[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] NickT:
Thanks for the new ROM :D

I've been using Artemis ROMs for a while now as they have always proven to be stable, the latest and greatest, quick and I like the fact the ROM is kept close to stock ROM. I have just gone from v26.1 to v27.0 but I noticed some odd behaviour which is making me wonder if I have a bad flash for some reason or if there is a bug in the HTC Messaging / contacts.

I go through the same process every time I upgrade my Artemis ROM (I've been using the Artemis custom ROMs for many months now and normally I have no problem). I always use Task29 with a re-flash of the radioROM, the flash Artemis ROM, do a hard reset before it boots up, soft reset once booted etc. And I've never had any issues which have caused me to want to mention them here. This time though I've noticed some bugs / odd behaviour and thought I would ask if anyone else had experienced these.

1. I sync with Exchange so all of my contacts are there and also use Facebook. This time when setting up Exchange and then Facebook nearly all of my associations between contacts and Facebook accounts had gone meaning I had to re-link them, not really a bit issue but it is odd as this link is normally kept between flashes.

2. Every time you edit a contact it alters the contact to be listed as Lastname, Firstname even when you just edit a picture for a contact. This has been mentioned before and was the case in 26.1 as well, I understand that default new contacts are purposefully created in this way but I don't believe this is correct when you aren't editing the contacts name. You can edit them back to Firstname Lastname so it isn't a huge issue.

3. Contact details in text messages are displaying slightly differently. I sync my text messages using MyPhone so they are always re-downloaded to my phone after flashing as I always do. I notice now though that in conversation mode looking at the name of the contact against each message you now get a phone icon and the phone number rather than the person's name (the one for Me is ok, just the contact). This is for the majority of people but I do have one contact where I see their name as normal!? I can't work out why. The names and number of text messages look fine in the all messages screen but not when you click on the contact to view the conversation.

4. On "All Messages" screen for text messages I am seeing that I have text messages from someone but when I click on them I see no text messages! I see the same when accessing a contacts text messages through the contact card page, this only happens on certain contacts.

5. I also saw once for no reason I could work out that after soft resetting the phone it showed a new message from someone who hadn't sent me a message. This contact had old 80 text messages but definitely no new messages. I couldn't see a new message when looking at the conversation and I couldn't clear the new message icon so I decided to try and clear down the number of text messages slightly to see if that was an issue. Eventually the new message cleared.

6. I normally install TomTom and have a little CAB file for enabling auto rotate (quick way of entering the item in the reg). Since v26.1 this hasn't worked and I've had to use BsB Tweaks to enable auto-rotation which normally takes a few attempts but does end up working.

7. I also now need to install SDKcerts to install a new taskbar which I didn't have to do on v18.

Keep up the good work with the ROM!
