That is the link to the Sprint OEM 6.5 hosted on the HTC website. The rom update is the top download link.

Or... you can just download mine in the first post

Hey Chris, I just wanted to thank you for this ROM. I loaded it on my dumb kid's phone (first build) because she wanted just the stock upgrade and doesn't like the ROMs I build. I couldn't bring myself to load and un-tweaked stock ROM.

Well, it's running great. She won't even let me load the newer builds. She says she's happy! So, thanks again!

Hi there. So... I thought I would give my objective 2 cents. I would say that this ROM probably brings the tether safe benefit... but I was hoping to see some snappiness and was disappointed to see that the speed is pretty much identical.

Also, I am not a fan of sense UI so I disabled that. I am not sure why the active sync shortcut was removed.. but I had to assign it to my HOLD send key in order to get it up and configured.

I don't have any complaints other than it wasn't the fastness that I hoped for... oh and occasionnally it sticks in landscape mode.

This ROM is a lot better than the Sprint stock - not sure why it wasn't for you... and the Activesync icon is in the Outlook folder as stated earlier in this thread.

Hi, Can you use other cabs for your rom? like the HOme cab that allows you to put more shortcuts on your home screen>

Well... opinions I guess. I think it was no different. I tried both. Again, the only difference I saw was that tethering is available and that landscape mode gets stuck. Looks like I didn't notice the outlook icon was a folder. I would have expected that to look like a folder. You are correct though, so I remove that complaint.

So really, the only slight issue left is that it gets stuck in landscape from time to time. It is a very slight improvement over stock... except for the landscape thing.

I happen to have liked the "Reply All" button on email. Is there a regedit I can do to put it back now that you've removed it?

I'm using the cookie monster home tab mod and it works just fine with this rom. I haven't noticed it sticking in landscape any more than pretty much every windows phone I have ever owned (back to my t-mobile mda days) takes a slight pause going from portrait to landscape and vice versa. We only have so much RAM to work with, so once the RAM usage climbs up there it slows things down and that's normal, even on a desktop. But overall performance has been very good. Every once in a while I close everything and run cleanram which helps too.
