no2chem's 5060 build uses 3.35.04 on up, but I can't remember which older build switched from radio 3.27....

How about some links on the front post to each of the ROMs and Radios.

Naw....on that point my opinion is to discourage it. General items can be great but at what point do too many sticky threads at the top become too cluttered and actually discourage their intent of quick glancing info...?

General stickies require less maintenance for administrators to remove the outdated or supplemented ROM/Kitchen sticky threads and replace with another. Plus who's ROM/Kitchen or app get's the bonus of a sticky thread? This forum is fantastic without competition between developers and everyone working respectfully together. I can see one person making a request for their thread to become a sticky and then the dominoes falling of others doing the same and moderators eventually getting frustrated at being called up to maintain it. We could try and get one of our regulars moderator status, but I don't think that's necessary.

For ROMs/Kitchens/Apps, I think the way we have it now works just fine. The Wiki already has links to ROMs and radios, where all kitchen builders and any member here can update at will. To find any of that from the first page of the forum it is only 2 links deep (from the Titan Wiki sticky thread). The forum search function also gets neglected by some. gcincotta could keep updating the first post in this thread with direct links to the mentioned builds, but that can be a lot of extra & regular work for one person. The current ROM/Kitchen threads don't get sunk too far back in the forum as long as interest and posts to those threads remain active.

The worst case scenerio is to have the first page of this upgrading forum confused and full of stickies....almost like that found at PPGeeks....

Maybe you mis-read my post or meant to quote someone else.
Each of the ROMs and Radios are already referred to in the first post of this thread. My suggestion is to make the text in the first post for each of the ROMs and Radios referenced into a hyperlink that would allow the reader to link to the forum thread where the ROM or Radio that they are interested in is detailed. In no way would I like to see more sticky threads, I think the one is fine.

Also, by what account is the 3.39.10 Radio considered to be the best? Is there any benefit to it over the 3.35 radio or are we flashing for the sake of flasing?

Sorry maskedlion, yeah I rushed & barely glanced at your post... That's up to gcincotta if he wants to take on the load or not. As it is, I think he's done a fine job.

My preference would be for each of the ROM/Radio groupings to link directly to the Wiki pages for Titan with GPS Home Page, Titan older pre-GPS ROMs Home Page, and Titan Stock Home Page. Only one place then to maintain but still returning the info and links to the needed threads/files.

The purpose for this sticky is for reference for newcomers to our community. Yes, the information is available on the wiki, but most people who come here don't bother to read much as it is before flashing, nevermind go to another site to read up on it.

I've seen post after post after post flooding dcd's kitchen thread from people who have flashed a 3.x.x rom and are using the 3.27 radio, or worse, come from stock and just flash a 3.x.x rom. My intent for this was/is for it to catch their eye beforehand.

I'm not posting instructions on how to aquire said roms/radios, nor am I posting where to find them, that's what the search function is for and that's why we have a wiki.

To maskedillion regarding radio 3.39.10, when Sprint/HTC released their update activating GPS/RevA they also released radio 3.35.04. With their recent update, they have released radio 3.39.10. New firmware is new firmware. I'm sure Sprint/HTC wouldn't have bothered to release a new radio if there wasn't SOME improvement. Radio 3.37.20 was released from Alltel/HTC with their update activating GPS/RevA. My question to you is, if you're an engineer writing radio firmware, would you bother to sit down and write new firmware just for the sake of it? Or would you write new firmware if you have additions/updates to make to the old firmware? I'm an engineer myself and I write firmware for a living, and I would choose the latter. If people don't want to use the new radio they don't have to, but I'm personally recommending it due to pure common sense.

It should be noted that the Sprint 3.39.10 radio and associated OS was leaked (as 3.27) from their internal testing and hasn't been released to the public.

Right...it was leaked...but it's probably not as "experimental" as was 3.27. When 3.27 was leaked it was while testing GPS/RevA...now that both have been released (with 3.35.04), I highly doubt 3.39.10 is as buggy as 3.27. Sprint may release an even newer radio when they officially release this update, and if so I'll indicate that on the first page. I will indicate that it is a pre-released radio though.

My 2 cents:

On the stock rom radios, at least on verizon, I had problems with 1.40, but found 1.47 and 2.13 the best of that bunch.

On the latest rom radios, again with verizon, I would rank them 3.39>3.35>3.37. I found them all similar on cell, and wifi; but found 3.35 a little better than 3.37 on gps and bluetooth, and 3.39 to be better on gps and much better on bluetooth than either of the other two.

I don't pay a lot of attention to battery life (always prepared after 2.5 years with the battery poor samsung i730) and imo it depends alot on your location, but 3.39 seems a little better in that category as well.
