OK boys and girls, Macnut R10 is here. Let me be the first to tell you it is everything we (or at least I) have been waiting for. Back on November 2nd I brought you guys a quick look at Macnut R2. So in just five short days Eugene_373 and his band of merry men have moved up 8 builds. That’s no easy feat. They came out almost too fast for me to even get signed back in to my Gmail. Let’s take a look at this ROM in detail.

As you can see there is nothing too spectacular in these screen shots, but it gives you a look at just what you are getting into. These next few screenshots, though, are going to really excite you at least I hope so. I know they excited me.

I can confirm that GPS now finally fully functions and locks on amazingly fast. I turned on the Sensor Enhance because I am indoors and it took no more then 5 seconds to pull me up, which is faster then any other ROM or GPS fix that I have ever used on my device. One less thing to worry about. BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE! Not only is the GPS issue resolved but a few very nice services were integrated into this build.

As you can see, WiFi calling was integrated into this build, and it works pretty well. I was able to easily sign in to my WiFi network and make and receive calls and text messages. No issues with it all- I’m very pleased with added feature. Small note to mention, unlike previous WiFi calling or UMA that was available with T-Mobile, if you move away from the WiFi connection you lose the call. Currently there is no hand off. That is my understanding from all research as well as personal experience with this feature.

Now to move on to performance. Very fast, very snappy, very clean. Take a look at the linpack and quadrant I ran about 4 hours after install and app restore.

Not bad, not bad at all. I have yet to see any issues with this ROM on my phone.

As always we like to let you know about anything that may not be working. One major conflict that is missed often, if you are on a 2.1 ROM and flash to this 2.2 ROM there is a high chance your internal memory will be wiped. Solution: plug your phone up to your PC and copy your entire internal memory to a folder on your desk top. I have yet to encounter anything being erased on the SD card but it might not be a bad idea to back it up as well just to be safe. Second potential issue: when coming from a 2.1 ROM to these, I have run into conflict using Titanium back up to restore my applications. This may be an isolated issue but I have read that others have been having similar conflicts, primarily coming from a 2.1 ROM. I would recommend potentially backing up with App Monster or App Manager and saving that folder to your desktop as well. It never hurts to be cautious.

Now, anyone that has been around the block with their Vibrant (or any other device for that matter) knows that the same doesn’t always ring true for each phone. Don’t take this as 100% truth. In the past some fixes worked great for some but not others. You may or may not gain the same results as I did or as Eugene_373 achieved.

If you have questions on this ROM check out the developers forums here at xda-developers. Do all your research before you jump into something you may not understand. As always we take no responsibility for YOUR actions. Proceed at your own risk.

Take care everyone, happy flashing.
