Wow I just tried this rom and I am really liking it!! Touch flo is much much faster. At first it was slow but it seems like it's caching it or something. But ea subsequent use it's very nice.

It just seems way more usable, less buggy and more intuitive. Took a few minutes and got google maps on again, contacts back on, gmail push working... I'm liking my Tpro now

hahaha

I noticed it has a few other version upgrades.
Windows is 5.2.2.21054 (build 21054.1.6.7) vs 5.2.1.19965 (Build 19965.1.2.3)
windows Live for mobile = 10.6.0052.1300 = newer than what you can get from Microsoft.

That is all I have notice so far that has not been mentioned here.

Does anyone else notice the software keyboard looks different? It seems to have more space between the "keys". For me, it makes it easier to type.

Yes, i have noticed. I'm not sure how i feel about the new rom. I was really hoping for windows mobile 6.5 or at least a major upgrade. This isn't really a upgrade at all. All they basically added was slide to answer and a few tweaks to make the device preform faster. I haven't tested the gps but after just trying the rom for 20 minutes i woulden't get my hopes up. I guess i could either customize it a bit or upgrade to a custom rom.

Seeing how this ROM was built about 2 months ago who knows if a 6.5 one will ever surface.

this may be a stupid question... it says everything will be erased including contacts, calendar, 3rd party apps, etc. Can I do a Sprite backup of everything and after the flash, reload the backup?

Absolutely.

I would never reload a complete backup after a ROM flash; you might overwrite some fixed or changed system files. You can safely reload things like contacts/calendar/email - basically your user files.

Thanks for the warning. This is exactly what I'm afraid of. I guess I'll have to determine if the upgrade/changes is worth the time and effort to reinstall all my apps, and the registry tweaks.
