[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DeathmonkeyGTX:
I'm pretty sure SOD is officially when your device has been asleep/suspended and when you try to hit the power button and use it, it doesn't wake up and requires a soft reset or battery removal. If you were using your phone and it glitched out, that's not really an SOD. That's just Sense being Sense. I get some random glitches that are either long hangs or hard locks when I'm not using Sense, and it's not very often. It usually happens because of using HTC Messaging quickly, but sometimes during seemingly random actions.

Since I've had my Rhodium (since first week of March), I've used this thread's ROM's from Sergio, TPC V8 for about 15 minutes until I saw what Extendir does to Garmin (slow-mo), agent 47 until I figured out that start menu hard button brought up some quicklink BS instead of start menu + skinned arcoft sms, and I flashed Faria's this afternoon. It's hard locking sometimes in Zenyee's SMS patch to get Arcsoft back, but I saw some dude say in Faria's thread that arup...'s (can't spell it off the top of my head) posted method of getting arcoft back/killin' HTC Messaging Client (I consider it a bug) worked fine and retained MMS functionality, so I'll try that later. Oh yeah, used a few b16b rom's because I used a few for Kaiser for a long time. Also, my Kaiser didn't ever SOD, and I had to soft reset with the stylus or similar less often. I don't know what it is, but I haven't found a rock solid stable (for WinMo) ROM across 5 Rhodium chefs so it seems to be a part of Rhodium ownership.

I'm considering a bounty for a 21xxx ROM without Sense or HTC Messaging, and containing certain CAB's that I can FTP to a chef and configured the way I config my device so I can image it and reflash + install image and be good to go, and if that glitches abnormally just don't install the image. My phone bill is ~$100/mo, so it's def my only phone. WinMo phones (particularly with better than Hermes HSDPA + GPS) with a sliding qwerty from HTC are the second-most useful pocketable awesome things I've ever found. I use it extensively to SMS, call, email, navigate, tether, browse, calculator, stopwatch, watch bc I haven't had one in a couple years, calendar, grocery/shopping list, ballistics calculator, MP3 player (when the phone can house 100+GB of data, I want FLAC support), and a myriad other things less often. Often I am in a hurry, and it is ungodly irritating when the phone hangs, SODs, locks, or behaves undesirably when I am. When I'm just chillin' I don't mind, but when I'm flowin' it is irritating. I soft reset every day, so it should be fine. Every M$ product needs a restart every so often (I had a linux server + router on UPS that had 19 months of uptime until there was a long enough power outage), so yeah I think I'll start the bounty at $100. It's going to be a week or a few before I can afford to cough up $100 for a piece of software (I haven't bought an OS for personal use before, so I probably should), but I would for a ROM per my spec and whatever bugs I encounter in a reasonable time between soft resets and less often t-29 and starting fresh (M$ OS's clusterf**k themselves over time, had better luck with 7 x64 but that might be because of the machine it's running on more than M$ goodness). I don't know the inner workings of WinMo very well, never been a "leet" coder, more of a hardware and usage geek and I'm not going to have time to learn cooking WinMo as well as I would like to any time in the next 9+ years so it'd be cheaper to pay good money for a rock solid stable and fast ROM that I don't have to cab up/tweak. When I'm sober I'm going to think about where to post bounty offer/where to escrow money/all other things pertaining to it.

anyway, happy memorial day weekend. i must eat and then sleep for a solid 12 hours.
