Official Sprint 6.5 ROM Touch Pro 2 RELEASE (Official Discussion Thread)

[jobarules]

I'm having trouble installing this using Parallels on my Mac. It's the only 'PC' access I have and I'm worried this isn't going to work (even though there's no reason I can think of as to why).

It seems, once the new ROM starts to flash the device, the USB connection is momentarily broken for some strange reason.

Does this observation of mine mean anything to any of you guys?

It is pretty unbelievable, the one thing that might actually be useful & good old Sprint leaves it out.

I have HTC Messaging working just fine in my Verizon phone with NRGs Dusk ROM, but my boss has a Sprint TP2 & he has been bugging the hell out of me to get it working in his phone (he couldn't flash a ROM to save his life)

I couldn't WAIT to finally DL & install an OFFICIAL ROM in his phone figuring that would finally get him off my back. What the hell are people praising in this ROM, it would have been outdated a month ago???????

Anybody get a custom 1% taskbar to work?

I was using MighyROM's and his suggestions of CMYLXGO'S task bars and they don't want to work.
I even tried two different 1% cabs. tp2's and enable1Percent.

I tried looking for something in the different upgrade threads, but that's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

I tried starting a taskbar thread with only taskbars, but I guess lurkers don't have good ideas.

Any Ideas why it's not working with Sense 2.5.

Cheers,

Bill

The poster above seems to indicate the slide to unlock feature that comes standard with WM6.5 is not present in this ROM update?

Yes there is a slide to unlock screen and it works pretty much like all of the previous WM versions out of the box. If you do a long press end key the default is set to turn off your phone radio. But if you go to settings and open the Buttons icon in Personal you can use the setting for long press end key to either lock the phone or give a menu that you can choose lock from.

I'm sure this is one of the dumbest questions on here, but what is HTC messaging?

not a dumb question at all, it is just a different SMS client that HTC came up with to better match Sense.

Not going to work, AFAIK. I tried it on my MAC with other roms, (glad it's not my main machine) and each time it died. I was using VMWARE,

Go to your local library and take along your usb connections and the file on a flash and have fun.

It's a nice rom.

I miss the contact favorites manager though.

It still does when you select the contact, but not in the favorites.

each instance of the contact is separate.
I tried putting one text and mobile phone and it takes the other off.
I don't know how else to do this except to create a duplicate contance and use it just for texting or email.

Any body else see this???

I'm surprise they use the LEO rom as a stock for 6.5
