Just yesterday I started trying custom ROM's for my XV6900. Of course I had to have GPS, so I went whole hog ... new radio and everything. There were a couple of scary moments, but I managed to perservere though it all.

I have noticed a few issues ...

The "default" MMS server is not accepting my messages, and I am not able to add info pertaining to the Verizon server - the "Add" button is "grayed" out.

Power useage seems way over what the Verizon Stock ROM. I can go from full charge to less than 90% in just a half hour of pecking around the unit - no calls and idle data connection.

I cooked the Flash Video bundle to the ROM, but You Tube is saying I need a newer version of Flash.

I've haven't looked at the GPS yet, so those comments can wait till later.

It is great to see smooth playback of large video files in Windows Media Player and auto landscape mode just like the Verizon stock version.

BTW, just in case, does anyone have the original radio? I have a stock ROM that was posted, but it doesn't include the radio and, of course, doesn't allow the device to boot with the newer radio.

If I can get MMS working and figure out the power drain issue, my fourth donation to PPC Geeks will be on it's way!
