No, peons say "ready to work", the Human Alliance Peasants say "Ready to Serve".

I want my internets...

Not in Warcraft II they don't. They say "Ready to serve".

They might have changed the .wav file in later releases to be more PC.

Unless I am getting old and confusing the names of the orc/humans. Which, at 44 years, is quite possible.

In that case, yes, you can have your internets.

At any rate, my computer said that for years (back when an AMD K6-2 400Mhz was the shizzle)

On a total side note, which will likely be modded, anyone know where I can get those .wav files?

No need to get all worked up. As incredible as my Incredible may be, should the update come out or not... there is no need to get all upset.

If there is no update, you will: 1) Root and install custom ROM, 2) Upgrade your phone (which you should be considering, if your Froyo filled Inc isn't cutting it anymore.

You think you're upset? I have to wait for the update to be modified so I can flash my rooted Inc! I probably have to way like six hours more! Hahah :)

So about that update...

NightAngel79, thank you for clarifying. Now I can make sure my girlfriend doesn't rub it in my face (she has the Dinc2).

Does anyone know how to get rid of the extra splash/boot up images? I have a custom one that replaces the "HTC Incredible" screen but the "HTC quietly brilliant" and "DROID" still pop up after. Save me!

Still debating whether to unroot and go stock when Verizon releases it. For those of you with doubts, the 2.3.4 rom is FAST. Bootup in literally 10 seconds. Sweet baby jesus in a birch bark canoe!

I decided to root last night and install the rom, and this thing is fast. I was not aware my Incredible could move so fast. I am glad I decided to root and install this rooted rom. I think I will be better off than waiting for Verizon to release theirs and be stuck with their bloat. I have removed a few programs that I never have any intention of running and will probably remove a few more. So far I have not found any bugs.

Wow, i just fixed the build prop because you (verizon) decided to just use the sprint ota version of the prop. I had to just so i could see verizon apps in the market instead of sprint. I cant see defending this great verizon dev team. I always have to fix things. I hope everyone enjoys the ota leak.

I installed yours last night and have had zero problems with it. Great job, and thanks for all of your hard work.

I installed this rom, [ROM] Incredible Stock OTA [RLS2] [4.06.605.2] [Android 2.3.4] [8/17/11] [Fast!!] - xda-developers.

The battery life doesn't seem that different from stock froyo, but it is the first day and I have been using it more than I did previously. The speed is definitely better though, no question about that.

I dont think you understand. The "leaked" ROM over at XDA is obviously a hacked up rip from the EVO. This is not hard to see. Another reason I never use 3rd party ROMs as they just dont work correctly.

OK Evan, enough is enough. Please do not go further with your charade. It is no longer entertaining. You and I both know the truth. Don't we?

A hacked up evo rip that HAPPENS to have the same exact build number as our update? That runs flawlessly on our phone? Same stupid location icon in the status bar? The fact that if this WAS a hacked up evo release, why wouldn't they just change the FLIPPIN' build prop themselves? It's not hard to see that you have no clue what you're talking about here, none.

And this rom runs great. Faster than cm7, and no problems to speak of.

Agreed, he should stop digging.

Thank you for once again proving OUR point.

Hacked EVO rom or not, it runs flawlessly! Anyone found any problems?

Apparently Evan has.

:p

So its a EVO rom?? Not a chance, though our phones are similar the drivers used in each device are completely different. I don't believe for a sec a EVO rom would work so well on our phone

Isn't Evo only available on Sprint? If so, why would this rom also have all of the Verizon apps pre-installed? There is no way this is an Evo based rom that was never intended for the Incredible.

Just curious, why is the ROM almost twice the size of the OTA?

Noob ignorance.

MolBasser

If I am not mistaken, and trust me that is very possible, the OTA is just a patch to the existing ROM, not the full blown rom downloaded to our phones. The full blown rom, when released, will probably be about the same size as the one at XDA currently.
