HC or GB? - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

HC or GB?
Just wondering how many people use GB and how many HC...
After upgrading to HC and not liking it I reverted to GB again...
Here is a small list of pros/cons with HC
+True BT mouse support
+Pen support improvements
+Non full-screen apps now resize to take up the full-screen
+Live wallpapers continue when flicking between different home screens
-HTCs Fast Boot doesn't work
-Gameloft games do not work
-Phone functionality doesn't work
-Screen real estate is lost - since the hardware buttons are already there HTC should have made it so if an app is fullscreen hide the notification bar and light up the hardware buttons and make them usable again

I'm still at 2.3.3 rooted and S-Off on RUU WIFI ROM.
I really would like to use my pen anywhere I want, but seems like too many people are having issue with the HC Beta Rom. I use this daily for work and entertainment so I'm not quite ready to move to HC until HTC release a more fixes to the current Beta. Or someone cooks up something I really want.

What do you mean as far as screen real estate lost, The resolution doesn't fit the screen well ?

OP may be talking about the big status bar at the bottom, with the back and home buttons, instead of using the hardware capacitive buttons (as with the stock Flyer GB ROM).

Oh, 8 pixels... and there are tools to hide the statusbar. Therefore it is reversed.

Gameloft games are always a little flaky, probably because of all the performance tweaks they make. Reminds me of DOS games in the 90s that used direct hardware access breaking in Windows 95.

There's like 5 that are compatible with gb on the flyer/view. But others work. And the edits to make them work I got from a honeycomb
Device. So I don't see why they wouldn't on a honeycomb flyer. They work for me on gb.

After using FlyHoney for a week, I've been able to use all the applications I care about with no problems:
Evernote
Slacker
Logmein
1Password
Kindle
Repligo
I haven't had a single crash and performance is stellar. Without HC, the pen was really unusable. I don't know about who is complaining about HC problems, but you might not be reading the same forum that I am.
For a .2 release, I can't actually find a reason to upgrade to anything newer unless there are some major improvements.

Hiding the back/home/menu buttons defeats the purpose (and very useful utility) of always having those buttons available.

You can make them it disappear and come back at will so you can save the space and have the functionality.

Uh yeah, I know what "hiding" means. As I already mentioned, unhiding the buttons is an extra step, and is not the same as having those buttons always accessible.

Not quite true. Quite a few work on the original Samsung Galaxy Tab which shares the same screen resolution.
It's probably more to do with the pixels lost to the HC button bar.
