OMJ's 3.03, 3.09, M2D WM6.1 Custom Touch ROMs w/ User Customization! Updated 9/26/08

[mptoledo]

Hey guys and gals, need a quick refresher. I have the old altell rom. Do I need to reflash the original sprint rom in order to upgrade to the new sprint rom. I am pretty sure the answer will be yes.

If so can someone be nice enough to supply a link to the site on how to?

I think a Diamond thing would be great, but only if it is done in a way that the users can customize what programs appear where, and can add their own programs, etc., not one that comes with preset options that can't be modifyed.

The answer is no.

If you are talking about loading the official GPS/Rev.A/WM6.1 (*.4_2) ROM, then you don't need to do anything but load that new ROM.

I've used the SPB theme, the Wisbar theme, and I'm now using Next's Throttle ROM. The Wisbar was brutal. I know a lot people seem to like and not to take anything away from the great work JDume did, but for me it was so slow and laggy that I found it unusable.

For a while I was using your custom ROM with Greatball's SPB theme. That was probably the least buggy Diamond interface, but it really is just a the Mobile Shell inteface (again not to take anything away from the great work that went into it) and definitly has that feel to it.

Finally, I've been using Next's ROM for about a week now. It is by far the best Diamond like inteface, but seems to be somewhat buggy. I think it's more an issue with Throttle Launcher than anything else at this point.

hey thanks for the reply. I am not sure what altell mod I loaded and not sure wich sprint mod to load. I may not have been clear in my question. I have a "sprint" touch and I modded the altell rom on it a few months back. It works fine with gps and everything, but it has the ugly blue altell screen and keeps saying "connecting to Altell" when I connect to the internet. I want to mod it to the new sprint(or a good hacked)version.
1.) do I need to revert back to the original sprint mod before i upgrade?
2.) what new sprint mod(link please) would you suggest?

Again thanks for the help, as it has been awhile and I lost all the links I had saved.

I also saw somes Diamond themes here on the forums, but I'm wondering which performs best....I've seen one based on Wisebar Advance, one based on Ultimate Launcher, and a SPB version.

Anyone try either of these?

Have not tried these, but they look cool. Was going to try them for the look, but read they run kind of laggy so staid away.

The best I've seen yet is musicflo. It is not a skin or customization or cube hack, but a standalone program that runs ontop. the clock could be prettier (some like it), but the customization, speed, low resource use, is all right on. Highly recommend it to everyone.

OMJ I have to say your rom is awesome yet again!

I have run into one issue however. My work just recently went to exchange and in order to get to exchange I have to use VPN. Now, when my phone activesyncs, it freezes when the backlight goes off (or maybe just freezes) randomly when connecting the VPN. The only way out of it is to soft-reset.

Has anyone else experienced this? The LED that it is connected to for the phone is flashing, but I'm not able to do anything with the phone.

I just did a clean install of the sprint OEM rom, then installed your custom Sprint ROM. Any ideas? This was also happening with your leaked rom, but I had figured maybe I had messed with a setting for the VPN sleep or something that screwed it up. I thought that the reinstall would have fixed it but it is not the case. It seems if I configure it to manually sync instead of as they're pushed, it doesn't freeze except for randomly when I need to sync.

Thanks so much again!

as scrap said, no, you don't need to load the original sprint rom, just flash the new official....follows the steps from post #1.

I'm testing Greatball's SPB theme now....it's not too bad, pretty stable, but I'm looking for something that's closer to the actual diamond look.....may try Throttle next....thx for the info.

I thought MusicFlo was a cube based diamond theme.
