Guruusa, is it possible to put wmreloc in the kitchen some way so us noobs would have a familiar way to upgrade to 6.5?

Thanks for all of your hard work!

Finally got upgraded to 6.5. It does seem to work very well so far. I'm using sprint. I will say this, it runs much smoother when you change the theme to get rid of the bird in the background. Looks like memory runs tight on it, so cutting out background pictures seems to help.

The new start menu is so slow on every device ive tried it on. I'm hoping future sys fixes that.

For what its worth, flashing a ROM is easier than using the kitchen, as there are no real choices to make... That said, I do NOT recommend a Noob install this, as it is still a "test" build...

After using it some, I have needed a reset. Overall I like the rom. The sd card seems to disappear from time to time requiring a reset to fix that as well. The scrolling I can live with. Really right now, the main issue I have is locking the thing. The onlock program I always used in the past doesn't seem to function with 6.5. Hitting start then lock is fairly sluggish.

Ok, I just noticed that the data connection is technically working but only connecting X1. The rom seems to be native for Verizon, so it thinks the phone is roaming or something and won't data connect to Ev. Any suggestions? I want to use this rom. And I feel like I just need the sprint customizations but I'm not dead certain about how to get them.

unlock your ext rom and install your sprint customizations that are needed. search for info on it.

Is there a way to install the 6.5 ROM from the SD Card? I'd like to try it.

Thanks in advance.

Bad me. I unlocked my extended rom a long time ago and I've been using it for storage. Looking for the real sprint extended rom now so I can put it back but I haven't found it yet. May have to go back to a kitchen build I guess.
