I did do the reading, I tried the release, I was doing all the updates, I ran the "fixes", I chatted back and forth with other members and all that. I also was aware there were issues before I flashed.
That being said, I figured I would have a better working knowledge of the ROM if I had it running on my device.
As far as the "ranting" goes, I found that (at least on my device) the stability wasn't where it should be, and seemed to get worse as the nightly updates progressed.
This, coupled with the lack of a working camera, gps and bluetooth without third-party apps, was too much for me to deal with right now.
so I am back on GB .596 running Broodcomb4.
Also, my "rant" was mostly observation (albeit sometimes fraught with frustration) in the fact that there was no repairing of missing items, and there was more "fluff" added to the "general" devices, which, although I can not prove they affected performance, I feel they did.
did I say this shouldn't have been released? No, I merely said it should have been called what it was, an Alpha release, this way, less expectations would have been placed on its performance and this type of conversation would not have been necessary.
I want to see this project succeed as much as the next guy, but when bug reports are sent to the devs and it appears they ignore them, it gets frustrating.
Yes , I know they are working hard, yes, I get it.
Maybe I put more emphasis on getting things right the first time, since that is what is expected of me every day where I work. If I just ignore a customer complaint or if some little bit of hardware doesn't work, someone could die.
