The rom is running super smooth and I am very happy with it, I know its only been 1 day so far, but it seems very reliable. TY so much for this, I just love my phone now!!

It definatly is stable and smooth and as to the partition i set with rom toolbox i reduced it to 128mb and my launcher loads noticably slower with showing icons im gunna set it back to a gig and see how it works so if anyone else has a lag showing your icons and scrolling long pdfs like i do it may help
Also iswear you have some sort of personal location info somewhere cuz i cant get anything close to local connections on speedtest. Im always gettin witchita ks or somewhere in co

I just flashed the messaging dark HD .. I can't send pic messages..

This is ironic. I've been sending pic messages to everybody I know with no problem except... everybody I know that has sprint is getting the message and the download button but the pic won't download.

Thanks guys, my apologies, I will have a new one up momentarily with the fix for this, I have confirmed about sprint/non sprint not getting text pictures.

I appreciate your finding this for me!

EDIT: New MMS Link updated in post 3, and here it is, flash in cwm.

EDIT EDIT: Updated full install with working MMS, again apologies to all who experienced issues.

if it was local to me, it would be Dimondale, MI (central michigan area)

I have just tried speedtest and it def knows where I am.

Make sure you have set it to use gps and wireless in settings/location and security, top two checkboxes.

curios, when you start speedtest does the gps icon come on at the top of your screen?

12 hours here running noob v. No problems as of yet. Added ram booster and swapper 2. Everything is really smooth and responsive. Only issue I have found is when my phone tries to switch views when I lay it down the screen blacks out. Like it won't swap out.

the ROM sets swap and readahead so I don't know why you would want those apps, you probably want to go into system/etc/init.d and delete the swap script and system/etc/init.d2 and delete the readahead if you are really want to use those programs so there aren't conflicts.

I am not sure I understand the issue, so if you rotate your phone the screen blacks out in between switching between portrait/landscape? You said something aboutlaying it down but I don't understand what that means.

You might need to calibrate your sensor, go to settings/display/calibration.

not sure what would make it "black out"

One thing to try, I like this app for re-calibrating gps, open it and go into it's settings/toolbox

Another one that is really good is GPSfix

I'm still having trouble sending/receiving pic messages.... what I'm I doing wrong ??

just to make sure, you flashed the new messaging zip I just posted today?

You may need to delete the telephony dbs, this will delete your messages so back them up if they are important using titanium.

Go into /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony and delete all the files in there.

Reboot into cwm and clear cache, then advanced clear dalvik

reboot, it will take a few minutes to rebuild dalvik and you should be good to go.
