Uscc 6800 Gps, Custom Roms, Downgrading Guide

try reflashing it from the bootloader. If that doesn't work, build the rom again and then try it.

One thing I am suspicious of.. some people talk about one ROM being buggy.. another not being so buggy.. yet the buggy rom works great for this other person.. Seems to me what you select from the Kitchen probably plays a huge part in the perception of the ROM's performance. Just wish I could add/remove things from it without having to reflash it. My phone's GPS works and other things work.. but it seems less responsive.. and I'm wondering if it could be due to some of the "tweaks" I enabled in the ROM. :\

Now I don't mean that it's so bad that it's unusable.. it's just that it seems to "Think" before it responds to many of my clicks that it used to just respond to instantly. It's got a lot of memory freed up, and there is nothing monopolizing the CPU... weird.

I wish you hadn't changed the picture that starts up. Now it's stuck on that and won't finish booting into windows Mobile.

hmmm... weird.. now my Gmail account on my phone is set to IMAP rather than pop3.... and it won't let me change it or create a GMAIL account as pop3 as when it sees it's a gmail account it gets all happy and tells me that the settings have been found. So now for some reason all the emails I had restored to it from my PIM backup are not showing...

[larrybagina]

They might not show up because there is a setting to only show recent emails. I do not remember off hand where to change the setting, but that would be my guess.

I think the username under the gmail settings is something like "recent:username@gmail.com". A search might be of more help than I am.

[petermg]

Thanks, but I actually had my GMAIL account setup as POP3. My guess is that in the ROM I just flashed with, 20273, it's automatic settings for Gmail is IMAP. Either that or I selected a wrong option for my rom.

Ok, I've done enough ranting, now here's some raving!!

The Live Search on this is UNBELIEVABLE!! I can actually SPEAK for whatever it is I'm searching "Pizza Hut", "Grocery Stores", "Movie Theaters", and it actually RECOGNIZES what I'm saying, and returns results sorted from closest to farthest based on my GPS location!! DUDE!! SERIOUSLY! This is WAY more practical than Google Maps. No offense, I still like Google Maps, and I can see myself move around as a blue dot on the map when I drive or walk, but to be able to actually just SPEAK what I'm looking for and get results with the phone number and directions from my exact location!! That is IMPRESSIVE.... *MOST* impressive.

YUP..... And to wonder why USCC did not do the GPS upgrade on their own and make customers happy?

[petermg]

Ok well I'm going to search for a program that will be able to "back up" my customizations or at least my programs so I don't have to reinstall everything that isn't listed in the kitchen. For example, not only the files, but the registry entries as well. Would be nice to not have to redo all my programs then customizations. Would make me a lot less reluctant to flash my phone again if I had such an application.

[petermg]

After I build a ROM.. is there a way I can save the file? Like if I want to test different rom selections? It takes a long time to build a rom and I keep getting "Do you wish to overwrite this file?" messages about 100 times each time I build the rom, so I have to hold down the Y or N button forever. I have to babysit it.

Is there a way to save the rom files and then select which rom you wish to use to flash with?
