OK, I think I figured out what was going on the v4 verizon provisioning. I tried linearburn's GearHead rom (because he uses Calk's kitchen and I figure Calk's verizon cab) and came up with the following (posted in his thread as well).

First the end key (used to turn off verizon phones) vibrates and the sound mode is set to vibrate. On a second press the phone vibrates for a short time and the sound mode is reset to "sound on".
Second, the top button that is used to turn off the screen on a verizon phone, activates shutxp when pressed for a long period.

It's just a matter of us verizon users understanding the buttons. However, mms doesn't work out of the box (you still need to provison it using tjELITE...)

And in case there is confusion, the cab I posted uses the verizon cab from v3.2 (TW) not v4 so the end key activates shutxp.

RE: 23542 Brilliant!! I have tried many including the stock 6.5 and I am very impressed at the art theme (Wolf) and speed. This is the only rom where I didn't change a thing, it's very well done. Quick story. About 10 years ago I was on business in the UPPER Peninsula in Michagan, 25 miles into the forest and came literly face to face with a wolf. Bright yellow eyes just stared at me for about 2 seconds and as ever hair on my body came to attention he turned and walked away into the forest. He must have just had dinner. Thank you Jaxon.

Hey jstine, what does the 28xxx series provide over the 23xxx series besides one is 6.5.3 and the other is 6.5.5? Oh and by the way I flashed a Sprint stock rom and then flashed your V4.4 and the results of the rom was like night and day of what I've been experiencing. No more becoming unstable after 2 or 3 days, just consistent fast, stable, very nice eye candy and user friendly rom to enjoy endlessly. You truly are the man on these roms. And I'm glad I followed your advice from a thread a while back on flashing the stock rom first to get the best results when flashing your rom. I strongly recommend others to do this whereas a lot of the issues they have after flashing your rom will not be present. Also if one encounters a problem after flashing the stock rom then yours, all one need to do is a soft reset and everything will work fine. Again, another thread I read from your earlier posts.

Thanks D-nice

The roms are getting better with it release. Let's hope this will continue and HTC doesn't forget about the folks who laid a great deal of cash out for this phone. Some are jumping ship and heading to the Andorid. Me, I don't see the big deal.

Not sure if I can release the rom just yet. This build (23554) seens to be rock solid, but I want to change more graphics. So maybe, maybe not tomorrow(today).

I suggest you do a soft reset around 1 or 2 x's a day. No, a hard reset will set it back to default without any installed programs that you added after the previous flash. Also data will be cleared. Best to use CleanRam 1 or 2 times a day, then no need to soft reset.

Why the need for soft reset or CleanRam, 6.5.x does have memory leaks. If you cann't live with the above procedures, then maybe you could consider going to a 6.1 rom. They are the most stable but lack the cutting edge tech that comes with 6.5.x roms. I use my for work (hospital) and can not have freezes or lockups. So I try to build stable and fast roms with that in mind. That's why you will find only the basic everyday programs in the rom. Hope this help.

gorelow, try flashing the Sprint update rom 6.5 and then flash jstine's V4.4. I used to have all kinds of problems also before I did this. The difference was like night and day for me. This rom (V4.4) is really rock solid and does not have any freezing or lockups of any kind for me. And I've had this flashed since 3/27/10, had one minor issue did a soft reset and haven't looked back yet. Hope this helps you out. I know the pain of not being able to enjoy jstine's roms and not knowing how to correct a problem yourself.

Hey jstine, I'm lovin this V4.4 rom. Don't have any problems to report to you at this time. Just want to know if you can consider putting on skyfire into the roms since you're making Opera Mobile 10 the default browser and not IExplorer. (Very happy about this) Also d o you know anything about the Mozilla (Fennec) browser for WM. Has Mozilla put out their browser for WM or not. Thanks!
