I can tell you that iOS updates is not "real" updates.All they do is keep fighting with Cydia lol.The value of iPhone higher if it wasnt updated to 4.2 or 4.3.I have iphonish friends here and in russia....
I used to be a WM follower,but not anymore lol

Hi vin:
Yes, the iphone jailbreaking can be difficult depending on the update version, so I am more inclined on going with Android phones. In any case, of all the custom ROMs that I loaded on my Sprint TP2, I found yours to be the most elegantly designed one. Everything was well organized and the icons looked elegant. You have good taste. I wish Microsoft and HTC had hired your services when when wm6 had a chance to succeed in the face of the iphone revolution. It is their loss, not yours. But I know you helped the community a lot with your hard work.

As for the disappearing or freezing dialer issue on your TP2 ROM for Sprint, I can tell you that every custom ROM that I installed before trying out your ROM had similar problem as I noted in my last post. Yes, I did a task29 before loading the custom ROMs, and I loaded your ROM more than once and did re-installation of stock ROM first and then a task29 before each installation of your ROM. I think the trouble may be a memory stability issue with wm6.5.x. I also noticed that in all custom ROMs including yours, ResProxy and SQM upload (Software Quality Management upload) has been disabled from the registry keys. Although removing them does free up 10-15% RAM on TP2, it may also contribute to some of the disappearing or freezing of the phone when a phone call comes through as I described in my original post.

I recommend removing Sip changer, nueBattery and Tarkim's Keyboard Controller from your ROM because the resources that they take up may cause instability issues when someone is in a fringe area that requires the phones radio to switch back and forth between Roaming and Home signals. This problem happened to me repeatedly when I installed the latter two programs on stock ROMs of TP and TP2. The devices then slow and no soft reset will solve the problem.

Anyway, maybe I will just buy an EVO like you did when the prices go down on it in Ebay, and I will tryout your ROMs for that device. It has better hardware and better RAM management that Widows CE based wm6 phones. I will follow your thread for EVO rom.

Oh, and despite the unfair criticism of my last post by some other people in this thread, please don't in any way think that I am complaining about your TP2 ROMs. I was only reporting what I experienced and why I decided to go back to the stock ROM and ultimately why I want to divorce myself from Microsoft phones. The problem is not your ROMs. The problem is Microsoft's incompetence, which guys like you try to fix. Thanks for all your hard work. And thanks for sharing your custom EVO ROMs with the community. Good luck to you.
