I am running a stock ROM from US Cellular with 6.5 without issues. We have our own issues with data, but that has to do with our carrier.

I ran energy rom with no problems. Just remember to uncheck "HTC Sense" in items.

I enjoyed it but the battery life was less than spectacular vs say a mighty or x. From what I understand x is one of the better for bat life. I now run a slimmed down custom since I have been using LeSScro's Windows 7 and it's pretty quick and something new. I switch around quite a bit. I am looking forward to android in a more complete state. I really need bluetooth for work and in car.
Come to think of it, you probably don't need to disable HTC Sense. I forgot I was on the android forum, lol. When using LeSScro Windows 7 you should remove HTC Sense to keep it runnin like butta.

Running yesterday's energy rom on Sprint TP2. Tried Android first time last night, initial boot took 5 min, after that around 2 min. 3G connection after removing the sim card, fast connection, phone works well, got new apps from the market place. I'm new to this sub-forum, very, very impressed.

They are saying on some sites that it has Sense 2.5, let us know when you get it loaded. Of course since I'm on VZW it does me no good, but still interested.
