    anyone else waiting for V1.1 to try out darkedge?

    I REALLY want to try it now, but I feel like I should just wait until I flash a fresh version of BB (aka V1.1) soon so I can get a clean start on DE. Planning on going with the red theme, the background below, and as of now I'm undecided whether I want to keep home++ or move to prolauncher or helix2....hmmm. I'm kind of glad I'm waiting so I don't rush on a setup haha

    If you are on 1.0 try out the TeamChaos DE theme - no wipe. You can't kill your phone. I ran it all weekend and while it basically looks ok I went back to BB1.0 with smoked glass last night - for a while anyway. I didn't like the mish-mash of icons, some DE, some not. I really like the DE unlock and the "see-thru" contacts, etc. I might try the TC red rum with DE today and see how that looks.

    Honestly DE isnt all that great IMO. It looks good if you only use the apps it themed but once you get away from that and start using your everyday 3rd party apps you run into issues. I think it is too deeply themed. I would like to have DE as a theme like the smoked glass themes or the nextheme. That way it doesnt effect all the 3rd party apps like it does now.

    Sometimes a "smartphone" is only as smart as its user.

    Yeah I know what yall mean, it would be awesome if someone could easily make a bunch of themed 3rd party apps. I actually got a new background last night and am pretty happy with how my Droid looks for right now, so we'll see what happens...

    Well, tried to switch to TeamChaos/DE and proceeded to get my phone stuck on Google sign in and had to do a system restore luckily I still had JRummy's ROM still on my SD card.
    Note to self .... do NOT delete old ROM's from SD card.

    I didn't have the Market, however, looked nice, just not as fast as BBv.1. Didn't even go through the trouble of fixing it. Restored backup and waiting for BBV1.1.

    I tried applying the Team Chaos Dark Edge and it went on smooth. However, I am noticing that I am not receiving text messages, voicemails or missed call notifications until long after they were sent. Going back to Smoked Glass theme until Pete can put out Dark Edge with out the bugs.

    DE looks incredible in screenshots, but it's too... well.. dark when actually using it on my phone. The clean lines and fonts are slimmed down and honestly they put that slight extra strain on my eyes when using it.

    I think it's an awesome theme, and incredible work by the devs, but it ain't for me and my eyes - and I still have good eyesight.

    DE Red on Stock Rooted 2.1

    I have tried them all and to b honest. DE is the fastest on a stock rooted rom. I'm oc'd at 1.25 via P3 kernal LV with Helixlauncher2 as home. I love it. Some input blanks are hard to see what you type at times, but other than that it is purely beautiful. Never had any Rom/Theme combo that is faster than stock/de.
