WM2003 advantages - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

Sorry guys,
i know that's a discussion already done in many posts, but i could't find something like i'm looking for...
...could anybody that already experienced both PPC2002 and WM2003 OS's say what are advantages (if there any) of upgrading to WM2003?
Thanks a lot
dNuOs

from what i hear with 2003 you dont have to manualy erease your SDcards
the system does that automaticly :wink:

Yes and you get to buy the latest software because the stuff you already have doesnt work.

come on
let's do say that it's considered a major improvement (speed/stability) over the older versions
Decebal

Battery Performance Improved
Colors and Display Improved
As Rudegar Automatic SD Card format
Consume memory
but i think in general its good better then 2002 in ways

never had the erase SD card thing happen to me and ive been on ppc2003 for ages now
i think its alot better atleast the phone repicks up signal if it has lost it unlike pc2002
everyone can always contact me now compared to pc2002 which kept diverting calls as of no signal ect...
media player is alot better
i think its the muttz nutz compared to pc2002 which was good but disapointing about loss of signal all the time.
speed is also a hell of alot faster even when suring the interet on it very much improved and love it to bits
gaz

Does the operating system affect signal performance, I thought it was the radio stack, or is it both?

pc2002 when up my mates i never had no signal and the phone bit would always hang and not pick it up again when i come back home meaing i had to soft reset like every few hours or so i was using the same radio stack as i am today v4.21
but on pc2003 when no signal the little dots under the signal bars like pulsate up and up till it gets a signal as in it tells the phone to keep going to find it
and up my mates i get like 1 or 2 bars
gaz

Hi All, here is my 2 cents. I believe it's now an essential upgrade, just ties the whole phone PDA thing closer together. A few "rough" edges with 2002, including issues with number selection when accessing contacts through the phone app & missing functions just made it odd & a bit wrong.
In General
* OS is more stable and required less soft resets
* OS does seem faster with the more recent releases
* Integration between phone and pda tightened (still needs work)
Specific New Functions
* Counter for SMS characters now inbuilt, not 3rd party addon
* Predictive lookup when addressing SMS messages (with Letter Recog)
* Split volume for PDA functions and phone functions (this is important)
* Inbuilt VPN client with certificate auth ability
* More refined connection manager for modem, VPN & proxy
* Most recent version of Windows Media Player (v9.0 Build 13100)
* New ring tones inbuilt to ROM
* Enhanced Messaging Support
* Enhanced Contacts
* Enhanced Calendar
* New app 'Pictures' Image Viewer (this is quite good)
* New game, Jawbreaker®
* Improved pIE Performance
Specific Bugs
* Contact lookup from phone works correclty
* Addition of numbers to speed dial works correctly
* I'm sure many more things should be here!
The other new functions in WM2003 are specific to wireless/bluetooth and all that jazz, obviously this is not a consideration with the XDA type phone just yet (wait for XDA II). A full list of them can be found at;
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/products/pocketpc/about/2003/pie.mspx
I'm sure that i've missed quite a bit so anyone feel free to jump in and add to this list. Hope this helps.
Cheers

Rom Update ???

