I am unsure of this new sense that you are talking about! I have found absolutely no bugs whatsoever and it really does not run any different than any of the other roms that I have run!

My understanding is that there is supposed to be a new version of Sense UI for 2.1 coming out that will enable live wallpapers. All we have now does not allow live wallpapers unless you change it so you are not using Sense. As for bugs, what I had read yesterday was this this tester version still had plenty, and that the ROMs the guys at xda have been working on were to fix the bugs.

Also, as of last night, haven't checked out XDA yet this morning, one of the devs over there had made a flashable update.zip out of this adding in su, busybox and all other necessities.

Ya I saw that thread on XDA, it seems his server is down, but i am sure it will be back up!
I do know that our processors are really not fast enough to even run LWP's, only a few of them are able to run! I am pretty sure they are not going to have LWP's on our phones! Although I would like to see friendstream, love it on the legend rom!
I did notice one thing, there is no pinch to zoom, but I always kinda thought that was a gimmick anyway!
No bugs so far!

I just downloaded it onto my demo phone (I am a Sprint dealer, I had to try it, better to fry my demo than my own phone). I am currently reinstalling all my apps on the phone, I think that it is awesome that the Android market finally shows what apps you have downloaded. When the update was finished, I had to go through the little tutorial just like you would if you just got the phone new out of the box. It showed the pinch to zoom feature, but I just pressed the home key.

Let me know if the pinch to zoom works on your, as I can't get it to work anywhere!

hmmm, so I am assuming then that since everything is the same except the build and pri, that perhaps they didn't change much in the ROMs????

Pinch to zoom works, at least in the browser, on fresh 2.0d. So it doesn't work on this one huh?

I also wonder since this uses tester keys, can and will they kill the keys so that you can't download from the market now that it is leaked? Or are these tester keys not used for that purpose? I thought this was why damagecontrol ROMs couldn't show all protected apps in market.

I am wondering the same thing about the tester keys, and I also thought that was why protected apps did not work, but have not found an app I could not find yet!
I had no problem with pinch to zoom in DC or fresh, I am still waiting on word if it works on the other guys phone, so maybe it's just mine!

Edit:
What is the build# on the one you are running?

So far, I have done the following:

Make and receive phone calls
Send & receive txts
Download from the market
Set up my wi-fi connection
Surf the internet
Sprint Navigation
Just tried Sprint Nascar App, that works as well!!

I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS AT ALL! Also, I can pinch in from the sides on the home screen (or any sense screen) and it goes to a circle where you can pick which scene you want. I don't know if this is pinch to zoom, but it does this.

Also, when you double click the menu button, sometimes there is like fog that moves across the home screen. Would this be considering a live wallpaper?

Nah that is just the new weather animation!
Can you try to pinch to zoom in the browser!

Considering doing a total wipe and ruu this today. I just found out by reading the xda forums that flipz, maker of fresh ROM, is the one who released the ruu. While I am glad the RUU is out, I am a bit concerned that I have a ROM on my phone from someone who broke his word and the source's confidentiality. Kinda makes me wonder what he may have done in his ROMs. I usually try to avoid internet fights like this, but considering how he screwed the whole community, I have to question his honesty now, especially since I use my phone for so much. It sucks too, cause this ROM seemed so good.

My build number is fresh rom from 2.0d by flipz

I was running his for a of half a day, and did not like the fact that he had a script for the PRI fix, every rom I went to after that still had the flipz PRI and that included an RUU back to 1.5, I hate it when shit is forced on me!
Just keep that in mind when do an RUU it might still be there and it might not!

I am a Sprint dealer. I just called my Service Director and told him that I just installed the 2.1 update. I also made sure to tell him that it wasn't some sort of flash with custom roms. I told him how this looked and how the update worked. What was weird is how quiet he became. He told me that unless that Sprint officially releases it, that it probably isn't good. Once I told him that I had Sprint Navigation running, he was just quiet again. He then said, well, whoever leaked it from Sprint would probably be fired if they ever got caught.

I can't find anything wrong with this yet, this might be the real deal that we have finally been waiting for.

Agreed have not found anything wrong with it either! Except for my pinch to zoom!

Edit: Update
I went try to see if I could get into recovery by holding home+ power, did not work by the way, but when it booted back up pinch to zoom was working! Very strange so now it's 100%

Hmm, so you just alerted someone higher up in Sprint that 2.1 was leaked and that he could get a copy of the leak from you?

Im running a 100% fully functional 2.1 ROM and this RUU is not even close to being as good as what im running. Dont see what all the fuss is for. There are several things not in this RUU that are in the custom ROM im running. Screw sprint, as I see it, the devs on XDA have brought what they couldn't and then some.

Can you elaborate please on exactly what is missing? We know busybox and the patched sh, su but those things are easily fixed. This is exactly what Flipz and DC, all of the Devs were working from as their base. Also, supposedly all 2.1 custom ROMs have problems with bluetooth audio, and over at xda there is a thread saying that this RUU has full functioning bluetooth working 100%.

Where can I get a link to this 2.1 leak?

I believe it is in the 10th post on this thread. If that doesn't take you to it, go to the CDMA Hero section of xda forums, there is a thread there with it.

I would post the link myself, but I don't wish to be hit with the ban hammer if it is still taboo. I think everything is ok now since Damageless himself released it after the dust settled yesterday, but I want to be sure first. :)

Edit:
Haven't had a chance to play with it yet, but I rebooted after doing the RUU myself. Pinch to zoom did indeed work on Sense UI also.
