This has always been fully customizable. Check System Settings, Task Manager and adjust it there. It defaults to closing only if you tap and hold, but you can switch it.

after a couple hard resets, ive got it runnin pretty top notch, telenav is good, although id still like to find a better free"ish" software solution...

its pretty buggy no doubt about it, it is afterall a test release...but its lookin better then 2.17 in my eyes, rev a and gps alone make up for its other short commings...

my battery just died on me cause i couldnt put the damn thing down...

No RevA in this area but I already knew that. GPS works okay even putting the phone by the window works. It picks up 4 or 5 satellites and is only one road off on Google maps and the Sprint navigation program.

ARGGHHHHH!!! EVDO roaming has been removed! When I force roaming I only get 1X. If I flash back to 2.17 I get EVDO roaming back. The dumbest thing is we get EVDO here from Alltel on Sprint service and roaming, wonder why they removed this. I need this option for work so I can browse and watch the Slingbox since we don't get any Sprint signal in the building. Oh well... The GPS is cute but at the cost of no EVDO at work! OUCH! 2.17 here I come....

I have a question... My bro is trying to install this ROM, but keeps getting the 260 connection error. He says he has a SPL-1.07.0000 bootloader. Could this be something to look into? Could the 1.07 bootloader be the source of most peeps install woes? Could this ROM only work with the 1.06? Just a quiestion to think about, since I know nearly nothing about the inner programings of these things...

If that's happening you need to extract it still. I noticed that at first, but if you've got winrar on your computer, right-click on the exe file and choose extract, and it will extract the *real* exe into a folder of the same name as the original file.

THAT file is the executable that you run to install this rom update.

I was having the same problem.. i ended up rebooting my computer, trying it a few more times and in installed part of it. If you are running vista you have to update a WMDC driver. Look in the Sticky thread about getting stuck in the bootloader and follow the instructions for the vista RUU update ability. If you are running XP, continue running the app until it works i guess.. im running vista so thats what I did.

Are most of you skipping the Extended_ROM stuff? I'm wondering if something in there needs to be run for GPS to work.

Also, what about IOTA_1128.CAB?

As near as i could tell (from following this thread all day) it seems like it's a good idea to let it install all the junk, do a hard reset, let it install all the junk, and then after that, if you want, you can hard-reset again and then skip the sprint customizations.

It's probably not necessary but that was the drift I was catching.
