You can find it at ftp://ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Users/dharv...izon%202.0.rar

I tried a few others - even did a little cooking of my own, but he's got some drivers that you can't get anywhere else. Give it a try!

Good Luck

I second that. DHarvey's rom is GREAT. I've tried several others, including the kitchen. And while the kitchen is nice because it lets you play and try different things, it can take some time to find a good setup. DH's rom is fast, appears to be nice and stable thanks to the testing, and easy to install.

As far as VZW specific...I don't believe there is any real difference. The only thing I'm aware of that causes problems is letting the sprint customizations run. But other than that, any clean rom will run just fine on VZW, although some config might be needed for things like MMS.

I just flashed over to Dharveys verizon release this morning, and it's EXTREMELY nice. Fast but full featured. The only thing I'm not 100% happy with right now is Total Commander, I may swap it for the one that Ghettofreeryder uses. Other than that it's amazing! I get GPS locks on 4-5 sattelites in less than 10 seconds when outside, and like 20 seconds when I'm inside. It's by far the best ROM I've used so far.

Me Too! great rom. it had everything i wanted from the get go. the gps still hasn't changed from when i was using OMJ's rom. sometimes it takes forever to get locks. sometimes it just works in seconds.. but i'm used to that.

the only thing i coudln't get to work on this rom is the MMS, someone sent me a pic mail the other day, and it said downloading message, but nothing. i couldn't see anything. anyone know how to tweak the verizon MMS. or what the settings are supposed to be?

Looking for a little help:

Ok so I read through just about every post concerning flashing my 6900.

Sadly it was after I began the process....my fault.

Here is where I am at and looking for support.

Phone calls work, text, mms, gps and the OS are all are stable.

I am not able to connect to the EVDO network. 1X is connecting fine.

I called and generated an A-key and was able to type it into the EPST menu. What I am looking for are the actual data settings for the EPST menu.

Unless you guys know that there is no hope for accessing the EVDO network.

I started with the Sprint rom . I did let customs run half way then reset. Had roaming and data issues. Eventually flashed back the unlocker and lower sprint rom. Then reflashed using the proper steps to the current roms. Everything else works but I thing I screwed my radio. EVDO is trying to access Vision services (Sprint Data) instead of Verizon.


Is this a settings issue, or did I screw my radio forever? I don't mind using 1x. I just hope that the Verizon ROM comes out very soon.
