I really do not care if it is butt ugly, I just want a ROM that works with the phone's features:
examples that I can think of:
USB -- able to connect to PC as a usb drive
WiMax -- able to connect to the Sprint WiMax network. That is why I bought the phone in the first place.
3G data -- it is so slow that if it doesn't work I really dont care
built in keyboard -- if that doesnt work what is the point of having this phone?
bluetooth -- I have an A2DP headset that I want to be able to use for music & phone calls
i need it to work with the GPS / Navigation software
i would like to search and get apps from the Market
So far I have tried the following and they do not meet that bar:
Evervolv nightly 10-26-13
Evervolv release 3.2.0.p1
CM 7.2.0
This phone has been out forever, can anyone point me to a ROM that does this?
Try newSENSE or SupremeSense XII

yeah, for that kind of stability those are your best bets. i still use newSENSE and newRUNNY on mine.
And for future reference, questions go in Q&A

I have been working with SupremeSense XII for the past few days:
Somewhere in the rooting process, my data profile settings got messed up, but the ROM let me update my data profile and that is all taken care of.
So far, I can report that Wifi works as expected. So does 3G.
I have not had the chance to test the WiMax yet, because even though I am in the "best" coverage area I get zero bars of signal in my apartment.
(Added the folloiwng 10/31/13) Last night I was able to connect, get an ip and open a webpage on WiMax while I was at work. Outside here at home the signal says poor??? I walked all around the building, and it never changed. (end of new info)
I was able to pair with my old phone using bluetooth and transfer over all of my contacts. I haven't had a chance yet to use my headset.
Although the Supreme Sense ROM has an option to take screen shots by pressing the power button and home button simultaneously, I am not coordinated enough to do it. aScreenshot seems to be working fine for that.
I was able to get a voicemail widget on the main screen but it does not seem to show if I have any messages waiting.
I was able to put a missed call counter on the main screen, but I have not missed any calls yet to see if it works, lol.
I have a gmail counter on the home screen and the unread message counter works great.
SMS Unread Count installs but it crashes when I try to put it on the home page.
I like to have a different ringtone for any calls that come in that are not in my contact list. I was able to easily accomplish this using Group Ringtone Lite.
I have the phone underclocked using SetCPU.
WiFi Ruler and WiFi Power saver work like a charm.
So, thank you very much for the advice! The only thing I have thrown at this so far that doesn't work is SMS Unread Count!

1) Incoming texts seem to come in stuck to my phone numbers time zone... which is EST, I currently reside in PST. (I've tried to reset this a couple ways...nothin seems to stick).
2) Going to the Settings tab and hitting "Other Misc. settings" Locks up the phone completely. Every time. Have to take the batt cover off and use the reset button (power button doesn't work).
3) While I know landscape mode is buggy, it does work fine in text messages, but doesn't auto-rotate to landscape. So when you go to send a text message you have to be in portrait mode, THEN open the keyboard for it to switch to landscape. (if you've got the keyboard open when you go to send a text, it will remain in portrait mode with the keyboard open).
4) Can't seem to send MMS. Haven't tried receiving. There's a fix supposedly, I have installed the .cab, doesn't seem to be working though.
Will keep posting as I notice more. I'm running the stable build (21864 i think).
how do u activate on sprint...
i cannot get the MSL menu to pop up?????
my phone will not activate tehy are telling me to take into a repair center when i knw i need to get into the MSL menu (but i cannot!!!!)
is there a special code or a special way to do that? or do i need to flash to regular rom.. activate, then flash back?? wtf???
also the settings thing does lock up );
21864 is actually the stable version, so try installing that. I have not gotten my TP2 so I can't test it yet.
Woops. That's the one I'm running. I dunno why I said that other number.
your phone has to be programmed b4 you unlock the security..meaning you have to install factory sprint rom in order for msl to work.....
my last post was for ambush276
Just my $.02, but my experience with energy was not that wonderful, Lots of freeze ups and laggyness. MROM is working with great stability and better battery life than my stock verizon which was very good on battery. I'll be stickin' with it for awhile , although I'm not that amazed by 6.5 anyway. May end up going back to 6.1, much prefer that start menu
I ran a bunch of roms since the unlocker. I was left with 2 Mighty and Energy. I have been running energy all day. All problems except MMS have been resolved at this point and I am very happy with it so far. Tomarrow I am going to run Mighty but from what I saw on PPC it has some issues.
hey if anyone screws off thier prl flashing etc, the sprint touch pro 2 prl is the evdo, triangle roaming to get back to *2 calling sprint rather than say metropcs - took for ever, tried the 21xxx series, it was h e double hockey sticks
EnergyROM_21864... with Dark_Theme_V5.1_WM_6.5_Custom_rom__New_2.1_TF3D... all is working great for me...

