Wow after using each for a day or two I am having a REALLY hard time now deciding between 20931 and 20954. I can finally ditch 21109 as 20954 has all the same positives as 21109.

as I mentioned earlier, 20954 is rediculously fast in some areas, seemed really nice overall, but I was getting random "pauses" when tapping the touch screen a lot. 20931 is also fast, faster in some ways, not as fast in others, but doesnt seem to suffer from the random pausing nearly as much (though it does still happen occasionally).

both builds have been stable (but have locked up on me at least once, usually when using Opera).... I cant decide which to stick with!

SCOTT! which do you prefer?? 931 or 954?

Bast,

I've had the same debate and can't decide either! Next up would be a battery drain test, but that Bob's area of expertise...

Bob, care to run some battery drainage tests on these builds?

Other than that, I would be curious to see how SPB MS3 performs on these when it's released next month. That and the power drain would do it for me.

In the mean time, I continue my quest to master SASHIMI/Makisu-- S&M, as I fondly refer to them-- and then I will be set. Once this is done, I will be able to load test these builds, as I install 50+ apps after flash: I like lean/clean but functional ROMs, and these builds with the kitchen provide just that.

About the only other area I would like to see refined- if possible- is the "sounds." I know WM and some of the OEM packs use certain sounds by default, but I like to keep my sounds (Alerts, Alarms, Rings) in a structured folder hierarchy under Windows, as I dislike files just dumped into the Win folder. I'm not sure if removing some of the larger WAV files would create a smaller ROM image, but any memory saved for the VZW TGimP helps. The problem I run into is that most of the SYS/OEM sounds are ROM after flash, so I can't move them, and I don't know how to modify the default path locations in the kitchen, or whether I will "break" anything by doing so.

Overall, Scott's ROMs and Kitchen Rock Star, and I enjoy this forum and thread immensely!

OK, I get the hint....but it will be a while...I"m leaving for FL tomorrow, and my time to run tests will be limited....Plus, while I'm down there, I "borrow" a neighbor's wireless link to get online....if he shuts it down, I'm screwed (unless I learn how to use the phone as a modem)

Phone as a mode.... Just plug it in and select internet sharing. Booom!

Started the morning with 10 flashes ahead of me.... Down to about two now...

After the next couple I zip and upload the new Rev C2 Core Kitchen and the new CE OS 21015 SYS Files as well as a new Bonus ROM based off the same.

Site is already prepared for the new files.

Even though I have an unlimited data plan, don't they (Verizon) charge you when you use it as a modem like that?

UPDATE #14.5: The Rev C Kitchen has been rebuilt and is functioning as intended now. I have tested on 5 of the 6 major sys files downloaded from my site. All flashes were fine! I will be working ona ROm to introduce the new SYS files. I will be an R4R Styled ROM.

Back to work for me......

Unlimited is not truly that though.... read the fine print... you will be charged if you go over 5GB in a months period.
So be careful, with that!

Otherwise they cannot tell if you are surfing from a phone or computer.

Thanks for the tip...I have a hard enough time reading the large print, not to mention the time I have with the fine print.f
