B&B 4.3 vs B&B 5.0

[brainstorming]

After testing during a few days B&B 5.0 I decided to downgrade to B&B 4.3 due to performance :( mainly (and also due to view style :cool:).

What do you think, guys? :rolleyes:

I didn't and am on 5.0, but yes, did notice performance degrade a little, and few bugs with Task Manager, Big Start Menu, and the setting og Gmail using IMAP.

For now I am looking forward to Artemis Touch 4 ROM .... hope to see it soon.

i moved to meschles vanilla 4.01 due to B&B 5.0 doing stupid things e.g. phone keeps turing itself on, reandomly soft resets etc. - and i had flashed it quite a few times.

waiting for Touch 4.0...

B&B 5.0 is very slow.

I can't agree with you guys that B&B v5 is slow. I make comparison this two roms with coreplayer benchmark, and Vanilla 4.01 is only ~2% faster than B&B v5, so this isn't too much IMHO.

Yeah, maybe I should be more clear. The GUI responsiveness of B&B 5.0 is very poor (slow). If somebody is calling me, it takes about 8 seconds for the phone to start ringing and few seconds more to display who is calling. Also the icons on start menu and settings load very slow. Sending SMS messages takes longer too. Programs load slow but when they are running, the speed is the same as on other ROMs. I guess becouse this depends on CPU speed which we all have the same.

I agree with you

- Battery lifetime is much less with B&B 5
- GUI is acting strange sometimes

mine work like charm. it could due to some application you installed. Download this Task Manager (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280104) and check which program take up CPU time during problematic situation (e.g. phone ring)

I guess WM6.1 is too much for our Artemis :(

I was thinking of downgrading to 4.3 from 5 due to all the bugs (such as phone getting stuck after entering standby mode whilst running a full screen app/game). I think Tom rushed B&B 5.0, and therefore did not test it, which has caused all these problems.

Instead of going back to 4.3, i decided to switch to Meschle's new Vanilla rom, and it works perfectly so i'll probably be staying with this until his full artmeis touch 4 rom comes out.

I think tom and meschle should join forces, making a fast, well performing (meschle) rom with good applications with an awesome GUI (tom).
