Default Re: [Aug 21] Psyki 4 - Custom Glass Manila 21 (23017530)
I'ts been over the weekend and some heavy trip use for work:

  • Battery: I have not noticed any gain in battery life. Still drain it easily in less than half a day of use. Of course I work in an area where 1x, 3g, and roaming, are constantly at odds for each others
  • Speed: Here I notice a hit over stock. It take quite a while to boot, start some apps (including internet) and access certain tabs in the Touch Flo.
    • Choosing the Programs tab takes 2-3 seconds to load the list
    • Delay of Touch Flo interface as you move across by swiping
    • Long Boot Time, 1:11 from soft reset to launch of Touch Flo, 1:23 from soft reset to able to switch tabs
  • On Screen Keyboard: In landscape mode it will deploy, then clear. A second click will redeploy it. However it will only display in portrait size with a white border to right.
  • Noticeable delay between switching modes (more than stock)
  • Hardware Keyboard: This is new to me. both ' and " when typed produce a single ' and both ; and : when typed produce a ; which means all your smilies be winking!
  • Backgrounds: Very nice for me, but in landscape mode the included background don't cover the original background and you have a widow of it on right edge about 10 pixels wide.
  • Start Menu: Nice Icon set, good separation of folders/items, in landscape background tiles
  • Icons: I really like these Icons and the glass presentation, however there are inconsistencies with screens appearances
  • Weather: Would be nice to include HTC Weather Master (as I live in middle of nowhere this is a standard need for me)
  • Lots of little unlocks to the phone from stock lock downs
  • First ROM I've had that has had the integration of Facebook with contacts, I like this feature, and look forward to its development.
  • Alerts: Text Message alerts play only a snipit of the alert if you are in a text message when a new on comes in, need a longer alert sound to make sure that you can hear it if you walked away with the message open.
  • Tweaks: Includes Tweaks (and a shortcut in menu to them) that refuse to load.
  • Like all 6.5 roms I've loaded limited txt entry from screen (ie no handwriting recognition)
I may sound down on it, but I'm still getting used to it, and unfortunately don't have enough ROMS under my belt to know what is fixable with outside corrections. I do very much like the way it looks, and the intention of it, but I feel execution is lacking. It truly suffers from minor errors (such as keyboard and sound) and a great deal of slugishness. However it has a lot of useful addons with very little excessive frills. But for me the deal killer is the hardware keyboard not typing what I type. Does anyone know a fix for this, so I can keep looking at this ROM?
