[HTC ChaCha] MagicalSword:
OK, the ROM runs fairly smooth and, for a good deal of operations, feels smoother than CM7.2, like Lucas said. So, it's not just promising, it's exciting! :-)

The problems I have identified, besides the ones already expressed on this thread, are these:

1) Wifi cannot lock on hidden hotspots. If I configure the wifi but I have the SSID hidden, it won't lock (network out of reach). As soon as I unhide it (sometimes it needs a wifi off-wifi on) it will work and if I don't deactivate the wifi, it will relock again even if I hide the SSID again.

Symptom: wifi won't lock on hidden hotspot

Workaround: unhide the hotspot so the phone locks. You can hide it back after this. If you leave away from the wifi but keep the phone wifi on, it will relock once you are back

How to reproduce: Phone wifi off -> Hide hotspot SSID -> phone wifi on (it won't lock)

2) Physical keyboard and soft menu keys backlight doesn't work unless you have specific brightness settings. Specifically, auto brightness won't set the backlight on. Once you start cycling on the brightness values, it will lit up on darker situation, even in auto, but once you get back to light (backlight off) it won't get back on again. BTW, the auto bright setting doesn't seem to really work very well, it seems to vary a little under 75% and 100%, but it definitely hurts bright in a dark room.

Symptom: keyboard and soft keys won't automatically get backlight on and off as they are supposed to

Workaround: modify the brightness values manually via power widget or sliding your finger over the notification bar (from left to right, setting somewhere on the menus) until the keyboard is lit

How to reproduce:phone on autobrightness on a well lit room -> enter dark room -> keyboard and soft keys won't light up

3) Android terminal emulator cannot open /dev/tty (permissions) This means you cannot perform 'su -' because it immediately goes to background and stops.

Symptom: Android Terminal Emulator app cannot open /dev/tty

"/system/bin/sh: No controlling tty (open /dev/tty: Permission denied)

/system/bin/sh; warning: won't have full job control

app_1@android:/ $ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH

app_1@android:/ $ su -

[1] + Stopped (tty input) su -

app_1@android:/ $ "

Workaround: none so far (?) cannot become superuser from the terminal (I haven't tried using adb, it may work)

How to reproduce: open Android Terminal Emulator app

4) The stability of the system is a bit fragile, and after a while (sometimes a lot of hours, some other times in a matter of minutes) applications start not to work (sorry but "app" has closed), but you have to actually go to Manage Apps and force close it before using it (even Trebuchet itself) or do a reboot, which sometimes is faster.

5) Sometimes, but I haven't found a pattern yet, mobile data seems to get off, you have to go to mobile networks and switch it off and on again... This morning, my battery has dropped from 87% to 53% until I have noticed I didn't have data (I was connected by wifi) and refreshed it.

Otherwise, besides the camera(s) not working (which is not very annoying until you want to scan a barcode and realize you don't have a camera :-P ) and some light instability from time to time, the ROM is really nice and wow!

The battery does drain faster in my normal use when compared to CM7.2 (from about 2 days and some hours to about 16h if not abusing, right down to 4 or 5h if I forget to turn off auto bright :-)

As these and other issues (I don't know if the Spanish ChaChaCha keyboard is yet supported, as I cannot su - and it's the only method I have ever used) are fixed, this will be a wonderful rom and it will give a really strong push to our loved smartphone, I am sure of it ... :-)

Thx adlx and the others!
