Not enjoying 6.5

Bostonbboyy · #1 (**permalink**) 03-31-2010, 09:52 AM

Hi,

I upgraded to the 6.5 ROM last week or so and at first it was nice but now my phone runs like molasses and i would rather just go back to 6.1 and seeing how i do upwards of 7500 texts per month, im really not happy with how the phone freezes in the SMS screen. can someone give me laymans instructions on how to go back?

You can go here and download the sprint exe and you should be good to go.

Maybe ditch the crappy Sprint upgrade and go with a custom ROM like Energy or Mighty and your phone will not run like molasses. I am on the newest Energy ROM and the phone runs better than it ever did on 6.1

did you hard reset after going to 6.5?

I am new to this so lease excuse me but i havent a clue what Energy or Mighty is..or how to get it.. I did a soft reset, matter of fact ive done dozen of soft resets.. the interface color is nice but i like to be able to jump between programs quickly and now thats far from the case even if Opera is running and i hit the SMS button, i have to wait forever for it to come up and hope it doesnt freeze

just like custom roms, after installation you hard reset, it clears some of the bugs out. try it and see what happens.

Yeah literally there is TWO Hardreset after putting on the updated 6.5.
Once to install it.
Second time after that to clear out the obsolete files that had to go somewhere after being replaced.

Mighty & Energy are custom ROMs that members (chefs) have cooked for the ultimate/maximum customization. there are a number of custom roms you can use made specific to your device/phone (CDMA) but before you can use a cooked rom, you have to unlock your radio. you can find the thread to unlock in the CDMA TP2 upgrades section.
