Anyone want to give Chad a call?

I would never reload a complete backup after a ROM flash; you might overwrite some fixed or changed system files. You can safely reload things like contacts/calendar/email - basically your user files.

The updated ppcgeeks site crashes opera in this rom. Update to a newer one from XDA. That worked for me.

Actually I've seen them do this more than once. I'm pretty sure it's pretty normal. I'm sure its probably a Test Phone and doesn't really matter.

I just flashed it. So far the whole thing seems snappier. I'll update as I see things.

When adding an exchange profile in Activesync, you can now right-arrow past the "@" symbol in the email field, so you can use the hardware keyboard to set up the exchange profile without having to tap the screen to fill in that field.

One more thing they've fixed; this is huge for me. I can now finger scroll through a screen like the "Programs" screen without opening a program. On the prior stock ROM I would always end up opening whatever item my finger stopped on. Now that doesn't happen. It truly recognizes that a scroll is a scroll and at no point should it become a selection. Like I said, this is huge for me.

Sending files from my XP desktop to the TP over bluetooth seems easier. I just send the file and it receives on the phone, offering me the option to cancel. I think it used to require me to accept the file even though I had "always receive incoming beams" selected. I'm not 100% sure about this one, but I like how it's working.

The default Voice Command notification option is set to: "Announce notifications through device speaker or wired headset only". I suspect many of us probably set this to one of the other options, bluetooth only or bluetooth if available. Just in case anyone flashes this and wonders why they don't hear VC announcements through their headset anymore.

As others have noted, nice slide to answer addition, I like that touch from the newer ROMs.

This one I'll have to update as I go along, because it might just be because I've been playing around with it and reinstalling things, but after maybe 1 1/2 hours I'm down to 80% battery on my 1800mah extended battery. Normally I'm 70% at the end of the day (9-10pm), but like I said, I've been using it almost non-stop for the last 90 minutes so maybe it's not completely unexpected...

Bad news - TERRIBLE answer delay. You slide to answer and it waits several seconds before answering, and blares the answer tone in the caller's ear. I wonder if this relates to something I have installed. I did not test this when it was fresh flashed.

More bad news - as found a few pages after this - tethering is disabled. Kind of expected that...just be warned.

Thanks for the warning. This is exactly what I'm afraid of. I guess I'll have to determine if the upgrade/changes is worth the time and effort to reinstall all my apps, and the registry tweaks.

the 1.12.34f radio seems to be working better in the Birmingham, AL area... would bounce to verizon alot more with the 1.03 radio.. NFL app still crap... spb mobile shell3 on the new rom with no problems...

I would think it would restore in Rom upgrade mode and should be good, but I never know what to answer when it asks should you overwrite files? Anyone know the answer to that?

This ROM is faster on scrolling through TF3D, it's faster at screen rotation on kboard open/close. One annoying thing is that when you X opera, it just hides and stays running. You have to hold the X a few seconds for it to fully close. Just tapping X hides it and it's not in the programs menu - annoying!

Finger scrolling is improved drastically! Sad to say that it's what it should have been in the first place!!
