So far ...

Here is what I have experienced so far ...

This rom has SOOOOO much stuff on it to play with. I will be buzy for a bit tweaking this one.

Maybe you can provide the list of programs included in the ROM again? You deleted your messages in the original thread which included the list of items.

1. My screen starts to get garbled sometimes for a few seconds and then returns to normal. It doesn't seem to affect anything. I am guessing this is some kind of driver issue?

2. Some of these programs seem to be a bit redundant. For example, this XP-themed psShutXP program ... why would anyone want to use that? It seems that everything that can be done with it can be done with the power button at the top of my Wizard... This also goes for that DisplaySwitch program.

3. You have smartskey, as well as "soft key" ... both seem to be capable of the same key remapping feature. Is there something that softkey will do that smartskey will not?

4. Then there is the "battery" something-or-other program that overclocks the OMAP cpu, among other nice things. Why have Omapclock installed then? Also, why does Omapclock report a different speed than that battery program today plugin? And I can't seem to remember how I got into that battery program interface as well. Is it through the today plugin somehow? The overclocking steps that were shown there also seemed to be a bit weird. Right now I am at 247mhz (according to the today plugin) and at 228mhz according Omapclock.

5. the ScreenCapt utility is also unneccessary because that function is included in xnview.

6. The "add ringtone" program is already taken care of as well, albeit, this program does bring them all into one place.

I will have to read up on what a bunch of these programs are for, such as smartflash, simmsg, AltTab, contacts backup versus smsbackup, etc ...

Also I understand the reasoning behind renaming startmenu shortcuts for programs (TCPMP is renamed to "player", etc), but especially for a release canditate, it seems a little confusing...

I find it kinda nice that it includes tcpmp with what so far seems to be all of the extra plugins ...

I really like that WM5Storage program, I had been meaning to try it out, but just never really got around to it.

And how the hell do I get back into that program that is represented by the system status stuff on the today screen?

The only app I have installed so far is Map4PDA ... it seems to work just fine. I will really rip into this ROM over the long weekend.

This is all I can think of for now. Please view this as constructive criticism, and not as anything offensive. Also, I should share some of my reg files with this community, because I got a lot of them.

Can I play with the big kids now? I do find it amazing that people don't read up on things at least a little bit before asking the same question over and over again in a forum. Internet culture, especially as it relates to forums flames the hell out of people (and yes, often unneccessarily) who ask the same questions over and over again. And as far as how quickly someone can find an answer, I would think one could figure out how to unlock a phone much sooner by simply doing a search instead of typing out a message in a thread and then waiting for someone to answer.
