If anyone actually reads this I'll be impressed. I'm sorry, I got carried away.

:)

Nah, I get it. I didn't mean for it to sound critical of you, like it kind of does now that I'm reading it back.

I just think sometimes the folks here, including myself, tend to overpraise people and projects. I have been one of the worst offenders in the past. I guess I have a tendency to get caught up in the moment at times, but you bring a nice balance to The Force. There have been times when I have struggled for months on fixing something or learning something new and just when I'm about to give up someone will leave a real nice post or something encouraging and it can have a very motivating effect on me so I have a habit of telling people what I'd want to hear instead of my real thoughts on the matter. Sometimes honesty is what I need and sometimes I just prefer to believe that the Easter Bunny is real.

With this project, especially since pie has been out so long already, I just wanted to hear it straight. I trust that your critique, whether good or bad, will at least be thoughtful. A user posted earlier (in a chat) just two words "its awful" and that's it and while I appreciate the honesty it doesn't really give me anything to work with.

Blah, blah, blah..... (Man, sometimes Kevin talks way too much)

Another thing that makes your input particularly helpful is your location and phone model. By the way, what happened to all the G model users out there? There used to be almost as many G's as there was F's (that's how it seemed anyway), now you're one of the only ones I see consistently posting. But, I was curious how GPS was working for you on the other side of the globe. I don't use it nearly as much as I used to, but it appeared to be very solid for me and to be honest this is where my lack of user experience is coming in to play.

I know what I'm about to say is blasphemous, but I just prefer to run a modified 6.0.1 TW rom on this phone simply for the spen functions, reliable camera, more reliable gps, and sim stability. Even though a rarely ever use my spen, camera, or gps, but on those rare occasions where I do use them I'd like them to work. Not to mention, I lost a comrade early last year by the name of "spare note 4", and I was very hesitant to burn out my only other working phone. Thanks again to [MENTION=7749128]BeckPC[/MENTION] for donating another soldier to the cause, the second donated soldier from the 'ville I might add. BeckPC has helped me more times than I can count and I'll will always be grateful.

The only real knowledge I have of expected aosp rom behaviour is from keeping up with the respective threads. So if anyone has any thoughts on whether this rom is even worth pursuing that input is welcome too.

Also, in the interest of not completely spinning this thread off the rails I think I'm going to just create a new thread in the haunted graveyard of "original development" so its out of the way and if anyone would like to contribute to it (or find it, that could be helpful) they can. I just think it should probably be tested more, especially given your next comment, and at best be in a "beta" status.

That sucks, I was hoping to not hear issues with phone/data/messaging aside from whatever would be deemed an acceptable amount of "sim death", if there is such a thing.

One thing I've noticed about the GUI resets, or rather I suspect, is that I think some of them are intentional. Probably not the one you experienced but there is definitely ui reboots happening to get mods to take effect and it gives an appearance of a buggier looking ui than what is actually going on. I just wanted to throw that out there, but from the sound of it, I think your system just crashed.

I know we all have lives to live and keeping a less capable rom installed is not feasible most of the time but I do appreciate the input and feel free to post any issues, bug reports, logs, or thoughts on life itself here or on the yet-to-be created thread in the graveyard. ......wolves howling.....

Its close to midnight,

Something evil's lurking in the dark...

You ever wonder if its possible to eat too many edibles?
