UPDATE August 12, 2012.
Thanks to FreakTab user Alunet for pointing out slower benchmarks on my 1.5 ROM. It turns out making the battery icon more aggressive takes away a lot of performance! Thus I have balanced it. The power off while charging menu fix is still in!
This new ROM is 1.5a
OK so how to update to 1.5a?
1) If you are NOT on 1.5, then just use the link below and download the full 1.5a ROM and flash it per my instructions in the README included with the ROM kit.
2) If you are already on ROM 1.5 then use this link and download the CWM patch. This is super simple and fast! No flash tools needed! I have included instructions in the patch zip file. PLEASE READ and follow them to patch 1.5 to 1.5a.
ROM -> Finless ROM V1.5 to 1.5a CWM patcher (1 meg)
Enjoy,
Bob
Everything below is still valid!

OK folks my 1.5 ROM is ready! I have tested the hell out of it so I am NOT going to call this a beta test this time!
It's a release but as always I expect possible changes later.
READ THE README.TXT FILE IN THE ROM KIT PLEASE!
This ROM has options to you so if you do not read the instructions, you may miss out!
Fixes added over stock ROM or my previous 1.4 ROM:
1) I fixed the Wifi DHCP timout some people are getting on slow hot spots.
2) I added support for connecting to ADHOC wifi hot spots.
3) I fixed the power button issue when charging.
Now when you hold the power button you get the shut down dialog properly instead of hard resetting!
However, if the charger is hooked up, on power off it will just boot back up. Thats OK
Now quickly hold the power button and power it off before it boots back up.
4) I think I fixed the battery update icon problem some people have. Not sure though.
I do not have this problem so I cant really tell. It seems bettery to me.
5) Update to the Market files! Now you get full market like google chrome ,etc!
6) I added support for Gameloft games. It seems to help some of them but not all.
7) Fixed my clockwork mod to fully support sd-ext partitioning and link2sd support.
8) App Injector bugs and reboot.apk have been updated to the latest versions.
9) Flash Player fix (use APP injector is flash is NOT pre-installed).
10) I fixed the flash tool so now you can flash parts of a ROM without errors!
This means you can flash different kernels for instance to try them without erasing user data!
Features in 1.5 ROM:
1) FULL init.d support! Now Scripts put in /etc/init.d will now run on boot.
This means you can now play with the V6 Super Charger stuff, etc
See here for more info:
Note: you do not need to use V6 init.rc integration! You cant anyway.
But it is not needed for V6 since full init.d works.
2) Of course full init.d means full BusyBox install with all needed SYMlinks!
3) This has my ClockWork recovery Mod installed. If you do not want to use it DONT.
On first boot just select reboot now and be done with it!
It will not get in your way again if you do not want it!
Included is Petrus reboot tool which allows you to reboot into recovery from the OS.
If you want to know more about that, read this post:
Other APPs like Titanium will also reboot into recovery so if you dont want the reboot APP, you can remove it.
4) I have adjusted the parameter file for more app space! You now have a choice! 2GB or 4GB.
Read instructions below for how to choose which in the flash tool you want.
By default I set up the tool for 2GB app space.
5) I have analyzed all the available ROMs and the 3 known kernels. You have a choice in this ROM kit.
Kernel 338 (known to unstick broken touch screens), 454, and 485.
By default the tool is setup to use kernel 485. Again see instructions below for choosing
6) Since /system is now RW, I have increased it's free space to allow rooted and system apps.
7) Installed the latest working SU and SuperUser.apk
8) Updated busybox to 1.19.x (1.20.x has bugs in my opinion) aqnd full busybox install with symlinks.
9) Debloated the ROM of the junk APPs. I also removed the Chinese and Japanese keyboards.
However in the ROM kit is APP Injector. Use that to put back what you want.
See instructions in the README!
OK enough of all that.... here is the download for my 1.5 ROM.
ROM -> Yuandao N101 - Finless ROM V1.5a CWM - init.d +Fixes (190 megs)
Enjoy,
Bob
