Just to let you know Ron manager has version 5.0.5. I'm assuming that's the new one with apps2sd is on.

apps2sd is there, but you need to partition the sd card yourself which I'm not sure how but Koush will be updating rom manager later to do this.

Seems faster to me.
My battery was low, so my profiles kicked in, was running at 550MHz and the rom was still smooth.
You can change the track while in standby mode by pressing and holding down the volume up/down button.
The launcher is smoother and has the fling velocity added.
Ummm in general, it is a lot quicker! (I have live wallpapers off atm)
So there are some improvements. I suggest everyone update to it!

As for temperatures, they pretty much been the same. Haven't seen any real changes. I run anywhere between 600MHz to 800MHz (depending what I'm gonna do and if I need to save battery).

The improvements I've seen and like are the ability on the lock screen to swipe left and have the phone go to vibrate mode and not silent and hiding the zoom controls in the browser is nice too. I haven't seen any changes in speed not did I have any problems with the last stable version. I notice it freezes a lot less when I exit the browser which happened to much in the last stable version.
IMHO this is the best rom out for the Droid.

I really like this ROM. Keeping it for good, Well till 5.0.6.
All the other copy and paste roms, well they are just weak (IMHO).
There are many cahnges tha might not be caught at first but they are there:
-Browser User agent (iPhone, IE, Desktop, Android)
-Vibrate or Silent on the locks screen pull tab (Depends on your Prefference Settings)
-New Orientation Menu (Off, Normal, 270 Degrees and 360 Degrees)
-Apps2SD (You need to partition your SD
-MMS Spoofing (Nokia N95, iPhone, Blackberry 8800, Sony EricssonW800i, SoftBank X01T, Custom)
-Music Widget cover art and back button
-You can remove the percentages from the battery icon (via Spare Parts)
-Fixed MMS issues
-Fixed Opening the link on certain emails
Many other fixes in framework.
Really great work (Koush, ChrisSoyars and Cyanogen)

I don't see there is any fix to the radio, is that right?
