Root [Boost Mobile] [ROM] Windows Phone 7 ROM 4.2.3 {Updated 1/22/13}

Hello,

I did an experiment: not wiped nothing, installed 1.1 on B08c:
- Had B08c,customized: rooted, cwm_arthur_5028, JBrd400_cwm_data_fix_v2, GoLauncerEx, SetCPU, ... 176 apps, all working perfect, no lags, no FCs.
- Nandroid backup, fingers crossed.
- Put "WP7.romVer1.1.zip" on sdcard.
- Install zip from sdcard.
- Rebooted.

Everything working perfect. I didn't find any errors.
I had 3 launchers on my Warp and didn't find any improvement, so restored my previous B08c customized, but must say this rom works without errors.

oops!
rebooted to see what the smaller icons looked like and hit the wrong launcher. How do I get wp7 launcher back?

Go to settings applications manage application and find the launcher you accidentally chooses and select it and tap clear defaults press the home button and it should bring you back to wp7 launcher, you running 1.1 or 2.0?

Very very good (WP7.romVer2.0).
I am using GoLAuncherEx, no WP7.
No issues found. I checked camera (no FCs), calls, gps, mail, alarm, usb (dual mount) and some of my apps.
Seems to be more responsive than stock b08c, no lags at all.

I didn't wipe/factory settings, flashed over b08c with data and didn't loose any data, my 178 apps still there working ok... just wiped cache & dalvik before install.

Thanks

Can you share what speed improvements you made that we can add to our stock roms along with the build.prop tweeks?

This speed tweak is different from the build.prop i had to decomple the systemui.apk edit a string and it should boost the phone by a bit. if you switch the systemui.apks you will have part of my theme.
