it would be nice if no2chem can tweak this wm5 rom up too. i'm sure he's gotta be kinda bored with 6.1 and wouldn't mind a new project to mess around with.

I asked him to come look at it but think my post got ignored. i tried theedon's .nbh first but there were a few things in it that i don't use, so i created my own using the kitchen.

I agree... I wish someone like no2chem would spend a few days refining this rom too.... I'm really not a kitchen guru. I can do a pretty good job of customizing my peronsal rom but I don't really know the inner working well enough to optomize the rom... no2chem could probably get back 2-4 Megs of memeory... pusing this rom up to ~30 MB free... I think that would be the ultimate rom....

A little more memory will always be welcome. Come on No2chem...

I flashed the new Sprint Radio onto the phone and then upgraded back to WM6 with the Kaos Rom (based on a stable No2chem 5067). Booted nicely to 25 megs of memory, but did not seem to run fast with a 6 meg pagepool, in comparison to Sampsoms WM5 (with BT, GPS). I tried an 8 meg pagepool, but lost all the memory that I started with. No improvement over the WM5 Rom that I was using.

So I flashed back to this Sampson WM5 Rom and regained all the speed, better memory management (IMHO) and excellent stability. Will continue to wait and see if a decent WM6 rom appears. I am surprised that more people have not started using this Rom.
