OMG! Bought 3 TP2s: Did I screw up?

The Rhodium is not really an IFR phone.
It looks like you might be in a bit of a stall here.
As with any stall you know the solution,
Deep Breath, Forward on the stick, and trust none of your instincts.
Take it one step at a time and you'll be fine.
You have made the right choice.

Thanks, all. I've decided to go with Leadpoizon's ROM. I'm searching for the Hardspl and Radio for the Sprint TP2. Probably right here somewhere......

Here's a link to the HSPL. Look in the upgrades section of the forum, you'll also find the thread for radios, you can use any cdma radio, some may be better some may not, it's trial and error but I've had the best luck with the latest Sprint radio IMO, but it's also based on your location. Only use the CDMA radio's for TP2 and they flash the same way as a ROM. Good luck!

Use the Lite one.

WM rquires a learning curvem there's no two ways about it. The downside is that you are going to be investing time and enery (and a lot of frustraiton) on a dead platform. You can get the phone working really well of you put the time in, but only you can decide if it's worth it.

Buying a WM phone is like buying a good Tube TV today. It wil still work, and you can get it to do what you need, but the world has moved to flatscreens

So, I disabled WM6.5 Start menu altogether (that alone cleaned up some 15 MB of RAM), replaced it with QuickMenu, reverted back to Sense but installed CHT2.0 on top of it, and it's been running like a champ ever since.

Amamba, I'd like to try this. I searched quite a bit and I can't find guidance on disabling WM6.5- Maybe I'm not using the correct search parameters, I dunno. Can you point me in the right direction? TIA_

I never really like WM6.5 on my TP2, I just wanted something which was closer to the look of windows on my computer and the nearest experience was to use WM6.1 and to make modifications to the registry(cook a custom rom) and make it look like the original one. Wm6.1 is my preference here since I use it a lot texting-WM6.5 is a pain when typing/editing emails.

I guess I'm not sure how you disable it, and to be honest I still use it sometimes, but I also use Quickmenu 2.8.
I have it set to launch quickmenu with the windows key, but a long press will bring up the default menu. (using the rhodium keyboard config)
