thanks for the tip Red49er. I just checked it out and it still got the latest version of coke's unlocker.

My apologies for the possible repetition, but I'm still not entirely clear on this. I just updated to the leaked ROM the other day using the unlocker. Do I need to do ANYTHING prior to installing the official update? Or just connect my phone to my PC and run the EXE file?

Yes it does, just like the leaked ROM

If I have the "Almost OEM" ROM, should I even bother installing this? Any noticeable differences?

I'm new to WM and upgrading ROMs... my Touch has the stock ROM. I run Sprite Backup every night. After upgrading the ROM should I restore from Sprite Backup or would it be better to install everything fresh?

Also with backed up text messages... will the phone thread them? Or should I start over with those as well?

Thanks in advance for helping a noob!

I'm sure you have noticed by now but it is included. Once you flash the ROM and let customizations run it self-installs Telenav.

This is nothing like my Almost OEM 6.1 ROM. The main(and key) differences is that mine is a custom and the is a 100% official ROM shipped by the carrier. It does not include any of the extras that were in my ROM and It is a newer build.

My understanding is that nothing needs to be done. Just make Activesync is connected then run the exe. No unlocking needed. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

No. Even though the leaked ROM was leaked it was still a carrier shipped ROM. This means you would not have had to run the unlocker to begin with. since you are on Sprint.

Since this is an Official Release, you do not need to do anything special to flash this ROM. Just run the exe(as admin if you have Vista). You can even do this without unlocking if Sprint is your carrier.
