LMAO! Ok.

Sure you had good signal with Sprint, because you were probably on a major highway or interstate, and near metropolitan areas. That's where Sprint covers. I live in a rural area, and the only coverage I have is Verizon, through the Alltel merger. Your coverage map comparison is way off.

Re: Fastest ROMs out there!

I cant complaint on Sprints signal. I had verizon and never dropped calls. Then switched to Sprint and exactly the same results. No signal loss and exact coverage but alot less expensive. And a plus on 4g signal.

Re: Fastest ROMs out there!

well i must say i have sprint also and in the rural area where i live the service is crap, i loose service all the time and and im on roaming more the 70 percent of the time... its a good thing that roaming is free.... im thinking about switching soon, the only reason i havent done it yet is because of the price difference.

You do realize that Sprint roams on Verizon right? I can tell you this, when we come to Panama City for vacation (I live in TN) I have great coverage on my Sprint phone (albeit roaming).
If you get a Sprint plan that has unlimited roaming, you will be in good shape. My SERO has unlimited roaming, and I never have signal problems when we are in Panama City or PCB.

Dont want to burst your bubble, but you can see the coverage maps yourself on www.verizonwireless.com and www.sprint.com
But, here I done the work for you and snipped the graphics:
If you look at the gray area for Sprint you will notice its almost exactly like Verizons coverage....hence the roaming










So really, Sprint customers that have roaming packages get Great Sprint speeds when on the home network, and also have the benefit of roaming on a fairly large voice/data network that Verizon has....all while avoiding the super sized rape-tool that verizon lays upon its customers.

I also use sprint service and agree with u that sprints roaming map is nearly identical to verizons coverage.

However, it has been said in other threads about people being booted from sprint for roaming too much, which apparently is written into the contract.

Back on topic, I use the the stock Sprint 6.1(build 21052) with touchflo 2.1. I use Goodthings2life tweaks cab and about a dozen or so Reg edits. My rom runs really smooth with great speed. I boot up at 38% ram usage. I use the device for days (use is moderate/heavy at times) without a soft reset and only ever see the ram go into the 60's.

Tweaked Stock rom is stable/fast/no hassle

Re: Fastest ROMs out there!

Thanks for the thoughts everyone. I decided to try the overclocking tip and it definitely seems to help. I am using the OC_Auto3.mscr script. Can anyone explain the three speed settings on the script?
Start_Speed = Clock speed during bootup???
Boost_Speed = Clock speed during normal use???
Safe_Speed = Clock speed during stand-by???

Is this right?
