I wasn't feeling any of the Nov. 4th 2.5 releases. As you can tell from the 30+ past pages, it's not a prime time release and therefore wouldn't make too much sense to put together a Guide that would do nothing more than invite TONS of "why doesn't this or that work" emails.
I have been installing them and playing with them...about to test out Nov 5th in a bit. If I can get the phone to a decent functioning stage with workarounds, tweeks, and fixes, I'll do a Guide.
The current Guide is for Oct 28th 23081, which is what I've had on my phone this past week and haven't had a single issue. In my opinion, it's the last release with 100% functionality.

You dudes can install a fresh version fo Opera and likely avoid the conflicts you're getting. ...same for things like MyPhone, Windows Live, etc. If the cooked in version doesn't work, try installing the program seperately to see if that helps.

Just FYI - texts will only send in 1x, not EV or whatever your carrier uses. I noticed that awhile ago and thought it was weird, but it's what's up. If the phone doesn't go into 1x mode, it will not send/recieve texts.

Latest Builds with details
Change Logs/Features
Known/Current Issues
Etc.
That way at a glance anyone could get caught up on the latest stuff going on with this ROM without having to scan through the most recent 30 pages of a thread.
We could even have separate discussion threads for each issue of the latest ROMs. Sort of like a mini-forum for each release i guess? Having 7 different versions of ROMs, each with their own issues, all in one forum thread is SUPER hard to manage.
What do you guys think?

Great suggestion - I thought I'd take a stab at this in the past, but it's near impossible to really get something good going. I set up the Guide Thread instead, but that is a bit limited for now. Typically, when I find a new build to be stabe, I post the steps for configuring it [with links to fixes and such].

We have a VGA screen...the port is from a WVGA device, so things like this will be around until someone puts out an update to the 2.5 port. ...same deal with landscape support. I think 2.1 didn't have landscape for a bit. ...patience.

Basically it now ignores the use of the shift key in the actual text input (the light on the phone still toggles properly, but pressing: "shift, hello" produces hello, not Hello unless put in 'caps' double shift mode.
It also ignores function key symbols for all but the ones above numbers, making it impossible for me to enter even basic punctuation, without using the symbol chart, or virtual keyboard.
This has held true from every build oct22nd forwards.
I flashed back to stock sprint, and everything worked normally. Flashed to an older (september) build of energyRom and everything worked normally. Flashing any of these new ones though >= oct22 puts the keyboard input back in this same weird/hard to use state.
(Note: setting the text input settings, including T9, only seem to affect input from the virtual keyboard, the physical keyboard input/state is completely unchanged)

There is something discrete that changed on this though starting with the oct22 builds. before that, all the roms worked fine on their own for this. And unlike prior intermittent problems, at least for me this is 100% repeatable, stock or old energy work 100% of the time, anything oct22 or later have this input problem 100% of the time

He's likely cooking in a different soft keyboard...that may be linked to the base builds or something beyond my noob-mind's understanding. We have a fix, so it's not really an issue.

...it's Keep My Tones, and everyone should have this program! Owns.

There are work arounds [using pop settings], or try installing a Windows Live cab.

If I'm understanding correct, when you go to bootloader [the tri-color screen] Active Sync disconnects? Yes, this is expected behavior...I don't knwo why they reference Active Sync in flashing instructions. the important thing is that yo're connected to the PC via USB. In the tri-color screen, the bottom white section should say "USB" to confirm you have a USB connection active. If it says "serial"...this is not good for flashing.

...is Touch Pro Tweeks cooked in still? That's what I use to change up teh softkeys. I'd need to double check it on 2.5.

Keeping your SMS inbox light will dramatically improve speed. It's a pain, but I try to keep it within the few hundred range if I can. Less is better.

I'm assuming it has something to do with 2.5 being so massive. I'm also not used to NRG ROMs and all the added fluff. They probably run a little higher than I'm used to anyway. What's anyone else on that ROM looking like as far as battery life?

Battery life is going to continue to be an issue, especially as more "cool animated features" are running on our ROM. There are all sorts of battery recommendations in the Guide for getting on better footing. ...check it.
OK...let's see if we can get this new 2.5 release gunning. If it's goldy enough for weekend play and i can get the core functionality working, I'll do up a Guide.
