New "Official" Sprint ROM (3.49, radio 3.39.10)

[InvincibleLiving]

yeah, i'm only going to be using this rom to capture the latest radio... i'm using no2chem's build 5065 right now and after i flash the rom i'm flashing right back to 5065 with radio 3.39 in tow.

GPS works a lot better on this ROM. Ive had it installed very several days now. GPS picks up sat within 30 seconds with GPSToday.

I will give a word of warning. I did have huge issues at first. I had to flash my phone about 6 or 7 times to try and remove all the bugs. From what i can guess is that when i flashed the first time the new radio drivers were a little buggy or didnt install properly and was not able to connect to any cell towers.

Additionally i dont see any diffrent changes from rev a speed increases. Battery does seem ot drain a lot faster with the rom. Maybe something has changed and something is running elsewise i dont know about.

Please see my signature to see my current phone configuration.

O and for the sake of this thread, i think ima wait til june 1st... im on my 3rd mogul... bricked once and manufacturer defect once... no chances here lol

or... you can do it for free using Orb.. www.orb.com slingbox is nice.. but.. I havent seen any diference between that.. and orb..

installing the rom now.. mostly for the radio.... Ill post my thoughts after a bit.

Provided you already have a TV tuner in your PC. Otherwise you're still going to have to shell out for some additional hardware.

How patient are you? is the main question.. So far having my own account and reading others more then likely your going ot have initial problems with installing the new rom. If you are not a total geek or dont have any tech background i would NOT suggest it.

It is a faster rom, more free memory to work with . Other than Sprintv not working, and having to install a old, old version of HTC home, it is worth it. The old winmo 5 version of HTC home is not worth installing imo. It only works using the touch screen, the jog wheel doesn't work with it. Also, you cannot customize it in the Today settings. So other than the loss of those two pieces of software, the rom seem to be an improvement.

Looks like I'm going to wait for the Official "Official" ROM to come out.

Flashed this morning and so far I am impressed. As stated device is definitly working faster which is nice. Internet does look to be quicker than before. But for me it seems more stable. Mine prior on the official release kept dropping into 1X even in a great coverage area. So well see how it goes.
