[Hero CDMA Android Development] Stramondroid:
Papa Smurf,

I just wanted to reflect a bit on this rom. I can tell immediately that the time put into this rom is/was substantial, and it has in fact paid off. The rom seems very polished, very well tested, and very well bug free. With that being said, I must thank you and those that have helped on this. Now for the bad part, Ill go easy I promise.

I know these things can and will be worked out, so I have been patiently waiting. During this time, I was testing the 2.2 darch and others are working on, and with the memory leak issue rendering my phone partially useless every 20 or so minutes, I needed to find an everyday rom I can use during the week, and test cyanogen mod on the weekend. I would rather test all week, but I have other mates that use the HERO (via my suggestion) and are always asking me to test roms, and give them my feedback. So I was forced to run something solid during the week. Anyway, I chose the red dawn, as I have used blue echo in the past, and I liked it very much. I have faith in you, :-), I have yet to get a full hour out of the device without it automatically rebooting. Know how I know? It will be just sitting there, and go "DROOOOOIIIDDDD" lol, I love that, but only when I ask it too...lol I run various SIP applications, to a trusted, working, stable PBX that I have setup. I prefer to use the WiFi for this, so my WiFi is never off. The battery is decent, since I kill the WiFi sleep policy, I cant complain. but being able to tweak the battery settings would be great.

So I finally went to setup my home screen, which is basically always the same, since I enabled JIT, my sense clock is gone, the entire app is gone, or blacklisted, Idk the difference. Also, no youtube app. I couldnt find the widget which prompted a search. Not there. I know for fact I downloaded the Red_Dawn_Signed_1.zip, not the supposed slimmed down. Also, I can see the tickbox to "show" flash in the browser settings, but I cannot play a flash video from the youtube site, as it seems the "HTC flash player is also absent". The SIP programs I was talking about earlier, also lose registration completely after awhile, and even killing the app and restarting it, still no registration. I would think maybe the app sucks. but Three? All the same behavior. I have to kill the WiFi, and bring it back up, then it will register. I have tried this on multiple routers, with multiple ISP's. I was recording a video of my niece yesterday, and the screen all of a sudden went dark, and had blue lines across it. The timer was still recording, and when I pressed home, it went back to the home screen. just an observation. I was about 2 minutes into the video.

Just so you all know, I work as a biometric engineer,(Click here to see some cool stuff) I design and manufacture fingerprint scanners. I/we do not write software, but I am tasked with testing application compatibility. I have various methods for testing out my theories, and I feel they are very thorough. I do love constuctive input, so if you can think of something I may be missing out to try, please let me know. I want to help make this one of the best, and I have put my faith behind it.

Have a great week everyone, and cheers papa!