Well I finally have my new device and it looks like i might have a little time this weekend to make an update and fix some minor bugs in my rom. please post suggestions here. All suggestions need to be in my friday midnight EST. thanks
How about making these changes to your last ROM?
- 16mb page pool to see if it goes a little faster.
- Do not auto download the quick gps data during the setting phase, since the device does not have time and data connection yet at that phase.
- update the large menu text cab so that it works. I had to look for the cab elsewhere last time.'
- Focus on speed.
- Keep it ultra vanilla. This is your number one selling point for me. I don't want all third party application to be chosen by myself and not seeing duplicated application/old versions/unused application.
- Make sure it is spl1.2. Do not want to lose memory for useless applications.
- If you intent to use newer built (Are you thinking of Touch Pro?), make sure it still supports Gsen application, and has random access for contact application. I personally love these two features.
- Make sure it has no htc touchflo or Ftouchflo. Have Ftouchflosl trial version if you wish. Else leave it for user to decide.
- Again, leaveb out realVGA. Some of us don't use it anymore.
- Continue to leave out HTC Home, and have just one theme. HTC Home They are all add ons.
- An important bug to fix is its inabikity to delete POP3 mails. Currently I can only delete non-POP3 mail, but for my pop3 mail, I'm forced to sign into the web-mail to delete them to prevent mail-box overflow. This is a pain.
Frankly, I'm still so happy with your last ROM, although I feel the speed could be further improved. So if there is only one change, let there be just speed improvement.
Thanks irus. I look forward to your fantastic ROM.
I'm now using Michy's rom whose main merits are speed and stability, but I like your Gsen function very much. I hope you can integrate the above-mentioned features in your new rom.
I would suggest no changing from your latest rom which I think is perfect, only bugfixes.
Changing could be for a newer release while I think your last one deserves just a trimming to be a reference rom. (I can't download full messages from the mail program???)
I would say fix the known bugs, increase speed if possible. After releasing that version, you can spend sometime looking at other possibilities (lite version, other builds or base, new features, etc...).
The lite / vanilla builds never actually worked in the long run for me because it always seemed something was missing which caused other applications not to work properly. They always seemed fast and potentially stable for a few weeks. After installing my apps and heavy usage, it always seemed to have gone down hill. Nonetheless, a lot PPL here love them.
It is also very important that auto rotate, gsen, and other features continue to work because I believe a lot of PPL stuck with this base because that stuff work well with on this ROM.
I never tried your rom mainly because I had the impression it was missing MMS. I know it is fairly easy to install myself, but I hadn't time to look for a proper version.
If your rom contains MMS, then forget about this post
Yes! also mms. I would consider the missing of it nearly a bug to be fixed as it is a standard feature of the athena missing... It is true that most of us don't use mms, but just in case...
ok these are all good suggestions, i will keep them in mind
I currently use your FULL ROM/3.5 and find it to be excellent. I hope you will NOT include any real VGA additions. Every one of them I have tried so far causes display problems with my "must use" apps.
Thanks for all your hard work.
I've tested All Athena ROM available.
I am using now the Sogarth base, isn't the fastest, isn't the most complete, but it is stable, has gsensor, big htc home, audio player doesn't stop working in suspend mode, index bar in contacts, battery life is great WITH BT enabled and some diamond enhancements.
The probem is ... it has to be tweaked
.net35 AND net2.0 to have compatibility with older and newest applications (modaco netcf config), some registry tweaks to improve the speed , michy's sound enhancement are much better, athena sensor service has to be stopped, IMHO are needed:
1) a newest remote desktop,
2) wifirouter (ori ICS control) ,
3) schaps advanced config ,
4) moblue,
5) total commander,
6) irus fsplayer,
7) pocketrar,
8) omnia d3d drivers,
9) Gsen,
10) wkTask (HTC Xbutton removed),
11) cyberon voice dial
12) I need mms too
I don't need realvga, the applications I like could use VGA resolution without realvga! Last, but not least, having and athena ROM CLOSER to diamond ROM should be easy to have compatibility with diamond and raphael applications (the most "developed" HTC model)
I strongly suggest a newest Sogarth, not "Extreme" but improved one (SPL 3.5). and "Extreme Sogarth" lite SPL 1.2 and 3.5 tweaked for maximum speed

I have forgotten if you use the extrom.
If you don't , could you ask michyprima for his ap to access this .
It is called "Addins"
there's a new base rom popped up in the general forum..
Scratch that I can't find it now..

I think that app is good but only if you have the loop problem as all my roms are uc compliant, which is the same thing just launches from the sd card not ext rom.

it installs everything in the sdconfig.txt file but if you don't want something just delete that line of text. when i release my next version i will put a template of sdconfig.txt but this will only work for people without the loop problem.

