First things first. Big thanks to MightyMike for the original
RUU_Rhodium_W_Sprint_WWE_1.09.651.0_6.5_Radio_1.40 WF_NV_MFG_SPCS_1.34_0407_PRL60652_Test.exe ROM here:

This ROM is interesting, as it is quite old (Built April 9th 2009), but it's just surfacing now. This is a very beta test build of a 6.5 ROM for Sprint. The SYS build is 21210, which is pre-RTM (RTM was supposedly 21234), and is pretty buggy.
Keep in mind that this ROM has not been dumped and rebuilt like your typical custom rom. The few changes from the ROM that Mighty posted have been made by directly editing the RUU_signed.nhb file, so don't blame me for the bugs -- and this rom is buggy. It's a fun ROM to play with, but buggy nonetheless.
"So, what's the point of this ROM, if Mighty has already posted it?" you might ask.. Well the reasons are twofold:
1. The Radio in the ROM that Mighty posted is apparently not signed, so you can only flash it if you are Security unlocked (as opposed to the standard hard SPL).
2. The ROM Mighty posted is timebombed, so even if you did flash it, you wouldn't even get to the today screen before seeing a "thank you for testing..beta expired.." screen.
Anyway, here's you can get the ROM -- plus more info and screen shots:

1. Removed Radio
2. Removed "Test Only" splash screens
3. Patched shell32.exe to remove timebomb
4. Custom ROM Upgrade Utility

Known Issues:
1. General buggyness likely due to early 6.5 SYS build. Freezing and stalling. Should hard reset and then soft reset after first boots.
2. ROM boots into Titanium by default, once Manila is enabled the Manila start menu is activated. The settings icon goes to the settings manila tab, but when you tap "all settings" it just goes to the connection settings. With no way to get into the general settings start menu. To disable Manila start menu, so you can get to the normal settings start menu, make the following reg edit (or use the attached reg cab here) and soft reset:
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu\Enable ManilaStartMenu =dword:00000000
