Is there any way for me to use WM5 with the VZW Titan?

Is it possible to flash a WM5 ROM to this device? If so, which one and what will I need to do to make things like SMS etc. work properly...?

yes. why would you want to do that though? the current WM6 ROM is far more stable and reliable than WM5.

I need tegaki input for Japanese and WM6 refuses to have anything to do with any sort of Japanese handwriting recognition even though i have regular text entry working fine. WM5 works no problem with it. Unless someone can get WM6 working with tegaki i need WM5 lol

oh then yeah, if you check the threads about flashing roms, there should be a WM5 ROM on the ftp somewhere...

Will a ROM for another carrier work fine without any customizations though? I don't know a whole lot about this stuff yet. I can follow instructions, but beyond that...

I'd really like to cook a WM5 ROM customized for VZW with a custom first boot splash that says NTT DoCoMo as per this image: http://www.ubergizmo.com/photos/2006...ocomo-logo.jpg and then maybe the GIF startup could animate that like it does on an docomo phone... lol I'm weird, I know.

If someone could point me to a guide or something I'd be willing to figure it out...

a ROM from another carrier should work fine. I am with Telus and have the Sprint 2.17 ROM installed and working better than ever on here.

My device is flashing to Sampson's Clean WM5 at the moment... hopefully this works! I'd really like to figure out what's preventing WM6 from loading tegaki handwriting recognition...

I've been using that rom for over a month now and it has been faster and more stable, with more available memory than any of Sprint's ROMs, although I haven't tried 2.17 yet. Maybe the Verizon ROM is better than Sprint's but for my experience WM5 runs far better on this device than WM6

I can't believe it... Tegaki works fine in WM5. There has to be a reason why it's not working in WM6.
