I messed with this rom for 5 hours roughly and I must say that this rom is really garbage. It is like they stole the kitchen from one of the chefs on here. It is cool that they rolled manila 2.5 but really Mighty Mike your roms are the damn best plain and simple. Back to impact and to hell with the sprint update. Guys really take your parts you need and let the cooking begin. The hype of this will die in a few days.

Haha Okay so Although I do not like this Upgrade....Im not leaving empty handed!!!

As you read Im stripping down the Windows registry for icons....cabs.......manilas...etc. If only I knew how to snatch this slider or certain tabs from it....now that would be great!! Anyone know how that can be achieved??

Is it just me or am I the only one who wasn't expecting the Sprint rom to kick ass?
Sprint is not competing with the chefs at all, nor should they. Their job is to put out the most stable and consistent platform that they can. Not the prettiest nor the most loaded. Adding 2.5 was probably more than they should of done. Obviously even they gave up trying to fix its issues.

Hopefully this will prove to be a super stable 6.5 rom that we can use as a base going forward to build it even better. Because despite how pretty the rom was, or how loaded it was or even how close to stable it was, ALL the custom ROMS eventually ran me back to 6.1. Despite how I love my toy it is a work device first and foremost and therefore MUST be completely stable.

Sprint did exactly what they needed to do and even added a little extra. They should be commended for that.

KUDO’s Sprint!

You should try Mr.X 6.5. It is solid and fast as hell. You will throw away 6.1 and not look back.

One thing that bothered me is it didn't even look like anyone put any effort into the start menu, it looked like a bomb went off. FAILURE!

Are you going to call Mighty's next release a failure since he stated there won't be folder organization? It's not that hard to organize your own folders, seriously.

Not sure what most of the people in here expected from a stock ROM but most of the comments are quite amusing. I switched off Mighty's last 6.5/2.1 release to this new stock ROM and so far no issues. I tried Mighty's WAR 2 weeks ago and went back to his regular ROM. Once he releases his new 2.5 ROM in a few days I am sure I will end up using that instead of the new stock ROM, but really other than the typical bloat from a stock ROM this isn't that bad. Seems like people in here were expecting this to make their breakfast and do their job for them or something, its a stock ROM made for the majority of people who have the phone and are not on this site using custom ROM's or for whatever reasons do not use custom ROM's.
