Who made the change from MIGHTY 4.16 to Copper

[AxeYrCat]

I am back on MR 4.16.

I will say that I really liked Copper more, but the fact that I need to be able to count on all of the features of my device at any given moment (I mean, that's why I'm rocking a "smart device" instead of a feature phone to begin with), and the fact that I felt like Copper lacked some of the features I like/need, I went back.

Is that Copper's fault? Hell no. As has been said, Copper is intentionally a VERY slim ROM, quite intentionally and rightfully unashamedly bare-bones.

When there are some tweaks further down the line as far as 6.5 ROMs, I will definitely have one. But I don't know enough to want to cook one up myself, and I'm pretty happy with MR 4.16 until a 6.5 build that has everything I want/need built in.


Copper is great to see what things will come, and I'm all sorts of excited about those things now -- much more so than I was before I tried Copper.

But for now, patience.

what is it exactly that you needed that it doesn't have? i don't think there's anything out there that other roms have that you can't find in cab form

I'm flashing now...I've been out of the loop with ROM's lately so I didn't know Mike put out a 6.5 ROM.

I have never run 6.5 so we'll see how it goes. I know there were some bugs with previous builds of 6.5 that chefs had put out, so I'm a little weary going in. I love bleeding edge technology though so we'll see

I was getting lower signal strength despite being on the same radio (1.11.00F), and I was having issues connecting to WiFi (it would connect, but I couldn't access mail or the internet via that connection).

As far as programs, yes, I could have snagged everything in cab form, but after several soft resets and a couple of hard resets on Copper, I decided that it wasn't anything that was going to be easily remedied for me.

There were also a few other little things that I missed, but nothing substantial -- and, as you mentioned, things that could have most likely been achieved with some programs, but I didn't want to take the time to set all of that up when signal/connection issues were already sort of a deal-breaker.

Good thing we are back on topic. I for one, agree 100% percent with having sub-topics on comparing MR 4.16 and Copper. No need to see whiney-girly comments on XP vs Vista or calling people idiots for OS preferences. It keeps the main Copper thread from filling up with senseless trash...

With that said, I had a tough time familiarizing myself with 6.5. We all have been spoiled with the stability and reliable cabs available for MightyROM4.16. But it was very clear when Copper was released, of being a very lite ROM, with just the basics. Its makes for a very costumizable ROM. Obviously wm6.5 is the direction Microsoft is gonna take. Although, there are more functional ROMS with tons of apps already cooked in for wm6.1. This gives me the chance to learn the new GUI and complete setup.

Like someone already mentioned, most of the basic cabs are available, but some are still are on trial n error status.

So either jump on the wagon now and figure out the kinks. Or sit back with 4.16 and wait for MightyROM5.

Don't like the Comm Manager...I can't turn off Direct Push...I don't like it on when I don't need it on and I do not want to setup schedules.

yeah, copper is definitely fast and slick. i'm going to be using it until mighty or juicy release a loaded version.
