New ROM VZW 3.04 Shipped - Page 27

Custom ROMs allow for much more in depth tweaking than just overlaying manila files to achieve a new look.. It will let people "cook" a new ROM and rid it of the verizon bloatware and tailor it to their liking. Many will have visual things like Manila 2.5 added and performance tweaks/enhancements. Better yet though, it would allow the cooks to make WM6.5.3 roms. The newer build of WM is more finger friendly and should hopefully help with some of our memory issues.

All these horror stories are holding me back to flashing the new 3.04...

Really it is still worth it, IMO, for the BT fix alone, but the device performance is also much better. Used to take a full second or maybe even two from the time I pressed the "settings" hardware button to the time the screen came up, now, it's nearly instantaneous.

Well, the pause you are describing happens to me only after a reboot, but if you let it boot up and load DLL's like Windows, it speeds up (usually)

Plus , you get a better radio for your phone . I get an extra bar at home now.
If you don't like it you can always flash back to the original shipped rom.
I have been running 3.04 since it came out and have not seen any " horror stories " on my phone.

it has been posted that removing verizon tv will greatly improve battery life with the new rom. i don't know because i removed it within 10 min of flashing but I can say that my battery life has been outstanding -- much better then even the old rom which had great battery life for me as well.

please... if you are posting about poor battery life let us know if you removed the tv app or not.

My battery life is great. Was good on original rom, but after a few days on the new rom(was poor at first)it's even better. I only removed the tv icon.

Delete the key HKLM\Services\MFLORSSI

Restart.

Yer done! Somewhere out there is a .CAB to do this for you if the Registry isn't your thing.
