I already have a custom SDX rom, can I apply this over that, or do I need to go back to sprint stock?
That is what I did due to me being lazy. It has worked fine for me.

gonna try it later today then, woot. Also, I gather from the other posts here that I don't need to back up my apps/settings?
Phone has been going for about 11 hours and now in the yellow. Battery life is a lot better then yesterday. Still no way I can get 24 hours of use out of this phone and still use it. I was running off a rooted 2.1 that was recently flashed about a month ago so should be DE03.
I would give it a couple of days. I would also restart your phone maybe 4-5 times. I personally feel that my phone worked better, faster, and lasted longer after I did this. If you do decide you want to go back to stock or other Rom, then yes you reinstall 2.1.
Depends heavily on usage, I've had my moment last a couple days but all it did was get checked periodically and most of the time sat there un-touched. Yesterday I managed to kill it in about 6 hours from just texting and I didn't think I was texting that much. It seems to kill the phone pretty quickly.
I'm gonna have to dump it. Every time I reboot it loads up a ton of apps that I have to kill, and my battery life sucks. Also, half the time it turns GPS on and I can't turn it off.
I ran the 1.8.6 version for about a week it worked well enough though I did have two random reboots in that time period. I think all phones just sometimes do that. Battery life was ok. I charge every night so it was not a biggie. I could go rom 630 in the morning to 730 ish at night which is my work day and talk for about 2 hours and text and check email and browse the market. It was adecent battery for my use and was ok. My reason for not using it was I could not get GPS to find me. I think that is more an issue with the sprint nav update though instead of the ROM as I went back to stock and GPS worked fine until I upgraded to 1092 version from 1088. But I am happy as it is easier to theme of the stock template as well.
I've had to do that since my HTC Touch days. Sometimes my GPS will lock on quickly sometimes it takes forever. But most of the problems it seems have come after the "Official" release of 2.1 My DD10 GPS worked perfectly.i'm getting 15-18 hours easily with heavy use with this rom, and 20+ with lighter use (longest i've gone is 40 with very light use). but it took a few days and a few charges before i was able to get that kind of battery life though. and gps works just fine for me as long as i run the gps status app first. it's annoying to have to do that, but it makes the function work, so whatever needs to be done i guess.
