[HD2 Android NAND Development] ASCIIker:
so i was using this ROM for approximately the last 8 days (from Dec 5th to Dec 12th)...not a continuous session of course, i did many many reboots in between largely due to experimenting with the "Energy Tweaks" :D

then on the afternoon of the 12th, the ROM froze up when i tried to enable wifi. i had had 2-3 other unexplained reboots since i was using this ROM, so i just did a soft reset. then it wouldn't boot up anymore (would remain stuck on the FIRST splashscreen, the energy theme one, the spinning circles wouldn't come up)! :(

i tried wiping cache, wiping dalvik cache, fix permissions...no dice!

so i spent the larger part of monday night (and tuesday morning) experimenting. tried out MIUI for the first time...it was okayish (but FAST!). i finally settled on dungphp's runnymede ROM. i will post feedback for that ROM in that thread.

but i thought i should at least give the chef feedback on issues i've observed in my 8 days of use:

1. copy-paste popup menus weren't behaving as expected: type something into a text box, hold down on the text box until the "select/copy/paste/input method/blah blah blah" menu comes up. choose select all and now the "copy/paste/cut/blah blah blah" menu should come up...but it would loose the selection and then the expected menu would come up. FYI: i had "hackers keyboard" and "keyboard from gingerbread" download and installed...i think i was able to produce this problem with all of these keyboards (including the "stock" htc keyboard).

2. slow sd card I/O when connected to PC in disk mode - on the exact same HD2 with the exact same sd card (details in signature) and the exact same FAT32 partition and its contents, a previous ROM i was using (xxxpachaxxx's) performed at 8+MB/sec READ and about 3.5+MB/sec WRITE. the energy ROM could only muster a 1.7MB/sec WRITE, didn't check the READ speeds though.

3. overall sluggishness - largely happened after unlocking the device and/or when switching between an app and home screen or from one app to another.

4. date appears cut off on pattern lock screen and no wallpaper on pattern lock screen

5. cannot read text on low-battery warning messages...it is something like light grey text on white background.

6. switching skins doesn't affect the dialer skin/theme. the overall energy theme uses blue but the selection/highlight color on the home screen is green.

7. loooooooong boot time - took about 5 minutes to boot up EACH time.

8. wifi would be "too" weak in known weak spots - there are a few spots where i know my wifi router's signal is weak. on previous ROMs, wifi would remain connected reasonably well in these areas. on the energy ROM, the wifi seemed to be disconnecting/reconnecting a bit too frequently. yes, my wifi was set to best wifi performance mode.

9. no Android news app - the only news app/widget included was the htc news app/widget. not a big fan of that one, so i tried looking for an apk to side load. couldn't find any that installs, let alone works! :confused:

10. occasional hot reboots

all other problems i faced are already mentioned in this thread (fm radio, headset buttons, some tweaks like wake screen on sms and screenshot buttons shortcut).

all in all, i'm proud of the HD2 community...it is truly amazing to see a current flagship's ROM (sensation xl, i.e. runnymede) run as nicely as it does due to all the wonderful efforts of the chefs and devs! keep it up NRGZ (i've been a fan since the WM6.5 days, see my signature)!

P.S. its been almost 24 hours since i've been using dungphp's runnymede ROM...so far, i highly recommend it...fast, snappy, and so far seems stable! so snappy that i had to LOWER the window and transition animations to "slower" setting :D