im on MighteyMikes and I have to say it is running great. Real Nice and smooth on my Sprint Touch Pro 2. I just which NFSFAN makes the jump over here since I love his roms. I think he makes the best roms for cdma period.

I'm running his ROM on my Verizon Touch Pro 2 as well and I agree with you on all of that!
In the new OTA leaked ROM base, v3.28.651.6, this seems to be happening to many people, including myself.
<DC CONNECT> IO error: msg='/127.0.01:7771 - Connection refused
This happens after turing 4G on and then turning it off. You can see this error in logcat. and it repeats endlessly!
Does anyone know why or have a solution to this?
It has also been reported HERE.
4G works fine, it doesn't break 4G, it's just some stupid looping error.
its not just the new rom, it happened on 2.1 and 2.2 ota's.
It has been concluded that this is normal behavior, since the early builds. Apparently, that's how wimax works on the evo

That's pretty lame coding on HTC's part then. Why have something that is turned of try to reconnect infinitely to something. That has to waste resources.
It happened to me yesterday but when I rebooted I could connect and stay on 4g. Weird.
In regards to the effect of this on battery life

9pm - 4g Turned on, then off.
9-~12: screen always on, multiple reboots (4g turned on/off after each reboot)
~12pm - screen off the rest of the night (while in the error state)
The results to me look like any other day under the same usage conditions. To me, at most this is an annoyance when trying to logcat for something unrelated, but doesn't seem to affect battery like people have been posting in multiple forums.

I agree, I am at work for 14 hours a day and I come home with 35-40% battery left. Prior to this new leaked OTA ROM base, I came home with 5-10%. I use the same phone the same way, so regardless of this weird arror, battery life is still good.
Like the guy in the post that you linked to on the Sprint forum says, seems to go away if you Turn off 4G and then completely power down (Hold power button, and choose Power Off). A reboot doesn't fix it, has to be complete power down.
Agreed, it's a silly leftover, I usually just use some sort of a tail-like application, and just filter those out if i need to do logcat.
It's the 4G radio that causes major battery drain, not the repeated log messages anyway
My path
AB 4.11 -->Rooted ED1 (via odin) -->ED2 (via OTA) --> EE4 (via update.zip)
Verified EE4 listed in about phone, and 6 signal bars.
Started over, this time path was:
Rooted ED1 (via odin) -->EE4 (via OTA)
Verified EE4 listed in about phone, and 6 signal bars.
Still NO 4g AT ALL. toggled between CDMA and LTE, restarted phone countless times...
I need help please.
Update:
4g works in other places, no longer works around my neigborhood.
Before the update I had 4 bars of signal and 4g. After update i have 6 bars of signal but no 4g.
I was averaging 4g dl speeds of 12-25 mbps/sec, now i can't get it at all at home.
I guess I'll find out after work, but I wonder if I needed to get to a primary 4g area to have the roaming/tower list updated, if this is the case, it may work when I get back home, since it works on 4g closer to the city.
Nobody has a clue?
You gave people 4 hours at the beginning of the work day to answer, maybe they're doing something more important, like you know, working?
Have you considered calling Verizon? If 4G is still working elsewhere, then there isn't much anyone here can do. Maybe they are playing with the towers in your area.
4 hours is an eternity on these boards... LOL
Point taken, just freaking out a bit. I'll contact verizon tomorrow if I still do not have 4g in a previously strong 4g area.
For starters, EE4 only gives us 5 bars
I don't know if it fixed much though. Seems the same, sometimes worse. GPS didn't change, gooooo Samsung.
Good catch...5 bars...
Has anyone got the one click call-back feature in call history screen working? Doesn't for me, just acts same as usual.
If the one click callback is the phone icon on the far right, then yes. I don't remember how it used to look.

