But for some reason my laptop has an easier time connecting to wireless tether than to barnacle. I'm sure this is a failing of my laptop's wireless and not barnacle, but I have to stick with what works better for my current situation.

so enjoy running your only “real mod” available with its substantial changes to the source code (settings.apk & framework.apk) and having your phone idle at >90f and ill enjoy my sapphire that loads faster, runs smoother, all while not idling more than 75f.

mind you i am tired of people pushing half ass themes left and right ripping one anothers work. however i see a few actual developers out there. pete, cm, cvpcs (sapphire), jrummy (lithium mod), and insane. all of them work well, i am a bit biased to the sapphire and lithium series, mainly because i havent had any issue! both run fast (sapphire is faster imo) and both are very stable and free of bugs (lithium takes the cake here)

every revision of cm i have tried something doesnt work, or doesnt work well, and my phone was always about to catch fire. bugless beast constantly gives me force closes, which is a shame because i used to LOVE his work (before all the source built trend hit, when he was just slapping a silly theme on stock roms)

why not post something that is constructive to the community rather than flaming others. and please back up what you post with something! be it opinion or experiance, state it!

also… before you flame someone again, sit down, and code something better yourself, publish it, and when your version is more widely accepted, THEN you can open your mouth and talk trash on others

Same with kernels. I’ve built both from source.

The only ROM with any meaningful differences from stock is CyanogenMod.

Sapphire is no different than stock where it counts – it just has some added bells and whistles and a cute little theme.

For the record I run Cyanogen Mod. It’s the only REAL mod there is – meaning substantial changes to the source code.
