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

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!

I think he was talking about the lack of folders...Easy fix to that though. Use total commander and create forlders in the windows, start menu, programs, section for whatever you want and organize them accordingly. I have done that with a lot of custom roms.

Those same big icons you can get on WAR so not sure what custom roms your using. WAR blows the Sprint 6.5 out of the water.

I am sure if I look back on the hour that I used it, I may have liked one thing or two, I don't remember though. Let me get some more Captain' in me and maybe I will remember. lol

Pass sum of that Captain over here while ur at it lol, but I think I sympathize with you a little bit, we patiently waited almost 6 months for this update, so a lot of ppl had high hopes for something incredible, but got a ROM that feels like they been using or used for months now right?

Does anyone have a fix for the always-flipping clock? I have two cabs that fixed this for the older mightyroms, but they don't work on this one. That, and the always-blinking LED are driving me nuts.

Thanks,
Dave
