Testing ROM

Hi, I've been testing this ROM out for a couple of days and it is very good, but not perfect, I'll outline my experience now.

I used your version 10 before this and it was a very very good ROM, that for me was close to perfection. A bug with version 10 was that when in landscape mode and in a phone call the grey box that blocks the icons until u slide it down did not switch to landscape mode so it covered some of the icons but not all of them. GPS was lagging but I know this is a common problem and specific to your ROM. TouchFLO was really nice but there was no ability to copy and paste from text messages which is quite important, if these problems were corrected v10 I think would be perfect. Now on to v11...

I have only had it for a couple of days as stated previously and I really want to like it more than v10, but at this moment in time I do not. There is a noticeable slowdown when trying to get to things in v11 that I did not witness with v10. One of the aspects that made v10 such a joy to use was its responsiveness which blew any other ROM I have tried out the water, you clicked on messages in landscape mode it took you there instantly, you hit the menu button on the screen and you could quickly type a message. On v11 although I love the idea of the bigger menu bar there is too much of a slowdown associated with it, and the time it takes to load say messages from the landscape menu at times is quite long, certainly longer than v10. Don't get me wrong I'd love to see these changes implemented if they didn't affect performance like I am witnessing because it does make operation with the fingers very easy, but at the moment I would rather sacrifice them and go back to v10.

GPS on here is quite laggy too, but as I mentioned earlier I know this is not to do with your ROM, I mention it simply to inform others who may be looking to install your ROM for no other reason than to improve GPS (there are 1000 other reasons why they should switch to your ROM in my opinion) that in my case it did not make a difference.

Another issue that I have encountered is at times the ok button in the top right corner seems to disappear, it is still functional in that when you press that part of the screen the program running will still minimise/close.

Whilst in messaging the top bar where you can select which inbox you want to use and which folder you wish to view also seems to disappear at times whilst in landscape mode, this doesn't happen frequently but a softreset is required when it occurs which is quite annoying.

The virtual keyboard is a bit small it doesn't seem to occupy all the screen but I can't complain about that because I know I can get other keyboards, and I use the physical keyboard most of the time anyway.

The last thing that I can remember at the moment is that there is a lag between switching from portrait to landscape, a lag longer than the one experienced on v10 (which was pretty much non-existent)

I am using the MDA Vario IV with your v11 ROM and 1.11.25.01 radio. I did 4 hard resets after installing your ROM, and experienced some problems when trying to restore my text messages with PIMBackup, the restore had completed but when trying to load my messages they would not display in the inbox, only on the main menu on the homescreen when I clicked the messages tab could I see them. I hard resetted a couple more times and then restored my messages and they were fine though.

I am very appreciative of your efforts and if you could resolve some of these issues in a future release I would be really happy. At the moment though I will stick with v10.
