EXT4 does make a big difference. I really like this and seems to work well. The only issue I have is Google Voice seems to stop running, so I don't get my text messages. If I open it, it will refresh and be OK for awhile. Eventually it seems to close and doesn't stay running in the background. Is there a task killer running on this rom? I checked out the task killer app but I don't see how to exclude GV. thanks again!

There is no task killer app in this ROM, but I have had problems with some of the new versions of Google Voice. This version has been rock solid for me for a while: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1002279
