I'm considering switching to either your 6.5.x ROM or this RETRO one. I don't use twitter, so I wouldn't miss that tab at all, but I do love the program links on the Home Tab (and the option of using the CHT mod, though I realize that slows things down a bit).

I'm guessing this ROM would be the fastest of your 3, but is your 6.5.x faster than your 6.5? Would it be worth me trying that to see if it speeds things up? Or if speed is really what I'm looking for, should I just go straight to retro?

Also, if I'm correct, you've moved on to the EVO--so thanks for all the work you put into the TP2.

The 6.5X is a lot faster in my opinion however you truly cannot beat the speed of the retro roms. They are blazing fast in comparison.

I installs your rom (HC BLACK) yesterday, and it's great!
The only problem is that I cannot add a contact.
When i click add new contact or "save to existing" it doesn't respond.

Liking this ROM so far. How do I get the Music Player back on the today screen? I dont see it anywhere.

I was told to install Audio Manager, Is this the correct app to restore the MusicPlayer I had?

Not sure what music player on the home screen you are referring to. Was it a shortcut? I only remember either WM Player or HTC's music player which was built into the sense tab.

ive just recently started flashing and now iam addicted.lol although i think iam gonna stick with ure retro sprint 2.1 for quite a while , cause this thing cooks! i was also uneasy about only booting with about 107mb compaired to the mr x rom i had which booted with about 120mb ram but honestly i think ures is a bit snappier for some reason. i just flashed it so ill have to let u know in a few days but so far iam exstatic. nice job

Well... This is only my 3rd custom ROM ever. Here's my feedback comparing this ROM to Energy and the stock Sprint ROM:

PROs
1 - WAY faster than Energy or Sprint
2 - No issues with stability. Energy was really really buggy for me, particularly with bluetooth. Sprint often lags when opening certain apps. I have had no issues with either on this ROM.
3 - Text messaging actually loads when I hit the SMS button. This didn't happen on the Sprint stock rom.
4 - THANK GOD there is a task manager in the upper right corner on the home screen. I missed that ever since I ditched my Treo Pro a year or so ago.
5 - Everything just loads quickly. This never happened for me in the Stock Sprint ROM.
6 - All of the original Sprint apps are included, including "update prl" and "update profile" which I have not seen in other custom ROMs. This was a problem for me in the Energy ROM since I had to re-flash my phone to sprint to get data working, then re-flash back to energy. It's nice to have everything included.
7 - Bluetooth end call actually works. This does not work in Energy. In the Energy ROM, you press the end call button on your headset and the whole phone freezes. This ROM does not have that problem at all.
8 - Wifi Router is an awesome addon!

CONs
The only CON that I have is I liked the shortcuts to apps on the home screen, but there is a whole page of apps you can customize in HTC Sense, so it really isn't an issue. It really is something I will get used to quickly.

Bottom line - No complaints. This is exactly what I have been looking for to extend the life of my Touch Pro 2. I haven't wanted to upgrade to SERO Premium, and this lets me stay on my super cheap $30 plan for longer.
