Does the flashlight control the LED?

Will

[Guest C3C0]

No. Torch app uses display. Blade doesn't have flash led.

[Guest WillDroid]

Ah, OK. The link to the app on the market says it controls the LED as well as an on-screen torch :)

Will

[Guest H3ROS]

This is a nice ROM. There's lot's of tweaks and I've not come across any bugs in my tests.

[Guest C3C0]

Yes. I am sharing the same impression.

[Guest zhecloud]

Any screenshot ?

[Guest C3C0]

More info and screenshots can be found in the official KonstaT's thread at:

Just downloaded and installed Swedish Snow, and I can honestly say SMOOTH

Much kudos for this port, gives me another ROM to play with

[Guest sc0use]

[Guest WillDroid]

Ooh, the HTC_IME that Paul made for the Blade works on this ROM.

Use the one for 2.2

Clicky!

[Guest bloomsan]

Superb ROM excellent performance.

[Guest uzb777]

Does the FlashLight work or not?

[Guest C3C0]

Second and third post...

[Guest C3C0]

KonstaT released new version of ROM today.

New features look to be amazing. I will wait for some time for any potential bugs to be sorted out and then

make a Skate port again.

[Guest skidvik]

Have to say this is the best rom I have used to date on my OMC and I have been through most of them. No problems what so ever.

[Guest]

I think this is a very good rom,excellent battery,stable,and you can use the cool themes from the blade...For a daily driver you can't go wrong here.I love all the ics & ice armor stuff,but you can't beat a good old solid gingerbread rom with no problems.

Looking forward to RLS5.

Edited March 12, 2012 by Guest

[Guest C3C0]

RLS5 has still some issues to iron out. It looks like there will be RLS6 soon that will deal with those issues and contain additional improvements. I will wait for this one to port.

[Guest C3C0]

[Guest Der_Floo]

[Guest pablitobm88]

Hello C3C0

Which of your two roms advice? Skate to use the social networking and news reading whatsapp

Thank you friend

Hard to tell, really :) Everyone prefers something else. The best way is to go and try yourself and decide what suits you best.

Swedish Snow has more features than Skatie but on the other hand Skatie has update kitchen running on web.

You should collect your own cons and pros you will find while trying both roms and then decide yourself.

[Guest ebus]

[Guest C3C0]
