Dopod 838 Pro Review
Hi Guys
I have been wanting to give you guys a lowdon of this ROM sometime ago but I was in PTA for the whole week. I am actrually waiting for my flight back to CT as I post this review.
Ok, I have been using this ROM for quite some time (2 - 3 weeks) I think.
1. Stability - Very stable, hardly no SR's!!!
2. Battery Usage - I am not really sure, but I doi get 2 days with minimal use
3. Call quality - I would say its great, I also use the 1.47 Radio. - No droped calls, etc
4. Java Manager:
- Using Opera Beta - This was the first JM that I found very stable using OMBeta! The Majik JM was offal

, I couldnt use it at all. But I also found that it keeps on crashing after 5/10min (Im not sure if this has to do with the iphone keypad I installed).
- Opera Mini/ Beta No. Of Characters - (due to lack of a better name) I am referring to the number of charecters that u may use while tyoing on Opera Mini/Beta. With Majik Rom and others, one was limited. But with this ROM, its not limited. So u can actually write a long post using Opera Mini/Beta!!!
- Using wap.defza.com/za - here I am referring to Voda/MTN sms's. For some wird reasons, u may login/enter a recepient #/ but the message box does not open

. So one cannot compose the text with this ROM as opposed to other ROMS
5. Today Adio Plugin - I have tried to install different versions of the HTC Audio Manager but they are all not working!!! Basically what happens is that, from Today Screen/ when u press the audio plugin it does not open! It gives u an error message!! But if u go via the actual program/programs, etc/ it does show up on the Today Screen BUT u cant choose/rewind/nor forward tracks!!! It keeps on playing the same track!
Now, the worse thing is that WMP also does not (for some wierd reasons) recognise my library!! So, its completely and utterly useless!!!
Not sure if this is comprehensive enough...
I think I will wait for Leaf to release their version OR get the EU version then just install all my cabs and stop this serial flashing!!!
