Sprint WM 6.5 VS. SPB mobile shell

Any thoughts on using the new 6.5 ROM versus using SPB 3.5.3. I am currently using the SPB on the original 6.1 ROM w/ a couple minor bugs.

I use SPB Mobile shell on 6.5 all of the time. I actually love it and it works with the 6.5 dialer better.

Thanks, so you like the SPB shell better than the new Sense UI 2.5, and are you able to change the SPB theme?

new 2.5 sense is memory hog, uses 20-30mb more than mobile shell.

I went back to 6.1 after coming out of the 6.5 upgrade with 13mb free. I wonder....

What did you use to backup everything, and did it work well?

I just flashed to the new stock rom for 6.5, what does it take to switch to spb with 6.5? TLAs bother me sometimes, what exactly is SPB?

20.00, but there is a 15day free trial. very worth the money. uses less memory than sense and is more functional and customizable.

MS works great with 6.5 and probably why im not having issues like some here. That non-sense is a bloated resource hog in my book.

SPB is a mobile shell instead of HTC's Touch-flo 3D/ Sense 2.5
