This is going to be a long post, so please bear with me.

The Poll

As we can see, it looks like the majority of us will want the rom to be be continued in xda. And everybody can see why. It is very difficult to identify oneself in such a big forum here. And in fact due to this thread, there is just this group of people who came here, and started to identify themselves. Why was it so attractive here? I believe that the way this thread has evolved is unique. I feel that there were many here who feel that there is no elitism, and many of us have indeed help each other out. We all came from a diverse background, many of who doesn't know English very well. But yet, everyone is making an effort here, and everyone is also trying to be very polite to each other. :) If you would have seen the previous thread, there was a sense of elitism and that created a lot of tension. I'm basically a Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde personality. I was a cynical fellow who doesn't want to toe the line. Why then the sudden change in my personality in this thread? Reason: the dev team has shown very much the commitment (minus the elitism) and this has kind of permeates throughout the thread. I'm just really glad that I am associated with such a team.

Kenia1234, you have been most committed. And we can only say that you are indeed one hell of a developer. My utmost respect to you. :) I also understand how you feel at this point of time, and I do respect whatever decision you have. All I can say is this, whatever roms that the sites have out there, I will be sticking to this thread and the rom here. The rom here has an unique identity which I am really comfortable and happy. The rest are secondary. :)

Well, the rest of the guys here have been simply awesome too. Every effort has been made to make it as friendly as possible. There wasn't a tinge of "I-know-something-and-you-don't" attitude. Everyone helping out everyone.

The rc5 rom

By far, this is the best release yet. Everything is working smooth. Autorotation works, download works, no fcs, and very little lag. After resolving the 3d drivers, i am totally at ease. I uses Zach's awesome kernel (antlion - conservative) and 3d works. What I have done is this:

Format system, cache, data and datadata. Flash rc5.

Let rc5 boot up. Test out the autorotation and it works.

go into recovery, and flash Zach's kernel.

Boot up, and check for autorotation and it works.

So now whenever I want to do a reboot, I will always do a hard reboot. that is, pressing power button for more than 10seconds. Doing so do not break the autorotation at all.

I also notice that Zach's kernel gives good battery consumption too. And I don't have any complaints about bugs. Both sdcard works fine, even unmounting I don't encounter any phone hangs.

As to the theme, I am using stock theme as a base, but icons I have changed to the 2.3 android theme, customized ringtones and notifications. I have added Samsung lock and unlock sound, and it works beautifully. wallpaper I'm using one of the supplied wallpaper, the one with the orange wave. The orange theme I feel is very refreshing. I do like it very much.

Last but not least, Kenia1234, we need you. I need you too to maintain a healthy post count. :D :D
