As far as unlocking...if you are going to install a custom ROM (or use the kitchen), its not only recommended, its required. IF you try to install a custom ROM with the stock bootloader...you will either fail or brick your phone. (Not sure as I've never actually tried it LOL

HOWEVER, by doing so, you technically void your warrantly.

Not if your clever :D

Anyways...I recommend if your using Sprint, flash the 3.03 ROM and download HHC and there's a 9 tab Plug-in that is exactly like that.....and idk how to change the left soft key, but I do know if you want it to be the Action Screen you have to download that as well

Re: best custom roms ?

Hmmm... Ok.... Keep in mind it takes about 30 minutes to Flash (install) a new rom...

" see attached photo "

also i keep hearing about unlocking the phone ? what are the advantages of doing that ? and would you recommend it ?

more imporatntly can you guys point me in the right direction to the rom in the photo i attached or can you recommend any other good ones ? i assume if i do go with another custom rom i will loose the new sprint 6.1 rom ? is that a wise choice ? sorry for all the questions but i new at this.

You can get the above look on virtually ANY rom you choose to download.
It's everything else it does and will it work with your carrier's system that is important. I suggest you use the list provided above. And READ!!

I personal think this one is the bomb!!

Re: best custom roms ?

thanks guys, i will look into unlocking the phone and flashing a custom rom today. yeah that vista rom looks very nice. its not so much i wanted a total iphone look, but the photo i posted looked pretty sweet to me.

Re: best custom roms ?

Attached is an app that will let you remap your soft keys without messing with the registry. Just unzip and copy the exe to your storage card or device. run it and it will let you switch your softkeys around in a couple seconds. Also attached is a cab for the HTC Action Screen. Hope this gets you on your way. And by the way - NexVision's Throttle Manilla ROM and SBR_L3gion's Touch Project ROM are both awesome.
