[oneders65]

This is not the way to get to Rooted 2.1! The only way to get to Rooted 2.1 is from 1.5 to 2.1!!!!!!

The most recent HTC Leaked ROM is this one. If you have the old leak it is recommended to update to this other leaked version.

HTC 2.1 Release Candidate (AKA OTA) Leak Rom
Verizon test rom, possible OTA leak. Do not Install if you want root.

This latest leak is pretty good. Fixes some issues from the 1st and 2nd leaked 2.1 ROM, and seems even snappier.

Will keep me going until 2.1 is rooted.

LOL - you know what I meant.
And to be "technical", 1.5 is rooted, which allows you to then install 2.1 on your rooted phone. But that's splitting nerd hairs. (Of which I'm running out of).

It's my understanding that it is a problem with the gmail app. From what I've read other android phones running 2.xx have the same issue, so it's apparently not a bug in the leaked ROM.

I also still have an issue with the sound going out completely for the phone, requiring a reboot. While this happened daily with the original 2.1 leaked ROM, it's only happened once with the latest one.

Has anyone else has had problems with Google Voice not working? Even when I click on dial with GV my cell phone number still pops up on the other persons caller ID and it's using my VZW minutes

You'll always still use your VZW minutes with GV as you're still dialing out (it's not VoIP).
