Updated 1/16/09 VZW Pro Rom for Sprint Converts

**Getitnowmarketing** · #1 (**permalink**) 12-30-2008, 12:31 AM

This is a rather clean rom with the VZW stock look as all the VZW custom roms I've seen are a little too custom for my taste. Its sys 20931 xip 20931 with stock Vzw manila with new IE6. Gps is standard not locked to vz navigator which (vz nav) will not run on this rom. Page Pool is 24mb dynamic.

PICS ARE OUTDATED FROM 20931 BUILD!!!

This is created for a sprint to vzw converted pro which will work fine on a VZW branded one as well. Standalone Gps works right away with a converted sprint Pro with agps support if the qpst entries have been set in Non Volatile Memory (same as 6800 and 6900 for VZW). VZW branded ones will need to do lllbored's gps fix

Current 1/16/09 and future updates will be posted at ppchaven.com due to google indexing here. 1/16/09 is a much newer sys/xip. New Build is lightning fast!!!

Were you able to put the Youtube short cut in the internet tab?

Nah havent really messed with it. My sprint pro that I converted to vzw is out for repair for a defective keyboard orientation magnet that kept making it switch from land to portrait. Built this on a friends Pro from the rom I've been tweaking for a few weeks.

Are the Sprint TP's on Verizon not able to use Sprint Roms?

Note Advanced config & Diamond Tweaks are not included as they seemed to have adverse effects on my TP especially with the light sensor functions.

This is created for a sprint to vzw converted pro which will work fine on a VZW branded one as well. Standalone Gps works right away with a converted sprint Pro with agps support if the qpst entries have been set in Non Volatile Memory (same as 6800 and 6900 for VZW). VZW branded ones will need to do lllbored's gps fix which I have not tested as I don't have a VZW branded Pro.

Can someone with a VZW branded Pro test the "My Button" to see if it works as it doesn't seem to map as there is no such fav button on my sprint branded Pro.

Downloading now. Will tell you how it works on a VZW Branded TP with the bored fix.

Not without work to change the connection profiles & mms to vzw and still have a sprint branded manila and many non-working sprint apps in it. This is using build 20931 with the new IE6 thats not in any stock rom with many VZW items I OEMed.

Tried it out. overall pretty darn snappy. I really like the emphasis on clean. I build clean style ROM's myself. I think the page pool, although limits our memory pretty good, does help the overall perfoamnce quite noticeably. I was somewhat impressed as I was initially worried the size would detract from main memory too much. Quite an impressive pick that ended up working well!

As far as My Button, the support seemns to be missing. I noted to GC how to fix this same problem in his thread. You need to download the VZW original welecome center files and place them in the OEM folder of your kitchen. I uploaded them to GC 1.1.2 thread. You can look in there and find them if you are interested. If you cant find them let me know I would be glad to grab them and upload if you are interested. The portion of My Button that is missing is in the control panel under buttons. We have one additional selection under that menu for the My Button Button. I also noted that you had the same issue I noted with GC's ROM and the ROM I very first created with eRice's kitchen. When you try to use the My Button Settings on the Settings TAB of TF3D it pulls up IE6. IE6 is not compatible with the HTM used in the welcome cetner applet for MY Button. Thats what I believe anyways. Delesecting IE 6 has fixed the issue for me. Also when you do select the My Button settings it brings you to the cComplete Welcome Center first where My Button is already highlighted. On the stock ROM it will take you directly to the My Button HTM from the welcome center. I have not seen this before. Adding those two folder may just fix that.

I couldnt get the GPS to Lock with the lllboredlllfix pre-applied so I applied it again. I tried to obtain a lock but still could not. This is not normal behavior for my phone. I normally get locks running my ROM (another stock clone) in under 60 serconds worst case scenario. I tried out on the deck and still the same results. With this in mind I would have to conlcude that this ROM is not compatible with our GPS hardware lockdown scheme. I have another identical phone right next two it that is lockiung just phone on the stock ROM using the version 2.0 fix.

One thing that I did note that was exceptional about the ROM was the screen refresh speed. It was very crisp. I was quite impressed. I think your larger page pool really shows off there. It also shows off on TouchFlow 3D Scrolling from side to side.

After playing around a little more I deleted the items you had auto lodaing in the start up folder at \\windows\startup. Thats when this thing really took off. It freed up about 6 megs of memory and that really let this thing breath. It was very fast at this point. I was impressed! This ROM did not have any stock lag for sure.

Great job overall and I would recomend to any VZW user with either type device so long as the VZW branded phone user is not concerned about My Button or GPS. Very well done!

Thanks for the tip on my button. This was built using the kitchen sprint base which was cleaned up a little and is not built from the vzw base with the exception of some OEM's and cabs and is probably why the gps performs differently on a VZW branded one. The personalizer in startup writes the Verizon Wireless banner at screen refresh for us sprint converted ones and remove if unneeded. If you use qpst to write it will only say Verizon as it doesn't have enough character spaces. This is my registry for scrolling speed in TF3 :

Code:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings]
"FingerPressure"=dword:000000f0

It will appear to change back to 16 but the speed boost will persist. It has nothing to do with PP as it worked the same with a stock 12mb static.

Has a stock sprint PRI been tested on a vzw pro with a standard gps set(every other carrier's gps api's and dll's)?

Thanks for the insight and will update my button next build. How much free ram was on the vzw branded one after first boot?

Included the beta oem for my button I made. Guess it needs VZW 19xxx welcome center not a 20xxx sys one. Anyway if it helps in debugging it go for it.

Updated to 21xxx/21xxx 1/16/09 . Posted at ppchaven.com for reasons unlisted. Read between the lines.

Works great. A lot faster than the stock VZW ROM.
