How to upgrade an xv6800 with the new Sprint ROM

[BrandonXV6800]

Yea,
Its not even like its a big deal. Service is good. Gps good. its just wierd to have Sprint stuff in my phone. Nice to know others had the same experience. im just glad it worked . Do you have a battery meter showing on your today screen? Or a running apps function? I ventured into the Nue Rom thread and it's like 300 pages. Hard to find anything.
Thanks,
Brandon

Edit: Found the running apps function. DUh!

well i completed the rom upgrade, but am having trouble connecting to any satelites using both google maps and live search. i tried the gpsviewer1.5, but it says not a compatable app when i try and run it. any help?

Check the GPS thread in the forum one level above this one. It's stickied. Depending on the ROM you installed, GPS is usually enabled out of the box.

Just another confirmation;
Bootloader 2.4,
the Sprint Rom & reset before custumizations,
Then DCDs Verizon Rom.

Everything's OK so far. Calls are comeing in fine without any Akey BS.
GPS locks on (TomTom) in about 20 seconds.

Brandon, no battery...no 'running apps' thingy (I don't even know what that is!)

Hmmm...I just copied my registry to my PC and plodded around it with notepad. Very scary. Lots of sprint references- not just the text references, but hardcoded URLs for things that seem like IOTA config files, network IDS, etc. I wish I hadn't looked.

There was a thread about a month ago asking about a no2chem VZ version:

Maybe it's time to look at one of the vz-built ROMs....or maybe I'm just being too paranoid.... ....or maybe I need to learn to cook....

DCD's Verizon rom has no Sprint "taint".
Data and messaging are perfect.
It's definately the way to go if you want no-frills yet with all the essentials (without cooking your own.)

I actually tried to run DCD's Kitchen first, but has a lot of trouble. I don’t know why. I was in the boot loader and tried to run the ROM according to directions in his word doc. I kept on getting errors saying that I was missing parts of the program. I ran Nue's and it loaded perfectly. I guess I probably could have done the same thing with DCD's Rom by itself, Without the kitchen.

I really don’t have a problem with all of the Sprint stuff in the Nue rom. It connects and that all I care about.

Do the GSM peeps have these carrier issues?

hello all i am also using the sprint update with DCD's kitchen. I seem to be having a problem receiving MMS messages. Has anyone else ran into this? not getting any pictures or anything? I appologize if this has been answered but i have had no problems before I did this update? Any help would be appreciated.
