Root Sprint based roms?

[DaveM1]

I was just reading through some posts and saw something that intrigued me. Is there a way to flash a Sprint based rom and use the NASCAR App that they exclusively have? Kind of like Verizon with the NFL?

Forgot to mention im currently using xtr 3.0.3 and on Verizon.

That's a good question. I'd be interested in knowing this too.

Interesting idea, DaveM1.

Just a thought: if you don't get an answer to that right away, you can help the community a bit by doing a nand backup of your current ROM, flashing one of the Sprint ported ROMs, attempting to install the app you want and reporting your success or failure.

Here's a little help to maybe speed up the process.

Question on the nand back up. When i do a nand back up of my current xtr rom will it save everything so when i flash back to this current rom i am using everything will be in place when i left it? Apps and all the settings the same?

Yes, that's what's so nice about that feature called nand backup/restore; it does restore your device as it was right before doing the backup.

Yes indeedy.. Aloysius Snow is my second favorite; a very close second, I might add.

Probably an obvious answer but I assume this is the V12 version is what i want correct?

Update.. just flashed the NASCAR app to the xtr rom and when i open it is tries to load and shows the Nascar icon but eventually get a FC, tried a reboot and another FC. So now to flash the Aloysius.

Flashed to the Aloysius rom and still nothing it says it's not responding and i have FC.

Any ideas anyone?
