[HD2 Android SD Development] themadproducer:
This is my 8th rom over the last 2 months and without a doubt, it is unequivocally the most responsive one by a long shot. My previous rom took me SO LONG to detail to my liking with my many apps and specific anal settings....there is no way I would start over if I didn't think there was an immense advantage with this one. Here is a recap and some info/answers and info for the gang.

1) What improvements have I notice?

- speed and fluidity are off the charts. If you compare your sliding and scrolling to an Iphone 4, you will know what I mean because this is the first one that compares in all the roms I've tried. And I don't think I will ever use Quadrant again. Quadrant can be blind to builds like this one. I get 1600 but it feels like 3200! That's the bottom line. Rely on the human element in the end to judge the speed.

- boot and installation time are unparalleled. Simply Amazing. EDIT: 2mins till booted and smooth as compared to 4mins with MDJ 2.3 Sense

- old style horizontal SLIDE to UNLOCK/ANSWER...unlocks/answers when I WANT IT TO instead of by accident in my pocket with the crudy sense vertical unlock or other Android versions etc. Now I don't need to use WidgetLocker...which is a fine app!

- The old DIALER with top row menu for contacts, favs etc. Some disadvantages but BUTTONS and MENU are way more user friendly and RIGHT THERE....then the sense dialer and the contact scroller is better too.

2) Battery Drain

- leaving BlueTooth on and waiting causes 60ma(+-) drain.

- leaving GPS on and waiting does the same thing....but...It happens after launching an app that utilizes the GPS. I believe that even if you KILL the app, the GPS continues to drain 60ma(+-) unless you disable GPS or reboot.

3) Setcpu

Can't manually set speed, only the list of 5 or 6 presets will work and no OverClocking. I am finding that so far, the rom kicks butt without it and standby battery drain is between 3-7ma with peaks when other stuff is going on. (that's with everything on but BlueTooth)

4) End Button Long Press

Someone mentioned this but I wonder if it was addressed? Holding down the end button for 2 secs (on purpose or by mistake...eg while in pocket) while the phone is locked will still allow the SHUTDOWN menu to appear. That can be bad for accidental triggering.

5)FM Radio

Someone said they don't get...eg 99.0, 101.0 etc. My experience says that Fm Radio tunes in to the ODD suffixes (99.1, 99.3, 101.5) That's the way it is, nothing is wrong...right?

6) LED Notifications

As a workaround, shutdown your HD2, place it in the charger, start it up, and may MAY now have notification LEDs working. Is it stable? Probably not but it works. Alternatively, the app named LedMeKnow is pretty darn cool. Both methods draw up to 30ma during blinking. LedMeKnow has the option to flash the HardKey lights. In one of MDJ's builds, it can even flash the camera LEds!

EDIT: Assumed LedMeKnow would work but it doesn't with this rom. It definitely works with MDJ Sense 2.3.

7) Browser Mobile/Desktop view

This build does not off the browser that has the Mobile View on/off switch. As a workaround, open your browser, and in the address bar, type about:debug , then go to menu>more>settings>UAString and choose Desktop (or even Iphone mode)

8) Sense Features

Switching over from a Sense build, I didn't want to lose the sense Keyboard and News/weather report app. I managed to find installable apks for these. You will need to Google geniewiget (news/weather) and HTC_IME 27. Something like that. There are various versions that WILL installed like normal APKs. Not sure if I am allowed to post the source here.

9) larger data.img size

I ended up using one of MDJ's 1gb data.img on a clean install with no problems. No need to get technical, just copy and paste.

10) Dead Battery Shutdown

When I run out of battery there are no warnings, just a flat out shutdown.

Darkstone...what do I say man? Without you, I would be stuck with an Iphone.

You are the monster dude!:D
