this is the first rom i'm ever flashed to. I had my phone rooted already for some other things and had a recovery image on there but first custom rom just now. Here are my thoughts if you care to read them:

-I like that I can get all the extra apps. That is awesome.
-I like the os version better in general, although i think i like the sprint bars and evdo graphic better. With this one its always showing me at 1 or 2 bars. I know i have better signal (probably from radio update) because I looked in the settings and its has better db but i hate seeing 1 or 2 bars.
-I did not notice a huge speed impovement, but did notice some of the areas where the phone used to lag big time are now much reduced.
-I really hope visual voicemail is really fixed as I hate being without it. I get a lot of voicemails for work.
-I cant get wifi tether to work. PC connects, gets ip, but wont browse the web.
-holding 1 takes me to some sort of vigin mobile site after dialing *86. I tried dialing *86 from wife's phone and I get the same thing. How do i change that to my number so i can hold 1 for voicemail?

-after applying the updates, i got text messages with a bunch of gibberish telling me something about sprint trying to send me a voicemail and to call a sprint number. I deleted them but wish i hadn't so i could post them here.

overall great work and I love it. sorry for long post....


KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!!!!!
Espresso is basically just a theme, gives a square bar at the bottom instead of the standard round one.

As for your voicemail problem, go to Menu>Settings>Call>Voicemail settings, and enter your phone number (you might have to select "my carrier" under Voicemail service first).

WiFi tether I have no experience with, no use for it.

I'm sure there's a theme/taskbar out there that'll bring you back to a stock taskbar...I haven't messed with it yet (I agree about the signal icon though)
