Also not a fan of HTC sense yet because:

1- No program Tab
2- No HTC task manager
3- No Landscape Mode


Good Things

1- Love a working lock program that actually locks when I press power
2- HTC Sense weather animations..beautiful
3- Animated wallpaper
4- Start Up animations are cool
5- Flick scrolling seems much smoother than previous ROMs

Great sum up. I have the same buggy experiences. I can't use my alarm because my phone's screen locks up when I charge it overnight. It also locks up in my pocket if i don't use it after about 30 min. I have to soft reset to get my phone back on, and I miss all calls, texts, etc. If I set my backlight preferences to never turn off device on external and internal power, I can get past this, sometimes..., but the battery drains in about 4 hours. I think this issue should be a primary concern for the next update. I can't use my mobile phone...mobile-ly, without missing calls, draining battery before I get home, etc. I will make my donation as soon as I feel my phone all-around works better than a stock ROM. No offense, NFSFAN, you are a genius and the BEST chef by far.
I really love everything else about the ROM; I don't miss the programs tab because I can organize the start menu the same way. I know landscape mode is coming, which will be nice, but I have been able to deal without it easily. The nfsfan tabbed texting app is VERY SLOW to load messages when I want to reply from the messages tab, but I usually can get be that from tapping "all messages" which loads the WM default messages program and I reply from there, without delay. So no MAJOR flaws that I can't stand except the constant blank screen locking and battery issues (which may not be the ROM's fault, maybe I should try different radios for the battery issues or maybe my battery is getting old.) Anyone else have the same buggy issues and know work-arounds please help us out! I've noticed my #777 internet connection is constantly on, maybe draining battery...? Wi-fi and bluetooth are always off for me. Maybe a radio could connect to the internet only when opening app, and disconnect after being idle for so long. Million thanks!!

I too have these same problems as well.. but to add to your problem with the tab sms/Sense threaded sms.. I get a black bar about a half inch thick above the input area.. Its annoying because the response from the person Im texting, the letters are black so I cant see what they are saying unless I scroll. Plus it looks ugly. Some of the tabs in the sense can get disorted but tapping the home screen fixes it.

But overall to NFSFAN u ROCK and i choose ur ROMs over all anyday. I kno this is ur first try with the new sense UI and its pretty good so far and I cannot wait to see whats next up your sleeve.

About the task manager/lockup issues
I was having the same lockup problems while arkswitch was running, especially when the phone was charging... I removed arkswitch from the startup folder and installed taskfacade (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=420220) and the problems have disappeared. I, personally, like taskfacade better anyway but probably just because I'm used to it. I also mapped holding the back button to bring up taskfacade.
Hope that helps some of you guys...

I'm trying it out now! I was a little sad at the prospect of rolling back to an older version. I like the new Sense UI a lot.

No joy Seems the only way I can make the phone stable is by not using Sense UI. Hopefully I have better luck with the next release.

Scratch this. My phone stopped letting me execute programs (including taskfacade) so I held down power and pressed yes to turn off my phone. It then wouldn't power on. Pulled the battery and then it powers on. After it finished booting the phone was in a defaulted state and had be go through the screen calibration and all my settings were wiped.

This is the only time I've ever had issues with an NFSFAN ROM

LOVE this ROM! Any cab/mod to modify the quicklinks from 3x2 to like a 4x3? Basically I want more quicklinks.

Love the ROM but i keep having issues with it locking up. I have to reset the phone about 5 times a day. Not sure if its an issue on my end or not but it never happened until i loaded the ROM on.

I love the rom. Very fast and fun. Yes I said fun. Im enjoying it very much. Very detailed, even down to having the phone codes build in.

Question about task mngr. Like most, I like the old way of managing tasks by holding the X button in the open app, and the app is closed. This mngr does not offer that without opening the mngr and then closing app, so I installed e-natives showcase. My question is this. Does anyone see a problem having both task mngrs on the phone at the same time? (conflicts, battery, ect) I dont notice any problem but thought I should ask the pros. I thought about deleting the task mngr that came with this rom using total commander, but I thought I better ask first.

I just flashed this to my tp and like the rom. One think i noticed is there is no "block recognizer" selection under input. Anyway to add this? I learned the palm shorthand a long time ago and would miss it.

Thanks,
