I just thought I would offer input as a new person to the ppc world.

Forums are for spreading knowledge. That is the purpose of them. It is very rude for someone to be arrogant and instantly criticize someone because they asked a question that you already know the answer to....

I totally understand that a lot of questions can be answered by simply reading stickies, past threads, search, etc. However, this is a thread about something completely brand new for the 6800 that has not been released before. A lot of the "newbies" have very simple questions about this brand new unlocker for the 6800... what is it good for? what does it do? etc.

It is sad that the "holier than thou" syndrome persists even when there is a topic about something just released that beginners have never heard of nor know anything about. I am extremely excited about the potential for this unlocker because it seems to have potential. However, I dont know what it does...

Once again, many thanks to the developers. There has been A TON of great stuff I have read/downloaded/installed/tweaked on my 6800 because of developers on here and other ppc forums (led killer, x button, htc home, esmertec jbed, opera mini, etc.). Trust me, I use the search tool a lot and definitely do my research before installing anything on the mogul. However, this unlocker is totally new and I have no clue what its great potential is really capable of.

it firstly prevents you from bricking your phone from a bad flash.

it secondly allows you to flash any ROM to the device, including custom ROMs; without a patched SPL, you can't flash anything except HTC updates for your brand.

That sounds pretty cool.

Here are some questions I have about the potential of patching the spl, allowing custom roms:

1) How much improvement do you estimate being able to install custom roms will create versus the stock rom? Like a percentage of sorts- improvement in performance could be over 50% . If you know what I mean. I know that the answer all depends on the actual custom rom you install as well as many other variables. I am just curious as to the potential of custom roms basically....

2) Olipro- you seem to be very knowledgeable obviously. Do you plan on creating custom roms for the 6800? I have seen you created roms for the hermes....

Thanks,
Ryan

I would think that once the custom rom's get going, their will be rom's optimized for performance. I know on my old 6700 most of the custom rom's ran significantly better than the stock rom. Some of the reasons they run better are because all of the new AKU releases are incorporated into the custom rom's. Htc or sprint won't update the device enough to include all of those. For example on the 6700, I think the latest AKU release directly from sprint was 2.2 iirc. Custom rom's go up to AKU 3.5. That in and of itself makes the device run better.

I haven't noticed a performance increase with the alltel rom. The reason isriam and I (and a few others) switched roms is because Alltel has "real" picture messaging. We use our phone's on cricket, and couldn't receive pics with the sprint rom.
