[HTC Excalibur] joeskull:
Analysis

Hey, NRG... very, very, very nice job.

This post is not meant to compare your job to the others, It´s just to compare your rom (that I´m using now) to the one I was using before, which was Kavana remade by Rickywatt. I know you are different people and the rom is different too (of course).

After using this rom for 6 days, I must say it´s the best so far for Excalibur.

However… nothing is perfect and I think I found some bugs and some strange behaviors. Also, I´m confused about some things, and I have a wish list…. I’ll number them… Let me get started by the goods…

Pros:

* Fast! (I mean.. considering how old our devices are. And it´s being kept current with WM6.5 – It´s wonderful)

* Stable!

* Connection setup works flawless (Start-Settings-Connections-GPRS-Autoconfig). As I said, I was using Kavana remade by Rickywatt and it never worked for me.

* It´s very pleasant to the eyes.

* Battery life is excellent, same as stock rom, or Rickywatt (I´m using the original standard battery).

* Your top bar is very beautiful… it´s very different from what exists so far.

* No problems with Activesync at all.

* Available free memory is a little bigger.

* Oxios Close Apps is not needed anymore!

* Wi-Fi works like a charm.

Cons:

* Opera mini font is too tiny… tried _Tahoma font, but it changed everything but the Opera. (this font had applied to the whole system, except Opera)

* There is a little delay (1 sec or less) when the phone is in standby mode and you press the center button until it shows the screen. It´s a little annoying… It has been noticed before by other guys here.

* Unable to play .MP4 files. (It was fixed by installing CorePlayer – as mentioned in the first post)

* Still no copy/paste… Vito copy paste does the job… again!

* No Notepad App, so I can´t read .PWI files anymore.

Confused:

* When I go to Start-Settings-XT9 settings, nothing happens… Why?

* Other than browsing the web, and some games (Kevtris) that updates it´s score through internet, when does a connection is required? I mean... now that I found out I have Internet without Wi-Fi, I’m concerned about how much it would cost to me. So I want to know which apps (from your rom, of course) require internet access.

* Is there a way to turn off Internet through mobile operator? I mean... if I want to use only Wi-Fi?

* As noticed in post #35 in page 4, if I press the ON/OFF button and choose Comm Manager, it’s different from going to the main screen and selecting wireless manager. Fortunately, I´m glad to know you´ll fix it in your next release! In the meantime, it can be fixed by goint into CHome Config > Setting > Wireless Page and change the Action URL to \Windows\CommManager.exe (Solution found in page 6 post #57 and #58).

* Can I change the clock on top to 24hour format?

* Jogger. How do I disable it, It’s annoying to have Jogger enabled because it controls in call volume, and it lowers the volume just by touching the jogger. And who doesn’t touch the jogger during a call? In jogger options, I have “system and in call volume”, “in call volume only” and there should have “system only”. Do you agree? Can it be fixed?

* Audio Manager. How can I control volume in audio manager? In previous versions, it was controlled by pressing the up/down button.

* Opera mini. When typing an address, the keyboard behaves as a standard keyboard phone, I mean you press 1 three times to get the “C” character... Press 2 two times to get “B” character… Weird.

Wish list:

* Foxit reader instead of Adobe Reader.

* Oxios Alarms.

* Excel X and Word X creating shortcuts.

* Notepad (So I can read .PWI files again).

* Portuguese Dictionary (XT9) – I found one by myself here - http://wmn79.4shared.com/ then go to XT9 Cab files folder (“Portuguese XT9 for Niki” worked for me)

* Portuguese-Brazilian keyboard layout (I´ve uploaded this file before in this thread)

So, as you can see, your rom is close to perfection. I´m loving it! Thank you for your hard work.

Regards.
