Hi there guys. I can't really be bothered to check all the pages of the previous thread and this as my connection is being a bit of an arse.

Does anyone know how much the price for an original case is? As well as the keyboard and the installation cost for said items.

My set is the unfortunate silver keyboard...and really can't be bothered to send it for warranty. Someone in the forum is selling a compatible case, and I'll probably go for it (provided it's still in stock once I've got the cash).

Any inputs here?

ps: Need to flash my rom. Messed up my TF3D cab, and would rather something faster. Any recommendations? The firestorm seems interesting

... :swt:

Anyone? Seems like this forum isn't as friendly as it used to be back in my 903 days. Sigh.

If that's the case, you would probably have to enable the internet sharing on your pc first

So you're saying that you used the computer's internet connection right? Not too sure if it applies, but the last time I tried to use a device to connect to the internet via my pc, I had to enable the internet sharing bit.

Have done a google?

Ah...thanks for the tip. I don't really trust ebay Malaysia, so will probably check elsewhere first. Will google ericserve and see what's there? Thanks for the tip!

Are you on XP or Vista? If it's XP you'll need to dl something. Someone mentioned it here. Is it not possible to unblock your Kaspersky thing? Have you tried connecting your phone to another computer to see if it can connect?

Oooh. Did not know that! But er...will it affect your card in anyway?

I've been asking around (was kindly asked to check ebay international) for the casing as well. There's a member who quoted me about RM500 for an original casing. I don't think it includes the keyboard though. It's quite cost prohibitive to get an original casing here. I was thinking of getting a compatible casing from ebay uk.

Anyone has any other idea? There's a member selling an "ap housing" as well. Says it's class A blah blah blah. It's still about RM 140 though. A more reasonable price than RM500. I could possibly source it for cheaper than that though. Just not too sure about the quality.

Any thoughts?

I find S2P too iffy to navigate. It tries too much to follow an iPod setup...but failing miserably. To me at least.

Question with regards to custom ROM:

Between Energy,Touch X and Touch IT, which would you guys say is the best? In terms of

- Overall Performance
- Portrait/landscape support
- Ram usage
- Battery consumption
- Finger-friendliness

Based on what I've read, Touch X seems to be the most stable...or so I was lead to believe. Energy seems more vibrant, full of life though. Not too sure if it supports landscape. Seems as though it does? I'd go through this thread but there's too many keyword combination to think of, so I figured I'd just ask for it

I'm installing Touch IT as I'm typing this...Hope all goes well. A bit of a virgin when it comes to flashing a custom ROM

Hey, no one here uses Rota's ROM eh?

I think it's brilliant! The one coming out tomorrow looks VERY promising

Buggy? Well initially, yeah. Just do a few hard resets and soft resets and it's good to go

I dunno. I personally like his ROMs better than Itje's. It seems faster to me...and it just feels better overall. Ram usage doesn't suddenly spike up after prolonged usage either...Unlike with the latest TouchIT ROM.


Driver Package 3...Will do a search on XDA and see what I come up with? Sounds interesting though!

Er...Could it be this thread?

Erm...Somehow after doing one hard reset and a few soft resets seems to make it a bit more stable. It could be a placebo effect, but heck, it seems to be working for me!

With regards to the driver, (it's amazing how ppl don't even bother to search eh? ) did you follow the instructions in the thread (disable tf3d etc etc) or did you just run the cab?

Hey, in case you've not read rota's thread yet, I think the file he uploaded was corrupted...so might wanna wait for him to re-upload before flashing?

Yes when you get back here, it'll be hell. Data charges here are a bloody rip-off!

Edit: I might have been to quick to judge. Some flashed and it was alright. Lesson learnt: Will do it myself first the next time

Cool. Good to know that it has no adverse effect Will try it later with my new ROM

Well mine was. Bloody corrupted if I may add. All's well now though. Flashed, went through a hell lot of trouble (mutliple errors even after hard/soft reset). Followed someone's suggestion there, and now it's all good!

It definitely is fast. Beats the Touch IT ROM imho although ymmv. Personally, me likey

oh xcen, if playlist support and hardware control even after the screen is off, try s2p. I'm fairly sure it supports playlists (although I could be severely confused with another player I had installed sometime ago). Give it a try and see if you like it

On a side note, I noticed that the bluetooth remote doesn't jive with the TF3D's built in player. Ah well. Does Nitrogen support it?

Hurm...I used S2P and it worked okay with my BT headset. It's not too important...more of an annoyance really

Ah, I guess Rota didn't make his UC compatible? I'm not too bothered by that...yet. How good is Agent's ROM btw? Fast? Stable? What makes it stand out?

