THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS. FLASHING THIS ROM MAY/WILL RUIN YOUR DEVICE.

Files are available to insert to your kitchen. Use baseKit 4004. Please only use the baseKit if you know what you're doing, the use of basekit isn't supported.

Current Public Version: v0.40 alpha build 4004 OS_ONLY

Known issues: None at this time.

Features:
Most OEM customizations removed
Clean
*NEW!!!* Based on Sprint 3.16.651.0
Increased Performance
!!! GPS WORKING !!!

What's new in version 0.40:
CE OS 5.2.1622
Build 18128.0.4.4
Sprint 3.16

This is a base rom for 3.16, which is running quite smoothly at the moment. YOU WILL NEED THE NEW BOOTLOADER TO LOAD THIS ROM!. I've kept the CE OS which is apparently the same version as the one on the Polaris, and it runs quite well. I have not changed the pagepool, so you'll have to do that yourself if you want. You'll also have to install your own touch/dialer skin if desires. Some basic reghacks have been applied as well.

Be sure to also check out my new sprint minutes plugin at http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=169929

Because of a personal emergency that has come up, I will not be able to update the rom as regularly as I would like. Please post any requests in this thread and I will try to do my best to accomodate them, provided that it does not involve adding applications to the rom. IF you find out how to fix something, please post it so I can fix it in my next release.

As usual, you can find the rom on the FTP.

Nice to see you are back into ROM development. You can use Paul's dialer with the touch mod rather than the one from the Vogue. Looks pretty much identical.

EDIT: NM, I see that you did include the dialer I mentioned.

no2chem,
I love this!! Thank you!
What radio did you include with this? I ask because so many other folks complain about 2.16 and some versions not playing nice together.

There is no radio included, this is an OS only nbh.

Please don't flame me for asking, but has the D-Pad lockup problem been resolved with this rom. I'm very interested in trying it.

no clue. I actually haven't been able to reliably reproduce the d-pad lockup issue so...

EDIT: I.. reproduced it. I'll be looking into this...
EDIT2: Interesting, I can fix it by pressing the red end call button....
EDIT3: I tried replacing keybddr.dll with the one from alltel, didn't fix it... if anyone has a clue how to fix it, let me know...

I know that this is a common problem with the 2.16 Rom. Interesting.

no2chem,

i beleive the dpad issue and the lockups are both attributed to nk.exe from 2.16. Any chance of a 2.14 based XIP? I think (hope) this would fix the few remaining issues.

Thanks for this update though, anxious to try it!!

also, for a cleaner mms fix, feel free to borrow my browser.dll, which will falsely report IEMobile 6.12 in order to render sprint pages correctly with a Sprint:PPC6800 user agent string.

this rom fixes the lockups associated with 2.16? I thought I could live with it because I need my alarms to work properly but from the time I went into class this am til now (5) hours, I've reset my mogol 10-15 times, the last of which had 4 unread text messages taunting me from my locked up screen which are now lost.

does this rom lock up at all? if not im trying the wm5 rom.

Okay, I am gonna give this ROM a try. Will post results this evening.
