Maury, I used the older Manila lite ROM you posted on xda (linked above), and yours is the fastest and most stable out of the 5-6 I've tried.
However, I couldn't get ##MSL# to save properly (I needed to use the phone with another number). I installed Sprint carrier cab and, although ##778# ##3282# worked great, and I could get into ##MSL#, it wouldn't take the new settings and it would just revert back to the old MDN and MSID after the reset. I had to flash back to Sprint.
I see that you are using Sprint too -- it would be awesome if you could cook a Sprint edition of your ROM
