i like the Your status lines best with the wonder wheels and mui layouts you've done. The only thing that i've ever wished changed on your roms was better data thru-put, but this is probley my metro in philly. All your stuff needs is more exposure.
Your early stuff is out there to SHOW your style. Now would be the time for your inovation to shine. It could help keep admire around longer if people keep buying it and metro and other carriers keep using it as the budget android the market wants .
Don't follow the new " be like " trend in the admire forum. Since you've Got the eye,
Do KILLCMD's admire your way and take your time to pick the rom, apps, wigets, theam, and options YOU like. Beats was yours here i like it and still use it on all my chops first.

No Matter, I know you will do it well. and excuse the BLACK LABLE SOCIETY rant.

It would be nice to see a good file explorer and Titanium back up as well.

Me personally I'm not a big fan of the "M-bravo" on the bottom of the pulldown notification bar, but that's just my 2 cents I like it clean looking

Philly speeds are terrible. In NE I was almost dead in water. Downtown was pretty good and West Philly had alright speed. North is bad too.

Have you ever seen 3g
i've forced 3g on debug menu an watched all data drop except the phone service;
tried toggles , hidden menues; build props, super chargers and all, metro has it throttled.
with the aws at the towers. their 4g can't be any better, i'd love to get a nexes 4g and qpst it to see the setups.
 
Unfortunately for me and many others is that we don't get very good speed results (3G) from where we live. Of course this isn't a problem with the rom but Metro's towers. Its really a shame that living so close to the heart of Silicon valley and getting horrible results in Moutain View and Palo Alto doesn't bode well for continued use of Metro unless something happens to upgrade service before they start seeing customers seeking other carriers.

Oh thats right this is about M-Bravo V6, sorry. I love this rom, just like any of the others that deliver it becomes a matter of comfort and reliability, part of the problem is that every rom that gets the 900 boost there are fc's and freezes that happen. Its the price of playing with altered roms I guess. I switch back and forth between yours and Monster 5 about once a week just to keep things fresh.

What all of us are waiting on is the "perfect) rom, fast, reliable, and visually stunning without compromising security and power.

My greatest wish is for one of you devs to find the way to force the phone to keep the link to the 3g towers wide open throughout the entire length of the link up. What I mean is that when first making the connection on SpeedTest.com most of the time the device jumps out to great speed, but then within seconds drops way back down to under 200kbs. Why can't the link be forced to stay wide open throughout the entire download? If we can reach speeds over 1mbs then that window should be able to be forced to continue to allow initial speeds all the way through.

Any ideas on a fix for this?
 
No clue how to force 3g to stay, I haven't been able to get it once. I did add 3g optimization and it does REALLY help speed.
 
Killer,
you did it. i loaded this rom (lazy) on stock kernel not o/c 'd. i got the best ping d/l-u/l on any rom so far. the camera worked perfect auto focus / and camcorder was real smoothed.
i had no market errors and goggle hooked up with the first sync. Gps hooked in fast.

the combinations of apps are great for everyone novice or dev. the launcher is smooth as can be. i haven't changed it with my b/u aps or any thing but installed speedtest to check
it out and haven't needed any thing else yet. I know you hooked up us blind ass old people too. i do and don't want to do the fast one but the lazy one is so slick i don't think it will do as well as i got. I got two fast phones they will both take the o/c ing no problems but one is stock and the other has the o/c 'd ones on them and my chops on it. I'm gonna use this one for a while. I like this cause its so smooth. I did d/l ultralite browser so you can use your favorite one.

GOOD JOB YOUNG MAN! YOU GUYs GOTTA GIVE IT A TRY....


Viperdink out and impressed!!

I already began cooking it up and am running it on my phone. Just wanna know what you guys wanna see on it!

This has been the most exciting trial and error process I've had yet. I've been going back and figuring out what was good with the previous ROMs and pretty much amped it the hell up. It runs great for me and probably excellent for light users.

Lazy M6 Beta (ODIN)

Super M6 Beta (CWM/OC)

CWM 5.0.2.8

The Upcoming beta release will include:

Note: The Ram claims a total of 66MB used whilst still fresh. (With that hog Active Launcher.) Before it was around 100MB

Update: With all of my Social Media Apps and other luxuries at boot it gobbles up 91MB and 118MB when the apps are used constantly. I've yet to experience lag in the interface.

sa do you get 3g the 1x was smokin pinged under 700 lowest yet.

dink out.

It just optimizes the data connection. 1x is primitive 3g, I wonder when they're gonna update the antennas around here.

I use almost everything over data with great improvement.
 
Awesome ROM
I switched from Monster 5 to this and it feels nice.

For the final version though do you believe you can include the Flash player built in?
Just less stuff needed to be flashed one after another

first they said may Now its the begining of the year. we'll see.
Sneek it on pops yet? what'd he say? i like it and i think alot of the other guys
will too. the theme is quite nice and the colors are just the right shade like sa says
lime not green . GOOD Luck with it dude. You Did Do You, at least thats what i think!

I wish someone with a faster data thu-put chimes in and you'll see if its faster,it
really pumped the metro ghetto network here.

good luck again dude, nice rom.

viperdink gone!
 
Been running Monster 4 for a while now, waiting for something like this to try, while I wait for some more bugs to be worked out in cm7. Thanks for this.

This is probably the smoothest / fastest my Admire has ever run. Very nice work.

Edit: does volume+ really work with the admire? been looking for a louder volume thing for my phone
