The Officicial HoFo Community ROM

[Malazan]

I agree with you, something is iffy about the network on this ROM. Standard/other custom ROMS have way better network for some reason. And its noticeably better.


Also Hotweiss can I request User Dictionary for your ROM, so we can delete useless words we saved onto it

I personally will be selling my HTC Magic when/if new android device with slide out keyboard comes out with good design.
I hope to see something good like HTC Touch Pro2 or something.

I cna only say it for myself.

Why not try it for yourself and see? and give us your experience too.
Maybe it's just me, maybe it really works better ?

This is the I am using now...

The new Motorola CLIQ looks cool : Link and Rogers is supposed to offer it in 2010.

I've found the rom gets laggy after a few days; the notification bar takes a while to pull down, my power manager app takes 4, 5 seconds to load up.

Is the only fix to reboot in that case?

Version 2.0.5 (September 15th)

- updated MarketEnabler to version 3.0.2
- updated Loccy's Better Browser to version 1.4.2
- fixed issue with secured apps (thanks to cyanogen)

You don't have to wipe, all of your settings will remain after the update.

This is more of an Android/app issue. I have not touched the core of the ROM to ensure its' stability.

Hotweiss, any chance to give the high quality youtube update to the hofo Ion rom? We are desperately wanting an update for that rom. Please if you can indulge those users with an update, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

OK, I will make one this week.

PS-the current Ion does have HQ YouTube video over a 3G connection, just press menu, and then more...

BFS schedules how tasks are handled. Basically a single CPU handles multiple tasks by juggling them - pausing one and starting the other, etc... BFS optimizes the juggling for mobile devices. You should see a clear improvement when browsing.
