Well lbrick, I flashed the new version of Thundershed. It still doesn't impress me as much as Shift ic3. I see absolutely no difference in performance as far as speed and smoothness, but overall it just doesn't seem as polished. For instance, I like to turn off the lockscreen and use widgetlocker exclusively. Well, when I do that everytime I reboot the status bar foreclosed. No big deal, just hit forceclose and it reloads(EDIT: Except for the time that it didn't reload after I wrote this and I had to reboot). Then I pulled down the notification bar once and there was a notification there. Except there was no notification in the status bar nor had anything happened to generate a notification. It promptly disappeared without me touching it. I ran quadrant just for comparison purposes. Same scores, but sometimes the test wouldn't run right on Thundershed. The graphics would clip sometimes, and parts of the test were shortened or lengthened sometimes. It skipped one of the test screens one time. It's little things like this that make me lose confidence in Shed. Just doesn't seem finished like the older Shift.
I'd love to hear your take on Shift sometime, though.
