[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
There are so many things wrong with what you're saying I don't know where to begin. Let me start with your completely disjointed rant about my post.

Ok. Wow. I don't want your nandroid. It's entirely likely that the issues I'm having are related to my specific hardware. If you do a little searching you'll find that pretty much every Hero is created a little differently. Sometimes things that work on one phone won't work on another.

I never called you a troll. But the last sentence above makes you one, so..enjoy your self proclaimed title. If the shoe fits, wear it.

Also, it's nice you're busy helping people. I applaud it. However when you're not busy helping people you're implying that they're too stupid to do it without your oh so valuable help. If that's not what you mean I suggest choosing your words vastly more carefully in the future. Although quite honestly I don't really know how else to take:

I don't see why my having over 900 posts means I should be pushing out my own ROMs. Some people have time for it, some don't. I personally work 10 hours a day and the last thing I want to do when I get home is fool around with cooking roms. Which is why I let people who DO have a little more time do it, and it's also why I DONATE to the people whose roms I use. I've donated to Flipz, and I've donated to Damageless. As a show of appreciation for their time. I used to cook ROMs on WM. I'm not getting involved in that again on Android.

Lastly, it's not '*****ing', it's 'bug reporting'. Had I said, "Geeze, this ROM is a piece of ****, it won't even do my laundry!" that's *****ing. What *I* did was to give a run down on everything I did to install the ROM, all the problems I ran into, what I did to resolve them in certain cases. This is called 'bug reporting', for which all developers are grateful. (Ok, all developers who don't think they're 'perfect' anyhow). Most developers ASK for it. So please try and make the distinction.

If you had READ my post instead of just immediately jumping into flame mode, you would have seen that I stated SOME people are having problems and SOME people aren't. I'm perfectly happy you're not having issues. Yay for you. The rest of us are reporting the issues we're having so as to hopefully get them fixed.

This is 100% wrong. Downloaded apps have nothing to do with the ROM framework. The apps are stored separately. The settings are stored separately. They do not affect the ROM itself unless someone restores system applications between ROMs (which is silly, I agree). But basic market downloaded apps will have no impact. However, if you'd read my original post on the subject you'll see that I said I attempted to use this ROM before AND after restoring my apps and I had the same results both times. I did not bother removing the built-in apps that I don't use, because I was testing it and the testing failed fairly soon after the installation. There was no point. But if the ROM can't hold up to the apps that come with the basic ROM in the first place, it would definitely tend to indicate a problem with it, now wouldn't it? Not damage's fault, but Sprint/HTC's. And also the clearing sense data issue is a known bug and goes back to the first 2.1 roms, and possibly to 1.5. It's nothing to do with this rom specifically.

So, basically, you need to be a whole lot less combative. You need to stop treating people as though they're complete idiots because their ROM isn't running as well as your ROM. Quite a few of us know what we're doing, and have been doing this for a good deal of time. And we don't like being made out as stupid.