EnergyROM "Business" Edition

I'm thinking of another ROM line, to be good enough to use for business (so it has to be very stable) and with toned down, professional graphics. This will very much be a "clean" ROM, with no extra BS apps or addons. Can I hear some suggestions please ?
Looking forward to it..
As you already know, I'm not a huge fan of the HTC apps/enhancements, so I would leave those out with the option of installing via cab, or have them in the ROM with a working toggle to turn them off.
I would say do as many of the "under the hood" tweaks you can do without sacrificing stability.
As for graphics, I already like your taskbar in your WM6.5 series, and I think that could stay. I'm not sure what changes you would have in mind for graphics, but I think the graphics you have now are pretty clean.
Are you thinking of a WM6.5 ROM or a WM6.1 ROM? I didn't see that mentioned, so I thought I would ask since you've done both in the past.
i think you should go with stock graphics people customize if they choose. my ideal business rom would be like juicy's cdma one
"It's business, It's business time!" - Flight of the Conchords
I think this is a GREAT idea. Would this be 6.1 or 6.5? 6.5 is very close to being capable of generating a "stable" ROM.
Even though this is business oriented, I think anyone would much appreciate the style (icons, themes, graphics) that you put into your ROMs. Same would hold true for most of the enhancements. Maybe trim down some of the fluff.
simple is the Best
go for it am sure will be a good Rom.
Good Luck
WOW, another one. jeez, you gonna be busy LOL. I get frustrated sometimes with just the one version. More power to ya
What about a stock looking version? I know some people would like a ROM that is much better than the crappy one that comes preinstalled. I think you might get a lot of hits from a lighter ROM that looks semi-stock. As stable as stock, but with all the enhancements and tweaks you can squeeze into it. Possibly a 6.5 and 6.1 version.
I think it's a very good idea and in my opinion the ROM must be based on WM 6.1. Email/SMS/MMS/Vido call/WIfi/ must work without a hitch. You could include opera 9.7b and maybe IE 8.
These are my suggestions. Merci.
P.S. i only use your roms!

Newer versions of PIE only work with 6.5 as far as I know. I agree that the most stable ROM is going to be 6.1, but if you go with 6.5 I would suggest an older build. 23001 seems like a turd to me. Went back to 21820 and its twice as fast with no bugs.
3 important things for a business ROM:
1. As clean as possible (only essential progs. installed, like Pim Backup, Adobe Reader, Pocket RAR, Google Maps, GPS Test)
2. Stable = reliable
3. Good battery life

lol i know what you mean
I have reverted back to 21018. After playing around with 4 later builds and a little go with 6.5 I am back here to old faithful. Very fast, battery burns lean, and every build i have tried later than this had some problem or other. slow/buggy or battery destroyer.
Easy to Use Dialer
Dialer:...................Accurate - consistent - easy to use - good speaker phone / mute / automated menu support
Three interfaces:....TF3D2 – Titanium – Win Phone Basic Text interface
Graphics:...............Clean with color - Landscape mode 6.1 style (quick easy buttons) Portrait Mode Action softkey
GPS:.....................Good stand alone support (no data plan)
MMS:....................Support for the largest attachments the carriers will allow
SMS:....................Good support for text conversations
Weather:...............Good support for text and graphic reports in all interfaces
Stocks:.................Good support for text and graphic reports in all interfaces
Wifi / Networking:...Corporate and HotSpot support
Programs Tab:........(TD3D2) 3 or 4 column option with app names under icons
Good battery life Business does not mean Boring – It means Practical Predictable Performance​​
Apps
I would say:
Remote Desktop
World Card
Adobe Reader
Office Suite (obviously)
Google Maps AND Live Search
All of the basics for GPS- QuickGPS, aGPS settings, etc.
Live Messenger (for Office Communicator support)
Those are the 'business' tools that I use most. Does that help?
yes yes yes
thank you for start takeing this as trend
please under the hood basic application
some applications in my rom i cant even remember when i used them
the most imprtant is Battary vs application ( i have charger at the car,home , office., .......poof....)
any small clock tic will eat somthing from the phone
Ram and heat.
my x1 cracked because of the heat, my ear after a good call get fride.
some rams goes above 60%
example i tried yesterday to put my phone in full withe new cocked rom( backlight full and battery power on ) the battarey draind in less than 2 hours, without any call or sms ... nothing
but applications like email,office,sms,organizer and contacts will be fine
yes please Business Edition is great what ever under the hood
Loved the Energy Rom3......but it was lacking (I could not find anyways) Voice Command applet. I use blue-tooth headset continually and have calls/messaging/reminders etc routed thru blue-tooth headset. Would love to see that in the business edition. That's mostly what this phone is used for.

