Id like to think I know my way around a computer but Ive been searching for the past week on the touch pro 2 forum. Trying to figure out things like sense UI, CDMA, GSM, kitchen, cooking, cabs, widgets, and other very confusing acronyms as well as lingo. My head hurts! lmao Thanks to google and ref. links from post I have been able to modify my

Home page
back ground,
slide to unlock,
clear clock,
Start menu as well as others Im sure Im forgetting so Ive made progress.

Now I want to take a look at modifying my ROM for my Touch Pro 2 (sprint) and Im alittle too reluctant as to which ROM to use or to modify my phone with.

I dont know which Roms apply to my phone and what exactly I should be looking for as far as which Roms dont.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks guys

I am trying Neodium v2 for Sprint TP2 and really like it. There are several chefs here that make great roms. This one I like, in part, because it is for the Sprint version and not just CDMA. Everyone likes different food...That's why so many roms

With the TP2, all you will do is rom upgrades and fixes and never actually use the phone much, at first its fun but after a while you get sick of it. I have 3 TP2’s and I’m selling them all, I’m so damn sick and tired of putting up with this garbage.

Take it from me, its best to learn a new OS like Android that is a lot better, more stable, and growing quickly than an end of life (EOL) phone like the TP2 with an antique OS like Windows Mobile (WinMo). Also, this WON’T upgrade to WinMo 7, so you’re just throwing your money away.

Take my advice, I tell it like it is, a lot of Microsoft employees visit these forums and try to BS you about how great WinMo is, but its all a lie, I’ve been using WinMo for many years and it just can’t compete any longer, that’s why they have forums devoted just for rom upgrades.

i think the point that fishingmedic is trying to say is, if you don't have anything nice to say, you don't have to say anything at all. we were taught this in grade school. now im not saying that you can't put your 2 cents in, but if you felt the need to say something, why can't it be put in a "constructive criticism" instead of being cynical about it? nothing wrong with having an opinion because everyone has them.

nikkig, based on what you said, you have extensive experience with winmo phones, what im wondering is why couldn't you give modmyppc a few pointers regarding his new winmo device? because he did ask for help. even if you were slamming the tp2 in the form of a constructive criticism, people wouldn't take offense. besides, your rant seems like it's with the device's OS. so why slam the device as well?? would you still talk the way you did if the tp2 was an android phone?

my point is, for modmyppc and myself, it's our first tp2 device. and since the nostalgia is still there, i think it's the best thing since sliced bread. would i eventually tire of the device? of course...but that's in the future. will i try to go android? wouldn't mind having a droid...again, in the furutre. what im saying is, although i've read bad and good things about tp2 on winmo, i'd like to be able to find out for myself what the device can and cannot do. because even though you have bad blood against winmo, you yourself don't know if i'll feel the same way about the device i have. let modmyppc experience the good, as well as the bad with winmo and his/her tp2.

just remember my friend, to each is his own.

Thanks for the Invite Darren,

Ive went through a few of your old post and I must say I will def. take you up on that offer!

Thanks!

Neuteboomt, Mojary

Thanks for the breakdown guys.

You made it very simple for me to understand and I appreciate it!

btw. Thanks Neu for telling me what a Flash and brick are! lmao

Out of curiousity guys.

If you do flash a gsm rom can't you just flash a CDMA to fix it or it doesn't work that way?

What are you a Microsoft employee or something. Also, who are you to tell me where I can and cannot go? I have a TP2 and so I am entitled to be here just as much as you are.

The main reason why I dont want to switch is because I have an excellent plan. Back when the reps where able to hand out perks for resigning with sprint I recieved alot from them!

My plan is $30.00

All Minutes Include Long Distance
1000 Anytime Minutes
Unlimited Night & Weekend Minutes
Nights: M-Th 8PM-7AM Wknd: F 8PM-M 7AM
Sprint Data plus pack
Unlimited texting
Unlimited picture mail

Its in incredible plan!!!

If I go for the Android or any of the other new phones I have to change my plan and to put simply thats A VERY STUPID DECISION!!!
