[Desire Android Development] Narfx:
Being a linux user from 199x I love the idea of an open source ROM, so I installed this yesterday and the small size, customizability (ODParts rocks) and memory footprint of this one is fantastic. However, I don't know if the stability is there yet. During normal use, gtalk would refuse to start. No FC, no error message, nothing. A logcat showed this:

After a reboot, it worked again. Are these errors common? I don't know if I'm ready to sacrifice stability for the fuzzy feeling of running a minimal OS ROM.

And before anyone says it: yeah, I wiped everything before flashing it. I simply removed some unneeded apps from the zip before flashing, namely:

Calculator.apk

CarHomeGoogle.apk

CarHomeLauncher.apk

Facebook.apk

kickback.apk

MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk

soundback.apk

talkback.apk

Twitter.apk

VisualizationWallpapers.apk

VoiceDialer.apk

which shouldn't (?) crash the VM.
