Currently Running 1.6.1 Using Kitchen Test2 11/30/07

Bug found: HTC Clock seems to be approximately :30 faster than the clock in the titlebar. Maybe it is something I did wrong, I don't know.

Using 1.47.1 Radio

I decided to test the different radios at the same location (my desk). This is a poor reception location but is good for testing.

dcd's 1.5.0 rom gave me the best reception/speed with the 1.4.0 radio at this same location versus all other roms I have tried.

Radio Test Results:

Tested Radio 1.40 = Reception was not good. dslreports.com speedtest for simple mobile (400k file) = 450kbits average

Tested Radio 1.47.1 = Reception is slightly better. dslreports.com speedtest for simple mobile (400k file) = 550kbits average​

Extremely impressed dcd, this is the fastest rom as far as responsiveness and overall speed I have had on my phone yet and I have installed quite a few from all different dev's. Also, memory usage is great with virtually no mem leakage when phone was on overnight.

Update 12/02/07

I have been using the rom made from the kitchen for 3 days now. I am extremely impressed by how well the memory has virtually stayed at 53-60% over the weekend. I rebooted once every 24 hours and activesync starts at every boot (can I disable that?). Phone is running great. Of course the only qualm that I have is reception, but it is not bad reception. I suppose I am spoiled by the 1.40 radio that I used on dcd's 1.5.0 rom a while back. It seems like the 1.40 radio is MUCH better than the 1.47 radio when used with a pre-2.17 rom. However, I have not had this phone perform anywhere near as well as it has now using this kitchen. Now that this kitchen has 2.17, it seems like using 1.47 radio is actually better. This is just my experience though.

So my experience has been simple actually :) Performance vs. Reception. Considering that the performance is FAR SUPERIOR than anything I have used before, and the reception is not much worse than before (compared to increase in performance), I definitely will stick with this rom.

Tested Radio 1.47.1 = dslreports.com speedtest for simple mobile (400k file) = 550kbits average so it stayed the same....​

Update 12/07/07

I have been using the rom for officially one week. I am very happy with it. First off I must say that the battery life is undoubtedly the best I have had yet. I did not comment on the battery life in the previous updates because I feel like it takes a week to truly judge the difference in battery life between different roms.

I am now running Voice Command 1.6 which I installed about 3 days ago, and I use it a lot during the day. I call all of my contacts and dial almost all calls with the Voice Command. The memory is now a steady 60-70% a day from using the Voice Command these past three days. Towards the end of the day it goes to about 73%. However, the memory usage and performance is still FAR superior than any other rom I have used in the past.

Summary: Everything runs great, only qualm being the reception/data speed. I attribute the poor signal/data directly to the 1.47 radio. Unfortunately it seemed to me that the rom made using the kitchen worked best with 1.47 and NOT 1.40. So it is still a direct sacrifice of performance/memory versus reception and data speed in the end with this kitchen.​
