My phone had been running really well on Bugless Beast .3--not perfect, but I had no major complaints. Then the update came out the other day, and, of course, I needed to screw with something that wasn't broken. I hadn't done step 2 of rooting yet, so I spent a couple of hours getting that all done right, and I flashed to DamageControl 3.2.2. It was nothing but issues for me there, and I was pissed that I hadn't just let things be. Some of the most basic things were buggy for me, I was getting FCs way too often, and I was running out of patience with trying to make it work.
Last night I wiped and flashed to Fresh 0.5.3. I'm not kidding about this: my phone has never operated this well. Literally, I cannot find any bugs or tweaks or issues. I even went through the posts here and did some tests. Everything seems to be perfect. I'm typing this on my laptop while wirelessly tethered and looking at my phone in the 270 rotation (what a great feature for us south paws). The thing is snappy as hell now, and even a lot of the features that I had never gotten working properly at any point before, such as FB sync, are working perfectly now.
It probably didn't need to be said, but I wanted to make sure anyone who wasn't sure about rooting and running a custom rom knew about one very greliable option. And I also wanted to express my appreciation to flipz. I'm once again so happy about this phone. Thanks, flipz.
note: this is not meant as a rip on DamageControl. I know the developer has put in a lot of work and made a rom that a lot of people really like and appreciate. For some reason, DC just wouldn't play nicely with my phone no matter what I did.
