as far as the heating up, can you open NueBattery, and disable the fast charge and then charge the phone next time around and tell me if you see a difference? I didint notice anything.

Scott - so far this is the best ROM i have used. I tried Energy, Mighty, Neodium and a couple others. IMO the battery life sucks on all PDA devices if your using exchange with activsync constantly connecting.

I started with teh 6600, 6700, Mogul, TP and now TP2. All of these devices failed to last me even a full day without charging. So im used to bad battery life.

I like the 6.1 interface. Much easier to use. I use mine for hard core business. Not really anything else. I have over 2K contacts in mine and get over 50-100 emails per day and do alot of muli-tasking. So far everything has been working great.

I personally dont like the Sense Interface so i disable and put on a bunch of SPB cabs. All the other ROM i tried had issues with all the plugin that i had, but this one runs smooth.

Kudos to you!!

Thanks for your help with the corrupt file. Still working good!!!

A couple of issues:

Battery drain is faster than stock.

Also, when it charges, back heats up TREMENDOUSLY; I think it has the cycling in and out of charging mode issue as it approaches 100%.

Not as snappy as stock; still trying to run down why (I haven't installed too many CABs yet). Stay posted.

That's about it for now; will update as I learn more.

Ok, I tested battery and got 48 hours from it. Mostly talk and text. Couple web pages but not much. I also think that S2U2 puts a small strain on the battery.

Next Revision... I will drop S2U2 NueBattery from the ROM

Looks like it was the NueBattery addition that was causing the battery issue (and heat as well). Weird, too, cuz I could get 48 hour battery life with Freeza ROM (which has NueBattery built-in).

But, I love the NO FRILLS aspect of your ROM (only 58MB used on phone).

Any ideas on best settings to use to create BARE MINIMUM ROM (i.e., ROM only, with rest to be added via CAB)? I have some ideas, but always up to hear more suggestions.

Thanks again for a great ROM.

Looks like the "safe tethering" protections are not built into this ROM. May want to add that feature.

Also, cannot tell from the kitchen whether the File Explorer add-ons/extensions are built in. Are they?

Great ROM, though. Just needs a little tweaking.

Hi Scott.

I am using your rom. I have one issue to report. There is problem with Volume. I am not sure if other people experienced the same issue. Since I like you rom I thought I will let you know, So that you can fix in the next release.

Thanks,
Satish

I have noticed something like this. Occasionally I will see a call come in, the screen lights up and you get the slider to accept or reject the call but there is no sound at all from the ringtone. It's like the phone is on silent (except its not) but on checking the volume it's still on Max for both System and Ring.

Seems to happen randomly, or at least I haven't been able to track it down. It means I randonly call my phone from my desk to make sure it hasn't slipped into this mode as only a soft reset seems to fix it.

Anyone else seeing anything similar? Or have any suggestions?

TIA

Shameless BUMP

so no-one else has seen this? Maybe I need to try the Posted ROM instead of cooking my own from the kitchen to see if I still get the problem.

Cheers.
