Root [ROM]{MS840} Number_Two v1.8 ~ ZVA

First of all I've been running #2 pretty much as long as I've had my connect, thank you and it's the only custom rom I've ever flashed and not felt the urge to customize it much further, it's very much my style. Secondly, am I the only person who's noticed that SW Version shows vv3? I am aware that devs sometimes can't get versions to display correctly. Is this truly built off the new vv5? ;)

any reports of mms issues?
this rom should be fully working, maye even better than most due to it not being deodex'd.. kinda gives you a lil boost with performance & boot time with the negative effect of no theming/modding apk's & jar's :/

but its the best i could do.. anybody feel free to pick up where i left off :D

Oh boohoo, no theming :D dude this is the best rom for our device and I very much appreciate it! As I said before, #2 is the only rom I've ever flashed and thought "Yeah, this is pretty much how I want it!". Anyhow, according to the log my mms issue has nothing to do with the rom. It's switching between services in the middle of a LARGE mms, and thus fails sometimes. Poor data connections, although infinitely better now than before, are still just something we have to deal with as Metro customers ;)
