[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gabriel.twl:
Hi kumar! Sorry my report came a little late, because i was busy yesterday with a bbq! :)

Kumar's V2.4 Com5 Premium

2.12.50.02_2

Customizations:

Touchtwit

Coreplayer

The rom has been faster than most other roms i've used, but there's still some slow down when ending calls, as well as picking up calls and messaging and switching applications immediately/using opera and switching in between (but i believe this is inevitable in all roms). I found the volume of the other party in a phone call to be on the softer side (at full volume), probably it's radio related? Battery consumption on the other hand is decent, but i can't get past a day. I believe in flight mode overnight would be good (haven't tested it) But yesterday i used slightly less than moderate/average use and found the battery to be declining a little faster than expected. But take note that i keep my data connection idle after using touchtwit, or opera. Only disconnecting it using Cookie's disconnect data quicklink for a couple of times. When my data is idle/on and phone in standby, i kill all tasks running in taskmanager (notifications) so battery goes down pretty quickly in just idle mode in data connection. Approx. 2% every half hour or so on average including usage in between.

I realized that you cooked opera 36000 in v2.4, i heard some reports it doesn't perform too well, throughout my short use with it, i find the pinch to zooming not as smooth and some flickering. And some other minor knicks. But still, opera is very much usable and above average. Just a minor note.

I think it's me, but i realized that in the text messaging client, i realized that i can't input space bar as quickly as i input other letters, because my text would end up without spaces if i enter it too quickly, although i'm sure i hit spacebar. :) It slows down typing speed a little. Since i'm used to typing quickly. Probably an issue with the Messaging Client. Haven't had enough messages to see if the loading makes the messaging laggy, but i doubt the 2016 version laggs. (have one weird but probably remote issue when the bubble in all messages don't clear up. Deleted that conversation, i don't think it will happen again)

No major bugs so far bro!! :eek::D:)

Approx. Usage:

15mins of Opera

15mins of Touchtwit

4-5 phone calls

30 Text messages

This usage is based from 10am to 11pm (approx.) My phone is in standby most of the time. Because the usage of opera and touchtwit is a 20 mins in one or two session.

However, after 11pm, i left my phone in standby without touching it, and i had around 3 missed calls with 2 text messages, and battery went empty from around 47%? I'm not sure what time the phone went dead, but i woke up to find it switched off (Note that with kumar's v2.4 it can still be turned on, because in a few other roms i tried, the phone went dead and couldn't switch on at all, had to remove battery for a couple of mins, and to find that it's at 47% battery, i think because there were around 10 missed calls, unsure whether is it stability issues, but it seems like it cannot handle too many missed calls and messages at the one short time/concurrently. Note that this is experience with other custom roms), i could turn it on, but saw the battery level at 0 so i switched it off and did a full charge through AC power unit.

Will test it again for battery and usage. Since the phone went dead once, probably let the phone settle down with new radio/rom.

Please note that the above is a personal report/feedback for kumar and in no way portraying that the rom is NEGATIVE. Because if i were to list the instances and improvements and POSITIVES i found in Kumar's rom compared to a few roms out there, i would take quite a few lengthy paragraphs! :D

Thanks for the great rom kumar, will keep this rom in my phone longer and hoping battery would improve nevertheless. The rom is great, smooth in many applications and fast. Manila loads up fast, handles applications fast and well. Great job. Will be installing some more customizations and games, but many because your rom included some great and useful ones already. Did i forget to mention the great icons in start menu? *THUMBS UP!!* I will go source for the same ones and change my coreplayer/touchtwit with jwmd icon changer to standardize it. Please be aware of your great job and thanks for sharing your work with us. Appreciate it bro.

REALLY REALLY GREAT JOB KUMAR!! THANKS for the effort and hardwork and dedicating an EURO ROM! I believe it serves to be more stable for euro devices? :D

P.S sorry for lengthy post! :p
