I just ran the Clear Sotrage and everything worked fine. I am now running through the SDautorun as we speak. I wonder if this has to do with the fact that you have the Sprint version of the Touch Pro.

The phone boots up with LESS free RAM with PP of 0 than it does with 12. With SSK 1.2, no Manila, and the HTC dialer disabled, and a PP of 12, I tend to boot with 61 MB free ram out of the 107 total.

With PP of 0, I was booting with 59 MB free, with exactly the same setup.

Opening \Windows\ with File Explorer is MUCH slower with PP of 0, back to stock speed, taking roughly 5 seconds to open, with PP of 12 it takes about 1-2 seconds.

So... yeah... definitely not worth running a PP of 0 as far as I could see. As far as general, overall speed of the phone, I wouldn't say it was noticeably any faster or slower in most aspects, but less RAM and the slow file browsing tells me it isn't worth it.

Hey bast, when they were talking about a PP of 0, it was for the sprint guys that have a bunch more RAM than us... not really a viable option for us VZW guys.

Just wanted to let everyone know that if you use the Clear Storage feature you will HAVE to redo Bored's GPS Fix.

isnt the sprint hard reset, vol down - center d-pad - reset hole?


I find that if i lay the phone flat on the desk when i hard reset it will go every time... if i try to hold it in my hand, it may take several times to get it.



EDIT: A sprint user a couple post down has this to say about hard resetting a sprint TP.

Another thing that I found since I had to do the OTA programming is that my phone is not reseting it's self after finishing the programming.

TrackMe GPS working correctly, locking sat's fine.
(This app can only be configured by com port though)

App relies on SQLce... no issues.

Scott (and anyone else with a kitchen) - new os.nb.payload for 21109-based XIP attached here. While your results may vary, I have found the best stability and fewest "issues" when the XIP and SYS versions match. For me that means 20764 SYS with version 3E and 21109 SYS with version 2E. Note - I have not tried the new 2E I uploaded - but I have used the older 2E (some broken issues previously reported - like phone settings) with 21109 in a kitchen and it was OK.

Out of everything I've tried, I've had the fewest issues with 20764 and 3E. I've taken a massive set of pruning shears to the \Windows directory but kept the HTC bloatware since I'm all about the glam.

At this time, I'm taking a break from ROM work - so no I won't be trying the new beta in the near future. Will re-engage when I get the flash itch... But right now I'm very happy with my phone.

To be honest with you, after comparing it to the standard version I just cooked up it seems to be slower to me. The normal version seemed quicker.

Definately agree.

Suggestions?

Try this one..download the 2nd attached CAB with Diamond in the name:

That worked for me to fix the issue.
