3 the change in the drivers cause SOD (sleep of death) issues, this may be a result of using an unlocked radio with the newer drivers but nonetheless it does happen
4 the responsiveness of sense will be slowed down considerably when using older parts with the newer parts : there have been some changes in sense since the GSM rhodium sense 2.5 was released so using Maxmanila or cookie may cause problems also you will have to keep in mind that sense 2.5 is an OS overlay meaning that you will have to treat it like windows is the host OS and sense is the guest like running windows 98 inside of vista .... you can do it but that dont mean everything is gonna work 100%
5 overall the speed of the upgrade is slow, its not the version of the OS but the OEM tweaks that was applied to it
most of the chefs that are with SPCS want to use the SPCS upgrade as a base for projects and they may have taken time to fix each of these issues (I know it took me some time to match everything up right) but I would advise people to use a custom ROM and make complaints to Sprint about this upgrade .... IT WAS NOT GOOD.

1) the kernel and drivers are based closely on the USC, infact many of the drivers are the same, i have based my latest rom on this and so has mightymike. I have no issues with any apps i have installed. Neither have my testers.
I doubt that its the kernel and drivers causing this.
2) Again the drivers and kernel have nothing to do with this bug, Im on full Sprint drivers and xip/kernel and dont have this issue. its just bugs in the rom its self it was compiled poorly there are many bugs.
3) for the third time the drivers have nothing to do with this. I dont have this issue either, been running these drivers since the rom dropped in my rom. However i did get the sleep of death on the sprint rom when i flashed it. Its the radio by the way. The older VZW radio used to cause random sleep of death as well.
4) the sprint manila was compiled for them. it is junk, don't bother with it.
5) i can agree 100% Smart chefs will only take the kernel, drivers and a handful of packages. most of it is utter crap.