Those **** roms are terrible...
This is an awesome idea... The chrome version was cool... but perhaps more emphasis on productivity. A nice action screen that brings up all of the things you would use on a daily basis and keeps them right at your fingertips... I know I need to take notes at a moments notice in my job... and it's hard to get things where I need them to be sometimes...
Also contacts and appointments are of the utmost importance... Constantly scheduling things and changing them around, it's nice to have things in an easily accessible spot...
Though I don't spend much time on the phone lately... I would imagine bluetooth would be crucial as well... and having as much control from the headset as possible would also be nice...
Then of course some "hey check me out *****es" graphics and apps that are streamlined and professional looking enough to show your boss when you pull the phone out and he asks "what the hell is that thing?"
That's just my $ 750,500,000 ZWD
Quite honestly, your current ROM is fit for business and displays appropriate graphics and tones. The add-ons are typically ones the manufacturers have missed and allow a much better experience than stock. I work with professionals everyday and when I show off ROM's from XDA, they often say if I had seen that at ATT or T-Mobile, I would have purchased this phone vs. Blackberry or iPhone.
This sounds like what I've been waiting for!
A simple WM6.5 interface that is stable and fast. No touchflo, as we all know that is not for business users. I think the best thing for this special business line, is that all the under the hood settings come pre-configured, and don't give us the option to make advanced config changes. I seriously waste so much time trying to tinker with the settings, and eventually make the device less stable.
Also this line should have one application for each function. I rarely need 15 chat clients, and 10 media apps!
Great idea.. Make sure to add Stock and Weather to Chome 6.5 These are helpful for those business travelers on the go with an eye on the market.. The JML Stocks plugin is sweet!!!!
Is this really needed?
I'm nearly new with this machine, but a very heavy Bussiness user of HTC PDAs for 5 years.
Comming from an Hermes, I have flashed your Energy Magic Rom 20090630 after two week of trying the stock one and threads reading here, and for me your main rom is fast, accurate, conservative with battery and completly perfect for work.
If someone feel titanium or tf3d improductive, it could be dissable. And the same could be done with the new menus and notification style.... To change three or four options in the default behaviour of your rom, that could be made with a few clicks here and there, don't justify a new line of roms.
Just my though...

