Ok, so after all of the frustration over the entire 2.1 debacle (even though "technically" Sprint has 1 more week to produce 2.1 before blowing their updated timeline of Early Q2), I am considering Rooting/ROMing my phone. I've been on the fence before, but I'm back on it again.
The only problem I'm seeing after doing a bunch of reading is this:
There doesn't appear to be a ROM that is fully functional without "workarounds" or patches. Everything I've read, unless I am not understanding it correctly, which is possible, states that in order for "A" to work, you have to install "B" which you can download here, but you have to patch the download with the file from this site and change this line of code in the adb shell.....then you have to check every 20 minutes to make sure that the file hasn't updated.....etc.
I think you know what I mean....it may not be that extreme, but it does seem like there is quite a bit of work involved in getting the simplest of functions to work depending on which ROM you choose.
The question I have is this, is there a ROM that has the functions of 2.1 that I could root the phone (preferably using an automatic method), install the ROM and be completely done with it? After the ROM install, everything works and there are no other mods that need to be made?
I do appreciate all of the things that the technically inclined can do with the different ROMs, but I just don't have the time to put forth.
I guess what I'm asking is if the official Sprint 2.1 were released right now, I would flash the RUU, unplug the phone and walk away. Everything is golden and there is nothing additional required to get stuff to work. Is there a current ROM out there like this? I've read a bit about DC2.08.1 and Fresh 2.0d, but both seem to have their issues.
For instance, the DC thread at XDA states "there's 225 pages in this thread, if something doesn't work, search for it and you'll find it". That's the thing, I unfortunately don't have time to search for and fix things, which is why I'm posing the question.
TIA.
