Smile About FW R541_G_11.53.04R

This is a branded FW from TIM
It's a stable and fast FW with really good looking icons, has a nice startup and shutdown gif, Quadband,, Edge is enabled, Smart Asst. isn't a valid app. and Realone doesn't have an EQ. The volume is good, has two browsers for some reason. Camera has 2MP resolution selection and doesn't have the silent option. Standard video features. The backlight is really bright when cranked up to 100%. Almost double that of the C2 FW's. Has the standard skins with a few extra Moto standard wallpapers and the ringtones are different.
This a good FW so far, gonna take it out for a test drive tonight to see how long the battery life is.
I did notice that when flashing with RSD Lite that when the CG's were being flashed something was different than the previous FW from the H2 and C2 tracks. Maybe that is why Smart Asst. will not work. Time for some techies to dig into the E track to find what is different.

Doh! Forgot to include this FW only has 3 USB modes (modem, mass storage, sync). Only three of the four shortcuts changeable. Talking phone enabled. Haven't tried voice commands (I never use them anyways).
No Screen 3. Headphone require for FM Radio. Email is Alice (at least that is what the icon says).

Ok, to finish up. I just got done with a roadtest of this FW. It has a bug (or maybe it's an actual function of the FW) whenever you boot the phone and then leave the flip open the phone will power down after about 5 minutes. At first I thought huh my phone just went into hibernate mode, but it powered down completely. So I tried it again just to make sure, and after 5 minutes with the flip open it powered down again. If you close the flip after boot it will stay on. This FW seems to have a weak RF setup. The phone seemed to be warmer than usual even when the flip was closed and no apps running. The battery life is dismal, only managed to get 5.5 hours before needing recharge. Too bad, this is a nice looking FW but has alot of weaknesses.

It worked.
Its a moded flash.Is just adding the capability to accept smartass, linloader and mpkg.Is not affecting the language.
Anyone who has this FW can try it.
Thank you
