If by set it up, you mean install a single CAB, then yes, you have to "set it up"

The newest War ROM isn't slow at all. If you think it is, you better just stick with 2.1, because War is faster than the Sprint ROM that just released, and there's no way the Verizon ROM is going to be any faster than Sprint's. It'll be exactly the same

Since 95% of the posters here have run custom ROMs since the day the unlocker came out, I think most of them could care less about either Sprint or Verizon's "new 6.5 ROMs"

What IS kind of funny is my boss who is on Sprint waited months for the "official Sprint 2.5 ROM" because he figured at that point they would have a correctly working HTC MMS messaging app.

Wrong, Sprint couldn't get it to work right either so they left it out (I laughed about that for 2 days, he was so pissed since I've had it working the whole time in my NRG setup)

oh you guys kill me . dont get your undies twisted. To be honest htc messaging does nothing for me. As well as honestly sprints rom is way more stable then half the cooked one. what im running now. been on enegry tried mighty tried vins. shit i even made my own. sprints is just stable.

**jmorton10** · #17 (**permalink**) 03-24-2010, 01:35 PM

The Sprint ROM is definitely stable (the VZ ROM is too for that matter), my boss is still running it. There are certainly a handful of totally stable custom ROMs available at this point also.

What I don't get is, without HTC messaging working the Sprint ROM does not give you one single solitary thing that wasn't available at least a month ago in a custom ROM so why did it take them so long to release it??

I used to be a big custom instead of stock guy, but all VZW's roms for the TP2 have been great so far. I have tried quite a few custom sense 2.5 roms and all have been buggy to some degree (random lockups and slowdowns), so I'm looking forward to seeing what the stock VZW with 2.5 is like. So far for me on the TP2 the stock roms have been far more stable. For me stability trumps eye-candy any day of the week.

I think it wasnt a top priority with them getting ready for the 4G, Nexus 1 & EVO release. And HTC MMS messaging just aint stable. Its works on a few cooked roms, but even on those, it can be slow, or prone to crashing. The HW just wont keep up with it. Sprint, VZ, T-mobile, or any other carriers OEM Rom are mainly about STABILITY. They gotta satisfy the power users and noobs. And testing takes a while. Even on the most stable cooked rom i ever used, they all had lil quirks that varys depending on the carrier.

And even though it took the longest, Sprints at least the only CDMA OEM rom running 2.5. So there still ahead of the game.

It works perfectly for me & I've been using it since the ROM I'm running (NRG DUSK) came out in mid December.

I've never had a single lockup or freeze that I didn't directly cause myself (of course it helps that I'm not one of those DBs that restores 4200 text messages after a ROM fash & then complains that texting is laggy).

After seeing how lame the Sprint 2.5 offering is (I've used it quite a bit in my bosses phone) I really could care less if Verizon ever releases a 2.5 ROM.
