i still haven't seen any postings as to whether or not the vidoes will play on anyone else's. it sure as heck won't on mine and it's annoying. i think Starrom has a similar problem. there is just something wrong.

also. and i repeat, there is something wrong with the install of this. i just added a program the phone didn't like, then did a hard reset, and now half of my damn programs are gone again (i would think because customizations don't go all the way through). i mean WTF??? this is NOT right guys. and yes, i'm extremely annoyed.

Hey Dark Lord!

I'm going to have to disagree wtih ya here, my customizations ran through just fine on the first try.

Maybe you have a corrupt download?

i thought that as well. i've downloaded about 4 times now. from two different computers and two different internet connections. it's just the damndest thing. i get MOST of them but not all. and the ONE time i did get them, all it took was a hard-reset for some of them to disappear on me again. i'm honestly willing to try this rom. i like many of the features but i just can't get it to install properly so if anyone has any idea what the heck is going on with my phone, please tell me.

Edit. so get this guys, i had downloaded the rom again and was going to reflash, again. i remembered that i had old copy of a boot screen on my card that keeps wanting to reflash automatically so i was going to take it off. but before that, i accidentally went into bootloaded and activated it so it ran. once i reset the phone and got out of bootloaded, the phone started accessing touchflo3d (i could see the keyboard pop up). i then noticed the "Desktop" icon was back and all the programs were back. dudes, i need some really highend tech guy to tell me we what the heck is going on with this. i didn't reflash the rom, i just accidently flashed a different boot screen (which now i delete that file so it doesn't happen again).

Hmm, just to rule out anything else messing up the works, could you try flashing without your SD installed... this way, any SDConfig.txt you may have won't run, etc. Just to verify that it's nothing else on your SD that is causing the issues.

that what i was doing yesterday. i had taken the card out and was flashing without it.


the rom itself is very touchy. many of the things i normally install won't work. i hard-reset for the first problem and everything came back ok, the second time i did a hard-reset, i'm back to square one. i do know that the first time, my battery was at 100% and this time it was only about 60%. i'm going to wait until i get back to 100% and hard reset again.

guys. IMHO, this rom is just not good enough to have been released yet. there are way too many issues. i for one have been yelling the louded about it not being ready a long time ago but to be honest, i'm so frustrated at the resulting rom i wish it had never been released. considering what you guys have accomplished in the past with other roms, this is a disappointment to say the least.

but its just a release candidate. isn't broad base testing, debugging, and problem elimination what an RC is about?
