Verizon 6900 roms and uniquely useful programs

[buddhatikkigod]

Hey guys ive been flashing a few times here my 6900 with BuildOS cooked roms, im very thankful for al the support, the money paid is definetly the best value ive gotten.

Anyways im wondering where the VZW 6900 users are. Im not really a VZW Fan boy... i dont like them that much but i have their service. Are their any new roms made specifically for the Verizon model?

Does the Verizon model have any physical differences between the Sprint model phones? Ive heard their slightly smaller so installing the white plastics from the VZW/Alltel model onto the Sprint model is made harder and is not just a straight swap. Which kinda sucks for me as i have a Sprint 6900 i swapped my 6700's esn onto to get working on the VZW network, i wanted to buy one of the many dummy phones cheaply available and swap the plastics onto my Sprint model. Oh well.

But this is also why i want a truly VZW specific rom so, i would feel more officially on the Verizon network and maybe it would help my phone a little in running on the VZW network.

I am using Old_Man_Jenkins OMJ.3.03.04.Generic.Custom with my VZW 6900 and all is well. Until VZW ships a 5.1 ROM upgrade you will still some dialogs with 'Sprint' in the message; like when installing a new Java app.

Hope this helps.

Yeah? Call me chicken, but I'm a little scared to flash my ROM with anything that isn't meant for Verizon. If you tell me the GPS works I may just do it this weekend, though. So, does it? What are the other benefits?

I dont get the customization screen on any build os cooked roms though, i select the verizon carrier but it doesnt come up after the install or a hard reset, is this normal?

I upgraded using the update HTC released for Sprint on Monday. I then flashed the rom with Ghettoryderslatest rom , which is pretty awesome. I had to call and 're-authorize' the phone, which took about a minute. So far I have had no issues, everything is running extremely smoothly, and I'm able to get a GPS lock in less than 20 seconds. *The first gps lock was not that quick, but since that first one it has been extremely speedy.

Equis,
I have VZW as well and while i was afraid of flashing to begin with i did it anyway. I am currently running OMJs custom updated 7-23 as well and my GPS works very well. I just reflashed the new Sprint rom (( AND MADE SURE NOT TO LET IT CUSTOMIZE!!!!)) and then flashed OMJ's.

The Pros of this Rom are the GPS works well and the rom is clean for the most part. Meaning i do not have a bunch of apps that i never use.

The Cons are i dont like the menu he uses, but he does provide a way to enable the regular start menu with reg edit i believe.

Here is the link to his rom!

Hope this all helps!

DHarvey has a Black Vista ROM that has a version specifically for Verizon. I've been using his ROM's (and doing a little beta testing for VZW specifics) for a while. It's fast, loaded, and a lot of fun.
You can find it at ftp://ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Users/dharv...izon%202.0.rar

The discussion thread is at http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=31081.

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

Does anyone have any experience with getting a Sprint 6900 running on Verizon?
