Mal: Also notice that Opera has posted a newer/faster beta of Opera 10 mobile. (Opera 10 mobile beta 2u) its essentially beta 3.

I really loved this ROM but it suddenly started acting up and all my contacts disappeared so i tried soft resetting and then it completely froze in the starting windows animation and would not load any further. So I had to leave the ROM, otherwise I really loved it, I'm not exactly sure what happened but my phone became unusable and i tried soft resetting multiple times and waiting for 20 minutes to no avail. So i reset into bootloader and flashed to a different ROM. Other than that this ROM has been absolutely great.

Im glad that you that someone agrees. Mal Needs to be careful now that his ROM has become popular and not allow too many people requests to mess with the rom itself.

I think Everyone needs to learn Sashimi before they can mess with ROMs at all... it makes these cab requests alot easier.

Killer... im sorry to say, but I think it might be an issue with the Hard SPL. Have you made sure you are using the latest release of it? If you havent, just go ahead and download it and run it quickly... it should help with that mess.

MAL.... Might want to talk to Mighty Mike about the Contact Disappearing issue. I think a ROm of his had that problem earlier. he hasnt really messed with 6.5.X, but Im sure he appreciates your clean cooking style.

Wait what do you mean by make sure im using the right HardSPL? shouldnt I only have to do it once? I unlocked my phone on the first release when it had just came out do i need to keep HardSPL'ing it in order to make it work correctly with the ROMS? for clarity I have RhodiumW-HardSPL_V1_10R3_100HSPL which I used to unlock my phone. I havnt had that problem with any other ROMS, though with mighty's Project ROMS I did have the issue of the phone freezing and then when I soft reset it acts like it was hard reset and all my data is gone and does a first boot again. Not exactly sure whats going on, never had this problem with the 6.5 ROMS I ran or 6.1 just 6.5.x

There have been 2 revisions to the HardSPL since its initial release. There are usually reasons behind having updates and some of these were meant to adjust the code i.e. fix bugs.

A lot of the custom ROMs were having an issue where the device would spontaneously hard-reset (there's a thread on it) as well as some other associated quirks. Even I've seen that behavior on other ROMs.

In order to properly rule out extenuating issues and confounds, it is absolutely necessary that we are all on the same page i.e. we all have the latest HardSPL.

Once we know people are on that AND if they are still having problems, then we can move to the next level of diagnosis i.e. the ROM. This is just how science works. Otherwise I may be chasing ghosts.

To reflash with HardSPL costs nothing and does not wipe out the data meaning your current ROM is preserved. So there is ZERO downside from doing it as it only take about 10 seconds to flash. (Though one could argue that re-flashing the ROM after the new HardSPL would be even more preferable, since the HardSPL directly influences how the ROM is flashed in the first place).

Not having this issue on other ROMs actually means nothing since there is no way I can know all the dependent/independent variables (HardSPL, ROM, Settings, installed software, usage, etc.)

For all I know, you have corrupted data from the flash, which is why it is recommended to hard-reset after you flash a new ROM. Just saying, there's a lot variables here, I'm just trying to control what I can.

>>aGPS Quick Fix for all current ROMs<<

Even I goof once in awhile.

Attached is an aGPS fix for this ROM. Of course this will be fixed in the next release.

For now, just install this .cab and soft-reset. aGPS now should work indoors.

So your saying I should just download the latest release from the website and act as if I was unlocking my phone again even though its already unlocked right? No need to relock it and then use the latest HSPL to unlock it again? jus flash as if it was a ROM following the HSPL directions? Ill try and then flash back to this ROM and see what happens. thanks for the clarification.

Darren, thanks alot for the mp3trimmer cab. Do you or someone have a cab for the voice recorder included in MM's ROM?

I've noticed on this ROM that when you soft reset the weather animation on the home page works fine for awhile and then it stops working for some reason. Even after I make manual weather updates it still will not show the animation on the home page. Is this normal for this ROM? Also I can't seem to find the option to use the keyboard sounds. Am I overlooking this or is it just not included in this ROM. It's really no bid deal because I can do without it.
