[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] blakevon:
21877 Experience since yesterday

Haven't updated my sig with my phone details yet so here they are

HTC TP2

the new 21877 ROM Standard

Radio 3.45.25.14

Put the few "hot cab" fixes in for my Keyboard and such to match up to the T-Mobile thing etc. I also run Dashwire to keep all my stuff backed up.

Before this rom, I was running the Sept 22 release, the last of the Genesis line standard. Things were pretty stable with that one, with a few annoyances here and here. In watching the thread (and knowing NRG is always cooking) I figured I would sit back and wait a bit to see what comes out. I started with the 21876 Rom (the one right before this one) and had the same GPS issues etc that others were having.

Overall I really like it. I have some issues that are popping up which did not happen with the other Rom's previously mentioned that I have had on this phone. I will start with those, then mention little things that annoy me and if anyone has suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.

Issues: USB to PC. I plug in, get my screen (Activesync, data drive, or internet sharing?). Most of the time it is just activesync but like right now I am out traveling and use my phone to get on the internet on my laptop. (Awesome speeds in Portland, Oregon btw). At this point it doesn't matter what I choose. It will just active sync. Only way for me to make it possible to run the other 2 choices is to (while activesyncd) go to my task manager on the phone and kill rapictnl (it has a little symbol next to it that shows a pc connecting to a phone.) So I kill that, activesync link terminates (while still connected to laptop), I can then choose internet sharing and I am connected no problem. Hard resets, re-flashing rom, it doesn't make a difference.

Next is really odd. I won't have anything running other than Dashwire, and my phone is at the home screen. It does its thing, goes dim, then dark. Pick it up an hour later, push the button so see my home screen, and seems frozen (as my first thought is, that isn't what time it is), so I look in the top right corner and there is an X to close "Messaging". I click that, boom, home screen is back to normal. I can repeat that is consistant. That leads me to the next issue.....

I have my messaging set to classic because threading is a pain. I love threading, as I use it on my Dash 3G with a 3VO Rom, but threading has never worked in any of the NRG roms for me properly. When I say properly, I mean that when it goes to the thread, I can't really see what I am typing, in landscape or non-landscape mode. That has been my experience with ALL the Roms I have done with the TP2 (all NRG roms. I love them overall). So in connection with what happens when I "wake up" the phone and have the frozen home screen (with just the close X and "Messaging" where the Start would be) I thought maybe I had received a text, or was receiving email, or something.... nope. Nothing there.

Battery life, well can't say much with as much as I have been messing with it vs. my normal everyday use, but I will say that with the Genesis Rom I had, charge once each day was required. (Which was a hell of a lot better than 2-3 times a day with the T-Mobile rom!)

Annoyance: OPERA!!!! Quite frankly I have never gotten that browser to do anything for me that worked. No matter what I do to get IE as default it just doesn't grab. IE actually surfs where I want to go and does what I ask it to do. Opera has just always been a pain in my butt. I am sorry to all you Opera lovers out there. Seriously. Can I get rid of the Opera, or change it so IE is default browser?

If I am missing something cool and awesome about Opera than let me know, but at this point, I really hate it. I have had this problem with Opera since the Genesis Roms.

Sorry for my long post, but I usually read as most people already post most of what I am looking for, and as one of the Senior Members on here loves to say, "SEARCH SEARCH SEARCH" which is what I do and why I have a low post count.

Hope someone has some ideas.

Thanks
