Thanks Santod. Yeah, I found that thread about the 2.5 cab and was already considering going that route. I've been hesitant because it seems like people are still experiancing minor bugs and the .cab route is much slower than having 2.5 cooked in the ROM. If I could find a simple stock VZW TP2 ROM with just 2.5 cooked in, I would jump all over it. Unfortunately for me, everyone wants to add their own customizations, include apps that they use, and remove stock apps that they don't use. I don't blame them...I would do the exact same thing if I was cooking ROMs. It's just that my tastes and wants don't seem to match that of the cooks'.

But, I think that when I get a few days off to play with it, I will try out the 2.5 .cab. If there are problems that I can't live with, a hard reset and reinstalling the customizations I have would only take an hour or so.

Thanks again to everyone here for your advice and help.
