looking to take the dive into cooked roms

[heem_infinite]

I just got my Touch Pro 2 from Sprint. It is stock except for my contacts. I'm not impressed with how the TF3D looks as is and need to change it to something better. I have never used anything but stock roms so I have no clue as to what I need to do. Can some point some links out with step by step instructions on how I can do this? I like the way the Juicy rom looks and think I need the newest manilla. I don't know how to unlock the phone if I need to so I need instructions for that also. Please excuse my ignorance on the matter. Also, is tethering allowed with Sprint on this phone, I used the Internet Sharing hack on my touch pro and would like to use it with this also. thanks for any help.

thanks for the help. i will try these later today. is there anything to watch out for so I won't brick my phone? do i need a new radio? I work in a large brick and metal building so the reception is terrible and i'm looking for anyway to improve it.

There's a guide on youtube for it and it helped me out immensely with modding my phone. Unfortunate the forum wont let me directly link it to you because I only have one post but just do this:

1. Go to youtube
2. Search for: How To Unlock And Flash CDMA TP2 Rhodium
3. It should be the first link that pops up by a guy named, "iamdasht19"

It's about 9 minutes of walkthrough on how exactly to unlock and install a custom rom on a sprint touch pro 2.

Hope that helps man.
