I would do it again. I was able to add the GF Round Taskbar, HTC Wi fi Router, etc and it seems fine. My battery seems fine if not better to me. The only thing bugging me is that it tends to flip to landscape more than cooked roms. I think there may have been a cab for that... but yes i would do it again. its the best rom i've seen from a manufacturer.

Yes, I dont mind it frankly. for those having battery issues, there are a couple things to consider. You may want to turn off automatic weather downloads every hour. I update once in a while but really it's pointless to have auto updates. Secondly, turn of weather animations, settings tab>personalize>Home tab wallpaper>animated wallpaper>albums, pick another one on your storage or in my device. Third, if you set up twitter, once again, turn off auto downloads every hour, just do it manually. Four, install hd tweak and enable battery saving (#18 ) or find a good battery saving cab. Five, email setup especially exchange email, set up for sync to manual or a longer duration than push. Honestly, if you are at work, why have it come through on your ppc immediately if you sitting in front of your laptop/PC? Six, if you charge your phone and its says fully charged, unplug it and charge it again for another 15 minutes or so until it goes green again. You will get much better battery life. May sound strange but believe me it works. Been off the charger since 8am today, still at 70% using battery monitor so its accurate. Each of us will have different results of course.

Granted the new shipped in not ideal, but it works well for me and will of course be better once our chefs use it as a base and modify it a good bit.

Just comparing to 6.1? Oh yea it is worth it!

Compared to Custom ROM? Probably not!

I would do it again even though I immediately disabled sense in favor of SPB Mobileshell 3. Menus are still more finger friendly which was the biggest factor.

Sorry for the noob questions..but...

I am wondering the same.

I am curently on 6.1 + GTTL cleanup + SPB shell 3.5 .

I like the SPB shell 3.5.

If I am ultimately going to use SPB shell 3.5., is there any point to update to 6.5.

Thanks

Yes, yes I would.

I would do it again!

I really like this ROM and my battery is perfectly fine.

I have One minor hitch.. i would love to find a way to kill the splash screen when Opera loads, it is so annoying and slow.. but, after that, opera flies...

It s just annoying

Yes i would do it again. Its put together well for a stock rom. my battery life is good and its faster than i expected. I was really surprised =D>

This is definitely true, I do this every morning when I wake up. It maximizes your battery life.
