I'm exchanging the xv6900 for a xv6800, for the keyboard.
What's the latest info on what rom I should return it with?

You can't go back! Not exactly sure how your gonna pull it off. Someone else said they changed the startup images to look like the stock, but it's pretty risky. If you return it with any ROM, I would suggest cooking a new ROM to match as closely as possible. The only problem is, the Radio is changed, and the info will be displayed on boot up. I imagine at some point, someone would notice it.

Bottom line is, you've completely altered the device, which voided your warranty.

Yeh, I knew the risks, maybe stuck with the Vogue.

I'm within the 30 days return for exchange time.

So what happens if they don't like my radio version?

They simply wont exchange it? Or do they close the account? Or do they escort me out back and shoot me?

No prob! But, if they do see you've altered it, depending on when they notice, will probably depend on their action. Who knows, maybe if you can make it look official, and they accept, then it's their fault for accepting and can't refuse down the road.

Personally, I traded in my 6800 for the device, because of the extra amount of memory. The only differences I see that really stick out is the keyboard and WiFi, both I could live without. But, I couldn't stand the small amount of memory. I would imagine the worst they would do is refuse the trade, I highly doubt they would terminate the contract.

This looks like a good link for 'fixing' your Verizon to close to original.

I finally found this after many searches and after posting here :P

Anyone following this link, be sure to read everything here, there's considerations about the radio version and brinking the phone, so be careful.

Acutally this link is for the 6800 Titan, I'm looking for the Vogue one if there is one....

Problem is, there is official stock ROM available to flash, which you've probably seen by now. At least there wasn't a couple of weeks ago. That's why the xv6900 ROM threads have warnings everywhere.

I'm keeping the 6900, thanks to some tips about the lower memory size of the 6800. It is kinda frustrating to have to decide between a keyboard or more ram. But also the size of the 6800 would make it less pocketable, I want the keyboard, but the same size as the vogue....

Anyway if I do need to return this for some reason it would be great to have a thread on converting it so yes pls thanks.

If you haven't yet, get Resco Keyboard. About $20, it's one of those things you must have.

i personally think touchpal is the best if you use 6.1 you need to use the 6.1 version or your phone will reset while texting i send around two thousand a month and traded my mogul for the touch for the more memory and believe me the touch is the one to have especially if you put alot of stuff on your device
