P:S i know its been talked about before but i know groovefish is a lil jacked up but ive downloaded everything and every option to fix it and no luck. any body else find a work around?

thanks again for your time everyone

Hope you got your problem fixed, but I wanted to make sure your aware that this ROM is pretty much dead as Josh has given up on it. they have some new and updated 6.5.3 ROMs out. I been switching ROMs myself and tried a few different ones, the one I am using now is Lunacie, very nice ROM and he's continually updating it, just wanted to pass along some info.

Yeah I agree. Im going to flash energy rom right now actually. Its too bad too because I think empirom was the very best rom ive ever had. hopefully Josh comes back and updates soon because Id definitely flash back.

Indeed, it appears to be abandoned. Still enjoying it though. Will probably update to a 6.5.3 ROM very soon. I read somewhere that the Energy ROM was brutal on battery life. That was a few months back. Does anyone know if that has been improved?

Well I don't know about Energy ROM, but I have used Haze 1.7 (good ROM and pretty good battery life), Cobra (battery life sucked for me and didn't care for some of the cosmetic stuff, i.e. icons forked up) and now I'm on Lunacie and so far so good with battery life and all the functions I have played with have worked, plus it's using Sense 2.5, and he's updating constantly, so thats the ROM I will stay with for a while. One thing I have learned in my short time on PPCGeeks is that you have to find a ROM and ride the wave until the Chef stops and then move on to the next. I agree that EmpiROM is a good ROM but without updates from the Chef you can only do so much and stay on the forefront of the ever evolving technology around the PPC world, just my 2 cents.

+1 on that. I've also been rocking Lunacie Rom this whole week and soo far I'm really liking it.

Good to know. While I have slowly gotten used to this rom and just getting it how I like it, I am jumping ship and Lunacie looks like a good one. Thanks!

EmpiROM, we had some good times but time to move on.

if your used to the batterylife of empirom,your not gonna believe how shitty the batterylife is on lunacie.

Yeah, so I went to Energy Rom and had loads of issues, mainly with sms and mms which is pretty much the number 1 use of my phone. Switched to lunacie and love it. 2.5 is pretty cool and Lunacie removed the messaging program (htc?) from the rom all together so it worked right out of the box. Battery life sucks but such is the way with TP's I notice. Anyway it sounds like the cook isnt going to be updating Lunacie anymore due to his computer crashing (sucks huh) so I might be switching to a whole new rom at the next update.

Sorry I lied, Im using indagrooves rom! LOL

[WAH]

i went back to empirom and will stay there until something comes out with equal or better batterylife.

Empirom is the benchmark for all others, but I hate going back to using the finger-unfriendly UI.
