[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Skrobel:
It's time for further feedback, but first let me comment your comments ;)

Unfortunately I had to kill Opera another 2 or 3 times with fdcTM. It didn't hang the system, but only itself. I can't provide you with any rule in about the situation though... :(

Once it was when scrolling over the messages list (BTW, the Outlook you used has much larger distance between messages so when I set the font size to a value I usually use - 2nd from the bottom - 5 messages can only be showed on one screen. Can I change that somehow? Or it's characteristic for the 6.5.x system builds?). Another time during enterin a message. Yet another time when I tapped one of my two accounts in the list that appears after running Outlook. So there is no general rule I could notice.

I had one more problem. Once when I forgot to close Outlook and only minimized it, the next time I took phone out of the pocket I noticed that the system is extremely slow. When I entered fdcTM (it took over a minute) I saw that tmail.exe has over 80% of the CPU time (the rest was for TM itself). I couldn't close nor activate that process, and when I tried to kill it, the fdc hanged. A restart was necessary (luckily QuickShutdown worked).

Like i said before - I admire Jackos' talent and the will to save every kB of memory, however I usually don't do anything that involves using all the saved amount. I'm not trying to suggest every ROM should behave like that, however I could use Jackos SkrobPRO 1.9 for two weeks without a restart and the free memory (after an initial drop down for manila, gwes and other processes like Audio Manager) stayed on the same level all the time, and even when I used other apps, it used to return to the level of 65-68% after the app closed (Sorry that I give a % value. I just got used to the simple task managed that appeared on the top right corner of WM6.5 standard ROMs). I never experience an app to be closed instantly because of lack of the memory (except for experiment with opening >20 apps in the same time).

Buuuut I'm definitely not against some speed improvement and eye-candiness with a cost of some of the memory as soon as the rest of it prevents the apps from closing. The amount I usually have in simplicity is >50 MBs free so it should be enough for all my needs. However for some reasons (that I explain later) I couldn't use the system longer than one day...

You are welcome! I seem not to be an ordinary user of the TP2 features. I use it to communicate with people in many ways (e-mails, the polish communicator, skype - but only text, often posting on forums when I'm away, usually >2h on phone daily, but very few text messages). Besides of it there is a navigation (usually I use it in car together with BT earpiece and also phone calls in the meantime), not much listening to music using manila tab, some CorePlayer in free time. On the other hand I don't use (or veeery seldom) social networks and other multimedia features like camera, camcorder, YouTube, Windows Live, etc. Also, because of in-car use, I prefer apps working perfectly in Landscape orientation.

So my opinion and remarks are not always welcome by chefs cooking for a "standard", young user, but I think it's always good to see also another point of view.

I must say Jackos ROMs always suit my needs. But I want to try a ROM with start on bottom. I avoid Energy, so the natural choice (suggested also by Jackos) is simplicity :)

Now allow me to introduce some further remarks:

Aaaahhh, I just noticed I really am dumb! A part of the memory issues may come from the fact that I installed CHT 1.8.5 + CHTE 1.8.5 manually on the fresh flash! I usually used ROMs with CHT cooked in and I just got used to is so very much that I forgot to mention this fact! But for me the clean Sense 2.5 is not much more functional than Sense 2.1. I started to use Sense 2.5 after Co0kieMonster released CHT 1.7.1.

but anyways here are my findings:

- the tmail.exe is a bit unstable. I already mentioned this before.

- Opera is also acting strange and I still can't find any rule in it.

However this Opera build seems faster than the 36032 in Jackos ROMs.

- 2 times I couldn't wake up the phone from Standby. The screen was dark. The hardware keys lit up, but nothing more happened. Both times a "forced" SR was necessary.

- sometimes the SIP button appears in the bottom right corner of the screen preventing me from pressing OK/X. Switching the soft keyboard on/off or the SIP menu isn't helping in these situations. Only SR.

However I just started to blame Total Commander for this, because it's the only app I use in which the SIP symbol is in the bottom right corner by default. The program is quite old an may be just incompatible with never WM builds...

- the Long Press EndKey quick menu acts strange in Landscape. Seems like the active fields are moved a bit upwards comparing to the displayed layout. To terminate the data connection you have to press lower part of Set Vibrate option. And the field between Lock Device and the Vibrate buttons triggers Vibrate mode. In Portrait it works fine.

In general I keep my opinion that this ROM is one of the finest for Rhodium. It seems more... smooth by means of general screen motion. But I have a disorder from Jackos ROMs, and Jackos himself always emphasised the goal for his ROMs are not speed but RAM.

My stability problems could be caused by the CHT or a bad flash as well. That's why I'm gonna reflash and at least try to use it without CHT for few days. I did task29 just before I flashed simplicity so I don't think there are any influences from my previous ROM.

PS. Maaan, that's a looong post. Who's gonna read all that! :D
