getting fed up (rant, but maybe someone can help?)

I'm on (at least) my 5th time resetting everything, but I can't even begin to remember all that I did last time, all that I did last time that I don't want to do again, what new stuff I thought might work this time...in other words, it's just plain confusing and waaay too time consuming for a device that is supposed to make my life easier. I can't keep track of all this stuff anymore, and I am a neurotic note-taker/organizer.

I'm still on 6.1 because of all the problems I've read about here re: 6.5. I'm stuck with all sorts of sprint crap that I want to delete, but what I thought would help me get rid of the NFL program (why do I need that?????? Go away already!), the DotFred task manager, is too complicated. At one point I know I used it to disable bluetooth (which I have no use for but likes to slow down my phone) but can't even manage that with the version I have now, I'm completely lost on how to do that and don't remember how I did it before.

Then there's the butt dialing, which initially was solved with PocketShield, but now it seems that Pocketshield is SO effective that I can't even answer a call anymore. I have to turn the phone off then back on again and call the person back. HUH?????? (this recent hard reset is mostly an attempt to fix this)

I really did love my TP2 at one point, but right now I'm just trying my best to hold on until the EVO comes out and hope to all heck that it solves at least some of my problems. But right now I'm trying to put my phone back together sort of how I had it this morning, but without some of the stuff that became annoyances (my battery icon disappeared and I couldn't get it back, and AmazeGPS turned out to be horrible but it wouldn't delete itself properly either). So far I've spent my entire lunchtime, and I'm still not even close to there. Digging through threads on this forum and others...and trying to distinguish 6.1 progs from 6.5...I'll spend the whole day doing this

This is waaaay too stressful. Definitely not fun anymore.

Plain and simple. Get a iphone. You are a perfect person for it. Out the box everything works and no tweaking is necessary. You will thank me. And no.. im no apple troll. I have plenty of apple trolls as friends and I have had my plain fair share of iphone usage and plain and simple. Ait works. hehehe. as much as i hate to say it... its the truth. Ipad is amazing too... i want it. But i will stick to wm 6.5 and wm 7 since i enjoy to custamize the heck out of it and all the freedom wm gives us. I once tried to beam a mp3 song to my friends iphone 3gs and his iphone would not let him accept due to the apple bt restrictions. Again.. iphone is like North Korea and Wm is like America. But looks like we arebeing sold down the river with the new upcoming wm7 if the rumors are true. God speed evryone.

not you, the poster who told you to get an iphone.....
he's posted 72 times without getting a thankyou, pretty much because he doesn't help the situation.

haha, but at least he discloses in his name that he is a troll...

I think it's fair to say that if you've had the phone a while and are willing to ask pointed questions, you've probably gotten past the "iPhone" stage.

The only time I'd suggest someone get an iPhone is when they got a TP and said "now what do I DO with it????" (although the person who talked about the glass screen did have a great point)

We all be trollin..... just than none abmit to it. blah! Again.... do us all a favor and get a shiny new iphone. You will paypal me after you experience its awesone simplicity. Im serious! Not trollin! Absolutely no. The capacity screen and full 3d accelarated engine is beautiful. Forget cooking, flashing, modding and tweaking. Cuz... after your all done doing all that. Its still a slow sluggish banana snail. But some of us like it nice and slow and have to ability to do what ever we want to it. Ofcourse.... we all do constant resets to get it to respond again but thats the fun part of wm. It gives us authority over it like a slave that needs a beating. Again.... not trollin. I remember when I got to have a iphone for a day and I felt like I was superior to everyone else. Weird! Anyways.... head over to apple and get ready for a wallet rape. cheers!Trollin....... serious business.

Don't worry, be happy

You know (and so do I :P) that you've been giving out thanks. How is everything coming so far?


*edit*

lol yeah

I'm still reading. It's not easy to figure it all out (ie. figure out which ones have which features). Bored may have a point about learning to cook a rom...just don't know that I have the time for it right now, as I wouldn't even know where to start, and from here it seems like a pretty big learning curve.

Visual kitchens make it REALLY easy to do. What I did was extract the stock verizon ROM into the kitchen. From there it is a simple menu for checking and unchecking files you do or do not want. You can see an example here:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=628948


What I do is go to a popular ROM page (MightyROM for example) and scroll to the Release notes for the ROM. In the release notes is a list of programs:

[#] AdobePDF_2_5_1_0_404840_03
[#] AdvancedNetwork_1_0_12_0
[#] aGPS_Confirmation_1_0_19213629_00
[#] Album_3_2_20122028_00
[#] AppointmentEditor_1_0_20121312_0
[#] AppServiceMsg_1_17_0_0
I just click the programs that are known to be useful by a prominent chef and sometimes uncheck the ones I know I will not use. Trial and error will lead to your perfected custom ROM.

OP, i think you would be best served with a titanium only ROM, then add mobile shell on top.
OR...
go back to sprint 6.1 turn off sense and add mobile shell. I think you would be happiest with it, then add your programs.
