[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] DemonLoader:
Just stopping by to show my appreciation for the newest v26. I think its very fast and stable (with a few bug, that I'm not sure are particularly the fault of the rom). I appreciate ::indie:: and team for the hard work you put into making this a great rom.

At first I had loaded the v26 Omega XT w/o HTC messaging (To try and counteract the bug of having too many messages saved), but I experienced a few problem with it as well regarding texting. My first problem was the fact that there seemed to be two different txting clients (not sure if that was the design, and not condemning it, just not workable for me). The one that came up attached to sense in the contact card, and then another that showed up whenever I did mms or went into the All Messages link.

The second problem was that the txting client that was part of the contact card refused to add the space after a word when typing with swype. I know thats way minor to a lot of people, but I've gotten quite good at swype and to have sometimes whole sentenses comeoutlikethiswhile Imtryingto type suuuucked. So obviously that had to go.

So I switched back to Omega XT w/ HTC messaging. And a bit happier with it, though there's still that underlying problem with slooow loading (which I know is not the fault of the rom or chef, so I'll live with it)

The last problem I'm having with the txting client (either one so far that i've noticed and I think its been in all the roms so this may be a well aware problem) is the pictures received in mms don't auto zoom (nor have a found a way to make them zoom at all). I know its a lot higher resolution screen then most phones that are probably sending mms but I thought that auto zooming was a standard thing?

A couple of problems aside from the txting clients i have come across are the keypad on the dialer sometimes disappears (hasn't since i switched to Omega XT w/ HTC messaging a couple days ago, but also hadn't had much chance to monitor it since then either) as well as the call history in the dialer its self sometimes goes haywire and either overshadows the rest of the keypad or becomes unresponsive. I recall reading that that might be a problem with a contact sometimes having too long of a name and the log history breaking because of it, but I don't know that for sure so I can't say that's the problem.

I think that last couple of problems may have something to do with the way I backup and restore after rom updates, so I'll explain my process then explain the problems.

Starting the backup process I do a PIM backup (only txts, call log, and speed dial because I have an exchange server), then CHT export, then Advanced Config export (only specific keys), then finally a SPB backup FULL.

Next step is Task29(with my custom load pic), Radio install (Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14), Rom install

Then finally restore SPB (self extractor set to Rom Update mode), PIM backup, CHT import, Advanced Config import.

The process works pretty fine and I believe i get the updated rom with the restore of all my stuff, but then my problem sometimes becomes some of my programs become un-uninstallable (found a 3rd party uninstaller that seemed to work to get this working, which was only a couple programs the first time I started this full method of backup and restore), and seems a little silly but the MS facebook app won't hold my login info so I have to re-login everytime I open it, which leads me to believe that the Applications data folder or some files have permission problems after a restore like this, but from there I'm pretty lost and confused and figured it was worth a mention.

Aside from those very few problems in the grand scheme of it, I still feel as I did the very first day I tried this rom suit, which is still the first and only rom suit I've tried for my HD2 (besides a little dabble in WP7 waiting for it to be perfected before taking the plunge). This is one of the best roms I've used on any phone and I use it day in and day out. I get lots of complements on it, but unfortunately most of the people that complement wouldn't know the first thing about getting it for themselves.

Keep up the good work ::indie:: and team, and enjoy the vacation.
