41409 ROM Report

Attention noobs like me...

This ROM is as bug free as you are going to get with Rhodium/Topaz ported TF3D. Here is my experience with it thus far...

WiFi works great. The dialogs are a little different than with stock. Nicer looking in my opinion.

Bluetooth works as it should as far as I can tell. I've paired with my laptop and it all works fine.

The new comm manager has a clickable area where the words WiFi, Bluetooth, etc. are located as well as the little on/off sliders you are used to. If you click the words, you get an advanced dialog box for the feature you clicked. If you tap the slider, you simply turn that radio or function on or off.

There is a minor bug in the Fuzeberry version (I don't know if it exists in other versions). The "button" for the tab you are sitting on in TF3D is opaque thus obscuring the icon. The fix is to install the transparent sliders cab. It was referenced and posted by others a few pages back. Look for it and download it if this bothers you. Please don't ask for it to be posted again or someone here will blow a gasket.

The icons and graphics are simply great. NRG always does wonderful graphics.

A few others have reported that the small icons under the contact you are viewing in TF3D all call the mobile number rather than the number they are supposed to. This is not the case on my Fuze. The icons will call, text, or email appropriately depending on which one you touch.

The contacts and TF3D favorite contacts are much more tightly integrated in this version of TF3D. You stay within TF3D the whole time you are working with contacts. Its very nice looking and flows well together. I think you will like it... I do. The ABCDEFG... down the right side is a little "squished", but perfectly usable. Not a big deal.

The only caveat of the new way contacts are handled is that HTC has a built-in SMS program. It is threaded like the one you are used to, but it is a little different. If you SMS from within TF3D, you will do it from the HTC app. If you open "Messaging", you will text from the threaded outlook interface you are used to. I don't like being in the HTC SMS program because it doesn't appear to have character counter like pocket outlook does so you can't tell when you hit 160 and it's going to split your message. Other than that, I wouldn't care which one popped up.

There is a stocks tab that I really like. Its very similar to the weather tab we are all used to. If you don't own any or very few stocks, you can just put in the indexes and keep up with what the market is doing in general. Those would be ^DJI, ^GSPC, and ^IXIC.

Users are reporting excellent locks using AGPS. It's not working for me, but I didn't mess with it much and it's probably something I'm doing wrong.

The camera works as expected. I didn't notice anything different here. NRG did enable sport, burst, etc. as you would expect.

I don't listen to music on my Fuze so I can't help you there.

The version of Opera that NRG cooked in works just fine. It works better than the version I cooked into my own ROM I was running before I switched to this one.

All in all, it's an excellent ROM and if it acts weird, its something you did or its a known Rhodium TF3D bug and there are very few of those now.

No it won't work on a CDMA phone and please don't post anything related to that or you will be flamed.

The exe in the download is not a virus. Please don't post anything related to your virus scanner and this ROM or you will be flamed.

The first several sticky posts in the Raphael ROM development forum are critical to flashing your phone without bricking it. If you read the first post in each sticky thread, you are highly unlikely to brick your phone, flash a GSM ROM to your CDMA phone, or post something stupid like "this ROM has a virus in it" The sticky threads are flame prevention information. ;)

If you find an actual real bug, you can report it, but follow the format outlined in the first few posts of this thread.

I hope that helps some noobies like me. :)
