"What I Like About You"

Now that some bugs and other issues have been reported, I feel it is equally important to point out what is working right. It seems to me that a detailed and specific list of a ROM's strengths is far more useful than "awesome! flashing now!", "wow - this is a great ROM!" and "your ROM is da BOMB!" (especially when the same user posts this in every ROM thread he/she has ever tried).

So let me point out what's working right with TSM Resurrection:

Data

: both connectivity and the data directory - things some people take for granted, until they flash a certain ROM and get fc binges, random reboots, bootloops requiring "adb reboot recovery" and a complete data wipe, and having to toggle wifi off and on every time their phone boots (I won't mention which ROM because it might all be in the way I flashed it, which apps I installed, my kernel, or something peculiar to my phone's hardware, w/e - plus, it's actually a great ROM with many excellent features). Anyway, I haven't had any problems maintaining my connection on wifi or 3g, and I have not had any fc binges since transitioning to this ROM.

Look and Feel:

Jaekar99's boot animation is simple, clean, yet effective - it promotes TeamSbrissenMod with just enough eye candy to please, but not too over-the-top so that it actually slows the boot process down. Jaekar99 does great work with boot animations overall, which you can see more of in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1053250

The theme is about as good as it gets when you want to appeal to a wide variety of tastes (and this community has a VERY wide variety of tastes - just ask gunnermike53 heheh). No, it doesn't cater completely to everyone's tastes (some, like me, want more of a departure from the stock TouchWiz look), but it doesn't really leave a lot of people out either. If I had to develop a theme not just to my own tastes, but to appeal at least a little bit to as many people as possible, this is probably the look I would end up with. It's enough to say "I am NOT stock!" while NOT saying "I am a girl!" or "I am a Goth!" or "I am a HTC!" (oh wait, that UKB Sense theme was by you, wasn't it, nitsuj17? heheh)

Love the lockscreen: simple, clean, semitransparent controls, clock/date looks good and is well-positioned, and a little "TeamSbrissenMod" on the top-right (hey, would you rather see "Verizon Wireless" up there? I thought not - moving on, now...)

Nice notification pulldown, too - buttons are sized and positioned just right so you can fit 6 of them in the pulldown without it looking too cluttered. Plus, the neon green works with the rest of the theme, and the button designs are clean. Let's face it - 3d buttons are way overdone, and only a few (like chopperthedog) have mastered the ability to make 3d work without being over-the-top. The transparent background also strikes a good balance between readability and panache.

Functionality

Anyone who has tried to download something other than a jpg or gif knows how valuable Download Crutch Lite is, even if they've never actually opened the app manually - it means that you won't get an error message when you try to download that zip from Mediafire or MegaUpload that you found on XDA or Rootzwiki that will transform your phone to something worthy of Android.

Anyone who has experienced booting to a stock ROM can appreciate how much less time it takes for TSM Resurrection to finish "media scanner running..." thanks to the SD card speed tweaks included.

Conclusion

I could go on and on, especially about functionality, but this post is starting to read like "War and Peace" or some kind of doctoral thesis, so I'll spare you readers at long last :o and leave you with just one more note: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvHKjDKY_O8 ...

Burning the midnight oil, huh?

This happened both on stock EH09 (the hacked EH09 voodoo kernel you linked to earlier) and the first one from comradesven - so far, it's worked correctly for me on comradesven's second version. I should note that the last time when it powered off instead of rebooting was when my Plume and Dolphin HD combo had frozen.
