The comm manager doesn't work through MS3.5 (easily fixed - change your shortcut), but more importantly - it most definitely screws with the HTC dialer functions. If you rely on those features, like to reliably answer your phone, etc... you really should wait until SPB figures out a fix. Which, based on prior experience, may be a long time coming.
Manila (on the TP2) offers a serviceable Stock screen, a solid weather screen, and quick access to your programs. And it's free. It markedly outshines MS3.5 on the TP2 (for me).

I should add...
(1) no noticeable battery drain, not an issue
(2) linkage/integration to some of SPBs own programs doesn't exist or work correctly - which is ridiculous
(3) slows my TP2 down more so than Manila

Again

(1) I was at 205 mA drain using TP2. I'm now at 192-194 mA using MS 3.5
(2) Can you be more specific? The only link I saw that didn't work was the reply button in 3d view for messages. Easily worked around by just TAPPING THE MESSAGE TO REPLY.
(3) No way. I have more memory free (see my first post) now than with TF 2.1. I had 41% used with TF. I now have 39% used with MS 3.5.
(4) Com manager works. I hit it and I'm able to turn on/off the phone, blue tooth, flight mode and wifi. if you'd like I'll make a youtube video proving this.

Please, sir. I made this thread hoping for accurate truthful information on this shell which seems to work just fine despite the naysayers. I honestly tried each problem you've had and I am just not having these problems.
