well, i didn't notice until just now, so i will take a look, again another weird issue, because I didn't make any framework code mods or anything, actually I dont think I really made any code mods that would impact anything like this...
Trying my darndest to rate and comment in rom manager but it just hangs on getting comments. Try most GB Roms and after a couple days they are pigs, even made my own. So back to froyo. With all of the recent performance tweeks like sd, minimal logging etc adding them to a froyo build is going to make an awesome and stable os for the droid og. Thanks for sticking with froyo.
I'm finding that the soft key backlights are turning off quickly, say 5 sec after touching one. Using in the dark, it quickly gets annoying. 
Also, the haptic feedback when calling and hanging up is new, right? I could maybe find that useful to avoid pocket dialing and to alert me to quit talking when ppl hang up on me, but otherwise it could go... unless there's a way to turn it on and off?

It would only take a few seconds, but another option is to backup before you flash others, and then if you ever need to go back you can do advanced restore and just restore the boot.img, because the kernel is contained within the boot.img, If you would like me to post one though I have no problem with that, just let me know, another option would be to reflash the ROM and Google Apps.
Yeah theres a few issues, and theres a lot more to be discovered still, so at this point I'm asking everyone to use Build 03, or ignore the errors in Builds 04 and 05, I found the mistake I have been making, and let me tell you it's always a stupid mistake.. lol, I still can't believe I did it, but all these issues you have been experiencing in builds 04 and 05 will be solved and back to normal in build 06..
-------------------------------------------
Further explanation if you care to read
-------------------------------------------
To build any ROM from scratch you need proprietary vendor files which I'm sure most of you know somewhat about. Well I used the set-up provided by Koush, and I made slight mods for Droid Concepts, and when I created the Droid Concepts Unique Vendor Setup I named my overlay folder as 'super-impose' well I'm kind of paranoid about things, and I like things done right, and to me I didn't want it to be called 'overlay' in the device/motorola/sholes folder, and to be called 'super-impose' in the vendor/DroidConcepts folder, so I renamed 'overlay' in the device/motorola/sholes folder to 'super-impose' This part is all fine and dandy, well in the build file that tells it where to pull the overlay files from it was trying to pull from the 'overlay' folder which was renamed, but it doesn't know that, so because there was no folder, nothing got overlayed. So it was my mistake of not fixing the name of the pull folder in the build file. So now I have fixed the file to pull from 'super-impose' so now everything is back to normal again.

Yeah It seems kinda hard to use, or Im not doing something right, I tried to rate/comment on Build 03 to see how it worked, and I can't get it to work, wont even show that I downloaded it in the counter. It may be something I need to do with the manifest file, So I will speak to some people tomorrow and see if I need to update or change anything, and how to use it, so I can help anyone that needs it.
And yes, as I progress and get my Froyo ROM to where I like it, it will have plently of enhancements from GB and maybe honeycomb, that will make Froyo run incredible.
I have never tried this, and I'm not at all familiar with 'APN Manager' I would suggest to ask the rescue squad, they have a lot of great people who are more than willing to help you with problems, they may know more about this, I wish I could help make your Froyo experience better, but at this time the best I can do is say to seek help from the rescue squad or other section of Droid Forums, I'm sorry.
Well no harm done. Any ETA on build 6? I saw a couple of changes set in the changelog already. Def no rush, I'll install build 3 tomorrow.
Thanks for the advanced restore tip, I'm capable though definitely not an expert on this stuff. I'm trying to avoid reflashing the rom or preinstall backups as both take relatively a lot of time (even o/c recovery.)

I would say sometime next week, I start finals on weds so after tomorrow no android work for me until Friday night, so nothing will be put out until Saturday night ish at the earliest. Just depends on what I get done tomorrow and how I feel Friday after finals..
and yep anytime with the tip, one more thing, if you go into the settings in RomMananger, there's an option for quick restore/backup, that takes a good 15 minutes of the amount of time it takes to backup and restore. just in case you didn't already know..

Change in plans, I got more than I thought done this morning and last night, and I got build 06 done and all the issues are worked out. I will update the thread now, but will not get build 06 uploaded until later, so i will let you all know when it is posted..
I will update the thread now, but will not get build 06 uploaded until later, so i will let you all know when it is posted.. With this new build also comes some supported kernels!
I have personally tested the Standard Voltage 900 MHz P3 Droid kernel, and WiFi and tether is working without any problems. I have not confirmed all the kernels as working, but my guess is they should all work fine, so I have provided a link to his site, with his kernels, remember to download a Froyo kernel not Eclair.
Links are in OP

Also as a reminder, you should install in this order:
> ROM
> Google Apps
> Optional Apps/Kernel
Explanation if you care to read:
When you install the ROM it will wipe your /system and kernel from the phone so if you install Google Apps or the kernel first you will lose it when you install the ROM. So because of this the ROM must be first. Google Apps is listed as second because you need them if you regular release type of android build, without them you will not have the market to download and install apps, so because it is a 'must' it is listed as second. The kernel/Optional Apps is an addition, and therefore is listed last, so please follow this order when installing any Droid Concepts ROM.
Thank You..
