[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] moblues:
My HTC Titan is FREE...FREE... Thank God Almighty... FREE!

Hi all.... first time poster, short-time XDA forum reader. Mainly out of necessity. I decided to dump my bloated stock ROM over the weekend and read, read, read, re-read, read, and re-read everything I could about all the great stuff you guys have been enjoying and doing with your HTC Titan phones!! I couldn't believe it! Forgive my new excitement and "noob attitude", but I am a converted believer!

I kept reading and saying, "HOLY CHIT... that's amazing! No wonder my phone is so dam slow! OR.... Are you kidding me, THAT'S WHY I don't have GPS on because Sprint crippled my phone?!!"

Anyways....

Boy, am I late to this party. Man, I can't but agree with everyone here that commented about dcd's work.

Killa Job, DCD!! :D

Followed all the directions and upgraded by the bootloader by SD formatted at FAT32, then the Radio ROM and then the dcd 3.2.6 ROM, hard reset and I was in HTC Heaven.

WARNING: New user feelin' liberated story RANT ahead!

So... quick story on why I finally dove in and dumped my stock ROM.... went to D.C. for business last Wed-Fri and I couldn't figure out why for the life of me my ICS was no longer working. I had used it successfully to connect my laptop when I had travelled to Colorado back in August without any problems and even amazed my father as he had never heard of "tethering" nor experienced DSL-like speeds off a data connected to his desktop machine (my father is retired and still has free dial-up 28.8 modem to the university he used to work for... another story).

Called Sprint to ask for help on "error code: 67" that they put there (caused) in the first place to keep the likes of us users from using our unlimited data plan with our laptops.... and after an hour the tech support convo went like this:

Tech: Sir, did you restore your Profile to the phone?

Me: Yes, did that like 3x. [Didn't know it at the time but I wrote down all the ## codes and my own MSL unlock code going through this.]

Tech: Sir, let's try that again and I'll walk you through it.

Me: Okay, but I was able to use my phone with my laptop last time.... why isn't this easier? It worked a couple of months ago before I upgraded to the newest firmware update you released thru the HTC website.

Tech: OOooooh... mmm, Sir, that's another $50 charge for wanting to use your phone as a modem.

Me: :eek: [scoobydoo impersonation] Huuuuuuuuuuh?!!! That's not right! I pay $100 bucks a month for a unlimited data plan and you want another $50?

:mad:

Needless to say, I hung up the phone and was piss off'd. Made the decision to liberate my phone from this oppressive provider and do everything in my power to squeeze out every functionality out of MY device. That's right... MY DEVICE! I know that I got it subsidized by Sprint but I'm dam near the end of my 2-year contract with them and I dam well paid for it.

/END of RANT ## Thank you ##

Question:

1. So my ## codes no longer work now... is that true? I couldn't get to my profile like I used to when I viewed it using my MSL code.

2. Is there anyway to add a battery status icon on the top bar back? I really liked to know what my battery level is...

Thanks DCD and all....
