Hello, Thought I'd give your ROM a try, Was on the Mighty, then the Energy for years. Phone crashed and I thought I'd try yours. I like it a lot so far. Some issues, that I need to reseach and I have not yet. Things like I need to get rid of the shark backgrounds on the mail, and I need to determine how best to manage my tasks. I had everything just so previously and I need to break the mold and try to adjust to something new. I normally used compact startmenu, PocketShield and password locking, I need to make sure they will work.

What's up! Thanks for giving me a try!

I'm not sure on the start menu as I didn't really do any modding in that area. I did try the one that has a "Q" as it's little button in the corner and that one worked on my ROM.

I never used Pocket shield, maybe someone else can speak to that.

Password locking works fine, I used it all the time.

Oh, and if you didn't read through the 1st post totally, you should.

Hey kyderr! Give this Rom a try for a week and you will be hooked. It runs very nice, and has lots of great utilities. It has all the tools to customize it to just your liking! Have fun!

The easiest task manager by far is QuickMenu V1.3 its in this thread Ive linked it several times.

I use to even remove the start menu and just install quickmenu Its freed up about 25-30mb of ram. and its much easier to navigate. That was the one that the Q on the corner if you dont like the Q you can remove it and still tap the corner and it will still launch.

Anyways. I miss my TP2 all thanks to you sharkie!

Sharkie did you get the EVO3d or Evo?

Are you staying with that phone or you moving on to a newer phone anytime soon?

I like the ROM so far. Getting some lockups right after wakeup, but I need to make sure none of the stuff I am putting on is messing with it. I liked quickmenu, but it's hard to use with fat fingers. I have read the first two posts through. Now I need to start my searches on the thread for some answers. I have noticed one wonky behavior.

When in the e-mail tab. When I tap inbox. it's a bit of delay before it loads, it also flashes back to another e-mail account a couple of times before it does. I'm going to do some experimenting today, and do some thread searching for some answers...
I love much about the ROM so far though.

I got an Evo 4G and I don't plan on upgrading anytime soon. I still love it and now that I'm getting somewhere in my ROM building endeavors, I'm having even more fun. There are lots of ports of the newer phones ROMs, so I've been keeping my phone up to date with newest Sense and GB versions.

Sharkie,

Thanks for all your efforts on this ROM, it's allowed me to extend the life of my TP2 (and my g'friends) a bit longer. For months I was drooling over the EVO 3D, but Sprint's policy changes regarding data plans for newer phones... meh.

Anyway there're 2 very small issues with this ROM I was hopeing you might have an idea 'bout. The first, I've been through all the settings I can find, I'm unable to deselect the vibrate that occurs when I click links in IE or Opera. Tends to happen when the new page loads. Know if I can turn that off?

The 2nd is the speakerphone. Even with the option enabled, it never engages anymore when the phone's faced down. Have any ideas?

Thanks again,
Turnkeys

I'll have to load up the phone later today and have a look around about both of those two things. I'll get back to you on those... Good to see you still around and yeah, Sprint being aholes about these newer phones. Even still, I think they remain cheaper than VZW or ATT.

Getting a few problems at this point. Mail is slow. Switching between accounts is very very slow. After I read a message, and close it, it takes me all the way back to sense, it does not stay in the mail app. (after a 10 second delay) I keep getting Opera out of memory errors with one tab open. (I started opera with 40mb, it ran down to 2mb)
I might need to flash with a new page pool..

I don't remember too many people mentioning problems with Mail being slow. A few mentioned opening of mail and WM messaging from Sense being slower than on some other ROMs, but not an overall mail is too slow issue. How much mail do you have on your phone more or less? That I can remember only 1 other person has mentioned anything about closing out a message and it closing out messaging completely, but neither I nor most others had this issue. I can't remember what he/she said the solution was, if he/she found one. I tried searching the thread for it, but I came up empty.

As far as Opera, here's a post with a couple of fixes for the out of memory issue: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/2109587-post3411.html

I believe I uploaded a ROM with these edits and people said they didn't like them in there for one reason or another. Personally, they fixed Opera on my phone and I can't recall getting another out of memory after that. I did use UC Web most of the time though...

The pagepool is set to 12 by default.
