A few newbie ?s

My Sprint TP2 is a critical business device for me and stability is extremely important to me. I've only used MightMike's ROM thus far and have been please but have experienced some issues lately that has me looking to switch. Lag is a problem for me. It just takes to long for my finger presses to be registered on the phone. Selecting tabs, dialing numbers is always a pain. Therefore, if I want something super stable AND responsive which versions should I opt for?

Another problem with MM's is I lost many of the Sprint Apps (TV/NFL/NASCAR). It wasn't a big deal to me so I didn't bother me. However, the other day I was stuck a wedding during the Daytona 500 and a few of us quietly wanted to know what was going on. Yep, its the only race of the year I actually care to watch and I had to go to a wedding. Also, I was recently enduring a long wait at the ER with the TV was stuck on CNN. I would have been nice to have the Disney Channel on Sprint TV. Am I right, that these apps are all included and working on all the Neo versions?

Lastly, it seems the flash process is completely different with this ROM. MM's is super easy. Plug phone into USB, run EXE file and your done. With Neo I have a RAR file that my computer does not recognize and I don't know what to do with. For me, the instructions are not complete enough because I don't understand how my phone ever sees the RAR file on my computer when I turn off the USB connection in WMDC. I'm sure it something simple that I now look like a complete idiot for asking, but if there are other MM users out there looking to switch they'll be wondering the same thing. It would be a great help if there instructions were expanded a bit more, especially in light of those of us coming from a EXE flashing process.

a RAR file is a zip file, any unzipping utility can unpack it and then flashing is the same... Neodium feels quicker to me than MM... as for those other apps, there are a million threads here with the cabs for those, so a lot of the cooks don't build them in... do a quick search and you'll find exactly what you need... the cabs are easy to add for those that want them... if a chef built this stuff into a ROM, much harder to remove for those that do not want them...

You need winrar or 7zip...I use 7-zip.....it will extract the file and you run it as normal...

EDIT: ACS beat me to it...lol...same answers....

Re: 02/27/10 Sprint Neodium_V_8;V_8.5 is up !

Quick question, why is the 1% battery driver added in V7 and then removed again in V8... I am on V4 right now, which I love, but there have been some useful updates since this version, including integration of facebook photos, but at the same time, I really like the 1% driver and was curious what problems it's been causing for it to be removed? Sorry if this has been covered before... Thx

Re: 02/27/10 Sprint Neodium_V_8;V_8.5 is up !

honestly if you don't know what a .rar file is or a .7z file, let alone a .zip file. you should not be flashing your phone. this may risk bricking your phone.

anyways, i flashed mighty impact rom... the battery life is soo good that ive let the lag problem fly pass me. I should come back to try out neodium v8 or v8.5 again

thanks neodium for the nice rom. waiting for your improvements on battery life

a) It has been speculated that the 1% driver might cause more battery drain than the native driver, so he might be testing that.

b) The 1% driver isn't that accurate anyway.