[FIRMWARE] - 16/12/10 - Firmware 2.0.71 released

Hello guys.
I just see it on a french Archos Forum, there's a new Firmware released for Gen8 Devices.
Download it from Archos Website
What's new :
Version 2.0.71 - December 16th, 2010
* Wi-Fi: fix Wi-Fi stuck after a while when using WPA2/AES encryption mode
* Wi-Fi: fix cannot connect on channels above 11 due to wrong default regulation domain
* Power management: for A43/A70/A101 add a setting in about device to allow 3 levels of power management. Overdrive that allows CPU max frequency to be 1GHz with ondemand governor, optimal that brings CPU max frequency to 800MHz with ondemand governor and powersave that set CPU max frequency to 800MHz with conservative governor
* Indexing: faster rescan is now achieved at USB disconnect
* Storage: SDCard now supports NTFS (read only) and EXT3
* Storage: fix sdcard not recognized sometimes when swapping different cards brands
* Video: fix subtitles on A101
* Network shares: enhance scanning speed
* Network shares: handle the case where a server shares are not visible if not authenticated
* Network shares: allow in wireless settings to define manually a server authentication details
* Network shares: reload samba and UPnP services when switching between access points without disconnecting
* Audio: a silent mode (Global Mute) has been enabled in the power button menu. It will impact all streams except alarms in case one select alarms sound always on in alarm settings
* Application: appslib is now reinstalled after an Android device reset
* Application: fix quadrant CPU benchmark
* Power: fix shutdown sometimes happening on short power button press
* Internationalization: support for Korean codepage tags and subtitles
* Multimedia: use smaller memory footprint for decoding H264 SD
* Memory management: achieve more progressive kill in low memory situation
* Boot: fix deadlock happening sometimes preventing device to complete boot
As I see on some forums, there's a good feedback about this update
Have a good flash
Nice. Faster rescan, memory management, wifi fixes, power fix, 1000MHz back, and other fixes. That'll fix quite a lot of issues.
I have to raise my eyebrow on the 'fix quadrant CPU benchmark' though... That sounds like optimizing for a benchmark app, which ruin the entire purpose of benchmarking... @[email protected]
edit: Oh hey, it's posted already at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875393
Oh sorry for the double post...
Archie defanitly got the update right. The course and memory settings make it much better.
Makes a bunch of apps in the market disappear again. I'm pulling my hair out.
I did a complete format and installed the market and everything is working fine. Same number of apps as before the update. Try a full reformat by shutting down and booting up by pressing volume down and power.
Edit: love the new update. Feels much faster. Good job archos.

Just flashed it and no apps have been gone missing. I'm not able to use the market enabler anymore, though, since temp root isn't possible anymore. Without it I'm stuck with the german market and there are several interesting apps not showing up, for whatever reason.

It's better with this update, but it's still not enough by a long shot. This Archos desperately needs a lagfix solution like on the Samsung Galaxy, this way its no contender for the iPad.
the gen8 archos doesn't have etf or do i miss something?
so a lag fix (at least like that on sgs wouldn't help or do i miss smth) i am very happy with the performance it's not as fast as the sgs newest software + lagfix but it's quite fast but i haven't installed a lot of software perhaps it will get worser

It would never be a contender. I have never understood comparing everything to Apple. They make good items for there system. This is Android and not the same system. Let this stand on it own merits. Just a thought these days.
Now lets compare it to the SGT. That is a over priced tablet but has Market access and root access. I hope we can get to the point with this software.
So on that note I have not changed to the new software since we lose all root. So i have not seen the grand changes that people are happy about.
Faldiin
When they're of similar function, there's no reason not to compare them. That's the only way we can decide what to buy in the list of available tablets.
That said, I'm not fond of apple products. They're 'locked down tight' (ignoring jailbreaking) and highly priced.
And same I've not switched to the new software since I do not want to lose root. It works well enough as it is as long as I have root.

As I see the point to your thought, I may not agree since there is to much going on about IPad killer and IPhone Killer. This is why I find this part getting annoying. So there is plenty of merit to what you say. As far as the apple I completely agree. I was trying to talk my sister out of an IPad. Worst of it she has a droid Incredible and she is still opting for the IPad. Some people are just paying for the software and have no idea.

