Default [Q] cricket zio sprint rom project.

We need to get the ball rolling again by the looks of whats going on with cricket they are discontinuing the phone.. This means no update will be available to the zio cricket users. Cricket dooped us to thinking a rom update would be available to clear out all the inventory of the zio. This way they can make more room for new phones they dont have to pay to upgrade.

i know we as a community had successfully had a sprint 2.1 rom on the 1.6 cricket phone. i know there are compatibilities that are not the same but the phone is doomed to 1.6 and by the looks of how cricket is playing this they keep saying dates so they can keep the customers from returning the phones. so now we are stuck with a phone without any updates and now wasted our cash on a phone that could have been so much better.

The sad thing is the cricket users were the ones burnt here not cricket. lets get the project rolling again thanks.

I agree. I'm not into the technical aspects *yet* but I am willing to experiment.
