I'm Not Real, Doris!
This rom wasn't made for the connect. It has a different kernel that was made for the esteem. I'm not sure if its bricked or not. But does it turn on when its charging?

SMH. Wow.
What would even posses you to do such a thing?
If you have recovery, just pray you can boot into it and flash a back up. If you dont have recovery, then just go ahead and head to metro store. Just when you think you've seen it all.

Yea like Fuzzy said just go ahead and head to the nearest Metropcs location and tell them you had to turn your phone off for a while and when you went to turn it back on nothing happens.
Not to be a jerk and rub salt in the wound but just let it be a hard lesson learned. Never ever ever ever ever ever flash a ROM or kernel or recovery that's not made specifically for your make and model or you will brick.
(Unless you have a Huawei Ascend. that damn little phone is unbrickable. I flashed Samsung, LG, HTC , Motorola, and ZTE roms on that phone trying to purposely brick it and that little bastard powered up and rebooted back into cwr up every damn time.
Biggest slowest POS phone but I love that little warrior. I still have mine because I just can't part ways with that SOB )

[verify=all,optimize=verified,uniproccessor=yes,map ing=yes] These are the new settings and yes you can download power amp from market
im pretty sure test3 will be the winner, but im awaiting feedback

Ok this little things confused me so t3 I will download and install I have been doing full wipes but that's just me with those 2 things that ldrifta mention that is if I just wanted to simply update without wiping correct
You dont have to do a full wipe anytime you are installing the SAME rom. It's just a different version. If it was a different ROM then you would have to wipe.

yes!! ^^ and if you read the VERY FIRST line of OP it says
"my roms will format your system & cache partitions prior to installation, so tequnically you dont have to ever wipe anything if you religously use my rom lol unless i say otherwise, for like a huuuge update just incase..
but if you have changed something or messed with any internal settings in a way that resulted badly, then you MUST wipe data to restore to stock/default rom settings
think of doing a data wipe as the 'root users factory reset' lol (if not flashing a new rom)