* palm-generate now generates Enyo apps (Mac and Linux only in this build). Note that in generated Enyo apps, the (full) path to enyo.js will need to be specified in index.html in order for the app to load in a desktop browser. For example, on the Mac, this would be “/opt/PalmSDK/Current/share/framework/enyo/1.0/framework/enyo.js”.
Code Samples
The following new code samples have been added:
* Accelerometer – Demonstrates getting accelerometer, shaking, and orientation events.
* InputSample – Integrated the existing multitouch sample.
* Media – Added new Video Object demo, which demonstrates use of an HTML5 video object to play video inline with custom controls and sizing control.
* MediaCapture – Demonstrates the new media capture APIs for sound, video, and images.
* Services – Added Media Indexer sample.
* WebView – Added example of intercepting link clicks and redirecting.
* ZeroConf – Demonstrates the ZeroConf system service. ZeroConf is a discovery protocol that lets you find services on the local network without having to have a directory or DNS listing.
ExhibitionMode
* Fixed bug in which the app, after being launched in Exhibition Mode, could not be relaunched in app mode.
JustType
* Fixed db8 schema version issue.
* Known Issues and Limitations
* SDL apps may hang due to problems with polling new sensors.
* SDL apps may crash when blitting to or from a NULL surface. The underlying issue has been identified and will be fixed in the next SDK release.

Someone in RootzWiki reported that installing 3.0.4 will break moboot and therefore you wont be able to boot CM7, CWM etc
all tweaks are gone :/ just deleted all apps restarting and trying to re-install preware, i'll let you guys know what happens
would this delete current installed applications?
Muahahahahah

Confirmed, but after copying Moboot_0.3.3.zip in a "cminstall" folder at the root of the TP, you just have to reinstall Moboot with the ACMEinstaller to boot again CM7.
Would I be able to reinstall the 1.7GHz overclock if I update to 3.0.4? As snappy as it may be I doubt it is a full replacement for having 1.7GHz of power
okay, just a quick update, everything still works fine except private browsing for some reason, but other then that, i'm just waiting to over clock this bad boy again, *sigh* this is the best $150 i ever spent

Kernals won't work until they are upgraded fro the new version of WebOS.

You should watch the video posted a while ago. 1.7 over lock and 3.0.4 performed the same side by side.
I don't have a link sorry.

Yeah, it appears the patches are all gone but none were critical for me. The overclocking will be nice if it improves anything but I have suspected they underclocked it due to some timing issues. I would see random instances where it would sort of freeze up with the OC. I want to play with it without Uberkenral for a bit.
As for CM7, I am holding off until the first release candidate comes out. I don't gain much going to CM7 until it's more stable and I frankly prefer WebOs to Android. I can run my Android stuff on my NC for now while they get the power, wifi and SD card stuff sorted out. It's still certainly a great alpha release.
NICE! Don't care about CM7 really, I would actually rather delete it at this point until it's stable.. the kernels thing kinda bugs me though.
Anyone get the new kernels working yet?

you're just going to have to wait until the developers update their kernels.
I'm uploading a 304 doctor for those that couldn't do it OTA.
UPDATE: here is the link:

Dosent respond
Hi,
i updated my touchpad, it is orgnial no mods or fixs.
After the installation of the update the screen dosent respond... tried reboot ect.
do any one have an idea on how i can get it working?
OPJ
You can try to doctor your tab with the webOSdoctor that scrizz has just uploaded one post before
The (simple) procedure is explained here.

