Okay. Will check. Not liking some of the weirdness with the new No2chem rom. Just make sure you are trying to use more than 2GB of the 4gb SDHC card, as I am sure I can use the first 2 GB of my 6 GB card, but not the remaining 4 GB.

HaHa, just wait until no2chem's next release, then you'll be back to WM 6.1

I switched to no2chem after using Sampsons Rom last year. Although I thought Sampsons was fast and handled memory waaaay better than any WM6 or 6.1 rom, I could not live without sdhc and BT. Now with this WM5 rom, I have the speed I need, the memory I crave, BT and no Today screen glitches. Very stable release with a pretty good package of installed apps. My autoinstaller made adding all my favorite apps a breeze. BTW using opera 8.6 on my Redfly to type this post. I will keep an eye on the no2chem revisions, but this is better than a prerelease in my opinion.

Keep up the great work no2chem. I am sure to be back in your fold in the future.

I went from 5067 to this rom, and I recall the old Sampson's rom being a lot faster, and less glitchy. I grew tired of this rom, thinking that it would be a lot faster than No2Chems, but I guess imho, I was wrong. So I flashed preview 7, and although with its bugs, I think I'm gonna stick with it.

Thanks though for the WM5 rom!

so you guys who have previous sampson experience think this is slower than the first wm5 release? after trying everything in january i switched to wm5 and it was blazingly fast on this device, i just couldnt live without gps.

so now im on the fence and dont have a lot of time to spend backing up flashing testing etc. if this is only similar in speed to no2chems latest then I would probably want to go with that b'c i like the little things, but if its a huge improovment in speed then i'd be willing to go without.

It seems about as fast as No2chems latest. I checked the pagepool and it is set at 6 megs (so some room for improvement there). With all my usual crap loaded, I am normally down to 15 megs on No2chem, but here I am at 20 megs. Out of memory errors are nearly a thing of the past (still get them on opera 8.65, when browsing as a desktop browser on the redfly). My acid test on speed is the time taken to open the Windows folder to view the files there. This rom is faster at that than no2chems IMHO.

Will have to see what no2chem puts out. I will switch back for more memory, speed and features, but considering the glitchiness of the recent previews, I am happy to have control of my Today screen back.

it would be nice if no2chem can tweak this wm5 rom up too. i'm sure he's gotta be kinda bored with 6.1 and wouldn't mind a new project to mess around with.

I asked him to come look at it but think my post got ignored. i tried theedon's .nbh first but there were a few things in it that i don't use, so i created my own using the kitchen.

I agree... I wish someone like no2chem would spend a few days refining this rom too.... I'm really not a kitchen guru. I can do a pretty good job of customizing my peronsal rom but I don't really know the inner working well enough to optomize the rom... no2chem could probably get back 2-4 Megs of memeory... pusing this rom up to ~30 MB free... I think that would be the ultimate rom....
