Thanks.

Vboys, this ROM is packaged with the default Sprint ExtROM (extended ROM). That means that if you didn't pull out the extended ROM before you flashed, you wiped your Verizon ExtROM and replaced it with Sprint's, which might explain why you had some Sprint stuff on your XV6700.

This ROM works fine on Verizon phones as long as you only update the CE ROM image and nothing else (don't change the radio or the extrom).

If you did only flash the CE ROM image, did you forget to hard reset after flashing?

You can recover from this by running the latest Verizon flash update from UTStarcom's web site and then reflashing just the ROM image from Colonel's package.

Some quick initial comments (you asked for opinions & preferences, so I'll include them). More testing tomorrow.

- CF 2 - WOW, neat. Works fine with Virtual Earth.
- Dialer just the way I like it

- I'd prefer to not have O2 and TCPMP (concerned about O2 using Today 'slots' even though not selected - had a problem in the past with WM5 and too many inactive plug-ins)
- I'd prefer to not have left soft-key mapped to Flashlight (trivial to change, no biggie)
- Not sure about putting beta SW (Live Search) in ROM

Having an issue with icons in the Start Menu. OnLock and Resco Explorer (installed to SD) both have the default 'DOS-like' icons in the Start Menu after having run. Can be selected from menu and run OK, but never get the non-default icons for either.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the input. Let me know if having O2 deactivated is causing problems. As far as I know, OnLock never actually had an icon. The Resco thing may be due to a SD card dismount. Keep an eye on it to see if you are loosing your SD card. Sprint, Verizon, or other?

You're right about OnLock not having an icon in Programs (I'd never used it before so ASSumed it did; sorry - my error).

I installed 4 more apps to SD (FlexMail, Virtual Earth, acbPowerMeter and Adobe Reader LE 2.0). Reader icon was OK, but same issue with FlexMail, Virtual Earth and PowerMeter icons as with Resco Explorer.

Interestingly - if I wait long enough after a soft reset (15-20 seconds) before tapping the Start menu, the icons are OK and will stay that way. If I wait only 10 or so seconds after a reset, the icons are defaulted, and will stay that way, even if I use the apps, until the next reset.

I don't think I'm losing the SD card, but it does take about 10 seonds after power on before apps can access the card.

Sprint (and I used your ExtRom).

i think it has something to do with the fact that i carry my conacts with me all the time via the pim file imma try again and see what happens my copy and overwrite work just fine with oem rom and 2.2

@haus

Yeah I already had to reflash from Verizon rom and re-did this Rom and soft reset while it's doing the PST thing.

Man I need to think of a custom ROM for my "MUST HAVE" apps or som'n keep re-installing them is not fun.

I myself got the "DOS-like" icon as everyone else too when the device booted up, and I had some shortcuts added to the launcher apps that point to a location in SD card. Wonder why 3.3 rom has this problem where as this problem didn't exist in 2.2 as far as I know.
