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!!!

Awesome!

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 did notice on mine, that the volume works, but sometimes when i'm connected to my BT, the volume is set to ring and on the loudest setting, but it only rings through to my BT headset and not the phone ringer. I tried looking at the settings, but everything seems to be in place.

Is that the same problem? Any sight anyone?

I'll have to yield this question to other users. I dont use a bluetooth headset. Too much technology for me ;c)

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.

Thanks for the feedback. If you wish to create a bare ROM simply deselect what you dont want in the kitchen. Leave the core packages as they are needed for operation but pretty much anything else can go.
