[G1 Android Development] Janis:
Ditto. Notifications. Seamless integration VOIP thatall the other platform users are jealous of. That's why. It's really not just pretty.

Also getting FCs on Got To Do. AFAK it's the only app that'll let me sync Outlook tasks with an online service (besides GTasks, which is a great to-do list, but not much else) without using my old WinMo Phone with MilkSync.

I haven't done any bench marking, primarily because when I'm using the phone those numbers don't make a difference to me. A subjective evaluation does. (Who cares about the phone, it's all about me.) So for anyone noobish who wants my eval:

-I get a second or so of blank screen when opening an app, but the apps seem more responsive, including the graphic-y ones I use. It's much better than looking at the launching screen I was on and not knowing if anything is happening.

-My GPS fix seems faster. I'm on a lower level, and it's cloudy, but I still got a fix in about 10 sec.

-I didn't have any trouble with the Gallery or anything referencing it.

-Locale, excuse me, Locale is loads faster, as are most of the apps (ClearTune, AContacts, GMail, Inserty, yada). On the whole I love this hack just for this.

-Home loading is way, way faster.

-Booting to lockscreen is cut by about 1/3 for me.

Is there anything we can tell Google Voice that will conceal our ROMs little secret? I mean, not every app needs to know it swings both ways, right?

EDIT (yes, it's 2:30 a.m. So call me a ROMhead addict): After I flased back to CM4.2.15.1, GVoice didn't force close, but I still got this on first and subsequent boots:

I had uninstalled/reinstalled it after applying the hack update. I wasn't sure if it would give a real clue as to what's happening to make it not work.
