My thouhts on cm7 Destroyer

Hey Magnus, let me start by saying that your theming is awesome and the rom is excellent over all. I wanted to give you more detailed feedback about the operation, cause it seems that folks here aren't really doing that...

I've been running this for abbout 3 days now, very impressed with the stability. This is the most stable version of cm7 I have used yet. It's very responsive. The transition animations are kinda annoying so I have turned them off, but the window animations are cool and smooth.

GPS initially did not navigate. It would find me fine, I just couldn't use the navigation. So, I followed the instructions for the ## code, and now my GPS is golden!

I've run into an issue where the handcent quick compose won't work on here. I've uninstalled & re-installed from scratch as well as installing previous backups, but the result is the same. I've switched to ChompSMS which seems to work fine.

The black on black text thing seems to be theme specific. I followed the instructions in the op, but could not get the problem resolved. Currently I'm using the Honeycomb theme because it's the only 1 that doesn't seem to have that problem... I also was not able to get the Honeycomb music player to function, it just force closed... no big deal, I don't even know what I'm missing (literally).

The lockscreen modding is definitely cool, however, my unlock slider is on the left, not in the center as shown in the op. Same position on the rotary style as well. Again, not a big deal, just thought I'd let you know.

I started to REALLY REALLY REALLY DIG THE IN-CALL THEME, but it only works on the system or cyanbread theme, which has the black on black text issue, is there any way you could make that in-call screen available by itself?

Other than that, I have moved a few apps to SD using the built in apps 2 sd, and accept for the handcent issues, no problems. Battery life is pretty good with the stock kernel, I may switch kernels later, but I've noticed that cm7 glitches a lot when I use 3rd party kernels (and I've tried them all, ziggy's, savage, cm snap, etc) so the battery life isn't as good as it could be, but for now it's suitable.

What else... got rid of some stuff I have no intention of ever using like flex t9, fm radio (the thing sucks anyways), the second search box app, ad-free (it hides ads well, but at the cost of performance). launcher pro (adw is a little faster even though lp has more features) and probably a few other items I can no longer remember. The hotspot app works fine, I used it to watch hulu on my laptop.

Anyone on Sense right now wanting to look at CM7, needs to try this rom. any other CM7 rom for the EVO is most undoubtedly going to blow massive chunks compared to Destroyer.

Magnus, hats off too ya bro!

general stuff that I would welcome some help/info/direction on:

The only things that make me want to go back to sense are:

Email (why has no one made a pinch to zoom client for android yet?)

Friendstream (the facebook widget sucks and I haven't found any others)

Calender (the HTC calender is the biz cause it syncs with facebook and the widget is simply the best)

If anyone has any insight on programs that work on gingerbread that mimic or copy the features from the above mentioned HTC apps, please let me know!
