This is kinda off-topic..but oh well..

I completely agree with the developer. He's spent hours working on the thing, he has every right to give the people that donated first dibs on the project. It's one thing if he was only going to give it to people who donate, but he freakin gave it to the public less than 24 hours after he released it. People need to relax. I understand this is probably one of the most anticipated releases for the touch pro/diamond community, but c'mon...relax and show some respect and appreciation.

Initial Impressions

-Phone is definitely slower, but I know for a fact it's due to not being cooked it, it destroyed my free memory from cab installing(went from 72ish to like 22..)

Fix: ROM cooker simply OEMs it in. EDIT: After a few minutes of use, the Rhodium DEFINITELY speeds up, however it is still low on memory due to not being cooked in.

-Default GSensor does NOT work.

Fix: Disable TF3D and then install http://www.everythingdiamond.info/Jm...or%20setup.cab and reboot/re-enable TF3D and it will autorotate.
-Contact tab now works, however clicking on a name results in Manila
reloading.After reading a bit: It seems if you have Beta Rhodium cooked in, then install Cabs over it, Contacts Tab will work. If you're installing over a regular or HD manila, contacts tab will crash.

Workaround: Either go to Phone tab and activate your contacts from there(will use default WM contacts tab), or use your current favorites(for some reason that loads into TF3D contact tab fine)


-Manila graphics are a bit bigger than you may be used to, especially from the HD Manila most of us are accustomed to.

Fix: It's not an issue, just something I noticed.

-World Clock is a tiny bit bigger than it should be in Landscape, but works perfectly in Portrait

Fix: Simply wait for XBmod to clean this up.

-Internet tab links in Landscape run off a bit on the right, but they're clickable and still work great, again perfect in Portrait

Fix: Simply wait for XBmod to clean this up.

-Music tab looks and works perfect in Landscape, was an issue before.

Fix: Not an issue.

-Customize tabs is not functioning correctly in landscape, checkboxes are cut off, but portrait again works fine.

Fix: Wait for XBmod to clean this up, or just use Portrait...

-New TF3D SMS looks beautiful and loads fine, however on any attempt to send a message it will give you an error "SIM isn't inserted into the phone."

Workaround: Because I can't exactly imagine a fix for no SIM card on CDMA, the work around is to just hit "All Messages" or "Inbox" on Messages/Email tab, this will load it into default WM messaging.

-TF3D Call History works great in Landscape/Portrait

Fix: No issues.

-Programs tab isn't working for me. I tried to install the Cab, didn't work, oddly.

Fix: Not really sure why this isn't working, I'd watch over at XDA. Workaround is to just use Start -> Programs

-Adding new favorites isn't functioning.

Fix: Alright, it's kind of working. It's not allowing me to add pictures, but it added the person

Overall so far: Rhodium TF3D basically covers up all of the ugly WM interfaces and replaces them with beautiful finger friendly flowing interfaces, however it is buggy, but is a very solid first beta.

Should I use it yet? No, unless you like being on the cutting edge. There are a few bugs that make it still a bit unstable for daily use, namely the contact tab. It's a shame we can't get our TF3D messages working quite yet, I'm sure there will be fixes out soon for it.

I'll keep you updated of course.

I tried another ROM that was VERY beta, but once the bugs are worked out, this thing is going to be AWESOME!

[apristel]

is it uninstallable?

Personal Quick Review:

All in all not too bad, Not as fast as the traditional TF3D. Landscape is kinda cheesy, it looks all squished in and very unuseful.

Contacts tab is broken, TF3D Restarts consistently.

When i installed the .cabs my clock was an hour behind, didn't notice, came to work one hour late because of that. Alarm went off at 7am meanwhile it was really 8am.

Random access within the tf3d is squished together.

Stocks tab is cutoff the screen.

6-7/10

It's not THAT bad, something nice to play with, but i don't think it's ready for primetime yet.

The new start menu is great but is taking me some time to get used to. Slows things down alittle.
