[Guest ThinkinBig]

Are these the same AMSS and DSP1 from the previous 2.4 versions? As in, do they need to be reflashed if updating from 2.4.3?

[Guest friedje]

After installing this rom everything is running smooth except for the phone button when using the dell launcher (not a big deal though) but if im using other phone button below the screen is working..

[Guest hth2813]

Only one issus: USSD code error :(

This rom rocks \m/

[Guest iT iS Me]

Very smooth Rom, however keyboard does not recognize more than a language. I have selected 2 input languages (Arabic & English ) but in both keyboard types English.

UPDATE: Fix this by installing gingerbread keyboard from market.

[Guest ChicoKiri]

I was bummed about the Chainfire3D driver killing GPS on 2.4.3. That was thankfully fixed in 2.4.4, but somehow Dungeon Defenders became totally unplayable, with or without the driver. I'm curious what caused the sudden performance drop.

Outside of that one app, the rom's been plenty speedy though. I'll look forward to testing it further tomorrow morning.

[Guest kzintz]

Same here -- all seems great .. little issue is phone icon on dell launcher dock says no application installed.
