Impressions of Evo3

Hello all,

This is my fifth day running the Evo V3 ROM, so I thought I would give my impressions on it. I really like the look, it is very clean and coordinated. Sergio has done a tremendous job with icon sets and making this a very visually appealing ROM. It is very fast, although I only have the stock ATT rom to compare it to.

I have a few comments/concerns to leave. Some have been posted, others may not have been, but any help would be greatly appreciated if anyone has it to offer. These may not all be ROM-specific issues, but just thought they might help out someone else with their flash:

1) For ATT setup, voicemail number is not captured, so be sure to write it down (thanks Russ, for the heads-up)

2) All my initial outgoing calls had caller ID blocked, even though under Phone settings, the option was selected to display to 'Everyone.' I thought this was stored on network account and phone only pulled these settings, so didn't know why it changed after a ROM flash. Had to set it to block, then re-enable it to display to everyone for my caller ID to show up again.

3) G-config was pre-set with many programs upon first run. I have found that adding the following are very helpful: Start (Manila), Start (MS start menu), File Explorer, and Google Maps

4) If using Advanced Config (first of all, be sure to download Sergio's specific installer cab), don't mess with CommManager button settings. It doesn't like to let you set more than 6, though by default, Sergio has it set up for more.

5) The top curtain notification bar (which is displayed when tapping any of the top icons) is not very helpful, I would rather see HTC task manager by clicking on clock. Task Facade is nice, but is sometimes slow to load and takes up more memory than HTC's.

6) The Manila TV tab is not optimized when viewed in landscape.

7) LED mute/unmute lights do not function on back of device while using speaker phone

8) I have intermittent dialer issues. This is probably the most frustrating issue, and this may be an ATT-specific problem, as V1 and V2 of the ROM had ATT versions, likely for the dialer. I have no problems sending calls, but more than half of the ones I receive I cannot answer. Either using the slide to answer or the hard Send key, the screen still flashes incoming call, but never picks up. Sometimes it works flawlessly, but others it takes several seconds to pickup or it won't pickup at all. I would really like some insight to this. This was an issue when I first flashed, then I saw Sergio had an ATT dialer cab, so I installed it, and the first call I received afterwords worked flawlessly, so I thought it was fixed. However, subsequent calls I could not pickup, so I'm not sure what the issue is.

Again, thanks for such a great ROM. Looking forward to your upcoming creations.

@ Russ - have you been beta-testing the EVO Leo's before final release?

Edit: I have used three different radios on this ROM. The stock ATT radio (4.48.25.20), updated to 4.49.25.17, and now on 4.49.25.57. Stock and current were great, however I had GPS lock issues with *.17. Not sure why, or if it just happened to be a coincidence, but I know feedback is always helpful.