Hm...Seems like a similar problem to me. It's too much hassle really to do it if you don't really like how it runs. I like mainly because it's fast. It's not bug-free I think. There are still some quirks that I could live with.

I need a ROM that's fast...otherwise I get impatient and feel like flashing it again

Just a point to add - yes flashing to custom ROM voids the warranty...but you can always flash it back to the official ROM

Hm...Fast, stable good battery life. Do you make lots of phone calls a day? Or text on top of your heavy data usage?

Which version of Valkyrie do you have btw? Might flash to that if Rota's one still gives me hell. I like it because it's fast. Really fast. Ram usage is pretty darn high though and battery seems to be going really fast as well. Sigh.

No worries It's not that important the bluetooth issue. As long as I can make phone calls while I'm at the wheel is good enough. It's just that my radio is busted so sometimes I rely on my headset to listen to music so I don't fall asleep

It was mentioned somewhere in Agent's thread of a workaround with regards to the location. Ianm, you have to delete some file in the registry. That ought to do it

How good is Agent's ROM eh? Is it fast enough? Can the keyboard keep up with fast tapping speed? The battery life would be a big plus Only downside to me is the lack of "shortcut" space in the home page. Ah well.

Would rather not go through another hasle of backup+flash+restore

Oh? Did not know that. Will look into it. Thanks for the info

Hmm...I use about 10 or so but that's including shortcuts to frequently called numbers. Don't like the thought of having to go to my contacts tab to pick a number to call (so I'm a lazy arse )

Might consider flashing to Agent's Valkyrie FS 4.3.75 Leo then since the kb is fast. That's of my main concern as of now considering how my keyboard is...going crazy. Need a new case but don't have the resources of time nor money to source for one just yet.

...but I digress. When I do flash to Agent's ROM, I'll be sure to update on the speed difference.

Here I go again, flashing (no, not in that way ).

Hi there With regards to the Valkyrie ROM (FS I'm assuming?), why do you say it's the best ever yeah? Fast? How fast is it when you're scrolling from tab to tab?

I just installed the latest VFS from Agent (the one Kenlui recommended) and the first impression is...well it isn't as fast as Rota's ROM. True his ROM tends to be problematic at first (and later on if you install too many things that conflicts and uninstall them), but it's fast!

I especially like not having to wait for the tabs to load (except for the home screen - probably due to the weather thingy). Pressing the Start menu will 90% of the time bring out the menu in almost a fraction of a second (unlike the other ROMS I've tried).

Main gripe would be the inability of the messaging tab to link to the stock windows app. You know, the HTC client is realllllly slow (dl the cab to disable using it for sending) to the point it being almost unusable. Even with the fix, tapping on a text in the messaging tab would still bring up the HTC Messaging Client. Me no likey

Will update later to see if it can actually beat the speed of Rota's ROM

Edit: Hmmm...It seems that after a hard reset, the performance sort of improved? Or is it just a Placebo effect? Lol. Currently restoring my contacts and stuff...Will see how well it performs once I've got it back to the same level as I did Rota's ROM

The one that you're using now I don't remember how well his old ROM performed anymore.

Agent's latest FS is absolutely brilliant! After a hard reset, it becomes quite fast. Installing the driverpack3 seems to help as well. I've finally installed most of the things I had when using Rota's, and although I haven't actually benchmarked the performance, it seems that Rota's and Agent's ROM are almost equally fast. Rota's might be slightly faster, but I think for now I'll go with Agent's.

Hey, Energy's already released a 23081 build if you're interested? I must thank you for suggesting the FS. Made my life so much easier now

Eh? No no, it's a Leo to Leo comparison lah.

Agent's Rom just crashed on me for some strange reason Couldn't launch anything, and couldn't turn off my phone! Had to take out my battery

Hey, sorry about the misinformation I must've had it confused with something else I was using. Too long ago can't remember it anymore


I'm quite content with Agent's Rom for now...just a few gripes:

-The keyboard can't really keep up with my texting if I go on "Hyper" mode to send a text/email.
-Random crashes (A few times already...not related to any new installation)
-Right softkey reverts to "home" after a soft reset

But I like his interface and all the things he's skinned. His start menu is much more organised and his icons are nicer than Rota's

Especially love his lock screen where the slider is at the bottom as well - makes much more sense than having the slider at the top.

I need someone's input who has tried either all three (Rota, Agent, NRG) or just between Agent and NRG. Basically, I wanna know how the latest EnergyLeo runs. Fast? Stable? etc etc.

Oh, another thing, does (latest) Energy Leo have the windows key at the bottom? The M2.5 one. Hoping it does (incase it's faster than Agent's ROM )
