i <3 my 6800

[kflipproductions]

so going through all of these threads, theres a lot of mixed emotions about certain roms and certain phones. well i know for a fact that i'm not the only one who is 100% stoked about how bomb their phone is. so i decided to start a thread where we can talk about our perfect setups

dcd 3.0.4
radio 3.35.04

i know everyone loves the free apps, but realistically, the best apps arent free. and even more realistically, there are very easy ways to make them free, if you know what i'm sayin.

My Today Screen:

my GPS tab is awesome
Goole Maps, Live Search, GPS Gate, iNav iGuidance, GPS Viewer, iGo 2006, Quick GPS

MMS works great thanks to a quick reg fix
Volume Tweak works great thanks to audiopara.cab
the phone is fast
GPS lock is generally less than 30 seconds, and is becoming more consistent

im surprised with all that on your today screen, that you don't have 90% or so of your RAM used up..

No battery issues even with GPS on? wow..

I have a titan too, I like to keep things simple

Mobile Shell and some other apps, most probably 10 but no more

surprisingly enough, my Today screen isn't all that taxing on my RAM. the only thing that i wish could a be a little smoother is my SMS. if i have 6 or 7 texts coming through at the same time it gets really bogged down and i get so frustrated. Currently, with everything running, i have about 17 mb of free ram. Not an ideal level, but everything runs as smoothly as if i boot in safe mode. I just started using BT, and i thought that it would kill my battery because of everything else that I'm running, there was actually no noticeable change at all in my battery life. with BT running all day and 100% brightness, my phone went 12 hours and dropped 80%. battery life is probably a little relative, but being able to go around 15hours with no power save options before my battery drains is pretty damn good in my book.

How much ram do you have after reboot?

[kflipproductions]

How much ram do you have after reboot?

immediately after soft reset - 16.64 mb free, so i'm using about 65%. not ideal, but not enough to cause any problems.

I love my xv6800 too. It's the best phone on Verizon by far.

Obviously, most of us wish the Tilt or some equal variant was available...but whatever, we gotta deal with being the bastard child of CDMA carriers who always get the shaft by phone developers.

[kflipproductions]

true that...

[Zenoran]

Verizon is a /win for service but a /suck for phone selection and UPDATE availability. I swear they could give 2 shits about their PDA community. I would love to switch over to the Sprint but service is horrid here in central ohio... Would be nice to get that cheap $30/month plan too but what's the point if you get 0 bars?

I'm sure I'll be singing a different tune when the Diamond is available from Sprint or something first. Verizon will just be realizing a new phone was released in about 2010 when it's already obsolete.

Oh sorry.. didn't mean to derail your thread with Verizon rants ;)

[kflipproductions]

haha but you did a really good job of derailing lol. this is was supposed to be a happy post. a**hole :p

I like to keep it simple...too much today bloat hinders performance and looks cluttered.
