Meh i tend to disagree .. not many apps work right or at all without crashing , the device is just way too slow even after the supercharger script . like the op said , fun to play with but not to use every day , i think that nails it . just when you recieve a call , the slider to answer lags across the screen . very slow . not blaming dev's blaming HTC for not puting a 1GhZ Processor in it . shame on them !!!

But to the OP , it all depends what you like . If you want your phone to look sexy and not multitask very well , then ANY sense rom is for you . if you plan to install a different GUI then choose a barebones ROM . its really hard for us to give recommendations because each person has different necessaties . Just flash and try each ROM , thats what i did And dont worry about the moisture sensor , look under the battery for a white square if that isnt tripped then you are good . if one is there at all . my first phone had the moisture sensor tripped cause a SINGLE drop of rain landed on it when i took the cover off to reset the device . but NO water got in the device itself , so the same may be for your case . But , you never know so best of luck

Honestly, I don't even use FRX07, I use a CWM (neofroyo) build that's very usable daily. I just remember having little problems with FRX07.

argh! ok so fedex is cool, it was scheduled to be here tomorrow, but with a couple clicks i had the packaged redirected to a nearby fedex office. the estimated delivery then changed to today! yip!

it was on the truck for delivery at 7am, and still no word (theyre open till 11, so i have lots of time yet)



the suspense is KILLING me now! i was fine at work today, until i came home and saw they changed the delivery day to today. now im waiting, smoking cigs and just thinking about my toilet phone sitting on some truck while some idiot farts his mcdonalds out during a break. ugh!

thanks guys for the input! a couple things, (because i WANT you guys to know what ill be using this for, so i dont have to go through countless roms to find one i like. i did that with the treo pro...)

i do like the sense stuff. BUT, if you guys sit here right now and tell me it will make my phone a lot slower then fuck it. what im most excited about this phone is the web browsing and the speaker quality. neither have much to do with the roms.

it_must_be_stable. i cannot stress how tired i am of phone problems. yes, i want flashy and cool, but i cant sacrifice reliability. speed really isnt much concern either, as i normally do not multitask on my phone. at worst, i am listening to an internet radio station while i text or something. to give you an idea, i never had problems with my treo pro's speed. it never really occurred to me that i cant run so and so apps at the same time... whatever i needed to do on my phone i have always just done it and that was it. its not my laptop!

i already downloaded the original energy rom (latest build). it looks really nice, so i think ill start there. i cant imagine i will stay with the sprint rom... im a techie guy so i would feel weird with a stock rom (but again, if it means i might miss calls or texts if i use custom roms, then fuck that!).

so i think its clear, NO ANDROID. and thats fine. i have a few paid-for winmo apps anyway that id like to keep.

thanks again guys! im pretty much bouncing off the walls... i havent had a working phone in over 2 weeks now....
