If you have mighty rom, then you plug the phone into computer and pick internet sharing on the menu that pops up on your phone, and it works. I use internet sharing everyday too. love it. Did you try hitting "Connect" in the bottom left? If you are doing it with an XP machine, then Microsoft Activesync must be installed. hope that helps

Hello! Got my Sprint TP approx 6 wks ago... It's everything I've ever wanted my phone to be! I adore it. Bought it NIB had it flashed to MetroPCS, and paid a very nice man to get internet, mms and gps, etc. to work. I'm running Juicy 5 and it's okay, but the MMS issues and the inability to set any ringtone to work consistently is getting on my last nerve. The man that programmed the phone has cooked his own rom and offered to reflash for me, but he lives really faraway, so I'm gonna do it myself. I decided to try a Mighty Mike rom, found this one, read the entire thread and followed most of the links but I have questions... if this is the wrong place to post, please let me know, nicely. I'm sensitive that way. And I apologize in advance.

Questions:

1. BACK-UP - I'm using SPB Backup - will that back up everything? There are a few programs that I'd like to retain, but I'm not sure how to keep them (I think some were cooked into the ROM - did I say that right?). I have Tom-Tom Navigator and Google Maps and would like to keep them, too. And my Music ID... (I can reinstall the programs I've d/l'd myself - I'm just unsure about the others... Pocket Rar and PHMRegedit are a couple I'd like to keep, as well.) And if I do a full restore is that going to affect the new ROM in some negative way?

2. INTERNET SETTINGS - Will this MetroPCS carrier cab - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501754 - work with this ROM? It's okay if it doesn't, I've pretty much got the settings memorized. I've read them like a thousand times.

3. MMS - I'm currently using Arcsoft 5.0.20.24 and it bites. Is it the build or the ROM? I noticed links for MMS progs on the first page... I know which version I'll use if I need to add it manually (or do I have to use one of the ones listed for it to be compatible with my carrier, because, if so, I don't know which one to use), but does that mean I have to download and install separately? And will I have to uninstall the old version or is that done when I flash?

4. GPS - Having read the thread, I have no reason to believe that it won't work "out of the box" and that QuickGPS is included... Am I correct?

5. THEMES AND TWEAKS - I intend to install the "hello kitty pink full", the transparent clock, and to make my custom wallpaper appear in all backgrounds, and a couple of other things; however, I'm unsure as to when. Should I use the ROM for a period of time (and, if so, how long) before tweaking it... I really don't have the inclination to spend my time constantly reprogramming my phone, it's my favorite toy and I love actually using it.

6. REFLASHING - For the record, if the ringtone issue wasn't there, I'd live with the crappy MMS. But my life has a soundtrack and my phone should reflect that. Actually, my daughter was beaten and carjacked last Saturday night and I missed four calls from her because my phone didn't ring and that disturbs me. I've read the Juicy threads and the ringtone issue, at last read and I'm tired of reading now, still exists. So, will I have to keep reflashing? Can't I just find a ROM and stick with it (other than upgrading to 6.5 when the bugs are worked out and did I just answer my own question... )?

So, with the words "Here I come to save the day" echoing in my head, I've turned to Mighty Mike's ROM for a solution.

Thanks in advance for your kindness, patience and assistance.

Please note: I have read a bizillion threads referencing most of these subjects, but these are the specific questions with which I remain. xoxo

1. Although it is possible... It is highly recommended that u do not attempt to restore a backup between 2 different ROMS...

4. GPS works great & yes QuickGPS is included although some members are reporting problems of it not working..

5. There is no down time before tweaking so have at it!

6. This is one of the fastest & most stable ROMS available IMO so you can STOP Reflashing..... until an update comes...

Welcome to PPCGEEKS.

First off let me begin by saying I hope that your daughter is doing O.K.

Mike probably makes the most stable Roms out there. I have flashed most of them at one point or another, and have to say that Mikes are the best.

This ROM does have the ringer issue as well. That said, the issue is sporadic and does not affect everyone. If having a phone that rings all the time is the biggest issue for you, I would suggest using the ROM that preceded this one 4.16. It is super fast and has no issues that I have found so far. As a matter of fact, I am running it myself due to the ringer issues and 6.5 still being a little buggy.

I am on sprint so I don't know much about your mms issue and would be of no real help there.

The programs that you have for your phone will work on this ROM. Instead I would look at using sashimi. I do not use it myself (i am kind of a dinosaur and like to do everything myself) but I hear wonderful things about it. I have heard that using SPB backup sometimes carries the ringer issue to a new flash.

Start to customize right away.

4.16 comes with pocketrar built in so no need to worry about having to puit it back on.

There are a lot more things that you asked and I will be more than happy to assist you with whatever I can, but since you touch on so many different subjects and so many different threads, it may be better if you P.M.'d
me. If you need any cabs I have most of them, and for the ones that I don't have, I could probably point you in the right direction.

Pirish.
