Another ROM Update

After flashing Darky's ROM v9.4 yesterday, I took it for a test run - made some calls, watched the signal strength for a bit, gave the wifi a workout, checked the operational integrity of many of the aps, and some other things - and everything was working perfectly. I guess everything went fine.

Today I discovered that a v9.5 has already been released. And so I have just finished flashing this new version of Darky's ROM and am currently checking out what's new. I'm happy to see a brand new Kernel named "Dark Core 1.0" with supercurio's work built in. The JVE modem, changed from the JQ1, is supposed to be better, so we'll see whether or not that's true. From the looks of it (and the votes/comments) it seems like a pretty stable build. Only time will tell though. If you haven't had a problem with v9.4 I see no reason not to give v9.5 a shot.

Darky's ROM Update

I'm about to do something potentially disastrous, but first a short story full of juicy details (tl;dr: skip first paragraph):

My current phone, which is only a few months old, is my first foray into the world of smartphones. It's a Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant I9000m with Bell Canada, and so far I'm very impressed with the phone's hardware, Bell's mobile plans and features, and the Android platform. I've also fallen into a disturbing obsession with custom ROMs and root apps. I can't stop reading about the latest releases on the scene and trying to figure out what I want to flash next. I'm sure my sharp curiosity will get me into trouble eventually, but so far it's quite fun toying with the software, customizing it to my likings. The speed and functionality of the custom ROMs and other hacked/custom software is amazing compared to the stock equivalents.

So that's the back-story, now for the news. I'm currently running Darky's ROM v8.0 Gingerbread Edition [Link]. It's had a few hiccups with things such as call quality (baseband version problem maybe?) and wifi enabling/disabling. But other than that, it has been very stable. And for this reason, I'm about to upgrade to Darky's ROM v9.4 [Link] and see what it's like. I definitely like the look of the changelist. Actually, I've only made it half way through the details and I'm liking the look of it. Whether or not it's stable to any degree is still to be seen. Then again, I think that's part of what makes flashing custom ROMs so fun. Cross your fingers, let's see if I can not brick my new super-phone...

Update:

Everything installed fine and I'm up and running, no instabilities so far. It seems a little more responsive, I like it. Hopefully it will stay like this. I'm glad I trudged past all the instability reports and just went for it.
