[Q] Stick with Tiamat, or do the 3.1 upgrade?

[EwanG]

Have been very happy with Tiamat 1.4.0 since it lets me use my Bluetooth keyboard with no issues, and it did give SD Card support.

I gather if I do the 3.1 upgrade I lose the Tiamat kernel, and so may gain some things and lose others.

So, would you recommend the 3.1 upgrade anyway, or stick with Tiamat and 3.0 until there is a 3.1 compatible version of Tiamat?

Thanks!

3.1, it's worth it. Plus look in the dev section. I have my sd card working on 3.1.

OK, I have done the deed. Will have to see if my Bluetooth keyboard problems reappear going back to stock or not.

Anything in particular I should look at to convince myself this was the right thing to do?

Thanks,
Ewan

Well other people have reported on the general forum that 3.1 actually does is worse on the keyboard than 3.01

I haven't installed 3.1 because I love the speed that overclocking gives me. For me, there doesn't seem to be an awful lot to gain from 3.1 worth giving that up.
I'm interested to read your opinion, since you were also on the fence about it.

Well, for me it gives me in stock the two main things I installed Tiamat for - Bluetooth keyboard that works, and SD card support. I hardly ever use the stock browser, so the changes there don't really affect me. Hopefully I will see some improvement in video playback.

FWIW...

I'd recommend going ahead with the update (which I think you already did, but I'll write this for future users who have the same question). The reason is because the whole system feels snappier and more responsive (to me anyway). Scrolling is MUCH smoother and feels more like my android phone, which I love. I'm still getting a bit of stuttering when playing back HD flash files, but I had that when I was overclocked to 1.5ghz too. Once the next version of the Tiamat kernel comes out for 3.1, and we'll be able to overclock, 3.1 will be far and away better than 3.0.1. These guys are normally pretty quick about coming up with new kernels. I'm kinda surprised we haven't seen a few already, but I'm sure they're working hard on it.

Either way, you're gonna have to upgrade eventually, so you might as well get it over with. That's basically the way I saw it.

Best of luck to you with whichever you decide.

I also recommend upgrading to 3.1. It's just so smooth that I don't even miss the overclocking on the hacked kernels. Also, two days with no FC's on the stock browser etc. Smooth HQ youtube videos, and no problem with BT keyboard either. Everything to gain and nothing to lose. 3.1 with SD support from BRD FTW!
