so ive been out of the loop..
 

for a bit. and apparently their was an update back in march that i never got, but now that i have it do i still need to install any of these home brew os's? i never had one before i just had the "clean up patch" thats stickied on the front page. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=88640

also i heard that you can run android on the tp2 so im gonna look into that. but what do you guys think about running that vs. one of the normal roms?

Re: so ive been out of the loop..
 

Stock Sprint rom update was junk. Try mighty rom or Vin rom IMO.

Re: so ive been out of the loop..
 

you can actually put the Android dual boot port over your current Stock ROM, it is not built into the OS it runs off your SD card.

You can try the sense 2.5 Stock upgrade first and see if you like it, and if you see something you don't like or want to tether or something you can try some cooked ROMs in the TP2 CDMA upgrades. There are tons of awesome CDMA cooks here.

It's a matter of opinion... I run the stock Sprint Rom and I have no problems... I had the power button issue and got my phone replaced through sprint... Now flawless.

well i want to dive into the world of roms and heard good things about mighty rom but honestly i dont even know hwere to start to find out which is right for me

Re: so ive been out of the loop..
 

Really the only way to find out what one you like is to start trying them. best thing I would suggest is take a day during the weekend and just start flashing away. I would spend at least a hour with a ROM going through things and see if its something you like. but take this warning, flashing is additive and you will find your self flashing pretty often.

Re: so ive been out of the loop..
 

what do i look for in the flashes?
are they mainly based on eye candy or actualy speed tweaks? i wish someone would post a excel sheet lol comparing all the diff roms against each other

Re: so ive been out of the loop..
 

I like the ROM called Sprint Lovers ROM

Re: so ive been out of the loop..
 

Most of the Cooks give a pretty good breakdown of there ROM's in the first few post's. its just going to be trial and error to find the one you really like and a TON of reading. there is really no other way.