[ROM][10/NOV/13][UNOFFICIAL][4.3.1] PACman [Source Build] - impressions - Q&A/T

First, I'd like to thank Josegalre and all that have helped him in developing this ROM. It's a very good ROM that shows much promise. I hope that this will both help the developer(s) in resolving the issues I encountered, and in deciding if this ROM is suitable for your device.
The powers that be here won't allow me to post in the development threads, because I'm a "newbie". I may be here, but I'm a "Recognized Contributor" on Tytung's Nexus-HD2 forum with the handle of "Odysseus".
Since the board's software also won't allow me to post links yet, let me take a brief moment to introduce myself. I've been a computer hobbyist since before most here were born (got my first PC in 1984). I was an "official" beta-tester on the old Compuserve network for Microsoft's "Chicago" project that later became Windows 95, then continued in that capacity for Win 98, NT-4.0, Win ME, Win 2000, and finally Windows XP, before I jumped ship completely to Linux. I had been experimenting with Linux since 1997, but made it primary OS in 2001. I've been running Gentoo Linux (a source-based distribution) since 2003 and more specifically using the latest cutting edge "unstable" repositories or as we say in Gentoo "~arch" since 2005. I'm a contributor on the Gentoo and Sabyon Linux Forums as "Odysseus". I've also contributed to the Gentoo project itself, as I've submitted patches that have been accepted into the kernel tree, developed several workarounds and have written numerous detailed bug reports to both the Gentoo and upstream developers as I've discovered issues. Not bad for a 51 year old truck driver with no formal training.
Back to the topic: Since I can't post in the other thread and there is no Q/A&T thread yet for the new [ROM][10/NOV/13][UNOFFICIAL][4.3.1] PACman [Source Build] project I'd thought I'd start one here.
After using it for a day these are my observations, It's solid and stable, but does have a few issues that need to be resolved before it can become my daily driver and they are:
1) Data acquisition - This is a show stopper for me. Much like the recent Evervolve-3.3.0-p1, this ROM takes quite a bit of time to establish a stable data connection. In my case it can take anywhere from 3-10 mins for the signal to stabilize. Once connected, data transmission is as fast as it should be. This isn't a major problem if stationary, however, maintaining a usable connection while driving is problematic. WiFi on the other hand connects quickly and is very stable.
2) Battery life - Without tweaking this ROM under moderate use drains battery 25-35% faster than my current daily driver the "|Aug 6th| Energy™ -.¸¸.·´¯ ICS 4.0.3". I don't know what could be causing this issue. (Perhaps related to the data-connection issue?) My experience on both my HD2 and Amaze has been that Cyanogenmod based ROMs are generally more battery efficient than Sense based counterparts.
3) System-wide font size consistency - As mentioned, I'm no spring chicken. Even with my reading glasses on I need to increase font size to comfortably read on any ROM. Changing the system font-size in Jellybean based ROMs is usually a matter of changing the desired size in System Settings / Display, however, with this ROM there is no consistency. Some elements remain tiny (menu in browser), while others grow too large, furthermore, many apps don't appear to honor the system-wide settings. This is especially troublesome with the included browser.
4) The Browser - To me, the included browser is better suited for a larger screen. The fonts are extremely small even after increasing them system-wide. This applies to fonts in menus, title bar, address bar, tabs, and to the browser itself. Additional font size adjustment from within the browser to 115% for both bars and setting the minimum size to 14pts was still strained reading. My workaround was replacing it with one from Tytung's latest ROM.
5) Connecting to public WiFi hotspots - Generally WiFi works well, however there is a minor glitch when initially connecting. The default behavior should be to notify of potential connections as they become available. Once selected the browser launches if needed to complete the connection. I visited my local Starbucks yesterday shortly after installing, so the connection was already in the list. This morning I waited 10 mins before giving-up and manually initiating connecting, then manually launching my browser to complete connecting.
6) Camera and Video recorder - As mentioned in the development thread.auto-focus isn't working and the video recorder force closes immediately upon selection from within the app.
On a more positive note, most issues which have been plaguing Jellybean ROMS for the Amaze seem to have been resolved. There are no echoes anymore and adjusting in-call volume actually adjusts the volume, not the microphone. I haven't had a chance to check out tethering or bluetooth pairing yet, but will with the next release. Unfortunately, since I earn my living on the road, the data-connection issues require me to revert back to my old, but reliable EnergyRom.(thanks NRGZ28)
All in all, this is an outstanding effort that's very close to being a fully functional JellyBean ROM suitable for everyday use. It seems like things are progressing positively around here. With the upsurge in development recently we're sure to see one soon.Kudos to all involved!
If anyone else care to chime in, please feel free.to do so.
Ciao
