I created a Sense 2.5 ROM after fixing all the things Sprint had borked in their release. It's fast and stable from what my tests show. I thought I'd share
Some of the features:
-HTC original look and feel
-"Fixed" Tethering (Stealth.)
-Faster Manila (CFC Compressed - Thanks to Chainfire, customized by me.)
-Carrier junk taken out
-Fixed FB album
-Wi-fi Router
-Many additional things you'd have to check out yourself
