Thanks for the clean version OMJ, I love it.

Is there anyway you could make an Alltel cube cab like you did for Verizon?

have u flashed the official sprint rom?

Maybe it's just me but after flashing to the Official Rom then to the OMJ Generic Custom Rom I had a hard time getting IOTA to run when I'm still connected to active sync. I did a Soft Reset and that didn't help, but once I disconnected from Active Sync I was able to run IOTA successfully.

Can someone verify this?

Kept bluetooth off yesterday. I soft reset after using GPS just in case. I did not use GPS yesterday, unplugged 6:30 am, worked all day and barely talked on the phone (less than 5 min talk time), surfed the web for about 35 min, and my email autochecks once every hour. When I got home at 6pm, I was at about 25%. I did not use my vogue much stock (in fact, I flashed the night I got it) so I don't have much to compare it to, but this seems like really poor battery life for minimal use to me. For those of you that have used either the stock shipped rom for any length of time, or the new "official" release leaked rom, is the battery life significantly better?

And a question for OMJ, any clues as to what is causing the drain? Any settings that can be fiddled with?

Loving the speed and customizations, but being that I am on call overnight a few times a month, I need my phone to last AT LEAST 40 hrs with minimal to average use, which is not going to happen right now.

82% right now.... Very impressed. 10 hours of light use and only 17% reduction. =D>

Now that's what I need, but I have no idea what the diff is between your setup and mine. Are you using AEBPlus for button mapping? That is one thing I'm wondering may be draining my battery, as I am wondering if it is running in the background. Will turn that off tomorrow, see if that makes a difference. Thing is, i'm kinda addicted to AEBPlus, don't know if I could live without it anyways . . .

Any more info you can provide on your setup, e_town?

I also configure nueLED to disable all LED's except the charge LED.

yeah, they don't have their own folders, they are mixed into OEMAPPS. When you're trying to remove an unwanted app, the best way to learn what files to delete, is to find an OEM version of that app, ie...from the PPCGeeks Kitchen. See what files are in that OEM that make up the app, then find & delete those files from your kitchen. You'll also need to look at the .rgu in that OEM to see what code it's inserting, then go into the .rgu in OEMAPPS in your kitchen & either delete that code or rem it out.

I installed the Alltel PPST but it won't run out of Windows... Am I doing something wrong?

Anybody else had problems with apps closing apparently on their own? At first I thought I just hit a wrong button, but it's happened enough now that I think they are just closing on their own (or "crashing"?). PIE, Total Commander, etc.

Note concerning an earlier reply: After using it today and yesterday at work, I've decided there is no battery drain problem for me. I plugged it in as little as possible today, played on the internet a bit while at lunch and during a meeting, used google maps once just to show a guy how the GPS works, made a dozen texts and maybe a dozen calls. Unplugged it this morning at 7:30, right now it's 6:45 and battery is at 76%.

It saids
Dialed #777
Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and ...blah blah blah

Data works just find if i leave it on automatic. Can you guys try this and see if it is only me with the problems?

The phone is a little sluggish in this V2 rom. But never the less a great rom. Also the full qwerty keyboard does not display properly. It has white letters on a light gray background on the key entry area and also it does not display caps lock or the button that brings you to numbers.
Can you include a cooler calculator in the next update OMJ?

Many Thanks.

I'm having the same problem anytime I switch to Roaming only. I lose my data connection. Other than that nice ROM

Nice tip, thanks OMJ.

update on battery life:

Today I started from clean charge, turned off all of the following:
-Email autochecking
-weather auto update
-location
-time synchronization
-AEBPlus (don't think this makes a difference)
-bluetooth

I kept data connection on so that I could easily manually check my email and surf the web. With light use today from 6:30am to 9:30pm I have 43% battery life remaining (45-1hr talk time, 20 minutes of internet, checked email 7-8 times, and like 6 text messages). After talking on the phone for 45min using bluetooth, I'm down to 47%. Not too shabby for a stock battery.

I don't think AEBPlus really has any effect on the battery, going to reinstate that tomorrow and see how it goes. Just turned off all my LEDs.

What page pool size are you running? Lower down to the standard 12MB and most likely the issue will go away. I had the same problem when I tried the recommended 24MB page pool. Many apps would just spontaneously close. At 12MB page pool no more problems. By the way the rom is set to 16MB page pool if you didn't adjust it. The standard page pool for the touch is 12MB (stock rom).
