Great to know that there is work continuing on the Monster. As far as comparing Monster5.2 to Eternal Ecstasy I have to honestly say that I've had far fewer problems running Monster, its more secure and runs much smoother.
Of course thats just my opinion, what I've found with the roms and themes by aboatright3605 is they are works in progress, far less refined than Monster which is to be expected considering the amount of time and feedback devoted to improving the Monster.
Still I am atttracted to aboatright3605's flair for making some great visual roms and themes, if only they recieved the same amount of input and work overall as Monster, I guess what I'm saying is that his work is spread voer a larger base in a shorter period of time taking away from further development by othersc ideas. If aboatright is going to stick with Eternal Ecstasy and allow feedback to help guide him in refining it theres no doubt that both of these roms could be considered the high standard for lower powered devices like the Admire.
No matter what keep making changes to refine both of these roms and themes.
