English?

Anyway, I can't say I agree with what I think this guy said. I've run Kavana and Ricky's v24 for extended periods of time and both were very stable and fast compared to either of the new Rose roms. Also, the battery life is MUCH better with the older roms.

The software offered in the roms are pretty close across the board, though I would compare NRG's Rose 1.3 with Kavana and the 1.7 Ricky/Stylez remade Rose with Ricky's v24.

The Rose rom is supposedly easier to customize because of the new core being used, but honestly, I don't screw around with my homescreen much after I have it set the way I want, so I don't care about having to soft-reset from time to time after changes.

The only reason I'm sticking with the Rose 1.7 at the moment, is because I do think that it's more polished than the older roms (aesthetically)... though I may end up going back to Ricky's v24 in the future if the battery life and occasional freeze ups piss me off enough.

So what ROM did you settle on? I'm considering going back to Ricky's v24... running Rose v1.7 with Miniweather 1.3 and my network connection never disconnects on its own after an update, which I think is killing my battery life.

Kavanas this week lol.... i didnt have my phone for about three months and when i came back the rose roms were out... the text messaging in Kavanas "not sure about ricky's i have not used that one in awhile". but the predictive text actually remembers text such as my name gymwhaley in Kavanas.. in rose remade 1.7 i dont believe it did, or i just may not have had the settings correct.. . those three are great but i test with one hand alot and sign in to places online so having predictive text that remebers words not in a english dictonary makes things a little faster

FYI, the predictive text can be fixed in the Rose rom by installing the Tegic T9 cab, IIRC. Anyway, I'm not trying to sway you one way or another... I'm just curious. As I said, I'm not sure that I'll stick to the Rose yet myself... my biggest pet peeve with it is the bad battery life, which I believe the network connection not disconnecting may be a contributing factor. It's also more prone to lockups when trying to get into the new comm manager and a few other places.

i saw that a few days ago about the fix for predictive text, but had already swiched, batt life was not vay good, but i know i need a new batt so until i get one i really cant comment on it... and alot of lockups i had were do to smart took kit rc 09 or what ever on 1.7. using 8 now and have no problems.. ( on 1.7 and kanvanas )i know 9 had problems but i had to give it a try anyways. and i did have a few comm manager issues in 1.7... cant wait till another rom comes

Just a quick update... it seems the network never disconnecting is a byproduct of NRG's MiniWeather 1.2 and 1.3 application. I tried them again, using the appropriate roms, and the network connections stays on regardless. So please disregard my previous assertion that the Rose roms were causing the connection issue.

thank u so much for the feedback..

im thinking i should stick to kavana for a while, i am really new to these stuff so i am thinking of sticking to the basics.

yeah battery is another main factor,

i noticed that since ive been using kavana... the battery isnt giving that much time as it used to in WM5... i havent really checked it.. its just a hunch...

May I add one question?
Which version(s) are able to cope with the german keyboard layout of my XDA Cosmo? Somewhere I read that some versions are English only, which does not hurt, i am just curious if i can select the proper keyboard...
Thank you.

Number of hours isn't a good question, because many of us are no longer using the oem battery, so it's not apples to apples. I'm using a Seidio battery which is the same size, but approximately 30% higher capacity than the stock battery.

With Ricky's v24 remake of Kavana's rom, I would typically need to charge every other day (36-40 hours). With the Rose, I need to charge approx. every 18-20 hours or so. But I don't know how much of the decrease in battery life is attributable to the rom and how much is because of the Edge connection staying on constantly because of NRG's MiniWeather.

I would definitely consider Ricky's v24 if you want to maximize battery life...it's very similar to Kavana, but has numerous apps already installed with the rom. I started out with Kavana and had "upgraded" to v24 within a couple weeks.

You can enable the office panel and it will go straight to create rather than open up program create new :)
