has been a winner for me. That being said, I will be doing some further tests on 20954, as a number of posts here have pointed to that build being the best mix of performance and stability.

FWIW, I also run PocketShield with S2A dialer, along with about 50+ other apps and have no issues.

I use SASHIMI to do all my cab installs post flash, and currently trying/struggling to finalize full customize/provision using that and CERegEditor (for reg diffs) and Resco Backup Desktop (for file diffs).

Anyways, my point is this: I have used Scott's Kitchen and ROMs on both XV6800/Titan and this XV6850/TGimP platform, and they are-- hands down the best tools out there for the VZW platform

Scott, send U a PP payoff for my "fix-addiction" yesterday, but didn't receive word you got it; please let me know, and thanks again for all U do for this community of Geeks... whoo haaa!

No, but PM Scott and he may put you on a beta list. Heard him mention it a few pages back.

Well I have been running a kitchen-cooked 20954 ROM for the last couple days and I really like it. Stable as a rock and I've been using the hell out of it. Haven't had ONE lock up and the random pausing has been minimal. Fast as heck too.

As mentione previously, I've tried just about every 6.1 build version that Scott has offered in his kitchens and it really came close between 20954 and 20931, but 20954 has the speed advantage on MOST things.

Very happy with this rom though, thanks Scott!

Yeah, 21015 is fast but I doubt its stability. Had a few random reports....

I cant delete. I have no more super powers on this board than you do ;c(

Right now anyways...


Wouldl you guys be interested in signing up to YAF? Lets say this forum was hosted entirely by me and on any subjects you want about the ROM. Maybe a entire board for each build?

Maybe some off topic stuff.... Maybe look like this?

Please run 931 or 954, we now 20764 is the most stable... I think 931 and 954 are faster and stable.

I dropped 21015 because it acted funky on me once or twice with GPS. Only when using VZ Navigator and the VZW drivers for it. I got pissed and just gave up for now. The rest of the builds are finew with GPS which is why I am going back. GPS is a MUST for me. Not even going to keep the phone if I cant have GPS ;c(

The build reacts differntly with GPS apps than the other builds. For example: VZ NAvigator will NOT run... even with the correct drivers...

I have seen things like this before between builds. There is a build out there that will not run any older SPB produts correctly as well. SPB had to make some updates. I dont think VZW will for VZ Navigator as it shoudl only be used on Stock ROM.

Plus it could just be a poopy sys file set. You never know.

Right now I am back at 20954.... Still think its the best....
