When you say all the functionality, I assume you mean the things that come with the Sense ROM. Like the e-mail client, the camera, the button layout, widget control, etc, etc. Correct?

Well, I guess all I can think of that I need is camera, 3D and GPS. When I rooted my HTC Zero my GPS would overheat and shut off the phone in a matter of minutes. I thought the phone had gone bad, but when I removed root and returned it to stock and tested the GPS, it worked perfect. I just don't want something like that to happen with this phone because it's plenty fast without a custom rom.

Use a Sense based rom like Synergy, I used that and it was fast and stable. As for rooting what HBoot are you? If 1.5 you need to unlock via HTC's method.

Just rooted yesterday with HTC method and flashed CleanROM. SO far so good. Everything functions like stock. My battery did drain faster, but I'm working on isolating the problem with that.

Battery drain was due to Facebook for Android trying to sync my live stream (even though I unchecked the box under 'account&sync' menu). I think it was due to my removing Friend Stream, so if you do root, you may want to keep FriendStream on your phone, just in case. I'm now at almost two hours off the charger and still at 96%.

      Does anyone know how well implemented is VoNR in the 5 boroughs. Does anyone use it? I have an iPhone 15 Pro. Does anyone know if T-Mobile is still working on upgrading their network? It seems like the service has gone down. My phone struggles in parts of the Belt Pkwy, and data is slow.

      I come to the US Open men’s semifinals and finals every year, and I’ve never been able to use my T-Mobile phone successfully. Usually AT&T is the top performer—good to hear Verizon has upped their game.

      One sector down, two more to go — — — — —  I was at Arthur Ashe Stadium for the U.S. Open today and the good news is that there is an n25/41 DAS setup throughout USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. From the "boardwalk" to the outdoor concession area, to inside the stadium; you connect to standalone n41 and n25 everywhere via oDAS and iDAS. The bad news is that in the actual stadium it's beyond useless. While I saw strong coverage as indicated by signal bars and I was able to make calls and send texts, there was no data throughput at all. Running a speed test failed 9 out of 10 times. The only time I got a speed test to work was by switching to LTE funnily enough or by using NSA 5G where the test would initiate via LTE and then n41 would kick in giving me ~20Mbps. T-Mobile has so much traffic on their 5G network that now n41 gets bogged down before LTE. That was a first for me! In the stadium in the same area Verizon got 1.2Gbps on mmWave and LTE kept timing out when trying to test it. My Boost line on AT&T got upwards of 150Mbps on C-band and I know they have mmWave deployed as I saw their Nokia mmWave antennas deployed but I was unable to test it. In the outdoor concession area T-Mobile performed well getting over 150Mbps on n41. AT&T in these areas saw over 250Mbps on C-band and I didn't get the opportunity to test Verizon there. It just seems like 140MHz n41 is not enough capacity for the amount of people inside the stadium. Hopefully T-Mobile is considering deploying n258 to all of these stadiums since they now own that mmWave nationwide. It'd make a world of difference in terms of capacity at these venues.

      Looks like the second n41 carrier in Seattle was finally upgraded to 90 MHz recently. No idea why it took so long but at least they finally did it.
