Mun's new build, does it worth it?

[danik_iceman]

Does it really worth waiting for a good cooked rom which has Mun's new rom as a base? What is the difference between the old build and the new ona, except the numbers?

There's two (and probably more) answers to this...

1) We are a bunch of geeks and some simply have to have the highest version number no matter if there are any benefits or not

2) Its a new release, and people want to hack away at it and conquer the challange that mUn has given them (again, its a geek thing ;))

So, basically no difference except the new numbers, right?
Or maybe it has some bug fixes or anything like that?

Still seeing the "turn on screen" issue, if I understand the symptoms as you're referring. If the phone's not locked, every 30 seconds or so after the backlight goes out, it will "wake up", as if program updated.

Enabling device lock stops this behavior.

hi!, actually the issue happends when the lock option is enable and the phone is locked. After a few seconds or minutes the screen suddenly turns on. The only workarround that works is to uncheck the backlight auto turn off feature.

Lock option + turn off backlight enabled = issue
Lock option + turn off backlight disabled = no issue

hmm, why is it that some people have this and some dont?

Im gonna do some tests and see what i can find. i have a general idea but i wont be able to see util later. Im off to go home now. Ill be back on in about an hour. Still working with matt lol

[bowlopho]

the screen backlight turns on when the device locks itself

thanks and pls be patient when testing because on latest mun release and faria real thing i noticed that i can wait several minutes (or hours) and nothing happened...but some times during the day i can see the screen turning on.....don't know why some devices don't have this behaviour, because i can reproduce this with every WM6 rom.....

I can confirm that it happens t some devices and doesn't happen to others.
I have T-Mobile MDA G3, my sister has the same T-mobile MDA G3 too. I have installed every single application that I have on mine to hers. And made two identical devices. (except she contumized her theme, sound, etc) And they both have the same ROM from the Faria's kitchen.
But, my device works fine, and doesn't have that waking up problem, whereas hers has.
So, this might help you to resolve the problem...

You know, it's no wonder why I feel so at home here! I could not have summed it up better myself. I might add bragging rights, but in my world when I tell someone I cooked my own rom and flashed my phone to the latest OS. People look at me like I am from Mars!! My wife says, :rolleyes: "Thats nice Dear...":rolleyes:

In a word, no. I've already pulled the goodies from MUN's rom to make a better Business Edition. In other words, you can take out Office, .net CF SP2 and Windows Live and build a ROM based on an earlier build that is identical, more stable and requires less work. The latest BE will be released today to a few beta testers, and I can promise you that it will be more stable and less buggy than ANY of the 1413 builds. Better yet, it contains everything that BE2 had. Why have higher numbers when you can have a better ROM.

Glad to hear that you are working on this. I switched from your BE rom to one of the cooked new builds and I'm not impressed as my phone hangs alot and i have to soft reset way too much.. looking forward to your new release i the near future. Matter in fact I'm going back to the BE right now..

Let me edit this. I've got One Note working but the other components of Office will take a bit. I'm going to consult with the brains and get this ironed out. I believe Office 2003 will be sufficient for now.

Well, these are the symptoms of addiction. :) Experiencing this too. LOL.
I don't know if it is good or bad, but I know I am gonna stay away from this non-stop rom flashing for next 2-3 months since I am gonna totally be away from the internet during this next period of time...

reason is simple: speed.

Its Saturday and I've got nothing better to do than break my phone this morning :)

But I'm also wondering whether its worth bothering to upgrade from the previous WM6 build - I've got everything working pretty much as I like it at the moment.

Does the new build change anything with regards to Outlook when used with Exchange 2003 SP2? And is Office 2007 compatibility the only difference with Office Mobile 2007?
