[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Numptyfied:
comments for you!

Hello Wajk!!

I must congratulate you on a very nice and fast Rom. It is reasonably stable and is the fastest Manila 2.1 Rom (2.5 is nice to look at but is not fast. I need speeeeeeed!!!) I have seen in a long time. I have been testing your Rom for a week now and have some comments for you.

1) Battery Life.

I have noticed that when i went from my stock windows 6.1 Rom to your StoneHenge 5.7, I have noticed that battery life is about 20% Less than stock. Even with all the power saving enhancements switched on (Sim power saving, SD power saving etc etc using advanced config and HD tweak) I still couldnt match the original stand by or call times. I then went and checked the light sensor polling and I saw this was set to check constantly so I increased its polling time to 200ms which has improved battery life with the other changes I made by 5%. I also notice that your battery indicator percentage does not synch up with the rest of the system. If you check on the home screen it will say 90% but when checking battery, it will be on 100%. They only link up when the battery reaches 40% or so.

Is there anything i can do to increase battery life? I use 3G and wifi regularly, I also watch movies, email, documents and music alot. I also use my GPS and camera often too. I get Just under Two days use with StoneHenge 5.7. I used to get nearly three on my stock 6.1 Rom.

2) Music Player.

By faaaar the most annoying problem i have detected with the Rom is the music player tab. It takes a very long time to find all the albums and categorize them. If you go to all songs, All my music is there. But when i go to albums, only the current album im playing will be displayed. All the others dont show up, and it takes either 10mins for the music tab to find them again, or I have to soft reset several times and wait until they finally show up. which as you can imagine isnt very efficient.

This for me is the worst problem out of your Rom.

3) Keyboard.

The Keyboard we have for putting text in is very nice to use in terms of button placement. But it is very slow. I type very fast on my touch screen and when I type fast with this Rom it cant keep up with me and results in my needing to slow down alot or the text just comes out a mess.

I have installed the full screen weather cab (looks very pretty) and I have also installed some of your themes, Sometimes they get misaligned (once every few days) but a quick reset of Manila fixes this. (using the program clean ram. No soft reset needed!) Over all im very happy.

I like the Look, Speed, Functionality and Power of your Rom. I really love your bootscreen with the Blackstone showing its Bios start up checks before starting windows (please keep it. It always makes me smile!) :)

I am going to donate to you the moment I can (which should be in the next month or so, I hope 10 or 20 euro is ok) as I think your work is the best And I would gladly support you.

I hope the problems I have found will be fixed in future edtions (or maybe a cab file hotfix for the Music player problem) And I look forward to Donating money to you and seeing your amazing work.

Well done! Im using your Roms for life :)

Numpty.
