So I just update my ROM and WM 6.1 looks and runs great. My only question is does the HTC Home plugin still works? cause when I loaded it, my phone would freeze after it loaded. The website also claims that it adds Sprint Tv, if this is true when is it on my phone?

There is a link in the programs folder to download the cab for Sprint TV. Check that you have the most recent version of HTC Home.

I have run into no compatibility issues with any of the apps I use (I'll list them below), and I'm still hovering at the 10-15MB of RAM free.

On the other hand, under 3.35, I was able to take my phone off the charger at 7:20am every morning on my way out the door to work and put it back on the charger around 11:00pm as I went to bed. Doing this I would drop to approximately 60% battery life.

Since updating to 3.56, I am like many others having a faster battery drain. Specifically, today I took it off the charger at 10:00am and it's 9:00pm but I'm down to 42%. I am using an identical setup including the same registry tweaks and program installs, and usage is about the same as any other day (ie. a few 5 minute calls, a handful of web pages and text messages, and email syncs set at 60 minutes).

That said, I would prefer to have better battery life, so if it doesn't miraculously improve over the next couple days or unless HTC releases a slightly newer build tomorrow, I'll be reverting back to 3.35.

Incidentally, here's the list of apps installed that I can confirm are working as expected:

acbToggleBT

Google Maps

HTC Comm Manager (6-button, updated based on 3.56 files)

HTC Touch Dialer

Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.5

no2chem Battery.dll, nueAudio, nueExtRom, and nueFonts

Palringo

PCM Keyboard .14

PHM RegEdit

Remote Desktop 6.1

S2U2 1.05

SipChange

SKTools

sMMS

Spb Mobile Shell 2.1, Phone Suite 1.3, and Pocket Plus 4.0.2

Spb Watcher

Sprint TV

Windows Live Mobile

Windows Live Search

YouTube Player

Where can I get this YouTube Player? I would much appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction.

First flash failed on running PPST.exe because Tomtom's installer on my MicroSD card attempted to run at the same time. I strongly advise removing your microSD card before flashing. Something that just slipped my mind as I ran it.

So go figure, today the battery performance was exactly as I expected it to be. So I got to thinking about it some this evening... I think it has to do with the fact that the Pittsburgh area has really lousy Sprint coverage and since I hadn't yet done the registry tweaks to enable roaming, I was still on Automatic. Since the phone was staying in Sprint EVDO mode with low coverage, it was probably trying to sync up all my mail accounts unsuccessfully and just kept trying on my drive home to Youngstown (coverage here is great in most areas, btw).

Anyway, I'll continue to post updates for my own situation as needed, but I don't see any reason for people to avoid upgrading. This is definitely the best ROM update and will hopefully tide me over until the release of the Touch Pro.

I deleted the old HTC home plugin and used the HTC customizer to download the latest version. It's been working great now.

my phone cannot power off now... anyone else with this problem?

Oh, and I cannot change the backlight brightness. This is all very strange.

Well I have to say I'm a noob to the forum but in all respects this ROM has been good to me. No significant memory leaks and overall works well. GPS and Sprint Navigation work well. I have no use for Sprint TV but hey then personal preferences are exactly that. It seems to play nice with SBP Plus, Total Commander and Pocket Mechanic Pro (these are the only 3rd party apps I need.) It took a while to do the UG, hung at 11% but left alone for a while it installed.

Advice, for what it's worth...

1. Before attempting the UG hard reset your 6800 to a stock ROM

2. Run the UG

3. After the UG let the PPC boot and allow the Sprint Customizations to run

4 Do a Hard Reboot after the PPC has re-loaded and at this point you can chose to install the Sprint stuff or not (soft reset before they run.)

5. Enjoy!

Hope this helped!

PS The Hard Reset after the UG load and Sprint Customizations resolved many problems for me, hope it does the same for you!
