I'm going to ask a question that is probably very obvious to most of you, but I'm hoping you'll indulge a nice old lady

with somewhat average technical know-how...

I've had my Touch Pro for about 7 months. Shortly after I got it, I flashed the ROM with another of the ones listed and went about my business, never really checking back to upgrade/update further. Last month, I lost my phone and after having it replaced, had to start from scratch. This time I installed MightyROM 4 and have tried to stay up with things a little better. I think I currently have the 6/5 version and will probably install the 6/9 version before I leave on vacation in a couple weeks.

My question has to do with MightyROM4 vs. MightyROM5. I understand that they are using different operating systems, just wondering what the benefits of MightyROM4 (is this the "reborn" one) over MightyROM5? Is MightyROM4 more stable which MightyROM5 is still developing? Also, I notice a lot of you mentioning 4.16 as being a great ROM. What advantages did it have over these others?

Thanks for indulging my ignorance!!!

the mighty rom 4 series uses Windows mobile 6.1, which has been around a while and comes on just about every windows mobile phone around the world. having been around awhile, it's very well tweaked for speed and stability. the mighty rom 5 series has windows mobile 6.5 which has not even been officially released yet and still has some minor bugs.
4.16 is considered one of the most solid builds of all of mighty's roms. It was the last release before he started calling the 4 series R3BORN or Mighty Rom 4.

Okey doke, got it. I'll try to keep up a bit better from here on. But that does a lot to give me a quick understanding for what's behind the multiple builds. Sounds like not a bad idea to stick with 4 for now....although it's interesting that most seem to be developing for the "unofficial" mobile 6.5 already. I assume Sprint's ROM is still 6.1? Just curious, do you think Sprint would be making 6.5 available to current customers when it becomes official? I assume we don't need it with MightyMike5, but I'm just curious if they have a history of making these kind of updates available to their current customers?

Thanks Razorloves! And for the great ROM MM...

Hey Mike just FYI. I know you are tweakin the same as I am about the release of the TP2 but I got bad news. From what I understand and only a select few areas online confirm this but It's not slated to be released till around fall. I know a tech at my local Sprint store and he said Sprint doesn't want to release due to the Pre release. And he heard from his regional mgr that it would not be out till maybe even closer to Novemeber. I'm bummed. At least I got the Mighty TP to hold me up. Thanks to you for that. Thought you might want to know.

Crap....heres an update to this http://tech.msn.com/products/article...0354248&page=2

That's right, every phone carrier is still using 6.1. There's been rumors that sprint will release an official 6.5 update for the touch pro, but I don't think anything is concrete yet. Even if they don't, I'm sure ppcgeeks will take care of it for them.