Yep, that icon, when I click it it does not call, instead it brings you to the contact screen for that person in which you have to click the "call" button.
I am absoluetely on EE4 as verified by using settings-->about and presence of 5 bar signal meter.
If you click that phone icon, does it actually place the call for you?

I'm on EE4, and no, this does not place a call for me. You can, of course, just press name and swipe right to call, or left to message.

Thanks for the swipe info..I didn't know that!
However, the EE4 update clearly lists:
"Easily return calls within the call log entry by pressing the phone icon."
So I guess there patch has bugs, or is incomplete.
Just wanted to say for the people looking for a new rom that dlev just got released today and its the fastest I've used yet.. it looks nice and I'm testing battery soon so ill keep you posted.
INFUSE 1.6 OC
Its very fast, GPS seems to not be locking, I've tried installing ruxkg3 modem, seems to work good, still no GPS
Also Swype needs to be wiped and reinstalled to get it to work. Coming off infused I went from 2400 to 3500 quadrant for what its worth, phone just feels faster. Anyone have any ideas for GPS?
Shane
Yes it feels way faster than infused to me though I love the both of them and it prolly helps that dlev comes with acidtweaks so yeah. I'm trying to learn most of the stuff and fixes for problems.. lol I haven't tried GPS yet. Will there be a fix for the first phone call or is that just a downside for hellraiser?
INFUSE 1.6 OC
Well with heavy usage including a lot of YouTube, Bluetooth my music in my car, texting all day, and just browsing the web I got out 12hrs with 8% left..
INFUSE 1.6 OC
Love this ROM and the Dev responds quick and is making every effort to solve all bugs out

Exactly why I'm deciding on staying with this rom until official GB
Did you guys manage to get the "1st call after boot = no audio" problem? I had to toggle on/off the speakerphone button every single call... I changed ROMs 'cause it was a bit of a hassle trying to quickly answer a call, then realizing I had to turn on/off the speaker option (my friends and family get angry if you don't answer within the first second of picking up the phone lol)

You should only have to toggle speaker after boots and only on first call, after that you should be fine.
Hellraisers Known Issues:
First phone call after a boot will not have sound. Any calls after that are fine. Toggling speakerphone mode seems to fix this immediately.
Using the Market may make data drop if you are not on Wifi. Simply toggling Airplane Mode, and back again will bring data back.
Battery Life test
This ROM has been excellent.
So I did a test trying minimal phone use and manually managing wifi/data. I uninstalled my power/data management app. My phone was on the whole time, maybe a reboot here and there, never powered off, and ran it till it died. I only turned on wifi/data when i needed it and here was the result:

Other than those listed above, is anyone else have an issue of not being able to power on the phone if the charger is plugged in?

Just got one for a father's day gift and I've been using the watch for the past week. Love it, but can't stop feeling that I'm not using it to its full potential. Thought maybe if I got some questions answered here, I would feel better.
1. what's the GPS, Wifi options for on the watch? I don't have GPS on right now, but Wifi is enabled. Not sure what app uses it, but I thought everything was connected to the phone through BT, so didn't need additional connections on the watch. Can someone clarify?
2. The weather app that's pre-installed is slow to refresh...meaning when I travel from city to city, I want to know what the weather is like in the next city (current temp, etc.), but can't for the life of me figure out how to manually refresh current location?
3. I only can read the last message in a string of text messages....is there no way to look at all unread on the watch?
Thanks in advance for your help guys!
Gps: use for workout apps, tracking distance, Mapping, directions. Wifi in case you don't have phone nearby-can use Wi-Fi service where you are. The Gear S3 can operate on its own, without having to be connected to the phone.
Weather app- well you can manually refresh it and it should update when you so that. Also many weather apps available for it.
Messages - you should be able to scroll up once you click on the person, to see previous messages.
It can be a stand alone phone-if you left your phone at home and it's on, you can use the watch as a phone and receive and make calls on it, as long as it was Bluetooth connected to the cell phone before you left.
